garage and a mattress factory,
guilty and sent him off to prison
for 45 years. ,

—fix it so Howard could not get
a pardon or parole. But Circuit

Gov’t Spending ,
Can Lead To U. S. I
Socialization
_
(By H. C. Johnson)
NEW YORK, (fl>»—The nation's
industrial leaders were warned to
day that government spending and
control of economy may bring un
employmen’, insolvency, socialism
and even insurrection to the
United States.
Two businessmen told the 5Srd
annual Congress of American In
dustry, sponsored by the National
Association of Manufacturers, that
what they termed federal interfer
ence in the national economy had
left the country deep in political
uncertainty.
At the same session of the j
NAM’s first national assembly
since the Democratic election vic
tory last month, Rep. Brown (R.
Ohio> hinted that the postoffice1
department is one of the chief tar
gets of the bi-par.tisan commission
now s'udying government reorgan
ization. ,
The three-day NAM meeting
ends tonight when secretary of
commerce Sawyer will speak.
Lane D. Webber, Los Angeles
utility official, said at yesterday
morning’s session that continued
federal spending on the present
scale, “not to mention proposed in
; creases, will surely produce in
solvency. destruction of private
enterprise, confusion and insur
rection—resulting in some form of
socialism.”
“If only the people could know
our country is infested with siz
able elements who strive to de
grade us into socilaism by govern
ment spending, taxation and infla
tion—the inseparable trinity of
tragedy,” said Webber, who is
[vice-president of the Southern
California Edison company.
Joseph Morrel Dodge of Detroit,
former president of the American
Bankers association, said that be
cause of increased government
control over the American econ
omy. the country is plagded by a
j shortage of risk capital.
| Risk capital is lacking. Dodge
said, because of a declining sav
ings rate, an artificcally low in
terest rate and the absence of new
equity capital.

Truman Hushes Up
Budget Talk
(By Elton C. Fay)
WASHINGTON. f/P) — On in
structions from the White House,
the armed forces have ordered all
personnel to stop talking about the
effect of the proposed budget on
the military.
The fact that President Truman
has stepped in to shut off such
talk was disclosed today when the
air force issued a statement which
said:
“The air force is circulating to
all air force personnel the letter
from President Truman which di
rected that extreme caution be ex
ercised in statements on items
which may be included in the bud
get and legislative programs.”
It was learned the secretaries of
the army and navy have sent sim
ilar instructions to personnel un
der them.
The White House move came in
the wake of publication of views
by the individual services on the
effect of the President’s proposed
$15,000,000,000 ceiling for the mil
itary b udget.
