WASHINGTON' July 1 LD — Sen Robert A Taft (R O) said Tuesday night that now is the time to face the coal problem He said that if a crippling strike occurs Pres Harry S Truman should of inquiry under appoint a board y act the new Rep Fred A Hartley Jr (R N J) the other sponsor of the act went further He said the president should Immediately name the Inquiry board Prompt Action Urged In a speech to the National Association of Personnel Directors in New York he said the second step in combating a coal strike "is prompt action by the president through the attorney general after receiving the report of the board of inquiry to enjoin the strike which means that the strike Is barred for a period of 60 days" "Following that the walkout is enjoined for another 20 days while the national relations board polls the employes of each employer involved to learn if they wish to accept the final terms offered by the employer" Hartley continued “Something May Break’ At the same time there were reports that “something may break” soon as a result of negotiations reported under way between John L Lewis Harry Moses head of the coal interests of U S Steel Corp and George M Humphrey board chairman of the Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Co It was said an agreement was sought on the basis of granting Lewis’ demand for a 35c hourly increase wfage bringing the miners' pay to $13 05 for an eight-hoportal-to-portday but rejecting his demand that the levy for the United Mine Workers welfare fund be increased from 5c a ton to 10c Taft Opposes U S Role Taft expressed himself as opposed to proposals for continued operation of the mines by the government “It is clear” he said that sooner or later the mines must be returned to the owners and that we must some time face the problem of a new agreement between miners and operators It would seem that now is as good a time to meet that problem as any other time” Taft-Hartle- ur al BEASTS OF PREY Attack Rescuing Officer ’ Mi Lost Coast

methods” and demanded that he either prosecute real estate lobbyists or "apologize to congress” In an angry senate speech the Republican whip opened fire on the message Mr Truman sent congress Monday in signing the new rent control bill The president objected to a provision permitting 15 increases in cases where tenants agree in return for a lease also running through 1948 He estate struck at "brazen” real lobbyists Beating his desk for emphasis Wherry shouted that the president’s message constituted the use of "low down political methods” Objects to Implication He said he objected to the president’s assertion that the operations of the real estate lobbyists bordered on the "subversive” "If there are subversive activities the department of justice has a Job to do and the president of the United States knows it" Earlier Sen Glen II Taylor (D Ida) introduced A resolution calling for an inquiry by the senate banking commitee of the "real es- - 30-0- 00 sion "It will take years to restore the damage done by the failure of the congress to support the current efforts of our tax collecting agency” Mr Truman said He called the funds appropriated "grossly inadequate” Slaps Political Motive "The administration of the taxing statutes should never be influenced by political considerations" he added m an obvious slap at the GOP election promises "People of all political faiths are called upon to support their government through the payment cf taxes and are entitled to adequate administrative controls to insure that the dishonest do not shift their share to the honest "The vast majority of our taxpayers are scrupulously honest in tax matters Taxpayer morale Is now generally high but it will remain so only if the odds remain tax strong that the would-b- e evader will be

Chapman Revercomb (R W Va) said he knew of no real estate lobby Revercomb said he didn’t either “It has never approached me” the West Virginia senator said Sen Carl A Hatch (D N M) said that “every senator has the right to critize the president of the United States but by the same token it is just as proper” for the president to critize congress Soundly Trounced Then he slapped a veto on the y labor reform act but was soundly trounced on that one in both the house and senate He followed up with a veto of the wool import quota bill say- ing it w’ould undermine his reciprocal trade program

$4000000000 income tax reduction bill — but later announced it won’t be called up if senate Republican leaders should object "The more I think of the idea the better I like it” said Martin This was shortly before house and senate GOP chieftains huddled to consider the chances of putting the new bill across Martin told reporters house action would leave it up to the senate to decide whether the legislation would become law before congress adjourns this month But one report from the meeting had it that Chairman Robert A Taft of Ohio of the senate Republican policy committee and Chairman Eugene D Millikin (Colo) of the senate finance committee did not like the idea of the house proceeding until a two-thirsenate vote is assured Martin declared a vote — enough to override a possible
