Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EP1.FV
LAST night's sale tax forum l Fremont audi
torium, sponsored by the Klamath Oregon Edu
cation association unit, was especially interesting be
cause ot the responsiveness of the audience. While It
was not large.
of about 150
Y,
,..; played a genuine curiosity and
f il interest In the Important issue
V . discussed, and the "auestlou and
answer period" was xnore sprtghl
ly than is customary for such
features.
With the vote on the Oretton
Iv v,Ci ' is ample time for a thorough dis
f cussion of the question, and open-
V . mindedness Is probably advisable
st this period. There are. of
I course, confirmed believers in the
L ii in 1 ia aasi sales tax principle, and confirmed
EPLEY opponents to it, who will not be
swayed by any of the discussion that is now getting
under way. But most persons -will want to learn
more about the specific measure proposed, and will
withhold Judgment for a while.
There were two situations in the discussion last
night that struck us as particularly Interesting.
Lamar Townsend. speaking on the negative side,
commented that he believed there is need for still
more government services, but upon answering an
audience question, said he would not suggest how
they should be financed. He said that the sales tax
should not be used because it shifts the burden from
those better able to pay to those less Able to pay.
The other was a comment from Phil Hitchcock,
speaking on the affirmative, who declared that he
dislikes not Just the sales tax. but also the property
tax. the Income tax. luxury taxes, and all levies.
Dislike lor taxes, he indicated, must be tempered by
sober consideration of what methods must be used
for fair and equitable financing of essential govern
ment services.
It seems to us that it Is the Job of thoughtful
citizens either to oppose extension of government
activities that cost money, or to express ourselves
as to the way we want those activities financed.
We aren't acting responsibly when we demand serv
ice, on the one hand, and demand tax reduction, on
the other.

By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, April J3 The peculiar thing
about the big steel agreement for another round
of wage Increases, 16 cents an hour this time, is
that neither side considered the primarily Important
public point of Interest. The Initial announcements
at least said nothing about a price Increase, but
rather ominously avoided the subject.
Certain senators noticed this. A new wrinkle
seems to have developed In management-union
agreements which was not considered In the pend
ing labor legislation. The possibility Is now being
foreseen that management could make agreements
with unions which would break the national eco
nomic policy of the government. No adequate pro
vision had beeu made for this.
The house and senate labor committees had been
absorbed In promoting equal rights and opportunity
for both sides in their dealing but forgot Uie third
side. Most of the committeemen with whom I talked
had assumed management would naturally protect
the public against too high wages and the unions
would naturally protect the public against too low
wages. They did not foresee the possibilities which
arose first in the electrical workers settlement with
General Motors (neither side mentioned price in
creases there either) that management might mere
ly pass along Increased costs to the public
Cost To The Public
US. STEEL PRESIDENT F AIRLESS says his
agreement will Increase the labor costs to his
company by S7S.000.000 a year. The CIO union says
the cost will be 42.000.000. Say they are both grind
ing their axes as usual, the average of their esti
mates would be an Increase of S58.000.000. This is
only the beginning of the cost to the public The
electric-OM settlement was supposed to furnish a
pattern for the auto Industry. The big steel agree
ment is supposed to furnish the pattern for the
nation. The ultimate cost to the public of the settle
ment therefore could be billions.
The strategy of big steel, I am told by certain
insiders, is that the settlement is apt to be suffi
ciently unpopular to push the pending union reform
legislation through congress. As a matter of fact,
however, the legislation Is well on its way to final
enactment within a few weeks by majorities which
assure its success over an expected presidential veto.
Of the union strategy In the settlement, I am not
the chief Ingredient in the manu
facture of automobiles. If the steel price goes up
and the union labor costs of the auto go up to
upon the price of automobiles
could be tremendous. Last year the workers in both
Industries got an 18 ' cents an hour increase and
the price of cars went up I believe about "5 each,
according to announcements, although the price in
been more. At any rate the pattern
settlement last year caused a general national In
crease of prices the very condition upon which the
unions are getting this new price increase.
Illimitable
WHAT cost wage increases? The answer is: Il
limitable. Mr. Truman said last week if prices Increased
again, further wage Increases would be Justified.
Well., if these settlements result in another price
increase, then the unions can follow Mr. Truman
and demand another wage increase. Each step is
another zooming push upward in an inflationary
spiral, which diminishes all values toward the de
struction point.
These developments may not prove as unhappy
as their nature suggests. They may lead the republi
cans to strengthen their bill in time. Indeed Mr.
Truman could well Join any mora to establish firmly
the present economic line until full production re
stores the forces of competitive enterprise. They
could both Join in stopping any further price In
creases or wage Increases until those forces become
operative.
These pattern agreements have already been
made, true enough. But cqngress could easily provide
that any such step taken In the public Interest, be
made retroactive, say to the day of the last election.
Fire District
Petitions
Candidates for board positions in
the south suburban fire district will
have to file their signed petitions
with the county court by this Sat
urday in order to have their names

tion. Those who have filed so far are
L. Aha Lewis. Leon E. Judd, Claude
H. Williams. William Metier. George
Williams, Richard Griffith, Cecil
Prather, C. R. Bird and Frank
Steele.
Five directors will be elected to
the board' with the candidate re
ceiving the greatest number of
votes serving for five years, and
the rest accordingly, serving 4. 3,
2 and 1 year.

30 days must elapse between the
two.

Obsidian or volcanic glass, which

AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
Secretary of State Marshall has
cabled fium Moscow that he regards
the Ureco-Tuiktali aid mogriuu us
uiuisueiisauic ana urgent. Dill linn
far fia hasn't explained publicly
what lie figures will happen If thesa
two Balkan slates aren't given as
sistance to safeguard themselves
ugalnsl communist uuKrenslon.
To a good many peuplo the posi
tion npiHireutly presents a picture
oi nunc rru armies rolling out oi
the north agonist Greece and Tur
key. The fact that Marshall la
credited with being the greatest
military expert of our time may tend
to encourage Uils martial Uiought.
However, Uie Immediate threat
doesn't strike me as presenting any
such contingency.
In Path of Danger
Those two countries are In the
path of the communist advance all
light und are In danger, but
there taut Uio slightest sign that
lUissui ulnns to Intervene mllttanlv.
To do ,so would be to precipitate
ullnllief wnrlil u'ur anil tlinl'a llin
last thing which Moscow wants at
this time. That's true for several
reasons but one Is euuugh the So
viet Union Is too exhausted from
the late war to embark on another
now.
Where then lies the danger to
Greece and Turkey? Well. Its an
old suylng, but neverUielesa true.
that Uirrcs more than one wav to
skin a cat. Communism works In
two ways by direct action and by
Indirection. It's largely the latter
method whirl Is being used against
the two Balkan states, especially In
the more vulnerable Greece.
Communism Is boring from with
in In Greece, trying to create a
rebellion which will overthrow the
monarchy ami permit establishment
ot a Soviet republic. The Greek
goverivitettl chart"! that rebellion
is being fostered and aided by
neighboring Albania, Bulgaria, and
Yugoslavia, all satellites of Moscow.
The United Nations security coun
cil has a commission on the north
ern frontiers of Greece watching
this explmive situation.
nlralegic liasiton
The aid which America proposes
to give Athens Is to enable the
Oreek government (o defend Itself
against this aggressive communi.Mii.
And where does Turkey come Into
the picture? The answer Is one
which this column has given before:
Oreece Is Uie strategic bastion that
guards Uie Turkish flank. Including
that all - Important Dardanelles
strait. If Greece should fall, then
Turkey would be trebly vulnerable.
Now of course such a situation
might produce a war, that is. a
conflict among Uie Balkan states.
However, one would expect Russia
to keep her little satellites suffl
clenUy In leash to prevent the pres
ent maneuvers from causing anoth
er war.
And surelv If a Balkan conflict
' should break- out. Moscow would do
everything possible to avoid becom
: lug militarily Involved, because that
would again set all Uie mills of the
! war gods to grinding for another
global upheaval,
i ' No Quarter
So. to repeat. American aid would
I be' calculated to equip Greece and
Turkey so that they could stand off
communism by themselves, without
1 active help from outside. That will
now to gain tnis position.
The point which Washington ha
made In urging the aid to Oreece
and Turkey I Uiat the security
of the western world would be en
dangered at some distant date If
these strategic countries came un
der the domination of Russia.

However, u lot of live Toxans now

fastest growing large cities In
America,

The super market here nvr to large
a customer can wear out Ills sliia's
walking from the aspirin counter to
the pork chop case. One huge gro
cery store with enough neon light
to Illuminate a wurld movie premier
olenites on a 24-hour basis. If the
baby cries at 3 a. m. you ran wheel
him down and buy him a fresh pint
of milk.
A visitor gets Uie Impression
that If a man's cigurcl lighter
runs dry, he Just buys another oil
well to refill It. You have to stand
In line to get a building permit for
anything smaller than u skyncruHr.
The music of Houston It s sym
phony of hammers.

enterprising J. C. Smith Jr., who
operutes a toxlcab which he tays Is
"the only one In Texas rUlpx-d
with one of' the new telephones
certainly the only one In Houston."
Smith's Inltluls stand for "John
Clark." but "everybody calls me J.
O. now except my mother ho still
calls me 'Junior'."
He came to Houston two Years ago
With S100 III Ills pockets. He hacked
for others until he saved up ruough
to buy his own cab He named II
"The Courteous Cub" but may
change It toon to "The Glad Hand

Smith It a tnapplly dressed young

and a front teal dome light Installed
