Price Controls And War


The following excerpts from
a speech which | made on the
floor of the House last week on
this subject are reproduced in
this column, and constitute this
weeks newsletter:
Mr.. Speaker, | am sure we all
have troubled and perplexed
souls today over this momen-
tous question which we are
called on to decide. / suspect
when we search those souls. we
would find that as free Ameri-
cans living in a great democracy
we are fundamentally and bas-
ically opposed to RECOMMENDATION
such as controls bring about
Then | think we would find
when we searched a little fur
ther and read the press reports
of the boys who are dying over
there, we would feel il incum-
bent upon us as patriotic Amer
leans and liberty-loving people,
to give them every support we
have at our command.
The question seems to be
whether we are going to have
limited control bill such as has
been brought in by the Commit
tee on Banking and Currency
by the narrow margin of one
vote. or whether we are going
TO have an all-out across the
board control law.
Again, our individual souls
are going to be put to the task
of deciding, tomorrow possibly,
which horn of the dilemma we
will take.
To arrive at a proper conclu-
sion-and certainly | do not
profess to have the proper con-
clusion or analysis-I think we
must try to analyze the situa-
ton as it presents itself.
Five years ago this month,
Mr.. Speaker. a small band of us
in this House spent two weeks
in Russia during our two
months study abroad of eco
nomic and political conditions.
Some of that time was spent in
the Kremlin in conferences with
that man of mystery, Mr.. Stall
in, with Mr.. Vishinsky and Mr..
Beria, and other members of
the Politburo. We saw the regi-
mentation of those people first
hand. We came out of there
with certain conclusion
Among those conclusions | re-
call three most distinctly. We

Unfortunately, it would now
appear that our prediction
proved only too true :.
No. Mr. Speaker, it is my
thought, for whatever that is
worth, that this is not neces-
sarily the beginning of World
War III. When the Korean Incl
dent is settled, one way or the
other, then Russia will start in
another area of the globe to
bring about further confusion
with another incident, possibly
Iran, Greece, Turkey, or who
knows where? Then, when that
is settled, another incident

One cabbie, hailed by a pros

drive to a certain section Of the

mentioned, the driver with a pis-
tol at his ribs, was forced to lean
against the steering wheel while
his wallet containing $40 in cash
was taken.
The second cabbie told police

Wainwright, hero of Bataan and

retired General, who suffered tor
lures and long Imprisonment by
the japanese. brought up the sub
ject of atrocities in an interview
with the Associated Press.
II read that the North Koreans
took some of our men captive, tied
their hands behind their backs and
shot them in the face. I will say,
unequivocally, that were I COM

FORT YUKON
THREATENED,
FOREST FIRE

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 49,
R-The tiny Arctic Circle village Of
Fort Yukon, rebuilt by residents
after it was destroyed by flood two
years ago, faced a new peril today:
fire.
A radioed call for aid, received
here last night, said wind-swept
forest fire had moved within two
miles of the village, approximately
$50 miles north of Fairbanks.
Mrs. Ed Toussaint. town postmas-
ter and amateur radio operator. said
the wind had died down but that
residents feared a new blow would
send flaming firebrands cascading
down into the heart of the town.
A heavy blanket of smoke covered
the village and its adjacent landing
field. making it impossible to send
help by air.
Men of the village bulldozed a
wide path around-the town in eff
forts to halt the advancing blaze.
The village was carried down the
Yukon river by flood waters in
l948. Residents rebuilt the town last
year, moving it farther from the
river to avoid the floods.

5EATTLE'S CIVIL
DEFENSE SET AFTER
MOCK ATOM RAID

SEATTLE, July 18--iRl-Seattle
which had nearly 10000 persons
killed-theoretically-in two atom
bombings a week ago, is as well pre-
pared for such an emergency as is
possible now, Mayor William F.
Devin said today.
Devin met with governors of four
states and officials from military
and civilian agencies in Washing
ton, DC, London, England, and
Ottawa at critique of the civil
defense plan.
For an entire week these officials
will give opinions and advice on
solutions to the defense problem
which the Seattle Civil Defense
Board tackled after the mock bSmb-
ings last week.
Theoretically, two bombs were
dropped hours apart. The first ex-
ploded underwater in Elliott Bay,
fronting the city at $50 am. That
would have caused 6,610 deaths from
fatal radiation, $500 serious injuries
and 1,75O disqualification cases.
The second and more damaging,
came a little after 3 pm. 1t ex-
ploded $500 feet in the air over the
Ballard district, north of the main
business district. This was inquired
as the most deadly, killing between
$4,000 and $4,000.
1--WE take the position in Seattle
that any kind of a disaster Is a
civil responsibility" Devin said.
