Presidential Pique

President Truman's pique and an economists desire to throw off his new deal iaDei are back of the ad- ministration's tragic failure to clamp on price controls six months ago.
 This never-told story starts last year when the elder statesman, Bernard Baruch, publicly came out for price controls.
 Real truth was that the White House and National Security Re- sources Board were at that very time toying with the same idea. But when MT Truman heard that the white-haired New York financier was for price controls, he reversed himself. The President had put Baruch on his SOB. list" when Bernie refused to serve on a Dem- ocratic committee in the 1948 elec- tions, and Truman didn't want to be in the position of coming out for price controls just after Baruch did
 Another factor was the strong opposition to controls by Leon Keyserling, then acting chairman of the Council of Economic Advi- sers. Keyserling, a former depart ment of agriculture economist and assistant to Senator Bob Wagner, was being attacked by right wingers on Capitol Hill as a wild-eyed radical.
 Keyserling, an able economist but subject to human ambitions, wanted to be named chairman of the council and gain acceptance ] as a middle of -the-road adviser. 1 And at that time he told both the President and Stuart Symington chairman of the Resources board I that controls were unavoidable. ,

Cattle-Feed Shortage

Secretary of Agriculture Charles Grammar had been at daggers' points over government farm poli- cies for some time with the man he fired last week, Ralph Trigg, chief of Production and Marketing
 Main reason the aX fell was that the production of certain vital farm crops-chiefly cattle feed-is desperately behind our defense goals.
 About 127,O00,O00 tons of grain will be needed to feed our greatly expanded population of beef cattle and hogs this year. However, far mers have planted or scheduled for planting only enough acres to pro- duce 117,000,o00 tons of feed grain
 Corn will be about 5,00O,000 acres short of the 90,000, ,000-acre produc- tion goal fixed by Brannan-whicf Trigg was supposed to deliver Paintings of barley are 1,600,00( acres behind schedule and sorghum grain about 5oO00o acres short.
 At the same time we have 4,000- GOO more beef cattle and over 5,000,- 900 more hogs to feed this year than in 1850. The pinch may moi be felt this year because of feed grain reserves. However, with thest reserves exhausted, we will face { serious cutback in cattle production for defense needs-therefore mea' shortage-in 1852.
 Manpower shortage on the 1arm is one reason-perhaps the chic one the failure to divert mor' grassi 10 planting feed grain Knowing ,.-.t their sons ane younger hired hands would b' drafted, farmers have held bacl from planting too much corn which takes lot of labor to har vest. However, Trigg did little abou importing labor from Mexico anf elsewhere to fill the gap.
 Note-while we have been sui fering from a farm-lahor shortage British troops have had to put dowi riots in the British West Indie because of unemployment.

rest of the booklet is appeal to statesde voters to urge passage of statehood legislation in the 82nd Congress.
 Wide circulation is of paramount importance in such political appeals the Statehood Committee wisely had ten thousand copies printed for dstribu- ton.
 Pages five through nine consist of a letter ad- dressed to the members of the Alaska Legislature and describe with becoming modesty, the efforts of the Committee to push passage of HR 33l in the olst Congress; the enlistment of national organizations and pressure groups in support of the Statehood movement; sadly the death of HR s31 in the United States Senate and, hopefully the introduction of new statehood bill in the 82nd Congress CHR 1493). These pages the only part of the entire book '44 nages) addressed even nominally, to Alaskans.
 The balance of the report is bare-faced pro- paganda designed to promote the passage of favorable statehood legislation in the Congress of the Unteo States.
 Page II is devoted to description of the dis advantages suffered by Alaska through its status as Territory Another page attempts to show how the entire nation would benefit by Alaskas admission to the Union state.
 The National Statehood Committee is, of course, listed = under the heading National Leaders Help four solid pages of names of well known people from thirty-sx states and the District of Columbia. This list includes authors attorneys, actors poi- tcians professors and clubwomen, but there isn't an Alaskan in the lot!
 The results of two Gallup polls are recorded-put no mention made of the referendum showing Ill Alaska in 1946, results of which were described as overwhelmingly in favor of statehood" The over whelming" vote was 586 per cent for and 4l1s per cent against although the Committee has not men, toned it recently
 list of Governors shows that state chief execu- lives favor statehood for Alaska unanimously.
 Three pages comprise a list of newspapers salo bv the authors of report" to be urging edoraly that Alaska be admitted to the Union. It IS inter- esting to note that not single Alaskan paper IS represented not the two whose publishers grace the Statehood Committee
 The report" continues explaining that to be enacted statehood legislation must clear the Senate Interior and Insuar Affairs Committee and the House Public Lands Committee, after which it must be ap- proved in both houses by roll call vote Included arc lists of the members of both of the above men, tioned committees showing their party affiliations
 The report" goes with an eight-page list of all the members of the 82nd Congress, followed by nea to the reader to write his or her Congressman asking that he take affirmative action on statehood legislation.
 The hook concludes with description Of some of the provisions of 493, listing of the members of the Alaska Statehood Committee and almost as all afterthought, financial statement.
 We hope that all of our readers Will nave the opportunity to read the report in it's entirety Aler all they paid the bill = and there should be enough copies to go around.

amazing, and he seems completely on the ball. Furthermore, Marshall has put the old uniform aside and is trying to run the defense de- partment as a civilian. This writer had some skepticism about this phase of Marshall's new job when first appointed Secretary of De- fense, but the skepticism appears not to have been justified.
