Revival Gels Off

before about the cost of living.
Tbis was further dramatized when
the Bureau of Labor statistics is-
sued its consumer price index just
aa the special session was about
to start. When the lawmakers re-
convened today, the whole buying
public was price-conscious, and
looking for a scape-goat. Mr. Tru-
man handed them one—the Re-
publican dominated Congress.
With this move, the President
seised the initiative and herded
the Republicans into a corner. He
put the GOP Congress on the de-
fensive. In effect, he said: "Here’s
your big chance to make good—
to come through with your cam-
paign promises and do something
about tolling back inflation
prices.”
The current session revives
memories of a long-standing feud
between the President and the Re-
publican leadership in Congress.
It began right after the war, when
Congress was debating the future
of the OPA. The chief antagnoiata

were Mr. Truman and the Senate
Republican policy chief, Senator
Robert Taft of Ohio. Mr. Truman
wanted the OPA continued “as is.
Under Taft’s leadership, Congress
drew up an OPA extension bill
that left the wartime structure of
rationing and price controls a mere
shadow of its former self. Mr.
Truman disapproved that bill, and
efforts to extend OPA were aban-
doned. Price controls came to an
end for most consumer items. Re-
publicans forecast a temporary
period of higher prices, to be fol-
lowed by a gradual readjustment.
Jubilantly, they hailed the end of
the racketeering and black mar-
kets that tad flourished under
OPA. But the expected readjust-
ment of prices failed to come.
Instead of tapering off, prices have
gone higher and higher. This trend
worked to Mr. Truman’s political
advantage.
blow, just three months and one
week betore election day, the bat-
tle between Mr. Truman and Con-
gress is reaching its peak. The
President will deliver his Sunday
punch tomorrow. He has an 11-
point program all worked out—it
includes many of the bills he asked
Congress to epptove earlier this
>ear. Bui the mam emphasis will
be on high prices.
The Republicans ate likely to
hit back with the argument that
the administration itself had a
hand in forcing up prices. It’s a
safe bet that they won’t sit back
and take it.
Speaking of prices, an expert in
the Department of Agriculture has
some advice today for prospective
farm buyers. It boils down to this:
Farm land values are at an all
time high in 24 states—equal to
or stoe the prices that prevailed
in the boom period of the 1920’x.
Buying a farm under present
(*T Joseph Edelsteia, AP Writer)
It may be clutching at straws...
But to the hundreds of millions
of Americans and Europeans who
have gone through a week of in-
tensifying fears that the Berlin
crisis is a prelude to war, there
are encouraging signs that the
drift is away from any war over
Berlin.
The full, and relieving, import
of tbis is to be sensed in what is
being said in Washington. . . In
what has taken place during the
past 24 hours in Berlin. . . And
in what even now is taking place
in London.
To those who have been afraid
that the Russians might be pre- '<
paring to jump the western allies,
because of the Berlin blockade,
this reassuring word is spreading
In Washington: General Lucius
Clay, the American military gov-
ernor in Germany, told a picked
group of senators and represen-
tatives in the capital last Friday
not to worry. He said the Berlin
crisis is not a prelude to war. He
said there are no new signs of any
Russian preparations for war.
To that may be added the por-
tents from the American and Brit-
ish side: The diplomatic machinery
of the western powers now is op-
erating to forestall any explosion.
Not only over Berlin, but also
over the entire German problem.
The western powers are in the
process of taking a new approach
to the whhle problem. That is the
meaning of what happened dur-
ing yesterday's conference in Ber-
lin between General Clay; Lieu-
tenant General Walter Bedell
Smith, our ambassador to Moscow;
Lewis W. Douglas, our ambassador
to the Court of St, James', and
Charles Bohlen, the State Depart-
ment’s expert on Russia. That Is
the meaning, too, of today’s con-
ferences in London between Doug-
las, Smith, and Bohlen on the
American side, their counterparts
in the British diplomatic service,
and the French amhassadnr.
These experts, :t seems pretty
clear—in fact, almost certain—
are working on a new offer to the
Russians. We will make conces-
sions if they will make conces-
sions. This has become necessary
because the Berlin crisis has be-
come increasingly c ostly—in main-
tenance, in the lives of American
fliers, in frayed nerve#, in inter-
national politics snd diplomacy.

It appears that the western

a deal on that. General Clay has

course, be a concession to the main

tably will bring criticism that the
western nations have suffered a
bad diplomatic setback. To many
persons, the loss of whatever pres-
tige may be involved would be
secondary to a peaceful solution
of a dangerous situation. It is un-
likely that the western powers have
forgotten Munich, and it would he
