WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, The
second session of the 18th Con-
gress convenes tomorrow facing a
sharp challenge from President
Truman to act mediately on
legislation vital to administration
reconversion policies.
The session may be one of the
stormiest in years. Many men,
bers of both parties still are smart
ing from the spanking Mr.. Tru-
man administered in his last radio
address to the nation. He charged
then that Congress had needlessly
delayed consideration of urgent
measures.
High on the second session S
agenda is the Presidents request
for establishment of the con-
troversial fact-finding boards in
labor disputes. Mr.. Truman has
emphasized that such boards must
have legal backing if they are to
prove effective.
The first order of business, how
ever, will be an investigation Of
the Rehabilitation wrangel. This
is considered a particularly ex-
plosive political issue in this, an
election year.

parts of the world against what

and Senate will 60 to the Library

that Wilmington doctor may be

such hospital.
Plans are in the talking stage at

which are being talked for the

Also it is known that Earl Russ,

PLEASURE WITH BUSINESS
The combination is somewhat un-
usual, but R. A. Muldrow, taximan
of the Carolina Beach area, picks
up an honest dollar during his off

Every night, after cutting off his
taximeter, Muldrow, along with
Sam Long, Paul White, and G.
Cooke, try the waters of the
beaches and sounds for mullets
and spots. On small scale.
A night or so ago they came up
with $50 pounds of mullets for
which they received 10 cents per

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 29.-The
name of former Senator James j.

light of Pennsylvania COP politics
today, as another-that of 1t. Col.

"Puddler Jim" Davis, who peren-

a report by labor leaders that he
would once again seek a senatorial
post-the one now held by Joseph F.
Guffey, a Democrat.
But Lewis G. Hines, former State
secretary of labor and industry and
now legislative agent of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, declared
he had Mr.. Davis permission in
taking out nominating petitions for
the May 81 primary from the State
Elections Bureau.
Mr.. Davis, who served in the Sem

Opportunities in TeIevision
Outlined to Advertising Men

Opportunities and problems In ad-
vertising by television were consid-
cred today at the opening discussion
session Of a one-day "television in

Statler under the auspices of the
Advertising Club Of Washington and
Televiser Magazine.
Paul Mowrey, television supervisor
|of the American Broadcasting Co.,
told the advertising men they prob
ably would be obliged to pay from
two to three times more for tele-
vision than for radio broadcasting
He estimated, however, that the SELL
ling power of television would be
from five to ten times greater than
radio.
Paul Raibourn, president of Tele-

that every advertising medium offers
special advantages in particular
fields.
