""He saith among the trump
ets. Ha, ha; and he smelleth the
battle far off, the thunder of
the captains, and the shouting."
Now we know why Joe Carson
flc" from , the Potomac to his
home in Oregon. His announce
ment Monday night of his can
didacy for governor, made over
radio and television, reveals his
purpose. Joe is back. Like the
warhorse of Job, he smelled the
political battle from afar.
"He paweth in the valley, and
rejoiceth in his strength; he
goeth on to meet the armed
men."
Carson served two terms as
mayor of Portland, in depression
times, and in that time the city's
debt was all or largely exting
uished. Later he served on the
U. S. Maritime commission, also
served in the navy during the
war. In recent years he has been
engaged in law practice in Wash
ington. Some months ago he re
turned to Portland and resumed
law practice there.
Carson comes forward with a
program obviously bent to .at
tract certain blocs of voters; gov
ernment - power development;
liberalizing laws for "senior citi
rens"; nursing homes for the
aged; and a genuflection toward
labor. Something of a catchall
program, just a bit out of char
acter for Joe, whose identity has
been with the more conservative
segment of the Democratic Party.
What competition Carson will
have in the' primaries is not
clear at the moment. Perhaps
none. The real battle then would
occur in the fall. Despite Car
son's long absence from the state
he shouldn't be discounted by
Republicans. The latter will need
to get behind the stronger of the
two candidates now offering
themselves for this office, to in
sure retention of control of the
governorship.

Butter !

Supports
Slashed !
By JERRY T. BAULCH j
WASHINGTON 1 The govern
ment Monday announced a slash of
about eight cents a pound in feder
al price supports for butter, which
it expects wjll be passed on to the
housewife sometime after April 1.
The action brought cries of pro
test from some dairy producers
and some congressmen from pre
dominantly hulk producing states
They called the Agriculture De
partment's jmove premature and
discriminatory and estimated it
would cost dairy farmers as much
as one billion dollars a year.:
To Cut Majrket Cost f
In cutting dairy products price
supports to the legal minimum
starting April 1 from 90 to 75 per
cent of phrity the department
aimed at reducing butter costs on
grocers' shelves and thereby stim
ulating sales and heading off an
increase in jthe already heavy sur
plus of dairy products. j
The National Milk Producers
Federation ;said the support stash
"will drop milk producers back
into the depression era prices and
cost them jan estimated one bil
lion dollars in income."
To Ask Cut Limited j
The federation announced it will
ask Congress to limit the cut to
nearly three cents a pound. This,
it said, would be in line with Pres
ident Eisenhower's farm message
that downward price support! ad
justments vvould be gradual, lim
ited to 5 per cent of parity a year
The government's action "will
take the hide right off the dairy
farmer," skid John J. Blaska, di
rector of Dairyland Cooperative in

Beck Rejects Protest
Over Fund Investment
By NORMAN WALKER
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (JP) AFL Teamsters Union President Dave
Beck said Monday he feels he has a free hand in investing the un
ion's 32 million dollar assets despite a union constituional provision
limiting bond holdings to $50,000 in any one company.
Beck, who contends his million dollar "loan" of union money to
a Detroit trailer firm is "a damn sound investment," said he knew
nothing of a formal protest made
by an ousted West Coast union
leader that Beck's financial oper
ations violate the union's consti
tution. Martin Crouse. former official
of a Yakima, Wash., Teamsters
local, announced last week he had
sent a formal protest to the un
ion's International Execu
tive Board, meeting here, regard
ing the loans and asking for Beck's
removal as union president.
Full Agenda
Beck told reporters Monday the
Crouse charges could not in any
case come before the Executive
Board meeting this week because
of an already full agenda
Previously Beck had related how
he took money out of low interest
government bonds and loaned
more than a million dollars to the
Fruehauf Trailer Co., Detroit, at
a higher rate of 4 per cent.
He also said he invested $233,
000 union funds in the Pacific Fi
nance Co.. a California firm, but
sold these holdings last week for
a $15,000 profit.
Complaint Lodged
Crouse complained the union's
constitution prohibits the union Fi
nance Committee, composed of
Beck, Secretary-Treasurer John
English and David Kaplan, the un
ion's chief economist, from invest
ing any more than $50,000 in any
one Firm.
Beck, however, said the union
Executive Board authorized the
Finance Committee last July 7 to
"purchase first mortgage loans,
veteran loans and other forms of
investments." ,
"My construction of that," Beck
said, "is that we can buy any
thing that has adequate security."

Chore Devised
WASHINGTON (fl - The time
may come soon when about 35 mil
lion wage earners will be relieved
of the chore of filing federal in
come tax returns although they
still will have to pay their taxes.
A House Appropriations Sub
committee disclosed Monday that
T Coleman Andrews, commission
er of Internal Revenue, has report
ed considerable progress in a plan
under which no tax returns would
be required from persons whose
entire income is subject to payroll
withholding for tax: purposes.
Andrews, in testimony given to
the subcommittee : behind closed
doors two weeks ago and just made
public, said he thinks the plan can
be put into effect next year.
Employers would then file a sin
gle report, covering both income
taxes and social security taxes.
The government would compute
the tax and send the taxpayer eith
er a bill or a refund.
Those who prefer to make out
! their own returns would still be
permitted to do so, an Internal

In New York,! retired Gen.
George Kenney, Lindbergh's
"boss" during a fpart of World
War II in the Pacific, called the
proposal "highly deserved, and a
long time coming.?,
Lindbergh himself had nothing
to say. The Air Force said he had
not sought the appointment, but
had been consulted about it and
had agreed to accept it if tendered.
Lindbergh resigned his commis
sion as a colonel in the Army Air
Corps Reserve in? 1941 after be
coming "greatly disturbed" at im
plications by President Franklin
D. Roosevelt "conicerning my loy
alty to my country."
