WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS I GOP Leaders Rap Demo Depression And Plan Bill to Meet Situation; Brannan Plan Held Farm Vote 'Bait' RED CHINA: Quiescent Communism, like the worm In the bud, was creeping swiftly through China as the presence of the Red conquerors began to make itself felt. At one village meeting in north-er-a China, a man, bewildered and dismayed by the use of the Russian hammer-and-sickl- e flag in Chinese Communist meetings and parades, ventured to rise and ask a ques-tion: (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of .? Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily ol this newspaper.) Bares Mission ( ''' r ' ' - ' K i' l v . :'. :.i " IS '. --V A--1 "WHY IS THIS DONE?" he said. "Russia is a foreign country and wg are Chinese." And the presiding political com-missar snapped, "This subject is nat on the agenda." About the only thing that did show up on the agenda throughout the country was the puzzled but raady acquiescence of the Chinese to Communist rule. As a result, the nation appeared to be well on its way to assuming a regular orbit as a willing satellite of Russia. FOR THE MOST PART there have been no signs of coercion or compulsion in the relationship. There is every evidence that the Chinese Communists are in fact eager to follow the dictates of Moscow. And that revelation should be enough to destroy any illusion that the Chinese Communists are just simple agrarian reformers. FARM VOTE: Bait Is Set There was more to the Brannan federal farm program than had met the eye. According to seasoned Washington observers, the plan would serve as a bait for the farm vote in the congressional races next year. For instance, if administration leaders could extend wartime price supports for another year, it would give voters a chance to pass on the controversial Brannan plan. Thus the plan could be dangled as a major issue when Democrats and Republicans began struggling for the important farm vote. AT a midwestern Democratic conference, both Brannan, secre-tary of agriculture, and J. Howard McGrath, chairman of the national Democratic committee, made a plea for extension of the price sup-port program as they began to plan for next year's with the GOP. McGrath, making It plain that the Brannan plan has Mr. Truman's endorsement, said continuation of the present relatively high-pric- e support program was to be pre-ferred to the Aiken long-rang- e farm law passed by the 80th Republican congress. Unless congress acts, Mc- Grath pointed out, the Aiken law will go into effect next year. The Brannan plan is designed to support farm income at a "pros-perity" level, but at the same time to provide consumers with lower prices for perishable foods espe-cially meat, dairy and poultry prod-ucts when there are surpluses. It would use government payments to assure desired farm cash re-turns. PRESENT laws direct the gov-ernment to support prices of major products at not less than 90 per cent of parity. Editor Louis Budenz is shown as he told a senate committee that Ger-har- dt Eisler, who fled the U.S. as a stowaway, was ordered to Europe by Moscow to train "new espionage agents" for use in the United States. Budenz testified in connection with the committee's probe of subver-sive activities by aliens. They are whole-hearte- com-pletely dogmatic Communists, fol-lowing the doctrines laid down by Karl Marx and adapted for 20th century application by his disciples, Lenin and Stalin and by Mao Tze-tun-leader of China's Commu-nists. THERE IS as yet no conclusive evidence that the Kremlin is giving direct, active aid to the Chinese Communists. But the affinity and spirit of cooperation that exists be-tween Moscow and Peiping, capital of Communist China, is tangible enough. The application of China's in-ternal situation to the rest of the world is disturbingly clear: Through the rule of Mao Tze-tun- g and his party, China inevitably is becoming a massive extension of the SoviwA power-blo- PRICE SUPPORT: Smoke, Smoke, Smoke Arrangements for new price sup-port programs for tobacco were announced by the federal depart-ment of agriculture. THE government will make loans on flue-cure- d tobacco at 90 per cent of the parity orice as it was June DEPRESSING: 'Right Now' "I regret," the senator from Maine said, "that we are now in a state of depression. It is not a thing of the future. It is right now." After thus evoking the spirit of the 1930's, Sen. Owen Brewster an-nounced blandly that senate Re-publicans shortly would sponsor a public-work- s and relief-plannin- g program "to meet the growing Democratic depres-sion." THE BILL to be projected along these lines would not in itself pro-vide funds for public works, but merely would finance the planning of a "shelf" of such works to be started when deemed advisable. Sen. Robert Taft (R., Ohio), who also is in on the deal, said that what he had in mind was a bill that would establish the .framework for federal grants to states if their relief cases should reach a certain percentage of their total population. Said Taft: "What we Republicans want to avoid is the creation of another WPA like Harry Hopkins ran." Without trying to guess how much relief spending might be necessary under such a plan, Senator Brew-ster opined that would "depend up-on just how bad this Democratic depression gets." Whether this "relief bill" pro-posal is sincere or whether it is a cynical attempt to discredit the ad-ministration in the face of the com-ing 1950 elections, only time would tell. CONJURER: Name, Smile Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., who inherited a name and a smile to conjure with and wasted little time in conjuring with them, has been duly sworn in as a member of the bouse of representatives. The congressman from New York's 20th district, filling the seat left vacant by the death of Sol Bloom, ran as a candidate of the Four Freedoms and Liberal parties, although he will operate as a work-ing Democrat in the legislative arena. ROOSEVELT failed to get the regular Democratic nomination during the campaign so he ran on the Four Freedoms ticket. In so doing he scored a popular upset over the regular (Tammany) Demo-crat, a Republican and an American Labor candidate. The third son of the late Presi-dent took the oath from Acting Speaker John W. McCormack (D., "Mass.), while his mother beajned happily from the gallery. During his first day on the job Roosevelt: CHATTED briefly with President Truman; denied a rumor that he might run for mayor of New York; allowed that he hoped congress would repeal the y labor law, enact Mr. Truman's civil rights program and put through a na-tional housing act. It all looked like a reasonable be-ginning for another Roosevelt politi-cal career. 15. Loans on burley and other types of tobacco would be at the Septem-ber j5 parity price, except fire-cure- d tobacco, which would be 75 per cent of the burley rate, and dark d tobacco 68 per cent of the burley rate. (Parity is a price based on the relationship between prices of the things the farmers have to buy and prices of the products they sell. The government uses a basing period during which this relationship of prices gave the farmer what it con-siders a "fair profit"). THE RATES a pound at which the support prices will be paid was to be announced in July for flue-cure- d tobacco and for other types in October. The full loans will be made only to tobacco growers who do not grow more tobacco than they are permitted under marketing quotas. These quotas have been set up for flue-cure- burley, fire-cure- d and dark, d tobaccos. There are no quotas on other types.

There have been times when the President seemed to suffer from an ability to do that, but now it's different. The President, obviously with an understanding ear to the ground, has decided he won't press con-gress to give him standby war powers. THAT'S not only wise of the President, it's good strategy, par-ticularly since it would have been impossible for the administration to convince the 81st congress that any such powers are needed. However, there was an official reason advanced for the change in objectives. One authority described the revision of plan as a "quiet demilitarization" of the national security resources board on White House orders. In other words, the emphasis would be away from keep-ing the people agitated and alerted for possible future war. THE war powers bill would have provided a detailed mobilization act covering priority and seizure powers, controls over prices, man-power; production and transporta-tion. It would, if enacted, go into effect automatically on the declara-tion of war emergency by congress. Mr. Truman was said to have decided it would be inappropriate to try to get such a law passed in peacetime. HOUSING: Action Seen Indications were that despite op-- I position from many quarters, the administration's big new housing bill would get out of committee and go to the house floor for action. THE RULES committee, which twice last year killed similar legis lation, had refused to clear the cur-rent bill. But Rep. A. J. Sabath ( (D., 111.) was predicting the com- - mittee would act to clear the meas- - ' ure- - Sabath was on fairly safe ground, for under the new house "anti- - bottleneck" procedure adopted in January, the multibillion - dollar housing bill could be put to a house f j vote over the rules committee's j objections. ) THE housing program, one of i President Truman's major cam-- paign promises, was approved by j the senate April 21 on a 57 to 13 ; vote. It then bogged down in the : house. J The bill calls for a vast program of slum clearance, low-re- hous- - ing and farm housing aids. Lewis L. Strauss (left) mem-ber of the atomic energy com-mission, confers with Chairman David E. Lilienthal after Strauss had told a congres-sional committee he had not ap-proved shipment of isotopes to "friendly" nations abroad. He was called to the chair over protests of Lilienthal who said, "It Is unusual to start with dis-senting views." BUDGET TRIM: Asked of Truman Congress apparently wasn't fool-ing about its demands for more economy in government. Nineteen senators, representing both major parties joined in sponsoring a reso-lution directing President Truman to cut federal spending by amounts from two million to four million dollars. The reductions would be made in funds provided for the new fiscal year, which begins offi-cially on July first of each year.

But he changed his opinion when the Champion began to buck the choppy seas of the open Atlantic. She was not a large liner, and the waves were running high. Arthur Forbes turned away suddenly and, clutching the deck rail for sup-port shaped an unsteady course for the companionway. Mr. Gill burst into guffaws of laughter. "Seasick!" he said, addressing a young couple nearby and nodding toward the fortable in this position. Instantly the same strange sensation at-tacked him again. Mr. Gill was sober now; his face pale; his eyes glassy. Realization of what was happening to him came like a shock. He was seasick! Helplessly, miserably ill. Never in his life could Mj. Gill remember feeling so utterly at the mercy of anything. Miraculously Mr. Gill reached the doorway and dis-appeared up the stairs. Instant-ly the dining salon was a bed-lam of laughter. Up toward the bow young Arthur Forbes was wiping some white substance from his cheeks and grinning broadly. Several men came over and spoke. "I'll change your tt: Bring you some hot lo;;.' Mr. Forbes smflei And say, steward, that w;: idea of yours asking t-ithe role of the helpless passenger and placing , table directly opposite : hole." The steward nodded, i twinkle. "We have a ma Gill on board every vc;. And we have that tab:; there for just his type else is asked to sit so lai ' Mr. Forbes chuckled. '" everything for the cornier passengers, eh? 'Well, il : I'm afraid this voyage proved almost intoler; Gill talking the way he c I companionw a y. 3 -- Minute "Should have Fiction stayed home and tended to m his knitting." The young couple smiled politely but with a lack of enthusiasm. Neither of them felt equal to the task of getting up and following on young Arthur Forbes' heels. The dining salon was located be-neath the forward deck; Mr. Gill's table was at the extreme end, near that section where the vessel's bow began to narrow. He had hardly seated himself when he saw that young Arthur Forbes was placed two tables away and slightly be-hind. There was a plate of food on the table before the youth, but it was untouched. Like one in a trance Mr. Forbes was sitting with eyes widened greatly beyond their normal size, cheeks as pale as death. After a time Mr. Gill saw that the youth at the other table was staring toward a port-hol- e, and his grin broad-ened. The port-hol- e was lo-cated far forward, and with each dip of the vessel one could see the entire slope of a wave, from trough to crest. Then for a space there would be nothing but open sky. It provided a sensation similar to riding on a roller coaster. Mr. Gill knew that as long as young Forbes continued to stare through the port-hol- e his seasick-ness would steadily grow worse. And he chuckled at the thought. After a while Mr. Gill found it was easier to stare straight ahead than to sit half-turne- d in his chair in order to watch young Forbes, who, after all, wasn't the most pleasing sight in the world. And in staring straight ahead Mr. Gill found that he was looking directly through the porthole at the swish-ing seas. JJE WATCHED idly for a few ts and then looked away, conscious of a feeling in his stom-ach not wholly normal. The sen-sation passed and he looked again at the port-hol- feeling more com- - By INEZ GERHARD TNAN DURYEA (real name) has made his reputation on stage and screen as a heel. He has slapped Joan Bennett, Lizabeth Scott and Yvonne De Carlo. In "Manhandled," his latest film for Paramount, he twice delivers a short right to Dorothy Lamour's chin. As an actor no one can be slicker or slimier. In real life he's one of the nicest guys you could ask to meet, devoted to his wife and two young sons, active in PTA I: ir-;-. ! DAN DURYEA and with the Boy and Cub scouts. He played a cur on the stage in "Missouri Legend," which set him for a similar role in 'The Little Foxes" on stage and screen. In some 25 pictures he has given such excellent performances that some-one's description, "a heel with sex appeal," will probably type him forever. If Alexander Knox doesn't like his role in "The Judge Steps Out" it will be his own fault; he col-laborated on the screen play. A reporter for 12 years before taking to the stage, he starts his lfrth year in films with this one. Ben Johnson, star of "Mighty Joe Young," was the favorite stunt man of Gary Cooper, Errol Flynn, Johnny Weismul-le- r and most of Hollywood's other male stars before John Ford and Merlan Cooper dis-covered him in "Fort Apache." He was doing stunts for the picture on location at Monu-ment Valley, Utah now he's starring in their new picture. In one of the biggest deals in radio history ABC has arranged with Ted Collins for a new series of shows, "Kate Smith's Music Room,." Kate and Collins will play records, discuss songs and com-posers end present nationally known guest stars. SaiiJ to be a $5,000,000 deal. The show will run from 9 to 11 p. m. beginning July 4, but will not affect Kate's two MBS shows. I CROSSWORD PUZZLE 4 ACROSS DOWV: 21. Russian Sffi.lUu 1. Strong, 1.

Eisenhower, speaking not as a military leader but as a college president, again saw fit L to warn the nation against letting the federal government get too strong. It was the second time the supreme commander of Allied for- - ces in World War II had issued that warning. Declaring that he is opposed to j legislation which would make fed- - 11 ji eral money available to help pub-lic schools in all states, he said such a practice would stimulate a competition among states and localities for greater shares of gov-ernment money. He conceded some areas have such meager tax resources that they need air, and that he would favor aid to such areas; but with-out abuse or direct interference. |
