Page Two NEVADA CITY NUGGET Tuesday, July 26, 1949 WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Atlantic Pact Called War-Breeder: Truman Decries Economic ‘Gloom’; Committee Slashes Funds for ERP Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) (EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those o* REUTHER: Still on Top With red-thatched, fiery Walter Reuther still at the helm, the United Auto Workers union, numbering some million members, could be expected to hold firm in any demands made for wage increases or social benefits. : BRUSHING aside token opposition from UAW’s left wing elements, Reuther was elected to a third term as UAW president by a top-heavy majority. The. voting which reelected Reuther was a new triumph for the right-wing forces in the union which catapulted him into office in 1946 and rewarded him with control of the other international offices and the board at the 1947 convention. His new term will expire in. April, 1951. UAW DELEGATES moved into the election of top officers after hearing Leon Keyserling, of President Truman’s. council of economic advisers, tell them that ‘‘as a general proposition the kind of wage policy which will help maintain full employment in this country, Mosquito Net Saves Two From Charging Elephant LONDON.—An elephant stampede was described in Salisbury by Capt. and Mrs. Bertie Celliers, Rhodesian hunters. They came upon tracks of elephants which natives said had been wrecking their huts. : The couple camped at night atop a high knoll and hung their double mosquito net frum a tree. Thinking they were safe, they left their rifles 30 yards away. Awakened at dawn by a bull elephant heading straight toward them, they fled. They saw the animal tear their net from the tree with his trunk. It got entangled in bis tusks and swung over his head. Terrified, he rushed back to his herd, but his ghostly appearance so scared them that they crashed away in panic. The faster he ran the faster they fled. They ran 18 miles.

Taft was not without support in his’ conception of the pact’s potentialities. Five senators jumped to their feet, to applaud his remarks, and some 12 or 15 senators were applauding at the end. . Dhis was construed by some observers as indicating the extent of the opposition. Taft was not wholly against the pact, despite his ringing denunciation. He asserted that, even now, he would be willing to change his ‘mind if a reservation could be incorporated into ratificationmaking plain that the treaty did not bind America to furnish arms, Said Taft: ‘‘There is no question that the arms program and the treaty were negotiated together. There is no question in my mind that foreign nations which signed the treaty regarded the \providing of arms as an essential part of it . . if we ratify the pact \and fail to furnish the military aid, I believe we will at once be accused of repudiation; and the pact will be completely, discredited.”’ ERP FUNDS: Slash Voted There appeared to be a change of sentiment regarding aid _ to Marshall plan countriés. The senate appropriations committee had voted to slash 10 per cent from second-year funds asked for the activity. The committee also tied up 50
of its workers. U.S. ECONOMY: Truman Concedes While there was some measure ‘of contradiction in concept, President Truman, in his message to congress on the economic state of the nation had conceded that recession forces were alive. However, in a neat bit of linguistic _maneuvering, he declared the current situation one in which the national economy was in orderly retreat from a serious inflation. At the same time, however paradoxical the warning might seem, he declared that there could be no “greater economic folly’’ than an attempt to balance the federal budget in a “declining national . economy.”’ He highlighted the contradiction by adding that such a move would only aggravate the _ recession forces against which his new policy was directed. OF CHIEF INTEREST in his report was his abandonment of an earlier plan to demand four billion dollars in additional taxes. He lightly dismissed this _fonmer policy with the statement: ‘‘No major increase in taxes should be undertaken at this time.’’ Instead, he proposed liberalization of allowances for past losses in computing income taxes and increasing estate and gift taxes. The President’s obvious reversal of policy was held to be little less pronounced than the findings of “CONGRATULATIONS JOE” . .

To top it all, he was named for the all-star game. ‘in the field. tion of economic power.” CLARK APPEARED very much disturbed by the situation and let go both barrels in his shots at big business as he testified in a congresional investigation into monopolistic practices. He termed business monoply an “economic blackjack’? and urged that the federal government get busy doing something about it. He told a house judiciary subcommittee that most people were victims of three erroneous assumptions, He listed them as: 1. Assumption that competition continues to thrive as long as there are at least two or three or four 2. Assumption that the bigger the producer the better the quality of the goods and the cheaper the price to the public. 3. Assumption that companies become big because they deserve to be big—in other words, that they outdistance their competitors because they do a better job, render a greater service, or furnish better goods, : CLARK DECLARED he did not share any of these assumptions. Continuing his testimony before the committee, he said: “The fundamental issue is whether the economy of this country is to remain free and competitive, or whether it is to be subjected to private regimentation through monopoly control.” R Under Fire NUN EAN, Stop that terrible craving in from 2 to 5 days.
