ECONOMY:
Over q Barrel

More than 500 national leaders,
talking of the need of economy in
operation of the federal govern
ment, may have felt themselves
more over the barrel than around
it when they met for a "cracker
barrel discussion of the problem.
1t was a real cracker barrel,
bearing the legend "citizens' COM
mittee for the Hoover report" set
up amid the handsome appoint
ments of Washington's Shoreham
hotel.
DELEGATES HEARD Herbert
Hoover, chairman of the commit
tee appointed to study means of
sire m lining the government,
praise the accomplishments of his
commission and of the committee
now seeking to get the commits
sion's proposals adopted.
After pointing out the federal
expenditure of more than 43 bill
lion dollars and a deficit of more
than five billion have been an
nounced for the current fiscal
year, he declared:
II believe it may be much great
er in the next fiscal year. We may
be turning two Frankensteins loose
in the land. Their terrifying names
are higher taxes and initiation a"
HOOVER POINTED OUT that six
months have passed since the
commission he headed finished its
reports on congress, and on eco
nomics and improvements in the
executive branch, and, in the
meantime, the Recommendation
have had magnificent support by
the press and public"
All of which was true. The rub
seemed to be in getting congress
and the President to 60 all the
way suggested by the Hoover COM
mission in effecting more govern
ment economy and efficiency.

RENT CURBS:
Home Rule Okuyed

The home rule rent control law
which allows states and cities to
decontrol their own areas - was
upheld by the U. S. supreme court
b almost record time. The courts

utter oral arguments were heard.
THE Law was enacted last sum-
mer by congress and Is due to
expire June 30, 1850. It had lost in
ID first federal court test when a
U. S. district judge declared it un-
constitutional because it delegated
powers of congress to the states
and local governing bodies.
Tighe Wood and the justice de-
partment by-passed intermediate
courts and appealed the finding di-
rectly to the high court.
While there had been no general
statements to the effect, there was
widespread impression that
many states and local areas had
withheld decontrol action because
Of the pending suit.

county area had restored rent
curbs after lifting them had re-

reasonable" rent increases.
However short private building

shortage had eased somewhat and
It appeared that congress might
find it relatively easy to abandon
all rent curbs when the present

pened in some isolated areas in

leave the way open for restoration

NJUSTiCE:
Charged to Census

Twenty-three Republican con-
gressmen wouldn't be alone in
their attack on that phase of the
1850 census which will require
every fifth person over IA years
of age to disclose all the facts
about his income.
The Republicans banded together
in blast of criticism at the CEN
sus bureaus planned procedure in
an action following attacks earlier
by Representative Brown of Ohio
and Hinshaw of California upon the
bureaus 1850 QUESTIONABLE.
THAT CRITICISM charged that
the Truman administration is
perpetrating an outrageous dis
elimination against small-income
people :"
Brown had demanded of Philip
M. Hauser, acting director of the
census, that he cite illegal author
ity" for the income questions. He
charged that such inquiries are
unlawful.
In the meantime, a spokesman
tor the census bureau told news
men that "only a few" of the citi-
zens asked the income question
are expected to object to it. He
explained that those who decline
to give the enumerator the infor-
nation personally would be per-
mitted to mail it to the bureau in
Washington.
The Republican critics view
was:
"IF A PERSON earns more than
$4,000, all he has to do is say so,
without giving the amount, and the
census taker is satisfied. But for
all people earning under $4,000,
the QUESTIONABLE stands as writ
ten .. This is a raw injustice.
AS an added basis for its posi-
ton, the census bureau stated the
figures about income will be con-
fidential, not even open to tax COL
lectors or the FBI. That being the
case, what good will the figures
do anyone and why does the CEN
sus bureau insist on having them?

BUDGET:
How Much?

While President Truman summed
himself at Key West, Fla, posing
for newsmen, busying himself
with affairs of state even though
on. vacation. American taxpayers
were particularly interested in the
visit paid him by John Snyder, Sec
rotary of the treasury.
THE REASON, of course, was
the forthcoming budget message
which the President was prepar-
ing to deliver to congress. Until
that time, no U. S. taxpayer would
know just what the administration
had in mind concerning taxes.
Everyone knew that the Presi-
dent had publicly stalled he would
need some IL billion dollars more
in revenue if the budget were to
be balanced, but everyone knew,
too, that there were many senators
and representatives who would
not 60 along with any such propo-
sal.
1t could also be regarded as
significant or not that there had
been no recent declaration from
the President concerning taxation
or any need for tax increase
WHETHER THAT MEANT the
President was prepared to recede
from his original tax proposals
was purely a matter of speculation,
but such a course was probable,
inasmuch as some of the Presi-
dents cabinet members had been
saying publicly that a reduction in
taxes, or holding them at the pres.
ent federal level would be good for
U. S. business and the nations econ
omy.
And, as a rule, cabinet members
don't comment on such controver-
sial subjects until their remarks
have been cleared previously with
the White House. Henry Wallace
didn't follow that procedure and
now he's an eX-cabinet member.

pointed up what the American pub
Lie has long dimly realized, name
ly that while we are fighting Com
munism in Europe, we are losing
out to fascism at our own front
door.
Panama, which surrounds the
most important waterway in the
world so far as the United States
is concerned, is now in the hands
of dictator, Arnulfo Arias, who
had roots in Germany and Italy
during the days of Hitler and Mus
solini. Just before Pearl Harbor,
we considered him such a menace
the United States helped to euchre
him out of the presidency.
In Colombia, country equally
vital to the strategic waterway
which links east-west shipping, the
bloodiest riots in history have been
taking place. Approximately 1000
people have been killed, and
Fascist party, deliberately aided
anu aDetteu by dictator FRANCO OF
Spain, has instituted such terror
that it was impossible to hold two

While U. S. senators have
been guzzling dictator Francois

has been pulling the rug right
out from under U. S. policy in
one of the most important
countries in the Pan-American
union.

Franco to have his shock Falange

Humans Idea

In the White House, Harry Tru-
man speaks glowingly of his visits
to Mexico and Brazil. He is also
delighted at the prospect of max
ing a trip to Chile. He considers
Pan-American relations one of his
most important policies, and if
anyone walked in and told him the
good-neighbor policy had begged
down, he just wouldn't believe it.
But the trouble with President
Truman is that he thinks of Pan
American friendship in terms of
getting out a lot of flags and the
brass bands to greet President
Dutra of Brazil. He doesn't realize
that the good-neighbor policy must
be closely coordinated and care
fully carried out every day of the
year.
Over in the state department,
meanwhile, one of the best young
men in some years, Edward Mil
Ter, is assistant secretary for Latin
America. Miller was born in Puer-
to Rico, speaks Spanish, knows
Latin America intimately, works
hard at his job.
Over in the export-import bank,
also, far more loans have been ad-
vanced in Latin America than most
people realize.
But successful good-neigh-
Dor policy isn't built up merely
by dumping money into Latin
America, or giving rousing
welcomes to visiting pan-Amer-
lean potentates.
Today we have a lot of we'll
meaning cogs in our diplomatic
machinery, but sometimes they
seem to be turning separately and
in different directions. In brief,
the gears do not mesh.
