MR TRUMAN ASKS FOR A "FAIR DEAL" Sweeping Reforms

Washington, Jan. 5.-President Harry Truman called on the democratic 81st U.S. Congress on Wednesday for a "fair deal" programme — a vast extension of social and economic legislation if the direction pointed by the Roosevelt new deal.

To help finance it, he urged a $4,000,000,000 increase in taxes, aimed chiefly at corporations. Further big boosts in taxes would result if the whole Truman programme were enacted.

It provides, among other things, for bigger social security benefits, prepaid medical and health insurance, 1,000,000 new public housing units in seven years, and extensive aid to education.

Among ollier recommenxlutions granne which fore the party last and the whole mesthe that stood out in the "Stale of the year. Union" address were:

Fine Morale Helps To Create Record

Berlin Airlifts

Wiesbaden, Jan. 5.—Major-General William H. Tunner, boss of the Berlin airlift, today denied that morale in his command is low, and pointed to the tonnage record to prove his claim.

In an interview, General Tunner whipped out reams of performance records to show that his Anglo-American task force, instead of suffering from low morale, is flying more goods than ever into blockaded Berlin.

The 42-year-old air transport specialist said his boys made "splendid record—-and you do not make a splendid record with bad morale. You may make a mediocre record but it takes fine morale to go beyond an average job.”

During the last werk of 1948. when the daily tonnage target stond

at below 4.500, salut pilots New in daily average of 5.780 tons, Gen- eval Tunner polnied out,

This month with the target of 5,174 tons daily, airlift pilots have averaged 5,771 tons per 24 hours.

The Offee of European Economie Co-operation have estimated Western Europe's dollar deficit after 1932 al a minimum of $1,000 million.

Mr Bissell said: "I see in the DEEC report no evidence whatever Indicating_a_need of the European Recovery Programme on such beyond; the time that has been discussed ansk assured,

"The objectives of a comprehen- sive programme for this large troup of nations can. we believe, be complished in the time originally net."

He added that such as Greece, Austria and Wes- ern Germany-might well need further assistance after 1952 but it was Impossible to say whether such ald would be forthcoming or 1 what form it would be granted.

Mr Bissell said the four-year plan drawn up by the OEEC "corresponds in hoportant respects to our hopes and desires. It has crystallised the issues and indicated the direction that national policies must take."
