heads. When it comes to sens
ing political winds, the South
erners have few equals and no

Nothing very overt is going to
happen. The well-known water
will flow under the bridge in
large quantities in times like
this before the national con-
vention convenes. But the
absence of the usual stumbling
blocks is noticeable.
This Is a far cry from 1949,
when a frown from Mr.. Tru-
mans national chairman, Will

sipated a New York dinner
being planned by the admirers
Of the then Secretary of De-
fense Louis johnson.
Another casualty of the al
tered situation Is the view that
the President might not run
but would try to name as his
successor his Chief Justice. Fred
Vinson, who is as popular as
ever personally but he has not
been brought into the pre-
paredness picture and he has
seemed more and more to be
settling into the Supreme Court
groove. With very real COM

India, but the country lacks
means to process this vital stra-
tegic material.
All efforts by American in
dustrialists to obtain the State
Departments assistance in in
ducing the Indian government
to soften this unexplainable en-
barge have been without avail.
Industry representatives were
told that we cannot allow our
selves to exercise any influence
on a free government. Such
action would smack Of colonial
ism and would affect adversely
our policies in the Far East.
Thorium Is used for other
things than atomic energy, how
ever. Among the practical ap-
plications for daily use is the
manufacture of incandescent
mantles for gas lights. Since
India cannot extract thorium
from the sands, 1t supplies
American plants with the
amount they need to make gas
mantles for India.
In 1948 the American manu-
facturers imposed their own en-
barge on India and refused to
export the thorium products to
India. The New Delhi govern
ment complained to the State
Department that the action of
the American manufacturers
would plunge India into dark
ness. The State Department
contracted the industrialists and
limited very strongly that unless
the export Of the thorium prod
uct was resumed, reprisals would
be taken. Since the "fnanufac-
turers deal principally with the
government, they accepted the
state Departments strong
hints" and resumed exports
to India.

He Who Runs May Read, BUT
Senate Discussion Reveals That Understanding
Treosury-Reserve Boord Row Is Something Else
Lowell MeHett::

One Of the bitterest battles
this town has enjoyed in a long
time is the controversy between
the Treasury Department and
the Federal Reserve Board.
What these two big boys are
fighting about isn't easy to
understand, but one thing is
clear, they are really mad. The
President appears to be caught
in the middle, although he has
at least one foot planted in the
Treasury camp. It may be his
purpose, or his hope. to plant
the other in the Federal Reserve
Board, but he hasn't yet sue
ceeded in doing it and is left
standing on one leg, so to speak.
Two Democratic Senators
undertook to elucidate the issue
the other day. One was Paul
Douglas Of Illinois. a former
professor Of economics. The
other was Joe O'Mahoney Of
Wyoming. rated an expert in the
same field, although never a
professor. They found them
selves as thoroughly In disagree
ment as the Treasury and the
Reserve Board. Some excerpts
from their remarks will illus
trate:
Senator o'Mahoney: Let me
say that it is my conviction that
the records show that the policy
advocated by the Federal Re-
serve Board does not have the
effect Of reducing prices In any
material degree The great
imitation we suffered was due
to causes altogether apart from
the basic point in this con-
troversy."
Senator Douglas: ". the
primary reason for the large
increase in prices since June
has been the expansionist credit
policies which have been carried
through by the Federal Reserve
System under the stimulus of
the Treasury"
Senator O'Mahoney: ". to
my mind the records of the past
show that a runaway imitation
Is not stopped by the cost of
credit. During 1929 when we
were suffering from a runaway
imitation, call money on the
stock market reached an inter-
est rate as high as II to 20 per
cent. Yields on Government
bonds were as much as S or 51z
per cent"
Senator Douglas: %. what
think the Reserve Board should
do is restrict the supply of
credit at its source and I hope
to demonstrate that this cannot
be done so long as the Reserve
Board is compelled by the
Treasury to purchase every
Government bond or any Gov
ernment security that comes its
way"

ment Of the United States. All
Government employees nova
days, in order to hold their jobs.
and applicants, in order to get
jobs, must sign pledge that
they are not members of any
organization which believes in
the right to strike against the
Government. But the labor
members of the Wage Stabiliza-
tion Board are not salaried per-
sonnel and hence technically
they are not violating any rule
of the Government itself.
The fact remains, however,
that the spirit of public service
today requires that there should
be no strike technique used
against the Government. Pre-
sumably the three labor men,.
bers feel they are acting as in
dividuals who have merely re-
fused to serve. This is their
legal right. But what shall be
said of the United Labor Policy
Committee which consists of the
heads of the CIO and the AFL
and the railroad unions and the
maeininists and which has just
instructed the three members of
the Wage Sterilization Board
not to return to the posts they
left several days ago? 1t doesn't
look like individual action. It's
a concerted strike against the
Government.
Does this mean that the Labor
Policy Committee reserves the
right to pull out hereafter any
labor representatives serving on
any board whenever the deci-
sions happen to be unfavorable
to the labor viewpoint? Can
there ever be any impartial de-
cisions If the three public MEM
bers are not to be permitted to
function because the labor men,
bers absent themselves or re-
sign?

three public members, though at
times a member from either
management group or the labor
group. would join to make ma
jority decision.
Plainly, if union labor does not
wish to cooperate in helping
the Government to stabilize
wage rates. the President will
have to put all the power in the
hands of a single board with
members representing the pub
lie and eliminating both man
agement and labor representa-
tives. There is much to be said
in favor of such an arrange
ment, but it certainly is dis
heartening to see the change
made under such coercive in
fluences as are being manifested
now.
Justice wouldn't last long in
America if, whenever a decision
of the majority were disliked by
the minority. the latter resigned
and wouldn't play. Individuals
often differ on controversial
questions and sometimes a resig-
nation from a board comes as a
result of a long series of dis
agreements.
But this detection has oc-
CURED on the very first major
issue before the board. 1t indi-
Gates that the labor union lead
ership of America has either
overreached itself to the point
where it demands a board Of its
own choosing and rules favor
able to its own viewpoint or else
that the labor union leaders
don't really want representation
at all.
Maybe they want to force
one-man administrator to make
the decisions, or else a public
board without labor or manage
ment representation. 1t GER
tainly doesn't look like a spirit
of cooperation.
Reproduction Rights ReseryedJ

Having elaborated on his
thesis at length, the Senator
remarked, "One of the advan-
tages of our system of govern
ment is that -. a humble rep
resentative of the people can
arise and state the issue so that
he who runs may read and
understand what the conflict is
about"
It became clear Immediately
that the humble representative
was somewhat optimistic. In an
exchange that followed, Sena-
tor Taft said, II agree fully with
the Senator from Illinois
that we ought to abandon the
present policy. I raised the
question as to whether such
abandonment actually will have
the effect of preventing infla-
tion. as the Senator desires. 1t
may do so. I think it will not"
Senator Douglas: II think the
Senator from Ohio is now fall
ing into the same fallacy the
Senator from Wyoming fell into
earlier today"
So Senator Millikin of Colo

ent twilight war zone in which
the Government is operating is
bad for the Presidents fortunes.
1t has all the inconvenience of
war without the actual perils
which might inspire a don't
swap-horses mood among the
people. The scandals hurt the
White House. The President
has hurt himself with his letter
writing, above all the colloquial
letter to Music Critic Paul
Hume.
The constitutional amend
ment limiting the President to
two terms has technically no
bearing on the matter. since it
does not affect Mr.. Truman. 1t
perhaps has some psychological
effect.
The Presidents leadership in
the national committee is weak.
Chairman Boyle is eminently
fair and likable, but he has not
displayed the kind of force and
craft that could help protect
the President from his own mis-
takes and warn off intruders.
Nor has the organization been
strengthened. Mr.. Boyle has
finally got rid of his unpopular
assistant, Turney Gratz. but Mr..
Gratz' successor Is another
personal friend, not a real back
stop.
On the Hill, national head
quarters is unpopular. The
Senators do not believe 1t is
fortifying the party and they
say so.

I'm stopping simply for another

Actually, on clear days you can

At about 80 steps I want to

have reached what is known in

I am wheeling no more. I'm
not doing anything. No more

can crawl up, taking a little

My only satisfaction out of
the steps comes from watching
from my hotel window the eff

The American atomic energy
program may be impaired by the
difficulty of obtaining a material
known as monozite sands, which
exist in large quantities in In
dia.
When the question of appro-
prieting 5000 million to send
wheat to India comes up in Con-
greSs, Secretary of State Ache
son and his aides will be ques-
toned about the State Depart
ment's total lack of initiative in
making any effort to obtain for
the United States stockpiles of
this vital strategic material. We
now depend on small deposits
being worked in Brazil.
In April, 1946, India placed an
embargo on the export Of mono
zite sands. The embargo is
strictly enforced, as far as this
country is concerned. A guam
tity OF this material is believed
to have been exported to France
while Frederic Joliot-Curie, a
leading member Of the French
Communist Party, headed that
country's atomic program.
Monozite sands contain tho
rum and those other elements
which fall in the class of rare
earths." Thorium has been de-
fined by the Atomic Energy Act
Of 1946 as one source" of atomic
energy. The other rare earths,
also extracted from monozite
sands, in one chemical form or
another are used in such strate-
gic products as stainless steel
and a special alloy for jet
planes. They also are used in

real negotiations with them.
But nobody, apparently, is able
to say what proposals or de-
mands we will then put for

pone all peace attempts-or
even ideas-until we are able
to enforce them.
I submit that to assume that
a great and ambitious opponent,

two or three years, while that

Powerful Democrats outside
the Government and across the
country are slowly moving to-

must be built up. They put it
that the nomination must not
be forced upon President Tru-
man for lack of a substitute

AS the mink coat stories
touching the White House null
tiply and the strains of war in
crease, Democratic desire for a
change is bound to increase.
Meantime. the feeling that
the President is disinclined to
run again is taking hold. And

tain that Vice President Bark
ley will bow out.
Hence, no cold winds are
