The Presidents Speech

President Truman on last
Mond =, in line with the man
date of the Constitution, made
his State of the Union speech to
the joint assembly of the Con
gress. The President was in
fine fettle and it is generally
conceded that he handled him
self better than al any time he
has appeared before the Con-
gress. While it might well have
been expected that he would
receive q cold shoulder from a
Republican = dominated Con
gress, he had not gone far in
his speech before he had his
audience in a good humor and,
on the whole, responsive mood.
His address was a statesman
like one. So far as we are
personally concerned it was
very gratifying on the whole
because it contained many of
the recommendations which our
Postwar Economic Policy Com
mittee had made as a result of
its three years of study of post
war America.

ment when they come before

mittee.
Req. Roger c. Slaughter CD
of Missouri has heard that the
discovery of the atomic bomb
was an offshoot of an attempt
to develop atomic energy fuel
for baitleships.
The MisSourian says il has
been reported to him by various
sources that the Navy originally
began the wartime atomic ex-
periments while searching for
a rev cheap fuel. He explains:
Navy people believed they
could run a battleship for per-
haps a month on a small amount
of atomic power. if it could
be produced"
The congressman added that
he did not know whether the
report was true.

Capital

BY CONGRESSMAN
w. M. COLMER
Republicans In Power

After fourteen years the Re
public3ns have come into alb
solute control of the Congress-
They have under the fortunes
of politics taken over and pref
ty well dominate all committee
assignments and have the pow
er as a result of last November's
elections to control the entire
legislative policy of the Con-
gress. They have, as was ex-
pected, taken over all of the pat
ronage here on the Hill. With
an eye on the presidency they
are in an optimistic mood. And
while they have shown every
evidence that they expect to
run the show, there are indica.
tlons already prevalent tina.
they = beginning TO realize
that 1t is one thing - be in the
minority and critical OF every
thing the administration does
and another thing ia have the
responsibility of running such
a big thing as our American
government. So far they are
enjoying their new-found po-
sition but are beginning to real
ize their responsibilities. 1t is
goins to be a very difficult mat
ter for Democrats to sponsor
and enact their own bills, but
the Democrats in Congress, |
am sure, will be strong enough
to WELD a powerful and often
veto force on proposed legisla-
ton.

LIBERTY, Mo. (P)-Her physi- clan ordered her to bed for what he termed a "well-earned rest" to- day but petite Mrs. Theda Pearson f'etted to be about my house. work" after the unattended birth of premature twin daughters.
 The 24-year-old, 100-pound wife of north Kansas City laborer, Walter Pearson, 46, delivered her self of the infants in the living room of their farm home near here late Thursday afternoon.
 When the husband returned from work he found his wife sit ting on a daybed in the living room peeling potatoes for supper, the twins, Carolyn Sue, five pounds and Marilyn Lou, 315 pounds, wrapped in blankets beside her. They had been born two hours pre- viously.
 Pearson was met by his two sons who told him as he approached the house, "We got a lot of little sis ters."
 The father called pr. C. M. Smith of Liberty, who examined the mother and twins. "You did a good job," he said.
 Said she: That second baby surely was surprise"
 The twins were given a good chance of survival.
