NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Aissks Newspapers, 1411 fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Saturday, October 14, 1950 WAR SCARE TAPERI » OFF ‘The urgency of public buying—or hoarding, if you prefer to call it that—is showing signs of tapering off. Department store sales, which spurted after the Korean war began, have been dropping back to a more normal level; automobiles, which were scarce for a while, are in more plentiful supply, and there have| been other indications that franctic buying which sent prices skyrocketing has been settling pack to a more normal basis. Now comes the National Association of Purchas- ing Agents with a statement that the sharp business upswing may have reached its peak and that it may level off, or even lag, for a while. It is the job of these purchasing agents to anticipate the public de- mand and to buy accordingly the materials that make the products for the public. They find that buying pressures eased in August and that inventories, which had spurted upward for three months, are now trend- fhoj Washington Merry-Go-Round kind of thing again—hence his trip to see MacArthur. Louey Johnson’s Chin ing downard. In simpler language, the average con- sumer has taken a look at the war news and has decided that he won’t need so many things in a hurry as he thought he did. This should, in time, have an effect on prices, which moved upward with business, but other factors must be considered too. Labor demands, based on price increases already made, are certain to have an effect on prices, regardless of what may happen other- wise. Military buying will be making itself felt before long. The Korean war was not entirely responsible for the waves of prige increases. The rise actually started in May, due to the spring wage increase, deficit fi- nancing and other factors, and was just getting well under way when the Korean Reds invaded South Korea. Possibilities of a general war provided the spark that sent a rising market higher—fast. It is this sharp upturn—the war scarce—that is easing off. The situation seems to be that hoarding is on the decline, but that other causes will tend to keep prices rising in the months ahead—at a smaller rate than in the last few months. As panicky buying becomes more stabilized, pan- jcky jumps in prices should become more stabilized, too.

His was unmistakably a great achievement. He needed tact, persistence, a clear grasp of the tangled problems at issue, and a first-rate understanding of men and how to deal with them. He needed those qualities, and fortunately he had them. Dr. Bunche is the first Negro to win the Ncbel ments in various fields of effort and especially in diplomacy are dramatic proof of the opportunity for usefulness which a free nation extends to all. g L i) mome peopze seem to think that the right of free speech constitutes a license to lie.

N 'Weather at (Continued from Page One) Harriman to Truman regarding the visit was that MacArthur had some excellent ideas on the rehabilitation and administration of Korea. This will be the main topic discussed by Lthe two.amens & Differ On Occupying Korea There has been a difference of opinion between the State and De- fense Departments over the fu- ture occupation of Korea, once the war is over. The National Defense Department wants to occupy the entire country with United Nations troops, thus permitting American trcops to leave for use elsewhere. The State Department agrees that UN troops should be used to a very considerable extent, but maintains that a certain number of American troops should remain in Korea. The State Department is anxious that the rehabilitation job be done with great care and thor- oughness and believes that U. S. personnel must be largely respon- sible. The State Department points out that one of the greatest losses of the Korean war has been the psych- ological effect upon Europe which has watched the bombing of help- less Korean cities. This has brought back in the minds of western Eu- ropeans the realization that in case of war between the United States and Russia they too would be the object of intensive bombardment. Therefore, the State Department proposes to make an example of Korea and to show the world that if it is necessary to bomb a na- ticn, we also will undertake to re- habilitate and rebuild it. Harriman told Truman that Mar- shall has some goocd ideas on this whole question of a UN protector- ate, In talking to close friends, the President has said that he also wants to make it quite clear in MacArthur’'s mind as to who is the boss regarding Far Eastern pol- icy. MacArthur not only let loose w.th his statement about Formosa, which brcught a virtual reprimand from the White House, but MacAr- thur was also on intimate terms with Secretary of Denfense John- son, who vigorously disagreed with (S Truman regarding Formosa. The President has confided to friends that he wants to make sure MacArthur realizes that over-all policy is being made at the White House, not in the Defense Depart- ment or in Tokyo. Would Achieve Peace Truman has also told friends that his greatest ambition is to establish peace in Korea; that we cannot afford to lose the peace as we have in the past; and that he believes a trip in which he can col- lect firsthand informatlon from MacArthur will help to achieve this goal. The President confided to one friend that he was sorty he had let his associates talk him out of having Chief Justice Fred Vinson (v to Moscow in the fall of 1948 1 ° peace mission.

Then he strode on. The press has given Johnson a far tougher bath of criticism than was given his predecessor, But Louey is keeping his chin up just the same.
