Byrd Says Candidate
Backed by South Will
Win in November
BY the Assoeioisd Press

Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of
Virginia. said today the South
will have "the balance Of power
the deciding voice" in the No
vember presidential election.
Senator Maybank, Democrat.
|of South Carolina, agreed and
added that the bid of Senator
Russell of Georgia for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination
makes it certain the party will
adopt a platform acceptable to
the South"
Like Senator Maybank, Senator
Byrd is backing Senator Russell
for the top spot on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Southerners who
persuaded Senator Russell to
seek the nomination have made
it plain their goal is to keep
President Truman from being re-
elected, if he decides to run again.
Senator Maybank said there is
scarcely any doubt" Mr.. Truman
would win the nomination If he
becomes a candidate. The Presi-
dent is expected to announce
whether he will seek reelection
late this month.
Optimistic About Russell.
"But I say Dick Russell will
have an excellent chance of being
nominated and elected President
iii Mr.. Truman doesn't rum" Sem
ator Maybank added.
Senator Kefauver Of Tennessee
is the only other Democratic can.
didate to announce so far.
Backers Of Senator Russell are
marking time as to what their
strategy will be if Mr.. Truman
is the nominee. Senator Russell
has refused to say whether he
would lead d third party under
such circumstances.
The Georgian has stated, how
ever, that he would not hesitate
to leave the party" If he felt the
platform the Democrats adopt at
their July convention would be
damaging to the country"
The South's main concern about
the platform centers on whether
it will include strong civil rights
program as the 1948 platform con-
tanned.
Silent ON Third Party.
Mr.. Truman has called repeat.
edly for enactment of the pro.
gram into law, but Southern Sen.
ators have blocked action.
Senator Byrd would not say
whether he would favor a third
party with Senator Russell as the
presidential nominee If Mr.. Tru-
man runs again. Nor would the
Virginian speculate as to whether
Southerners might decide to vote
for the Republican candidate in
that event.
Senator Byrd made it clear.
however. that he feels the South
will be in a position to swing the
election to the candidate Of it,
choice.
In predicting that Senator Rus
sells candidacy means adoption
OF a Democratic platform 'ac-
ceptable to the South" Senator
Maybank said:
Senator Russell will have the
solid South behind him at the
convention, plus more than a few
delegates from other parts Of the
country. I don't think the party
is going to ignore that kind Of
strength"

Did he approve of Secretary

Senator Taft said he himself
had taken a definite position on
these and other important mat
terS, and still was able to win in
q big way in his reelection in
Ohio.
His Strength Questioned.
"Can any one tell how strong q
candidate Gen. Eisenhower will be

tions?" he asked. "Is he for the
compulsory FEPC. as are practi-
cally all Of his supporters. or does
he oppose it? In one case he loses
great support in New York. In
the other he throws away any DOS
sible chance Of carrying q South
ern State"
He pointed out, too, that Gen
Eisenhower would have to take
a stand on farm policy. and a rea-
sonable price support program
similar to that now in effect, and
on a tax on farm co-operatives
Whichever way Gen. Eisenhower
moves on these questions, Senator
Taft said. would affect his popu-
larity.
The Senator said he had come
into the New Hampshire primary
under a severe handicap, declar-
ing that Gov. Adams and all the
Republican brass" were in the
Eisenhower corner, and it had
been widely proclaimed by Senator
Lodge Of Massachusetts,, the Eisen-
hover campaign manager, that
New Hampshire was Gen. Eisen-
hower's territory. Now, he said,
Sen. Lodge was backing away, and
saying that the presidential prefer
ence vote really meant very little
in New Hampshire.
The Senator drew q round of
applause when he said that If Gen.
Eisenhower were nominated for
the presidency he would support
him.
He concluded his address with
a strong defense Of the Taft-Hart-
ley Act and then answered ques-
tions from the audience.

Dovd LoWrence:
SIS Million Voters Seek Remedy
Presidential Campaign Leaders Have Discovered That People
Have Real Tax Burden-Hedging Is Not the Answer

the world were dispelled. as he
believed it can be.
July 30-Gov. Stevenson, the
Democratic nominee, is described
in news dispatches from SPRING
field. Ill, as answering Gen.
Eisenhower by saying that he
felt very strongly" that foolish
and irresponsible" promises of
tax reduction were very "mis-
leading" He said he hoped that
neither party would offer forlorn
hopes of large tax reductions
while at the same time demand
ing a defense establishment
adequate to security require
ments.
August 9EDispatches from
Springfield. attributed to an
authoritative source" reveal
that Gov. Stevenson feels that
within two years there can be a
substantial cut in defense spend
ing and some start made toward
lowering taxes and the national
debt. He envisions a cut in
military spending in the budget
to be submitted to Congress for
the fiscal year 1855, which be-
gins July 1, 1854, and he en-
phasizes that his plan depends
entirely on the condition that

the world situation will get no
worse in the meantime.
So now the Democratic nomi-
nee doesn't feel it is foolish and
irresponsible" to say in the mid
die Of August what the Republic
can nominee said in the middle
of June.
But the truly significant de-
velopment is that somehow or
other - by perception duly
sharpened by contemporaneous
happenings in the field of poll
tics, or otherwise-the leaders
have discovered that the Ameri-
can people have a real tax bur-
den on their backs.
What, after all, interests SIS
million voters-if that be the
number which the experts say
will vote this autumn? What
else touches the individual citi-
zen so acutely as taxes? Yet, up
to now, the Democratic admin
istration has insisted that taxes
aren't high enough, and Presi-
dent Truman has asked each
year for higher taxes than Con-
gress has been willing to vote.
Only the political expediency of
an election year prevented an
inSiStence by the Truman adj
ministration during the recent
session Of Congress on another
tax bill. sending tax rates still
higher.
The argument usually made
at the White House is that the
wealthier classes aren't taxed
enough and that corporations
can stand even higher taxes.
This sort of demagoguery is
echoed by labor union leaders,
who have been insisting right
along that tax rates could be in
creased.
Will Gov. Stevenson follow the
usual Democratic party line and
recommend tax increases? His
latest statement indicates that
he would like to be recorded on
the side of tax reduction now,
but he hedges it. as do all the
others, with the comment that
everything is dependent on
world conditions.
The present administration
has not shown the slightest in
terest in making drastic reduc-
tions in those parts of the ma
tional budget which are not
directly related to defense prep
arationS. In fact. the admin
istration has repeatedly argued
for more non-defense spending
on the theory that social prog
ress demanded it. Does Gen.
Eisenhower have in mind cuts in
the budget all along the line?
II the recent comments from
both the Democratic and Re-
publican nominees indicate an
awareneSs of the tax problem
and Of the dangers that lie
ahead when incentives are i'm
paired-as they certainly will be
if taxes are not reduced-then
the debate in the newspaper dis
patches will prove salutary, and
it will not matter who urges tax
reduction so long as there is
some tangible basis for believ-
ing it will materialize in the
not-too-far-distant future.

John c. Henry:

It will take time, If we have
it, to measure the real effects of
recent developments on the
Western defense effort-and to
reconcile the variety of high
level views which have been ex-
pressed about it.
At home, despite protestations
from the Commander-in-C Chief
of the Nations armed forces
at the dangers to our security
if our industrial mobilization
should be interrupted by a shut
down in the steel industry, we
accepted a paralyzing 57-day
strike. During that time the
Commander-in-Chief and his
administration concerned them
selves more with the political
implications Of the controversy
than with the effects on ma
tional security. It was not until
Secretary of Defense Lovett was
questioned at press conference
that there was given an official
and startling evaluation of this
creeping catastrophe" to the
effect that no enemy air action
could have taken $50 steel
plants out Of production in
single day and kept them out
for nearly two months.
1T is a tragic thing we have
done to ourselves" Mr.. Lovett
said then. Whether it is mur-
der committed by some one else
or suicide by ourselves. the ef-
fects are the same"
The closing Of shell-making
plants, curtailment Of jet-en-
gine production and cutbacks on
many other items of armament
already had been disclosed.
Some will still take place in the
future as a result of lowered
stOckpiles of steel. The ending
Of the strike and the reopening
of the plants, still not 100 per
cent complete, will never replace
a portion at least Of the lost
production.
Meanwhile, the NATO rearm-
ament program as set up at the
Lisbon Conference last Febru-
ary has run into anticipated

the threat of aggression against
the West has diminished. He
described as most serious the
deficiency in the logistics field.
though he added his confidence
that all the current problems
would be taken care of and
that the NATO program would
not be damaged.
To the Kremlin conspirators,
never remarkable for their flex-
ibility of imagination and whose
astuteness has often been ex-
aggerated in the past, this pic
ture of Western alliance that
seems to be alternately in a
panic of urgency and a torpor
of stubborn inactivity is prob
ably both puzzling and pleasing.

Britain, seeming to be caught
up in a never-ending financial
crisis and now split politically as
she has not been since 1910, has
decided formally to stretch out
her own production and contri
buttons to the Allied build-up.
France, more inclined to COM
bine political and financial un-
certainties in reverse order to
that in Britain, has announced
officially that failure to obtain a
larger and long-term American
dollar commitment has leopard
lied her contribution to the
common cause.
Belgium is being plagued with
demonstrations against the two
year draft term.
Toward these and other Eu-
ropean shortcomings, Mr.. Low
ett appears to feel less alarm.

Terms Before You Sign
RnP AeiwigaG

At one time or another, most
Of us have bought some item of
merchandise on time payment.
The legal name for such a trans
action is a conditional sales con-
tract" The Minnesota State Bar
Association points out that you
should be sure you understand
the terms of such a contract be-
fore you sign 1t.
When you make a purchase on
time payment, a finance or carry
ing charge is added, as well as in
terest on the deferred balance.
After signing an installment con-
tract you may decide to pay up
the entire balance in one lump
sum and save these charges,
which can amount to a good deal.
Unless provision to this effect
is contained In the contract, you
may not get an adjustment on the
carrying charge. The matter Of re-
funding a portion of the carry
ing charge to those who pay up
installment contracts before the
agreed time depends entirely upon
the policy of the seller. or the
company to which the payments
are made. The buyer is bound by
the terms of the written contract.
Although many business con-
Germs make concessions in a case
of this kind, some will not.
Certain used car dealers in
Minnesota refuse to adjust carry
ing charges and interest when a
contract is paid up before the time
agreed.
