the pilot, and
When we <ount up the pro-
gress made in the last twelve
months, we see that it was a
pretty good year, after all. We
have had our disappointments
over the apparent snaH’s pace of__
reconversion after the way. but
in spite of strikes and conse-
quent shortages, some real pro-,
gress has been made. Many
items have returned to the store
shelves in satisfactory volume,
while others, still scarce, are
trickling through, with a pro-
mise of more to come. The year,
at least the last quarter, saw’
the lifting of many government
controls that irritated the pub-
lic dnd business men alike, and
the next few months should see
removal of the few remaining
restrictions. The new year is
always a symbol of new hope,
and this year is not an ex-
ception. Personalily, we expect
the next twelve months to be
more satisfactory than the last.
We look for some price adjust-
ments in the n^xt few months,
with some prices rising to get in
line with costs, and others, bow.,
unreasonably high, will probably
come down. Prices can’t stay
too far out of line in either di-
rection very long. We believe the
wave of strikes has passed its
peak, and that the coming year
should be relatively /ree from
labor disturbances, particularly
if the new republican congress
will courageously overhaul the
labor laws that have been the
basis of many past strikes. If
labor will co-operate, we should
at least get the mighty pro-
duction machine of this coun- ’’
try under full power, with vast
benefits to everyone. Really,
there is nothing wrbng with
this country that hard work will
not cure.

30 REPUBLICANS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (U.R>— i
Senate Republicans, a majority ’
power for the firsjt time in 14
years, were called into session to-
day to settle a squabble over as-
signment of committee chairman-
ships in the new congress and I
draft a legislative program.
Their efforts to assume the Sen-
ate leadership in an atmosphere of
karir.eny faced a major challenge
from 75-year-old Sen. Clyde M
Reed of Kansas. He charged such
GOP leaders as Sens. Robert A
Taft of Ohio and Wallace H.
White Jr, of Maine with a “dis-
gusting ladling out of jobs."
But despite Reed’s fight against
the assignments prepared by the i
leadership, indications were the
slate would be approved with little
. or no change during the three-day
organizational conference of the (
51 Republican senators who will
sit in the new Congress.
