! “Recession Will
; Relief
i 1 o consumers”
WASHINGTON, <,P)_The Pres
ident of the United States cham
ber of commerce said yesterday
hat a “recession from postwar
peaks” of business is inevitable.
He added that it will bring “over
due relief to millions of consum
er,
Earl O. Shrove, in the keynote
address of the chamber’s 37th an
nual meeting, also told some 2,500
i business leaders:
“When the current readjustment
has run its course, and buying for
i n ventory replacement revives,
business should find itself on a
sounder and infinitely more satis
factory basis.”
The shut to a ‘ more solid and
orderly pattern of prosperity” will
be blocked or delayed, Shreve
said, if the government raises
taxes and lays down economic
controls—as proposed by Presi
dent Truman—or embarks on a
policy of in-the-red financing.
“It is self-evident to all think
ing men,” he declared, “that the
federal budget should be balanced
through the economy in spending
I —not through higher taxes.”
Two other speakers at the first
general session of the four-day
meeting offered plans to bulwark
prosperity, at home and abroad:
B u s i n e s smen should give
“prompt attention to the task of
pricing consumers back into the
market” by lowering prices and
bringing out new products, said
Harry A. Bullis, board chairman
of General Mills, Inc., Minneapo
lis.
A price decline is “naturlal and
inevitable,” Bullis said—“we are
laying the groundwork for a long
and sustained rise in the living
standard of America.”
And a Canadian, president Hen
ry C. Birks, of the Canadian cham
ber of commerce, Montreal, pro
posed an “ABC” committee of
American, British and Canadian
businessmen to labor for the free
ing of world trade from currency
and other trade barriers.

bill in the cooler.
They succeeded in getting the
needed margin although there was
one more vote cast today than in

The motion to recommit was
supported by 193 Democrats. 18
Republicans and one American
Labor member.
Voting against recommittal
were 62 Democrats and 147 Re

The outcome served to take
some of the sting from the rebuff
handed to President Truman by
yesterday's vote. He had v made
Taft-Hartley repeal a key point of
his re-election campaign and—af
ter yesterday’s Maneuvering — it
appeared the administration could
not put it over.
Today’s vote salvaged another
chance some time in the future.
Rep. Priest iD.-Tenn.), the Dem
ocrat "whip” or assistant leader,
had the job of rounding up the
needed votes for the over-night
shift.
Before the ballot, even he ap
peared to be uncertain whether the
administration could win. Priest
would say only that there appear
ed to be a "fair chance.”

free today on $5,000 bond pending
a fall term of the grand jury.

A coroner’s jury Monday called
the death “excusable homicide.”
Testimony brought out that
Johnson “went into the alley to
settle the matter" reluctantly dur
