But members of Congress pro-
tested that the ceilings will dis

bring unnecessary hardship to

First in Vegetable Field.
This was the first OPS regula-
ton setting ceilings in the fresh
vegetable field. But OPS officials
said a sharp watch is being kept
on the rising prices of several
Iother vegetables. They mentioned
lettuce, carrots, cabbage, spinach,
tomatoes and celery.
The potato price cuts ordered
yesterday will take effect January
I19 at the shipper and wholesale
levels. BY that time, OPS said,
an order will be issued limiting
the percentage markups of retail
ers in setting prices for con-
Sumers.
OPS officials predicted the order
will be felt Immediately at the
farm and shipping level. The
rwo-week delay in effectiveness is
to give dealers a chance to dis
pose of any high priced potatoes
they may have on hand.
Big Volume Item.
Potatoes, Government head
ache for years, are one of the
Nations biggest volume food
items.
AS recently as the 1850 harvest,
the potato problem was one of
surplus and Government price
supports. Assured by the Gov
Iernment of a fixed return, pro-
|ducerS planted lots Of spuds.
To keep prices up, the Gov
|ernment stepped in and bought
tons of them. spending millions
Iof dollars. Some were peddled
abroad, but vast stocks were des-
troyed or fed to livestock.
A decision was made Ito re-
move price supports from the 1851
Icrop. Farmers cut their plant
ings, the 1851 crop was small and
thus in a years time the situa-
ton turned full circle.
Potato prices have more than
doubled in the past year. Since
September they have been going
Iup steadily.
Last December Is the average
price was 105 per cent of parity
the calculated figure set by law to
be fair both to farmers and to
those who buy their products.
George L. Mehren, head of the
OPS Food and Restaurant Divi-
sion, said the agency's aim is to
reduce prices from their current
levels to about that of parity.

He conceded that without Gov

Congress May Continue to Rule
New President May Be Forced Battle Conservative Coalition
Since Neither Porty Nay Have BIG Majority in CONGRESS

While the presidential candi-
dates are vehemently promising
what they will do as mad of this
great republic, the various con-
gressional campaign committees
are quietly drawing up form
sheets on the Senate and House.
A glance at the prospects
therein disclosed shows that the
victorious President is going to
have a lot in common with one
Harry S. Truman after the m
augural parade disperses. Even
with a landslide, which IS not
now anticipated, either can
hardly do better than a 55-41
Senate, with the House divided
in about the same proportion.
Thus the victor, like Mr..
Truman, must do business with
q coalition. The only question
is whether that coalition can
be shaped Of liberal elements
and the prospect is not too
bright. The chances are that
real control will revert to the
conservatives who have made
the present Presidents life a
burden.
The liberal representation can
be decidedly improved. In eight
States, conservative. nationalist
Republican Senators are op-
posed by liberal Democrats. The
remaining contests, however,
about balance out between the
two philosophers just as they
do between the two parties.

Constantine Brown:
Candidates Avoid Foreiqn Issues
Decisions at the Moscow Conference Will Affect Americans
At Least as Much as Debates Over Domestic Problems

The din of the battle of words
in the present electoral cam
paign relegates to a secondary
plan many developments abroad
which in the final analysis may
have at least as much impact
on the people of this country
as domestic issues.
So far none of the office seek
ers has mentioned more than
vaguely the uphill struggle fac
ing some 350,000 American,
fighting men in Korea: neither
has any politician referred, ex-
cept very casually, to the ever
worsening international situa-
ton ranging from the reluctance
Of our Allies to live up to their
commitments to the new plots
which are in. the making in
Moscow.
In February, 1850. china's top
Communist, Mao Use Tung,
went to Moscow. The result of
that visit was the conclusion of
a Sino-Soviet treaty of friend
ship. alliance and mutual as
sistance. The effect of that
treaty. considered then by West
ern diplomats merely as a
strengthening of the Muscovite
stranglehold on the Peiping ad-
ministration, was the invasion
of South Korea four months
later. Nobody. in this country at
least, has any illusions now that

foundations for the North Ko-
rean puppets aggression were
laid. r II. ~.
Two and a half years later, a
similar meeting is taking place
in the Kremlin with Prime Min
lister Chou En-lai replacing Mao.
Officially. the Chinese Com
munists say that the visit of
their prime minister to Moscow
and his long conversations with
Joseph Stain will serve prin-
cipally to further cement the
Sino-Soviet relationship and
"the cause Of peaceful construc-
tion Of the peoples of China and
the Soviet Union as well ss that
of the peoples of the rest of the
world" g,
These Humanitarian and self
less ideals" of the Communists
can no longer mislead our own
officials. They know that the
Chinese leaders insist on OBJ
tanning closer Cooperation and
support from Moscow in the
Korean war and definite de-
cisions regarding the next steps
to be taken at Panmuniom.
Nobody here can guess whether
the results of the Moscow con-
ference will be an intensification
Of the Korean campaign or a
sham armistice resulting in the
withdrawal of the American and
other United Nations forces from
the peninsula. It has been
ascertained, however. that the

Atlanta boys of another genera
ton used to find in the woods
near the city where the battle
once had rolled back and forth.
The general figuratively held
up MIME ball before his audi
ence here to stir it's ancient
pride and the humor now pos
sible after 88 years by recalling
the remark of an Albanian who
once said:
THE big trouble with the
Federals when they came this
way was they were a mite care
less with matches and fire"
To which he added his moral
Of today that the present Fed
erals" in Washington> are "a
mite careless with truth and the
taxpayers money" The general
brought his own fire, as did
Gen. Sherman, and literally ate
it in front of the crowds which
came to hear him in Atlanta
and Jacksonville and Miami.
He was on fire, at last aroused
to the fighting campaign" for
which his supporters had
pleaded and waited, as he
struck out at the corruption un-
covered in Washington in recent
months. He gave chapter and
verse on some of the most hei-
nous of Internal Revenue Bu-
reau scandals with the peoples
money, and called for common
woodshed honesty in the Gov
ernment of the United States"
That homely thrust got a nice
hand from the crowd-esti-
mated at around 35,OO0-who
stood in the hot midday sun
in Hurt Park in the center of
town to hear him; but they
were noisiest of all when he
cracked about those careless
with truth and the taxpayers
money. He got a most appre-
ciative and attentive hearing
and was interrupted frequent
ly with applause.
Through downtown Atlanta he
rode between throngs of peo-
pie packed along the sidewalks,
folks clearly in holiday spirit,
merry and shirt-Sleeved. The
truly hospitable welcome heart
ened the general and seemed to
give point to something said by
Gov. Herman Talmadge in his
speech of welcome a few mo-
ments later:
Georgia for too long has been
taken for granted"
Typically. he spoke of the "in-
suits to Georgia's delegation at
the Chicago Democratic con-
vention.
Maybe the ghost of Gen.
Sherman has been laid-despite

Among the choices" which
Gov. Stevenson enumerated is
"a recommendation Of settle
ment terms" The mere pres
ence Of this In a series Of
choices" in the same law that
provides for presidential inter-
vention pushes the labor prob
lem right to the doorstep of the
White House for settlement"
This is exactly what happened
In the steel case. Once President
Truman had seized the steel
plants. he recommended terms
Of settlement" and actually tried
to put them into effect when
the Supreme Court of the
United States stopped him be-
cause he had no law.
Gov. Stevenson would provide
the President with law that
would enable him to dictate
terms of settlement after the
plants are seized. This is COM
pulsory arbitration placed in the
hands Of a politician. For, what
ever Gov. Stevenson may say
about the political inspiration"
behind the Taft-Hartley Act.
there certainly was plenty of
political inspiration" behind
what Mr.. Truman did for his
allies in the CIO in the recent
steel seizure.
Fourth, the Democratic nomi-
nee, in coming out in effect for
the "closed shop" gives as an
excuse for the repeal of the
Taft-Hartley provisions the al
legation that the "closed shop"
ban in the present law isn't be-
ing respected. He says:
To-day several thousand en-
ployerS and several million en-
ployes are operating under boot
leg agreements in fragrant vio-
lation of the statute"
A conspiracy by two or more
persons to violate any law is a
Federal crime. Why hasn't
President Truman's Department
of Justice prosecuted the unions
and employers who, Gov. Stew
enson says. are violating the
law?
The answer is that Mr.. Tru-
man himself has publicly de-
nounced the Taft-Hartley Act
and, although requested by both
Houses Of Congress to use it, has
refused. That same spirit of
notification has spread through
out the labor world. Because
the President of the United
States has refused to order the
Taft-Hartley Act enforced, the
Democratic nominee now cites
the resultant conditions as his
main reason for repeal"

He has done more. He has
deliberately postponed accepting
the generals invitation to do so

home a correspondent, Edwin
Lahey. to whom he outlined for
publication the terms on which
he will come home. The Sena-

Senator Taft dares to act in
this manner because he sees

surprising, considering mis- lack

planning it to him in words Of

see him on the rampage shortly,
