anti-indationary program is stin needed
He seems less than realistic, too, In as
serting that his request for such a pro-
gram has been one Of the main reasons
why We are not In period OF skyrocketing
prices. A sounder explanation, OF course,
Is that our unprecedented postwar produc-
ton has about succeeded in bringing sup
ply into balance with domestic consumer
demand. In other words. apart from such
fields as housing, the extraordinary needs
built up during the years Of wartime short
ages have been largely satisfied, with the
result that imitation has little left TO feed
upon, and many businesses. through
stepped-up sales efforts, must now bestir
themselves to get and hold customers
Accordingly, although the President has
disavowed any knowledge Of such a move.
1t will not be surprising If the Democratic
leaders in Congress shelve his program,
as they have reportedly decided TO do. In
the light of events, despite his insistence
to the contrary logic would seem TO favor
that course. Certainly, II there Is no real
runaway horse in our economy. there can
be little sense in legislating lassoes and
brides for II.

Mr.. Wallace's Double Standard
r. rdtor nf The

It seems TO me that Henry Wallace has
two balances, in one OF which he weighs the
foreign policy Of the American Government,
and finds any measure taken by 1t to defend
Western Europe from aggression, a defense
considered vital TO the defense OF our
country, wanting in Justification.
In the other. he weighs the foreign policy
of Soviet Russia. and fnds the measures
taken by it, in extending its powers over
Eastern Europe and China. not wanting in
justification as defensive measures.
Now, the thing necessary to the achieve
ment of lone world Is agreement on one
balance, In which to weigh the foreign
policies of nations. And 1t must be a balance
agreed on, not Just imposed by one power
on other nations.
And 1t Is Soviet Russia which seeks 10
impose Its balance and has succeeded In i'm
posing 1t on her weak neighbors and on the
credulity Of Henry Wallace.

appropriation item of major import. How
generously and how promptly Congress
handles this bill will have large bearing
on the success of the long planned District
of Columbia Sesquicentennial observance
next year. The bill would appropriate
81 ,5000 900 with which to carry out Presi-
dent Truman's expressed desire for cele-
bration "in keeping with the high impor-
tance of the occasion"
Actually, the program originally drawn
up by the sesquicentennial Commission
would require fund twice the size Of that
provided in the bill pending before the
House Appropriations Committee. But the
Presidents budget slashed the request,
without explanation. The reduced amount
would not be suf1icient to build the main
exposition buildings called for in the COM
missions plans, but 1t would at least en-
able the commission to begin work on
various other phases of the program. A
deficiency appropriation would be neces-
sary later If the full amount is not granted
now.
Pending also is another bill giving the
commission authority to erect necessary
buildings, allocate space, accept contribu-
tions, fix admission charges and conduct
other essential activities. This measure,
too, is important, but 1t will be useless leg
islation If adequate funds are not provided
promptly for doing the tremendous job
that has to be done. The commission Is
running short of time, as 1t Is. Architects
have advised that 1t will take year to de-
sign and erect buildings after the scope of
the observance is determined-and the
scope cannot be fixed until the size of the
appropriations is known. Since the celebra-
ton is scheduled TO begin on April IS, 1850,
any serious delay in starting operations is
bound to put crinp in the plans.
Meanwhile, the reluctance OF the Navy
toevacuate Its temporary barracks in West
Potomac Park is interposing an unexpected
obstacle to the preliminary planning. I'm
less the Navy can be persuaded to move,
some site other than the former Polo Field
must be found for the exposition. II would
be too bad if these setbacks regarding
funds and site proved to be more than
temporary. There is no time to be lost in
settling these fundamental matters, for
there is an enormous amount Of organiza-
tional, promotional and construction work
to be completed in the next twelve months

tional sipnificance

Not All Wire Topping Bad

The current wire tapping scandal in New
York City has given opponents of wire
tapping in any form or for any purpose
an opportunity to renew their attacks on
the controversial practice The American
Civil Liberties Union is justified in con-
demning the sort of unauthorized political
eavesdropping which was uncovered in
Manhattan. But those who dislike wire
tapping are not justified in citing the New
York case as proof that all wire tapping
should be outlawed.
Osmond X. Fraenkel, member of the
ACLU board of directors, told New York
Bar Association committee that even wire
tapping by court order, as authorized by
New York statute, is plain violation of
Federal law He presumably referred to
the section of the Federal Communications
Act which provides that mo person, not
being authorized by the sender, shall inter-
cept and divulge or publish" any commune
cation. But several Attorneys General have
ruled that mere interception without
divulgence is not a violation and that
"divulgence" does not consist of relaying
intercepted information to another law en-
forcement officer. And the Supreme Court
has gone no further than TO interpret the
FEC provision as preventing the use of in
tercepted evidence in Federal court.
James Lawrence Fly, former ECC mem
Der and also director of the Civil Liberties
Union, suggested to the bar committee that
wire tapping might be unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court disposed of that con-
tention in the well-known Olmstead case, In
which the majority held that wire tapping
violates neither the rch-and-seizure nor
the self-incrimination safeguards Of the
Constitution. Mr.. Fly is on sound ground,
however, when he calls on New York ON
cials to take stern measures to stamp out
such abuses of wire tapping as evidently
were involved in the ill-starred attempt TO
listen in on municipal and other oficial
telephone lines. Such abuses tend to en-
phasize the dirty" aspects Of wire tapping
with which the late Justice Holmes was so
much concerned.
But wire tapping, properly controlled, is
valuable weapon against spies, saboteurs
and other major criminals, as Director
Hoover of the Federal Bureau Of Investiga-
ton and other law enforcement authorities
repeatedly have pointed out. Justice Jack
son, while serving as Attorney General,
stated the issue succinctly when he said
that wire tapping posed the problem of
attaining "a proper balance and nice ad-
tustment as between the rights of individ-
aals on the one hand and the needs and
Interests Of society on the other" Attorney
General Clark has agreed not to press for
Inclusion of wire tapping authority In the
pending espionage bill. But he would be

Where Is the Runaway Horse?

It Is difdcult to follow the reasoning be-
hind President Truman's view that favor
able congressional action on his anti-inf1a-
tionary program Is Just as necessary now
as ever. The signs Of the times argue
strongly to the contrary. Indeed, far from
indicating the approach OF q new phase
of mounting prices and wages, they point to
a continuing downward trend, and the only
question involved seems to be whether that
trend will level OF at q point of healthy
stability or whether 1t will lead to serious
economic recession.
Thus, since January, when the President
asked Congress for standby wage-stabiliz-
ing, price fixing and other powers to con-
troll imitation, the cost-of-living index has
continued to 60 down. In the month ended
February 15-the latest for which figures
are available-it staged its sharpest drop
