Will It Be Taft In '52?
There won't be another Presidential election
until 1952. But next year's Congressional elections
will hold far more Importance than they usually
do, as an indication of what is to come, and as a
test of power between strongly divergent philo
sophies of government
The main interest will center in Ohio, where
Senator Taft will run again. This contest will
have a truly national significance. For Taft has
clearly proven himself to be the most adroit and
effective opponent of President Truman.
As everyone knows, the Truman legislative
program has fallen on evil days. He lost out com
pletely on his request for repeal of the Taft-Hartley
law. Ke will get only a small part of his
all-inclusive social security program. The chance
of the Columbia Valley Administration being ap
proved by this Congress is so slim as to be almost
non-existent His ideas on tax increases have
found deaf ears in CongTess. His leaders have
been out-maneuvered time and time again.
Senator Taft has not done all this alone by any
means, but he has been the leading spirit It is
not remarkable that a large group of Washington
correspondents, of all political views, recently
voted overwhelmingly for Taft when they were
asked to name the ablest senator. He has few
equals as a parliamentarian. Perhaps no one
now in Washington has so wide a knowledge of
the complex workings of the government. He is
famous for tenacity, and he can be a very tough
man when Republicans show signs of wavering on
policy. He frankly wants to be President, and
twice tried for the nomination.
Joseph Alsop writes, "Immense forces will be
rallied for this Ohio struggle The labor groups
will put everything they have into the effort to
defeat Taft...Businessmen all over the country
are already laying the cash on the line to aid the
Taft campaign." It is expected that the Senator
will actually start campaigning very soon more
than a year before the election. Ohio is as perfect
a state as exists for a great test of this kind. It
has a big population, a large electoral college
vote, and it has always been a pivotal state. It
has large labor groups and large agricultural and
business groups as well. It is normally Republi
can, but not invariably so last year it went for
Truman, and elected a Democratic governor.
If Taft loses to an opponent running on the
Truman platform, his wing of the Republican
party, which is the only wing that has taken
strong issue with the Administration, will receive
a body-blow setback. If he wins, he will have the
inside track for the 1952 GOP nominaton, and
those who hold similar beliefs will take new
heart, in the opinion of The Industrial News
Review.

ECONOMIC PLANNERS
By GEORGE PECK
The term "Planned Economy"
is nothing but camouflage a
smoke-screen for socialism. The
approach toward "Planned Econ
omy" may be slightly different
but Inevitably it gets onto the
same road, and arrives at the
goal of socialism. There it rests
for a short breathing spell, only
to resume its journey to dictator
ship. However, there is a world of
difference between planned econ
omists and socialists. No matter
how msitaken the latter may be,
we must attribute to most social-

ists honesty of purpose and a
sincere desire to establish a soci
ety in which all will be happy
and content. For the avowea
"Economic Planner", on the other
hand, the same can not be said,
for he or she knows that economic
planning involves collectivism,
the stepping-stone to dictatorship.
The socialist is not subtle. He
may be a bit hazy about just how
the wealth is going to be distrib
uted and who is going to do the
distributing, but no one can mis.
understand his aims and object
ives. The economic planner or
collectivist cunningly hides his
alms and objectives. He uses
different methods. First he sneers
at business and business men, at.
tempting to arouse the public ag
ainst the so-called vested inter
ests. When the general public
has come to believe that all busi
ness is dishonest and every busi
ness man is a crook, he engineers
legislation putting shackles on
business. The next step is to tax
business so high that finally In
hopeless resignation, it surrend
ers, throws up its hands, saying:
"Here are the keys. Come take
the business"
The world trend toward econ
omic planning, or to call it by its
right name socialism Is not
new. The Hitlers and the Musso
linis were not new species of the
human family. Throughout his
tory there have been times, many
of them, when men became af
raid of freedom, and at such
times a Hitler or a Mussolini
came along to save (?) them
from themselves.
The planned economist plans
for a state in which all shall be
subservient to t he state. He
paints a rosy picture of the hap
py, prosperous conditions under
which all the people will live
when the government plans their
every action when the general
populace will respond like so ma
ny robots to the every caprice of
the despotic bureaucrats. Now,
the unfortunate part of such a
scheme of things, is that it robot
izes those members of society
who should not be robotized. It
renders inactive all the creative
RENT CONTROL REMAINS
Forget the rumor that rent con
trol is a thing of the past
It all started when a federal
district judge in Chicago held that
the entire decontrol act is not
constitutional because of "delega
tion by authority" by congress of
its powers in these matters.
That ruling local rent admin
istrators say, will be appealed to
the U. S. Supreme court and will
take from eight months to two
years to be acted upon.
In the meantime there will be
rent control "as usual" in the con
trol areas of Oregon not decon
trolled by local councils and the
governor. It is mandatory that
the federal expeditor sign such
requests for decontrol.
SIMPLIFY GAME CODE
Just as they were last year,
fishermen are cussing the compli
cated and baffling presentment
of the fishing laws that should be
clear and brief.
'It takes more time to study
and diagnose the fishing rules
than it does to maKe all otner ar
rangements for a fishing trip,"
said an old timer who added,
"They should run a page of the
rules at a time in the newspapers
instead of crossword puzzles."
There is little wonder why the
legislature called for a new deal.
"But there's a good time com
ing." If the editing of next year's
code comes under the eye of Com
missoner J. H. Van Winkle, editor
of the Oregon City Banner Cour

THE $70000 QUESTION
Could you hide $7000 in a car
so a detective couldn't find it?
That's what four pinball hi
jackers did at the state capital
and got away with it, and thous
ands more. It's all over now so
one of the four tbld a capital de
tective all about it
They knew how the machines
were made. Casually they would
meet, play and hit the jackpot
whenever they wanted to. Their
program was to drill a small
hole in the machine with a hand
drill, insert a wire tripping the
coin pot Then the drilled hole was
plugged and covered with soft
moulding clay carried in various
colors to conform to the color of
the machine.
The four operators were taken
into custody on a vagrancy charge
last year by a Salem detectve who
knew of their handiwork and was
sure they must possess a large
sum of money Their automobile,
with a California license, was the
likely hiding place. The police
practically took the car apart,
but all they coudl find was $55
in nickels.
They could not be held long on
the vagrancy charge and were re.
leased. One of the quartette re
turned this week and met the de
tective who had searched the car.
"It's all over now," the man
sad to the detective, "so I'll tell
you where we hid the money."
"You certainly didn't have it in
the car," the detective said.
"We did have it in the car," the
man said. "It was in the gas tank
and there was over $7000 of it."
He added that because they
were afraid to drive the car to
California, it was run into a cov
ered van. The van, driven by a
cooperative acquaintance, took
the car to Los Angeles where the
gas tank was opened. It was so
full of nickels, dimes, quarters
and half-dollars that it would
take only seven gallons of gasoline.
