Dismisses Talk Os Coming Depression Terms Depression Talk As Malicious: WASHINGTON, UP —Laurence F. Lee, nfew chairman of the V. S. Chamber of Commerce, today dismissed talk of a forthcoming business depression as “malicious propaganda.” I He told a reporter there is “absolutely no reason why peace in Korea should bring on anything approaching a depression.” If peace comes, he said, the government’s defense spending will be cut down, and taxes can. also lie “thus releasing money tor business end the public to spend.” Lee was elevated to chamber chairman today. Richardi L. Bowditch, of Boston, was elected* president for the coining year. The chamber will wind* up its 41st annual meeting tonight at a banquet at which President Eisenhower Will deliver a. brief informal speech. At today’s final business session, the chamber was scheduled to vote' on* a declaration urging other nations to supply military aid and equipment in| Korea in proportion to their “ability.” Other resolutions presented for Chamber approval included: i "Wage, price and rent controls are unnecessary and harmful, except when ■ there is imminent threat to national security from a foreign source. The president should have authority to freeze wages, prices and rents for not more than 90 days in case of war or a national emergency arising from a foreign source. f‘Selective credit controls are unnecessary at this time. "Federal government control over unemployment compensation has Overstepped justifiable limits. Dependence on federal grants should be minimized and federal purse-strings controlled as rapidly as possible.” 4.

40 Million Slashed ■) From Public Power Hopeful Senators Will Restore Cut WASHINGTON, UP — Public power advocates looked to the senate today for restoration of at least part of >40,000,000 eliminated by the house for government power facilities. ' The public power group lost every round Tuesday as the house passed a >406,130,433 interior | department appropriation bill Containing the curtailed power funds. Th® bill came' to congress from former President Truman containing >607,000,000 for all interior department agencies. The Eisephower administration cut that to 000,000 and the house appropriations committee cut off >80,000,000 more. , Three attempts' to put in additional money for power development in the Pacific Northwest and in Southwest states were defeated. Traditionally, the senate is more liberal in allowing money for power and other natural resources development. Several congressmen said they did not press a fight in the house for projects they are< interested in for tactical reasons. If they get the mpney restored in the senate, they pointed out, they, will be in a better position to get final house approval if there has not been an original house vote recorded against the specific Suggest Payment To Chinese To Desert Could Afford To Pay Every Red Soldier , WASHINGTON, UP — Exponents of psychological warfare said today the United States could well afford to offer every Chinese ’Communist soldier in Korea “a fortune” in cash to desert to the United Nations lines. ' They said It is costing this country upwards of >5,000,000,000 a year to fight the Korean war, even op the present scale of• limited combat. - The same sum would be sufficient to pay cash “rewards'’ of >6,000 each to all of the 1,000,000 Chinese Communist troops now in Korea. The >5,000 would amount <to a fortune to the average Chinese who never dreams of accumulating that much wealth. Although the suggestion has been made from time to time, the idea, apparently Is not being given serious consideration by top government psychological strategists at the moment They obviously are waiting to see what the results will be—if enl—from Gen. Mark W. Clark's offer of a >50.000 reward to Red pilots who fly 'Sov-iet-made MTO ] jets A into Allied hands. \
