Nourse Says Truman Ignored
Advisers on Nations Economy
Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, who resigned as chairman of the presi
dent's council of economic advisers last fall, charged in Collier's
today that President Truman never discussed with the three-man
council its analyses and suggestions bearing on the economy of
the listion.
At the same time, the former
top economic adviser of the
country said that the other
members of the council "want
ed to advance philosophies or
causes for which they had a
personal enthusiasm." Dr.
Nourse served on the council
with Leon H. Keyserling and Dr.
John D. Clark.
Dr. Nourse gave his reasons
for quitting the economic post
In this week's Collier's in an
article entitled "Why I Had To
Step Aside."
"On no occasion did the coun
cil have so much as a single
' hour's time in which we could
sit down, with the President
to answer any question that
arose in his mind, clarify data,
or examine alternative courses
and probable consequences,"
he wrote In the national week
ly. "We learned of his final policy
decisions through an assistant
or an assistant to an assistant on
the White House staff."
The Council was set up by
the Employment Act of 1048 as
a small advisory agency with
no administrative powers or re
sponsibilities and its members
were to analyze and interpret
economic developments and to
formulate and recommend na
tional economic policy.
Dr. Nourse wrote it was true
that the President's course often
substantially paralleled the coun
cil's recommendations.
"When we handed our final
draft of analyses and suggestions
to Mr. Truman, his almost un
varying formula was: 'I'll take
this home with me (or on the
Williamsburg) nnd read it with
great care. Then we can discuss
it further.'
"But never from the first
annual report of January, 1947
to the third midyear report of
1940 did such a discussion
materialize."
The 68-year-old economist,
former vice-president of the
Brookings Institution, slated it
was in February, 1049, that the
first real show-down came about
between the political and econo
mic interpretations of the coun
cil's role.
"The President had several
times toid us: 'You bring me the
economics of the question. Ill
take responsibility for making
the political judgments and final
decisions.
"I was content to obey this
directive, but other members of
the council were not willing to
terminate their activities at this
point.
"They were not content to
wait for the council to win
prestige and usefulness based
solely on professional com
petence, mature judgement,
practical realism and a slub
' born refusal to let economio
judgment be warped by poli
tical considerations. They
wanted to advance philoso
phies or causes for which they
had a personal enthusiasm."
In the Collier's article, Dr.
Nourse quoted from part of the
President's address In Pittsburgh
Inst fall In which Truman de
fended deficit spending by de
picting it as only a "scare word"
to "turn the American people
against the programs which the
people want and need."
"It (the President's reasoning)
seemed to me a casting to the
winds of any economic analysis
of the intricate process by which
the several tegmenta of a total
economy can be helped into
workable balance and sustained
high production," Dr. Nourse
commented.
In Its place I seemed to dis
cern a highly political and
dangerously inflationary econo
mic program.
" 1 view this as a menace to
our American hope of making
free competitive enterprise pro
duce continuing abundance with
in a framework of free government.
"And since my position as
chairman of the Council of Eco
nomic Advisers gave me no op
portunity to do anything honest
ly to bear on the merits of these
pressing issues, I was glad that
the day of my retirement had al
ready been set."

Rescue Plane Pilot Recounts
Mercy Drop of Paratroopers
(Editor's Note: Squadrcn Leader Al Mackie, a Royal Cana
dian air force pilot from Regina, Sask., flew a Dakota plane
which dropped five paratroopers to aid the 10 survivors of
a C-47 transport crash.
(The C-47 crashed Wednesday atop a mountain 84 miles
west of here while participating in the search for another
U.S. air force plane missing with 44 persons aboard. A
ground party was climbing toward the crash scene to help
bring out the 10 men.)
is good this morning, I'm going
to try and drop some blood plas
ma to them.
By SQUARDON LEADER AL MACKIE
(M told to the United Press)
Whitehorse, Y. T., Feb. 10 (U.R) It was the most difficult drop
I've ever done.
I flew about three and a half hours in 60 below zero weather
and had to make seven dummy runs because of the fog, before
the five men were dropped.
I've never had such trouble
before. I was bothered by a 300-l'oot-thick
layer of fog around
the 8,000-foot level. We just had
to pick holes in the stuff before
I could let the American and
four Canadian para-men go.
And they did a wonderful
job, too.
On the very first run, I got
my only good look at the C-47
It had made a good forced land
ing judging by the wheelmarks,
then swiveled around to the
right. It stopped with its nose
pointing toward the summit.
In all that dipping up and
down the valleys and climbing
over the saddle through that
fog, I never got more than a
20-second look at the scene.
I spotted a sizable hole about
300 yards down the mountain
side from the camp. All five
men dropped into a compact
group Into that hole.
They were wonderful.
The first man to go was
major (J. W. Boczewski, a U.S.
army doctor from Conshohock-
en, Penn.). He was raring to go
tight from the start.
When I finally got back to
the hole again, I looked down
and saw six men in a group,
The sixth must have been one
of the crash survivors.
I think the para-rescue men
will save the lives of the 10 sur
vivors.
I was lucky. If the weather
Hospital Groups
Accuse Doctors

doctors boycott commercial hos
pital associations to this day.
So testified two government
witnesses in federal court here
yesterday. They were managers
of two hospital associations, tes
tifying for the government in an
anti-trust suit against Oregon
medical societies.
The medical groupi are accus
ed of trying to monopolize pre
paid medical care in the state
through the doctor-owned Ore
gon Physicians Service.
Appearing as a rebuttal wit
ness for the government, Ray
Brunkow, general manager of
the Industrial Hospital associa
tion, said his firm still was en
countering opposition from doc
tors. He said that only two weeks
ago a lumber mill was reluctant
to join his association because
doctors in the mill community
refused to accept cases from the
association.
Similar testimony came from
C. C. Bechtold, general manager
of the National Hospital association.
