MONDAY, JULY 9, 1951 Move To Oust The Secretary Of State To Bring Close Fight Eric Johnston Says Much Cheaper Dollar Will Result If Economic Controls Are Tossed Out WASHINGTON, July 9-It has been predicted that a Republican move in the House Appropriations Committee to cut off the pay of State Secretary Dean Acheson is likely to bring a close fight. That is the view expressed by Missouri's Democratic Representative Clarence Cannon, chairman of the committee.
The showdown on the issue will come next week when the committee considers the annual State Department appropriation bill. Funds for the commerce and justice departments and the federal judiciary are tied in with the State Department measure. The Acheson pay amendment to the bill was drafted by California's Republican representative John Phillips. It would withhold the pay of any department official who at any time in the last five years has been connected with a law firm representing a foreign government. Acheson's former Washington firm once represented Poland.
Cannon said the amendment, if, adopted, "will get not only Acheson, but John Foster Dulles, the Republican spokesman in the State De- partment. 30 Cent Dollar Seen ston has said "A much cheaper dolEconomic Stabilizer Eric Johncd lar" will result if economic controls are tossed out. He said this is a copyrighted interview with the U. S. News and World Report and forecast a government deficit between five anal seven billion dollars this year.
Johnston said the present dollar is worth from 53 to 54 cents in terms of 1939 values and declared, that the scrapping of would reduce this value to 30 or 40 cents. Over 50 Amendments The House of Representatives is scheduled to start voting today on a bill extending existing wage, rent, price and other controls. But before they can reach final decision the Representatives will have to plow their way through more than 50 amendments, some extremely I controversial, and this is likely to take several days. Administration leaders say they believe some sort of extension bill will be passed before the end of the week. But the most optimistic feel that it will fall short of administra.
tion desires. Issue Complicated The entire issue is being complicated by the Korean truce talks, with some Congressmen taking the line that a Far Eastern cease-fire will make all controls unnecessary. At the other extreme are those who take the administration line that Korea is an isolated battle in the war against communism and that a relaxation of controls would be highly dangerous. The House bill calls for an extension of one year and is composed of 57 amendments to the defense production act of 1950. It is expected that from 20 to 30 additional amendments will be offered from the floor of the House in the course of the debate.
There will be a tentative vote on every amendment and, probably, a final roll call when all have been considered. Warren H.
