A Portland, Ore., youth told po
lice ,he stole a 300-pound safe to

Detective Sgt. Herman Beck

book ol the company's cheeks and
dumped the safe in a creek. He
returned to the Alaska Distribut
ing Co. and filled in a number of
the checks on the lirms check
protector, then tried to cash one

This was his downfall. The tai
lor called police, saying he
thought the handwriting "didn't
look right." They were waiting
lor Lyons wnen he returned to
pick up the suit.
The detectives said Lyons told
them he had wanted money to
buy his girl a Christmas present

Prosperity Cooperation
Requested by Truman
(Continued from Page One)
even to mention the price de
clines of recent months. Today's
message had this reassurance:
1. "It is possible that we mav
not, In fact, be forced to use such
controls" as the standby price,
wage and allocation powers he
wants on the law books.
2. The tax policy "should be
flexible and should be promptly
adjusted to the changing needs of
nusiness ana consumers an lm-
J)lied promise to lower rates again
f a recession hits.
3. Price ceilings, if they are In
voked on key materials, will be
selective and not the "general or
over-all price control of the war
time variety." Any legislation
should encourage voluntary price
cuts before ceilings are clamped
on.
4. Private enterprise Is the na
tion's prime reliance "for econom-

ic results," aided by a "vigorous
government and the mutual re
spect and trust that we all hold
lor one another."
Would Repeal Oleo Tax
The president demanded rent
control extension for at least
two years." Today's legislative
recommendations followed in the
main his Wednesday program,
with this additional tax proposal:
some new excise taxes may
ne uesiraDie, along witn the rise
in corporation, gilt and estate
levies and the possible boosts in
middle and upper bracket income
taxes, tsut tne oleomareirine tax
and some others "should be re
pealed." Mr. Truman also asked exten
sion of the law under which steel
and other scarce materials are
allocated to vital industries bv
voluntary industry agreement.
But he added: "There is grave
danger that the problems of
acute shortage cannot be ade
quately met by voluntary agree
ments. I therefore ' recommend
that the use of mandatory allo
cation powers be authorized . . ."
On the Issue of price control,
Mr. Truman also declared him
self convinced that voluntary ef
forts "cannot meet the problem
unless the government possesses
the power to act firmly."
While wage increases should
be limited if they would other
wise cause a break in price ceil
ings, Mr. Truman said, there
exist some current situations
"where non-lnflatlonary wage in
creases can be granted by em
ployers without price increases.'
He again scolded the housing
inuusiry jor "nricine itself out
of the market." And again he
asked for strengthened rent con
trol, slum clearance, and a public
housing program to build 1.000..
000 low-rent dwellings in seven
years
Mr. Truman opened his mes
sage on a note of high optimism.
"The people of the United
States have just enjoyed another
year of bountiful prosperity." he
reported. But he soon moved on
to a warning tone:
"Let us all remember that our
unparalled prosperity has not
been maintained by chance, and
that we can lose it if we leave
the iuture to chance. . . ."
The government's firm com
mitment to an anti-inflation pol-

that the government Is equally
committed to an anti denression
policy," Mr. Truman said.
"In fact, curbing inflation Is
the first step toward preventing
depression."
In his review of 1948, Mr. Tru
man noted that wages went up

"Profits in 1948 surpassed all
previous records and were rising
throughout the year," he report
ed, citing a profit total of $21,

1947.
"As I pointed out a year ao,
such profits are in excess of the

cause he is chairman of
Senate Labor commit lee.
Thomas acknowledged in a
Senate speech yesterday that
furl her labor legislation Is "called
: for beyond the more restora
tion of the Wagner Act. Hut he
didn't call for it in the bill he
Introduced.
Unions Favor Wagner Act
He chose rather to follow an
Immediate course which is in
line with labor union demands.
The unions want to get lid of
Taft-Hartley and go back to the
j Wagner Act first of all. Then
they and their congressional
friends would be in a better
bargaining position to rpsist the
re-enactment of those parts of
the Taft-Hartley Law they call
objectionable.
The Wagner Act of 1935, often
called "labor's magna carla."
guaranteed the rights of workers,
to organize and bargain collec
tively through unions of their
own choosing. It also created the
National Labor Relations Board
to enforce these rights.
In 1947, Congress re-wrote the
Wagner Act in order to curb
some union practices and im
prove the position of employers.
Congress also passed new provi
sions relating to national emer
gencies, an Independent media
tion service, and olher things.
All those things the new ver
sion of the Wagner Act and the
added provisions were put into
one big bill. Tills was the Taft
Hartley An.
Under Thomas' proposal only
one Taft-Hartley feature would
remain: The Labor Hoard would
continue with lis present five
members, instead of going back
lo three members as in the old
Wagner Act.
President Truman recommend
ed that Congress repeal the
Taft-Hartley law and restore the
old Wagner Act with certain
changes.

Sen. Magnuson Silent
On Reported Romance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-4.n
Widespread reports of a romance
between Senator Magnuson and a
sUiro and screen beauty failed to
day to bring any response from
the Washington slate lawmaker.
His office reported it still had
no word from the 43-year-old
Democrat.
Associates said they assume (a)
Magnuson must have seen pub
lished stories linking his name
with that of June Millard, 25-year-old
heiress-actress and (b)
If he wanted to confirm or deny
the stories he would have issued
a statement.
Magnuson was recorded as
"necessarily absent" when the
81st Congress convened Monday.
Shortly afterward reports were
circulated that Miss Millard, al.
so known as Toni Seven, had left
New York with the intention of
marrying the once-wedbut-dl-vorced
senator.
Softer Policy Toward
Reds Denied by Truman
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. im
President Truman denied today,
emphatically and in detail, a pub
lished story that he is engaged In
a fight within his cabinet to
soften U. S. policy toward Russia.
At his news conference the
chief executive asserted that there
Is no change in this country's
foreign policy.
He said the article, by Jay
Franklin in Life Magazine, is
without foundation in fact in
nearly every instance and para
graph. Mr. Truman said further that
he never had a private conference
or Interview with Franklin in his
life.
He said the writer had been In
to see him about a Job a couple of
times and that was all he knew.
Franklin never saw a top secret
document, the President said.

sistant budget director, to re
place him as head of the Budget

onicer in tne Budget Bureau,

Umpqua. Only one member, who
had not previously been excused,
was missing from the meeting.
Means of keeping up the club
member attendance to a maxi
mum during the coming months,
program possibilities and a dis
cussion of future projects took up
most of the meeting. The club
voted that a house committee be
appointed to study future attend
ance problems.
Carl Felker, vice-president, pre
sided in the absence of Dr. L. M.
Lehrbach, president, who is out

British government officials pri
vately expressed entnusiasm to-
day over Dean Aeheson's appoint
ment as United States Secretary
01 aiaie.
One informant In touch with
cabinet opinion said Acheson is
considered "a friend of Britain."
When told about Aeheson's ap
pointment this source exclaimed:
"Oh, good."
There was no immediate offi
cial foreign office reaction to the
resignations of George Marshall
and Robert Lovett as Secretary
and Assistant Secretary of State.
But, again prlvalely, officials
said they were sorry to see Mar
shall go after all "his fine out

him A man who has always un

Statewide testing of automo

A new motor transportation
act, based only on weight of

ted, to replace the present com

Labor will ask for repeal of the
1947 laws banning secondary boy
cotts, hot cargo actions and juris
dictional disputes. But these will
probably stay on the books, since
the Republicans lead the Demo

in the Senate 20 to 10.
Employers and labor also will
tangle over labor's demand for
increased unemployment and ac
