Washington (LPA) - President
Truman's "fair deal" program is
running into trouble = trouble
chiefly generated by the Chief Ex-
ecutive's own inept or conservative
assistants.
Thruout the campaign last fall
which resulted in his triumphant
reelection the President talked
about higher taxes in terms of an
excess profits tax. Everybody sup
posed he would ask Congress again
for the kind of a modified excess
profits tax he requested last year.
Corporate profits are even higher
than they were last year. If an ex-
cess profits tax was needed last
year it is double-needed this year.
On Capitol Hill the Presidents
strongest supporters were ready to
go in the fight for an excess pro-
fits tax. Rep. John d. Dingell Cd,
Mich), Rep. Herman P. Eberhart-
er ID, Pa and Sen. Joseph G..
O'Mahoney Cd, Wyo.), three of the
Presidents most powerful spokes-
men on the hill had prepared ex-
cess profits tax bills, in prepara-
tion for the Presidents message.
To their surprise, and everyone
else's, the President recommended
higher taxes, but not an excess pro-
fits tax. ! don't pretend to know
what happened to the Presidents
plan for an excess profits tax. But
Drew Pearson has publicly charg
ed that it was sabotaged by Treas
ury Secretary John Snyder, the
conservative friend Of Mr.. Tru
mans who has sabotaged so many
other liberal programs.
Drew charged Snyder had even
clamped down on his treasury tax
experts to prevent them from con-
ferring with the Presidents staff
or administration leaders on the
subject of an excess profits tax. If
this is true, it warrants a major
house-cleaning by the President
and quick.
| don't know the facts Of Drew's
charges, but | believe them because
! saw with my own eyes how
Snyder sabotaged last years ex-
cess profits tax proposal by the
President. At that time | went to
the hill to cover Snyder's opening
testimony on the bill before the
House Ways & Means Committee,
because | have always made
speciality of tax legislation. To my
amazement | found Snyder virtu
ally killing the Presidents plar
with faint praise. He did nothin
to back up the Presidents recon-
mendation, giving impetus to thc
rumors that the Presidents plal
was based on nothing but politics
Actually, the Presidents plan wa
backed by sound economic facts
and Snyder could have made {
tremendous case for it.
When the bill reached the Sen
ate, | went up again, thinking per-
haps Snyder had not made a fight
in the House because he felt it was
hopeless. But to my further amaze
ment he didn't even appear in the
Senate hearings-and let the battle
go by default. As my friends know,
it was this experience more than
anything else that convinced me
last year President Truman could
not be reelected. | felt if he
wouldn't fight for his own plans, or
make his assistants fight, he had
no chance.
Labor Press Associates and
union housing experts have helped
to expose another front on which
the President is being sabotaged
by his own misunderstanding.

Comment On
World Events

In brief general summary of a
few of the events during 194S, the
Bund Bulletin, published by the
World Coordinating Committee of
Bundist and Affiliated Jewish Or
ganizations, emphasizes that there
is no prospect of compromise with
Russia, under its present dictator
ial regime. The comment is per-
tinent right now, in view of what
appears to be a new Communist
"peace" offensive.
"The most dangerous character
istic of the year 194S," the Bund
Bulletin says, "was the steadily
growing tension between the West
and the East, an aspect of interna-
tional relations which several times
during the past IL months almost
brought mankind to the abyss of
a new war. Even though the out
break of shooting war was pre-
vented, the Cold War is continuous
ly undermining our precarious
peace.
"The events of the year 194S
make it obvious to the whole world
short of its Communist fgment
that this regrettable state of af-
fairs is caused mainly by the un-
restricted application of power
politics on the part of the Krem-
lin BOSSES"
ain 1947, and even at the be-
ginning of 1948," the bulletin con-
tinues, "there were some optimistic
people who sincerely believed that
in the countries of Eastern Europe,
the meeting ground of the Soviet
Union and many millions of neigh
boring people, a middle way be-
tween a totalitarian regime and the
democratic assurances provided in
the respective international treaties
will be worked out.
"There were even people who
dreamed that such a compromise
applied in the countries under
Russian domination will gradually
influence the course of events in
Soviet Russia proper, and will in
effect soften Bolshevik dictatorship.
1948 put an end to all these hopes
and illusions.
"The Communist upheavel in
Czechoslovakia was the most OBJ
vious point in case. The population
of Czechoslovakia, traditionally
pro- Russian, was obviously friend
ly toward the Soviet Union. The
vast majority of Czechoslovak poll
tieal parties recognized the neces-
sity of reconstructing the economy
as well as the entire life of Czech
osloyakia on socialist foundations.
Even such an assured development
toward socialism, however, did not
save Czechoslovakia's democracy
from being ruthlessly destroyed by
the country's Communists, who
were backed by the military power
of Soviet Russia"
!. \ \
In conclusion, the bulletin OBJ
serves:
"And so it became quite obvious
that no middle way was possible
under Communist domination. At
the end of 1888 the last remaining
shreds of independent Socialist
were erased in all coun-
tries behind the Iron Curtain. Peo-
pie who once loudly preached the
necessity of an Independent course
toward socialism, are now merci-
lessly purged
"All countries under Russian
now become more and
more like a typical Russian pro-
vince and are now almost ripe to
the number of allegedly
Soviet republics un-
der Stalin's rule. In this respect at
least the passing year did not
leave any illusions as to the newt
able line of development in all un-
happy countries that came under
Soviet control"

MRS. Per|e Mesta
Confirmed as Envoy
To Luxembourg
BY the Associated Press

Mrs. Perle MeSta. who has a
talent for giving parties-and
raising political campaign funds
has been confirmed as Minister to
Luxembourg.
The Senate approved President
T'ruman's appointment of the
wealthy widow yesterday despite
the objections of Senator Donnell,
Republican. of Missouri. She is
an old friend of the Trumans.
Senator Donnell, who said he
knew of Mrs. Mesta's fame as a
Washington hostess only by hear
say, protested that the appoint
ment was step backward in the
attempt to keep career men in
diplomatic spots.
He was drowned out by other
Senators whose praise for the
nominee was as lavish as her
parties. After more than an
hours spirited debate. they shout
ed a laundering voice vote of
confirmation. Senator Donnell's
mo" was the only one heard.
Qualifications Questioned.
Senator Donnell. in his remarks
before the vote, wanted to know
what actual Investigations had
been made of her qualifications,
education, training and experience.
What schools had she attended,
he asked Senator Green, Demo-
crat, of Rhode Island, and in what
subjects had she specialized?
Senator Green, who will be 80
in October, replied. Il did not
know Mrs. Mesta at that time"
(She is in her 60s).
Senator Donnell then questioned
Senator McGrath, Democrat. of
Rhode Island, also one of her
sponsors and chairman of the
Democratic National Committee.
Was it true, he asked, that
Mrs. Mesta helped President Tru-
man Ito purge Roger c. Slaughter"
by generous contributions? Mr..
Slaughter was a Missouri Demo-
cratic Congressman defeated
after Mr.. Truman opposed his
nomination.
Senator McGrath replied that
he did not know. that he was not
national chairman then.
But he assured Senator Donnell
that Mrs. Mestas contributions
have been extraordinary and
magnificent"
Senator Donnell wanted the
amounts "in dollars and cents"
Senator McGrath said he did
not keep track of such things but
added with a smile that they were
lin excess of $1,000"
He did credit Mrs. Mesta with |
collecting lin the neighborhood of
100000" through the Democrats
national Jackson-Jefferson Day
dinners.
Senator Tobey rushed to the aid
of Mrs. Mesta with a pun. He
said it was gem of an appoint
fnent. for is not the lady 'Perle'
in reality?" And as other Sem
ators chuckled he added:
"She has been host at many
banquets from which Senators
have come very full of the. good
products of the fields and vine
yards of mirth and merriment."
Finally veteran Senator Con-

Luxembourg is what Is called
a grand duchy," Senator Connally
said. "Its ruler is a grand
duchess, female-woman, if you
please. Would it be so much out
of harmony with the concept of
women in government if we
should send a minister to the
grand duchy who was also a
woman?"
Senator Connally said apparent
ly Senator Donnell wants man

hat, perhaps"

Union Furniture
Hotpoint Dealer

The Union Furniture and APP
pliance Store in Marysville has
been made the headquarters for
the l949 line of Hotpoint kitchen
and home laundry appliances in
this area.
Milton Cooper, manager of the
Union Furniture and Appliance
Store, said that his store now has
complete line of Hotpoint APP
pliances, Incorporating every
known labor saving device for the
modern home. The Hotpoint line
includes electric ranges, refriger-
ators, automatic dish washers,
water heaters, an electric waste
disposal unit, washing machines,
ironers, tumbler type dryers, and
freezers.
According to Mr. Cooper, all of
the products have been designed
to conform to individual plans
for all-electric kitchens and home
laundries. Because the appliances
are matched" they can be fitted
compactly together, providing
maximum utility in a minimum
amount of kitchen space. Hot
point has made available guides
and instructions for the layout of
an efficient all electric kitchen
or home laundry.
Typical of the new products
embodying advanced features is
the tWo-zone combination refrig-
orator freezer, which provides
the home-maker with high hu-
midity refrigeration and a So
pound home freezer with eight
cubic feet capacity. This new
model occupies no more kitchen
space than the former six cubic
foot models and eliminates the
need for a separate bulky freezer
in the kitchen.
Hotpoint ranges, Mr., Cooper
said, provide means of turning
out professionally cooked meals
with a minimum amount of at
tention, since the range is equip
ped with automatic controls and
special high efficiency heat units.
