Harriman and Anderson argued briefly; finally asked: "Well, can we have a look at the speech before it's made?" "Certainly," replied the President. A meeting was set for the next day at which all members of the Cabinet who would be required to enforce inflation controls could take a crack at the text of their chief's speech. At this meeting, Harriman and Anderson went over the text sentence by sentence, chiefly wanted to soften the impact of the message.

The ACLU today is distributing the leaflets, saying "If your rights are violated contact the ACLU, 170 Fifth Avenue, New York City." Contact them, or contact me. Let's give the lefties a real dose of civil liberties. The ACLU has a special committee ready to fight for your rights, a group headed by Prof.

Herbert Northrup. His leaflet says: "You cannot be punished, you cannot be fined, you have the right to: Free speech, criticize your union officials, a free and honest union election, run for office, attend all union meetings, vote in all union elections Take that offer seriously. Let's give the lefties a dose of civil liberties for both sides. We may even get the sentimentalists with us, or maybe their shining phrases wait only for left. That's the new left wing technique in the National Maritime Union violence, threats, jaw-breaking, slugging from behind, almost anything just to keep control of large sections of the seafarers' outfit which supplies much of the manpower for the ships that will carry Marshall Plan food and coal for strike-bound Europe.

It's the dirtiest double-play in labor history. Why don't those who get sentimental over civil liberties for such goons, save some of that slush for the millions abroad who'll go hungry because we do give the strong arm tribe here the civil liberty to be uncivilized.

UfLUlIl Q.o of Kentucky. Sen. Cooper and Co. had on their green carpet the underlings from the Department of Commerce who want to ration steel and hang on to their control over tin, antimony (a metal which goes into tooth-paste tubes and storage batteries) and cinchona bark.

This latter when peeled off a tree in the East Indies and boiled down comes up quinine. If tin is so scarce, Sen. Cooper wondered, how come they allowed it to be wasted in cans for coffee, engine oil, dog food and beer? They could stop that If they wanted, couldn't they? H. B. McCoy, director of the Office of Materials Distribution and a man nearly as big in size as his title, stuttered a little at that.

He said he and his experts hadn't realized tin was going to be so scarce. Take the senator continued. A beer can is plated with tin, must mostly it is made of steel. How much steel did the beer can makers send to America's trash baskets this year? About 192,000 tons, McCoy figured. That ought to make a good many freight cars in itself, Sen.

Cooper said. He wondered how the Commerce Department figured on saving steel, if Congress allowed the President's plan to become law. McCoy said by stopping the manufacture of non-essential things. Well, said the senator, what things? McCoy read from a lengthy list: Merry-go'rounds, finger bowls, shoe-scrapers, cocktail shakers, gamblihg Hundreds of such items, he said. AH-right, said the senator.

And where would he use this steel? McCoy said he'd channel (his word) steel to the freight car, farm tractor and oil pipe makers. Sen. Cooper said how much extra metal did they need? McCoy said he wasn't certain. "Un, tnat ail rignt, snruggeu me fiction tomes. Sturdy housewife.

Harriman jumped up and read the paper over the President's shoulder. "That's right," Truman agreed. That ended the debate. The President stuck by his original position. The paragraph on price controls the most important part of the speech remained in his message to Congress.

Later, Secretary Harriman, as the man in closest touch with business and on the theory that the Cabinet operates as a team once a decision is taken, was given the job of defending the controls which he did not want during hearings before Congress. 3Ierry-Go-Round. Robert Young, head of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, has vetoed the request of Rhode Island Republicans to run for the Senate against Democratic Senator Francis Green. Green is too tough to defeat. Senators Aiken of Vermont and Kilgore of West Virginia are demanding legislation to control whisky distillers by law rather than voluntary agreement.

President Truman has asked the Council of Economic Advisers to draw up the following things: (1) a long-range study of the prospects for continued prosperity; (2) a program for the increase of social security; (3) stabilized wages and price controls to guarantee the continued productivity of American agriculture. Truman has asked that these studies be completed by Jan. 1 when the White House will send them to Congress. Watch for serious trouble in Brazil during the next couple of months.

The owners had been pushed to near-bankruptcy by the government's wage and price policies. Incidentally, a federal degree now forbids the throwing of "any objects" at government officials or their representatives during public ceremonies. When Dona Eva visited the cotton festival in Northern Argentina recently, she was bombarded with bouquets, three of which contained large rocks. Hence the edict Why not? He hadn't made a survey. Why hadn't he? Because, said he, Congress cut his appropriation and he didn't have enough men to make the count.

Sen. Cooper glared at him owl-ishly through thick lenses and asked him had he talked to the freight car and pipe folks freight car, tractor and pipe folks hadn't really, but he did hold a conference with the steel makers last week. They said (and he quoted 'em) that if they had more freight cars, they could make more steel. So much for the sample. President Truman's helpers are getting similar rakings-over by numerous committees; my guess is that It'll' probably take another wail to outlaw steel merry-go-rounds again.

hashing over almost every semicolon on the message to Congress. Patient President. Truman opened the meeting. "Now we're going to read it through first," he explained, shuffling the pages of his speech. "Then we'll read it through a second time, page-by-page, and you can make suggestions." He read the whole speech without interruption.

Then he came back and read the first page a second time. No faults were found. But beginning with- the second page, the suggestions began to pour in, chiefly from Averell Harriman, with Anderson backing him up. The Secretary of Commerce is hesitant and slow in public speaking, but at this closed-door session of the Cabinet, he was eloquent and eager. "Now, can't we change this, Mr.

President?" he suggested, or "Let's take that out." Some of the Harriman points were well-taken and accepted without argument. However, most of them were vigorously opposed by Clark Clifford. In fact, Clifford took over the chief job of refuting Harriman and did a good job of it. Few of the others backed Clifford up. Finally, after softening this sentence and that, the Cabinet group reached the most important paVagraph of all that which asked Congress to vote price controls.

A new commodity steel had been added to the speech since Harriman read it over the day before and the addition didn't make him happy. Though critical of the steel industry for raising prices, Harriman contended that he could get the steel moguls to accept voluntary controls. He also argued that it was a mistake to ask for price Just two weeks until Christmas and the frenzied rush will be over. We can hardly wait until wre show Junior how to run that toy train.

The U. S. will probably be asked to furnish dollars for a large part British share is over a third of this. Why the British have been so reluctant to give out estimates on their requirement for second, third and fourth years has puzzled many Washington observers. Fear of stirring up anti-British sentiment may be one reason.

One reason given for not releasing 1949-1951 estimates is a desire to present the Marshall Plan as a European recovery job, covering the whole continent. It was hoped to avoid the impression that the plan was for scattered and unco-ordinated aid to 16 nations individually. Another factor was the difficulty in predicting what the price, supply and political situation would be so far ahead. The European's did present totals for those years, however. Unless those totals were simply pulled out of the air, they must have been based on estimates of what each country would need.

British Share At 30-40 Per cent. Unofficial estimates of the British share for all four years vary from 30 to 40 per cent. But taking the lower, 1948 figure of 28.5 per cent, of the total as the basis for British requirements from North and South America, the figures break down like this: From From Rest of Year U. S.

Senate and congressional leaders, who opposed the original $3.75 billion loan to Britain, are laying for the exact figures on new British reqiurement. They have charged openly that much of the first loan was wasted and allowed to go down the drain. If cuts are made in the Marshall Plan economy's sake, or for political reasons, the critics of European aid believe that reductions can be made in the British lion's share.

In the initial Paris report of the 16 nations, a country-by -country breakdown was given for only the first year of operations under the Marshall Plan. Of total estimated requirement for $9.2 billion worth of imports from North and South America, Britain's share was given as $2.63 billion roughly 28.5 per cent. The French share was given as $1.76 billion, or 19 per cent.

Western Germany's share was $1.15 billion, or 12.5 per cent. Italy's share was $930 millions, or 10 per cent. These four countries would thus account for 70 per cent, of all the aid furnished. The Totals. 1.10 1.80 1.10 $4.20.
