atorial friend and colleague on the Truman Committee, hard-hitting Harley Kilgore of West Virginia. Another possibility is Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia. Some of Truman's friends think he should appoint liberal Southerner to the labor post and thus influence con- servative Southern leaders. Friends of Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black have even let it be known that he would be willing to leave the Supreme Court to help out in the emergency.
 Secretary of Agriculture Wickard One of the kindest hearted men in the Cabinet, Wickard was po- litical accident, due to the retire ment of Henry Wallace. For a time he was in conflict with War Food Administrator Jones, and his Agricultural Department was par tially stripped in favor of the War Food Administration Now plans are under way to consolidate the two again and bring in a new, strong face as Secretary of Agriculture.
 Secretary Of State Stettinius = Whereas Roosevelt was his own Secretary of State, Truman frankly admits knowing little about foreign affairs Stettinius was put in the State Department by Harry Hopkins. who argued that Roosevelt would run things anyway. Now the situa- tion is reversed. AS result, many of Truman's old Congressional friends are urging that eX-Justice Jimmy Byrnes take over the State Department. Truman will send him to San Francisco as a starter and probably ease him into the State Department later.
 You can write it down, therefore, that three Cabinet members most likely to be changed are Stettinius, Miss Perkins, and Secretary of Ag- riculture Wickard.
 Note-If Byrnes becomes Secre- tary of State, Stettinius might be- come W s. Representative of the United Nations Council.

VETO POWER

Rep Hatton w. Summers, Texas Democrat and veteran chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has proposed that the pocket veto and two-thrds rule be overthrown by Congress He says simple majority should govern vetoes it does legislation making it's first trip through Congress.
 This and other things indicates that mem bers of Congress have decided to see if something can't be done about retaining in Congress the power that has been gradually surrendered to the executive branch of the government
 Charging that the number of cases in which Government agencies have exceeded their authority is rather startling, Rep Howard V Smith, Virginia Democrat has proposed creation of a permanent joint committee of the Senate and House to keep constant check the Federal bureaus,
 Smith, who is chairman of a special committee Investigating the executive agencies cited number of cases where legislative authority had been exceeded through sanctions subsidies executive regulations and by interpretations Congress dreamed of"
 It may be that the pendulum has reached the end of it's swing toward executive control and starting to swing the other way
 Here in Alaska, the chief executive, Federal official has provoked a little ire his recent pocket veto of the consolidated school district bill which would have allowed districts to incorporate and levy percent tax outside of cities to man- voted The critics charge the Governor with killing the bill, after it had passed both Houses by wide margins, because it would have nterfered with his

Fashion in Politics
(New York Times

CNeW York Times The Presidential campaign of last November is still recent enough for most of us to remember that it's outstanding characteristic, the domestic side the promise by both parties of all the good things to come from benign and endless generous Govern ment if only the right party put in power Social Security to be expanded greatly without cost to anybody. Health insurance and medical were to be provided large scale without cost to anybody Farm prices to be held at the highest levels in many ears without cost to anybody Industrial wages were to be kept high, without cost to anybody Gov ernment jobs were to be provided whenever and wherever private jobs ran out On these and other similar points the two platforms written at Chicago did their humping best to outbd each other, and during the subsequent campaign both MT Roosevelt and MT. Dewey elaborated glowingly on the party platforms.
 Remember all this, it comes as something of a shock to listen to MT. Churchill he defines the position he would have the Conservative party take in the general election which will be held in England soon as the war against Germany is ended:
 There is one thing we shall certainly not
 do We shall not bid for votes or popularity
 by promising what cannot perform nor
 shall we compete with others in electioneering
 baits and lures. It would be very easy for
 all to promise, or even to give each other
 presents, bonuses, and gratuities in most en-
 thusiastic manner but if we woke up in the morning and found that the pound sterling only bought five shiings' worth of goods or services, should have committed great
 crime.
 We should have committed the crime of cheating or cheating soldiers and workers in this country of nest egg, very often amount ing to 200 300 pounds which millions of people acquired by their faithful discharge of duty and their thrift and lf-denial during the
 What shall we say of such blunt and hope lessly realistic statement except that, judged by current American standards, MT Churchill is rank amateur in politics who does not know how to wn elections?

the Hill and caused a terrible com motion on the street. They even stopped people from crossing the street"
 At this point, Majority Leader Alben Barkley said:
 That's just what happens to a country boy when he gets in your spot
 Truman laughed and concluded Some day I hope they'll build a tunnel between Congress and the White House so the President can come up here without blocking traffic"
 Truman also told his old Con- gressional colleagues that he hoped they would come down to see him. q may not always agree with you, D he said, But I'll give your request all the consideration think it is worth"
 Michigan's Republican Senator Vandenberg piped up at this point to ask Couldn't you give it just a little more consideration than you think it's worth?"
 They all agreed that the Presi- dency hadn't spoiled Harry and they didn't think it would.

TRUMAN'S OLD STAMPING GROUND

Il has been a long time since a President of the United States went up to Capitol Hill to confer with Congressman. However, it didn't seem at all unusual when President Harry Truman came up to the Senate for lunch on the first day he served as President of the United States. Also he didn't act any differently.
 T feel just as if someone had hit be over the head with 16- pound mallet," he said. T don't know what's happened to me yet.
 This morning." he continued, T wanted to come up on the Hill to see my old friends. and they tried to tell me it wasn't done.
 Done or not I replied, I'm going to do it.
 But when I went out to get my car, l found it surrounded by motorcycles They took me up to

kowtowing to gold braid, President Truman may look for new Naval Secretary.
 Secretary of the Treasury Mor- genthau-M orge n { h a u was the closest member of the Cabinet to Roosevelt. The relationship was in- innate and personal. He has done an Al job on war bonds and has been a good administrator, but his relations with Con gress are zero. Democratic Chairman Hannegan, who once served under Morgenthau, is a strong rooter for him and if Truman follows Hannegan's advice, Morgenthau will stay. However, Mrs. Morgenthau has been seriously ill, and the Secretary of the Treas ury may insist on retiring.
 Secretary of the Interior Ickes- The old Curmudgeon is the only member of the Cabinet who has consistently submitted his resigna- ton every time Roosevelt was re elected. It was never accepted. He is also submitting his resignation to Truman, but again it will not be accepted. Truman wants to keep the strongest men of the Roose- welt Cabinet, and Ickes, whether you like him or not, is strong. The possibility of Ickes remaining for the duration depends pretty much on whether Truman stays liberal or goes conservative.
 Attorney General Riddle Big interests have already started gun ming for Riddles scalp. They want to block further crack downs under the Antitrust Act. Also the big city bosses would like to have more protection on their tax problems. Riddle is too honest. He has also been Americas staunchest defender of the Civil Liberties. Therefore, Truman will think twice before re- placing him. His young friends, Hugh Fulton. counsel for the Tru- man Committee, is too inexperi- enced to jump into the job yet.
 Postmaster General Walker Prank Walker was second to Nor genthau as personal friend of F.DR. His appointment was largely a matter of friendship. However, Frank has done a good job as post master and likes to carry the mail. He will be the first to step aside though, if he thinks Truman wants to reward Bob Hannegan by mak- ing him Postmaster General.
 Secretary of Labor Perkins-She has resigned twice before and will resign again. This time it will be accepted. Miss Perkins has defi- nitely wanted to step out and Tru- man will take advantage of this opportunity to make his first re- placement. First on the list as Secretary Of Labor is his old Sen

GOOD MAN ADVANCES

 He has been with the Seattle Chamber for F years and has long had sympathetic interest in the development of Alaska. It's good news to hear from him that his job will allow him to devote enough time to be an active member of the Chambers Alaska Committee.

 check of the record for years back shows that Governor Gruening has probably vetoed more bills than any other Governor of Alaska Most of his predecessors have considered such legislation purely of local concern and the passage of bills by the Legislature had been good enough for them.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY. APRIL 21

SAI OHDA I, AChfL Al
 Benefic aspects rule today which should be most favorable to the United States Government and it's foreign policies.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women are under the most for tunate planetary influences which stimulate them to extraordinary at tainments. It is a lucky wedding date. The stars encourage domestic interests including home improve ments.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Postwar disposal of iron and steel plants will afford the Government opportunity to exercise care to pre- vent monopolies or unfair centrali- zation of interest in the great in- dustry on which so much national prosperity depends.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Great responsibilities are to de- volye on the nation this month when historic deliberations on American soil prove how great de- pendence the Allies have put upon the foremost of democracies.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 This most decisive month in a de- cisive year will close with great events that illuminate the future with splendid hope for the general welfare of mankind Astrologers long have prophesied that Aquarian influences would be strong, presag ing new understanding of the mean ing of liberty and equality.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fulfillment. Many dreams will come true as new patterns of life are accepted.
 Children born on this day pro- babiy will be courageous and deter mined, we'll balanced and successful. They will be adaptabley and popular.
