The Case bill is permanent legis-

though far harsher, has a time limit

Important Distinction.
With the Case bill on the statute
books, Mr.. Truman would be ac-
cused OF reversing 13 years of
Roosevelt labor policy. With his
substitute he can argue he dealt with
a temporary crisis. The distinction
is important in an election year.
The President told Senator Wag-
ner he must have stern legislation
to meet present conditions. He re-
minded the veteran liberal that he
had as Senator voted for the Wag-
ner Act and said he did not want to
take from labor any of its gains.
He expressed firm dislike Of the Case
bill.
Senator Wagner brought back to
the prolabor wing President Tru-
mans assurances. They were the
muted key to speech by Senator
Mead of New York, which was

Senator Taft says it is unwork-

he is naturally not inclined to give

What do you think the back seat is?
A clothes closet? You take just as
much luggage and junk as you used
to, but somehow you've gotten the
idea that you won't have to pack

So help me, it wouldn't surprise
me to have you change in the car

almost recovered his good humor
when We rounded the corner of his
mothers house, where we were to
pick her up to drive North with US
There on the sidewalk were all the
things she had ready to take with
her. Henry never cusses in front OF
his mother. but I don't seem to deter
him any, so we stopped the car and
let him get all the he'd -be-a this

driving into the driveway.
Sack Of String Beans, Too.
From then on it was, "Oh, no
Ma'am, we can get that in some
how" and "Yes, Ma'am, I'll be care
full Of your hats" I could see him
just about exploding, though, when
the homemade preserves. the bags
Of oranges. the watermelon, the five
pound package Of salt pork, and
lastly-the thing I thought was
going to blow the lid off-an enor-
nous paper sack Of Kentucky Won
der string beans were slowed in the
car.
Henry's mother explained that hi.
sister, whose home is in Canada
missed Southern food. 50 she felt
duty-bound to take her some good
beans and salt pork to cook with
them. She further explained that
we could keep them handy and when
We stopped for gas "Son" could take
them out and water them to keep
them fresh.
A few minutes ago we got a nat
tire, no less. Henry has just started
up the road toward a filing station
and I wonder If I should call him
back to get the green beans, They
haven't been sprinkled for hours
No, I-guess I'd better not. He has
never cussed his mother-yet.
