STATE OF THE UNION
Fulton Levis Jr.
or
By CHARLES V. STANTON
PresiHcnt Truman's State of the Union message ap-.
peared to us to be more of a report on the state of the Faif
Deal, which state, it might be observed, is somewhat of
a mess.
The President was reported to be speaking "confi
dently" of winning through t world peace. "We can lose if
we falter," he declared.
If his words are true, we might as well quit now, for
all the wfvering, faltering, vacillating and appeasing his
administration has been doing certainly fails to conform
to his expressed belief in the need for steadfastness.
The message was more conservative in demands and
presentation than that of last year's. Some of the cockiness
was lacking. The President actually "appealed" at
times instead of "telling."
Some hint of the viciousness to be expected in the
forthcoming presidential election race may be observed in
his warning that "We have a great responsibility to con
duct our political fights in a manner that does not harm
the national interest." It is quite evident that the Pres
ident is anticipating Republican use of scandals within the
administration family and is actually appealing that they
be soft-pedaled. He struck back at congressional investi
gations and exposures by saying "Congress can do a great
deal to strengthen confidence in our institutions by apply
ing rigorous standards of moral integrity to its own op
erations." He paved the way for the anticipated argu
ment by the Democratic party during the forthcoming cam
paign, when Republicans will be accused of huge expend
itures of money, to win the election by suggesting the find
ing "of an effective way to control campaign expenditures."
Old Promises Trotted Out
The old tried-and-true campaign strategy, character
izing the socialistic regime, was polished off in proposing
boosts in social security payments and benefits for veter
ans. Such suggestions will appeal to thousands of voters,
and Congress can be blamed because the people don't get
them. ,
It appears to us there was nothing new in the Pres
ident's message just more of the same. The same
platitudes, the same fear-provoking statements, the same
political strategy. .
Perhaus our opinion is colored by our intense prejudice
against the socialistic trends of the administration, but it
appeared that tha President was paving the way for the
coming political campaign rather than giving the Congress
and the people of this country an honest inventory of con
ditions, i -
The President cannot justify the failures of his admin
istration. He can find no justification for the situation in
Korea, particularly the fact that supremacy in the air ap
. parently has been wrested from our forces. Having built
our plan of warfare upon supremacy in the air, the cur
rent situation in which we find ourselves badly outnum
bered by enemy fighter planes, and with our own forces
prevented from bombing the bases from which enemy
ships operate, may presage staggering losses and rever
sals in the near future.
He cannot justify the corruption, graft and influence
pedaling going on under his nose, nor the presence in his
official family of numerous Red sympathizers and fellow
travelers. He cannot justify the staggering bureaucracy
and federal payroll padding the expensive structure
created for political purposes. V ,
His message on the State of the Union, "when coupled
with the past activities and policies of the administration,
can lead us only to the conclusion that the Socialist-Democratic
party has been too long in power; that it has be
come too corrupt and too inefficient to remain in power. :

WASHINGTON Charles P. Taft, brother of Senator
Robert A. Taft, is forcing the political action committee of
the C.I.O. to perform some neat bookkeeping tricks. Brother
Charles is the Fair Deal Republican candidate for gov
ernor of Ohio. The senator is an announced candidate for
the Republican nomination for the presidency, t
The CIO-PAC loves Charles and
hates Robert. During the 1950 Ohio
campaign for the senator's re-elec
tion, the ciu-fAD villilied the
senator with crude abuse and
false attacks. Now the hatchet
men of the union organization are
going to have to keep their Tafts
widely separated in their 1952
propaganda, it ougni io De some
thing to see.
In announcing for the governor
ship race, Charles Taft also pre
sented Ohio Republicans with some
complicated problems. If he runs
on his record he will be in conflict
with the record of virtually every
other candidate on the Republican
ticket, both (or state and congres
sional offices. But many primary
voters won't be able to distinguish
between the two Tafts, and the
Senator's record could help nom
inate his brother Charles. On the
other hand, a clear cut appraisal
of the political record of the two
Tafts could hurt the presidential
chances of the senator, if Repub
lican voters carry their resent
ment against Charles into the No
vember elections.
Charles Taft has had many New
Deal and Fair Deal assignments
from the White House. He also is
on record in a number of instances
as opposing the views of his
brother on national affairs. And
the opposition usually involved ba
sic issues between me uur and
the present administration.
Charles Taft's first job for the
Democrats was in 1937, when he
was appointed by Secretary of La
bor Frances Perkins, as a mem
ber of the federal steel strike me
diation board. In 1941 he served
along with . Joseph E. Davies,
former ambassador to Russia, and
Dr. Frederick P. Kcppsl, on a
commiltce to study co ordination
oi private relief fund raising programs.
From 1942 through 1951, Charles
Taft accepted 12 additional White
House assignments. Five of them
were on State Department policy
committees, including service dur
ing 1951 as chairman of an ad
visory committee on voluntary for
eign aid. Earlier, in 1945, he held
an even higher post, as a mem-

ber of the coordinating commit
tee of the State Department. This
was an executive staff committee
that operated at a policy-making
level.
Charles Taft first came to the
attention of Franklin D. Roosevelt
during the late President's -1936
campaign against Alt Landon, ot
Kansas, when Taft wrote a book,
"You And I And Roosevelt."
which didn't do FDR any harm.
The younger Taft also is noted
for his activity in the Carnegie
Foundation, the Twentieth century
Fund, the Committee for Eco
nomic Development, and ..as
president of the Federal Council
of Churches of Christ in America.
The Carnegie Foundation has de
veloped into an adjunct of the Fair
Deal, and sponsors countless so
cial welfare schemes and studies,
usually under the direction of
those following the . Democratic
party ideals.
Charles Taft's campaign helpers
reply to these facts with the argu
ment that the younger Taft has
campaigned far the Republican
candidates for the President In
every campaign since-1928, with
the exception at 1944. In 1936,
Charles Taft worked for the Re
publican National committee. -
The fact remains, however, that
at least in local politics in Ohio,
Charles Taft has the political sup
port' of the CIO-PAC, has some
times cooperated with the Demo
crats in municipal elections and on
occasion has viewed the Repub
lican organizations In the state
with something less than affection.
Maybe he isn't as much of an
administration captive as GOP
Senator Wayne Morse, of Oregon,
or various other senators who
masquerade as Republicans. But
the fact remains that his entry
into Ohio state politics isn't doing
his brother's political efforts any
good, as almost any Ohio Repub
lican will tell you.

WASHINGTON The govern-,
ment Tuesday lowered raw wool
ceiling prices an average of slight- j
ly more than 21 per cent.
Wool futures ceilings were chang-
ed to make them identical with spot
wool ceilings.
The Office of PrlceStabilizatlon
said orders will be issued soon
rolling back ceiling price on wool
yarns and fabrics in keeping with
the new raw wool ceilings,
OPS said wool prices will re
main about 40 per cent higher than
current market prices.
But, the agency added, the order
will insure that the prices of wool
clothing will go no higher than pres
ent levels.
OPS officials pointed out that
wool fabrics, yarns and clothing
are selling at well below existing
ceilings. The agency stressed that
lowering of the wool ceilings will
not mean lower selling prices for
products made of wool.

Queen Picking Halts,
New Crop Awaited
PONTIAC, IU. (' The Pontiac
Junior Chamber of Commerce has
voted to quit picking a queen for
the annual summer Threshermen's
reunion. . .,
John Thompson, Jaycee president
explained the decision: .
"The' local talent has been ex
hausted and we are going to wait
a couple of years for a new crop."
The reunion attracts thousands of
visitors to. Pontiac, a Northern Il
linois community of 9,000 population.
Wool ceilings set last May were
based on wool prices which had
risen sharply after the outbreak
of fighting in Korea. Since last
May when the ceilings were fixed
wool prices have dropped off sharp
ly and the new ceilings reflect .this
decrease.
The order Is effective within 90
days. By that time, OPS officials
said, the order setting new ceilings
on wool yarns and fabrics can be
issued to become effective with the
new raw wool ceilings April S.

us face to face again with the
$64 question:
How are vou goin- to make a
deal with cattle like that?
I'd say the only way we can
make a satisfactory deal with these
power-mad communists is to have
back of us force enough to back
up whatever we say.
Then '
When we get force enough back
of us
We should change our tacticsl
' Instead of dealing in bar room
insults, we should speak ALWAYS
mildly and courteously. The firm
words' of a' mild man who has
what it takes to BACK UP HIS
WORDS carry great weight.
They carry more weight in a
minute than blustering words carry
in an hour. Everybody discounts
a blusterer. v
Let's go back to Teddy Roose

"Speak softly and ' carry a big
stick."

"Bail of $2000 held Milton S. An
thony, 56, in, jail Saturday on a
charge of counterfeiting at the
state prison. The government's
case will be that the counterfeit
ing was done while Anthony was
serving a term in the Oregon pen
itentiary." It was DIMES he counterfeited,
and so far as known he made only
50 of them. He used a crude
mold inlo which he poured Babbit
metal. I'd guess that the metal
cost about as much as a dime is
worth.
Why did he do it
BOREDOM, probably.
That's one of the inhorent de
fects of our prison system. Inmates
of our penitentiaries have little or
nothing to do that hy any slrech

as constructive.

Impound their wages, perhaps.
Pay them the money when they
have served out their terms, thus
giving them a little honest capital
to start out on. Maybe that might
help them to go straight.
It certainly couldn't be any
worse than our present system.
