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.

Federal Reserve
Banks Increase
Rate of Discount
WASHINGTON. Aue. 13. .?
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."

Caust Firt Alarm
A pile of lumber scraps being
