Harry S. Truman-on the weighty
problems of war, and of fierce
pickering with both on major
domestic issues.
Before them lie the November
congressional elections which Re-
publicans insist will give them
control of the House of Representa-
tives for the first time since Her
bert Hoover was President. The
Democrats express an opposite
view.
Probably no Congress saw or
helped make more history than the
18th. During its tenure the nations
only four-term President died, the
shooting phase of the worlds
worst war came to an end. and the
nation started on the long and
thorny road back to a peacetime
basis.
Certainly few Congresses ever
have treated SC coldly the legis-
lative requests of a CHIEF execu-

Congress Just about half the things
he requested IN more than a dozen
! messages to the lawmakers.
He had trouble even with his Of
fetal appointments, the Senate re-
fusing to confirm his nomination
of Edwin Pauley, California oil
man, to be undersecretary of the
Navy. The appointment stirred ur
a row that brought about the
! resignation Of Harold 1ckes as
Secretary Of the Interior.
The Presidents major fights
were on labor legislation and price
controls, on both of which he sent
to Congress vetoes that were sus.
tanned.
He got nowhere at ali on his
proposals fer universal military
training and for merger Of the arm

CAL. Rivals Seek Second
 Round Title

One of the most hotly contested baseball games of the local season is on the books for late today; P M. at Hamilton Park, with the Thomas Club and Washington Hills of the City Amateur League as op- ponents.

Manager Pat Quilter will have Ralph Bradley ready as his starting pitcher and his entire club pointed for a win over the North enders, whose first round win over The Hills knocked the Quiltermen out of first round title chance. Die kRedman, the Bristol high school boy is apt to be Manager Johnny Lauria's starting pitcher. indicating a mound duel that will please the large crowd expected for the game.
 Possibilities
 If the Tommies win todav's 5 o'clock game. they meet the Brook -vn array Sunday at Municipal Sta dlum; that winner to meet the Franco Americans in the first game If the playoffs for the league title. The latter game will be played at the stadium Sunday as part of double-header; the two teams to meet again on Labor Day in a dou- ble-header eff necessary for the which is played for on a best of three" basis Winning team leaves Waterbury Tuesday morning for the national tourna- ment at Harrisburg.
