TWO NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 29. 1948 Politics or No, People Could Gain Through Special Congress Session By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON Results ol the special session of Congress alone may decide whether Harry S. Truman or Thomas E. Dewey will be president lor the next four yean. As governor of New York, Dewey could perhaps be pardoned for keeping his neck in and expressing no opinion on tough questions of domestic policy. But, in his new role as GOP candidate for the presidency, it Is he who is on the spot as well as the Republican Congress. This will give the voters just the opportunity they need to compare the two candidates in action. The special session may also backfire to make Harry S. Tru man and the Democrats the tar gets instead of the trigger men, Take the Civil Rights issue, The Republican platiorm calls for the reforms President Tru man has asked. Republican ma joritles in Congress plus liberal Northern Democrats should be abie to slam through the whole program. The danger comes through the possibility of a filibuster from about a dozen Southern States' rights senators. Nothing May Result There are only two ways to break a fillibuster. Kirst is to pass a rule limiting debate. If the senators are sincere about wanting civil rights and want ing to go home, they will vote this through The alternative is to keep the Senate In continuous session until the filibustered wear themselves out. So, at the worst, there is the possibility of a two weeks ses sesion in which nothing would be accomplished and for which the Democrats would get the blame. Adjournment of Congress be fore anything is accomplished would be an excellent cue for the voters to throw all the rascals out. Of course. It was politics that prompted President Truman to call Congress back. But, if the ' American people gain something out ol tnis session In the way of housing or anti-Inflation lr-gls-, lation, what difference does it make If the motive was sordid politics? The program on housing should be fairly obvious. If it is nothing more than the 1 art Wag ner . Blender bill, It will be enough. This bill has already passed the Senate but will have to be fought through the House again. Must Avert Crash The problem on Inflationary 1 controls Is more complex. If the president asks for the unpassed seven points of his original 10 polnt program the outlook is doubtful. Desirable as rolled-back prices might be. It Is unlikely that the country is In any frame of mind to accept subsidies or regimentation by rationing con trols. There Is, however, the possihil ty of a new anti-Inflation pro gram which would call for freez ing price and wage ceilings at present levels. This program is now being considered and it makes some sense. The argu ments for it run something like tnis: The country has now been through three rounds of wage in creases. Coal, steel, auto, rail road and electrical goods Indus tries nave nad various price in creases which more than offset the wage increases because divl dend payments are now higher. Inflation has thus far not hurt anyone par.lcularly, since Income has kept ahead of expense tor every part of the economy, and there Is little unemployment. The real danger ol Inllatlon would come through fourth or subse quent rounds of wage and price rises, bucn climbing up the Infla tionary spiral could only lead to a boom that would make eventu al downward adjustment difficult without a crash. The sensible thing to do is attempt to hold the line on wages and prices at present levels, and not let them go higher. The mechanics of such legisla tion win De mnicujt to work out administer and enforce. Curbs on credit and Imposition of the Aiken bill farm price support program now, Instead of 1950, might have to be part of the plan, for they are the keys to the cost of living.
