of the basing

The basing point legislation,
mmcA by the mh 4 to 27
after the bouse ted approved the
m back on March 14,
a decision at the United
and permit*
steel, bottle
H I indus
tries to use a legalised baaing
point system of a delivered price,
freight absorption and price dis
crimination, in thf absence of
any conspiracy. In other words,
unless there is a conspiracy -prov
ed, all companies manufacturing!
a given product are permitted to
tlx the same price to the consum
?r, no matter from where or how|
the goods are actually skipped.
The supreme court held this
practice was illegal and a viola
tion of the anti-trustlaws. The
new laws legalise the practice.
Senator Paul Douglas of Illinois
led the fight against the bill, de
claring it "shot the anti-trust
laws with more holes than there
are in a large piece of Swiss
cheese." He declared it would
destroy competition, would dis
criminate against the south, west,
southwest and New England,
would creat monopoly and that
identical bids on public works
would encourage corruption "in
deciding the winner."
Aiming her remarks at Sena
tor Joseph C. McCarthy and hi*
charge* of Communist infestation
of the state department, Senator
Margaret Chase Smith was Join
ed by Senators Wayne Morse of
Oregon, Charles Tobey of New
Hampshire, George D. Aiken of
Vermon, Irving M. Ives of New
York, Edward J. Thye of Minne
sota and Robert C. Hendrickaon
of New Jersey in declaring they
were' "not proud o< the way in
which the senate has been made
a publicity platform for irrespon
sible sensationalism." .Nor were
they proud of "the reckless aban
don in which unproved charges
have been hurled from this side
^Republican) of the aisle; of the ,
obviously staged, undignified
?o?*tterchargee that have bean
attempted in retaliation from the
other side (Democrat) of t he
aisle; of the way the senate "has
been made the rendezvous for
villification, for selfish political
g&ip %t the sacrifice of individu
al reputations and national
unity''; of the way "we smear
outsiders from the floor of the
senate and hide behind the cloak
of congressional immunity."
?
, After declaring there was a
[lack of leadership in the Demo
cratic party and that the continu
ed technique was playing into
the hands of Communists to
"confuse, divide and conquer,"
and condemning witch-hunts and
smears, the statement said:
"It is high time that we stop
ped thinking politically as Re
publicans and Democrats about
elections and stfrted thinking
patriotically as Americans about
national security based on indi
vidual freedom. It is high time
that we all stopped being tools
and victims of totalitarian tech
niques ? techniques that if not
checked, will surely end what
we have come to cherish as the
American way of life."
Senator McCarthy, however,
unabashed, declared he would
continue his charges and techni
que.
? ? ?
President Truman, In the
meantime, again warned the
house ways and means commit
tee unless they made up for tax
cuts in new revenue, he would be
forced to veto the tax bill. To
late, the treasury estimated the
House committee had written
excise slashing cuts amounting
to about $1,275,250,000 into the
bill with only about $412,000,000
of new revenue. The senate
banking committee has approved
ftv six-months extension of the
rent control law.

There was somewhat general
approval, according to observers
of the report made by Sacfttary
of State Dean Achesoa on the
London conference, at an unpre
cedented question and answer
audience in the auditorium of
the library of congress. The place
was packed with members oi
both houses of congress.
