SEN. MURRAY ADVANCES lO.POINT PROGRAM TO
WARD OFF A DEPRESSION

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Rigid,
monopoly prices are contributing to a
deepening recession, Senator James
z. Murray said in a Senate address
last week calling for new monetary
and credit policies, and a 1O-point
program to restore business to full
employment level
Business boosted prices in 1878
despite handsome profits, hating ma
tional recovery, Senator Murray said.
The 'last ditch" price increases made
by steel, aluminium, electrical, petrol
cum, household appliance and other
industries last summer are a repeat
performance, the Senator charged,
urging immediate investigation of
price spreads and vigorous anti-mo-
nopoly action.
Senator Murray sharply criticized
the Department of Justice plan to
handle antitrust cases in private,
eliminate trials, and simply submit
settlements to the courts for the rec
ords. 1t will be an improper assump-
ton of functions of the judiciary, he
commended, and the denial of public
revelation of facts about monopoly
practices to which the American pub
lie is entitled.
Calling for implementation of the
Employment Act of 1916, which he
authored, Senator Murray listed 10
among many steps which should be
taken at once to reverse the present
economic downtrend. They included:
1. Immediate action against mo-
nopolistic price practices, including
investigation of price spreads and
vigorous and aggressive antitrust
action. There should be investiga-
ton to determine why large saw
ings from Excess Profits Tax re-
peal aren't being passed on to
consumers.
2. Priority in tax relief should
be given lower income brackets,
including an increase from $500 to
81 600 in the income tax exemption

of i N v d | S. Administration
monetary, credit, and tax policies
are favoring corporations and the
wealthiest people against low in
come, consumer groups.
3. Revenues lost by the personal
exemption increase should be recov-
cred by re-enacting the Excess
Profits Tax, withholding tax on
interest and dividend income, less
liberal capital gains provisions and
more rigid business tax enforce
ment.
a. Repeal Taft-Hartley and inn
mediately increase minimum wages.
5. Immediately extend 5000 of
parity farm price supports to firm
farm prices and end the 2-year re-
cession in agriculture.
6. Increase investment in re-
sources and regional developments
and reject reductions in the rate
of investment in the Southeast,
Southwest, Tennessee Valley, CO.
iumbia Valley and Missouri Valley
enacted in fiscal year 1854 and
continued in the Administration
budget proposals.
z. Greatly increase investment
in schools, hospitals, medical ia
cilities, roads, and other needed
public works for which there is a
tremendous backlog of demand.
Our backlog of school needs totals
$40 billions and highways SIP bill
lions, Senator Murray pointed out.
8. Establish a small business
agency that functions and pro-
vides credit at reasonable terms.
9. Boost public housing to or be-
yond the pre-Eisenhower level and
increase emphasis on slum clear
ance and modernization of sub
standard homes.
10. Move boldly in the interna-
tional field to build the economy
of free world nations and stimu-
late t~adc.

BUSINESS TO GET MOST
TAX BENEFITS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Treasury Secretary George M. Hum
phrey agreed with television report
ers, January "a, that President Eli
senhower's 25 tax reforms would
largely benefit business. But, he
said, "The great bulk of the Ameri-
can people live on the basis of good
business" and things that 'help bust
ness, create jobs and keep our econ
omy going"
The House ways and means COM
mittee tentatively agreed on several
proposals during the week. Four af-
feet individual taxpayers.
1. A taxpayer would be allowed to
deduct all medical expenses above
go of his gross income, it's SO now.
2. The maximum medical expense
deduction could be as high as $4,000
multiplied by the number of a tax
payers dependents. It's $3.50 now.
3. The member of a housing coop
could deduct his proportionate share
of the projects interest and tax pay
ments. Coop apartment jewellers are
allowed to do this now, and of course
individual homeowners now deduct
the interest and taxes they pay on
their homes.
4. Under certain circumstances, a
taxpayer can deduct up to $500 a
year for care of children under 10.
Chairman Daniel A. Reed Urn. W
said he intended to permit corpora
ton excise taxes to die April 1. He
said such reductions were needed to
increase purchasing power so as to
industry.
Senator Hubert H. Humphrey Cd
Mimi said he thought the 1954-55
deficit would be closer to 81 billion
than the So billion forecast by Eli
senhower. Humphrey said the budget
overestimates revenues.

PORTLAND, Ore-Albert C. Ull-
man, president of the Idaho-Oregon-
Washington Hells Canyon Association
and a member of the executive COM
mittee of the National Hells Can
yon Association, urged Sen. William
II. LANCER, chairman of the Senate
judiciary subcommittee investigating
monopoly and antitrust law viola
tions to undertake a thorough in
vestigation into power monopoly
problems now arising in the Pacific
Northwest"
Ullman charged that because of
new Interior Department policies and
growing influence of electric power
companies there is danger that the
vast Columbia River power system,
with huge Federal dams not yet COM
pleted, with a power potential equal
to about one-third of the undeveloped
water power of the country, will be
dominated and in fact monopolized
by small group of private utilities.
In a statement to Sen. LANCER Ull-
man urged the investigation include:
L. Action of the Secretary of In
terror contrary to anti monopoly
clauses of the Bonneville Act in at
least five respects.
2. New 20-year contracts for Bon
neville power negotiated with pri-
vate power companies, which dis
eliminate against public agencies and
give preference in bargaining to pri-
vate utilities.
8. Billing methods established by
the 20-year contracts giving $40 to
$40 million "windfall' to private utili-
ties.
A. The "linkage" existing between
the Governors of Washington and
Idaho with Northwest private utili-
ties.
s. Steps taken by Northwest pri-
vate utilities to restrict the supply
of Federal power available to pub
lie agencies through opposition to new
dam construction.

COERCION WILL NEITHER "PR0VE LOYALTY NOR
FOSTER PATRIOTISM, ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES

| instruction. A school board in Rose
bud county had considered the ex-
pulsion of three children of the Je-
hovah Witness faith for failure to
comply with a resolution of the Board
making the flag salute mandatory.
County Attorney Fillner questioned
whether such action could be taken
since the 1912 ruling of the United
States Supreme Court that the First
and Fourteenth Amendments to the
United States Constitution forbid the
forcing of the flag salute upon those
who have religious objections to it.
Olsen quoted from the 1912 de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court in the case of West Virginia
State Board of Education VS.. Bar
nette where the U. S. Supreme Court
said: "To believe that patriotism will
not flourish if patriotic ceremonies
are voluntary and spontaneous in
stead of a compulsory routine is to
make an unflattering estimate of the
appeal of our institutions to free
"The law is Clear" Olsen said. "The
facts are unequivocable and are not
susceptible to any conclusion other
than that reached in the Barnette
case. Words or acts made under the
coercive threat of expulsion neither
prove loyalty nor foster patriotism.
at is therefore my opinion that
the Board of Trustees of school |
district may not compel pupil to
salute the national flag where the
refusal is based upon sincere religious
grounds. Neither the threat of, nor ac-
tual expulsion of a pupil may be re-
sorted to in an effort to obtain COM
pliance."

influence the legislative body which
has even less time for deliberation.
at is inherent in this set-up," said
Mr.. Page, "that one man who is in
no way responsible to the electorate,
could dominate an entire legislative
assembly,"
"The Little Hoover Commission"
he said, twas temporary committee
with the single objective of reorgan-
izing state government, while the Leg
islative Council was designed as a
permanent organization, armed with
the power of subpoena, empowered to
wander over the entire legislative
field. The still-needed work or re-
organization can be accomplished in
couple more legislative sessions and
then there will be little that a per-
manent legislative council could hope
to accomplish that would not involve
legislation that is political, contro-
versial, and the outcome of which is
highly speculative"
To preserve the independence of
the legislature, Mr. Page suggested
that constitutional amendment au-
thorize the law-making body to ~
increase the length of time it meets,
either in number of days or through
a split session meeting once each
year; and (2) establish temporary in
term committees to study specific
problems.
