ing a letter of this kind to a
 Congressional committee went further than most Roosevelt attempts to influence Congress. and members of the Rules Com mittee resented it.
 However, if Truman erred poli- tically, he did not err when it came to carrying out party pledges. He put himself square ly behind promise he made during the campaign, while Re- publican Congressional leaders, having made a similar pledge, welched.
 Final impression you get of Truman during this trial heat is that he has been working under tremendous pressure, is tired and needs the rest he will now enjoy with his old friend, Governor Mon Wallgren, in Washington State. All of which makes it even more miraculous that Franklin Roosevelt held out physically as long and as we'll as he did.
 SENATOR'S RULED NORWAY
 Less than three weeks ago, young Senator Hugh Mitchell of Washington had the unique dis tinction of being the highest civil authority in Norway. Opposition Leader" of Norway was Michi- gan's Republican Senator Homer Ferguson.
 The two Senators, arriving in Norway to investigate surplus property for the Mead Commit tee, drove from their dock to Oslo's famed Hotel Bristol. All along the way they were aston- ished to see fully armed Nazi soldiers strolling about freely. Several hundred thousand armed Nazis, they discovered, were still in Norway with no one to accept their surrender.
 The Norwegian Government was due to return shortly, and until their arrival, Senator Mitchell as Democratic Senator of a Democratic Senator of a Govern ment to which Germany had sur-

Selected Poem
INVISIBLE SURFACE

INVISIBLE SURFACE George Abbe in The Christian Science Monitor Still is the day and soft the leaves That have come to the lilac, the young world oi
 trees. Over dream-far hills The pillows of green are ripenng-full, The clouds puff pale, and misty-cool The warm sky is still. Wild mustard and bluet are sweeping the grass With shadows of color, like clouds that pass Over waters of glass. Bue-white cloud spread far over meadow And blurred gold cloud like sun-flung shadow In supple mass. All these lie calm the sleeping breath Of spring, on the swelling life beneath That cannot wait, That lifts into something unseen and unheard- surface that holds us, that takes the swift bird Like clean ice the skate.

rendered - was the highest civil official there. Since Norweign party lines are not yet fully re- redrawn. Ferguson, a Republican, was entitled tobe called the "Op- position Leader"
 The proprietor of the hotel told the Senators that the entire hotel had been occupied by Nazi off, cers until two days earlier. On May 28, an American Colonel Wilson had arrived with 12 off cers-the first American staff men to reach Norway.
 We want living space and office rooms,'' Colonel Wilson told the proprietor.
 But the hotel is fully Oc- cupied," replied the embarrass- ed hotel manager. Later he casually mentioned that the occupants were Nazi officers.
 At Wilson's suggestion, the Nazi commandant was called in and asked to leave. Two hours later every Nazi had packed up, walked through the lobby with full equip ment, and marched to a camp On the outskirts of the city.
 The American Commander is now installed in the fabulous mansion built by the notorious Vidkun Quisling for his own oc- cupancy.
 Not only did the hundreds of thousands of Nazis surrender to a dozen Americans and a somewhat larger British mili- tary mission, but a group of six American sailors and their of- ficers took over ten surrender ing submarines in the harbor near Oslo.
 The two Senators saw Nazi with side-arms all about them during their stay in Oslo, but weren't worried. They wore their arms as a matter of pride be- cause no one tried to stop them. Most of the Nazis were in near by camps-with their own armed sentries.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-19

On the surface there is 8 new atmosphere in the Whie House when you walk into it these days. If for instance, you drop in on White House Secretary Charlie Ross, he is cordial, courteous, but brief. There is no invitation or inclination to sit down and gos- sip. This business like atmosphere prevails throughout the entire White House staff.
 If you go on in to see Ross boss, you get in on time. There are few waits. And the little man On the other side of the big broad shiny desk listens intently. He wants to hear what his visi- tors have to say. These are two definite innovations.
 Gone are the days when big shots calling on Roosevelt would
 fret and fu1ne during an hours
 wait, then, after spending half an hour with him, go out and brag that they had spent an
 hour and a half "at the White house." With Truman you are allotted a certain number of
 minutes, and he holds to that
 schedule.
 Moreover, you can make the most of your allotted time. Tru- man is anxious to listen. Roose- welt on the other hand, did most of the talking himself. Visitors hadt to interrupt forcefully to put across their ideas.
 GOOD DOMESTIC
 ADMINISTRATOR
 Truman gives the impression ofhaving a firm grasp on all domestic problems. He knows them thorough - undoubtedly better than Franklin Roosevelt during his laater years, when he was devoting all his time othe war.
 One of Truman's frequent re- plies to callers when they urge action on some special idea is:
 'I realize that. But it takes time to do all these things, and seldom have so many important things confronted us all at one tine. I'll get around to that just as soon as I can."
 One thing that worries him most is our foreign affairs. The new President frankly realizes it is his main weakness. He does not have Roosevelt's international background, therefore has to reply almost wholly on his diplomats.
 Truman's method of running the Government is that of pick ing good men and giving them free rein. This is good system, and we could have had more of it in the past. But it breaks down when the President is not sure he can reply on the men picked to perform the most i'm portant job we now face-build- ing up the peace after the war. Truman told Stettinius, for in- stance, that he was to be his own boss at San Francisco. But he found that Stettinius called him on the phone once or twice a day to get his approval of almost every decision.
 FIRES HIS FRIENDS
 Unlike Roosevelt, Truman does not hesitate to fire a man who doesn't produce. He let Leonard Reinsch go back to his radio job in Atlanta the day after he handled himself badly in a press conference He transferred Ed ward D. McKim, his Administra- tive Assistant, after it became known that the genial and like able McKim seemed too engross- ed to Mrs. Hope Diamond Mo- Leans dinner parties and the social whirl of Washington.
 PoliticOs on Capitol Hill credit Truman with one political error so far-his letter to the House Rules Committee asking it to vote out the Fair Employment Practices Bill, bitterly opposed by Southern legislators. Writ

Have rails always been made
Of steel?

Have rails always been made
Of steel?
The earliest tracks in the United
States were built of wooden rails
capped with thin strips, or STRAPS"
Of iron to provide running surface
for the wheels. These were called
"strap-rails." Iron rails 10 feet in
length were imported from England
as early as 1881, and by 1845 or 1850
most railroads were being built of
iron rails. The first Bessemer steel
rails manufactured in the United
States were rolled in 1865, and by
1880 about 80 per cent of all tracks
in the United States was laid with
steel rails. At the end of another ten
years, 80 per cent of the country's
mileage was equipped with steel rails,
and by the late 1905 steel had almost
completely replaced iron.
