Truman Gave
GOP Congress No
Co-operation
.I, - [
(By Jack Bell)
LOS ANGELES, — Senator
Taft <R.-Ohio> promised yesterday
that the GOP-controlled Congress
will enact a new public welfare
program if the nation's voters re
place President Truman with a
Republican in the 1948 election.
The Ohio Senator told a town
hall audience that his colleagues
in Congress now are “loath to pro
ceed with any program of this
kind, if the initial setting up of
the program is assumed by the
present administration, which still
believes in the concentration of all
power in Washington.”
In a review of what he called
the accomplishments of the 80th
Congress, Taft said his party be
lieves that it “should proceed with
a program of public welfare,” but
added that it was “opposed to
measures which in effect give the
government control and regula
tion over the field of health, hous
ing and education.”
Taft, who heads the Senate Re
publican policy committee, com
plained that President Truman
had given the GOP Congress “no
co-operation.”
“Occasionally, of course, our
views coincided,” he said, “but if
they did not do so there was no
effort on the part of the President
or his advisors to sit down with
us and work out a satisfactory
compromise. We were expected to
do the co-operating.”
Taft Proposes
Freezing Wages
And Prices
SAN FRANCISCO (/P)—Senator
Taft »R.-Ohfo) proposed today that
the nation act to level off prices
and wages at a point 50 to 60 per
cent above that of 1939.
In a politically-important ad
dress prepared for delivery he~e
before the Commonwealth club,
the Ohio senator asserted that
prices must come down and that
high wages can be maintained
only through increased productiv
ity per man.
Accusing President Truman of
following a policy of “planned in
flation,” Taft said that, neverthe
less, “the fundamental reason for
high prices is the tremendous In
come of the American people to
day due to full employment and
high wages.”
Arguing that “abnormal em
ployment” resulting from the
present high rate of exports and
accumulated domestic dem and
“will undoubtedly taper off,” the
chairman of the Senate’s Republi
can policy committee said me
country had better act to keep this
change of pace gradual.
“I believe we may as well rec
ognize that prices are permanent
ly up above prewar prices,” he
said. “Since both wages and prices
have risen—wages on the whole
more than prices—we had better
work toward a stabilization of
wages and prices at some new
level, perhaps 50 or 60 per cent
over 1939.”

Alaska Not Land of
Milk And Honey
For Cheecliakos
SEATTLE. </P)—Frank L. Oli
ver of Juneau, assistant attorney
general for Alaska, declared here
today that Alaska is definitely
not the land of milk and honey for
the inexperienced homesteader or
the business man without a great
deal of capital.
“There is plenty of room in
Alaska for development, either by
government or private capital,” he
added. “But until that develop
ment is actually started Alaska
really is no place for newcomers
from the States.
“Publicity about the opening of
certain areas to pulp mills has
brought many to Alaska. But this'
phase of Alaska development is
only in the planning stage and of
fers nothing for job seekers.
“Wages in some cases are quite
' high,” he continued, “but they are
more than offset by the high cost
of living. Increased freight rates,
a general lack of adequate trans
portation and shipping strikes cur
j rentlv are proving almost ruinous
to Alaska’s economic life.’
Grain Speculations
To Be Controlled
' WASHINGTON. (TP)—Bad news
for grain speculators shaped up,
! in two branches of the government
yesterday amid mounting concern j
over food and other prices.
On Capitol Hill, chairman Hope
j <R.-Kas.> of the House agriculture
| committee declared that unless
| the nation’s commodity exchanges
; themselves apply the brakes to the
kind of trading blamed for sky
rocketing food prices, then Con- (
gress “should and must” impose.
its own restraints.
Within the administration. '
President Truman's cabinet com
mittee on food appears headed for
a decision to clamp a sharply,
lower ceiling on grain exports for
the months immediately ahead,
j Officials believe such a step would !
take some of the wind out of the
i speculative sails.

WAA SIMPLIFIES
VETS PURCHASING
OF SURPLUS
The War Assets Administration
regulations pertaining to the pur
chase of surplus personal proper
ty by veterans for use in their
own small business, professional
or agricultural enterprise have
been revised. The new procedure
is designed to speed up disposals
to veterans and to eliminate the
presale-certification red tape.
With the exception of industrial
equipment, airplanes, laundry
equipment, and farm equipment,
it is no longer necessary for a vet
eran to be certified prior to a sale.
Under the new procedure the vet
eran is only required to show a
copy of his release from the mili
tary service at the sale and to sign
an ownership statement.
A special form has been design
ed to be used when a veteran de
sires to purchase by mail. This is
not a form for blanket use but will
be attached to each copy of future
sales lists issued and will apply to
the particular sale.
Under the new procedure all
awards at sales will be made on a
“First Come—First Served” basis
with those veterans present and
veterans with mail orders on hand
in the WAA office at the opening
hour of the sale considered to be
“First Come.” Awards will no
longer be made on the basis of the
oldest date of certification.
This system will provide a one
stop service at sales and will thus
save the veteran considerable time
in purchasing surplus property.
Future sales will as in the past be
advertised through the newspa
pers in order that all veterans
might be well informed of equip
ment available for sale.
No change has been made in
“Set Aside” sales. When vehicles
or office equipment is offered at a
“Set Aside” sale it is only required
that the veteran show a copy of
his release from the military serv
ice to establish eligibility as a
veteran.
grain speculation topped a four
point program he outlined in a
statement pointing to the “possi
bility of ruinous inflation at home
and want, starvation and political
chaos abroad.”
