THEY'RE BOTH JUST MEN
lin The Alhemarle Start

MIR. Republican has expressed a
willingness to talk to Mr.. Presi-
dent on the questions facing the
country today. Mr.. President ex-
pressed, in his speech the other
day willingness to talk and work
with everyone for the good of
the country and to unity the
action to be taken. Mr.. President
reminded that it is time to put
country before party and neces-
sary that everyone work together.
Why then does Mr.. Republican,
who in this case is Senator Ro-
bert Taft of Ohio, have to be in
vited to talk to Mr.. President ?
Why can't he, if he terms him
self the leader of the Republican
party, or as an individual as far
as that is concerned, just ask for
an appointment with the Presi-
dent to talke over their differ
ences?
Why the hell do they have to
sit back and spar, each waiting
for the other to invite him to a
talk? Although we have never
thought too much of Mr.. Taft, he
holds a powerful position in the
Republican ranks, and while he
does not exemplify the sentiment
of all the Republicans, he GER
tainly can speak for a large num-
Der of them, and Taft should be
given a hearing by the president
if he wants one.
This is time when the smallesF
can be of help to the largest, and
a time when the biggest should
seek the help and advice of the
smallest. 1t is no time for Mr.. Re-
publican and Mr.. Democratic
the President thinks of himself
in that term-to spar around for
an opening. If there is a difference
of opinions let them get together
and work them out, so that the
all-out effort to arm the country
can be put on a sound and speedy
footing. There is no time nor
place for petty chickering's, for
any holier- than-thou attitude on
the part of anyone.
If Mr.. Republican is willing to,
and wants to talk to Mr.. Presi-
dent, let him say so, and let the
two get together. The sooner the
better.

North Carolina senators were
among southern members of the
upper house who inaugurated a
move last week to abolish the poll
tax as a prerequisite for voting

Amvets Chief AssaiIs
Hoover Proposals

Armed isolationism as proposed
by Herbert Hoover and Joseph P.
Kennedy, was assailed as "a phil
osophy of gigantic appeasement"
by Harold Russell. National COM
mander of AMVETS in a Nation
wide radio address yesterday.
Speaking as lone leader of vet
Grams" and "also as a troubled
American" Commander Russell
termed the policy of such isola-
tionism "Gibraltarism" and de-
clared it is flaming the fires Of
Russian hunger and achieving
only disaster"
"As veterans of war, we should
be remiss in our duties if we did
not speak out against well-mean-
ing but misguided people who sue
ceed only in driving a wedge be-
tween segments of the American
public" he appealed.
He asserted that Eat this mo-
ment, Russia is perfectly capable
of walking across Europe" If the
Hoover Kennedy proposals Were
adopted, he charged, "the one
barrier hating Russia would be
removed. She would move across
Europe in a few days and occupy
the entire continent. The fate CT
England almost surely would be
sealed"
His proposals:
Re-arm Japan. create gigan-
tic network for counter-revolution
in China, build a naval blockade
Of China: defend Formosa-in
general keep Russia forever busy
in the Far East"
"In the interests Of national
unity, the time has come for

Rehabilitation Of Disabled Speeded 10 Fill Jobs

Federal regulations are being
changed to make possible speedier
rehabilitation of disabled workers
to fill critical job needs.
Federal Security Administrator
Ewing announced today that State
vocational rehabilitation agencies
will be empowered to give quick
and partial services to get the
disabled into jobs for which there
is an immediate and urgent
need"
Heretofore the regulations re-
quired States to provide all the
services deemed necessary for the
welfare of individual workers.
Evening star., 1951-01-08

Mr.. Ewing emphasized. however,
that their emergency training will
not preclude workers from re-
ceiving further rehabilitation serv-
ices at a later date to prepare
them for jobs to which they are
best suited. State Offices will be
instructed to show "full regard
for the individuals welfare during
the emergency program.
Latest rehabilitation figures
show $4,000 workers now being
processed and $4,000 awaiting
services. Last year, 59,597 disabled
were rehabilitated into successful

| Yugoslavs Fail Short.
Things done during the past
five years included rehabilitation
of war damage to cities and in
dustries, currency reform. and
improvement in the Soviet citi-
zens' standard of living.
Premier Marshal Tito OF Yugo-

nation had failed to reach its
goals-partly because of last

But he added:
"We have succeeded in break

by tightening credit on holders Of
tremendous inventory stocks, thus
forcing more and more goods on
the market.
But. they warn, If the public as
sumes that these price declines
are a demonstration that controls
are no longer needed, that infla-
tion is licked, it will be deluding
itself, because the ratio of con-
sumner goods to demand is bound
to grow smaller and smaller as
defense needs continue to eat into
civilian production.
In the face Of this admitted atti-
tude of the American people, the
question is can OPS and other fac
tors in the defense mobilization
set-up actually stabilize the ma
tons economy?
The answer comes from Charles
E. Wilson, president of General
Electric and head of the Defense
Production Administration, the
overall agency in control of the
entire defense program. Says Will
son: with the fullest degree of
drive and unity, we can do this
job by 1858. BY that date our
readiness to enter upon total mobil-
ization should be sufficient; and
production, in addition to meeting
current military needs, should sup
port civilian economy at or above
pre-Korean levels"
In the interim period, despite
| controls of prices, despite alloca-
ton of materials and scarce COM
modities, despite some regional la
Dor shortages, this country is not
expected to suffer any of the pangs
of austerity.
Civilian production will be far
greater, perhaps Is per cent great
er. than in 1910. BY comparison
with standards of living anywhere
else in the world, ours can only be
described as luxurious. And it will
remain so. if we win the fight
against initiation.
AS a matter Of fact an hours
labor today will buy more food,
more commodities, more services
than ever before in the history of
this country. And we are getting
better food, better commodities,
better distribution, better services
than ever before in our history.
If OPS is successful in this fight
against initiation and for the de-
fense effort, a two-pronged battle,
then we will have indeed been sue
cessful against the encroachments
OF communism on the home front,
and will have provided our mill
tary. wherever engaged, with the
sinews of war.
AS one OPS official put it: eff
we succeed we can keep America
really free--free to criticize-free
to think-free to change and at the
same time free to survive. That is
sufficient reward for any effort re-
quired Of u.s.

was running at full blast. Virtually
no man who wanted to work was
idle.
But, according to OPS officials,
the most serious barrier, despite
the high cost of living, is a psyche
logical one: The American people
are not ready to freely accept con-
trolls. And unless active cooperation
Of the people is forthcoming, not
merely passive acquiescence, then
controls Of prices, or materials, or
anything else simply will not sue
ceed.
Control Of the nations economy
on the present basis, a half-war,
half-peace environment, is un-
precedented in our history. But the
congress, the President and others
believed the only method by which
initiation could be whipped, the
value of the dollar preserved, pub
lie confidence sustained. savings
and insurance values held i'm
paired, and an intolerable burden
Of higher and higher prices pre-
vented was to institute the con-
trolls which are part of American
life today.
Actually the Defense Production
Act Of 1850 itself fixes a yardstick
for measuring initiation because it
says: -. =. when the price of
materials or service has risen or
threatens to rise unreasonable
above the prices prevailing during
the period from May "a, 1850, to
June "a, 1850 :" in such cases
price ceilings may be established.
And of course, when the Korean
war started on June Is, the real in
1ation started because Of scare
buying, boarding, speculation, price
boosts, and profiteering. It was a
pure ely psychological pressure,
which continued for months. There
was plenty Of goods. food, and
commodities of every nature: and
as matter of fact, civilian pro-
duction during the first quarter of
1851 exceeded production during
the same quarter of 1850
AS of May /. this year, only 7
per cent Of the national production
was devoted to defense materials.
By the middle of next year It is
expected that some 25 per cent of
national production will be for
defense. barring an an-out war.
The estimate of the joint econo-
mic committee of congress says
that by the middle of 1852 there
will have been built up an excess
OF consumer purchasing power
over available consumer goods of
some 1853 billions of dollars. That
