Thursday, November 10, 1949 Voter Speaks His Piece at the Polls Provo's voters wentto the polls Tuesday,', Tues-day,', over 7,000 in number and when the moke of the balloting had cleared away, the incumbents, Mayor George E. Collard and' Commissioner J. Earl Lewis had been defeated for re-election. Final results of the balloting, surprising to a lot of people perhaps, swept C. W. "Bill"- Love into the mayor's chair with . Frank T. Gardner at his side as commissioner. commis-sioner. These, two will be at the helm of Provo city affairs for the next four years together with holdover Commissioner Eldon W. Payne, whose term has two more years to run. , The Herald extends congratulations to The Price of Gold " There are persistent rumors that there is being planned an increase in the price of gold, devaluation of the United States dollar, dol-lar, in other words. The rumors are consistently con-sistently denied by Treasury Secretary John Snyder and other government officials offic-ials concerned, and Dr .Edwin G. Nourse, who has resigned as chairman of the President's Presi-dent's Council of Economic Advisers and presumably is now completely free to speak his mind, has said that to the best of his knowledge "tinkering with the dollar" is not contemplated in high government quarters. quar-ters. In the light of these denials, it is pertinent to ask just who is interested in getting the price of gold raised. The argument has been advanced that devaluation de-valuation of the4 dollar would, provide the government with a huge paper'prof it on its stores of gold at Fort Knox, out of which a; new dollar loan could be made to Great Britain at no cost to the taxpayer. The premise that the government can lend - money without getting it from the taxpayer is too stupid for discussion. A devaluation of the dollar would destroy any gains which Great Britain may have obtained from devaluation of the pound, and would likewise negate the efforts of several other European nations to help straighten out the economic tangle by devaluing their own currencies. cur-rencies. Devaluation of the dollar would throw new confusion into the economic world, and put Europe right back where it was before devaluation of the pound. It might not be justifiable to conclude that the agitation for a rise in the gold prices comes from people who profit from the economic dependency of Europe, and want that dependency continued. But it does seem that only special groups would profit. If there are sound reasons why the gold price should be advanced for the good of the world, those reasons should be brought forward. So far they do not appear. the winners, Mr. Love and Mr. Gardner. Regardless Re-gardless of how we voted, they now become everybody's mayor and commissioner, which is in the American tradition of forgetting for-getting differences engendered in the campaign, cam-paign, once the election is over. Without the united support of the community, the new officers will be handicapped in carrying carry-ing out their duties during their incumbency incum-bency in office. Mayor Collard and Commissioner Lewis have already extended their congratulations and pledges of cooperation to the winners. The losers and their supporters need offer no apologies. The voters in practically all the major Utah cities were "rough" on the incumbents. That's politics. You're a hero one year and a 'goat' the next, just like in sports. Public service, too often, ends up that way. There's little gratitude, as far as the average voter is concerned, for past services. Anything can happen in an election elec-tion and usually does. The next four years will be up to Mr. Love and Mr. Gardner. They will have to be guided by the manner in which they interpret in-terpret "the mandate" they received at the polls in Tuesday's election. The promises and pledges they made during the campaign will be remembered and they will be expected expect-ed to carry them out to the best of their ability. Lucky is the candidate who was elected without making too many prior commitments. com-mitments. The turn-out at the polls Tuesday was much more gratifying from a good citizenship citizen-ship ' standpoint than the primary. With over 7,000 votes cast, the percent of participation par-ticipation was close to 65 per cent. While this figure doesn't set any new record, it compares favorably with other cities in Utah. At the same time the over 3000 voters who failed to vote Tuesday could easily have changed the outcome of the election, elec-tion, especially in the contest for mayor in which Mr. Love beat out Mayor Collard by a mere 69 votes on the unofficial count. That part of the American public which enjoys the beauties of autumn is always sorry for that part which doesn't have such a season until it is time to rake up the , once beautiful autumn leaves. Then pity turns to envy, and evergreen seems "the only wear." Speaking of strikes, and the mess management man-agement and Union leadership both got themselves into recently, something like i 150,000,000 Americans wish both sides would learn that it is far more important to face facts than it is to save face. the Washington Merry-go-Round Drew Pearson Says: GOP Bickering Contributed To Bare Campaign Cupboard WASHINGTONReigntion of isolationist insurance - man James Kemper as treasurer of the GOP National committee was dressed up in a .. high-sounding smoke-screen about foreign policy in order to cover up a bitter personal GOP feud. Actually, his resignation was handed in one hour after Guy Gabrielson of New Jersey became the new national chairman last August, but it was agreed to delay the announcement until the political horizon was calmer. Kemper's exit puts the spotlight on some red faces and raw nerves inside the GOP committee, com-mittee, which probably will be smoothed over now that he is out. Although Kemper talked big bout lack of funds In the GOP treasury, real fact is that he was never much of a money-raiser. money-raiser. The best GOP money-raiser was the man Kemper and Dewey ousted as GOP National finance chairman after the 1948 convention-Walter convention-Walter Hope. Hope, an able New York lawyer, learned of his resignation by reading it in the morning papers, and bis friends claim that the shock was responsible for his death a month or so later. Hope left in the treasury a surplus of $800,000 after the Philadelphia convention, f He was replaced by Bourbon Prince Harold Talbot, eager aspirant to the Court of St. James, whose family had almost ordered their clothes for their presentation to the king when they heard the news of Dewey's defeat. Between January 1949 and August 4, when GOP Chairman Chair-man Hugh Scott resigned, Talbot had raised the magnificent sum of $71,000 while Scott and Kemper were spending money at the rate of $30,000 a month. .; Talbot's main excuse was that he couldn't colleot funds because of the Omaha GOP fight. And when it became apparent that Guy Gabriel-son Gabriel-son was to be the new chairman, Talbot began a quiet campaign against him, which culminated in a lunch at which he and Gabrielson patched up their differences. That same night, however, Talbot dined with an oil executive who reported back to the new GOP chairman that Talbot had begun his attack all over again. I As a result of all this. GOP finances today are in terrible shape- However, with Sinclair Weeks of Massachusetts now in charge of the ' national finance committee, they are improving. Johnny Hanes, onetime Democrat and member of the Roosevelt administration, has been ap- Sinted vice-chairman, and some of the big con-butors con-butors already have promised to kick in. (Copyright 1949 by the Bel Syndicate. Ine.) U. S. STEEL vs. U. S. GOVERNMENT 1 While the U. S. Steel corporation was using its influence against a settlement of the strike, it was also trying to increase its tremendous hold on the steel industry through the U. S. government. Its latest proposed acquisition is a govern ment wartime shipyard at Orange, Texas, which it plans to convert into a factory for making steel pipe for the oil industry. The shipyard was purchased by U. S. Steel's wholly owned subsidiary, Consolidated Steel, upon whose property tlje yard was built. Then alert Herbert Bergson, head of the justice department's antitrust anti-trust division, ruled that this would increase U. S. Steel's monopoly position and would be against the best interests of the U.S.A. However, this didn't please Congressman J. M. Coombs and other Texas politico who thereupon there-upon pushed a resolution through both houses of congress authorizing the shipyard facilities to be sold to U. S. Steel.. Once before, congressional and White House pressure was used to increase U. S. Steel's hold on the industry. After the war, when the government govern-ment advertised its Geneva, Utah, steel plant for sale, once again the justice department's antitrust division ruled that any sale to U. S. Steel would be against the best interests of the nation. However, then Senator Abe Murdock of Utah, now a labor relations commissioner, pulled every wire possible to sell the government's property to U. S. Steel. Simultaneously, Secretary Secret-ary of the Treasury John Snyder, a good friend of U. S. Steel President Ben Fairless, was given credit for talking to the White House. At any rate, President Truman personally directed Attorney General Tom Clark to overrule over-rule his antitrust division and decree that there was no objection to selling the government's Utah steel plant to U. S. Steel. Thus the steel corporation has been in the fortunate position of being able to thumb its nose at President Truman's fact-finding board and at the same time get President Truman's help in tightening its monopoly hold on the steel industry.

Undersecretary of State Out Kindly Jim Webb has informed President Truman he wants to resign as Undersecretary of State. Webb hasn't liked the sophisticated rough-and-tumble game of diplomacy, wants to get back into private life The president asked Jim to remain on until after the important atomic energy talks with Britain and Canada are over, then he will look for another man.

Air Traffic Tickets CAA Chief Del Rentzel has called in navy and air force leaders to iron out air traffic problems in the hope of preventing prevent-ing future disasters. The CAA is in charge of patrolling the airways, and can hand out traffic tickets for air violations. But it is up- to the navy and air force to punish their own fliers. One problem; therefore, is to make sure military pilots are properly punished for reckless flying. Another problem is the close proximity of military mili-tary and civilian fields. Busy fields, such as Washington's National airport, are force'd to hold up traffic several times a month, while some military pilot on a training mission hunts for his bearings.

Reserve Navy Pilots Ready To Resume Civilian Careers ABOARD USS ROOSEVELT IN ATLANTIC, Nov. 10 (U.PJ They had hoped, these cocky young veterans of the Pacific war, to make a career of flying the navy's planes. Bilt they're beginning to be lieve there may be no fut re for them unless they get a chance to recoup what they regard as the admirals' losses in the "battle of the Pentagon." The sea-going fly boys aboard this giant carrier believe they could do better than the admirals in the unification quarrel if they were given a chance to show what the navy s jets can do. The target of their dreams is the air force's B-36 super bomber. They say they could shoot it down at all altitudes and prove to the country that naval career aviation avia-tion deserves a top role in defense planning. Losing Battle But as things stand, they believe be-lieve both they and the country are losing the unification battle. And, a survey by this correspondent correspon-dent showed,, they are as angry as they are worried. It looks to them as though the brand of air warfare they perfected the hard hard way from Midway to Tokyo will be a casualty of the battle between the- admirals and the generals. Most of the FDR's pilots fought through the Pacific campaigns and stayed in the service after the shooting. Now, rightly or wrongly, wrong-ly, they fear they may have to. throw away their years of ex perience and look for new careers as civilians.

They are not much concerned with high-level defense politics i although they are wondering out loud whether the appointment of Adm. Forrest P. Sherman as chief of naval operations means further cutbacks for them. By EDGAR ANSEL MOWREE After weeks of silence, some Americans are now pointing out that Soviet possession of atom bombs makes necessary a readjustment re-adjustment of our foreign policy. The reason, long since indicated here, is the special position of western Europe. So long as Mos cow had no A-bombs the worst the western Europe , people had to fear was occupation by Cossacks. Cos-sacks. Now they can expect first to be atomized and - then occupied occu-pied unless, the United States joins them in greater common protection. It seemsV certain that the previous pre-vious military preparations of the North Atlantic alliance were based 'on an American monopoly of the A-bomb. Winston Churchill admitted as much when he stated that nothing noth-ing stood between western Europe and occupation by Russia but the American monopoly of the world's most effective weapon. Now that the monopoly is de stroyed, dangerously exposed Europeans could be forgiven for saying to Washington, "Give us more military assistance or we shall have to reconsider our membership in the North Atlan tic alliance." Ways and Means Question When some of them get around to saying this which is almost bound to happen the American people can react in one of two ways. We can say that we do not intend to provide any more, military mil-itary protection - even If this means that western Europe de serts us. Or we can make an even greater military effort at home and abroad. If we decide to do no more, again we have a choice of arguments. argu-ments. We can say that what we are doing now is adequate even though Russia does have A bombs.' Or it can be argued that the U. S. cannot afford more money for military purposes without risking economic damage that would cut the ground out from under any bold foreign policy. Two such statements have been heard recently. Republican Senator Arthur Vandenberg told a group of some fifty visiting foreign editors that the United States had just about reached the limits of its ability to help foreign countries President Presi-dent Truman explained 'that to maintain the necessary armed forces to "balance out fifty-eight group air force would be to dam age our economy Vandenberg Treads Easy If these statements were true, then nothing would remain but to inform the anxious Europeans that they can expect no greater military assistance from us. And we should have to face the con sequences, presumably disastrous for everyone. I think that the statements art not true. I suspect that the limU tations the President and the sen lor Senator would place on great er, military preparation are psy-chologicaL psy-chologicaL not financial. Could it not be that the senior Senator from Michigan feels that he has gone about., as far as he wants to in defiance of the still vocal Isolationists in the Republican Repub-lican Party? It it not possible that the President wants to hold down military expenditures because he will need more money to finance the new social benefits be has in mind? In either ; case, there exist certain facts wlhch make it impossible for me to believe the American people could not increase the military potential of the Atlantic community without economic risk. I refer to the con sumption figures, of non-essentials. Cigarettes Or Security? The Department of Commerce estimates of consumer expenditures expendi-tures for the last two years are as follows: over four billion dollars dol-lars a year for tobacco products and smoking supplies; nine billion bil-lion two hundred twenty million, dollars for alcoholic beverages. Well, I have done - a lot of smoking in my time and . I like a drink. But no -one can convince me that if all of us had the choice of giving up adequate national defense or giving up half of our alcohol and smokes we would not put patriotism first. Half of one year's tobacco and alcohol expenditure (I have not mentioned the equally non-essential toilet articles and soft drinks) would provide six billion dollars more annually. With that sum we could buy a lot more national defense In this country (particularly (partic-ularly if our military extravagances extrava-gances were severely curtailed) and even more in Europe. Of course, we can decide that pleasures and social benefits art more important than military security. se-curity. France made that choice in 1936 and was occupied by the Germans in 1940. . If, however, we agree that armed arm-ed protection is the foremost duty of a free people, then our experts should sit down with free Europe's and re-calculate what will be needed to protect all of us.
