Old Order Changeth
by Th0n,as Stokes

As far as domestic issues concerned the pie lre as given by the Congressional primaries Ks none too clear this is demonstrated by the fact that neither side is yet confident about what likely to happen in November when it will be Democrats against Re- publicans.
 Uncertainty among the people is indicated by the success of present incubents fn 50 many cases. But where there have been upeets they have been sig. nfcant This applies chiefly to the Democratn Party.
 President Trumans personal success in eliminating Democratic foe of his domestic program in his own state and a powerfully placed one because of Rep. Slaughters seat on the House Rules Committee. serves as a symbol of interesting trend.
 This is the strengthening of the President in his own party MT. Truman's difficulty like that of his predecessor has been with the Southern wing of his party. The conservative bloc In the Southland 1t by no means includes all Southern memberships been weakened by the defeat of number of House meul- bers There defeats scatered-in Georgia, North Carolina Tennessee, and Oklahoma.
 In the Senate Mir. Truman has been strengthened by the selection of Rep. Sparknan (D.-Ala), Demo- cratic House whip, to the vacancy created by the death of Senator John Bankhead.
 It was evident in the scattered Southern vic- tories for bhe President that people finally have be- gun to up the fact that of their repre- sentatves have been voting more often with Repub licanS than with the President. The CIO.-PAC. was Instrumental in this process of education
 Elsewhere outside the South the Presidents sup that the issue be drawn more clearly in Novem- ber Republicans transating this for their purposes in propaganda by stressing the of what they call "leftsts" in busting veteran Democrats. The CIO. in its propaganda, twists it the other way by boastng of the defeat of number of reaction aries" within the party

Views of the Press

angle the Legislature had in mind as one reason for adopting a price fixing law on milk several years ago.
 There would be no sound reason why the State should guarantee the milk producer a profit any more than it should do so for other bus inesses and industries, did not milk represent a necessary health-food, especially for children. Having this health angle to work on, the farm CTS in the Legislature, whose num- Der is legion in the lower house, had no difficulty in joining this argu- ment with their demand for guar anteed profits in gaining enough votes to pass the law.
 In subsequent discussions, as at the hearing last week, the stress of argument has been laid On the eco- homie aspect-profit for the pro- ducer-an emphasis which MT Hammerberg also seemed to have in mind in one of his comments. That is only part of the underlying reason for the statute. The con- sumer is very much in the picture The price of milk to him is not di- rectly fixed by the State Milk Ad- ministrator but follows inevitably from prices ordered to be paid the producers by the dealers.

Many newspapers express the opinion that unsuspect readers wondering what the United States going to do about the economic and political changes in Central and South America We'll just be calm and recall your his tory lessons which explained troubles with Latin Amer caever since the Monroe Doctrine went into effect in the early days of American Government.
 When Eihu Root Secretary of State he made a goodwill visit to South America and nearly every Admns traton for the 30 40 years friendly emssares into all the little America s-rom Mexico to Argentina We have done very we'll in getting along with Brazil but have been unfortunate in relations with Argentina UnderSecretary of State and Acting Secretary of Stae the best job of any American diplomats tme Here in Washington there has been of these kind of beliefs that doesn't break downthat Hull jealous of Welles.

THISTLEBIRD
(NeW York Times)


 Astragalinus tristis is hand some, modest little fellow. This is the season of year when he and his peers are much in evidence. They add a bright spot of color as they fly over fields, gardens and pastures with their distinctive and peculiar undulations.
 The goldfinch ranks with the redstart and the scarlet tanager in the eye-arresting beauty of his ap pearance. His body is deep golden yellow; his wings and tail feathers are black. set off by creamy-white bars in his wings and streaks of white in his square-looking tail. His black beret seems to sit at jaunty angle above his bright eyes. His mate is demurely attired in greenish olive and attends strictly to domestic duties.
 Astragalinus gets his nickname, ''Thistlebird," because ripe missiles play an important part in his economy. The seeds are relished food and the down of the thistles furnishes a soft, fluffy lining for the nest where Lady Goldflnch broods her bluish-white eggs. MT. Goldfinch is particularly helpful in the practical matters of housekeep- ing.
 All in all, the thistlebrds are a decided asset to the countryside. While they eat few insects, they consume large quantities of weed seeds In the fall they like to come into the gardens and eat sunf1ower seeds Many farmer plants a row of the tau-growing sun worshipers so that the goldf1nches will come around his buildings for while in the autumn.

CONNECTICUT MILK
(Hartford Times

lf1dTlIOTQ 1llIleS)
 Bigger and better dairies seem to have become the fact in this State in recent years. State Milk Admin istrator Hammerberg points out that although the number of herds shrank by 40 per cent since 1883, the number of milch COWS reached it's all-time highest figure in 1944. During the last two years there has been a reduction of COWS of about 10 per cent.
 Those comparisons deserve to be kept in mind when it is stated by dairymen that they are being forced out of business because of being unable to operate at a profit. Their plea, quite understandably, is for a higher price for their product. It needs to be remembered that, from the consumers standpoint, the sit- uation is not urgent so long as big ger milk producers buy the small herds and the milk supply continues to be adequate. That is what mat ters for the public and that is the

be filed with the Clerk of the House and kept open for public inspection for two years.
 The final blow is that these financial statements a1e to be published in the Congressional Record every three months. On the days these statements appear it's good bet the Record will be thicker than metropolitan phone-book. Before the war there were only about 400 known and open lobbyists. To- day the number is close to 40O0
 Their new accounting to Congress must show even the of any publication in which lobby> iss have caused anything be printed and the leg iSation such publication sought to influence.
 Newspapers and other publications dealing hn current comment legislation and elections are ex- empt. Presumably, radio stations are, too though they're not mentioned specifically.
 An individual citizen sending wire to his Con- gresSnan telling the big bum to vote for or agan1sb
 certain bill would be considered lobbyist. group of citizens sending Congress petition would be e- empt
 But anybody who influenced lot of citizens to wire petition their Congressmen, and who was paid his efforts would have to register and re- port his salary and expenses.
 In an official statement the lobbying act, Senator Robert M. LaFoette of Wisconsin declared, Ut does not apply to organizations formed for other purposes whose efforts to influence leglsaton are merely incidental to their fundamental purposes! Maybe they can but their Congressional llaison- men, who tramp the halls of Congress to influence laws' had better register.

 Congress at long last is really ready to be tough on lobbyists.
