US. ECONOMY:
Truman Comedies

While there was some measure
of contradiction in concept, Presi-
dent Truman, in his message to
congress on the economic state Of
the nation had conceded that re-
cession forces were alive.
However, in a neat bit of lingu-
istic maneuvering, he declared
the current situation one in which
the national economy was in order
ly retreat from a serious initiation.
At the same time, however para
doxical the warning might seem,
he declared that there could be
no "greater economic folly" than
an attempt to balance the federal
budget in a declining national
economy"
He highlighted the contradiction
by adding that such a move would
only ~aggravate tn recession
forces against which his new pol
icy was directed.
OF CHIEF INTEREST in his re-
port was his abandonment of an
earlier plan to demand four bill
lion dollars in additional taxes.
He lightly dismissed this former
policy with the statement: mo
major increase in taxes should be
undertaken at this time" Instead,
he proposed liberalization of al
lowances for past losses in COM
putting income taxes and increasing
estate and gift taxes.
The Presidents obvious reversal
of policy was held to be little less
pronounced than the findings of
his council of economic advisors
on whose report the Presidents
message was based. They found
that since January the forces
threatening stability had become
predominantly deflationary n
that the weakening of markets had
become general.

MONOPOLY:
Clark Aqituted

While President Truman was de.
lighting business generally with
his abandonment of any tax-in-
crease proposals, us. Attorney
General Tom Clark was agitated
over the growth of big" business
and urging curbs on "concentra-
ton of economic power"
CLARK APPEARED very much
disturbed by the situation and let
go both barrels in his shots at big
business as he testified in a con-
gresional investigation into mo-
nopolistic practices.
He termed business monopoly an
economic blackjack" and urged
that the federal government get
busy doing something about it. He
told a house judiciary subcommit-
tee that most people were victims
of three erroneous assumptions. He
listed them as:
1. Assumption that competition
continues to thrive as long as there
are at least two or three or four
in the field.
2. Assumption that the bigger
the producer the better the quality
Of the goods and the cheaper the
price to the public.
3. Assumption that companies be-
come big because they deserve to
be big-in other words, that they
outdistance their competitors be-
cause they do a better job, render
a greater service. or furnish bet
ter goods.
CLARK DECLARED he did not
share any of these assumptions.
Continuing his testimony before
the committee, he said:
The fundamental issue is
whether the economy of this country
is to remain free and competitive,
or whether it is to be subjected to
private RECOMMENDATION through mo-
uopoly control"

KRUG::
A Denial

Drew Pearson was in hot water
again. Generally accused of partial
responsibility in the suicidal death
of former defense secretary James
F%orrestal, the newspaper and radio
columnist had reported the U. S.
interior secretary Krug was very
i'll with athletes heart"
In a letter to Pearson. Krug's
physician, DR.. R. Lyman Sexton,
asserted Krug is completely well
and able to do twice the work of
the average person.
Wherever one stood on the pro-
priety of Pearson's discussion of

several of his reports on the condi-
ton of ForrestaI's health-origin-
ally denied by the navy-were later

PEACE PACT:
Avenue TO Wur?

AS he did in the Taft-Hartley
repeal fight, Sen. Robert Taft
(R., Ohio would lead the opposi-
ton to senate ratification of the
Atlantic pact. That is the treaty in
which America joins its western
allies in an agreement that an
attack on any signatory is an at
tack upon all-and that a signatory
nation may take any reprisal steps
it deems fit.
IN HIS SPEECH to the senate,
Taft declared the pact was lin
extricably linked" to the rearming
of Europe, insisted this would lead
to an armament race and pointed
out that armament races lead to
war"
Thus did a highly effective SEN
ator most coherently raise the
question of whether the pact really
means peace or war. Taft was
not without support in his concep-
ton of the pact's po~tentialities.
Five senators jumped to their feet
to applaud his remarks, and some
IL or IS senators were applauding
at the end.
This was construed by some OBJ
servers as indicating the extent
of the opposition.
Taft was not wholly against the
pact, despite his ringing denuncia-
ton. He asserted that. ever now,
he would be willing to change his
mind if a reservation could be in
c~orporated into ratification making
plain that the treaty did not bind
America to furnish arms.
Said Taft: There is no question
that the arms program and the
treaty were negotiated together.
There is no question in my mind
that foreign nations which signed
the treaty regarded the providing
of arms as an essential part of it
if we ratify the pact and fail
to furnish the military aid, I be-
lieve we will at once be accused
of reputation, and the pact will be
completely discredited."

ERP FUNDS:
Slash Voted

There appeared to be a change
of sentiment regarding aid to
Marshall plan countries. The SEN
ate appropriations committee had
voted to slash 10 per cent from Sec
ond-year funds asked for the ac-
tivity.
The committee also tied up so
million dollars of what was left
in order to cut Spain in on the
European recovery program should
the administration see fit. The
program would get something more
than 3.75 billions. President Tru-
man had asked approximately 4.20
billions. A committee member dis
closed that n group within the
membership had attempted to
chop 10 per cent off the requested
appropriation.
Chairman Mcclellan 3D., Tenn
estimated that the committee cut
approximately 749 million dollars
from President Truman's budget
estimates for actual appropriations
in foreign spending, which includes
other programs besides the Mar
shall plan. On
The sum voted for the Marshall
plan would be spread over the IL
months ending June 30. 1850. This
was nearly 210 million more than
the house had vOted-but the house
bill would have permitted eXpendi-
ture of the fund in 1912 months if
necessary.
A committee aide explained to
Washington newsmen that unless
the loan is made to Spain, the
withheld so million dollars could
not be used for any other purpose.

could be expected to hold firm in
any demands made for wage in
a or social benefits.
BRUSHING aside token opposi-
ton from JAWS left wing ele-
ments, Reuther was elected to a
third term as JAW president by a
top-heavy majority.
The voting which reelected
Reuther was a new triumph for the
right-wing forces in the union
which catapulted him into office
in 1916 and rewarded him with con-
troll of the other international Of
fees and the board at the 1947 con-
vention. His new term will expire
in April, 1851.
UAW DELEGATES moved into
the election of top officers after
hearing Leon Keyserling, of Presi-
dent Truman's council of economic
advisers, tell them that "as a gen.
eral proposition the kind of wage
policy which will help maintain
full employment in this country,
and which will maintain our econ
omy on stable levels is n which

THE LOVE LIFE OF COMRADE K
Continued from page sesen

An unclear thought flashed in
Kotikov's head and, looking over
his companion suspiciously, he
asked: But doesn't this friend
of yours live somewhere now?
You could marry her and move
in. -
Eyes, she lives somewhere -
in a room divided by sheets; and
on the other side is her former
husband. Do you think that he
will make a pleasant neighbour"
korIKov's suspicious trans
formed themselves into certain
ties. Looking at the young man
with detestation he said:
well, l think that you prob
ably have to 60 straight ahead. l
turn off here"
Upon his return home he
thought over this meeting for
long time and tried to decide
whether or not to tell his wife
about it. But something told
him to keep to himself the secret
of his meeting with the young
Don Juan.
The next week was full of &C
tivity for Kotikov.
In the first place he received
the courts decision in regard to
his divorce.
In the second place, he found a
room.
In the third place he became
convinced that Liza had decided
to avoid his advances completely.
In the fourth place he noticed
that his ex-wife was always in a
good mood.
korIKov became very secretive
and didn't even tell Liza that he
had found a room. Nor did he
tell his wife about it when he ran
into her in the kitchen Friday
evening. His wife was singing
something softly under her
breath and smiling at her own
thought. Later in the evening
she came into his half of the
room Unexpectedly and said:
And so. my dear, we are free.
would like to part as friends
when you find me a room. We
didn't live so badly. But our di-
vorce doesn't make me the least
bit sad. Would you like to
arrange farewell date to 60 to
the theater tomorrow? I'm free"
"All right" said Kotikov,
studying his wife with surprise.
with pleasure.
Should I tell her I've found a
