bug" the country has witnessed
since p. T. Barnum. The Congress
recognized Mr.. Bowles for just
what he is-a politician, ambitious
and anxious to use the great
horde of political workers in the
OPA to promote his candidacy for
office. Congress know that the
people back home wanted relief
from the harsh regulations of
OPA, while at the same time they
wanted any sensible provisions of
price control retained. Congress
gave the country such a bill. 1t
contained the provision for freez-
ing rents for the time being, while
doing away with thousands of
price ceilings no longer needed.
The bill would have done away
with thousands and thousands of
"taXeaters" who were harassing
the people with OPA rules, regula-
tions and red tape" Those about
to be dispossessed, staged a fight
for their good-paying jobs. They
became one of the most powerful
Hobbies ever seen in Washington.
But they could not fool the con-
gress. They found it easy, how
ever, to get to the President.
They had, it can be believed, the
backing OF Mr.. Hannegan who
could easily believe that a scare
campaign with the prestige of the
Presidency of the United States
behind it, might establish Mr.. Tru-
man as great friend of the
masses, which he never has been.
The masses of Americans never
would have made Harry S. Tru-
man the vice presidential nomi-
nee in a contest against Henry A.
Wallace.
A n d Hannegan's Shenanigans
would very naturally suggest that
the President launch a smearing
attack against the most enlight-
ened battler against the Truman
vagaries. That man is Senator
Robert A. Taft of Ohio. Bob" Taft
is the most intelligent and most
courageous members of the United
States Senate. He is an unasham-
ed conservative, but respects the
oath he took to preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution of the
United States. Mr.. Truman ap-
pears to have forgotten that he,
too, took such an oath. In his
thirst for power he asked Con-
gress to pass a law to draft work
ers who strike and put them in
the Army. 1t was Senator Taft, the
conservative, who waged the win
ming fight against that outrageous
And so that is the rea-
son why Mr.. Truman made a
whipping boy" out of Senator
Taft.
Hannegans Shenanigans have
been successful in only one big
try-out. That was in putting the
skids under Henry A. Wallace in
the Democratic Convention of
1914. The Presidents veto of the
OPA bill undoubtedly has terribly
reduced Mr.. Truman's puny bat
ting average - thanks to Hanne-
gan's Shenanigans.

dren. foster father OF eight and has
nine grandchildren. He is a veteran
OF World War /.
Mr.. Clare talked on The Amer
lean Home" correlating some OF his
experiences with the four cen chill
dren he raised. He proved that the
home was background Of youthful
guidance. He pointed out that home
environment was the most import
ant cause OF youthful crime and
juvenile delinquency. He described
true experiences OF crime waves
sweeping the nation today. During
1945 more persons age II were ar
rested than any other age group.
Upon examination. the result was
often the product OF a broken
home. The mother or father were
OF low moral character and the
youth had no respect for either.
Failure TO receive proper parental
guidance at home is more often
cause than the false belief that the

into veterans by their war expert
