His case was among so men,
toned by Senator Williams, Re-
publican, Of Delaware. in which

lively small amounts. Senator

Americans Now Want
Planning for Peace,
6. 0.P. Chairman SAYS
SummerfieId Asserts
Time Has Come to
Make Drastic Chance
BY the Assoeioted Press

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug.
16.-Arthur E. Summerfield, call
ing for a Republican victory at
national and State levels. said
today the American people have
had enough planning for war
what they want is some planning
for peace.
They do not want to be led
farther into the wilderness" the
new Republican national chair
man said in an address prepared
for the State G. o. P. conven-
ton. They want to be led out
of it,"
"They have had enough of the
mistakes of the past. he con-
tinued. They want accomplish
ment in the future.
They know that the time has
come for a drastic change in
America. The hour has arrived to
stand up and be counted"
Put Up to People.
Mr.. Summerfield said If the
people want -four more years OF
trials, tribulations and Truman
ism, they can get it by voting fol
Adlai Stevenson. If they want tc
get rid of it they know what tc
do-cast their votes for Dwight
D. Eisenhower and the entire Re-
publican ticket"
A Michigan automobile dealer
Mr.. Summerfeld likened the Tru-
man administration to a 20-year-
old car. He said it was too an
cient to be efficient and too obso-
lete to be repaired. He added:
Yes, it's time to bring out a
new model. No thinking Ameri-
can is going to fall for the idea
that you can put Adlai Stevenson
at the wheel with Harry Truman
doing the driving from the back
seat"
Referring to the White House
briefing of Gov. Stevenson on for
eign and defense matters. Mr.
Summerfield said the Democratic
presidential candidate sat with
the most discredited cabinet in
American history" including that
architect of disaster. the Secretary
of State, Mr.. Dean Acheson.
When Gov. Stevenson left the
White House." the chairman add
ed. "the sign was on his back fol
all to see. In foot-high letters was
one observation-disclosures"
Sees Greatest Crisis.
Mr.. Summerf1eld said the Ma
ton has reached "the greatest
crisis it has experienced in this
century" He traced its roots back
to recognition of Soviet Russia
in 1888 and on up to policies he
said are resulting today in the
killing of Americans in Korea by
Chinese Communists.
On the domestic side he said
the Democrats have completely
abandoned States rights, adding
To-day there is no segment OF
American life that does not feel
the heavy hand of Federal Gov
ernment through regulation OF
regimentation."
Mr.. Summerfield declared the
American people "are on the
march" because:
They are fed up with misman-
agement, bungling and corruption
whether it be in Washington OF
Lansing. They are going to clear
house from top to bottom"

u. ). Price Increases
Less Than in Europe,
U. N. Survey Shows
Up 10oo Since lo48
Against Britoin's 1920
And Frances 43%
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Aug.
16-Americans may shudder at
current price tags, but a United
Nations survey today indicated
prices have risen less in the United
States since 1948 than in such
tightly controlled nations as Brit
ain, Norway and Sweden.
Moreover, the United States has
held the line against imitation
better than such uncontrolled
countries as Canada, France and
Argentina. according to figures re-
leased in the U. Ms latest month
ly bulletin of statistics.
The survey showed United
States prices have gone up 10 per
cent since 1948. Figures for other
countries included: Britain, %
per cent; Norway and Sweden, 81;
Canada. 81; France, 43; Argen-
tina, 1876.
Not a Fair Gauge.
Some experts, however, claim
the survey is not a fair gauge of
country by country differences in
cost of living. The U. N. takes
ia48 as the base year. BY that
time, these experts contend. the
United States already had under
gone the worst of it's postwar in
fation, but the process was just
beginning in many other coun-
tries.
This means that even though
United States prices have not in
creased since 1948 at anywhere
near the rate suffered in some
other countries, they started from
a higher plateau and in actual
cash often are higher.
Another point made is that
many of the most spectacular
American increases have occurred
in the price of such items as meat,
which has little weight in an in
dex, but makes a big difference in
the average persons budget.
Basic foodstuffs, incidentally
are shown by the survey to have
risen only 10 per cent in the
United States during the past four
years as compared with 81 per
cent in Canada, 38 per cent in
Sweden and 81 per cent in France
British food prices. in contrast to
the rest of the nations economy
went up only 9 per cent.
Rose Sharply After Korea.
The sharpest rise in American
prices, the survey showed, came
Immediately after the outbreak
of the Korean war. The index
was steady from 1948 to June,
1850, and imitation in the United
States appeared under control.
But in the next few months
the index shot up to 108 and
since has continued a slow climb
to 10 last November. There it
has remained, except for a dip
to 100 in February and March
this year.
Paradoxically, the Korean in
f1ation was not felt in other coun-
tries until much later. In Brit
ain, for instance, the index stood
at 116 when the Reds invaded
South Korea. 1t fell to 108 by
the beginning of 1851 and did
not climb back until June of that
year.
BY October when Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill's Con-
servative government took office
it stood at 119 and since has

NO1 1AlS N4O-I H1S ally 1lC1 z
marked by talks by Mr.. Truman
and CIO President Philip Murray.
The delegates to the CIO meet
ing went to the White House rose
garden yesterday to receive a pep
talk from Mr.. Truman and an
appeal for similar type of cam
paign which carried him to victory
four years ago.
Cites Press Opposition.
Mr. Truman remarked 81 per
cent of the press opposed him
when he ran for election in 1948
and that ''it became necessary for
the candidate to see that the ma
jority of the people knew the facts
and the truth"
Then he added:
Nov we are going to be faced
with exactly the same situation
this time, and with your help, with
the help of the people who believe
in right for everybody. we are
going to do exactly again what we
did in 1948 and we are going to
make them like it."
Mr.. Truman was presented to
the delegates by Mr.. Murray as
the greatest friend labor has had
in my lifetime"
Murray CriticizeS Eisenhower.
Earlier, the CIO leader in talk
to the delegates. set a tone for
the labor organizations political
effort with a sarcastic attack on
Gen. Eisenhower, the Republican
nominee.
He quoted from 1948 and 1949
speeches by Gen. Eisenhower on
social security and contrasted
them with the COP candidates
statement last Saturday calling
for an expansion of social security
coverage and for higher old age
benefits.
Declaring with heavy sarcasm
that the earlier speeches had in
troduced a fine, statesmanlike,
broad vision of what America
should be-" Mr.. Murray quoted
Gen. Eisenhower as saying:
I'VE seek the illusion called
security. We want to wear fine
shirts and have caviar and cham
pagne when we should be eating
hot dogs and drinking beer"
Mr.. Murray commented:
Nov there's a philosophy to
be introduced into the American
political scene"
G. o. p. Platform ASSailed.
Mr.. Murray also assailed the
COP in general, in line with the
CIO Executive Committees reso-
luton of Thursday, calling the
Republican platform empty of
constructive ideas"
The CIO president asserted that
the G. o. P. is controlled by forces
which are 'isolationist at heart"
and which have a strange fool
ish notion that America can live
and live alone"
Mr.. Murray said, too, that the
G. o. P. has stood against any
legislation to control initiation"
He declared that 80 per cent
of the Republicans in the Senate
and 81 per cent of those in the
House favor the Taft-Hartley
Labor Act. The Democratic plat
form calls for its repeal; the
G. o. P. platform for such changes
as time indicates are needed.
The CIO-PAC plans to raise a
million dollars or more for the
forthcoming campaign. The money
raised is to be split equally be-
tween the national PAC and State
and local Political Action Com
mitteeS.
