"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

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.

Price Cut Lead Not Followed
Benjamin F. Fairies, president
of U. S. Steel, said the decision to
boost wages simply meant the cor.
poralion was forced to abandon
Its plans to stabilize living costs
bv pegging wages. Last April "Big
Steer did Just that It refused de
mands for a "substantal increase"
and also lowered prices of its
products some $25,000,000 annu
ally. Fairless was critical of some
members of the steel industry for
not following his company's lead
In price cutting. He declared:
Various other members of the
steel industrv did not follow this
action of V. S. Steel and did not
reduce their prices for steel prod
ucts." The CIO Steelworkers' state
ment, released by President Phil
lip Murray, said the present con
tract with "Big Steel1' is extend
ed to April 30, 1950, with the un
ion reserving the right to nego
tate wages and social Insurance
in July, 1949. Murray said the un

on these subjects at that time," if
necessary.

throughout the nation.

Anti-Red Bill, Oleo Tax
Repeal to Face Congress

approved. 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. Javits (R.-N.Y.) who
wants a plan whereby the presi
dent could set up rationing but
congress could end it.
Javits said it would be similar
to a bill he and Senator Flanders
(R.-Vt.) sponsored unsuccessfully
in the last session. He said he
will ask Flanders to be co-sponsor.
