Opposition Of Taft
To Durkin Believed
Caused by Policy Riff
Ohioon Is Seen Peeved
By Failure to Name
His Choices for Posts
By J. A. OLeoy

The big question in the Taft.
Eisenhower rift today was whether
it is an all-out war, or merely 9
localized battle over the handling
Of labor policy in the new admin
iStration.
When the Ohio Senator lasheo
out yesterday at the President
elects choice of Martin p. Durkin
an AFL official, for Secretary o1
Labor, he did not clearly indicate
whether he would try to block
confirmation.
The Associated Press reported
that the Senator, who is at hi
home in Cincinnati, declined tt
say whether he would fight thu
nomination in the Senate.
Would Face Hard Fight.
Most observers here agreed thai
Senator Taft would face an uphill
tight trying to block the nomina-
ton even If he was disposed to &c
that far. Although he is chair
man Of the Senate Labor and
Welfare Committee. to which the
appointment would be referred
the belief is strong at the Capitol
that the Democrats would join
with most Republicans in support
ing Mr.. Durkin.
There was a tendency in polit-
ical circles here to regard the
Taft statement more as a move
by the Ohio Senator to let Gen
Eisenhower know that he is not
pleased by the consideration
shown his recommendations for
cabinet posts.
The supporters of Gov. Dewey
of New York arch foe of the Taft
wing of the party, have received
the lions share Of appointments
thus far.
Another big question mark to-
day was whether the Taft out
burst against the Labor Depart
ment appointment will have any
effect on the selection of a floor
leader by Senate Republicans.
Bridges Could Avert Fight.
Senator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire, the present leader, could
avert a fight over the post by
announcing that he will keep the
job. If he gives it up for the
honor of being chosen as President
Pro Tempore of the Senate, a
contest for leader is in prospect
between Senator Taft and SEN
ator Knowland of California, who
was one of Gen. Eisenhower's
close advisers during the cam
paign.
Although the few Democrats
who are here were chuckling yes
terday over the early explosion in
Republican ranks. the Taft state
ment is not likely to produce a
serious split in Congress.
Old-timers at the Capitol are
predicting that Republicans gen.
orally will be eager to follow Gen.
Eisenhower on most matters, re-
membering the big popular vote
he received in the election.
Senator Jenner. Republican. of
Indiana reflected this attitude last
week when he said the 1853 ses-
sion of Congress will be like the
first 100 days of Franklin D.

Truman Foe HOnored.
A new flip was given the Tru-
man-NAM feud today, wher
Clarence B. Randall. president o1
the Inland Steel Co. of Chicago
was named the NAM Man of the
Year."
President Truman in the past
has assaile6 the NAM as the
epitome of big business bent or
taking from the common man the
advantages he enjoys. This was
particularly true in the 1948 cam
paign.
Mr.. Randall is the steel man
who gave Mr.. Truman a bare
listed going over in a speech re-
plying to the seizure of the steel
companies last spring. That
speech shocked some of his listen
ers. But the NAM asserted il
won for Mr.. Randall "the acclaim
of thinking Americans every
where"
Mr.. Randall was selected fol
the award-the first time it has
been presented-by a group o1
former directors and other vet
Grams in the organization given
the pleasant cracker-barrel ap-
pellation of the "Old Timer:
Council"

was delivered by Earl Bunting

lister, Mr. Wigforss, who visited
the United States last summer, re-
portedly said that the American
standard of living was 300 high
er thar Sweden's. (Since the war
Sweden's standard has been rank
ed the highest in Scandinavia).
Prices in Sweden were doubled,
on the average, from June 1889 to
March, 1852, and one of the bu-
reau spokesman estimated that
wages had risen little faster than
costs during that period. In the
latter part of 1850 the inflation-
airy spiral quickly turned upward,
subsequently offsetting the tax de-
creases for persons in the lower
income brackets since 1913.
Their Poor People are Better Off,
But We're Richer
The WigfOrss estimate, howev-
er, does not allow for all the var
ious social security measures and
subsidies that help bolster the
Swedish economy. Another factor
worth considering is that the peo-
pie in the lowest income brack-
cts are substantially helped by
these government grants and aid.
In other words the poorest people
in Sweden couldn't possibly be as
poor as their American counter
e..
Speaking in very broad terms. the
Swedish poor are better off than
the American poor, but the aver
age worker and the well-to-do lag
substantially behind the earnings
of their American counterparta.
The group of people generally
considered the worst off" in Swe-
den today is the folkpensioners
recipients of old age benefits. who
as single men and women receive
1850 crowns a year. But they al
so get allowances for fuel and
rent in many cases. New meas
ures are being mapped out to pro-
vide for them.

The interview with Director Nils
Muller revealed that project of
interest to Observation-Disclosures
is in the offing, if he has his way.
A rather young man who looks
somewhat like Lucky Lindbergh,
Muller hopes to be able to make a

about Observation-Disclosures. He
says he wants to show on cellu-
loid what ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
looks like. how stateside Norwe-
gians live and maintain homeland
connections, which apparently,
never has been done before. Such
a film, he feels, could make hit in
Norway. He would make film in
terviews with Norwegian-Ameri-
cans an integral part of the NOV
lie.
Muller explains that he would
need to have a vehicle of some
sort at his disposal for the nation
wide tour. He would also need a
small expense account for himself
and one or two co-workers during
the tour. Whether or not some
Norwegian-Amer organization
or interested individuals in Amer
lea are willing to back him up
in this respect remains to be seen.
Obviously, he welcomes any sup
port that may be given him.

N RS. Eisenhower
Is Half Swedish

Abilene, Texas, probably makes
you think of Ike abilene, Kan.
and so it may be proper at this
point to mention that Mrs. Eisen-
hover, known as Mamie, is half
Swedish.
It happened this way: Maria
Anderson was born in Fjaras,
Sweden, on August 2, 1910; in the
year 1866, she married Carl S.
Carlson of the same village and
the couple emigrated to the United
States in 1867, settling in Boone,
Iowa. Here their daughter, Ellen
Carlson, was born on May 9, 1878;
in November 1894, Ellen married
John S. Doud and their daughter
Mamie, {Mrs. Eisenhower was
born in November, 1896. Around
the year 1900 the Doud family
moved to Denver, Colorado and
it was in this city young Dwight
Eisenhower met and married
(1916) Mamie.
Should Ike be elected president
we'd thus have a 500 Swede as
our First Lady-for the frs t
time, no doubt.

an increase of 20 per cent. In
spite of curtailed currency allows
ance, British tourists have come
to Sweden in large numbers, to-

There were no official statistics
available as to the comparative
differences between living costs in
Sweden and United States, with
one exception. Figuring on the av-
erage income of persons in the up
per middle-class bracket, it was
estimated that living costs for
these Swedes would be 500 high
err if they exchanged their Swe-
dish money into the then current
rate of the American dollar and
lived in San Francisco. Seattle
would stand a comparison with
San Francisco'rliving costs.
