IT'S A NEAT TRICK
Great Expectations
. By Charles V. Stanton
Again we're being played for suckers.
The Truman gang is giving us a game of political patty
0u it hnnna we'll ha fnnlisli onouch to fall for its orona-
f3 BRnd'a line. And, we expect, a good many people actually
f !i will ha tnkpn in. ,
On one side we have part of the gang clamouring for a
special session of Congress to tighten price controls. But
the other half of the gang argues that if Congress came back,
it would simply engage in politics.
Don't count the Truman gang short on political savvy.
The Socialist-Democrat party has been outsmarting the Re
publicans right down the line.
They've tossed us a lot of curves and change-of-pace
balls in the past. Now they're crossing us up with a high,
fast one.
It should be obvious that any special session of Congress
would be worse than useless. Certainly Congress wouldn't
enact any new control legislation before November. With
the possibility of a change in administration coming up, any
sensible Congress would wait to see whether new policies
were to be brought into the executive branch. By the time a
special session would be convened, control legislation framed,
' studied, amended and passed, it would be election time, even
though Congress acted with unusual haste.
Fooling The Ppblic
A special session of Congress couldn't pass the proposed
legislation before November unless it rubber-stamped an ad
ministration bill. Congress certainly wouldn't be foolish
enough to pass any new controls until the temper of the na
tion's voters is divulged by the November elections. Admin
istration leaders know this. So, what is the purpose of the
political jockeying appearing in the headlines of our news
papers? m
One section of the Truman gang rants about increasing
prices and the necessity of legislative controls. It demands
that Congress be called back to halt the upward spiral.
Of course prices are going up. The administration will
' do its best to force them up. Presidential pressure to force
a steel settlement right at party convention time shows what i
the administration is doing. The settlement was accom
panied by loud shouts of higher prices. If the administra
tion was as much concerned about living costs as it professes,
would it not have combatted demands for higher wages,
knowing that steel sets the general pattern for industry?
You may rest assured that the administration will do its
utmost to foment dissatisfaction by keeping prices high. Then
it will place the blame on Republicans in Congress, pointing
ia refusal of Congress to pass control legislation for which
.the President made such a fuss in the early days of the ses
sion, even though he had authority at that time to do virtu
ally everything his propose! program would have granted.
,', ' The strategy of the Truman gang is to keep everyone
dissatisfied, frightened and confused, while placing ' the
" blame everywhere except where it belongs.
Congress Is Target
Even deeper strategy surrounds the special session prop
aganda. ' . While one section cries for emergency legislation to keep
prices down, the other side says that if Congress came back
it would only talk politics.
The inference is, of course, that Republicans in Congress
wouldn't permit anything to be done. . Actually, much of the
Socialistic legislation from the Truman gang was killed off
. in the Inst session, not by Republicans, but by anil-Trumnn
Democrats. Certainly those members wouldn't approve price
control legislation.
Should the President call a special session, the only re
- suit would be a waste of money.
But the issue gives opportunity for spokesmen to get
their propaganda printed in newspapers.
So the little scheme they now are working is to capital
ize upon the public's deep concern about rising living costs by
defaming and disparaging Congress with the hope of gaining
congressional scats at the November election.
It's a neat political trick. And, what's worse, it may
work.

WASHINGTON Before Gen. P. T. Mow, who has yet
to account for some $7,000,000 or so in funds claimed by the
Chinese Nationalist Government, fled to Mexico an attempt
was made to serve legal papers on him and his attorney, Wil
liam Roberts.
John G. Broady, a New York
attorney hired by the late Robert
P. Patterson, former secretary of
war. was assigned the task of
keeping track of the Chinese Gc.i-
oral Mow. Broady charges in
sworn testimony before a Senate
investigating committee that he
was slugged by Mow's attorney,
Roberts. He considers this minor,
compared to other activity in
missing. There are two versions of
how Mow got to Mexico. Both are
contained in sworn teslimony be
fore the Senate Committee. Des
pite the contrary versions, :l is
admitted that Mow is there; :ht
his attorneys, William Roberts and
Warren Woods, visited him there;

I wonder if the same strategic

"Plitty soon no more Americans."

WASHINGTON Gen. Eisenhower and Gov. Ste

Issues don't just float around in

used in the campaign.
Not even Eisenhower and Stev

this campaign the difference be

Napoleon III kvrtor
Of Surrender Found
BOLOGNA, Italy I - The docu

looking for the past 80 yean hat
been discovered in the archives
of a count here.
The document is the signed let
ter with which Naooleon III, last
emperor of France, surrendered
at Sedan to Wilhelm I of Germany.
The document disappeared from
the German court between 1872
and 1875.
The letter lays: "Mister my
brother, as I was unable to die in
the midst of my troops. I have
only to hand my sword in the
hands of Your Majesty. I am, of

' Horsemeat Adlai should brush

Stevenson was on the receiving
end of a dig about the Hiss matter
even before he was nominated.
This happened at the Democratic
convention during the polling of a
state delegation.
About a week ago Sen. Everett

Here's the trouble with your
thinking, Roger:
You and your buddies have fig

in power you must convince the
public that all good things FLOW
FROM THE GOVERNMENT
ALONE. You- story is that the
government imposes price con
trols, anu ihereiore it is Ihc brtiiv
ficent government ALONE that
keeps prices from running away
and ruining everybody.
Ike's idea is different. He thinks
the price problem will solve it
self if the government will quit
spending the people's substance
in riotous living, thus debasing the
value of the people's money and
making it purchase less and less
t ic time.
Personally, Roger, I prefer Ike's
formula to yours, I'm getting tired
