In Washington Bernard M.
Baruch tells the senate prepared'

hearing) that MORE THAN 20
BILLION DOLLARS IS BEING
WASTED ON THE DEFENSE
PROGRAM.
THIS waste of defense billions,
he said, resulted from failure
to put into operation the, vast
system of inflation controls that
congress voted after the Korean
outbreak.
He added:
"These powers were not used
for months during which living
costs soared, all savings were
cheapened and the real purchas
ing power of every defense dol
lar was slashed by one-fifth.
"This needless Inflation al
ready has cost us 12 billion dol
lars In higher costs of defense
and is likely to exact another 10
billion dollars in needless trib
ute over the next fiscal year."
THOSE are rough words, but
they are substantially true.

for the Ohio Senator. And this
steal has been accomplished by
a system of rigging as grossly
dishonest, as nakedly anti-democratic,
as arrogantly careless of
majority rule, as can be found
In the long and sordid annals
of American politics.
These are grave statements,
but they can be proved to the
hilt. The simplest approach is to
take the typical case of Harris
county, which contains the city
of Houston and has 144 votes in
the Republican State convention.
In Harris, as in all other coun
ties, the process of electing Re
publican State Convention dele
gates was theoretically control
led by state law and the rules
laid down by the Republican
State Committee. State law pro
vided that ."qualified voters"
should gather in precinct meet
ings, to name representatives to
a Harris County Convention; and
further provided that this county
convention should name the 144
delegates to the state convention.
The Republican State Conven
tion ruled that "qualified vot
ers" meant any persons willing
to sign a short pledge of Re
publican allegiance.
a a a
TTENCE the precinct meetings
were plainly open, under the
law and rules, to all Independ
ents or former Democrats de
siring to become Republicans
and ready to sign the pledge.
This was strongly emphasized
by the chief Taft leader in Texas,
National Committeeman Henry
Zweifel. Only a week or so be
fore the precinct meetings were
held on May 3, Zweifel Issued
a public statement urging all
Democrats or Independents de
sirous of becoming Republicans
to attend the Republican pre
cinct meetings and vote for the
candidate of their choice.
Zweifel, who has run the Re
publican party here like a small,
exclusive but pretty nasty club,
reckoned without the tremend
ous surge of Texas sentiment for
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. As
a result of this sentiment, the
Harris County Republican pre
cinct meetings on May 3 were
considerably better attended
than the simultaneous Demo
cratic meetings, although the
Democrats also had a big fight
on. More than 22,000 people
turned out, where in the past the
Republicans could muster only
a few hundred.
Thearesult, In precinct after
precinct, was defeat for the as-j
tonlshed and appalled pro-Taft
leaders of the Republican Old
Guard, and the election, under
the law and rules, of pro-Eisen
hower precinct representatives
to the Harris County Republican
Convention in a certain number
of precincts.
The pro-Taft Old Guardsmen
then organized walk-outs and
rump precinct meetings. In Pre
cinct 38, for example, with 340
persons attending, the vote went
almost two-to-one for Elsenhow
er. More than 100 of the pro
Taft voters accepted the major
ity verdict, but a walk-out of
six persons was led by a hanger-'.
on of Zweifel s. Pat Doyle.
a a
THIS six man walk-out made

persons attended the precinct
meeting and four walked out:
and in Precinct 70, where 269
voters attended and the Taft
rump was a cozy group com
posed of two married couples.
In ' the home precinct of the
Zweifel National Committee-
woman, Mrs. Carl G. Stearns,
175 voters were present, and
Mrs. Stearns and her husband
rallied a rump of only twenty
seven. 4
The Harris County Republican
i-nairman, Joe ingraham, is a
strong Taft enthusiast but a fair-
minded man. When the returns
were certified from the pre
cincts, he appointed a committee
of five, composed of three pro
Taft Republicans and two pro-
Eisenhower men, to consider all
contests. This committee found
that 19 pro-Taft representatives
had also been duly elected with
out contest; but that 69 places
were in dispute.
Hence, the uncontested Eisen
hower representatives, whose
right to sit and vote in the Coun
ty convention was never ques
tioned by anyone, had a clear
majority of 146 to a maximum
of eighty-eight. Doyle and his
six, the two married couples and
Mrs. Stearns and her forty-seven
could all have been recognized
as the legal authorities in their
respective precincts, without af
fecting the Eisenhower victory
in Harris county.
In these circumstances, the
convention was held on May 6.
Prior to the convention, Mrs.
Stearns ran an advertisement in
the newspapers Inviting al
friends to attend the County Con
vention, whether they had any
rignt to be tnere or not. When
the County Convention opened,
County Chairman Ingraham in
dicated- that he proposed to ac
cept the majority verdict, much
as he disliked it.
e a .
A LMOST all the elected repre-
sentatlves to the convention,
pro-Eisenhower and pro-Taft,
rump or legal, joined with Ingra
ham in legally electing a pro
Eisenhower delegation to the
State Convention. But Mrs.
Stearns and her husband led a
walk-out, largely composed of
those who had answered her ad
vertisment. This group then
chose a pro-Taft slate of Harris
County delegates without the
slightest reference to the law,
the rules, or anything else ex
cept the orders of the state lead
ership to keep Texas in the Taft
column by any means and at all
costs.
This reporter listened, wide
eyed with astonishment, while
this fantastic story was told, with
heavy documentation, to the
State Executive committee here
in Mineral Wells. Harris County
Chairman Ingraham carefully
set forth all the facts, with heavy
closing emphasis on the key fact
that in Harris County the whol
ly uncontested Eisenhower rep
resentatives had a heavy major
ity of precincts.
Throughout Ingraham's testi
mony, no effort whatever was
made to Impugn his facts, or to
prove illegality In the Harris
County precinct meetings and
convention. No one argued that
the Eisenhower forces had not
carried Harris County by an
enormous margin the actual
figure was 18,700 to 3,700. The
only argument lamely made was
that a number of the Harris
County Eisenhower voters were
the ex-Democrats whom National
Committeeman Zweifel himself
had invited into the precinct

Babson . . Salaried Workers
By ROGER BABSON
Babson Park, Mass., June 1
(Special to Mail Tribune) I am
much concerned about the fi
nancial plight
of some white-
collar workers.
I am talking
about small
business man
agers, school
masters, book
keepers, sales
clerks, doctors,
and the clergy,
These have
been our com'
munity leaders. They have rep
resented much of what has been
best in our communities. To de
stroy them financially is to de
stroy an important segment of
our American way of life; and
that is what is happening.
This is the group of people
who from 1935 to 1939 earned
salaries ranging from $2,500 to
$3,500. Only last week I talked
with a salaried executive of one
company. In 1939 he was mak
ing $3,000 per year. Raises since
that time have brought his sal
ary to $4,000. In 1932 he took
out insurance policies which
would pay $500 per year toward
each child's education. The col
lege to which he planned to send
his children then cost $950 per
year. Today the charges are
$1,500.
With inflation and increased
taxes .this man cannot afford the
education he had planned for his
children without going into debt.
It is this segment of our popula
tion whose bank accounts have
shrunk, who have been forced to
cash in war bonds and insurance
policies not for television sets
and new cars but to pay the
food, clothing, and shelter bills.
Yet, this executive Is probably
getting pay above what the aver
age reader of this column re
ceives. Teacher Shortage
Explained
The 1935-39 $2,500-a-y ear
male teacher would need much
more today to maintain his 1935
39 living standards. How many
school committees have raised
their teachers as much as they
should? The result Is that our
teachers have constantly had to
pull in their belts for the educa
tion of their children, hospitali
zation, and their old age. This ex
plains why there is a shortage
of teachers. Those teachers
whose salaries , have increased
most are the young college in
structors, who have had an aver
age rise from $1,900 in 1940 to
about $3,000 today, an increase
of 58 per cent.
This unfortunate situation Is
meetings. In the end, the Zwei-fel-Taft
stooges simply threw out
the legally elected Elsenhower
delegation from Harris county
and seated Mrs. Steam's phony
pro-Taft delegation.
Next day, the hand-picked
Convention Credentials commit
tee confirmed the executive
committee, and by an unparal
leled open fraud, the members
of Mrs. Stearns' fake delegation
were allowed to vote for them
selves on the convention floor.
This is the sort of thing, remem
ber, that occurred all over Texas,
and this Is the sort of thing that
Taft managers David Sinton In
galls and Brazilla Carroll Reece
warmly encouraged and ap
proved When Mrs. Stearns was
asked how her tiny minority
could have the legal right to
name the Harris County delega
tion, she replied with pretty con
fusion: "I Just don't know. But we
seemed to, and anyway we're
going right along with it."

Signing of German
Peace Contract Tops
World News of Week
By PHIL MEWSOM
United Press Foreign Analyst
The week's balance sheet be
tween the good and bad news In
the hot and cold wars: . -
THE GOOD
1. The signing of the West
German place contract and the
European Army treaty were
concrete steps in defense of the
West against Communist aggres
sion. Both face a rocky road be
fore ratification but they could
be the forerunners of the long-
desired United States of Europe,
and they are the instruments
which will put teeth in the
.North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion. Both were accomplished in
the face of tha stiffest Russian
opposition. ' -Results
Ineffective
2. French Communists called
for all-out demonstrations
not wholly due to inflation.
Some of the troubles are due to
the school teachers and parents
themselves. They have failed to
instill into the youth a love for
work and a desire to be of real
service. Our communities are
now suffering from this neglect
of fundamental training. Perhaps
the school' teachers are them
selves partly to blame for their
present predicament.
Salaried Workers vs.
Wage Earners . ''
wage earners, on the other
hand, through group' pressure-
namely labor unions have gain
ed ground fast. Durlng'the 1935
39 period, manufacturing work
ers earned, as a group, about $23
per week. Today i they v make
about $68 per Week! This repre
sents an- Increase of approxim
ateiy ?1B7 per cent in wage
earnings. Now I don't begrudge
these workers this Increase not
at all. They're not going to live
too riotously even at $66. I am
glad they have benefited. By way
of contrast, however, the most
fortunate college professor in a
relatively small number of col
leges has received an increase
of only 40 per cent during the
same period. - ,
What I am concerned about is
that those white-collar workers
in our community who, by the
nature of their training and ex
perience, have been our leaders
have not received the same kind
of treatment as the production-
une worner. Does this mean that
the only way to get the problem
recognized is through group
pressure? , If top management
does not realize the inequities to
tnis group of workers, I am
afraid they are inviting disaster.
irice. Tax Increases .
Not Expected in 1952 '"'
.: Perhaps the one consoling fac
tor for the white-collar worker is
that commodity prices and fed
eral taxes will probably not in
crease further in 1952. Thisfl
however, is small encourage
ment for a substantial block of
our most solid citizens. On the
other hand, all should realize
that raising wages is not the cure
for the disease or the answer to
the problem. Too many white-
collar workers have lost Interest
in their work and are trying to
do as little as possible rather
than as much as possible. Only
when employers and all their
workers forget themselves and
again earnestly co-operate for
the good of everyone will the in
flation problem be solved.
