Panama Refuses to
Extend U. S. Leases
By Lais C. Noll
PANAMA, Panathe, Dec. 23.
(AP) — Panama's national assem-
bly unanimously - refused last
night to ratify a sighed agreement
giving 'the United -States the
right to lease and man 14 military
and alrllald sites as defense bases
for the'Panama canOf.' \
The assembly's action took the
form of a flat rejection of the
pact and seemed to close the door
to future negotiation. Informed
sources here expressed belief the
issue might wind up In the lap of
the United Nations or some Inter-
national arbitration tribunal.
The rejection, voted 51 to 0,
touched off a wild celebration in
the capital.* Thousands of persons
marched through the streets
shouting gleefully: "It did not
pates." In the midst of the dem-
onstrators was former Foreign
Minister Rlcardo J. Alfaro, who
restgned Dec. 9 because of op-
position—to-the pact..
New Resignation
Alfaro's sutcessor, Florencio Ar-
osemena, 'quit yesterday, a few
hours before the assembly voted,
because of his party's opposition
to the agreement.
Ths situation now apparently
revertsv to the status of Sept. lv
1946, when Panama notified the
United States that a 1942 agree-
ment authorizing the leasing- of
Panama canal wartime defense
sites had expired.
The United States then argued
that the 1942 agreement was ef-
fective until a year after the
peace" treaty with Japan had been
signed. Panama contended the
"one year after" clause meant a
year after Mao-Arthur's signing of
the Japanese surrender.
U. 8. Declines Comment
(The U. S. State department in
'Washington declined comment on
the Panama assembly's action
and officials -said—no decision
would be taken on future . steps
until Washington receives formal
notice of the rejection. ,
(Diplomatic officials said 'the
rejection does not mean the
United States will have to evacu-
ate the bases Immediately, since
this country still holds its original
Interpretation of the 1942 pact—
that the agreement continues un-
til a year after a "definitive"
peace treaty with Japan is signed.
(Despite the U. S. interpreta-
tion. however, negotiations were
intituled 16 months ago for a
new agreement concerning 14 of
the more than 100 bitses Ameri-
can forces occupied on Panama's
soil during the war. The negoti-
ations were undertaken specltical-
4y to, avoid a wrangle.)

ous but fruitless session, accord-
ing to a. deputy sheriff called out
to the Scene.
The officer said that approxi-
mately 200 persons In attendance
at the, meeting, which was held at
the school bulldlng, jwtas.,so un-
ruly. that no agreement could be
made. Although no serious trou^
ble occurred during the three
hour session, "some of the fellows
almost went together a time or

The officer declared that some
of the taxpayers "went so far as

TaKrayers Discouraged-'
When contacted for statements
this morning representatives of
both the Behool board and pro-
testing group of taxpayers sound-
ed a note t.X weary discourage-?
ment on the controversy which
has kept divided the Bridge City
community since revaluation of
properties last fall raised taxes in
some instances as high as thirty'
times the previous rate.
According to Jim Baker, sec-
retary of the school board, the
meeting was calle'l Monday night
for one more attempt at Resolv-
ing the bitter fight between the
two groups and to bring about
some agreemetn as to how ' a
"badly needed" new building for'
the overcrowded school district
can be paid for.
New Inerease' Proposed
John Young, atlprney for the
protesting group of taxpayers said
this morning that a "howl went
up from the' crowd" when the
Hoard last night proposed that a
new building be erected by "doub-
ling the present School tax assess-
ments." He declared that after
the board had agreed some time
back to return valuations to 104(1
figures, the citizens were "as-
tounded" that the board now pro-
posed to r^isc them again.<
O. J. Durham, chairman of the
citizens tax committee, took; the
stand last night to propose that a
committee be appointed to meet
with the board to work the prob-
lem out, and do away with furth-
er mass meetings. This was a-
greed upon by both sides and
Jan.. 16 at. the school building set
as the time and place for shch a
get-together.
Baker and Grover Die presided
at last night's meeting. They were
introduced by the school board
president, John Dunn.

At the other end of the capitol,
Senator Knowlond (R-Calif), said

Those names are the first of
some I i,0O<> which Anderson has
said lie wii! make publicly as rap*
idly as the lists can be prepared.

to track down any rfffees of pos-
sible information leaks.

pointing" to a public which be
said had been led to believe that

permanently in speculative oper-
ations.
The secretary told a news con-

of-Harold E. Stassen, candidate
for the Republican presidential
nomination, that "government in-

influence prices, their names
could have been expected to be

lie added that the only, public
official on the list was Edwin W.

retary ofthe Navy Itoyall. Pau-
ley already had told the Senate

speculative activity, asserting that

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23—</)>)
American aid to Europe may
exceed $8,000,000,000 in One year
If President TrUman's ^long-range
recovery proposal is hot trimmed
by Congress, Senator Taft (R-
Ohlo) declared today.
Taft toW reporters that if the
president's request for $6,800,000,-
000 for the first 18 months of the,
so-called Marshall plan is granted,
additional outlays of American
money in Europe may total tl,*
200,000,000 in the year beginning
Ju'y i-.
Commenting that hs expects
little of the original ucovery
funds to be spent before that date,
the Ohio senr'Or said Congress
must keep in mind the necessity of
providing about $850,000,000 for
Gsrman food.
He said European countries at
-the same time will be able to draw
roughly $350,000,00(J in American
money from the international
bank.
Ta>t, who has said tha( the
president's program Involves, too
much motley, noted that wholly
apart from this calculation, the
western European nations could
be expected to obtain about $500,-

Stabilization fund- \
Taft also pointed to government"
reports whieb accompanledXihe

indicating that exports of goods"'
from tljls country for the next

GOP Solons Have

By .Marvin L. Arrowsmith
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. (AP)
Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo)
contended today two Republican
lawmakers have "repudiated" the
claim of Senator Taft (R-Ohio)
that the GOP cost of living bill is
adequate to curb inflation. X
Taft has said that if President
Truman signs the legislation now
before him, the chief executive
will have power to check "nearly
all the principal cause* of Infla-
tion, if he really wonts to do so."
The Ohio senator urged a slash in
governmebt spending as a supply
mentary step.
O'Mahoney, who fought the Taft-
sponsoted measure as too wek,
told a reporter Taft's stand has
been "repudiated and contradict-
ed" by House Speaker Martin (H-
Mass) and Senator Wilson (It-
lowaj
Other Steps Due
O'Mahoney noted that Martin
has referred to the bill as just the
start of a Republican drive tn cut
prices and has said "there are oth-
er steps to be taken."
Wilson. one «f three Republican
Senators . who voted against the

Inflated Economy
Due for Collapse
By Sterling r. Green
WASHINGTON,. Dec. 23. <AP)
renewed White; House plea
for "many" Industries to lower
prices -nd trim profits went but
to business today together with
urglngs for a long-range policy of
"rea'l price competition."
President Truman's three-man
council of economic advisers de-
clared in its second annuel report
that ■ today's high-level economy
can be supported by "somewhat
artificial props through IMS or
longer."
But businessmen should' look a-
head, the report eautloned, to
times when abnormal export and
military demands, pent-up short-
ages and bad crops no longer buoy
up the market.
Eyamnle Cited '
"Real price competition,"- the
council asserted, "means the low-
est price consistent with a feir
return in a sjable economy, rath-
er than ths highest price that the
traffic will bear in an unstable
economy." '
The presidential advisers pick-
ed thv housing industry as-per-,
haps "the best' illustration of the
need for keener market analysis,
and for a much more: realistic
pricing, so that maximum produc-
tion may be sustained."
"While we ore now producing
housing at an extremely high rate,
measured by any prewar stand-
ards, this production .... Is con-
centrated almost entirely on meet-
ing the needs or desires of those

well for sustained high levels of
housing production when the
thin luxury market Is saturated."
Lower Prices Need
As for a "stable cquliibrium^of
prices, income and value# geneV
ally, the council said ttys cannot
be attained by merely pressing
for "production, niot'o production
and still more production. X
"it seems clear that In reaching
this equilibrium' many industrial
prices must come down, at least
