Pressure Blocs Keep

Contenders in Sweat

OF. = i x3 si Bei or

ing of cross-fire, high-pressure tactics the candidates are getting in this campaign. Both Willlam H. Wemmer, the! Republican mayoralty candidate and Al Feeney, the Democratic nominee, are undergoing all-time high in pressure-group tactics. Factions in both party organizations have tried to mugle in for topgfavors in the pext administratid by applying ‘the pressufe of thelr campaign machinery out in the precincts,

Demands are Numerous

“We are in control of 10,000 votes) and we want to know just who is going to get the ‘go sign’ on this or that portion of the administra- | tion,” one factional leader asked | a candidate this week. Another faction recently de-| manded an outright commitment on| a candidate's choice for chief of} police, The demands, always backed up with a bloc of votes, have become 80 numerous and contradictory that both mayoralty candidates admit they've become baffled at times about how to run their campaigns.

From All Angles

In addition to the factional high pressure within the party organizations for top “control” in the administration, there are hundreds of well-meaning citizens adding to the confusion — with thousands of “suggestions.” “I've been fired at from so many angles and by so many people, it is difficult to wade through all the maze of campaign suggestions” declared Mr. Wemmer this week, following a conference. “Some of the complaints and suggestions are ill-advised and indicate ‘many of the people have little idea about the subjects they are talking about,” he sald.

Heavy-Footed No Mr. Feeney reported about the | same type of barrage in his cam-|

paign. “I'm stopped hundreds of times |

* every day and night by well-mean-|

ing . people with suggestions about | what I should do,” Mr. Feeney said.| “Many of the complaints and sug- | gestions are in direct conflict with each other in my own party.” { Regarding some of the high-| pressure demands for the “go sign”| or administrative “control” both candidates insisted they have put) their feet down with an emphatic “NO.” . | They both said they would rather, lose the election than make pre-| election commitments on adminis-| tration favors. They're both convinced about the! old adage: “You can't please everybody."

Study Price Complaints,

Justice Department is getting hundreds of complaints from consumers and small businessmen about high prices, Its anti-trust division has several hundred investigators checking working on food, clothing, housing prices. ; FOOD: Most. complaints here deal with milk prices, Department is keeping close watch on areas where dominant milk companies increased prices simultaneously, Action almost certainly will be taken. CLOTHING: Small merchants write in about receiving letters in same mail from widely separated manufacturers, supposed to be competitive, notifying - them of identical price increases. Departmen action last week seeking to separate ownership of full-fash-foned hosiery machinery and hosiery manufacting firms is only first step in this field. HOUSING: This investigation is more complicated, moves more slowly, But one big suit has been filled and others can be expected, . Department officials say they don't expect legal action to drive prices down but hope to stop further increases by collusion. TAX REDUCTION: Republicans will start pushing it as soon as special session meets, Some will advocate it as step to cut HCL. » » ~

Truman Holds Firm

TRUMAN'S NOT inclined to change stand he took when he vetoed earlier Republican bills, but there's strong pressure in administration circles for taking lead in tax reduction, diverting

| credit from Republicans when it

finally comes. Treasury Department may spearhead this by saying it's not averse to some cuts, particularly extension of commu-~ nity-property theory. Vice Admiral Dewitt Ramsey still has inside track to sucoced Admiral Nimitz and reason Is significant. : Only three Navy men-Nimitz, Ramsey and Vice Admiral Forrest

| Sherman—are familiar with,

“gentlemen's agreements,” reached in drafting unification bill. They can't be reduced to writing but Navy considers them important. Sherman wants, has been promised, sea assignment. So that leaves Ramsey. Also he flies, and Truman wants a flier.

Miller was a wartime director of Navy public relations, then went to work for Trans World Alrlines at $25,000 when Jack Frye was president. When Frye was forced out by Howard Hughes, Miller went with him. His dislike of Hughes ranks alon, with that of Brewster. It's good bet he'll help Brewster's war investigating committee prepare its case before Hughes is called back to stand. That's supposed to happen in November, . ” »

AFL in Vote Drive

AFL WON'T go so far politically as some San Francisco reports indicated. Its main effort will be to register and get out vote of union members and families.- «It will not blacklist or oppose more than few congressional candidates, will not tie up with any political party. Nor will it have $10 million to spend. All it has in sight now is about $1 million, coming from cent and a half a month rise in dues per member, Part of that will go for increased expenses that are non-political. Also part will go for educational campaign, reselling organized labor to public, and informing union membership on public questions. Federation leaders may authorise special political fund at December meeting here, but it's likely to be small one, from voluntary contributions. . . . Repeal of Taft-Hartley act will not be only AFL objective. Some leaders say it will be equally interested in passage of new social legislation.

Red Tourists Annoying

ARMY AND NAVY are worried about Russian “tourist” infiltration in South and Central America. Even though neighbor countries are expelling Soviet and satellite diplomats, there's evidence these are being 1gplaced with trained fifth columnists who intend to stay indefinitely, sheltered by local commies. One high-ranking Navy officer says Russian ships arrive at South and Central American ports with top-heavy crews, sail with perhaps third of them missing. This was frequent device of Germany before World War II, ’ . » . Treasury's alcohol tax unit has good reason to believe moonshine ing is increasing by leaps and bounds. Reason: Bottom is said to have dropped out of southern moonshine market. Agents admit that with so much ‘money’ in circulation, people may be buying better tax-paid liquor. But they think it's more likely due to market being flooded and they're combing - moonshine regions.
