1 : ' : : : : NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON FRIDAY. AUGUST 13, 1948 N1NI V, Who Would Dewey Oust on Taking Over Presidency? Major Question By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON Commonest subject of Washington gossip to day it who will get fired or whose resignation will be accepted if and when Governor Dewey comes to town as President. Here's a typical sample of the way these conversations go: "Will Governor Dewey fir Paul Hoffman as Economic Cooperation Administrator?" Of course not. Hoffman was picked and okayed by Senator Vandenberg and the Republican leadership in Congress. Dewey wouldn't dare fire nlm." "Would Dewey fire or accept the resignation of Averell Harrl man as ECA roving ambassador In Europe?" "That s conceivable. Harrlman was pretty closely tied up with Feather Butterflies Roosevelt all through his years in the White House, and Harrl man was Truman's Secretary of Commerce. He's a registered Democrat." "Well, If Dewey fires Harrlman and Wayne Chatfield-Taylor and the rest of the big wheels around ECA. then I'll bet you Hoffman would resign and go back to i South Bend, because he's the man I who picked all the others for the top ECA Jobs." Lobby Promts 'Prsasur' When one Washington lobby ; complains about all the "pressure I groups" arrayed against it, that's news. The Washington Realtors' I Committee, which is the front 1 organization in the capital for all , the real estate and building in- terests throughout the country 1 has sent out a trade letter com nlaininv ahnut all the fnrpM a r- , rayed against it on housing lrg- i station before the last Congress. ine joooy usia as us opponents: "The President of the United States, practically every veterans' organization, every labor union, the Catholic church, the Protes tant church, social welfare groups, the mayors of the nation." The letter then goes on to say: 'That the Congress was courageous enough to withstand this pressure, you have reason to rejoice." This letter poses an interesting ques tion for the general public. If Congress was on one side of the Housing question, and most all the churches, unions, vets' organ izations, mayors and the Presi dent were on the other, which side do you think was right? I Alphabtt Soup Thick Washington alphabet soup has now become more than usually confused with combinations of A, E and C. A EC is Atomic Energy Commission, headed by David E. Lilienthal. CEA is Council of Eco nomic Advisers, headed by Dr. Edwin C. Nourse. CAE is Commit tee on Atomic Energy, headed by Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper of Iowa. ECA is Economic Coonera. tion Administration, headed bv Paul G. Hoffman. CEA is also Commodity Exchange Authority, headed by J. M. MehX ECA is also Emergency Court of Appeals, headed by Judge A. B. Maris. So far there Is no ACE, but give 'em time. Col. John Thomas Taylor, American Legion's principal Washington lobbyist, is hostile to any plans for making the GI Bill of Rights benefits apply to the new peace-time draftees. Though all these new rookies are potential members for the Legion and other vets' orranizations, there la opposition to letting the peace-time soldier share the bene fits enjoyed by the war vets.

Nine of the twelve Federal Re serve Banks yesterday raised their discount rate from one and one-fourth per cent to one and one-half per cent, effective to- dav. The action is the second gov ernment measure raising interest rates In what Secretary of the Treasury Snyder called "a furth er anti-inflationary measure." The discount rare is the inter-, eat rate charged by the federal reserve system when member , banks borrow money from the system using their holdings of government bonds and notes as security. i The Federal Reserve announc ed that It has approved the in crease on the part of these nine federal Keserve nanus: Boston, New York, Cleveland, Richmond, ; Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas and San Francisco. A board spokesman said that the other three Kansas City, . St. Louis and Philadelphia would take similar action short-1 iy- The Treasury Department on Monday boosted the interest rate on short-term government securi ties. Treasury certificates wnicn have paid one and one-eighth per cent will be pegged in the next offering at one and one fourth per cent. Bonds To B. Rtdesmod Secretary Snyder announced that all outstanding two per cent Treasury bonds of 1948-50, dated December 8, 1939. are called for redemption on December 15. There are $571,431,150 of these bonds oustanding, Snyder said. The action is part of the gov ernment's campaign against In flation. The redemption of this issue will tighten the bond mar ket by removing the securities from dealing, and will reduce bank holdings of the Issue. The latter In turn will reduce the amount of commercial paper which hanks may carry on using the Treasury as a reserve. Progressive Party Not Red in Belief, I Wallace Declares I NEW YORK, Aug. 13.i.PV Henry Wallace says his Progres sive Party will not tolerate "any one who preaches the overthrow of the government by force and violence. ' The Third Party presidential candidate made the statement last night In a broadcast, his first of ficial campaign talk. He added, however, that "I have not conducted and never intend to conduct a purge of the Progressive Partv on the basis of past political affiliations " "I nave said that I do not be lieve In Communism, and the Progressive Party does not be lieve In Communism," Wallace said. "Nobody has tried to make the Progressive Party believe In Com munism. 'The di f ference between us and the Communists is that most Progressive, while completely distrustful of monopoly capital Ism, still think It 1 possible through an aroused electorate and decentralized government planning to develop a progres sive capitalism which will pre vent war, scarcity and depres sion." The Progressive Party cer tainly does not believe In force and violence," he said, "and we will not tolerate In the Progres sive Party anyone who preaches the overthrow of the govern ment by force and violence, or who commlta any act which un dermines our constitutional government."
