TRUMAN LISTENS

oeived White House callers he usually did three-fourths of the talking. When President Truman receives callers he usually does seven-eights Of the listening. But sometimes he fools people Here are two recent cases where he used widely varying techniques
 Last week Congressman Koppel- mann of Hartford, Conn, called at the White House to discuss strategy for winning congressional approval Of the bill defining our participation ill the United Nations. Six months before Representative Sol Bloom and Senator Tom Con nally had introduced their bills for sending U. S. representatives to JNO, Koppelmann had beat them to it with a similar bill.
 The President listened carefully as Kopplemann told him of COP plans to introduce in the House the same crippling amendments of- fered by Senator Taft of Ohio, though finally defeated
 As Kopplemann was about to leave, Truman spoke almost his first word
 MT Kopplemann," he said, I'm glad you came in I know of your deep interest in this legislation and appreciate your advice I will dis cuss it with the Speaker and the Majority Leader
 Perhaps you noticed that was making notes while we were talk ing. like to do that when I talk with people-because 50 often ] find that there is much I can learn from the people who come to this office"

Elephantine Outlook
Washington Post

The current issue of the Republican News official organ of the national committee is just to hand, and under the csption Its Fun to Be President we note fron-page article set in parallel columns titled "Truman's My Day." on the one hand and "A Citizens Diary" on the other The publication en- deayors to show-we suppose-that Mir Truman IS frittering away this time while the Nation burns
 This is meant to be comical, so we'll give you sample in order to let you share in the eephantme mirth The COP version of the Presidents diary for Saturday october G. starts off follows Motored to Berryvile Va for Bennett Clarks marriage to Actress Violet fleming Took part as best sman. Back to Capital where three Government planes formed air party for Missouri weekend to see Charlottesville County Fair Smooth trip slept and played poker :" Since the imaginary citizen whose diary for the same day appears contguously is concerned exclusively with strike problems we take it that the COP publicsts are trying to prove that MT Trumans time is occu- pied exclusively with trivia All that they have ac- complished however, so far see, is to dis parage as trivial three revered and firmly established American institutions, marriage, county fairs and poker
 Morally this is, perhaps peg above the partys recent efforts to prove that the late President Roose vet deliberately invited the Japanese to destroy the United States Navy at Pearl Harbor. But politically 1t is unlikely to prove any effective for the simple reason that it is equally nonsensical. Whatever Mir Tulmans shortcomings he has shown no lack of con- scentiousness about his job The COP is likely to be no more successful in the future than it has been throughout the past decade if it persists in sterile negation and juvenile carrying of the argument ad honinem The American people are looking for an affirmative program

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compet'
SATURDAY, DECEMBER IS

This is a day in which benefic as- poets control buying and selling. It is a fortunate day for Christmas shopping.
 HEART AND HOME
 Under this configuration the man of the family assumes special im- pcrtance. Since so many women are economically independent he may expect more substantial Christmas remembrances than in previous years. The stars appear to smile up- on him.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 This is a favorable date for clear ing all indebtedness as a prepara- tion for a new year. Prosperity is still to prevail.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 The spirit of peace and good will will not permeate public affairs. Im- portant national decisions relating to our foreign policies will be post poned until l946. The outlook is good for a strengthening of our foreign policies.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 There are omens read as indicat- ing the death of men who have been foremost in world affairs. In Europe, Asia and the United States the toll of war will reach to persons who wield power over their fellow men.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of financial ups and downs which in the end will prove most fortunate.
 Children born on this day probably will be highly gifted but aware of their mental superiority. They may be independent and domineering. Wise and unflagging discipline will be necessary for development.

CASUALTIES IN WAR AND PEACE

Two years ago the blood-soaked beaches, the bunkers and the foxholes of Tarawa were firmly in the hands of the United States Marines Three days of bitter onslaught and immortal heroism had given us the Japanese stronghold. They had cost us l026 dead and 2557 wounded total casualties of 3583. We hold green the memory of those dauntless men who upheld so galantly the traditions of the Marine Corps.
 But how do we celebrate at home, the principle

Byrnes, and if they ask for it I certainly won't approve it."
 This prompted an impish ques- tion from Senator Vandenberg.
 'Is that the way to foster closer relations with the Russians?" he asked. Then he went on to remark that it doesn't help matters at all to open our treasury to the British and then close it to the Russians and others.

different story, when the Presi- dents old cronies of the Truman Committee (now the Mead Con- mittee) came up to talk about the way the Army is hoarding surplus materiel
 Chairman Jim Mead of New York and Committee Counsel George Meader had prepared de- tailed report showing how the Army is hoarding millions of blan- kets, sheets, underdrawers, and other surplus goods. Mead began to read from this document, but before he could get into it, the President took over.
 Yes, know about that, Jim" said Truman. i've been doing a lot of thinking about this whole question of surplus disposal, and I'm going to work out new scheme to push the stuff out I'm going to give the whole sales job to the REC, and put some top flight merchandisers in there. We'll put merchandisers in the REC regional offices, too, to get the goods moving. I know some of you don't like the way the REC has been functioning, but it is the organization which has regional offices already set up, and I think it will be better to work through an operating set-up."
 Truman then continued to do most of the talking. He told the committee that the Smaller War Plants Corporation would be kept in the picture as a claiming agency for small business and veterans, and talked at length of the urgency of getting property moved.

 TRUMAN TRUSTS ARMY
 Senator Harley Kilgore of West Virginia interrupted at one point to remark:
 But, Harry, all this merchan- dising is a fine idea only if you can see to it that the Army will declare these goods surplus"
 Kilgore and Senator Owen Brew ster of Maine made the further point that there must be some as- surance that the Army declare commercially valuable goods sur- plus
 You're perfectly right about that" Truman agreed. but he did not offer any assurance that he would take steps to see that the Army unloads. His attitude seemed to be that the brass hats will come around to it shortly.
 Mead never did get more than started on his report of Army stockpiling because Truman did practically all the talking. Appar- ently, he felt he was right back in his old job of committee chair man.
 As the Senators left, Mead shook hands with the President and had walked halfway to the door before he remembered that he was still holding the special re- port in his hand. Returning to the Presidents desk, he said
 We made this up for you, Harry and I guess we might as well leave it. You seem to know the story but anyhow the details are here.
 As the committee left the White House, one Rpublican Senator re- marked, Harry never used tC dominate our meetings as much as he did today. I've never knowr him to carry the ball all alone like that. That's the way FDR usec to act when we'd call on him. Tn worried about Harry"

PASS SENATE FIRST

One reason for the secret dinner was to discuss the best strategy for winning congressional approval. Vinson and Byrnes both worried about .House reaction, feeling that lengthy and acrimonious public de- bate over the loan would be bad for our relations with the British. Although they expect eventual House approval, they felt it would go through with less difficulty and embarrassment if the Senate were to vote first.
 Usual procedure on all matters involving appropriations, however, is for the House to consider the legislation first.
 But the Senators, still irked be- cause they had not been consulted during the negotiations, were in no mood to make the winning of con- gressional sanction for the loan any easier than they had to- Instead of agreeing that the loan should be referred to them first, they in- sisted that ordinary procedure be followed, with legislation first going to the House
 (Note-Of all the solons present, the only man who seemed truly anxious to help the State and Treasury Departments was New Hampshire's Republican Senator Charles Tobey. One of the most isolationist senators in the early part of the war, Tobey has now bemoce a genuine progressive)

POSTWAR BOOKLET
WINS WIDE FAVOR

Rea ction both state and national,
IN one of Wilmlngton's initial steps
in postwar planning has been nigh
" favorale so far, according 10
George Conant, of the Tide water
Power company.
Editors. civic leaders and mu-
nicipal officials in the immediate
.rea have commended Mr.. Conant
on his publication-'Thls IS 1t,
published a few months ago IN an
attempt to arouse interest locally
in the necessity for planning now
FOR the inevitable postwar slump.
RECOGNIZING the need fo- softenlng
the blow of decreased industrial
activity in this area after the war
ends the Tide Water company, IN
the booklet, points up the natural
advantages of Wilmington and the
reasons why it should continue the
industrial expansion to which 'he
war has given impetus.
After the distribution OF some
5000 copies of This is It., Mr.
Conant toured the eastern secuoh
of North Carolina and talked with
civic leaders in the towns to deter
mine their reaction, and he found
It unanimously favorable. Conse-
quently, the power company plans
to follow this booklet up with otQer
suggestions on postwar procedures
and announces that the engineer
ing and industrial services OF the
company are available to any inter-
ested community.
The booklet features the natural
assets of Wilmington: its history,
its tourist attractions, its gardens
and agricultural and industrial po-
1ential. To develop to the fullest
Wilmington's local gifts is it's OBJ
legation to the returning veterans
of this area; it is our duty, M.
Conant pointed out, to provide IN
Wilmington ample employment and
interests for those who may want
to return and make their homes
here.
