Retrenching Would Combat Inflation
President Truman, leading an economy-minded Democratic Administration, has urged all Federal departments and agencies to reduce their expenditures in the next 12 months to the lowest possible level, in an all-out effort to combat inflation. Special instructions on specific programs were sent to the Secretaries of War and Navy and the Chairman of the Maritime Commission to reduce their expenditures substantially below the amounts they had planned for this fiscal year. TYlr. iTuman said that Federal works must also be curtailed. Agencies concerned with public works were asked to keep their programs within specified limit. As President Truman explains,
“Inflation is our greatest domestic problem. Budgetary policies have become a major weapon to fight the kind of boom and bust which followed World War I.” These recommendations have been made with a view to balancing the Federal budget. Such a
inflation measure:

means “defeat” for the people. For both these men crossed Party lines to vote with the Democrats on all great liberal issues. It is also one more very definite indication that the Party, headed by the reactionary Carroll Reece as national GOP chairman, is practically certain to choose a reactionary of the Taft-Bricker type as Presidential candidate in 1948, and to run him on a straight-out reactionary-isolation-
ist platform.
HIGHER RENTS (Continued From Page One) cases in which OPA approves • rent increases. j Landlords who continue to collect rents in excess of legal amounts must return overcharges to their tenants or stand in violation of federal law and subject to OPA enforcement action. However. OPA has no authority to require landlords rental amounts in excess of the ceilings charged for the period between July 1 to July 25. Evictions Stopped. OPA’s eviction controls go back into effect and apply to all landlords except those who have actually evicted their tenants during the nation’s OPA-less period, July 1 through July 25. In cases where landlords have applied for an eviction through their local courts but their tenants are still occupying the premises, formal eviction application must again be made thorugh OPA local rent offices. Only landlords who complied with all OPA requirements and obtained an eviction judgment in local courts during the interim may proceed to evict and still remain within the law. Terms of all leases signed in the interim which conflict with OPA rent controls also are void. Landlords who collected security deposits from tenants through July 25 will have until August 26 to make refunds. OPA rent regulations prohibit such de-
posits.
In resuming operations, OPA stressed again that tenants should check immediately with local OPA headquarters if they have been asked to pay higher rent or vacate their living quar-
ters.
Editors Plan Fall Meet Plans are shaping up for the meeting of the Indiana, Democratic Editorial Association, September 13th and 14th. This is expected to be one of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings in a campaign year for some time. The French Lick Springs Hotel is planning on a large crowd; if you have not already made your reservations we suggest that you do so soon. The tentative program includes entertainment Friday night by the Indiana Young Democrats Clubs followed by other entertainment and dancing. At 9:00 o’clocH Saturday morning members of the Association will hold a breakfast meeting and there will be other groups having programs, or just enjoying the resort hotel. On Saturday afternoon the men will be free to do whatever they please. The women will be guests at an Illustrated Style Talk which will be presented by The Fashion Bureau of L. S. Ayres & Company of Indianapolis. The banquet Saturday night at 6:30 is sure to provide plenty of oratory,—but not too much,—to give the campaign a real send-off. A part of the program will be broadcast. Complete announcement of this part of the meeting will not be made until a few days prior to the banquet. The hotel management is making a. special rate of $9.50 per person. This not only includes the three meals each day but for those staying at the hotel Saturday includes the banquet Saturday night. Single tickets for the banquet are $3.00 each. Reservations for the banquet must be made hot later than September 10th. Reservations for rooms in the hotel will bn booked as received until no more rooms are available. The hotel is on Central Standard and the program is all Standard Time. Dress will be informal.

ATOM CARTELS (Continued From Page One) A similar handicap to the Nation threatening its security, might develop in the years ahead thtrough the formation and spread of atomic energy cartels if this epoch-making discovery is taken out of Federal control and subjected to the same influences that throttled production of vital materials before World War II. In the Congressional debate the point was made that the only way to assure secrecy for the safety of the Nation was to keep patent rights on the application of atomic energy in the control of the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion.
Despite this argument, many Repeublicans—outstanding among ' them Congressmen J. Parnell Thomas, of New Jersey, Daniel A. Reed, of New York, and Forrest A. Harness, of Indiana—appeared willing to risk the Nation’s 'security in this respect rather than withhold atomic energy production from the exclu- | sive grasp of interests engaged
for private profit. F. D. D/s Decision.

ly and frequently this great mass audience medium can prove to be the determining factor in
many close contests.
It is probable that the candi-
date can reach a greater audience for his important campaign message by the use of radio, than by employing any other single medium. But perhaps even more important than the size of the audience is the attitude of the cudience. By means of radio your Democratic candidate becomes a guest in thousands of homes throughout his district and state. He can discuss the issues of the election with small groups of two or three people, relaxed and comfortable in their homes. Under such circumstances your candidate will talk to the voters and explain the issues, discuss what has been accomplished and what
is planned for the futui’e. In many conversations and in
many meetings held with the Democratic candidates in Washington and throughout the country a tremendous interest has been shown by them in the use of radio in their campaign. These leaders in the political life of our country will use radio to the utmost. They will use it wisely and well. They will carry their cause to the voters in many broadcast talks. They will drive home the issues with speeches, dramas, spot announcements and
GOP stalling tactics were successful in strangling the Wagner-Ellender-Taft Housing bill, passed in the Senate last April. With the adjournment of Congress, the bill will have to be reintroduced when the new Congress convenes. There is little doubt that had not Republican members of the House Banking and Currency Committee bottled the bill up in committee, it would have passed had it reached the floor of the House. But, even though the bill is necessary to provide adequate housing for veterans, and was designed to put the housing industry on a firm and going basis for a long period of years, Republican Representatives Crawford of Michigan, Buffett of Nebraska and Smith of Ohio invoked long-dormant parliamentary tricks and rules to kill the bill as far as the 79th Congress went. Real estate lobbyists smiled their support of these tactics. The two tricks employed to strangle the bill haven’t been used in 18 years, according to Representative Brent Spence, Democrat of Kentucky, chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee. One rule permits any member to call for an adjournment if less than a quorum of the committee is present. The other rule, al-
most obsolete, is that only’the
Democratic Administration leaders in the Nation’s Capital. As part of the publicity-radio division’s effort to assist the Democratic candidates a comprehensive memorandum on the proper use of radio time was prepared by experts in the field and sent to each Congressional candidate and State Chairman. This material listed suggestions and guides for the candidate in purchasing broadcast time and how to use the time to the utmost
Ways and Means Committee can meet when the House is in ses-
sion.
If either of these rules were
honored other than in the breach, Congress would find it hard to get
much work accomplished. Twice these rules were invoked
to prevent Senator Taft, dominant Republican figure in the Senate, from testifying, and Taft didn’t like it. Taft, one of the authors of the bill, accepted an invitation
when it was secured. The re- i t 0 testify on the measure, and had sponse to^this memorandurn has ! bar ei y started his testimony when
been most gratifying. Your Democratic candidates are aware of the value of radio in reaching the voters and this means that your party leaders will carry the fight to the people effectively and dra-
Fate Undecided
Decision by Governor Gates to call a special session of the Indiana General Assembly is still being awaited and discussed among state officials. The apparent necessity for a special increased welfare allotments by the federal government effective on October 1st. It is believed that changes in our state laws will have to be made in order that Indiana might accept such increased grants. Hesitancy on the part of the governor to call such a special session of the state legislators is believed by many to be due to a fear that too many older issues may come up in the Republicancontrolled assembly to make it embarrassing for the GOP during this coming campaign. Although the governor and his aides have held complete control over the past tvyo legislative sessions and succeeded in passing laws at their will, there is a large group of GOP lawmakers today who would welcome the chance to withdraw its former support of numerous state enactments such as the strong-smelling liquor control act. No doubt the governor and his cohorts would leave well enough alone, especially so close to another election and would prefer not taking a chance with a legislative session now. Cause for the special session would pave the way for increased payments of old-age assistance, blind pensions and aid to dependent children. A large portion of such allotments are paid by the federal government to each state while a part is provided by the state and the balance through local communities. These increased benefits may be sacrificed in favor of a protection against political hazards of Governor Gates
Republican Crawford objected decides not to call the special sesthat a quorum was not present, sian of state legislators.

Editor Finds Twin Melons Not Rare
Dinuba, Cal.—Editor Bill Locke of the Dinuba Sentinel has conceded his news judgment on some agricultural products grown in his area may not be so good. Several weeks ago he printed a picture of an “unusual” Siamese twin melon. Since then twin cantaloupes, twin watermelons and twin muskmelons have periodically loaded his desk. His comment on the situation: “The Sentinel is no longer willing to contend that such things are unusual in this district.”
measure to give the government control, it was pointed out that the government, acting for the oeople, had invested $3,000,000 in the atom bomb, first application of the principle of atomic energy. This vast undertaking was the result of a decision of the late President Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
None of the scientists who participated in the development of this anplication of atomic en(ergy holds a patent right connected directly with it. Thus the argument that private paten rishts are the only means of nroviding incentive for the development of atomic energy falls down at the very start. The argument of the Democratic spokesmen in the House pointed out that while compensation could be made by the government to inventors of future peacetime applications of atomic energy, the security aspect of this discovery was so vital that past practices would have to be set aside. The Renublican party already has committed itself to the opposite stand. In its platform, if it carries a plank on atomic energy at all, it would have to come out for private ownership of patentrights on atomic energy, and all that this means is the subordination of public benefit to the interests of private profit. It must take such a stand or repudiate the action which its Congressional leaders have already taken on this question. o ENLARGE DENVER AIRPORT Denver.—Denver city officials have approved a plan to enlarge the municipal airport by 500 acres, making east and west runways 10,000 feet long.
campaign of your Democratic candidate is most important. You can assist first, by heloing to raise money for the purchase of radio time so that your candidate can present the facts of the election frequently and effectively in many broadcast messages. Second, learn the schedule of broadcasts by time, date and station so that you can tell your friends about them. Urge them to listen to your candidate as he presents his case, Issue by issue, and point by point. Build additional audiences for your Democratic candidate. Remember. the more people he can talk with via radio, the greater the number of voters at the polls on November 5. And in that achievement lies victory.

Every day, one half of the population of the United States rides on one or more of the nation’s 89*240 street cars, trackless trolley
coaches or gas buses.
The committee broke up and Taft stalked angrily back to his Sen-
ate office.
Next day, Taft appeared again. This time Republican Buffet looked at his watch, announced it was 11 o’clock and since the House had just gone into session, the hearing would have to end. This time Taft was really sore, and went to Republican Minority Leader Joe Martin and complained. Martin shrugged his shoulders, said so what, and the
rules continued to be used.
The once friendly relationship between Martin and Taft has
reached the chill point.
And while these obstructionist tactics were being employed, a nation in desperate need of housing waited, and will have to wait another full year, in all likeli- ,
