SUNDAY, MAR. 4, 1051 - Washington Calling—
‘Report Labor
e
will Take Its Case to Nation Wilson Ouster, End of Control Of Mobilization by Business Aims
By The Scripps-Howard Newspapers
« WASHINGTON,
Mar. 3—Labor will take its case
to the country. Open talk of defeating President Truman if he. runs next year ends likelihood any quiet com-
promise can be reached.
Top labor men -— Phil Murray, William Green, George Meany, Al Hayes, Walter Reuther, James Carey —will make radio talks within next 10 days. They'll try to convince public—and Mr, Truman—that crisis in mobilization program is real and. that Something must
be done about it.
What do they want? Ouster of Charles E. Wilson,
first, and end to ‘big business” control of mobilization.
. Talks to, the country will say that labor is not trying to impair defense program but to make it more effective; that labor men aren't power-hungry but want chance to present workers’ view-point at top policy-making levels. Rank and file seems to be- supporting united* labor policy
committee,
Local unions are wiring in endorsement of decision
to pull out “window-dressirfg” officials from defense offices. Some Democratic Senators think Mr. Wilson's days are num-
bered; that labor's now talking the language Mr. Truman understands. Some hope so. Their own chances of re-election go up or down according to labor's support of Democratic ticket. One group of White House advisers is" urging much tougher price "controls—as labor demands. There's no indication Mr. Wilson will listen to them, and he has the last word as long -as Mr. Truman Jets him stay where he is, with far-reaching powers delegated to him. These White House men think mark-up regulations just announced are far too liberal; that business should be forced to absorb greater part of coming cost increases instead of passing them on to buyers. They argue: With escalator clauses in
- eontracts, ‘wages go up as cost "of Jiving gdes up. This. means a round of increased prices.’
Among other thingsafarm parity goes up. That raises food price ceilings. So then cost of living goes up—and on and on. ‘White House advisers say squeeze must-be put on business and profits to bring this merry-go-round to a halt. Labor calls the mark-up or-
wiger Afegalized robbery: suai
Another labor. charge: That administration is trying to split its ranks by approving escalator benefits for United Auto Workers, coal miners and non - operating railroad employees; leaving others under more rigid control.
Only One Symptom LABOR CRISIS is only one svmptom of sagging defense effort. Bitter political squabble on Capitol Hill over troops for Europe has heen followed by equally determined effort to soften draft bill. Defense Secretary Marshall tried this week to reawaken Congress to sense of urgency. But President, who also talked emergency in January, has gone to Key West for 3week vacation and Secretary of State Acheson is resting at Bermuda. And Congress, dragging its feet on raising taxes, is busy with RFC-influence mess, investigation of charges that government jobs are being bought and sold in Mississippi, crime and corruption unearthed by Kefauvér committee and disclosure that racketeers are given soft treatment by Internal revenue bureau; plus reverberations from Maryland senatorial campaign last fall.
Freight Car Lack
FREIGHT CAR situation is in a mess. Now-—when cars should be in surplus -— we're having daily shortages averaging 35,000. Railroad men worry about what will nappen when it's time to move grain. Government's steel allocation program has been a dud so far. Car builders have trcuble getting right shapes and sizes of ‘steel. Instead of 10,000 new cars, only 5947 were turned out in January. And national production authority already has cut back steel allocations by one-tenth,
‘Tough’ ‘Rent Curbs
“TOUGH” RENT control bill will go up to Congress soon from White House. It will propose ‘ceilings on commercial buildings as well as on all residences, hotel, and motels in defense areas—which gnes farther than World War TI controls. Bill also will call for ceilings on residences bullt since 1947. Local option features of present law would be repealed. Strong. opposition in Congress is certain. Extension of present. ~mild--law for thiee months is more likely. ?
Postal Rate- Issue LLOOK FOR fireworks when House Post Office Committee starts hearings on proposal of post office department to raise rates. Some minority members feal too much money is being wasted through poor business methods and hiring of unnecessary employees. They say current scandal in Boston post office may not be an isolated case. In Bostan, ward heelers put hundreds of friends on post office pay-
roll as temporary employees. All they did was punch time - clocks and collect pay.
Fight Over Aid
THERE'S STILL a real fight going on in administration
circles over how much aid
we'll give Chinese Nationalists. Although anti-Nationalist ‘forces in State Department have agreed we'll give Chiang some aid, they're trying to hold it to minimum, Pro-Na-
"pect. Charles Taft,
59,
tionalists aren't convinced change of heart is sincere.
Odds FavorDemocrats ODDS SEEM to favor Democrats in next week's special election to fill St. Louis congressional seat made vacant by death of Rep. John B. Sullivan, Democrat, who won by 22,000 votes last’ November. : GOP candidate is ex-Rep. Claude Bakewell. Democrats are running Harry Schendel,
‘and opposition is calling him
candidate of underworld elements, District is strongly labor. Vote may he test of labor’s present feeling about administration.
Tafts ‘in Ohio
IT MAY be Taft and Taft in Ohio next year, The Senator's brother, Charles, wants to run for governor, just as Sen. Robert wants, tb run for President. Ohio GOP leaders have mixed feeling about the prosa Cincinnati_eity councilman and nationally prominent Protestant church leader, is topo liberal for
the high-collar element in the,
«party. Knd hes ¢1oser to Dewey-Eisenhower wing on foreign affairs than to brother Bob.
Optimism
WHITE HOUSE is optimistic about chances that hot federal reserve - treasury dispute over fiscal policy can be settled quickly by new four-man committee just named. Optimistic, also, that agreement will be satisfactory to all con. cerned. :
Marked Period THIRD QUARTER — July through September—is period now marked on government timetable for feeling the full impact of defense program. any goods will not be as scarce as had been feared. But there will be‘enough shortages to make prices push hard against whatever ceilings there are. That's why administration wants new tax bill operating by July, tor sop up excess purchasing power.
Convention Plum ~ CHICAGO, PHILADELPTHIA, Atlantic City and San Francisco are im running for one or both national political conventions next year. Philadelphia’s already ‘organizing, will try to get both. But Chicago may have edge if war picture is blacker, because of central location. Conventions there would mean less strain on transport. To compete g city must have 10,000 hotel rooms, convention hall seating 15,000, and some $200,000 to help parties pay expenses.
A Top TV Show TOP TELEVISION road show is now Sen. Kefauver's crime investigating committee. Sessions in Detroit and St. Louis were on -TV and just about stopped work in both cities, Saloons with TV did SRO busines.s. Sometimes watching hoodlums got as excited as baseball or wres-

Acheson Prevented Evacuation of Korea; Generals Wanted to Get Out Right Away
Chinese Entry Changed Plans
By FRANK N. WIDNER News Editor of The Times (Compiled from the Wire Services) The Chicago Daily News ‘Foreign Service of which The Indianapolis’ Times is a member has learned that it was
* Secretary of State Dean Ache-
son—and Mr. Acheson alone— who prevented a. complete evacuation of Korea after the Chinese came pouring into the place and threw us back from the Yalu River last November: The source of this information cannot be revealed at this time. Practically all of the generals wanted to get out right away. For a time, Gen. MacArthur could get no decision from Washington or the *Unfted Nations. He wanted more troops, permission to bomb the Reds in Manchuria or permission to withdraw from the mainland to continue the war against Red China by sea and air, ! Bared General's Plight
Quick decision; came, after
Keyes Beech revealed the general’s plight caused by lack of decision. * ‘Top flight generals flew from Washington on tHe weekend after the Beech story created a sensation throughout the nation. It now appears abvious that the resulting decision was an order to continue the war in Korea and that reinforcements should be rushed. President Truman listened again to Mr. Acheson's advice and followed it. He is still doing so. Acts as Referee At this time it appear that Mr. Acheson will last although Washington is still a madhouse where anything can happen to anybody. ¢ Mr. Truman's tters and blasts against his
situations have alarmed people

TE he HOW Desi established
that the Korean business started as a Russian show, though no Russians ever have’ been captured. Now it has become a Chinese show in which the Russians have the sole role of “angel” to the extent that they are willing to play that role. Several well informed sources feel there is bound.to be great friction between China's Mao Tse-tung and the Russians.
. . Taipei The = Chinese Communists say they are going to take Formosa in 1951 regardless of the U. 8. Tth Fleet. Peiping has a remarkable record for making good on its promises. But the prevailing opinion in American and Chinese PNationalist military circles is that the Communists cannot take Formosa—unless they get help from the Russians. That could, of course, touch off World War III - In Hong Kong Communist sources sav that Peiping must take Formosa for two reasons: ONE: As a matter of “face” it cannot tolerate the existence of Chiang Kai-shek's refugee government on what the Communists consider Chinese territory. TWO: An enemy army only 100 miles from the Chinese mainland is a constant threat to the security: of Communist. China.
Uprising of Agents
Pro-Communist sources in Hong Kong say armed invasion of Formosa will be accompanied by an “inside” uprising of Communist agents and sympathizers. Meanwhile, intelligences sources report, the Communists are building airfields'and assembling landing craft along the South China coast opposite Formosa. Russian jets have been seen flying from these fields. Reports from Taipel say that unless the Russians are willing to give the Chinese

the important cities of Sitka

In this decision—arrived at in Washington—the military is being merely logical. Nearly all of Alaska's population of 126,000 persons lives in the. socalled ‘‘heartland” embraced by the defense line. It theludes the country’s only railroad. And it is the only part of the country which meets the military’s requirements for bases

Walter Richter, inspector of customs police at Obersuhl, said the bodies of the two ‘people's policemen” were returned to officials in the Russian occupation zone today.
