BACK TO FARMING

(New Haven Journal -Courier3
 It Is betraying no business confi- dence, nor starting any real estate boom with malice or profit afore. thought, to report that rural real estate is active again. A typical city newspaper reports "a definite trend toward the purchase of small farms by persons of modest financial cir- cunstanceS.
 This as c rather familiar after the.war phenomenon, but the pres- ent back ito -the.land movement seems likely to develop unusual

 when FDR was there.
 Rep Charley Halleck of Rensselaer,, Ind, summed 1t up this way near the close of the session:
 "Weve got to quit electing Truman. The way we're operating here the only fight Truman will have in 1o4s will be within his own party-the fight be- tween the Democrats and the Commucrats."
 Plenty of vitriol was thrown on Truman from all sides "Ies just determined to give America away to England and the others in Europe as Roosevelt was" shouted reactionary Howard Buffett of Omaha, Neb He referred to Truman as Harry Truman Pen- dergast."
 were in a situation now where it's practically suicide to stand up and make speech for America" howled Frederick Doc" Smith, of Hardings home town, Marion, Ohio.
 Several analyses of Truman were made with strong feeling that he is a more dangerous man than Roosevelt because he is not fortnight as Roosevelt
 He has learned at the Pendergast school" said Nebraska's 5pffett land he has learned to appear modest and honey"
 Among other crimes the COP holds against Tru- man is the fact that he is not college man-al his simplicity and his lack of polish merely mask sharp political mind which, in its way, is just as dangerous to the COP as was Roosevelt-if not more so.
 "What Truman is going to do," one Midwest ern Republican said Ifs to let this Congress have It's way" Deduction was that this would be tough on COP Congressmen They thrive on political battles with the White House.
 The Republicans were told, for instance that they will not get chance to vote on abolishing the draft because the Democratic leadership Will Keep the issue from vote until the pressure gets heavier Then at the right psychological moment 1t was pre- dicted, the White House will abolish the draft py executive order, thereby hogging the credit.
 Otherwise there was little done in the caucus It was supposed to work up legislative program, but little of constructive nature was said Brassy.lunged John Taber of Auburn N. r., ranking Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, made his usual speech calling for economy in government. As usual he was seconded by Harold KnutSon of Manhattan Beach, Minn., ranking Republican on the Ways and Means Committee.
 At this point Clarence Brown of Manchester Ohio walked out
 'Whats the use of staying" he remarked, when I can read 1t all in Drew Pearsons column laterY
 Only once did the Republicans hear anything which made them vince a bit This came from Progressive Charley La Toilette of Evansville 1ndp who spoke on the pending legislation to create a Fair Employment Practices Committee Because 1t was

MATERIALS FIRST
(New Britain Herald)

Before reconversion can attain It's objective of full employment there must be materials with which to work. The industries prdoucing ma. terials for other industries already are hard at work; but 1t will take time. Until materials are at hand, much needed production in consum- CT goods and needs cannot be creat. cd. This is the "reconversion lag" we hear about.
 Seems to us we should have a bit more patience. Some folks have been talking as if the impossible Is a nec- essity.
 Buildinc restrictions of all kinds 40 off oct. iS. for instance; but that hardly will make much difference until next spring. And how long after that will 1t take to provide the new housing so badly needed9 The rent shortage under these cir cumstances will continue for the best part of a year.

 Evoke the envy of my neighborS. On me they aimed the eye of scorn For trying the come-lately corn, And laughed, as to my plot l

 nothing'S gambled. .. My garden, an unlovely thing Through summer, from the early
 spring, Could not be praised for any crop; This year my garden was a hop.
 Keep, thou, the frost away, old
 dear,
 Another fortnight of the year, And let no evil creatures bore 1t; I'll crow-and borrow butter for it.. From those who said: Tt can't be
 done; It has to have the summer sun" To thee, an offering I will make, If thou sayest "Okey-dokey." Jake?
