Almost every man close to Tru- man had urged the President to give Snyder the gate. Even Bob Hannegan, who also comes from St. Louis, is bitterly critical of his fellow townsman and has told Truman that if real progress is to be made in reconversion, Snyder must go. the alleged Unfortunate fact is that almost every important economical step taken by the government toward reconversion must clear through Snyder. He is the bottleneck. And many of the policies he sets boom- erang into woeful mistakes. It was Snyder, for instance, who, with the support of Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach, urged the termination of the War Labor Board. Secref » of the Treasury Vinson vigorously cpposed this. He argued that after -the woe, lab problems would be mniore than ever anud s ey the W Labor both labor absolute!y Snyder ever, wanted dif i 1 & such as Bo: trusted by and manageient, wa necessary. and Schwellenbach, how- to go back to old- ive bargaining. Truman later red the War Board to remain. And today he is trying to get Congress to pass a bill setting up fact-finding commissicns, which actually will be the old War Labor Board under another name * fashioned collect They w Result.: * SNYDER BUMBLES Again it was the bumbling Snyder who tock the controls off housing, despite advice to the contrary from Secretary Vin- son. Instead, Snyder brought in Hugh Potter, former President of the National Association of Real Estate Boards and of the naticn’s largest speculative buile ers. Potter is now known in Wz ington as the “90-day wonder, because, during the 90 days he served as a government adviser, he secured the removal of building controls, one of the big hoons , to his industry, but now og- nized as a major mistake cently reversed by Truman strong one h- anc No President can afford to make 80 many major mistakes — even thcugh he is green at the game Naturally, every President has tc rely on others for advice, but when an adviser -gets him into const S GREETINGS of The Fmpire is the annual Christmas Edition, containing the Christmas greetings of the business houses and others of the Gastineau Channel ar ‘M ind the cnly way in which they can reach all of you, hi they would wish to greet you personally | . of our AP member I‘he Wéé};inélon[ Daily Alaska ea to everyone. .
