Commies Would Hate This Bloomington Man
By ROBERT CO. RUARK NEW YORK, June 14 — Every time one of the | toreiiorn brains boys decides that the country is ripe only for the Russians and goes over the hill with his scientific know-how, I like to dwell a little on Sarkes Tarzian, an Armenian Hoosier frm Bloomington, Ind. Mr. Tarzian, like my friend Sou Chan, is just about everything the Marx boys hate, because he demonstrates daily that a poor refugee from oppression can plow his own furrow, get rich and benefit the “masses” at the same time.
Mr. Tarzian is an exemplification of an American
dream that does not need mass pressure or socialization of everything to keep bread in the basket and illumination in the
community. . Here's a guy who was born in 1901 in Armenia and

Congress, meanwhile, marked! time on the administration's re-| quest for stronger economic controls as President Truman prepared to plead his case before the people tonight: Mr. Truman scheduled a radiotelevision talk at 9:30 p. m., Indianapolis Time, on the need for ex-| tending and strengthening the De-| fense Production Act. ; All federal controls over wages, prices and rents are scheduled to expire in 16 days.

6-8% Increase Forecast |
Garment industry sources in New York forecast 6 to 8 per cent increases in clothing prices by fall under the controls order. These sources said prices would rise because of boosts in materials costs during the spring. Garment manufacturers’ prices have been under the general wage-price freeze of Jan. 25. Costs of raw wool especially and also of cotton have risen substantially since the Korean War, but no controls were put on them until after the general freeze. The prise of raw wool rose 210 per cent betweén the Korean outbreak and April. Cotton prices also rose considerably until ceilings were placed on them on| Mar. 5.

How About Tea and Crumpets?—
Acheson Press Meetings ‘Cozy Affairs’; Favorites Called 3 by Title of Mister |
By ANDREW TULLY Seripps-Howard Staff Writer |
WASHINGTON, June 14—Per-| haps they should serve tea and crumpefs at Becretary of State Dean Acheson's press conferences. That would complete the picture of this genteel social func. tion, where elegant “diplomatic co¥respondents” gather at Mr, Acheson’s feet to exchange light
pleasantries with him and to ap-
plaud his witticisms.
