ucker Says That Presidents Legislative Program Depends Upon Support Senate
Aides Seek To Prevent Coalition
OF Republicans, Dixiecrats

win over to at least a majoritvs
of the White House proposals.
Their Importance in the sena-
torial household will give them
unusual power and prestige, both
as individuals and as representa-
tives of their respective states.
If they play their cards care
fully in the game, even the new.
comers will achieve a personal
fame and gain material advan-
tages for their constituents that.
would not fall to them other
wise.
They, too, realize that rarely
were the votes of so few men of
such prime Importance to a Pres
ident trying to make good on the
most handsome and revolu-
tionary batch of promises ever
made to an electorate.
QUARREL: The Democratic
members listed as moving back,
and forth in this dim and doubt
full twilight are as follows:
Broughton of North Carolina,
Johnston of South Carolina, Rus
sell of Georgia, Long and Ellen
der of Louisiana, Fulbright of
Arkansas, Gillette of Iowa and
Connally of Texas.
These men will be inclined to
support Mr.. Truman, if only be-
cause he is Democrat. On many
matters involving agricu IL.
ture, industry and social reforms
provided they are not too ex-
treme or antagonistic to state
control, they will be with him.
But they will fight bitterly his
Civil Rights proposals, and may
become so embittered in that
quarrel as to turn against him
generally.
Inasmuch as several are quite
friendly to private power inter-
ests, they may not be too enthus-.
iastic over proposed extension OF"
federal utility systems such as
IVA.
SUSCEPTIBLE: The Republi-
cans looked upon as most suscep-
tible to Barkley-Biffle advances
are the following:
Tobey of New Hampshire, AK
en- and Flanders of Vermont,
Lodge Of Massachusetts,, Bald
win of Connecticut, Ives of Newc
York, Vandenberg of Michigan"
and Knowland of California.
Most of these men have fire.
quently expressed the belief,
especially since the recent cleo
ton, that the COP must break
away from the conservative per-
sonalities and influences which
have governed it in the past.
Several have been advanced as
place of Senator Taft of Ohio.
Several have promised the ut-v
most cooperation to President
Truman.
CONTROL: With a difference
If five of the Democrats should
desert Mr.. Truman on a certain
issue, for instance, he might pick
up five offsetting votes from
the Republicans mentioned
above, or vice versa if the COP
ers do the disappearing act.
In short, this selected few WILL 9.

POWER: This extraordinarily
narrow margin of presidential
supremacy will exalt the status
of fifteen members divided
equally between the Republicans
and the Democrats. 1t is this
balance of-power group which
the Truman arrangers seek to
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-11-24
BY Ray Tucker

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-Pres-
iden Truman's smartest and
most diplomatic aides, head
ed by Vice President elect Bark
ley and Senate Liaison Officer
Leslie Biffle, are collaborating
on strategy designed to prevent
a coalition of Republicans and
so-called Dixiecrats in the cham
Der from stalemating he new
White House legislative pro-
gram.
Although their canvass of the
future membership diScloses
that the Administrator will have
stronger support than at any
time since Mr.. Truman assumed
the presidency, there is no as
surance yet that he can force
or wangle adoption of the broad
social and economic reforms
which he promised in the cam
paign.
BLOC: In the Eightieth Con-
gress there was reasonably
solid bloc of thirty-seven pro-
Truman Senators, most of whom
could be depended upon to back
him for personal or political con-
siderations. This group consist
ed of twenty-five northern, bord-
er and western Democrats, ten
relatively independent or varia-
BILE men from Dixie and two
Republicans.
AS against this band there
were fifty-nine who were always
inclined to oppose or to whittle
down his recommendations on
economic, social, industrial,
agricultural and even foreign
proposals. They numbered forty
nine conservative GOP-ers and
ten Democrats of the Dixiecrat
variety.
OPPOSITION: In the next Sem
ate Mr.. Truman can count on
about forty nine members, gain
of twelve over the number of
loyalists heretofore. These will
consist of thirty-four Democrats
through thick and thin, eleven
off f-and-on Southerners and four
Republicans. That roundup pro-
vides him with an extremely mar
row majority on controversial
questions.
The erstwhile opposition OF fif-
ty-nine will dwindle to forty-sev-
en-. This bloc will be made up
of thirty -eigh. Republicans and
nine Democrats who began to
wander off the White House re-
servation on most issues after
the court-packing episode and the
"purge" of 1888.
If there should ever be a uto-
plan alignment of conservatives
versus liberals in the United
States, these men would stand
on the far right of the Roose-
welt Truman position. Many Of
them had privately hoped for
Dewey victory.

Lead Recovery After
Early Unsett|ement
By Victor Eubonk
Assoeiated Press finaneiol Writer

NEW YORK, April 15.-Selected
steels, rails and oils led a recovery
shift in today's stock market after
considerable early unsettlement.
Dealings quickened on the revival.
While many pivotals were more or
less Indifferent, gains of fractions
to a point or so predominated near
the fourth hour.
Buying again was attributed
mainly to the outlook for big Gov
ernment spending at home and
abroad. Numerous customers, how
ever, held aloof to await the Ital-
ian elections and more light on
labor situations. A prop was pro-
vided by the Presidents disowning
of the Eccles proposals for new bank
credit curbs.
American Telephone was an iso--
lated strong spot in reflection of
earnings. Curtiss-Wright

Special Trains Bring
1000 Here 10 Attack
Policy on Palestine

Members of the United Commit
tee to Save the Jewish State and
the United Nations-an organiza-
ton with headquarters in New York
-converged on Washington today
to protest the United States re-
versal of policy on Palestine.
More than 1000 persons arrived
by special train from New York
shortly after noon today. They
started walking to the House and
Senate Once Buildings and the
Capitor Building in several large
groups, but were stopped several
blocks from the Capitol Grounds by
the police.
Police informed the committee
members that they could not carry
placards or display signs of any
sort on the grounds. After they
had thrown down the placards and
removed cards bearing the commit
tee name from their coats they were
allowed to proceed in groups OF 5
to 10.
Riot Squad Standing BY.
The committee, branded as Com
munist-inspired by several Jewish
organizations, then began calling on
members of Congress to present
their plea. AS they gathered in
the vicinity of the Capitol, the spe-
cial riot squad of the Metropolitan
Police Department was standing by
to assist Capitol police in case Of
any disturbance.
Spokesman for the group said
about 1000 were expected to come
to Washington today for the pill
grimage."
Rabbi Benjamin Schultz, execu-
tive director of the American Jew
ish League Against Communism,
said he sent kilograms to Govern
ment leaders warning against
taking seriously and Officially
treating with" the committee. He
said the group is "unrepresentative'
of either the Zionist movement OF
the Jewish people.
At a press conference yesterday
representatives of the committee
scoffed at the charges. Jules Paris
administrative secretary of the
committee, who is from New York
said:
Communists are participating
We say so In advance. So what?"
Denies Communism Issue.
He went on to say he was no,
advocating the Communist line, thai
the aim Of the committee was "onlJ
to aid the Jewish state" Com.
munism is not the issue, he added
and if its advocates chose to partici'
pate they were welcome.
Similar charges against the com.
mittee were made today by Brig
