Clifford Given Task
|0f Drafting Truman 5
Labor Law Proposals
BY Inc A.seeiotsd Press

President Truman turned to-
day to Clark M. Clifford, his
youthful special counsel, in a
search for labor law revisions
aimed at forestalling future
economy -strangling. strikes.
Specifically, the Chief Executive
is said to want written into law "a
clear concept OF labor's responsibility
to the people and the Government.
Mr.. Truman assigned Mr.. Clifford
to the task Of co-ordinating in
formation and Recommendations
coming into the White House from
virtually every Federal agency as
well as from wide segments Of in
dustry and labor.
Played Key Role.
MI Clifford, a former st. Louis
lawyer, played a key role in the
administrators coal strike strategy
which brought John L. Lewis to
surrender last Saturday.
Mr.. Clifford would not discuss his
work, but other officials familiar
with his assignment said he is carry
ing the major load Of the pre-
liminary work on Mr.. Truman's
state OF the Union" message to be
submitted to the new Republican,
controlled Congress.
These officials, asking not to be
quoted by name, said the Presidents
labor proposals are yet to be form
ulated and that speculation as to
their nature would be premature. :"
Making Complete Survey.
One highly placed friend told
reporter:
THE President is making a COM
plete survey and study now. When
1t is completed he will, as usual, call
in all Government officials who
would be concerned with the admin
istration Of any phase Of the labor
program and discuss 1t with them
as well as with congressional people.
HE doesn't want punitive legis-
lation. What he would like to have
written in the law Is clear concept
of labor's responsibility to the peo-
pie and the Government"
Mr.. Clifford's work on labor legis-
lation Is only a part Of the overall
study dealing with all phases of the
legislative recommendations which
will 60 to Congress about January 6.
In view of the epidemic Of strikes
during the past year, however, wide
spread interest has been aroused In
what new approach to the problem
the White House may propose.
Mr.. Clifford was hardly known In
politics last June 81, when, at 80,
he was picked by Mr.. Truman to
succeed Samuel I. Rosenman in the
$l2, ,O00-a-year speech writing and
advisory job.
The one-time attorney had been
serving as the Presidents naval aide
with the rank of captain. Since that
time, he has played a steadily in
creasing part in inner circle con-
ferenees.
Unlike most Missouri appointees
of the President, Mr.. Clifford is no
long time friend OF Mr.. Truman.
Meet in st. Louis.
The two first met at a dinner party
in ST. Louis about eight years ago
when Mr.. Truman was a Senator.
Their next meeting was in 1914
when Mr.. Clifford had lunch with
Mr.. Truman, John w. Snyder. now
Secretary of the Treasury, and James
*. Vardaman, now q Federal Re-
serve Board governor.

White House Mn CHI 0ds6uoeeedod
