lnsurgent Republicans

Despite Sen. Robert Taft's power
full position as chairman of the COP
steering committee and of the con-
gressional joint economic commit
tee, he may find determined opposi-
ton to his stand against some of the
Presidents recommendations.
For instance, stocky, bald and be-
specialized Sen. Ralph Flanders of
Vermont, who has been called
Americas most. enlightened indus
trialist,' may oppose Taft's policies.
Senator Flanders, as chair
man of a subcommittee of the
joint economic committee, has
investigated prices and already
has declared 1--WE have not
found any alternative to some
measure of controls at least en-
the basic item of food"
Another insurgent against the Taft
leadership in the senate, this time
on the question of universal military
training, undoubtedly will develop
in the regular session. Taft is
staunchly opposed to UNIT.
But Sen. John Chandler Quincy of
South Dakota, otherwise a. party
regular, is supporting the admins
tration on this issue as he has on all
military matters.
The South Dakotan bellies his
militarism, for ne is short,
chunky and cherub-faced and
his friends call him "Chan."

The Russian embassy looks al
most deserted. ParadoXically. the
austere gray-stone building with its
magnificent ballroom and salons is
the former Pullman mansion, the
scene of many famous social events
in Washington history. Somehow at
taches of the embassy are not so
popular in Washington these days
and the embassy social calendar is
held to minimum. Again paradox
cally, the embassy is next door to
the lush University club.

need to have great artistic talent.
Anyone - even beginners - can
make lovely rug at home.
There are many types to choose from.
Hooked. braided, knitted, crocheted. tuft-
ed. woven. All of them can add an indi-
vtdual note to your home.
Braided and woven rugs lend a coy
air before the fireplace or next to your
bed. Navajo rugs with Indian designs are
perfect for a childs room and, if you
have Early American furniture. lowered
hooked rugs are particularly suitable.
Materials needn't cost you anything
more than a quick trip to the rag bag.
Old sacking, coarse linen. strips cut from
discarded clothing. blankets and sheets
plus dye for the colors you choose are
all you need.

board under congressional mandate
to eliminate all controls, the Presi-
dent was forced to take it or else.
But in signing the bill the Presi-
dent said:
"f it appears that all efforts
OF the government and the peo-
pie will not be enough under
present legislation, l shall have
no alternative but to call con-
gress back in special session to
strengthen the price control
laws and to enact such fiscal and
monetary legislation as we need
to save US from the threat of
economic disaster"
If congress has forgotten that
statement, how about the Presi-
dents first economic report of JAN
uary, 1947, and again in his mid
year economic report only last June.
In both reports he asked congress
to do something about imitation.
In the meantime, he has issued
numerous warnings urging business
and industry to bring prices down to
ward off the constant spiral of infla-
tionary prices. If the President put
congress on the political spot in his
message to the special session, he
most certainly did so in June, 1916,
in January, 1947, and again in June,
1947. The President hit raw spot
because, as with most of US, con-
gress does not like to be reminded
of its sins of omission.
