Gas Prices Up

BY the beginning of last week,
1-cent increase in gasoline
prices was general east Of the
Rockies--except in a few areas
such as Dallas, Tex. where motor
lists, taking advantage of a gasoline
price war, were paying as little as
20.9 cents a gallon.
The major oil companies, which
also raised the price of crude oil
by 81 barrel. blamed the increases
on Europe's fuel needs after the
closing of the Suez Canal brought
a drought Of Middle East oil on
the Continent. The price increases,
which will cost consumers an esti-
mated $479 million a year, came
at a time when, according to in
dustry figures. there is a 60-day
supply Of gasoline on hand, double
the backlog usually available, and
this during the slowest season OF
consumption. There was an in
ventory OF nearly 100 million bar
rels Of gasoline, more than 10 mil
lion barrels over a year ago--and
stocks we're still rising at the rate
Of about / million barrels a week.

Non-MiIitory Trend

Civilian spending-that is, ex-
penditures for all purposes other
than military and foreign aid
has climbed during the Eisenhower
years from $2l9 billion to 1851
billion.
A constantly rising population
which has increased by 10 million
persons since Mr.. Eisenhower first
took office. has meant more free
school lunches. more pensions to
more people who are living longer,
more highways for more drivers.
more reclamation projects In sum:
More people require more services
from their Government.
The only way to escape this
would have been for Mr.. Eisen-
hover to turn completely from the
welfare state" of his two Demo-
cratic predecessors. The President
chose instead to chart course
of new Republicanism' not al
ways readily distinguishable from
the New Deal and Fair Deal. And
now, even this new course of the
Republican Party is curving further
to the left. As The Wall Street
Journal said editorially few days
ago: q. there is no escaping the
feeling that the Eisenhower adj
ministration is changing direction.
Wherever it may be headed. it
is not pointed on the same course
IT charted in 1853"
Almost every area of public well
fare comes in for a greater share
of Government spending than in
previous years. The function la
beled labor and welfare" is esti-
mated to require for 1858 half
billion dollars more than estimates
for the current fiscal year. which
were $256 million over 1856 costs.
Natural resources spending moved
upward from $1.104 million in
1856 to $l.37l million in 1857 and
$l,538 million in 1858.
The costs of giving apprecia-
ton to veterans for past services
show perhaps more graphically
than anything else the continued
upward trend in spending for per-
sonal benefits. These costs for 1858
will amount to $5,042 million, COM
pared to $4.327 million in 1858. In
pre-World War 1941, veterans cost
the Nation only $3.50 million. This
item is expected to rise annually
until the year 1000.
Almost unnoticed in the 1858
budget, despite its size, is the STA
billion to be set aside for interest
payments on the national debt.
This is an increase Of 500 million
over 1857 and $514 million over
1856, Notwithstanding slight reduce
tions in the total debt.
The interest rates on the debt
during the past year have climbed
from an average of 2.49 per cent
to 2.67 per cent. And there is a
persistent report that the rates the
Government pays on Series Z
bonds. which are now being pre-
sented for payment faster than
they are selling. will soon rise.

Some Proposals

In his budget message. Mr.. Eli
senhower unveiled some of the leg
islative proposals that were missing
from his state-of-the- Union mes
sage. Among them were:
. Expanded health research and
grant programs including volunteer
health insurance plans under which
small insurance companies and non
profit groups might pool their re-
sources.
. Assistance for areas of under
employment and extension of the
Fair Labor Standards Act.
. Adjustment of postal rates to
permit a pay-as-you-go postal sys-
TEN, which Congress has previously
rejected.
. No change in the adminiStra-
TONS basic farm policies.
. Passage Of the natural gas bill

Columbia.
. Statehood for Hawaii and Alaska.

veterans problem that so far has
confronted the Eisenhower admin
iStration-scarce money for CT
housing loans.
Late last year, as money for home
loans guaranteed by the Federal
Housing Administration became
increasingly scarce, interest rates
on FILA loans were raised from az
per cent to per cent. This made
CT housing loans-left at Az per
cent--less than attractive to
lenders.
Many veterans eager to buy
homes we're unable to find a lender.
Since only Congress can change
the ceiling on the CT rate. the
problem now rests on Capitol Hill.
where two solutions will be con-
sidered:
. To make the two systems again
non-competitive by raising the rate
of VA-guaranteed loans to per
cent.
. To hold the rate at AZ per cent,
with Uncle Sam doing the lending.
Two Senate bills introduced by
Senator Hubert Humphrey. Demo-
ocrat of Minnesota, would make
available SO billion for direct hous-
ing loans TO veterans. One billion
dollars of this would come from
a veterans trust fund, National
Service Life Insurance, which is
now invested at only 3l2 per cent.
The remaining So billion would be
made available from the funds
of the Federal National Mortgage
Association.
In the House. Representative
Multer. Democrat of New York,
has introduced a bill to authorize
81 billion in direct veterans hous-
ing loans by the VA.
Mr.. Eisenhower, IN his budget
message. suggested that the vet
Grams home building squeeze could
be eased by bringing the CT rate
level to that of the FILA.
If his request should be granted
and it will face strenuous re-
sistance-it would be the second
CT loan rate increase since he
took Office. In May. 1853, Congress
increased the rate from per cent.
A 5 per cent rate would represent
Is per cent increase over the
pre-l953 level. when incidentally.
home construction costs were 1872
per cent lower than they now are.
Actually. the Veterans Admins
tration now is holding in a tight
fist 1898 million of direct home loan
authority it still has uncommitted.
The VA may be directed to make
this available to veterans who can't
find home loans, but such a step
would provide only a temporary
solution.

Labor Probe:
No Answers

The Senate Investigating Sub
committee last week began a full
scale attack on racketeering in some
labor unions. It's targets included
diversions of union welfare funds
for personal purposes. tie-ins with
gangSters, and collision between
employers and union bosses.
Some of the first questions were
directed at officials of the big Inter-
national Brotherhood of Transfers
from whence came also the first
refusals to answer.
Einar o Mohn, executive vice
president of the Transfers. willing
ly gave his name and address to
the Senators and then clammed up.
Mr. Mohn said he had searched and
searched but just could not find
any justification for the commit
tees assumption that it had any
right Ito go into these matters"
Yesterday, the investigators said
they had allegations of misuse of
funds against Dave Beck. president
of the teamsters. Mr.. Beck failed
to show up at the hearing because,
he said, of doctors orders.
Senator Mcclellan of Arkansas,
chairman of the subcommittee has
said that his staff has enough
material to keep the hearings GO
ing for months. He will have help
not only from the Justice Depart
ment. but also from the AFL-CIO,
which for some time has been try
ing to do house-cleaning job in
its constituent unions.
Among other unions to be heard
from will be three that face sus-
pension from AFL-CIO because of
charges of improper handling of
welfare money-the Allied In
dustrial Workers. the Oistillery
Workers and the Laundry Workers.
When the committee winds up
its investigation. it is expected to
ask that Hartley law loop
holes which permit thievery Of
union funds be closed. AS it now
stands. once union has complied
with the Taft-Hartley law in set
ting up its funds, the Justice De-
partment cannot move in when the
stealing starts. Such prosecutions
are possible only under State anti
embeZzlement laws.

Polish Election:
Red Concern

The Gomulka-led Red Polish
regime. seemingly concerned by the
progress made by the political "op-

Chou En-lai visit as a springboard
for a massive propaganda drive
to elect the preferred" list of the

out the country had been marked
by indifference on the one hand and
caustic criticism on the other. Since

the Communist Party bosses grew

THE WORLD SCENE
The Doctrine:
World Reacts

The Eisenhower Doctrine"-the
administrations plan for a Middle
East policy extending the carrot
of economic aid to have-not nations
while brandishing military big
stick at Russia--held the worlds
attention last week.
Here at home 1t found influential
and somewhat unexpected Demo-
cratic support. In the Middle East
it encountered cautious interest,
suspicion and hostility. Among
Americas Western allies there was
reserved approval. And in the
Communist world even as the ma
chinery of denunciation got into
high gear there were indications
that this new element in the inter-
national picture had the Kremlin
worried.
The Democratic support came
from former President Truman.
and House Speaker Rayburn. In
a published article, Mr.. Truman
favored early and no-strings ap-
prevail of the Presidents plan by
Congress. The proposal seems to
fit the former Presidents concept
of forceful and proper leadership
by the Chief Executive (See article
by Mr.. Truman on Page A-28). Mr..
Rayburn gave his full support to
