Justification for Aid
Should Be Studied

The commission should
study and investigate all the
activities in which Federal aid
is extended to State and local
governments, whether there is
justification for Federal aid
in all these fields, whether
there is need for such aid in
other fields. The whole ques-
ton of Federal control Of ac-
tivitieS to which the Federal
Government contributes must
be examined. The matter of
the adequacy of fiscal re-
sources available to the various
levels of Government to dis
charge their proper functions
must be carefully explored.
The commission should be Of
such size and composition as
to permit appropriate repre-
sentation of the various gov
ernmental levels and of out
standing members of the
general public. It should be
provided with an excellent
staff, able to draw on the great
amount of work which has
already been done in this field.
In order that the commits
sion may complete its report
in time for its consideration
of the next session of the Con-
gress, I urge prompt action
on this matter.

the Legion of Mary yesterday as
"a spiritual achievement of tre-
mendous Importance to the en-
tire archdiocese" !"
Archbishop O'Boyle spoke to
more than 900 members of the
organization from "A Catholic

During his talk the Archbishop
praised the legionnaires for the
nearly 5000 home and hospital

A pledge was taken by the
Group to help restore Christian
principles to American life" The

Local Governments
Must Be Kept Strong

The maintenance of strong,
well-ordered State and local
governments is essential to our
Federal system of government.
Lines of authority must be
clean and clear, the right
areas of action for Federal
and State government plainly
defined. This is imperative for
the efficient administration of
governmental programs in the
fields of health, education,
social security and other grant,
in-aid areas. The manner in
which best to accomplish these
objectives, and to eliminate
friction. duplication, and waste
from Federal-State relations
is, therefore, a major national
problem.
To reallocate certain of
these activities between Fed
eral and State governments,

plication and waste. 1t is
time to relieve the people of
the need to pay taxes on taxes.
A major mark of this de-
yelopment has been the null
tiplicatien of Federal grants
in-aid for specific types of ac-
tivities. There are now more
than 80 such grant programs.
In the aggregate. they in
volve Federal expenditures Of
well over 50 billion a year.
They make up approximately
one-fifth of State revenues.
While by far the greater
part of these expenditures are.
in the fields Of social security,
health and education, they
ALSO spread into many other
areas. In some cases the Fed
eral Government apportions
fixed amounts among the
States: in others it matches
State expenditures: and in a
few it finances the entire
State expeniture.
The impact of all these
grants on State governments
has been profound. While
they have greatly stimulated
the development of certain
State activities, they have
complicated State finances
and administration; and they
have often made it difficult
for States to provide the funds
for other important services.

To achieve these purposes.

products unless the United States
erected a barrier at the border.
At the same time, Secretary
Benson conceded that he wanted
other nations to be more kindly
toward Americas farm products.
The January farm exports of
1859 million was 20 per cent be-
low the previous January, and
II per cent below December.
During calendar 1852, Ameri-
can farm exports were worth
$3.4 billion. or Is per cent less
than the previous year.
January exports Of wheat,
compared with January of last
year, were of % per cent: cot
ton exports dropped SO per cent,
and tobacco was of 4 per cent.
Some crops such as corn sold
more readily this January. but
the overall trend was down.
Representative Bow, Repub-
lican, of Ohio today suggested
one solution: Ship surplus butter
and other dairy products to
South Korean troops. lighting
on a semistarvation diet" Mr..
Bow pointed out that ROK
troops get approximately $500
calories daily. while Americans
fighting alongside them get as
much as 5000 calories.
Sending Cotton Experts.
To find foreign markets, Sec
retary Benson IS sending cotton
experts to Japan and Western
Europe. and q tobacco authority
to The Far East. Already, a
touring citrus specialist has re-
ported the United States should
ship canned citrus to Western
Europe. but give up trying to
sell fresh fruit there.
Secretary Benson also has
prodded his scientists to find new
outlets for farm products. Says
Secretary Benson: IF they can

Drastic Changes
In Taft-HartIeyAct
Urged by Reuther
BY the Associated Press


CIO President Walter Reuther
today asked Congress for "dras-
tic" changes in the Taft Hartley
labor law and quoted freely from
President Eisenhower's campaign
speeches to support his argu-
ment.
Mr.. Reuther said the act
should be stripped of its injunc-
ton provisions. He quoted the
President as having said that in
functions will not, settle the
underlying fundamental prob
lens which cause a strike"
Mr.. Reuther's testimony was
prepared for the Senate Labor
Committee, now in the second
week Of hearings on revision of
the 1947 Taft-Hartley law.
The Taft Hartley Act, Mr..
Reuther said, puts its faith on
labor injunctions to insure labor
peace" and is falsely based" on
the belief that "the power of the
courts is a f1t substitute for free
collective bargaining"
Organized labor has repeatedly
condemned two sections of the
law which provide for injunc-
tions: One, the 00-day, strike
injunction for use in disputes
affecting the safety of the coun-
try: and two, injunctions against
certain union practices which
the law says are Illegal.
Mr.. Reuther said it was his
."unswerving belief that all of
these injunction provisions must
be stricken before the law can
be said to be just and fair"
AS a substitute for the 80-day,
no-strike injunction in national
emergency disputes, Mr.. Reuther
called for genuine give-and-
take collective bargaining"

Drop in Farm Exports
Spurs U. 5. Drive for
More Foreign Trade
By Jones E. Roper

An alarming new drop in
Americas farm exports today
nourished an Agriculture Depart
ment drive for more foreign
trade.
United States agricultural ex-
ports during January dropped
% per cent below the figure for
the previous January. And many
of the commodities that did go
overseas in January would not
have moved if the Government
hadn't given them away or paid
subsidies to get them out of the
country.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son feels the loss of foreign
markets is one of the chief fac
tors threatening farm prices.
Asks Industrial Imports.
To stop the trend, Secretary
Benson wants the United States
to import more industrial goods.
He reasons this way: If the
United States buys its neigh
bors' industrial output, they win
have dollars to buy American
farm products.
The decline in United States
exports has aggravated one of
Secretary Benson's dilemmas-
how to encourage American ex-
ports while at the same time
barring some foreign farm prod
uctS from the United States.
Secretary Benson last week had
to broaden a United States en-
barge against a number of for
eign dairy products. He apollo
gized for this violation of the
principle of freer trade. But he
feared that Government-sup-
ported prices here would attract

Exploratory Meeting
Held by Officials

The way has now been pre-
pared for appropriate action.
Shortly after stating my orig
inal intention, I called an ex-.
ploratory meeting of interested
officials, including members of
Congress and a group of gov,
ernors representing the Coun-
Gil of State Governments, to
confer with me on such a,
study.
This conference produced
general agreement on the Inn
portance of the problem and
an offer of cooperation in the
proposed study. Within a
few days representatives of
several leading organizations
of local government officials
will meet at the White House
with several of my associates
to give their considered and
needed counsel.
Inc present DIVISION OF ac-
tivitieS between Federal and
State governments, including
their local subdivisions, is a
product of more than CEN
tury and a half of piecemeal
and often haphazard growth.
This growth in recent decades
has proceeded at a speed
defying order and efficiency.
One program after another
has been launched to meet
emergencies and expanding
public needs.
Time has rarely been taken
for thoughtful attention to the
effects of these actions on the
basic structure of our Federal
State system of government.
Now there is need to review
and assess, with prudence and
foresight, the proper roles of
the Federal, State and local
governments.

Following is the teEt OF
President EisenfoDer'S mes
sage to Congress proposing

to study the relationship OF

ernmentS.:
In the staJe-of the Union

concern for the we'll -being of
all of our citizens and the at
tainment of equality Of oppor-
tunity for all.
I further stated that our
social rights are a most i'm
portant part of our heritage
and must be guarded and de-
Tended with all of our strength.

mary way of accomplishing
this is to recommend the crea-
ton of a commission to study
the means Of achieving a
Sounder relationship between
Federal, State and local gov
ernmentS.
