asserted in a distinctly "bullish"
7.000-word message that went to
Capitol Hill along with the an
nual review of the Council of
Economic Advisers. The report
itself gave a comprehensive pic
ture of the economic set-up of all
segments of American life, which
found 58,600,000 people at work
and a $259, 900, ,000,0 production
level in 1949.
The council, operating under the
Employment Act of 1916, which
was designed to spur employment
and production, also took an
optimistic view of existing condi-
tions. with the country beating
back after last years recession.
For the near future, the eco
nonic situation is good" the
council said, while conceding at
the same time that 1--WE are still
considerable distance from maxi
mum production, employment and
purchasing power"
New Recession Unnecessary.
Explaining that there are some
who foresee a moderate business
decline in the latter part of $780,"
the council added that "this could
happen. but it is not necessary"
1t continued:
shall not be out of the
woods after our recent difficulties
until private adjustments and
public policies are successful in
raising the level of consumption,
which is not now sufficiently high
for sustained maximum produc-
ton and employment or for the
full prosperity of our business
system"
Price cuts were held out by both
the President and the council as
an important factor for stimulat-
ing business, the President seeing
''few If any major areas" where
boosts are justified.
The council report, which in
large part covered the same
ground as the President did in his
State of the Union message. was
signed by Leon Keyserling, acting
chairman, and John D. Clark, who
have made up it's membership
since former Chairman Edwin G..
Nourse resigned some time ago
as the result of differences on
policy.
The President also reiterated
his demand for enactment of the
Fair Deal program.
Favorable to Business.
The tone of both message and
report distinctly was favorable to
business, where profits last year
were off $27. 900, 100000, or about
81 per cent.
Concern was expressed over the
drop in business investment capi-
tai, President Truman declaring
that "its continued decline would
be a cause for real concern" and
barrier to prosperity.
Primarily, the President con-
tinued, financing is a job for pri-
vate capital, but the Government,
he continued, can help.
In this connection, he said,
"the tax recommendation I shall
transmit to the Congress in the
near future will. in addition to
providing some net increase in
revenue, propose certain changes
In our tax structure, which will
make it more equitable and stimu-
late business activity"
Mr.. Truman said methods to
aid the financing of small busi-
ness now are being studied, and
as a concrete proposal, he recon-

The comedian filed suit for that

Hope said the Nov. issue of the

Plagiarism. said Hopes complaint,
is practice which the entertain

Omar Bradley said today the Ko-

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff said in a speech prepared
for a meeting of the Associated
Press Managing Editors Association:
ut is a bruising and shocking
fact that when we Americans were
committed in Korea, we were left
without an adequate margin OF
military strength with which to
face an enemy at any other specific
point.
Certainly we were. left without
the strength to meet a general at
tack.
I'm the military sense, the free
world was left without adequate re-
serves except for the atom bomb"
While urging a continuing buildup
of American strength, Bradley Of
fered to trade the atom bomb Tor
"a genuine course of Righteousness
in the world" and to trade "all mill
tary power for century of peace.
But he told the 500 editors that
mo easy trades are on in the open
market and went on to say: I'VE

earnestly desire"
Bradley called anew for German

VASHINGTON-When you eat a
chicken neck from capon which
has been fed on a certain kind
of fattening hornnone, you run the
risk of becoming sterile. This is
one of the findings of the House
committee to investigate the use
of chemicals in food products,
which has been quietly probing the
effect of all sorts OF chemicals
now artificially injected into our
food.
In the case of chicken necks, 1t
was revealed that some poultry
farmers use a hormone called still
besterol to fatten chickens In a
hurry. When injected in the neck
this hormone makes an old rooster
not only fat but tender.
The effect On the human helng,
if he eats the neck, however, can
induce sterility. Congressman Ar
thur Miller of Nebraska, himself
a doctor, told the committee tnat
the mink growers of Illinois had
fed chicken and turkey heads from
poultry so treated to their MINK,
only to have them become sterile
AS a result, Canada prohibits the
use OF stilbesterol pellets in feed
ing poultry, DR.. Franklin Churcn
Bing, chairman of the chemical
committee of the American Public
Health Association told the Con-
gressmen.

TRUMAN IS
READY FOR
BIG BATTLE
Will Renew Fight for Fair
Deal" in Lame Duck
Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. IT Up -
President Truman, outwardly hap
py and scrappy, evidently was
ready today to renew battle with
the new and old Congress for his
Fair Deal" program.
On the political front, Mr.. Tru-
man discounted the election VIC
tories of Republicans, reiterated his
hacking for Secretary of State
Acheson, refused to back-track on
his controversial domestic program
and lodged questions about wheth-
er he may run again.
The president told his first post
election news conference yesterday
he expects the lame duck session
of Congress meeting Nov. q to ap-
prove an excess profits tax, another
big chunk OF military appropria-
tons, statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii and an extension of rent
controls.
Almost nobody in Congress-in-
GLIDING his own legislative lieuten-
ants-shared Mr.. Truman's optim-
SIN on this score.
The President said he was not
calling Congress back early, as he
had said he might do, because the
request for more funds to finance
the fighting in Korea and the ma
tons military buildup still is be-
ing whipped into shape.
There was every sign that Con-
gress would approve any such
measure.
But Senate. action is doubtful on
any excess profits tax bill that
might be passed in the House early
in December. Senator Taft of Ohio
who heads the Republican policy
committee, has said he doesn't be-
lieve any action will come in the
short session.
Southern Democratic delaying
tactics may crop up against House
approved bills to grant statehood
to Hawaii and Alaska. The Repub-
licans may help out on this.
Chairman Maybank (D-SC) al
ready has predicted that the Sem
ate banking committee won't act
on rent control extension in the
lame duck session. Controls are due
to expire Dec. 81 except in COM
munities which take positive action
to extend them for six months.
