Election Year Price Feud
Gains Heat As Anderson
Tosses 'Politics' Charge
WASHINGTON. Ken. 10 tl'i The
cry of " pol'l'c" echoed on both sides
today in thf election year priee
feud between President Truman and
Henator Taft (R-Uhiol,
The laleat Jab eame from Sec
retary of Atricullure Anderson.
Anderson aaid Taft, a candidate
for the republican presidential
nomination, acted for "political rea
ons" when he declared the admin
istration waa trying- to keep prirea
high for political fain.
There was no immediate reply
from Taft who left for a mid
western speaking tour at about the
time Anderson hit back.
But on the nation's economy in
general, the Ohio senator sutd in a
In.TU
Dafflcws
(Continued from Page 1)
the Marshall plan for Europe should
be kept free of partisan politics in
the pending election campaigns.
He 1 right as he often is. Try
ing to make political capital out of
the needs of a hungry and war
crippled world is about as discredit
able as anything can be.
If we're going to help Europe, we
ought to turn in and HELP. If not,
we'd better shut up and attend to
our knitting here at home.
SENATOR CAIN (the new Republic-,
1. - r
Washington) says in Pueblo. Col
orado the. too, is out making
speeches) that the Democratic party
is "tired, cynical and decadent."
He's about right.
The Democratic party HELD TOO
MUCH POWER IN TOO FEW
HANDS TOO LONG. That will
wreck anybody. It wrecked the old
Republican party in its day.
SENATOR CAIN, in
talk, describes the
his Pueblo
Democratic
party as "a mixture of liberals,
pseudo (fake) liberals and con
servatives." The Republicans, he
says, are "basically conservative."
Here is something to think about:
Conservatism, in the process of
CHANGE that goes on perpetually
in this world, HAS BECOME
LIBERALISM. "Liberalism" (note
the quotation marks) became so con
cerned with SOMETHING FOR
NOTHING that it forgot the funda
mental truth that "in the sweat of
thy brow shalt thou earn thy
bread."
True liberalism rests upon funda
mentals, and by insisting upon these
fundamentals conservatives are RE
TURNING to liberalism. It sounds
screwball, but isn't.
TJERE is this writer's advice to Re.
publicans:
Figure out what you BELIEVE,
and then stick to it Quit horsing
around with politics AS POLITICS.
Be sincere.
The people of this country are
YEARNING for somebody who will
forget politics and be himself. That
explains Eisenhower' tremendous
popularity in the opinion polls.

3rd, was hit by a car and slightly
injured yesterday afternoon at 7th
and Klamath, and the driver, Or

they force controls and government
regulation and high prices and
shortages which threaten the very
condition here at home we are try
ing to protect."
Other Developments
Meanwhile, there were these other
developments dealing with the na
tion's economy:
1. Meeting President Truman's
request, the senate-house economic
committee voted 8 to to review
rationing to liquor producers through
October.
The next step is up to the senate
and house banking committees.
They must decade whether to abide
by the Joint committee's recom
mendation and send a bill to both
chambers.
The key to the situation appeared
to re.st with the house banking com
nnttee. That group last month
killed a senate bill which would
have continued controls on grain
for whisky through February.
Chairman Wolcott (R-Mlch.)
pledged "very careful" consideration
of the matter but gave no hint that
his committee might reverse itself.
i. Senator Tobey (R-N.H.I, chair
man of the senate banking com
mittee, told a reporter he favors
"very strongly" an extension of con
trols over use of tin and certain
other scarce commodities. These
and import restrictions covering such
products and fata and oils are due
to expire February 29. .Mr. Truman
asked yesterday that they be con
tinued to prevent "contusion at
home and abroad."
CHICAGO. Feb. 10 (4V-Senator
Taft (R.-Oliio) said today the
United States can't afford to "give
away" so much to Europe that price
controls will be needed again at
home.
Taft came here to begin a mid
winter hunt in six Midwestern states
for GOP presidential nomination
support.
Accompanied by Mrs. Taft. he will
invade Minnesota Thursday for a
major speech on the home grounds
of Harold E. Stassen. The former
Minnesota governor has challenged
Taft to battle over Ohio delegates
to tne repuoilcan national conven
tion. In an address prepared for a I
meeting of the Inland Daily Press I
association today, tile Ohio senator j
declared that individual freedom at !
home must be "the ultimate purpose
of any foreign policy."
lait. who has called for a cut in
the 86.800.000,000 proposed by Presi
dent Truman for the first 15 months
of the European recovery program,
added:
"We should not be actuated by
purely altruistic desire to improve
the condition of a lot of other peo
ple who have failed for centuries to
do the Job for themselves."
Grain Futures
Break Sharply
CHICAGO, Feb. 10 VP) Grain
fctures broke sharply on the board
o' trade after the opening today.
Brokers said general trading was
influenced by liquidation in corn
which was off as much as 4'.j cents
bushel shortly after the start.
Wheat and oats broke around
three cents a bushel.
Traders said the propects of con
tinued limiting of the use of grain
by distillers had a disturbing effect
on the already nervous com mar
ket. Prospects of better European
crops and declining estimates by the
government for export wheat were
factors in the break In that grain.
During the first half hour of
trading wheat was one to four cents
lower than yesterday's close. May
$2.53?;: corn was 2'4 to 4'i cents
lower. May $2.16. and oats were lj
to three cents lower, May $1.07.

People's Home Fire
ST. JOHN'S, Nfld., Feb. 10 01V
Twenty or more persons died today
when fire enveloped an old people's
home.
A fire official said more bodies
may be found In the ruins of the
Hull House structure. It was a three
story concrete building which
sheltered indigent and ill people.
Some occupants escaped. Some
suffocated or died of burns while
stll' abed. Nine bodies were found
in beds In one room. Some reached
windows before collapsing.
The cause of the fire was not
known. A 50-mile gale fanned the
flames quickly out of control. The
weather was below zero.

Plant Plan
WASHINGTON. Feb. 10 ! Sec
retary of State Marshall says the
dismantling of idle German war
plants for use elsewhere "will aid.
not hamper, the economic recovery
of Europe."

unwise to abandon the Potsdam
reparations settlement merely by
reason of Soviet malfeasance."
Marshal! set forth his views In
a letter to Senator Vandrnberg
(R-Micli.i, which waa released for
publication today. It followed what
the secretary called "widespread
criticism" of the dismantling pro

modities if the Soviets expect to get
any more Oerman machinery.
