GOP Strives
To Gain Tag
Of 'Liberal'
WASHINGTON, May 13
Bidding for the politically-enticing
label of "liberal" grew hot
ter today with republican ef
lorts to avoid conservative
party tag in this year's congres
sional elections.
A New York City speech by
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) gave fresh
imnptus to the drive launched by
GOP National Chairman Car
roll Reece to trademarK tne re
publicans as "the real liberal
party" of the country.
SDcakins before the Yale En
gineers club Saturday on "What
is a Liberal?" Taft gave a three
way definition. By inference,
the Ohio senator who often is
mentioned as a GOP presiden
tial candidate, nominated him-
self as a member of the liberal
group.
In Taft's view, a liberal is one
who opposes measures which re
strict personal freedom, grants
others the right to disagree and
is open-minded in his acceptance
of new ideas.
More "Liberals"
As aeainst this republican
drive to be counted on the pro
gressive, side, three organiza
tions which have been closely al-
lied with the democrats in past
political activities called at a
weekend meeting here for the
election of "liberal" candidates
in this year's elections.
The CIO's political action
committee joined forces with the
national citizens political action
committee and the independent
citizens committee of the arts.

! WASHINGTON, May 13
iThe commerce department esti
mated today the annual house
hold sugar ration of 15 pounds
-a person can be maintained this
year and that there will be a
.larger allowance for home can
ning. It reported civilian sugar sup
plies this year will be 341,000
tons larger than the 1945 total.
But it said this year's 5.433,000
;ton allocation for civilian con
' sumption would have to cover
"the greatly increased indus
trial sugar ration and the addi
tion of 8,000,000 veterans to the
number of civilian users."
The department said a 20 per
'cent increase in acreage devoted
to the United States sugar beet
crop would furnish the chief
.addition to the 1946 sugar sup
ply. Imports from Cuba, it said,
will be down about 1,000,000
tons below the 3,140,000 tons im
ported in 1945.
