President Truman
Predicts Democrat
Landslide Nov. 7

Washington (LPA)-There will
be a lot of surprised Republican:
this fall, just like there were il
1948, President Truman told his
news conference Oct. 19. Truman
predicted a Democratic landslide
that will upset forecasts about Re-
publican gains in the House anc
Senate.
Charges by Sen. Pat McCarrar
that the Administration is trying tC
discredit McCarran's anti-Commun-
ist law were denied by Truman
Calling it the pro-Communist bill
he, said it was discredited in Con-
gress, and he's merely enforcing il
to the letter.
Sen. Edward Martin Or, Pa.)
was very much mistaken when ne
accused the Administration of de-
laying price and wage controls for
political reasons, Truman said.
Every effort is being made to do
these things as fast as possible, ne
indicated, but since man has to
face character assassination to fill
a government job these days, it's
hard to get the right people.
Administration policy on For
mosa was settled a month or five
weeks before his Wake Island con-
ference with Gen. Macarthur, the
President said. He berated the
newsmen for not understanding the
ideas of two intellectually honest
men when they meet. Macarthur is
loyal to his government and his
governments foreign policy, he
said.
The Defense Department is
working on a policy for men in the
reserves, Truman said, and ex-
pressed hope that an equitable and
fair arrangement will be announced
for them soon. Sarcastically COM
menting on the patriotism of en-
ployers who have fired reservists
because they are on military call,
the President Expressed the opin-
ion that such men should have
priorities ON their jobs.
Proposals by Southern Congress
men that the Administration relax
its new export quotas on cotton,
were opposed by Truman on the
ground that we need the cotton
here at home.
The President said he was sorry
that the letter from COP Senator
ial Candidate Joe K. Hanley, re-
vealing the deal with Governor
Dewey, had to come out in public.
He said he was sorry to read such
a letter, but added that he didn't
think it would hurt the Democrats.
Political strategists have been pre-
dieting that exposure of the
Dewey Hanley deal will help swing
the elections to the Democrats.
He expressed hope that Sen.
Francis J. Meyers will be reflect
ed in Pennsylvania, and revealed
that he himself will go home to
Missouri to vote in the elections
there.

SNARE IN DEFENSE LAW MAKES
FOOD PRICE CONTROL USELESS

Cincinnati (LPA)-Food ration
ing is unnecessary and food price
control impossible, at present
Agriculture S ecretary Charles
Brannan indicated Oct. IL.
Addressing the annual convention
of the Natl Association of Food
Chains, Brannan said that "the ma
tion's superb food production rules
out any need at this time fer a
system of food controls" With
good crop weather, supplies will be
plentiful, he assured his listeners,
"The prospect of abundant food
stands out as one of our major
sources of strength" he said.
Under the Defense Production
Act, price ceilings on food cannot
be lower than parity. Following
this rule, Brannan pointed out, "if
going food prices were replaced
by the lowest ceiling possible under
the law, the cost of living would
rise rather than fall"
He predicted that food prices
will continue to go up, but "the
rise will be held to moderate size
by the ample supplies of food on
hand, and by the equal real fact
that meat prices are going down" +"
The Agriculture Secretary warn
ed the industry men against rails
ing prices ito get set for controls
with a ceiling with comfortable
headroom." That, he said, would be
"the height of folly"
There wasn't much movement on
the food price front last week.
Coffee companies cut their whole
sale prices an average of two cents
a pound, and whipped up a lot of
publicity on the move.
In st. Louis, Coca-Cola and Royal
Crown Cola cancelled plans to
raise bottled soda pop from $50
to $1.40 a case. The plan was to
jump the retail price from five
cents to ten cents bottle. No rea-
son was given for the change in
plans.
In New Jersey, milk was raised
a cent a quart, bringing the price
for home delivery to 2512 cents.
Meat prices were down four to five
cents a pound in the New York
area.
The citrus fruit industry predict
ed lower prices on canned and
frozen orange and grapefruit jucies
this winter than last.
The wholesale food price index
compiled by Dun & Bradstreet,
for the week ended Oct. II was

Coast Guard Given
Full Authority
lon Waterfront

Washington (LPA)-Under the
new waterfront regulations issued
by President Truman an American
merchant seaman can be kept off
an American ship if the Coast
Guard thinks his character and
habits of life" make him a bad Sc
curity risk. The Presidential orders
were issued under a law passed by
Congress last summer.
Maritime unions were not expect
ed to like the regulations. The
unions always have bitterly oppos-
ed any enlargement of the Coast
Guards authority over merchant
shipping because they've felt that
Coast Guard officers were basical-
ly anti-labor. The recent revelations
before the Senate Subcommittee on
Labor Management Relations by
the Seafarers International Union
AFL that ex-Coast Guard officers
ran labor-spy ring on the tankers
of the Cities Service Oil Co. rein
forced the union belief. However,
the unions were expected to COM
ply since they were assured rep
resentation on appeals boards.
The Presidential orders are de-
signed to secure American ports
against sneak atomic assaults or
subversive activities. Under the
regulations, the Coast Guard is
empowered to search persons,
ships, and waterfront facilities; in
sist that waterfront personnel
carry port security cards; control
the handling of explosives. Violat-
ors of the regulations will be liable
to $4,000 fines and Imprisonment
up to 10 years.
In addition, the Coast Guard is
empowered to prevent anybody or
anything from being put on a ship
or entering any waterfront install
lation; put guards on ships; search
ships or facilities and eject any
one considered undesirable; take
possession of any ship in US ter
ritorial waters.

Factory Worker
Gets Highest Pay
And Bigger Bills

Washington (LPA)-The aver
age factory worker received the
biggest pay check of his life during
September but he still wasn't
having any trouble earring home
the things he could buy with it al
the corner store.
A food price index of 2O7.3 per
cent dimmed the CLEAN in the eyes
of the nations 12,900,000 produc-
ton workers as they picked ur
average checks of $60.53 week, $G
over last falls average. That
gleam was due to grow even duller
this month when Uncle. Sam start
ed putting another bite on their
take-home pay and tagging retail
prices caught up to hypoed whole
sale prices.
Wage increases won by unions
helped boost the average, accord
ing to the US Bureau of Labor
Statistics, but more overtime and
the hiring of 100000 in the higher
paying metal industries since the
outbreak of the Korean war have
also helped. Durable goods workers
made 5000 or SIC over August,
due to raises in stone, clay and
glass products, metals, machinery
and transportation equipment.
Seasonal cutbacks in tobacco, ap-
parel, paper, and other soft goods
industries dropped the average
workers wage from $55.65 in Aug
ust to $65.42 in September. Slight
wage gains offset the lowered
workweek.

Unions Publish
Their Own Paper
Throughout Strike

Pittsburgh UPA)-Conferences
with city and federal officials have
failed to unsnarl the strike and
lockout situation on three daily
papers here.
Meanwhile, in an unprecedented
move, ten CIO and AFL unions are
publishing their own paper, the
Pittsburgh Daily Reporter, which
is now the only daily newspaper in
town. Union members say they will
halt publication when the lockout
ends.
On October /, the Post Gazette,
Sun-T egrap h, and Pittsburgh
Press closed down after the mail
ers' union walked out in support Of
wage demands. More than 5000
members of other unions were laid
off, without warning and without
pay.
Pittsburghers were wi h ou
papers for two weeks. Out of town
papers are harder to get than Gig
arettes were during the war, be-
cause the out of town publishers
are not sending in any extra copies.
The Daily Reporter hit the stands
Oct. Is and has been sold out with
in Is minutes each day 100000
copies day..
After the papers SMUT down, the
mailers' charter was revoked by
Int'l Typographical UnionAFL.
They are now out, they say, as in
dividuals, but are willing to meet
with anyone at any time in an eff
fort to settle the dispute.
When the lockout was II days
old, Pittsburgh's Mayor David l..
Lawrence and County Commission
Chairman John j. Kane met with
the publishers and with represent
atives of all. the unions in an effort
to bring about settlement. No re-
suits were noticeable. US conciliat-
ors also failed to make headway.
American Newspaper Guild is
the guiding light in the Daily Re-
porter venture, although some of
the newsmen participating work on
the Press (Scripps-Howard) where
there isn't Guild unit. The other
unions cooperating are the Stereo-
typers, Printing Pressmen, Int'l
Typographical Union, Pittsburgh
Paper Handlers, photo-Engravers,
Mailers Union, Teamsters Union,
Pittsburgh Newspaper Alliance,
and Building Service Union.
The Reporter is not a labor
paper. 1t is community news
paper, concentrating on local news,
but also carrying national and in
ternational news. Because of the
newsprint shortage it is limited to
eight pages, and carries only two
pages of advertising. 1t is a nom
profit venture, and is being sold
only on newstands, not by sub
scription.

described the newspaper project as
the greatest demonstration of labor
unity the Guild has ever seen.

"will be enriched by the lessons of
this cooperative undertaking."
Guild members are receiving
lockout benefits, and workers on
the Pittsburgh Courier, not in
volved in the dispute, have pledged
five percent of their paychecks.

Unions Ldunch Counter
Attuck On ANA Drive

New York (LPA)-Two unions
have launched a nationwide count
er-attack against the American
Medical Association. The two are
the United Steelworkers and the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers.
The two unions have bought adj
vertising space in newspapers
across the country to answer the
ANA attack on the national health
insurance program advocated by
the Truman Administration. The
ANA has spent S1,100,000 this
month in newspaper advertising
and radio, attacking the national
health insurance program as $50
cialized medicine, and pushing the
slogan "The Voluntary Way is the
American Way" Drug manufactur-
ers and others have spent sum
estimated at S19,000,000 in tie-in
advertising.
The unions advertisements point
out that at one time or another,
the ANA fought federal aid to
States which would have reduced
in FAINT and maternity deaths
fought against the reporting of
tuberculosis, the first step in TB
control; opposed venereal disease
clinics; still opposes free diagnostic
centers for TB and cancer; opposed
workm e ms compensation laws,
group medicine practise, and, in
the last session of Congress, block
ed federal aid to medical schools.
In the same session, the unions
declared the ANA lobby killed off
insurance benefits for persons per-
manently disabled before the usual
retirement age, fought the entire
social security bill, blocked federal
aid to school health service, and
blocked legislation to provide medi-
cal care for soldiers dependents.
Declaring that voluntary health
insurance, now belatedly advocated
by the American Medical Associa-
tion, costs to much and does not go
far enough because it will meet
only 36 percent of the average
family's medical bill, the two
unions urged passage Of the Ma
tional Health Insurance and Public
Health Act because it offers the
most comprehensive medical COW
erage.
The measure, the unions point
out, would train more doctors and
other essential medical personnel;
advance medical research i'm dia-
betes, arthritis and other ailments;
expand hospital building programs;
help rural and other shortage
areas and assist farmers expert
mental health cooperatives; expand
State and local public health ser
vices; increase State maternal,
child health and crippled children's
services, and establish a national
health insurance fund to cover
patients medical bills.
"A National Health Insurance
Fund.-" the unions declared, "built
up through payroll contributions byl
employe and employer, will spread
and space the costs, pay for medi-
cal care out of earnings. That is not
charity. 1t is not socialism. 1t is
insurance"
Jerry Voorhis, secretary of the
Cooperative Health Federation of
America, federation of voluntary
consumer-sponsored group health
plans, said ANA appears to fav-
or voluntary action only when
ANA controls the action"
Such doctor-controlled plans, he i

WASHINGTON U WINS GREW RACE
 WITH WISCONSIN

SEATTLE, May 29-H-They had to look in the rule book to decide who won the Washington-W Wisconsin varsity crew race Saturday after coaches of both schools called the race off after the first mile. The winner: Washington.
 Wisconsin Coach Norm Sonju halted his crew when the struggling oarsmen were so badly swamped by rough water that they couldn't clear the water with their back stroke.
 Washington, five lengths out in front, was slowed to a deliberate 28-stroke when the Badgers quit and finished the two-mile race in the slow time of 12 minutes 36 sec onds. Wisconsin was about three minutes back.
 Both Sonju and Washington Coach Al Ulbrickson considered the race mo contest" for more than an hour. But Referee Ed Taylor ruled that Washington was the winner.
