Senator Sporkmon's Views

Senator Sparkman, Democratic vice presl-
Dental nominee, was fully correct when he told
a u S. News and World Report correspondent
that the steel crisis was badly mishandled by all
parties, including the Government.
The Senator holds the view that both labor
and industry were too willing, and found it too
easy, to bring the case to the Government
pass the buck, more or less" Then, in addition
to diSagreeing that the President had any
inherent powers" to justify his seizure action,
the Alabaman feels that the Government lacked
coordination between its wage-fxing part Of
the stabilization program on one hand and it's
price-fixing part on the other
AS solution for these problems, the Senator
said he would favor law that would make 1t
difficult for disputing parties to drop their
troubles in the lap of Government, that would
assure neither side of profit" by having the
case brought to Government, and that would
keep the pressure" on both sides to settle their
own troubles. He proposed further wage and
price formula comparable to the so-called Little
Steel Formula" of World War II years.
There is a considerable amount of common
sense about the Senator's proposals but he may
not find them politically popular. The steel
strike probably never would have happened If
the old Wage Sterilization Board had not
recommended the union shop provision IA
bonus" recommendation as far as labor was
concerned The strike might have been averted,
or ended sooner, by invoking the Taft-Hartley
Act-but it was described as unfair" to labor.
All such damaging industrial deadlocks might
be averted by law that would provide fool
proof formula for handing down settlement.
But labor has found the present Democratic
administration It's greatest friend" and tt Is
not likely to favor proposals that preclude 1t
from seeking the advantages that come from
such friendship.

Soviet Trade Propaganda

- Although some quarters consider them to be
exceedingly bright-vertable genuises In the art
Of telling lies and hoodwinking people-the
soviet propagandists occasionally demonstrate
that they have a marked capacity Tor publicly
tripping over themselves in a monumentaly
stupid manner. A case in point is their handling
Of the East-West trade issue.
r. That issue was one Of the Kremlin's biggest
talking points at the start Of this year Day after
day week after week, the Soviet press and radio
kept harping on the theme that the Stain gov
ernment was sincerely sorry to see how the United
States had led other countries into restricting
commerce with the peoples democracies" behind
the Iron Curtain. Actually, according to Moscows
propagandists Russias sole desire was to promote
peace by encouraging great revival in the flow
OF goods back and forth between East and West.
The peak of this propaganda was reached at
the so-called international Economic Confer
ence" in Moscow last April. At this conference
which the Kremlin staged as something circum-
venting the normal United Nations machinery
for such meetings-oficial spokesmen grandilo-
uuently presented a Soviet offer to engage with
the capitalist world in trading program that
would involve an exchange of goods valued up to
as high as $40 billion during the next two or three
years Certain Western businessmen in attend
arlce at the conference" seemed considerably
impressed by this offer, seeing In 1t the possibility
of reviving European commerce In way that
would stimulate employment and prosperity In
their own countries.
But these gullible Westerners, If they have
not been disillusioned by other events since the
Moscow conference" ought to have no trouble
now in detecting the fraudulent hypocritical
nature of Soviet appeals for East-West commerce.
The Kremlin itself is responsible for this eye
opening development. BY refusing either to ac-
knowledge or accept repeated invitations to take
part in a special trade promoting meeting that
the United Nations Economic Commission for
Europe had scheduled for next month, it has
torpedoed project in which all the free coun-
tries have been willing to join. It alone IN short.
has followed course completely In conflict with
its own high Empowered propaganda about vast
increase in the exchange Of goods
This looks like stupidity on the part OF the
Soviet propagandists-a blunder pointing up the
phoniness of the April conference" In Moscow
and all the honeyed pleas for expanding trade
That phoninesS Of course has been obvious from
the start to everybody but the naive. For the
Kremlins operations in this f1eld have been
aimed primarily at creating split between the
United States and its Atlantic Allies over policies
restricting exports to the world behind the Iron
Curtain. In other words, the aim has been not to
promote commerce but to promote Western dis
sension Of kind that might end the embargo or

-BootIegger Settled
S16,O37 Tax Debt for
$1,000, U. 5. Reveals

Morris Kleinman. former Cleve-
land bootlegger and convicted tax
Ievader, once settled a $16,037 tax
debt for $1,000.
| Full details Of the settlement,
and reasons for accepting it, were
made available by the Internal
Revenue Bureau in line with its
new policy of explaining such
compromise settlements"
Kleinman'S offer was accepted
in 1888 on tax deficiencies for the
years Of 1929 and 1880. In 1888
he was jailed and fined $4,000 for
evading payment of the same
taxes. Paroled in 1896, he signed
a pauper's oath that he Couldn't
pay the fine.
Assessment Cut.
The preliminary tax assessment
made against Kleinman amounted
to $53,514. This was cut to $25,-|
Isl after a supplemental investi-
cation of Kleinman's affairs. Sub
sequently. bureau records showed,
"a Board OF Tax Appeals cut this
to a total assessment Of $18.650.
Kleinman paid $2,612, leaving
|$16,037.
After his release from prison,
the report said, it was learned
Kleinman had lost q half-interestI

The report said his sole source
Of income, so far as could be
determined. was his weekly salary
($75) from Liberty Poultry, Inc,
and there are no indications that
he will receive any substantially
greater income in the future"
Thus. the bureau decided, ST.
600 was as much as Kleinman's
prospects indicated he would be
able to pay, and that amount was
accepted on recommendation of
bureau field agents and Chief
Counsel j. P. Wenchel.

This shortage of such things as
tomatoes, beans, corn green's and
potatoes is bound to be reflected
across many months because
Wiping out of thousands of home
gardens means less home canning
and freezing and heavier demand

Immediate effects of the
drought in the meat field are less
apparent but the long range
danger is that scared pastures and
mounting feed grain costs will
force distress liquidation of many
herds, even to valuable breeding
stock with its inevitable effect on
supply in coming seasons. It's this
sort of ruinous practice which the

through it's relief program.
