Presidents Chilly Reception
Emphasizes Parties CIeoyuoe

Members Of Congress and specta-
tors who saw and heard President
Truman deliver his message to the
special session had one word today
to describe the reception he re-
ceived.
It was chilly"
The Presidents appearance before
10 hostile, Republican dominated
Congress to ask for imitation curbs
and other things emphasized the
widespread cleavage between the
two parties.
The only applause the President
received in the course of his speech
came from the Democrats The Re-
publicans, on their side Of the aisle
kept silent.
Even some Of the Democrats were
silent at times. They were the
Southerners who became as stony
faced as their Republican colleagues
when Mr.. Truman touched on the
explosive civil rights issue.
There was a ripple Of applause
throughout the spacious House
chamber when the President en-
tered. But little time was wasted
on formalities. Speaker Martin in
troduced Mr.. Truman in one short
sentence: "The chair presents the
President of the United States"

Lewis and u. 5. Given
Until Sept. 3 10 File Briefs
BY the Axxoeiotsd Press


Trial Exemainer William r. Ringer
OF the National Labor Relations
Board has given the Government
and John L. Lewis until September
8 to submit briefs in the Govern
ment's unfair labor practices move
against the United Mine Workers
leader.
The Governments charges arise
from the UMW's union shop agree
ment with soft coal operators. Mr..
Ringers action put off the chance
of a court showdown for months
or longer. Mr.. Ringer now can't
rach decision much before
October 1. That would delay a full
NLRB hearing until at least No
vember /, and many lawmakers
think Congress will amend the Taft
Hartley Act in January, If not
sooner.
The new coal contract carries over
the old union shop provision that
all miners must join the UNIV
within 80 days after entering
the pits.
Steel companies with soft coal
mines had objected to continuing
the arrangement on the ground that
it violated the Hartley Act.
The Government says it does, too.

thereby create the most embarrass-
ment for the Democrats.
Only seven Southern States still
have the poll tax as a voting pre-
requisite, but Southerners will fight
the bill on the ground that it woulo
be an entering wedge for Fedora
control OF State election machinery
The pending bill denies that any
poll tax is voting qualification.
terming it instead an "interfer-
ence."
Measure Has Passed House.
Presumably the Republican STRAIT
egists picked that as the first bill
because it is the only civil rights
measure that has passed the House
A watered- down version Of the anti
lynching bill, and a fair employ
ment practice measure also are on
the Senate calendar. But, unless
cloture can be invoked to halt a
poll tax filibuster, the session prob
ably will end before the other bills
are taken up.
Senate Minority Leader Barley,
whose stand in favor of adjourning
Congress last month is being used
against him now by Republicans,
made no comment last night on the
Republican plan to quit again be-
fore long. House Democratic Lead
er Rayburn is still in Texas.
One other House minority men,
ber said privately the Republican
strategy appeared To be to side
track the entire Truman program
by sending 1t into a Senate filibus-
ter, and then blame the Democrats.
He suggested this strategy may
'backfire on them in November"

Congress Asked 10 Probe
South Carolina JUDGE
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Representative Dorm, Democrat,
of South Carolina asked Congress
yesterday to investigate "the con-
duct in office" of Federal Judge ].
Waties Waring of the Eastern Dis
trict Of South Carolina.
Mr.. Dorm said Judge Warnings re-
cent ruling in Charleston that the
South Carolina Democratic Party
must enroll Negroes and grant them
full participation in party affairs
"is gross usurpation of the rights of
a party"
He said Judge Waring set the
date for enrolment on the party
books-even the hours. He has no
more right to do that than he does
to tell me to 60 to Sunday school
at IL o'clock instead of 10 O'Clock.
Under his ruling a Communist,
a Negro, a Fascist or Republican
could vote in the Democratic Party
Of South Carolina-all of which is
a violation of his authority as a
Judge. His ruling would not require
an oath or pledge at all to vote"
Mr.. Dorm introduced a resolution
In the House which went to the

Truman Program Hit
As Election Document
By Many Newspapers

President Truman's message to
Congress brought q sustained cry
OF politics" from a large section
Of the Nations press.
An Associated Press roundup of
editorial comment today disclosed
that many newspapers looked on
the Presidents program as a cam
paign document. There was SUBJ
stantial support for the low-cost
housing legislation he seeks, but
less sentiment for anti-inflation
controls, although the seriousness
of the situation was conceded gen.
orally.
In the South, where the President
has been having his troubles over
civil rights, his message generally
was well received.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, one of
the papers backing the President,
declared 'the issue of soaring prices
is one which calls for sober.
impartial study by the majority
leaders Of Congress and action to
give the Executive adequate power
to- deal with it."
Miami News Warns Congress.
In similar vein, the Miami Daily
News said the people want some
thing done on imitation, housing and
'other measures demanded by the
times" and warned Congress to
heed.
The New York Herald Tribune
found political motives clearly re-
flected in his message" but urged
"the passage of legislation which
will give Mr.. Truman the minimum
powers necessary to restrain inf1a-
ton If prices rise beyond an indi-
Gated level and real emergency
threatens before the new admins
tration can take over"
The New York Times called the
Presidents presentation Of the in
f1ation problem almost inexcusably
superficial and slipshou." 1t hoped
for action on the United Nations
headquarters loan; revision of dis
placed persons law; elimination of
discrimination in Government en-
ployes pay and building of a standby
steam plant for the TVA.
The Boston Herald was surprised
that Mr. Truman was not one of
those who learned during and after
the war that it is better to have
one pound of steak at 81 pound
than not to get any beef at all"
Other comment was
Cleveland Plain Dealer: We hope
the Republican leadership will be
willing to give his major recon-
mendations the consideration they
deserve
Election Burden Seen.
Boston Post: Unless Congress
tries to do something, it will carry
into the forthcoming election bur-
den not easy to explain away even
though not to blame for it."
Los Angeles Times: The Presi-
dents program falls as fiat as old
beer"
New York Daily News said the
President would fight imitation with
police State controls which would
discourage production
Baltimore Sun: The most strik-
ing and perhaps most shocking
thing about Mr. Truman's message
is its failure to mention the price
support program for farm commodi-
ties. 1t is the high cost Of
food, above everything else, that
the people are complaining about.
But you would never know it from
reading his speech"

of her husband. George Allen EN-

store manager, went into its second
day today in Shenandoah County
Circuit Court.
Mr.. Emmart was shot August 30
in his Strasburg drugstore several
hours after divorce papers had been
served on his estranged wife. He
formerly managed Peoples Drug.
store in Alexandria.
Frank Pangle, Strasburg police.
man, testified yesterday that Mrs.
Emmart dejectedly told him to
watch me. I may do something
bad" Twelve hours later when her
husband lay dead of pistol wounds,
he testified. she turned and re.
marked:
Il told you I was going TO do
something bad"
This something bad" the State

estrangement.
The story Of the actual shooting
was told by Raymond E. Borden, a
building contractor, who stood with
Mr. Emmart in the prescription de-
partment OF the drugstore when
Mrs Emmart entered. This, he
testified, was what occurred:
Mrs. Emmart, carrying handbag,
walked into the prescription room,
was greeted by her husband and
returned his greeting. While he
went on with his prescription filling.
she stepped into an adjoining store-
room.
She stepped out of the storeroom

pain and tried to get out of the
store. She followed and cried out,
II told you was going to shoot you"

Berlin
CONTINUED From First PAGE !

TO pay windows after hours of wait
ing Unless the Russians decide to
extend the exchange period, this
will be the case. Only two conclu-
sions can be drawn Either the Rus
slams don't want to pay everybody
and thus again reduce the amount
of money in circulation, or they
didn't realize what big task they
were facing and were unwittingly
unprepared to handle it."
Final Phase OF Reform.
The Russian note exchange was
proclaimed as the final phase of
their currency reform for Eastern
Germany and Berlin. When they
announced their program last Sat-
urday, the Russians asserted they
had no new money ready, so they
effected it by pasting distinguish
ing coupons on the old notes left
in circulation.
At one bank the exchange proc
ess was so slow that only 81 persons
received new money in two days.
Meanwhile Mayor Louise Schroe-
der defled an order from the Rus
sian commandant to fire her new
anti-Communist deputy police chief,
Johannes Stumm. The three West
ern commanders had advised her
the Russians had no authority to
order unilaterally the discharge of
Stumm. He replaced the Russian
trained Paul Markgraf, whom the
elected government fired earlier this
week.
The Western commanders also
advised Mayor Schroeder to reject
another Soviet move aimed at de-
stroying the city government and
placing all Berlin under Communist
control. They told her the Rus
slams have no authority to install
Paul LetSch as deputy head of the
city Food Department, one of the
major jobs in the city.
Walter Bedell Smith. American
Ambassador to Moscow, stopped
over a day in Berlin en- route to
Moscow. He may talk with Gen
Lucius D. Clay, the American mill
tary commander Gen. Smith was
in the diplomatic talks in London
at which the Western powers were
reported to have decided on
verbal approach to Foreign Minister
Molotov in Moscow over breaking
the Berlin blockade.
Russian controlled newspapers
told the Germans President Tru-
mans message to Congress yester-
day proves that the United States
is faced with economic collapse +"
The Communist press said Mr.. Tru-
mans plea for anti-inf1ation laws
meant the United States could not
support the European Recovery
Program.
Mayor Schroeder, grey and frail,
wrote Maj. Gen. Alexander Kotikov,
the Russian commandant for Berlin
she could not accept his contention
that Markgraf still holds Office as
Berlin police chief. Her government
suspended Markgraf for "undemo-
cratic and un-German actions" es-
pecially in allowing hundreds of
political kidnapings of Berliners
opposing the Communists. She said
she could not execute the Russian
order to dismiss Stumm because
that would violate the Berlin con-
stitution and would require approval
of the tfour-power) Allied Kom-
mandatura.' The Russians walked
out of the Kommandatura last
month.
To Russian assertions that the
dismissal of Markgraf split the city
