SUNDAY, SEPT. 9, 1951 __ ~ Washington Calling—
Inflation R
| Setas Peace
¥
lide
| By Scripps-Howard N. ewspapers WASHINGTON, Sept. 8—Stage is now fully set for ‘Inflation skyrocket to go off again. . “Peace psychology” has practically vanished. Public - now knows there's no chance of anything resembling real peace, even in unlikely event shooting stops.in Korea. Arms spending is soaring. Senate appropriations committee has just voted brand new $5 billion for more airplanes—on top of $56 billion administration wanted for
entire military.
About $6 billion is yet to be voted for military construction. And more- military expansion is coming, with costs of continued Korean fighting till to be paid. Tax ‘increase bill, though tough, won't be nearly enough to put government on pay-as-we-go basis. ‘Federal government has been running in red continuously since April and is borrowing to meet expected huge deficits. Deficit since July 1 is $4.2 billion. Government's powers to control prices have been
drastically curtailed by Congress. And credit rules have been relaxed. “Big pinch” has finally arrived, too, in civilian supplies —at time when new cutbacks in civilian goods and increases
in auto prices are being an- ’
nounced, when higher excise taxes on many consumer goods are scheduled, and when labor unions are readying new pay increase demands. » s s
Stocks Advance ALL THIS PROVIDES ingredients for another big shot of inflation. Doesn't seem to leave any margin for wrongguessing. Stock market seems to agree. It's been going up and up, scoring one new 20year high after another. And former deflation - minded private economists have again switched “to inflation side— where government economists have been all along. ° Czech government shakeup ifs no Titoist movement, free Czechs here say. They regard it as move by Communist President Gottwald to strengthen himself and make his government more platable to Czechs and Slovaks. - Big names dropped or demoted by Gottwald were mostly Germans. Rudolph Slansky, demoted secretary-general, is Sudeten German. So is his deputy, Bedrich Geminder. By no stretch of imagination, say free Czechs, can shakeup be regarded as break with Moscow. All men in new top lineup are known to be faithful followers of Moscow line. Czechoslovakia is being hit hard by sharp decline in U. 8S. purchases- of Czech goods. In first part of year we had been buying Czech goods at annual rate of $30 million. But now purchases have dwindled to a trickle. State Department has quietly used red tape to do it.
Says handicaps imposed ont U.
8. embassy at Prague have made {it impossible to process consular invoices for exports to U. S. at anything like normal rate. It's part of pressure to force Czechs to release William N. Oatis, of Marion, Ind. .U. 8. newspaperman sentenced to 10 years for “spying.” And it's known to be hurting. La
Ban Czech Flights
U. S. HAS DECIDED in favor of banning Czech commercial airline flights over U. S.occupied territory in Germany in retaliation for jailing of Mr. Oatis. Action, in works: for weeks, will be postponed until we see whether we can get British and French to impose ban on flights over their occupation sectors, too.
Air Force was bitterly dis-"
appointed over premature disclosure that Caucasian puppets
were in North Korea. Air Force
had puppet camps located, was all set to give them royal welcome with fire bombs, rockets. Soon -as news leaked from 8th Army in Korea, puppets quickly dispersed. Air Force is convinced it could have knocked . them out of action before they fired a shot. 4 Note: Friends say Secretary of State Dean Acheson has delayed his departure from cabinet because of breakdown of cease-fire talks. Acheson, they say, definitely plans to quit if Korea affair can be brought to some stage of settlement.
» ” o Doug Favors Talks GOP POLITICOS think it's almost a cinch Gen. MacAr,thur will come out for Sen. Taft for President. MacArthur's favorable reference to Taft in his Cleveland speech was no casual one. Said the General of Taft: “Indications multiply that this leadership (Taft's) may even increase in the not too distant future.”
Looks as if- an old Senate
war-horse, ex-Sen. Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, will make .comeback try next year. Wheeler, who gained fame as a Teapot Dome prober, is speaking to knife-and - fork . clubs all over Montana. He was beaten in Democratic primary in 1946. There'll be atomic headlines next week. Sen. Brien MecMahon {D. Conn.), chairman
of the Atomic Energy Commit- / tee, has promised that he and
conclu-
tastic’ weapons the President spoke about before that political rally in San Francisco, how come we can’t even win a little ‘police action’ in Korea?” Air Force is preparing air base north of Arctic Circle in Greenland. This will provide field well within bombing-and-return distance of Murmansk. Greeland = is on direct air route, from New York to Murmansk. It's fair guess that Senate tax amendments to put bite on
farm co-ops won't be. in final-
version of tax bill. Campaign against amendments is growing, next year is election year and farm state Senators haven't lost yet in this Congress.

Pact Parley Note
FROM SAN FRANCISCO peace conference: Couple days after Philippines delegate Romulo was complaining that his country was devastated and could: afford no such plush delegation as Japan, story broke that one member of Philipines group had carelessly left $15,000 in his pocket when he sent his pants to cleaner. Money was recovered, but Romulo’s face was crimson.
Transcontinental television setup went unused after first exciting’ day of conference. Three San Francisco stations \kept going and broadcast was available anywhere along coaxial route for payment of high charges. But there were no calls.for it, similarly, pubblic attendance dropped off at opera house sessions, with not nearly all free tickéts being picked up. No one was able to explain why Gen. MacArthur was cut out of photograph of surrender ceremonies on USS Missouri, which was among decorations in opera house. It showed Japanese delegation sutrendering to someone apparently not important enough to be included.’

UN Warned to Look for Blood: If London, Tehran Fail to Reach Accord
Civil Strife Feared on Make
J Complled from the Wire Services United Nations delegates are being advised that Iran's tense political situation may blow up at any time with serious consequences, Ernie Hill, special correspondent for the Indian.apolis Times at United Nations, N. Y., reported today. Middle East experts say that bloodshed is almost inevitable if both Iran .and Britain hold firm to their positions over operation of the country's billion dollar petroleum industry. The most likely eruption, it is reported, is a civil war between Iranian nationalist extremists and the Communist Tudeh Party which is. biding its time until it feels it has a chance to seize power. g If. the Communists hold back, it {s. reported by observers, the Iranians and the British could easily become in-. volved in serious fighting over physical possession of the world's largest oil refinery at Abadan,
Wants Ultimatum
The British still have 350 technicians there guarding the idle refinery, which is expected to fall into a state of disrepair if unused for as long as six months. ts Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh is attempting to get his parliament to adopt an ultimatum to the British demanding that they resume suspended negotiations or have the 350 technicians leave the country at once. : The British have indicated they will fight before turning over the refinery to Iran without compensation. s Whether the British will actually ‘land troops on Iran soil to protect the AngloIranian Oil Co. property remains a question that no one else can answer. Fighting could break out at Abadan at almost any time. Should the British withdraw, it is stated, the tension will then become a matter of internal politics.
Out of Motor Oil
One of the interesting bits of the sideplay involves a new $5 million. motor oil refinery which Anglo-Iranian was completing to furnish motor oil to the Persian Gulf area. The British have suspended work on the refinery, have stopped sending motor oil to Iran and the United States has been forced to send in the supplies. Now the American oil companies are refusing to sell motor oil to Iran. The motor vehicles of thé country are without oil while one of the world's richest fields stand nearby. ; Prime « Minister Mossadegh has ordered Hussein Makki, secretary of the Iran oil nationalization commission, to try and get the new refinery working. The country needs motor oil to prevent a collapse of «transportation. « -
Germany
..THE Russians sald they had arrested a trigger-happy Communist policeman who shot and killed an unarmed American soldier without provocation. But the U. 8. Army said
they “failed to justify the wan- =-
ton use of arms.” The name of the slain man was withheld until his family
“has been notified. He died in
a Soviet hospital after the Reds refused information on his condition. A car driven by the soldier crashed Thursday into a post at the Russian checkpoint in South Lichterfelde. A Red German policeman ordered the soldier to get out. The. American, apparently dazed by the crash, made no move to obey and the Communist started shooting.

United Nations FAILURE of Prime Minister
Nehru of India to keep Asian
and Middle East countries from signing the Japanese peace treaty is considered at United Nations as the most
important political ment of the San Francisco conference.
The rebellion of Pakistan, Indonesia, Ceylon, the Philippines, Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia against Mr. Nehru's refusal to attend the conference or sign the treaty is regarded as a devastating loss of face for the Indian leader. The breakaway of Pakistan from Indian leadership is particularly significant, delegates say. Foreign Minister Zafruilah Khan of Pakistan has in the past followed the Indian line closely.

PREMIER .JAWAHARLAL NEHRU was elected President of the dominant All-India Congress party by a reported vote of 296 to 4.

U.S. Is a Land of Diverse Loyalties—
Chicago Prof Bends the Ears of John Bull
By WILLIAM McGAFFIN
LONDON, Sept. 8 (CDN)— When a group of American Senators visited Europe recently they asked on-the-spot American officials what the people over here thought of America. Our officials, here to sfipervise the Marshall Plan and the North Atlantic Treaty organi-
zation, had a pretty shrewd
idea of what the Europeans think of us. Public opinion polls the Americans took on the Q.T. were not complimentary.
“If the Senators knew what
~they think of us over here, they would cut off all foreign aid,” sald on American in a half joking, half

the Senators’ questions were ducked. They were not shown the results of the private opinion polls.

Jenner's Foes .
Build up James .
. By The Times City Stat ~~ - MOUNTING REPUBLICAN opposition to Sen. William E. Jenner as candidate for Governgr has resulted in behind-the-scenes build-up of former Lt. Gov. Richard James as. GOP choice in 1952 to occupy Governor's Mansion, 4343 N. Meridian St. : ¥ Jenner says right now he doesn’t know if he will be a candidate for Senator, Governor or even if he will be
a candidate.
"But insiders say he yearns to be Governor and defi-
nitely will run.
Top GOP. big-wigs, outside the state headquarters circle, are urging Jenner to stay in Washington, make the race for Senator again. Privately, they feel Hoosiers will vote to send Jenner to Washington but not to In-
dianapolis.
As a result, some Republican leaders are grooming portly Dick James, currently vice president of Butler University. These GOP’ers feel Dick would make good
campaign and be top-notch
.candidate. They point out that
he is well regarded by labor, business and other: interests— a candidate who could attract
“all kinds of votes.
James was lieutenant governor during the administration of Gov. Gates. State House workers said he made plenty of friends in both parties during that time. Dick_is telling most people who ask him that he is not a veandidate—at present. However, there are repofts that he
. isn’t saying “no”-to top GOP
leaders. 2 s o
American Guard Without fanfare, the Hoo-sier-born American Guard observed its second birthday at Anderson—last Friday, The Guard, a “nonprofit” organization, is devoted to fighting “the growth of socialism in America.” Guard takes active interest in politics, although top leaders say the organization chooses only issues and works through both major political

Where's the Fire?
Gun Shy
When two city policemen last week permitted a pair of burglars to escape in a stolen car rather than shoot at them, police brass wondered at head- - quarters whether local cops were becoming gun shy. There’s a reason. Some weeks ago, a policeman - shot and killed Billie Thompson, who fled from police after he had been stopped for a traffic violation. Since the incident, there has been a big hullabaloo and Mayor Bayt even went so far as to appoint a Citizens Committee to investigate the shooting. When the latest incident oecurred, the two cops told an eye-witness: “We weren't taking any chances on having another Billie Thompson case.” They had been called to investigate a burglary. As they pulled up in front of the address, the stolen get-away car with the burglars inside sped away. “We were so close we could have shot out their tires,” one patrolman said. The burglars are still at
liberty. ” ” »
It's a Secret Under state's old, outdated law governing public utilities, railroads and bus companies can file and get fare hikes without anyone knowing about it until the day the new higher fares gn into effect. This has happened in some cities and towns. In one town, surprised transit riders woke up to tind a new fare increase and became indignant enough to call a mass meeting. Louis I. Webster of the Public Service Commission's tariff
department says the present
arrangements are no good. Now, utilities file proposed rates. If no one protests, the
new rates go into effect after
10 days. Since some companies rarely take the time t&« tell anyone, no one is in a posi tion to object or protest. Webster wants to make utilities wait 30 days after filing before using the new rates: Also, he would have them use large newspaper ads and post. ers informing riders of the pro-
posed change in advance. ” = 2
