HE END OF A DECISIVE YEAR

' SEES MANY ACHIEVEMENTS MADE Partisan politics being what they are in om democracy, nd the press and radio of the country being ''largely antidministration, it is perhaps not surprising that , too often he positive achievements of this "decisive first year of Tru-

nan are ignored or overlooked. ' ' " '' 1 '

Soyne fourteen points of the president's 21-point pro-

Tram have been stalled on committees or on the floor by a

congress which was largely on strike; but summing up what le calls "Truman's troubled year," in the current Collier's

nagazine, Frank Gervasi says President Truman can '"point

o a record of positive achievement." ' T Outlining some of these thiners achieved, fiervas? kavs:

i'ln the domestic field the economic high command was shaken up and a campaign .laid down to fight the nation's worst enemyj inflation. Unlimited production, the president knew, would forestall disaster. The danger would be oast orilv when

the supply of goods met the demand generated by 154,000,000,000 war-accumulated dollars burning in people's pockets. To stimulate production he removed all possible restrictions on raw materials for washing machines, automobiles, radios

ana countless otner consumer items. "As a further incentive to industry he reduced corporate taxes and abolished the excess profits tax. Then to help both industry and labor, he worked out a new waae-nrirfi formula

Price-increases were granted to manufacturers where these

were required to maintain pre-war profits. Labor received

nigner wages to help make up for the, loss of overtime pay

ana w aosoro a rise in tne cost or living. "The government was committed to a nnlirv nf full om-

ployment and to the retention of price controls whenever required. A two-year plan to fill immediate shortage of houses

,-tor returning veterans was drawn up, and needed like other

administration measures only a trreen lierht from Conorpss "

ienows, but nevertheless a long and definite step in the right

uuecuon.

In the international field, . continues Mr. Gervasi.

"America took its place in the United Nations and agreed to partiicpate in the Bretton Woods plan for restoring the pro

ductive and purchasing powers of way-ravaged natidns.'' To the"same end the government expanded the lending facilities 'of, the .Export-Import bank from $700,000,000 to $3,500,-,, 000,000, and the reciprocal trade agreements' " with Latin America were extended. "The United States agreed to internationalization pf atomic weapons just as soon as a world organization worthy of the trust came into being. 1 ' , "The life 6f the United Nations Relief and Rehabilita

tion Administration was lengthened. It was given funds

with which to, help war sufferers on to their feet."The demilitarization of Japan was accomolished. Turbu

lent China, maggoty with dangers to future relations be

tween the boviet Union and the United States, was at least temporarily pacified. -J- - "There were," Mr.- Gervasi concludes this siimmarv.

"other plusses,-.but those were the main ones on Truman's work heet. There were minuses, too as for instance, the president's failure to obtain from Congress immediate authorization of a loan of about $4 billion to prime the pumps of -Anglo-American trade, and the filibustering to death of the Fair Employment Act but the minuses were put there by Congress."' 1 - ; Moreover, Mr. Gervasi stresses the fact that when Truman was unexpectedly and tragically called to fill the place of our great war commander-in-chief, the war was still going on on both fronts. "The neophyte in the White House might easily have' made costly mistakes," he says, "and prolonged the war. But he didn't." And since then, as he emphasizes, Truman has shown an increasing nfaturity, a patience, a kindliness, an integrity even an actual skill in handling problems so complex that they would have taxed the abilities of far more experienced men that should be borne in mind by all the people. . . 1 . 1 '

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 11 (Special) Despite advanca of spring vegetation, the outdoor fire hazard remain? high, 'Ralph F.' Wilcox; state forester, for vhe Indiana Department of Conservation, warned today. Calling attention to numerous forest and grass fires during recent weeks, Wilcox called :'or vigilance on the part of every

Hoosier and emphasized that vhe

spring fire season may result 'n devastation of more acres i Uian can be replaced this year. ' - "We expect to have enough young trees in our state nurseries to plant 4,500 acres this year," Wilcox said, "but (hat total may be merely a fgesture :f fire:, continue to spread over hundreds of acres of woodland." Pointing out that most fires are a direct result of ;iegligsnc-2 on the part of careless individuals, Wilcox urged that every precaution be taken. Discarded cigarets, uncontrolled grass and

rubbish fires are chief causes, he said.

AFTER THE RUSSIAN-IRANIAN DIFFERENCES were smoothed out at the U. N. Security Council sessions, Iran and Russia announced an oil pact in which Russia gets 51 per cent control of a joint oil company for 25 yeara and a 50-50 split for the second hs.lf of the 50-year term. Oil still remains one of the most important three-letter words in the world's cross-purpose puzzle. Our own petroleum supplies are reported diminishing. The question has been raised as to whether the present supply could fuel another war. This was being discussed when, last October, former Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes went to London to sign a new Anglo-American oil agreement. U, S. and British ' companies, together with Dutch-British Interests, are said to control some 86 per cent of the world's oil reserves and the : above chart gives an idea of how this is distributed.
