Hon RjcwshmW "IT'S ON JACKSON STREET" Few Differences Seen in Platforms Of Both Parties . By PETER EDSON PHILADELPHIA. Pa., (NEA) Comparison of Republican plat form and draft of Democratic platform as submitted to the con vention for adpotion reveals few startling dlflerences. Most Important Issue of the campaign should be- Inflation, though this Issue got scant at tention here. In their platforms, each party tries to blame the other for high prices. On cures, the Democrats propose to put through President Truman's 10 point anti-Inflation program. The last Congress passed only three of these points. That leaves De mocrats seven to work on, In cluding stand-by ration and price controls and curbs on credit. As opposed to this, Republicans offer only to cut government spending, and fiscal policies to provide incentive for more pro duction. Second big Issue should be hous ing. Both platforms commit par ties to slum-clearance and low rent projects. Democrats Imply they 'vould nrovidi- It by federal ad -to locally sponsored Dro- Jects. GOP says it would furnish aid to state and only In cases where private enterprise couldn't do the Job. Tax Cuts Planned Both parties now promise more tax reduction. This represents a shift from Truman's position by Democrats. Their platform says they will give full measure of relief to low Income families GOP promises to cut excise and inheritance taxes and to shift other V. S. taxes to states. On labor. Democrats offer out right repeal of Taft-Hartley law In a direct bid for the union vote, although In overriding Truman's veto of this law, only 22 Demo cratic senators and 71 Democrat ic representatives supported the president. The GOP platform takes full credit for passage of T-H law and beyond that prom ises further study to Improve conditions. Sex enters both documents through suport of an equal rights amendment to Constitution and promises of equal pay for equal FLOOR SANDING AND FINISHING ESTIMATES LESLIE PFAFF 320 Word St. Roseburg Phone 651-Y work. Both also promises ex tension of Social Security, with Democrats promising the most. The Dems promise to raise mini mum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour, and they offer more in Federal aid to states for educa tion and health programs. Only the Republicans mention the need for reduction of bureaucracy and say they will do something about reorganizing federal government. Both parties came out strong as usual for more aid to mother hood, childhood, veterans, small business, farmers, reclamation, and other fat calve. ' Democrats promise more anti trust law enforcement and great er development of river valleys, which Republicans Ignore. GOP promises to give submerged and tide-land oil rights to states, which Dems tried to duck. On the Civil Rights Issue. which threatened .to tear the De mocratic Party anart because of Southern opposition, both party platforms a finally adopted men tlon anti-poll tax, anti-lynch, and anti discrimination legislation. Only the GOP calls for revis ion of presidential election pro cedure. Republican foreign p o I Ic y planks are pretty general. Demo cratic planks are more specific. The Democratic platform prom ises all-out support of Truman doctrine and Marshall plans, with full appropriations. The more cau tious Republicans promise aid on a basis of self-help within prud ent limits and only after Ameri can interests have been taken care of. Both promise full recog nition of Isreal. The- Democrats call for lifting the arms em bargo, which goes bevond pres ent Truman policv. Both plat forms call for support of the United Nations and International limitation of armaments while maintaining a strong U. S. Army Navy and Air Force. The Weather U. .

He expects northern dairy state senators may filibus ter, he said. However, an aVie of Senator Wiley IR.-Wls.), a principal foe of the oleo hill, said he does not look for a full fledged filibuster. The fate of this bill, and many others, will depend on the atti tude of Senator Taft, who heads majority policy In the Senate. He supported repeal during the Ohio primary campaign recently. How ever, it didn't get on the Senate's crowded "must" list at the close of the last session. Meat rationing talk was revive ed by Rep.
