Action by Congress on His Plans
WouidMeet Crisis, Truman Says

when the Democrats were In con-
trol-and IN ls47-after the Re-
publicans had taken over.
He didn't list the measures he had
proposed. but apparently he had In
mind such things as his pleas for Z
quick start on universal military
training, for slower removal Of war
time economic controls ut home and
for keeping tax revenues high.
His letter closed with this para
graph:
Il hope you will put your shoulder
to the wheel and help get those
measures I asked for on the statute
books--that is the only way to meet
this situation"
Mr.. johnson fired back his reply
Yesterday. He said his understand
ing OF some war plant sales Is that
no provision Is made for recapture
Then he added:
"You say, Mr.. President, that you
hope I will put my shoulder to the
wheel
4 support the Marshall Plan
building the worlds best air corps
selective service and universal mill
tary training. My shoulder always
has been and always will be at the
wheel of preparedness.
TT Is difncult to accomplish pre-
paredness, however, when the wheel
Is pushed up hill one day and down
hill the next. World conditions re-
quire that we mobilize men, and we
must also mobilize plants and indus

PRESIDENTIAL timber

The race to be Mister Harassment
or the Worrying Man, otherwise
known as President of the United
States, is on. Everybody is coming
into the ring at the drop Of nat,
so to speak. The stewards may havs
. to divide it into two heats to pre-
vent overcrowding and piling up in
the stretch.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur is will
ing to 60 to the post. He is quite
man. George Washington threw
dollar across the Rappahannock but
Macarthur threw a brass hat across
the Pacific ocean.
General Macarthur offers him
self to the Republicans If they In
sist and it sounds little like o
reiteration Of his famous state
ment, 81 shall return" Anybody
who can wind up ruling Japan
after Corregidor is not to be dis
counted no matter how long or
difficult the road.
President Truman made the an
nouncement that he would like four
years more Of trials and tribulations
the same day MacArthur's word
came from Tokyo. In the last cou-
pie Of years Harry has been through
more fighting than Douglas.
Messrs. Dewey, Taft, Stassen,
Vandenburg and other COP hopefuls
took the entry of General Macarthur
with q show OF minimum concern
but no race is ever made any easier
by traffic congestion at the post.
General Ike, the Abilene Bear
cat, announced that he would not
be a candidate and added that he
did not see anything I'm the situa-
ton which required military man
to make . general headquarters of
the White House. Plainly MacAr-
thurs reply to this is, "Sez you!"
Democratic politicians are insist
Ing that if they could get Truman to
step out and get Ike to ride the don.
key it wouldn't make any difference
If the Republicans ran Macarthur,
Doolittle, Bradley, Spatz, Nimitz and
Halsey all on one ticket.
Could it come to pass that, with
General Macarthur seeing an excuse
for military man camping on the
Potomac, General Eisenhower might
be prevailed upon to change his
mind? We shall see what we shall
see, as the fellow said as he looked
into the wrong end of telescope.
But we hope the campaign will be
recognizable as a political contest
and not major military event.
