European Aid
Means Inflation
Or Higher Taxes
WASHINGTON, </P>—Help for
Europe confronts this country
•with the choice between higher
taxes or greater inflation, Rep.
Crawford <R.-Mich.> declared to
day.
At the same time, Sen. O’Ma
honey (D.-Wyo.) called for a new
excess profits levy as one ap
proach to the twin problem Con
gress will confront next month of
curbong high prices at home while
working out a multi-billion-dollar
European recovery program.
A Republican leadership deci
sion on whether to press a third
tax reduction bill at the Novem
ber 17 session was delayed, mean
while. by the illness of Rep. Knut
son <R.-Minn.>.
Knutson, chairman of the tax
writing House ways and means
committee had been scheduled to
confer yesterday with Senator
Taft <R.-Ohio>, head of the Sen
ate’s GOP policy i committee, on
the Minnesotan’s previously an
nounced determination to make
tax-cutting a top priority issue be
fore Congress.
Taft also favors lower income
Hughes' Giant
Flying Boat
To Be Tested *
LOS ANGELES. (A') — On the
eve of a reopening Congressional
inquiry, Howard Hughes plans to
make a big splash.
The wealthy planemaker said
his 200-ton flying boat with the
320-foot wingspread will undergo
water tests. The Brewster com
mittee’s hearings are slated to re
open Monday.
Hughes — emphasizing that the
ship probably will not fly until
next spring—announced that the
tractor and tugs will haul the
winged giant from its dock and on
Sunday he personally will cruise
around the harbor on taxi tests.
Taxi speeds up to 80 miles an
hour are expected to produce data ;
on airflow and water character- i
istics of the behemoth. Flying the
boat, claims Hughes, “will be like
learning to fly all over again.”

at a news conference yesterday
just when the lawmakers might
get around to a reduction bill.
Crawford, however, asser ted
that it no longer is a question of
cutting taxes but of hiking them.
National Housing
Expeditor Resigns
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Frank R.
Creedon resigned today as na
tional housing expeditor.
In a letter of resignation, Cree
don advised President Truman
that he was leaving the govern
ment to take charge of a large
construction program in connec
tion with the development of
atomic energy. No details were
given.
When making the letter public,
the White House announced that
Tigue E. Woods has been namel
acting housing expeditor. He has
been a deputy under Creedon.
Woods, a native of Chicago and
a graduate of Notre Dame, en
tered government service in 1942
as OPA rent examiner in the Chi
cago regional office. Later he be
came deputy housing expeditor
for rent control.
Creedon, who managed the con
struction of the Oak Ridge (Tenn.*
atomic energy project, wrote the
President:
“I weighed carefully in my
mind which would render the
greater public service, my present
assignment or the help that I could
contribute in expediting the atom
ic energy program.”
He said he had concluded he
he could be more helpful in the
latter field.
i Cannery, Connner
cial Freight Rates
Vastly Different
SEATTLE (/P)—The importance
of Alaska canned salmon traffic
' to steamship cqrgo revenues was
j described by J. D. Nelson, Alaska
j Steamship company freight traffic
, manager, at the maritime com
i mission rate hearing.
Nelson, on the stand most of
i yesterday afternoon under cross
I examination by Territorial repre
sentatives, was asked to explain
why Alaska fisheries products are i
carried for $14 a ton while gro
ceries and other commercial pro
ducts move under an average rate
, of $27 a ton.
“Salmon moves under a special
industry rate because it is one of
the Territory’s chief products,’’ he
said. “Without cannery business
commercial shipping rates prob
ably would have to be 100 per
cent higher.”
Canned salmon, he said, com
prised “virtually all of the south
bound cargo movement” and can
nery supplies are an important
northbound item at certain sea
sonal periods.
Malcolm Miller, one of thef Ter
ritory’s counsel, said the differ
ence between cannery freight and i
commercial commodity rates were
, “unfair differentials.”
OH, DIANA! _ That’s Different
