The Tall Corn
OF Tins AND THAT
Henry McLemore
(Geo. Washington to Congress, 1793).
Wage-Price Problem
There can be no quarrel with the no-
ble purpose of President Trumans ap-
peal to the coal operators and steel pro-
ducers Nobody is anxious to pay even
more for the manifold products which use
coal and steel. But one might question Mr.
Truman’s economic reasoning.
It is hard to tell, from the tone of his
message, whether he wants a delay in coal
and steel price increases, or whether he
thinks such increases are unneecssary. He
says an immediate increase "would be a
serious blow to our economy and to the
continuance of the present high level of
production and employment. But how
would a later increase be absorbed with
no ill effect? It might seem that the added
price, not the timing, is the real problem
Mr. Truman charges that “the effect of
the wage settlement is badly misrepre-
sented by the bare statement that it
amounts to an increase of about 45 cents
per hour in the wages of the miners. He
says that the public does not yet realize
the new contract s actual impact on the
cost of producing coal
At the same time he clearly implies
that neither he nor the operators under,
stand that impact, either So he wants the
operators to hold off until they can dis-
cover just what it is going to cost to mine
coal thus it hardly seems that the settle-
ment has been “badly misrepresented
Furthermore, there has been more than
the bare statement that the miners will
get 45 cents more an hour. The United
Mine Workers Journal has already figur-
ed out that the agreement will raise the
labor costs of coal production by 65 to 67
cents a ton. and that the cost of converting
pig iron into steel will now be about 85
cents a ton more.
Already coal prices have risen 50 cents
to $2 a ton Perhaps $2 a ton is too much.
We don't know, although it seems likely
that some producers and manufacturers
have used increased labor costs to over-
price their products. But it is also possi-
ble that there are cases in which other
non-labor costs are a factor in legitimate
ed consideration of the universal training
bill by Congress because "we have not
even had hearings in committee."
The Ohio senator may not be "obstruct-
ing" the bill. But, as a power in Congress,
his known opposition has not helped to
speed action. It would seem wise if he
would at least adopt a neutral attitude for
the time being and permit the evidence, -
pro and con, to be presented.
An Explosive Policy
Greece has laid before the UN Security
Council an explosive proposal of UN in-
tervention "to halt the spread of unde-
clared war” in the Balkans. The proposal
itself is in order, and represents one of
the steps to guard peace which were en-
visioned when the Charter was written. It
is the background which adds peril to an
already dangerous situation.
What Greece has done is to ask the
Council to invoke the powers of Chapter
VII of the Charter. This chapter consists
of actions which the Council shall take in
the event of threats to the peace, breach-
es of the peace, and acts of aggression
But Chapter VII includes Article 51,
which says, “Nothing of the present Char-
ter shall impair the inherent right of the
individual or collective self-defense if an
armed attack occurs against a member of
the United Nations."
Greece claims that armed attacks al-
ready have been made upon her govern-
ment’s forces from across the northern
borders. The UN investigating commis-
sion found that Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and
Albania were giving active and unneutral
aid to the Greek guerrillas, though it did
not accuse troops of these countries, or an
“international brigade,” of actual parti
cipation in the fighting.
Russia has called the Balkan commis-
sion’s report a lie in almost so many
words. The Soviet delegate vetoed a fur-
ther investigation of the Balkan crisis. He
would surely veto any motion to use the
powers given the Council in Chapter VII.
But Greece has hinted that she will resort
to Article 51 in such an event, for that ar
ticle requires no Council action and can-

WASHINGTON CALLING
The President Stays
By MARQUIS CHILDS
WASHINGTON — Along with
most of the rest of the country,
Washington Is sizzling ss the ther-
mometer climbs, snd with it the
oppressive weight of the humidity.
It is the season when wistful
bureaucrats try to find a reason
to visit some place high and cool
and far away.
Congress is gone Secretary of
State Marshall is gone, the Brew-
ster-Ferguson circus is only a fond
memory The city has a slightly
deserted look, more or less as it
did In the long-gone era when
Washington was a sleepy town that
all but shut down in the summer
doldrums after congress had de-
parted.
One officer of the government
is still here President Truman
is at his desk every morning, and
he stays customarily until late
afternoon.
In a sense he is a prisoner in
Washington Lots of Invitations
have come to him from private
individuals who would like to have
him as their guest But for one
reason or another, all these invita-
tions have been ruled out A presi-

Playing Politics With Sugar
(This Is the second of three dispatches
on the Sugar Act of 1948)
By PETER EDSON
WASHINGTON, Aug 19—( NEA Biggest po-
litics! enigma of the last session of Congress
wss the Sugsr Act of 1948 A Democratic White
House administration, supposed to be opposed
to cartels, allowed the U S mainland snd
off-shore sugsr producers to dictate s bin
which sets up s virtusi sugsr trust A Republi-
can Congress supposed to be dedicated to free
enterprise passed a bill which is full of con-
trols
in the Senate, the bill had a much narrower
squeak With only five days of the session re-
maining. Sen Dennis Chavez of New Mexico
began to get excited about Section 202-e He
offered ao amendment to kill It The sugar
lobby boys began to sweat blackstrap mollasses
If the Chavez amendment carried, the hill
would go back to the House There wasn't time
for the House to act, and, in that case, their
bill would be dead
in a damage suit, the plaintiff
usually sues for a lot more than
he expects to get, so as to give
the jurors some leeway in settling
on a verdict In « West Texas

men lost an arm and he sued for
$40,000 The attorney for the rail-
road reported by long distance
phone to the general manager.
"I held em down to the amount
sued for. I wouldn't let 'em have
a cent more "
"Auntie, you certainly have
fine sons and daughters," a mer-
chant said to an old colored wom-
an "How did you raize them?"
She replied, "I raised dem wid
a shingle an' I ralaed dem often."
It came up for final consideration on the
next to the last day of the session

gri-La. It is .comparatively cool
and, even more unporiant, it is
secluded. Ine presiuenc can get
off into the woods and have at
least the illusion of being alone.
For a president that is a rare
luxury ...
At the end of the month, Mr
and Mrs Truman and their daugh-
ter Margaret will fly down to Rio
De Janeiro. That will be a trip
and a change Whether it will be
a vacation is questionable.
The three days the president
spends in Rio will be jam-packed
with the kind of public ceremonial
that ia most wearing in the midst
of the lavish hospitality to be
showered on him and his family,
the president will make an ad-
dress of major importance in the
foreign-policy field
If all goes well, it will be a re-
petition of the Truman visit to
Mexico City. That was one of the
most successful episodes in Mr.
Truman's two years in the White
House.
He appeared in the beat pos-
sible light as a warm-hearted am-
bassador of good will and neigh-
borliness He was tactful, aympath-
etic, and always as identifiably
Missourian and middle-western as
corn on the cob. That is one of
sources of strength — his insist-
ence on being himself. The trip
to Mexico was capped by the re-
turn visit of President Miguel Ale-
man. which was equally success-
ful.
Part of the burden we put on
our presidents la this business of
public appearance and ceremony.
In a publicity-conscious world. It
is almost a full-time job in itself.
No other great nation makes one
man fill two offices, each of them
exacting beyond belief. In Great
Britain the king and queen open
art exhibits and confer honors on
national heroes. Prime Minister
Clement Attlee doesn't have to
take time out from his handling
of the current economic crisis to
make ceremonial appearances.
For the working head of the gov.
ernment in Britain that sort of
thing is held down tn a minimum.
In France they have a presi-
dent who is largely a public greet-
er and public opener and a pre-
mier who does the hard work In
Canada and the other dominions,
a governor-general puta on the
public show while the prime minis-
ter is the working head of the
government
Before 1900 — well, say even
before 1918 — the presidency in

By Webster
this country was difficult but not
impossible. Even in the ‘20‘s, Cal-
vin Coolidge managed to sidetrack
some responsibility. It is s curious
sensation to flip through the files
of s newspsper of twenty yesrs
ago. A Nicaraguan revolution got
the headlines, snd President Coo-
lidge wss relaxing, with newsreel
cameras, in the Black Hills.
President Truman will get one
break. Unless there is something
urgent to call him back to Wash-
ington. he will return st lesst psrt

Missouri. Thst will mean the near-
est to s resi vacation that a presi-
dent can ever have We put an
awful penalty on a president, snd
the remarkable thing is thst so
many men go on wanting the job.

One of the best features of his

payments to cane and beet growers who stay
within their allotted acreages And if growers
sre also producers, they are guaranteed a
fair price for their cane or beets, regardless
of the price of refined sugar
Money to pay these benefits comes from a
tax on the refining of raw sugar imported into
the Untied States Normally the refiners want
a low price for raw sugar which they refine.
In this bill they have gone along with the rest
of the industry to support a higher stabilized
price for everybody. But at the most industry
spokesmen claim all these guarantees would
raise the price of sugar to the consumer from
% to % cents a pound.

The jack of diamonds took care

I'll tell you why. I have heard
from South American friends thst
the traffic in Buenos Aires is
much worse than it is in Rio. It
this is so, then it wouldn’t be
fsir to my family, my friends or
my life insurance company for
me to visit Buenos Aires. The
chances sre I wouldn't last s
minute. I'd be s corpse before
I got to my hotel, snd it's hard
to make s living writing when
you're dead.
The traffic in Rio is almost in-
describable. It is s mixture of the
Charge of the Light Brigade, the
Indianapolis Speedway during the
last 100 miles of the rsce. snd
the Third Army's drive through
France. The pedestrian has sb-
solutely no rights There is no
closed season on the pedestrian.
The automobilists can hunt him 12
months s year, 24 hours s day.
There ere traffic cops scattered
here and there throughout the
city, but they are so busy hopping
end jumping to seve their own
skins thst they don't have time
to bother with the citizens.
The csrs—and there sre more
shiny new ones than you’ll see in
New York—travel at a mad pace.
They travel two. three, and four
abreast down the spacious ave-
nues. each driver apparently de-
termined to be the first to bag
his limit of pedestrians Under an
old Brazilian law the driver of a
car which strikes a person can-
not be prosecuted if he is not
apprehended by the police within
48 hours. This, so people here tell
me, makes for the finest set of
hit-and-run drivers in the world.
When s car bangs into s person
the driver steps on the gss snd
flees, leaving his victim kicking
snd yelling Then he holes up for
48 hours to emerge s guiltless
soul
But here Is the psyoff. Under
not so long ago a doctor was
walking down a street when he
saw a crowd gathered about a
hit-and-run victim. The doctor in-
stinctively made his way to the
acene and, to his dismay, found
that it was his own son who was
stretched out in the street. He
tried to make his way to his son A
but the crowd, obeying the law to %
the letter, held him back until a
policeman arrived. By that time
the boy was dead, having bled to
death.
This law also applies to all oth-
er victims of accidents. A life-
guard may yank a man out of the
surf of Copacabana Beach, but he
must not render first aid until a
copper arrives and gives his okay.
Knowing about these laws, it did
not surprise me when I visited the d
vast open-air flower market in
downtown Rio to find that funeral
wreaths dominated the scene. For
every bunch of cut flowers there
were hundreds of gorgeous
wreaths about the size and shape
of automobile tires The Brazili-
an who has the wreath conces-
sion in Rio must be the wealthiest
man in town, with the possible 1
exception of the man who has
cornered the crutch and cans
market The poorer people of this %
city send the wreaths to the cha- 1
pels and cemeteries by street car. '
They simply hook the wreath on I
the rear end of the trolleys. As I
a result, most of the street cars
in town look as if they had been
decorated for some festive oc-
casions.
Oh, 1 guess I'll go on to Buenos
Aires as planned, but I am quite
sure thst my first story from
there will be dictated to a nurse, .
typewritten by a intern, mailed w
by a surgeon, and rushed to the
post office by ambulance.
