drew up an amendment to the rules
to make cloture applicable to "any
measure, motion or other matter
pending before the Senate" But be-
fore this change in the rules could
be acted on it probably would bring
on determined f1libuster.
Other subjects the administra-
ton may try to bring up include: {:
repeal or revision of the Taft-Hart-
ley Labor Act; an increase in the
Minimum Wage Law, and broader
coverage in the Social Security Act.
Although some action is possible
on the minimum wage rate and
minor changes in Social Security,
the Taft-Hartley Act is expected to
remain unchanged. The Democrats
probably would find division in their
own ranks on any effort to soften
the new labor act.
One Democrat in Congress, Sena-
tor OMahoney, of wyoming, is al
ready working on price control
bill. He is proceeding on the
theory that much can be done to
stabilize the price structure merely
by controlling proposed increases by
big corporations.
Cooling OF" Provided.
He is suggesting that the cooling
of" period which labor unions are
asked to take before striking be
applied to proposed price increases
by the major corporations. His bill
will provide that the price of a
basic commodity, 40 per cent or
more of the total annual output of
which is produced by so per cent or
less of all the producers, may not
be increased until 80 days have
elapsed and a public hearing by
the Federal Trade Commission on
the need for the increase.
Some of the Republicans already
here have indicated they want to see

to propose for dealing with the in

Truman message. And it may give
the Democrats their best issue, un.
less the Republicans come up with
a program of their own for curbine
imitation.
Truman Speech Awaited.
On the other hand, the Repuph.
cans will have an opportunity te
call up the civil rights program
and thereby emphasize the rift thai
program has caused between North
ern and Southern Democrats.
Although the Republican policy
makers of both houses will get to-
gether at the Capitol tomorrow, they
probably will adopt wait and see
attitude until Mr.. Truman reads his
message to a joint session of the
two branches in the House chamber
Tuesday.
The meetings of the House and
Senate tomorrow probably will be
confined to passage of the resolution
authorizing the Tuesday joint ses-
sion. AS one member put it yester-
day:
This is Mr.. Truman's show. It's
up to him to put on the first act.
Wen see who gets the applause be-
fore the curtain goes down"
Public interest is likely to center
around the imitation problem, but
any suggestions the President makes
on this subject will have to 60 to
House and Senate committees for
hearings and study.
COP. Action Possible.
Broadening of the displaced per-
sons law also would require commit
tee work in both houses.
The Senate, however, is in a posi-
ton to start the ball rolling at once
on the civil rights program, if COP
managers give the signal.
That body already has on its CAL
end, with favorable committee re-
ports, an anti-lynching bill, an anti
poll tax bill and fair employment
practice measure.
Before adjourning last month, the
Senate had passed and sent to the
House the long-range Taft t-Ellender-
Wagner housing bill and a broad
plan for Federal aid to education.
The housing bill is awaiting clear
ance from the House Rules Com
mittee, and when Congress adjourned
last month about 16O names had been
obtained on discharge petition to
force it to the floor. 1t takes 318
signatures to discharge a committee
from further consideration of a bill.
Fillibuster Is Seen.
If Senate leaders decided to call
up one of the civil rights bills, it un-
doubtedly would provoke a fill
buster by Southern Democrats.
The Southerners have demon
strated in the past their ability to
stave off Senate action indefinitely,
unless the leadership musters two
thirds to invoke the seldom used clo-
ture rule to limit debate. In accept
ing the Democratic nomination at
Philadelphia 10 days ago, President
Truman contended the Republicans
had the votes this year to apply clo-
ture.
There is one loop-hole in the
cloture rule, however, which veteran
Senate officials say might prevent
its application, even if the leaders
found they had the two thirds vote.
The loop-hole is ruling in Senate
precedents that cloture cannot be
applied to the process of amending
the journal of the previous days
proceedings, or to motion" as
distinguished from a bill. Before
bill can be considered there must
be motion to take it up.

|AssaiIs Communism
BY the Assosio.sd Press

E. LONDON. April 27.-The Arch
bishop Of Canterbury, DR.. Geofirey
Fisher, head of the Church of Eng
land, denounced communism last
night as a militant political sys-
tenn which, in denying God, de-
grades and enslaves man"
Writing in the Canterbury Dio-
cesar Notes. the archbishop said
communism, as social theory and
a philosophy. arose as a revolt
against the evils which the growth
OF industrialism introduced into the
social and economic order and
against the effects OF those evils
on humans.
There are some parts of the
world in which 1t appears to be
the only effective instrument
against corruptions which perpetu-
ate those evils" the arbishop said,
and many Christians in those parts
feel for that reason that it is per-
haps the lesser of two evils.
But in Europe we have to face
not social theory, but a militant
political system which. in denying
God, degrades and enslaves man;
and that system reveals itself in
its working as utterly hostile to the
basic principles of Christianity and
Of human life.
Because of its totalitarian claims,
1t must be resisted at every point"

The 4,900-tonner, at present the

This means, DR.. Lawrence said,
that much more potent mesons will
have to be made in the laboratories
before nuclear energy can be clearly
understood.
Nelson's are supposed to have
something to do with the great
force which holds protons and
neutrons together to form the
nuclei of atoms. However, they ap-
pear only in certain types of high
energy atomic disintegrations. What
they do in an intact nucleus, OF
whether they even exist as such in
nucleus, is unknown.
High-energy mesons from the
new cyclotron may yield the an

This will be DR.. Lawrence's fifth
cyclotron. The first, built in 1929,
established a new technique in atom
smashing. Subsequent cyclotrons
