BERLIN:
An Old Story

The unpredictable Soviet mind
again was indulging its tortuous
working to the discontinue of
Berlin and the western allies. In a
sort of Junior blockade" of the
former reich capital, the Russians
had for "a hours set up an agra
waiting check system which stalled
supply trucks to such an extent
that only one was allowed to pass
every Is minutes.
1T WAS EXASPERATING, it
was puzzling and it set in motion
grave fears that the Reds were
about to set up another Berlin
blockade which cost America so
much in money and equipment
when Operation Airlift" was all
that kept Berliners from starvation
and freezing.
And then, with no explanation or
apparent reason, the Russians
abandoned the Junior blockade"
as suddenly as they had imposed it.
American, British, and French
commanders of Berlin met in
emergency session and discussed
the latest Soviet marrying tactics.
This resulted in a decision to take
wait-and-see attitude.
SOME AMERICAN officers were
convinced another full-scale block
ade was coming. But the British
commander expressed a conviction
that the Russians were merely en-
gaging in a passing phase of "pin
pricks."
1t was made clear, however, that
American plans are such that in
the event a major blockade is
clamped on, another airlift opera
ton could be put into effect in
time to stave off any disastrous re-
suits to the people of Berlin.

TAXATION:
One Billion More

Just as nearly everyone expected,
Mr.. Humans tax recommended
tons were well below what he had
stated year ago he would ask for
when congress convened. The first
figure was IL billions. What Mr..
Truman asked for, instead, was one
billion.
MIR. TRUMAN'S proposal in
cluded both tax cuts and tax in
creases, but, overall, it would hike
the nations tax bill by a billion
dollars. Even so, there was no
ready assurance the President
would get that much.
That he trimmed his tax propo-
sails at all was due to mounting
sentiment within his own admins
tration ranks that appreciable tax
increases would be unwise at this
time, and that the effort should be
toward stimulating business as
much as possible, rather than re-
tard or discourage it by added tax
burdens.
THE PRESIDENT recommended
a cut In excise taxes-as it had
been generally believed he would.
These would include levies on
travel, telephone and telegraph
bills, luggage, women's pocket
books, furs, jewels, cosmetics, etc.
This would be done provided ''loop-
holes" in other taxes were closed.
Mr.. Truman also proposed a bill
lion dollar increase in the taxes on
corporations, big estates and gifts.
AZ II stood, the proposal added
up to bad news for big business,
good news for small business, and
some cheer for wage-earners.

HISS TRIAL:
Verdict & Question

The average American could net
help but discern strange and dis
turbing ramifications in the Alger
Hiss perjury trial verdict. Hiss
was found guilty on two counts,
The jury found that he had passed
secret documents to Whitaker
Chambers and that he had seen
Chambers after January l, 1887.
Hiss had denied both allegations.
In a rambling expose of what
now seems to have been juvenile
intrigue with infantile overtones
of cloak-and-dagger hue, the one
big fact that came out of the trial
is that somebody lied-somebody
lied in such colossal fashion as to
be unmatched in any recent in
stance in American jurisprudence.
CHAMBERS, former Communist
courier by his own admission, and
a former senior editor of Time
magazine, said Hiss passed the
secret state department papers to
him and that he turned them over
to the Russian. Hiss said he didn't
do any such thing.
However, the jury, as a second
trial of the case, chose to believe
Chambers and convict Hiss. Nat
urally, Hiss will appeal, but if the
verdict is upheld, he faces a pos
sible maximum sentence of 10
years Imprisonment and fines of
$4,000.
The disturbing element in the
case is how the Communists could
so pervert the Americanism of abb
normally intelligent individuals
like Hiss and Chambers, if Cham
bers' story is true, to the point
where they would actually serve
the interest of the Soviets against
the interests of their own country.
THE STRANGENESS of the case,
as many see it, are the intricacies
of U. S. law which permit an ad-
mitted Communist courier to es-
cape any sort of legal punishment
and yet permits a longtime SEN
tence and heavy fines for a de-
PENDANT accused of lying about
what it is alleged he did. Chambers
admits his acts and is never
charged in court. Hiss had to be
convicted on charges against him.
Hiss got one break-because of
statute of limitations he could
not be charged with having be-
trayed his country as spy.

that you can take the boy out of thu

country out of the boy.
1t seems Mr.. Kline went to
New York by train to appear
on a television show. But he
became so engrossed in con-
versation with fellow traveller
that the train even went
through New York city without
his knowing it, and it was we'll
on toward New Rochelle, New

that he had overshot Pennsyl-
vania station.
So he finally got off the train anc

REp0R1ER3l&
Profile Of Kline
IN WASHINGTON


ALLAN B. KLINE, president Of
"a the American Farm Bureau
Federation, has had what is known
as 'bad press" at times since he
has been in Washington heading up
this tremendously large organiza-
ton. But recently Mr.. Kline, at
press luncheon at the Statler hotel,
revealed himself as a very human
individual, very different from the
slightly pugnacious, blunt and I'M
tactful reputation he had gained
with some members of the Wash
ington press.
On this occasion he was gracious
ness itself and made an excellent
talk revealing his complete IA
miliarity and knowledge of the job
he has taken on as head of the
largest farm organization. He has
slightly curly, greying hair, is of
medium height, talks easily and
has a ready smile and is quick on
the trigger at answering questions.
And he scotched a story which has
gone round and round in Washing
ton concerning his relations with
Governor Dewey of New York and
the allegation that he was consider
ably disappointed at not becoming
secretary of agriculture under Mr..
Dewey.
"In the first place." Mr..
Kline said, 81 am the kind of
Republican who voted for Al
Smith in '28 and who voted for
Franklin d. Roosevelt in '32
and SO. In the second place,
was never in MIR. Dewey's Of
flee but one time and 1 assure
you nothing was said about my
becoming secretary of agricul-
ture. I never made a speech for
him, I never asked anybody to
vote for him, I never wrote a
letter for him. I did absolutely
nothing about his cam
paign,"
And some one chimed in "And
neither did anybody else."
"And in the third place." smil-
ingly continued Mr.. Kline, "about
half of our organization member
ship are Democrats and about half
are Republicans and the president
of the American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON cannot play politics and
hold on to his job. And I like this
job. It's simply wonderful and I
wouldn't give it up even to be Sec
rotary of Agriculture"

WAGES:
75-Cent Floor

The nations new rs cents an
hour wage law is now in effect.
That means that all workers en-
ployed in interstate commerce, or
in production of goods for inter-
state commerce, must be paid a
minimum of rs cents an hour.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN hailed
the new law as being dictated
by social justice" and a step that
will bring great and lasting ben
efits.'
Significant, however, was an al
most immediate call by certain
CLIO union leaders for effort to
boost the minimum wage to flat
dollar an hour, and broadened COW
erage under the law.
1T WAS PERHAPS with these
new union demands in mind that
President Truman said he had
asked labor secretary Tobin to
keep me informed on the opera
ton of the new law"
Most workers are now making
more than rs cents an hour. But
it has been estimated that the new
minimum will mean wage in
creases to about is million per-
sons, more than half of whom are
in the South. This is expected to
cost employers about 800 million
dollars annually.

FORkOSA:
Token Aid?

According to reliable reports,
US. State Secretary Dean Acheson
was in favor of congressional
move to send about % million dol
lars in economic aid to the Chi
nese Nationalist in Formosa.
THE QUESTION which immedi-
ately arose was: Why?
Was it another money-down-a-
rat-hole action? Another token ap-
peasement of those who were de-
manding more and actual aid to
Formosa?
Those were legitimate questions,
in any attempt to penetrate the
maze o. the intricate foreign pol
icy being practiced by the United
States. Acheson had let it be known
most clearly that he feels the Ma
tionalist cause is lost in China,
and there were many who con-
tended that it wouldn't be long
until tie state secretary advocated
US. recognition of the Chinese
Communist regime.
II those things were true, why
send % million good American dol
lars rolling helplessly into the path
of Red juggernaut already con-
coded as sure to roll over all
China?
ACHESON, it seemed to most, was
laying himself open to charges of
inconsistency, or, perhaps even
more important, willing to play
fast and loose with American mon
ey for more time to juggle his
highly involved and puzzling Dip
lomatic concepts.
At the risk of over-simplification,
It could be commended that there
was still hope to stop the Com
munist surge in China, or there
was not. If not, then there seemed
little point in wasting further us.
resources in a futile attempt other
wise. If so, then applying % mil
lion dollars to the effort would ap-
pear as simply peurile gesture.

NEWS:
No Monopoly

Since the early days when
Reuters news agency and the
Associated Press were pioneering
in the gathering and dissemination
of news, there have been frequent
legal tangles over the ownership
of news and rights Of its distribu-
ton.
NOW THAT RADIO has invaded
the news field, it was inevitable
that the same sort of argument
would arise over the ownership of
radio news and whether one sta
ton or a chain of stations can
create monopoly in broadcasting
the news.
The federal communications COM
mission ruled that such cannot be
done, and United States court of
appeals has upheld the FEC. The
court ruled that the FEC may
deny a license to radio station
applicant if it finds that approval
would tend to create a news monop-
oily.
The court said: monopoly in
the mass communication of news
and advertising is contrary to the
public interest, even if not in terms
prescribed by the antitrust laws"
THE RULING was in connection
with the case of the Mansfield
(Ohio) Journal and the Lorain
(Ohio) Journal whose applications
for radio station licenses were
turned down by the FEC. In reject
ing the applications, the commits
cion ruled the Mansfield Journal
used its position in the community
"to coerce its advertisers to enter
into exclusive advertising contracts
with the newspaper"
The commission added that since
both newspapers were owned and
controlled by Samuel A. Horvitz
and Isadore Horvitz, it took the
view that what happened in Mans
field twas indicative of what might
occur under similar circumstances
in Lorain"
In appealing to the court. the
newspapers commended the FEC had
gone outside its province and had
acted under antitrust laws.

BIG Deficit:
Some Are Worried

The two-year, 10-billion-dollar
deficit looming as inevitable for
the United States had some eco
nomic experts in a state of appre-
hension.
Among these was DR.. Edwin G.
Nourse, former chairman of the
Presidents council of economic
advisers. The deficit, DR.. Nourse
indicated, has stirred fears of in
dation and possibly a "rising un-
certainty as to the stability of the
dollar itself"
DIR. NOURSE, who recently re-
signed his Craftsmanship on the eco
nomic council, called for a "speci-
fic and hard-headed plan for get
ting back to the black ink"
He declared the federal budget
could be balanced in year or
two, but only if the government
practices economy and reduces or
defers many of President Truman's
programs "in the development and
welfare areas"
To objective observers. DR..
Nourse was another voice crying
In the wilderness-for, on the basis
OF political results in the past 16
years, practice or support of econ
omy didn't bring many votes when
the chips were down.
THE SENSATIONAL SUCCESS
Of the late Mr.. Roosevelt, also a
great spender of public money
a program which helped give him
four presidential election victories
was bound to loom as a vital les
son In practical politics.
On the record, the American
taxpayer cares less about his gov
ernment's saving money than he
does about its being spent.
