saving democracy, his military
aide partly nullified this talk—
and money—by accepting a high
decoration from a military dicta
tor who has ridiculed all the
things that Truman talks about.”
Mr. Truman made no reference
to Pearson in his brief talk. The ,
columnist had this comment:
“If Mr. Truman is trying to dis- ;
courage the right of fair comment, j
then he, too, has another think |
coming.”
NEW YORK, {#*) — The presi
dent of the international council,
of Christian churches said today
that President Truman’s language
at a dinner in Washington last
night was “an offense against
Christian people.”
The Rev. Carl McIntyre, pi'esi
dent of the Council, called on the
President to “apologize to the
American people” in a telegram
sent to the White House.
The International Council, a
theologically conservative body
unaffiliated with the World Coun- ,
cil of Churches, includes 61 Pro
testant groups from 29 countries.
In this country it claims a mem
bership of about 1,500,000 in 15
denominations.
ASKS CONGRESS TO TIGHTEN
TAFT-HARTLEY LAW
WASHINGTON, </P)—A mining
industry official Saturday de
nounced what he called a “com
munist-dominated” CIO union and
urged Congress to tighten the
Taft-Hartley law’s anti-commun
ist provision.
Howard I .Young, president of
the American Mining Congress,
identified the CIO union as the
international mine, mill and smel- i
ter workers. He told the Senate
labor committee: '
“Our country is spending bil
lions of dollars in an endeavor to
prevent communism from spread
ing beyond the iron curtain. We
surely should not be remiss in our
endeavors to prevent communism
from further infiltrating into our
labor unions.”

Four Dead From
Salt Substitute
CHICAGO, (A*)—Four persons
have died recently, the American
Medical Association says, after
using lithium chloride, a substi
tute for common table salt, in sea
soning foods.
The U. S .Food and Drug Ad
ministration has ordered the
chemical withdrawn from the
market. The administration asked
all persons who have purchased it
to “stop using this dangerous poi
son at once.”
Three of the deaths occurred in
Cleveland and one in Ann Arbor,
Mich., the AMA said. “There is
one case in Baltimore that’s sus
picious,” it said, but F. A. Karff,
Baltimore food control director,
said he did not know of any ill
nesses there resulting from the
chemical. He added the lithium
substitute “is used quite frequent
ly when ordinary salt is forbid
den.” Common table salt is sodium
chloride.
Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of
the AMA Journal, said the sub
stance “is highly poisonous if a
person is on a salt restricted diet.
The lithium in such cases is re
tained in the body and causes the
poisoning.’
Dr. Fishbein said the AMA did
not know how widely the product
has been distributed.

Congress Not Com
mittal On Social
Security Program
'Confined from Page One)
noposition on the bill.
The program calls for an in
crease in payroll taxes from the
present $1,800,000,000 for old age
and survivors insurance, to about
$6,000,000,000.
It would boost individual pay
roll taxes 100 per cent or more.
The tax on a person making
$4,800 or more could be increased
from a top of $30 to $96 a year.
The expanded insurance pro
gram could cover a total of 50,
000,000 persons.
Members of Congress said they
had no idea how far the unprece
dented “home relief” program
could go or what they overall cost
would be.
Under this phase, the maximum
payment in which the federal
government would partici pate
would be $50 a month for one per
son; $50 for the first additional
person in a home, and $30 for
each additional person. States
would contribute 40 to 75 per cent
of the cost, according to state
wealth.
Rep. Taber <R.-N. Y.‘, who
guided appropriation bills when
Republicans controlled Congress,
had this to say:
“As far as the social security
act goes, if the people want to tax
themselves double, that’s one
thing; but I’m not in favor of tax
ing the people generally to pay
any more gratuities to anybody
unless it is a direct obligation of
the government.”
Other members of Congress,
talking informally, expressed
particular doubt as to the enact
ment of the home relief program.
Bear Eats Honey;
Must State Pay?
SACRAMENTO, Calif. i/P) —
Such damage as caused by a cow’s
kicking a car and a bull’s goring
an airplane, the state of Califor
nia will pay.
But the state wants more infor
mation before it pays for honey
eaten by a bear.
Approved by the state board of
control were: $7.10 for the tail
light of a private car kicked by a
cow in the Folsom prison parking’
lot; $213 for damage to a plane
when a bull wandered onto a Cal
ifornia Polytechnic school landing
strip.
The Miller Honey company
wants $631 for honey it says i.
bear—a ward of the state—ate on
a ranch near San Bernardino. The
board decided to investigate fur
