t Fifty-three of the nation’s lead
ing economists say a “radical re
duction” in government spending
is the first step that should be
taken to combate inflation, and
thirty-eight of them put tax re
duction as the second step. The
President is advocating more gov
ernment spending. He is against
any real tax reduction. He would
give each individual a $40 tax cut

South Prepares i
To Fight Civil
Rights Program
(By Jack Bell)
Washington, (/T*) — The civil
rights war within Democratic
ranks raged unabated yesterday,
fired by a new attack of southern
governors on the party’s high
command.
Four Dixie governors, fresh
from a meeting with national
chairman J. Howard McGrath,
promised to use “whatever means
are necessary’’ to block President
Truman’s race equality program.
As a clear indication of what
they have in mind, the four de
clared in a formal statement:
“The southern states are arous
ed and the present leadership of
the Democratic party will soon
realize tha' the south is no longer
‘in the bag’.”
Despite his blast, McGrath ap
peared to feel that he* had made
some headway against the south
land revolt.
He told a news conference he
gained the impression that the
meeting “resulted in good under
standing.” He added that he hopes
it will “lessen the split in the
party.”
During the get-together, Mc
Grath said he, for one, appreciates
the south’s loyalty to the party.

Force May Be Used
To Keep Peace
In Palestine
I
(By Max Harrelson)
LAKE SUCCESS, </P)—*The U.
S. yesterday declared its readiness
to consult on creation of an inter
national force for Palestine if the
United Nations security council
voted for such a force.
The United States specified that
any U. N. force must be “directed
to keeping the peace and not to
enforcing partition” of the Holy
Land.
The U. S. position on the vital ,
Palestine problem was laid before
the security council by chief
American delegate Warren R.
Austin.
“If the security council should
decide that it is necessary to use
armed force in maintaining inter
national peace in connection with
Palestine,” Austin said, “the
United would be ready to consult
under the charter with a view to
such action as may be necessary to
maintain international peace.”
He declared that such consulta
tion would be necessary in view of
the fact that no agreements have
yet been reached by U. N. mem
bers as to how armed forces
should be made available for
peace enforcement.
