Plans for 1947 include expenditure of $22,400,000 on roads and trails $2,500,000 on tourist facilities. The park service, which operates 190 recreational areas, with 4500 miles of road, 6600 miles of trail and 3700 buildings, had ... appropriation of only fiscal $4,763,015 for the 1946 year. ByD. Harold Oliver WASHINGTON (AP) President Truman asked Congress today to get behind a sweeping program he said will promote greater output of lower cost goods by higher paid workers. And he cautioned that "voices of disunity which "are beginning to cry aloud again . , . must not prevail. In a 25,000-wor- d document combining for the first time both and budget recommendations, the chief executive mixed expressions of optimism over business and job potentialities with fresh warnings- - against inflation and concern over major strikes. In the "state of the union portion of his message, Mr. Truman termed establishment of a fair wage structure the most serious difficulty fn the path of reconversion and expansion, adding; Held Issues of First Importance "The ability of labor and management to work together, and the wage and price policies which they develop, are social and economic issues of first importance. He said labor and management must establish better human relationships, and apparently mindful of his recent fruitless efforts to avert the nationwide steel strike declared: No government policy can make men understand each other, agree, and get along unless they conduct themselves in a way to foster mutual respect and good will. The government can, however, help to develop machinery which, with the backing of public opinion, will assist labor and management to resolve their disagreements in a peaceful, manner and reduce the number and duration of strikes. Mr. Truman said most industries and most companies have adequateM leeway within which to grant substantial wage in- law-maki- - ' CF6&S68 High Wages Benefit to All Elaborating on his higher wage theory, he said: "Good wages mean good markets. Good business means more jobs and better wages. , . ; Substantial wage increases are good business for business because they assure a large market for their products; substantial wage Increases are good business for labor because they increase labors standard of living; substantial wage increases are good business for the country as a whole because capacity production means an active, healthy, friendly citiyepry enjoying the benefits of democracy under our free enterprfse system. Mr. Truman said further on this point: If we manage our economy properly, the future will see us on a level of production half again as high ss anything we have ever accomplished in peacetime. Business can in the future pay higher wages and sell for lower prices than ever before. This is not true now for all companies, nor will it ever be true for all, but for business generally it is true. In promoting an increase in supplies at low unit prices, he said resources and enterprises must be developed all over the country, particularly In undeveloped areas of .the west and south. He said he was asking the secretaries of agriculture, commerce and labor to explore jftmtly methods for stimulating new industries in areas with surplus farm labor. Claims Policy Success'"' Speaking again of the strike situation, a headliner for congressional debate, the chief executive asserted: Within the framework of the wage-pric- e policy there has been definite success, and it is expected that this success will continue in a vast majority of the cases arising in the months ahead, However, everyone who realizes the extreme need for a swift and orderly reconversion must feel a deep concern about the number of major strikes now in progress. If long continued, these strikes could put a heavy brake on our program. The president called anew for action op his entire domestic , program, including his proposal that strikesbe held in abeyance disg boards investigate while putes. Full employment and greater production remained the keyBut he struck one new note in note of his recommendations. calling for major steps by the government to enforce antitrust laws suspended in a number of fields during the war to "encourage new and competing enterprises in every way. In the military field, Mr. Truman recommended an army-nav- y strength of 2,000,000 mtfn for this calendar year and said continuance of the draft beyond its expiring date of May 16 See TRUMAN on pate 2 1 fact-findin- nt .S.'

The oil from the field Is being sent in Standard Oils pipelines to the companys refineries where it is paid for by the Russians, however. The dispatch said the Russians explained that American development technique was 25 years behind the times, compared with the practices in Russia where 100 per cent recovery of oil reserves is common. were Standard Oil experts quoted as saying that by their methods 80 per cent of the oil in the Lispe field might be recovered with care, but that great waste would result from the Russian methods.
