Mr.. Truman had endorsed both pro-
posals in their original form and Con-
gress was not enthusiastic about
cithcr,Nor did the opposition come OK
clusively from Republicans and South
crn Democrats. In fact, some of the
most outstanding senatorial CIO syc-
ophants are Administration Demo-
Gratis from the South. Actually, it
took courage to oppose these CIO bills.
The pressure is all on their side. Their
opponents are entitled to considerable
credit for standing firm for their con-
victions against an ardent and effec-
tive lobby. The first, in its original
form, would have made possible unrc-
strictcd governmental expenditures
and moved US toward Government
control Of private industry; the other
put premium on idleness, offered
an inducement to many to remain I'M
employed instead Of going to work,
opened the door to abuses Of various
kinds.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1945-10-04

When the House sidctrackcd the
latter proposal, the President sent for
the Democratic members Of the COM
mittec, told them the Senate had "let
him down." urged them to reconsider
and pass the Bill Ii was made clear
the White House intended to use its
weight to satisfy CIO criticisms that
the President was not backing his
words up with acts. He would have
been wiser not to have tried. The ov-
crWhelming adoption by the Senate
Of the emasculating amendments (not
offered by Southern Dcmocrats) and
the general denJnciation of the dan
gers Of the original bill, gave proof
that Congress no longer proposes to
be prodcd into accepting CIO pro-
posaIs which take us toward national
bankruptcy because Of the White
House wish and the raucous drum
beating Of the professional liberals"
We had a good many years Of that be-
fore Mr.. Truman became President.
Afflicted with an unprccdcntcdly vio-
lent epidemic Of strikes, the state
Of the nation today is eloquent tcsti-
mony Of the dcp.orablc effects of the
Rooscyclt-CIO combination.

There viii be disappointment to

the strikes spread and the willingness

Mr.. Truman And The CLIO
Washington, Sept. %

Washington, Sept. 20
The reason rift has developed in
the beautiful relations between Presi-
cent Truman and Congress is that
Mr. Truman appears to be yielding to
pressure from the labor lobbyists
particularly the CIO) at a time when
resentment in Congress and the coun-
try is rising by reason Of the strikes
which render hundreds Of thousands
of workmen idle, seriously impede the
vital business Of reconversion, cripple
great industries and enhance initiation
dangers by curtailing production.
This is the truth about the refusal
Of Congress to carry out the Truman
recommendations which the labor
bosses and their radical supporters
are demanding. The idea that there is
conspiracy upon the part of low
minded Republicans and evil Southern
Democrats to thwart the President
in his effort to put through a great
liberal" program is not we'll based.
That charge is made every time Con-
gress refuses to follow blindly the la
Dor line. The changes on it are rung
regularly in the Go publications, tie
Daily Worker and by the radical
spokesman, in and out of Washing
ton. Its absurdity was shown Friday
in the votes by which the Senate
cmasculatcd before passage Of the CO.
called full employment" bill, the
chief advocate Of which was the CLIO.
Nevertheless, it remains the favor
lite propaganda method Of conveying
the notion that those who oppose CIO-
Endorsed legislation are a sinister ard
selfish lot, while those who favor it
are unselfish patriots whose only con-
Germ is the welfare of the common
man. This is a completely false con-
ccption. Yet, there is a wpll-organized
and well-financed publicity campaign
to make it stick. The effort at the mo-
ment is to apply it to the opposition
confronting the two most highly cher
lShed CLIO prOjects-the full employ

1t does not mention that in 1885. after
severe cuts in salaries, there was dis
couragement and impairment of mo
rale on the campuses.
Instead, THE MONTANA TAXPAY.
Err reports that the 1915 legislature
"safeguarded" the general fund by pro-
viding that expenditures from that
fund for the university system can not
exceed fees and other earnings depos-
tied in the state treasury by the re-
spective units. What that actually
means is that the so-called appropria-
ton from the general fund for sup
port of the greater university was
double-talk in the sign language-it
was given with one hand and taken
away with the other BY Safeguard
ing" the general funds in this manner
the legislature made it certain that
the surplus in the millage fund, provid-
ed by the 3 " mill levy to support the
university system, will be virtually
wiped out in the next two years and
the system will be broke. The needs
then will be even greater than they
are now; and the nlillage levy itself
expires in 194S It is apparent that
the university system cannot be ade-
9uately supported on less than 7-mill
levy in place of the present 3 Y, I'M
less corresponding appropriations from
the states general fund are forthcom-
ing, or some other revenue source is
found.
The MONTANA TAXPAYER thinks
that "the best that can be said
for 1915 legislation on higher educa-
ton is that several bills designed to
expand the university system and to
fix by statute subjects to be taught
at different units were killed Be-
cause of unknown postwar needs this
legislature made no attempt to solve
he difficult problem"
Well, in the first place. the needs
we're not unknown; on the contrary
hey could be and were carefully fore
.old-by experienced educators, by
he state board of education, by a citi-
sens' commission And in the second
place, if our legislature is not charged
with the solution oil difficult" prob
ems, for what purpose do we pay it?
And should we as citizens permit this
evasion of responsibility in such a
critical problem today as is educa-
ion?

HOUSING FOR
VETS AT univ.
IS PROBLEM

A crisis in the housing of veterans
of World War II, preparations for as
sistance of these and other students
with a new counseling service, and
plans for the forthcoming formal in
auguration of President James A. Nc
Cain were the chief concerns this
week on the Montana State University
campus.
Inquiries from veterans interested
in attending the Montana institution
were arriving at the veterans educa-
ton office there at a rate of 80 daily,
and housing was the first interest of
those who wrote.
The state university already has
172 veterans enrolled, including two
women; more than 60 of these veter-
ans are married and 23 of them are
fathers. Many of the married veter-
ans are living in cramped quarters
and more than 100 have names on a
waiting list for housing about 20
who already are attending school and
the others from those writing daily
about possibilities of doing so.
Meeting several times with commit
tees from the veteran group and sub
sequently with the whole body of vet
Grams at mass meeting, President Nc
Cain discussed the financing problem
frankly and outlined steps taken by
the university to obtain more living
space. The veterans were told the
probable rentals which would have to
be charged to amortize investment in
portable housing units or trailers, the
bulk of whose cost lies in transport
to Missoula. They voted to indorse
rentals of 500 to $50 monthly for
trailers and $40 to $50 for one to
houses. The latter, 26
Of which are expected to be available
to the university before January 1,
would be moved to Missoula from
Richland, Wash. The advantages and
disadvantages of trailer living were
outlined to the veterans by one of
their number, c. c. Mitchell, who ac-
Maintenance Engineer Tom
Swearingen on visit to the trailer
camp at Great Falls. Mitchell form
srly was member of the First Spe-
,ial Service Force which trained at
Fort Harrison, Helena. President Nc
Cain explained plans for financing by
public bond sale since the legislature
made no provision for funds.
