1t is no secret that many of the
Democratic Party strategists are
very seriously concerned, as they
look toward the 1948 general cleo
ton, with how to reconcile Presi-
dent Truman's recent record with
his past positions, and with the
views of a large percentage of the
Party's representation in Congress.
The primary reconciliation in
wolves labor policy. In his veto of
the Taft-Hartley Bill, the Presi-
dent denounced it in almost every
particular. Yet, during the ma
tiOnal railroad strike of about a
year ago, Mr.. Truman appeared be-
fore Congress and asked passage
of bill which, in many ways, was
sitter than the Taft-Hartley mea-
sure.
This has resulted in a rather re-
markable development. At that
time, the head of one of the major
railway brotherhoods announced
that he would use the entire union
treasury, if need be, to help as
sure Mr.. Truman's defeat, should
he run again. Today there has
been a complete reversal of policy.
The big unions, which are out to
secure the complete repeal-nOt
revision-of the Taft-Hartley Bill,
are all for Mr.. Truman, and are
considering mass meetings in his
behalf.
From the political point of view
this could have an unfortunate eff
/ feet on Party unity. Close to half
of the Democrats in Congress vot-
ed to Overrule the veto of the labor
bill. Inasmuch as Mr.. Truman and
his floor leaders used every weap-
on at their command in an effort to
secure enough votes to sustain the
veto, that was severe defeat fol
the Administration. 1t is clear that
Mr.. Truman's grip on the reins Of
party control is not as firm as was
the late President Roosevelt's This
thought is a tonic to the Republi
cans, whose confidence of victory
next year has again entered bull
market phase.
Mr.. Truman's veto of the tai
bill was sustained, but the margin
was very clOse-the House voted tt
override, and he was upheld in thu
Senate by only a handful of votes
Furthermore, both within ant
without the Democratic Party
there is a strong feeling that hi
veto was based on the wron;
] grounds. He laid all the stress OF
the theory that the bill gave to-
much relief to high-income taxpay
ers and not enough, relief to tn
low-income groups-despite tn
very obvious fact that the tax in
creases put into effect prior to an

By GLENN D. HITLER

People who knew Jack Roberts
and understood him agreed that
he was a wonderful person. How
ever, people whose lives only
briefly touched him considered
Jack conceited, a snob, and little
weird.
Both groups had excellent
grounds for their opinions. Jack
had his own way of expressing
himself and he expressed himself
freely on all subjects. He was
brilliantly educated and often said
he wouldn't waste his time on
anyone who couldn't match his
wit.

The main trouble with people,
Jack contended, was that they
could not see beyond the tips OF
Their noses.

Law with Jack himself. 1t was a
situation beyond his control and
something none of us who knew
him well would want changed.
Simply: he was too lntelllgent.
Ordinary people. their outlookS
blinded by their petty woes, could
not keep pace with him. His mind
raced ahead of every converse
ton; he could recite astounding
facts as calmly as he might OBJ
serve the weather.

vote of appreciation of the gift of
the late Mrs. Kate Biting Rey-

Downward Trend On
Bond Mart

NEW YORK, Sept. 1o-(AP)-
Demand for a selected group of
rails countered downward trends
elsewhere in the bond market
today, including U. S. govern
ments.
Interest in carrier issues
heightened as hearings pro-
gressed on a request by the
carriers for higher freight rates
but this was not Immediately
translated into more active
trading.
Announcement that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission
had turned down an immediate
10 per cent boost in rates, asked
by the railroads, came after the
close Of trading.
Most observers agreed that
1CC would grant at least some
part of the railroad petition for
a total raise of about q per
cent but the 1CC announcement
indicated the hearings might
60 on for some time.
A major slice Of trading vol
ume was grabbed at higher
prices by issues of the Missouri
Pacific and New Haven systems.

Mopac issues advanced / IA

cult Court of Appeals reversed

court approving an 1CC reor-
ganization plan for the carrier.
The general As moved up 2 to

New Haven issues added
fractions to a point.
A hearing on an order di-
recting consumation of a reor-
ganization plan is scheduled for
tomorrow. The roads new 4 1-2s,
