Taft Ready to Announce Role in Labor Committee

Washington, Dec, 2l. (uP)--House Republican leaders today set April 1.-the day John L. Lewis ends his strike truce in the soft coal fields as a deadline for passage of labor legislation.
 At the same time, Sen. Robert A. Taft, (R., O. an advocate of strong curbs on unions, said he would reveal today whether he will take the chairmanship of the im- portant Senate Labor Committee in the new Congress. There were strong indications that he would.
 There are more things under the jurisdiction of the labor and education Committee that require affirmative action than any other committed" Taft said significantly in an interview. Taft Holds Seniority
 Taft's seniority gave him the choice between the labor and Finance Committees but his state- ment left little doubt what his de- cision would be. He said his chief rival for the Labor post, Sen. George D. Aiken, (R,-Vt), had written a "very nice letter" suggesting Taft take the job.
 On the House side of the Capitol Rep. Clarence J. Brown of Ohio, an influential Republican, said 1t was essential that Congress make the April 1 expiration of the coal truce the headline for new labor laws.
 If we cannot pass permanent legislation to control the situation by that date. our country will be in bad shape" Brown said. What ever we do, 1t must come in time to meet the threat of @ nationwide strike paralysis"
 Sharpens Need for Laws
 The adjournment of the national soft coal producers negotiating committee has sharpened the need for legislation to protect the pub lie from further suffering" Brown said. He pointed out that Lewis ordered the truce to permit time to negotiate @ new contract.
 A meeting of the producers conn mittee broke up when Southern mine operators refused to join Northerners in offering to open ne- gotiations immediately. The South- ern group said further action should await a Supreme Court decision Tn the contempt case against Lewis and his United Mine Workers (AFL).
 Taft said that the Senate would have its decks clear for some action on labor by Feb. IS. Although he took no position on any proposal he said Q ban on the closed shop and some provisions of the case bill-vetoed last session by the President-would have the easiest sailing,

 The I. B. M. was the first prop erty owner to file an appeal as a result of the recent property re- assessment program.

 q Governor Arnall would
 hold over for another four-year
 term.
 3. Lt-Gov. M. E. Thompson.
 scheduled to take ofice Jan. l4,
 would file suit claiming success
 sion to the goveFnorShip.
 Governor ArnaM sent a message of coincidence to the Talmadge family and ordered the closing of the State Capitol where the fiery political leader had won some of his greatest triumphs.
 Death was due to complications following the stomach hemorrhages suffered at Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 3.
 Talmadge lost consciousness late yesterday.
 Has Carbon Copy Son
 Talmadge was born Sept. a. 1884 in Forsyth. Monroe County, Ga. In 1909 he had married a young widow. the former Matte CThurmondD Peterson. They had two daughters, Mrs. W. H Kimbrough and Mrs. Charles Smyly, and a son Herman, who is a carbon copy of his father in person. in personality and in politics. He managed his fathers recent campaign and a previous un- successful one.
 Talmadge'S election to a fourth term capped a political career as stormy as it was successful. Seven- teen times he called out troops to ouSt public ofiicials and to quell strike riots.
 The martial law suppression of labor disturbances when he was governor in 1885 permanently alien ated what labor vote he had.
 The country reared lawyer farmer told his rural constituents he scorned the vote and influence of the wealthy. It was his boast that he never. in any election, carried a county with a street car in it. But political students knew Talmadge often had the support of railroads, banks and some corporations.
 Admitted It Wasted Him
 Talmadge's last campaign was his hardeSt-fought. and when victory was his the old campaigner admit ted that 'lt took years off my life"
 Talmadge particularly wanted to nVe to serve another term. He felt his election in 1946 on the white supremacy" issue was a vindication of the race" stand which cost him the governorship four years ago. He hao nred two state university ofIi- cials because. he said, they wanted Negroes and whites in the same schools.
 His action brought dis-accredita- tion to the state university system and Ellis Arnall. backed by thou- sands ot college students, rode into Talmadge's office with a promise to restore college standings. He did.
 This time Talmadge won on A promise to restore the Democratic primary to 'the white folks" bv changing the party to e private club and thus exclude Negro voters. He planned to personally ask the l947 laws.
 Resented New Deal
 Talmadge loudly championedl states rights, looked on most people from outside Georgia as ''furriners." l" and tiercely resented Federal bureaus and agencies of the New Deal. He waged constant war on the WPA, called 1t "boondoggling."
 Talmadge once brought national condemnation upon himself by re- terring to President Roosevelt,s physical inflrmity. From that point in l9S5-on he was violently anti Roosevelt.
 When Talmadge died he was fac- Ing the possibility of having to break a cherished political tenet. He always waged war on taxes. But it appears the promises he made dur ing his last campaign could not be-
