U.S.White Paper On China Effort To Whitewash State Dept., Rep. Ellsworth Says ; WASHINGTON. Aug. 23 ( Spe rial) "In the eventual balancing pi accounts, the fall of China mav prove to be more decisive l hall 4he atomic bomb," Represenla Jive Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore) said on the floor of the House of Representatives in an address M hich branded Secretary of State Dean Acheson's recent while pa per on China "an effort to ex cuse the Inexcusable." As a member of Congress from the state of Oregon, Mr. E1U worth explained that China's fail lo the Communists is of deep con cern particularly to the west toast which still remembers that Jt was the only part of the con tinental United States to be un der acual enemy gunfire during World War II. Thus, said the con gressman, Americans living on the Pacific coast are Intensely concerned with the results of any policy in the Pacific and Far JEast for "if there is to be any ifateful blunder on tht part of our plate Department in the Pacific area, it is we on the West Coast who will feel the first brunt .if it." Instead ot finding the China Dr. E. W. Carter Chiropodist Foot Specialist 129 N. Jackson Phon.1170 Over Rexall Drug Stor. I I) ' NOW - of your favorit food iloro! white paper a frank and full dis cussion of the Chinese situation. Mr. Ellsworth told members of the House of Representatives that he was shocked to discover it was only an attempt to white wash the "long list of terrible failures and blunders by which we have been presented with ca tastrophic failure In Asia." Not only does the while paper fail to explain the past mysteries of our policy in China, said Mr. Ellsworth, but it also fails to out line any future policy other than a futile "wait and see." This at titude, he feels, will mean "wail" while the Communists take over the rest of China, and "see" the Kremlin rule China as it does other Communist dominated countries. Far from an encouragement to the Nationalist Government In China, the representative from Oregon sees Secretary Acheson's letter of transmittal prefacing the white paper a "criticism of the legal Chinese government In the most vigorous and unrestrained manner. 1 know of no such as sault against a free government and an ally in all our history." Citing the record of American policy in China, Mr. Ellsworth points out that rather than hav ing strengthened the Nationalist government in the past the Unl ed Sates in many actions and statements showed China its place in our esteem was inferior to that of the Soviet union. How asks Representative Ellsworth, can President Truman and the : tate department justify forsak ing the Nationalist government in China (faulty though it wasl or anv form of free government, for that matter, when the only alternative is Communism under Russian control? Paper Doesn't Explain Almost In one breath, says Mr. Ellsworth, the United States wis giving Manchuria to the Russians and urging a blending of the Na tionalists and Communists in Chi na, yet we were, and are, doing everything in our power to check the spread of Communism In Eu rope. The mystery of this two headed policy, a monster of the Truman administration, the con gressman feels, is not explained by the white paper. Mr. Ells worth believes that among the prominent officials In the Stale department were many individ uals who would bear Investiga tion: "There can be little doubt i Us ; (j.

This assurance was made Mon day in a joint union-management news letter distributed to 1,000 shippers. The news letter was accom panied bv a memorandum, sign- I shori-men's and Warehousemen's union and the Pacific Maritime association. The memorandum said the statement in the news letter "represents what In our honest opinion now is n virtual guarantee against spread of the Hawaiian strike to the Pacific coast." "In the past several days." said the news letter, "there has been specula! ion concerning a possible tie-up of West coast shipping arising out of planned efforts by the Matson Naviga tion company to load Hawaiian bound cargoes at San Francises for Honolulu. . . . "San Francisco longshoremen were requested on last Thursday to commence loading cargoes for this vessel (SS Hawaiian re finer) and refused to cross pick et lines of Honolulu members of their union. "This refusal was Immediately processed by the union and the Pacific Maritime association un der the coast longshore dispute machinery. ... It was agreed . . . that the question of refusal to handle the cargoes would be negotiated. "Because of this agreement. the parties are able to announce Individual Amtrican Inconws Inertast During 1948 An Intelligent plan for the fu ture. rather than clumsy excuses tnat West coast ports are free of for the past and meaningless rhe-js,rikp danger over the Hawaiian toric, is the desire of the Am- dock tieun erican people, said Renresenta tive Ellsworth in his closing re marks. "Nationalist China now has collapsed. That grim fact does not mean that we dare turn our backs on the Far East and blindly agree to the wait-and-see policy enunciated by Secretary Acheson. There must be some plan for salvaging freedom in Asia. Otherwise we shall inevit ably find our continent surround ed by the cold steel of the red army." The union's position . . .has been that even if the union were held in violation of the contract for refusal to work this ship, no coast tie-up would result, and the men would slay on the Job pending negotiations of the ques tion." Decision to negotiate the dis pute was the first step in the grievance procedure provided in the coast contract.

The Individual income of the av erage American reached a new high of $1,410 last year as com pared with $1,319 in 1947. A report issued by the Com merce department this week-end covered individual Income as dis tinguished by the take of cor porationsfrom all sources. The dollar total of $206,000, 000,000 it showed for 148 bet tered 1947 by nine percent, but a gain in population trimmed the individual average back to seven percent. The largest regional gain was 12 percent credited to eight cen tral states, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. The smallest Increases, six per cent, were in the six New Eng land states, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont; and four far western states, Cali fornia, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. The only two declines reported were four percent in North Da kota and one percent In Kansas. From a per capita or average standpoint, New York led the country with $1,891 in 1948 while Mississippi was at the bottom with $7a8. Rent Control Fund Is Still Debated WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. (. The argument about rent control boiled up again for the Senate today. The specific question Is wheth er to reconsider a $17,500,000 ap propriation which the rent direc tor, Tighe Woods, says is not enough to keep rent controls go ing at the present rate. (Woods has said that If Con gress doesn't increase funds for his agency, he will have to lift controls from one-third of the ar eas still having them. Further, he says he may have to rely on volunteer citizen help to watch over controls in some of the two thirds remaining.) President Truman asked $26. 750.000 to operate the office of Housing Expediter during the vear that began Julv 1. The Sen ate cut this down to $21,667,500 but a Senate-House conference whacked off another $4,167,500 to $17,500,000. Senator Douglas (Dill), with the support of President Tru man and others who favor rent controls, contend this amounts to making it impossible to enforce the rent ceilings and so. In ef fect, partially nullifying the law. He has a motion pending to re consider previous Senate appro val of the conference report. Vig orous debate, of undetermined length, was in store before a vote. Senator Cain (R-Washl, Brick er (R-Ohlo), Wherry (R-Neb) and others are on the opposite side. They contend that the $17,500, 000 should be ample. Tu Aug. 23, 1949 The Newt-Review, Roteburg, Or. Price Support Limits Demanded By Demo Leader WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. (IP) Senate Democratic Leader Lucas Monday demanded "drastic changes" in the government's price-support programs and bills pending before Congress. The Illinois senator said he fav ors limiting government price supporting loans and purchases to a few basic or major crops such as corn, wheat, cotton and others on which planting and marketing controls can be op erated. He said Secretary of Agricul ture Rrannan should have broad authority to support prices of all other "non-basic commodities" such as meats, dairy products, fruits and less important crops with broad standards set by con gress. Unless congress cuts back the present farm-price support pro grams to a few basic crops, Lucas told reporters: "People will be so bitter that we'll break the whole federal farm program down." The Senate leader's blast came after a meeting of the Senate Agriculture committee of which he Is a member. At this hearing Secretary Bran nan gave qualified support to a compromise plan by Senator Anderson (D.-N. M.) Brannan told the committee the Anderson plan would provide somewhat higher government price support levels than a flexi ble price plan voted by congress last year. Actual operations of that program are not due to be gin until Jan. 1. , PORTLAND CRACKS DOWN PORTLAND, Aug. 23.-PV The city made its first crack down In the antlDunch board campaign here Friday.
