have resulted from the Presi-
dents presentation of the ma
tional picture as he sees it and his
list of suggestions for a legislative
program. 1t seems perfectly clear
that the President has gone neither
left nor right, that he is going straight
down the middle of the road-the
road we have been travelling fol
more than dozen years. He isn't
asking Congress to follow him uI
any unbeaten paths to the left and
he isn't proposing to move over onto
any outworn highways on the right
Most definitely he is not suggesting
that we turn around, buck the tide
of traffic. and march back over the
road along which We have come.
Just Same Truman.
And he isn't being anybody but
himself. Not another Roosevelt
Just the same Truman. The same
commonsenSe. middle Of the road
citizen he revealed himself TO be as
Senator and continues TO prove
himself as Chief Executive of the
S1C SSAi4S AOL4NCA1A A1ALSN tI4S
United States.
To realize how much middle-of
the-road President Truman is, il
must first be understood what anC
where the road is. It's an always new
road a road that we make as we
go along, plodding our way into the
future. Trail blazers go ahead, seek
{Y1n nl1t tho nnciaCt lr
sureSt footing. Sometimes We follow
them and sometimes we don
Roosevelt was such a trailblaZer anC
we sometimes failed or refused tc
follow him. A great mass. such as
the millions of us, isn't easy tc
lead. Compelled to keep moving OF
die in our tracks We have a mo-
mentum that makes any shift in
direction difficult. Such shifts dc
occur, usually accompanied by con-
fusion and complaint, because some
peoples toes get stepped on. but
the shifts seldom occur quickly.
President Truman. like the rest
of US, is in the middle of the great
movement. He is not attempting tc
change it. Quite apart from his
recognition of the difficulty of such
a change, there is little question that
he thinks we are moving in the right
direction
So he is saying to Congress, "In
order to keep going the way we have
set ourselves to go, the way the
people have made it clear in recent
years that they are determined tc
go, we've got to do these certain
things"
No New theology.
The things he proposes are not
new. They are startling only tc
those who fail to see they are the
same things. in fact or in principle
that we've become accustomed to
doing In other words, President
Truman is not Offering the country
a new theology: he is merely ex-
pressing in fortnight language his
desire that Congress sustain him in
the application of principles which
the country and Congress already
have accepted.
Emergency unemployment COM
pensation? Accepted in the 30s
it is now part of our way of life
The question is merely how much OF
how little and whether it is fair tc
leave many millions without its
protection.

been assigned to the army of oc-
cupation have any effect on the

ice when he becomes 40 years Of
age in few months?-G. A. V.
A. The War Department says

A. Men who are enlisted in the

serve cannot be assured of any
period of inactive duty. If a man
does not want to be called into
active duty until he is 18 he should
wait until he registers with the
draft and then request assignment
to the Marine Corps. However
actual assignment to that service
is not assured as the quotas are
based on the needs of the armed
forces at the time.
@. What does the term "enlistec
man" embrace in Army service?-
/ F. A. L.
A. The War Department says that
soldiers of our Army from the grade
of master sergeant down are known
as enlisted men regardless of the
method by which they entered the
Army.
