President Sees Crash If Prices Go Higher
By Bibler
Washington, Feb. 5- (UP)-President Truman said today that unless congress acts to stop rising prices, this country faces the dangerous prospect of an economic crash.
At his news conference the president reiterated in strong words his desire for legislation to curb inflation.
This followed a reporter's inquiry for the president's reaction to efforts in congress to slash $2,500,000,000 from his $39,700,000 budget request for the fiscal year starting July 1. A cut of that amount was recommended yesterday by a senate-house subcommittee.
Waving a chart which showed a continuous rise in the price of cost-of-living items, President Truman told reporters that unless some way is found to ston what he called this awful spiral, the inflationary trend will proceed to its logical conclusion.
Mr. Truman also expressed the belief that Republican efforts to cut his budget would get absolutely nowhere.
This logical conclusion, the president said, would be a crash. And that he added, we don't want to see.
Students for Democratic Action will elect officers and convention delegates and draw up a charter at 7:30 p.m. today in the recreation room of the Union.
The president said he had heard much the same talk last year when he requested $37,500,000,000. The budget actually ended up at $37,700,-000,000, he said.

Professor Althaus To Talk On County-Unity School Plan
'Solid South Talks Of Revolt From Party
Washington, Feb. 5—(UP)—Southern Democrats, in open revolt against President Truman's civil rights program, struck at the Democratic party's pocketbook today to the admitted consternation of the party's high command.
The new threat from Dixie was touched off by Gov. Ben Laney of Arkansas, who announced the Democratic state committee would impound the proceeds of the party's Jefferson-Jackson day dinners Feb. 19. Similar steps were being discussed in other Southern states.
One Hundred A Plate
The $100-a-plate Jackson day dinners have been a favored method of raising campaign funds for the Democratic party for several years.
Southern legislators, who have spent the past two days in vigorous denunciation of the president's call for anti-lynching and anti-Jim Crow legislation, were awaiting a cue for their next move from their state governors. Many openly favored a bolt from the party.
Republicans Have A Bill
Meanwhile, house Republicans made plans that promised to fan the flame of the Democratic feud. They prepared to speed an anti-lynching bill to the floor for passage within a week or two.
A house judiciary subcommittee held hearings on the measure yesterday and may approve it today. G.O.P. leaders insisted they were not trying to make political capital out of the North-South fight in the Democratic party but the effect there was just the same.
The anti-lynching bill, one Republican leader pointed out, was on the G.O.P. legislative program last year. He said it would have been sent to the floor regardless of the current situation.
many manufacturers said they already had received invitations from Hope to appear for testimony at the hearings. They said they would tell the committee that the only ultimate solution of the black market problem is increased production to satisfy the hush demand.
Chicago, Feb. 5 — (UP) — Farm machinery manufacturers said today that despite their efforts to wipe it out, there is a flourishing black market in tractors, combines and other urgently needed farm equipment.
Manufacturers said black market sales usually are made by farmers and individuals over whom they have no control. Many farmers, they said, have sold slightly used tractors to other farmers at prices $1,000 or more above the manufacturer's list price.
See Black Market In Farm Machinery
The farm equipment makers said they would tell their story of the black market to the house agriculture committee in Washington next week. Rep. Clifford Hope (R-Kan.), committee chairman, announced yesterday that the committee would begin public hearings on the farm black market Feb. 10.
When that would be, they said,
was anybody's guess.
Subsidy Not Cause Of Big Enrollment
Cleveland - (UP) - Contrary to popular belief, government subsidy of veterans is not the main cause of high college enrollment, but only a contributing factor, a memorandum prepared by the late president of Fenn College two days before his death said.
Surveys show the average veteran would have entered college anyway, Dr. C. V. Thomas said. He pointed out that going to college is becoming part of the social pattern—becoming contagious and likely to be as common as secondary education once was.
