 FOR SESSION
Special Message, Perhaps Several, Will Be Given
 to Extra Congress

WASHINGTON, July l5.-lR- President Truman today formally called the Republican controlled Congress into special session at noon on Monday. July 26
 MT. Truman's proclamation call ing the legislators back to Wash ington came only l2 hours after he had announced he would do so at the Democratic National Conven- ton in Philadelphia.
 Following up his decision, an- nounced as he accepted the Demo- cratic Presidential nomination, MT Truman's call said "an extraordi- nary occasion requires reconven- ing of the 80th Congress.
 The brief proclamation did not formally outline reasons for the call. The President merely direct ed the members to assemble ito receive such communication as may be made by the executive"
 MT. Truman said in his Phila- delphia address that he would ask the lawmakers to act on anti imitation and housing legislation He also said he would recommend that Congress pass civil rights legislation.
 Still other measures on which 11a ,,,o,, raoor,yoa,,J ac+;o,, i,, ono or more special messages are fed eral aid to education and broad ened Social Security coverage.
 Presidential Secretary Charles c. Ross said the President had only a brief three-hour nap before meeting his aides, since he did not return to Washington from Phila- delphia until early today.
 The President has been think ing about the need for a special session for a good while" Ross said.
 The President will deliver at least one, and perhaps additional special messages to the lawmak- CTS.
 Presumably these will deal with price controls, housing, federal aic to education, broadened Social Se- curity and -ether issues which he told the convention the "eightieth worst Congress neglected in its regular session.
 The July 26 date for conven- ing Congress is known in Missouri as "turnip day"-a good time fol sowing turnip seeds for harvesting later in the year, MT. Truman ex- plained.

 Appearing with Gaffney on an open forum called by the Civic Affairs Committee of the Junior Chamber of Commerce were Mayor Ray Kchler, U. s. Attorney Harry o. Arend, and Chief Deputy Mar shal Jack Buckley.
 All three said lax law enforce ment resulted from "lethargy and disinterest" of citizens.
 Buckley said Federal Marshals are not authorized to act as police officers, but merely serve warrants and make arrests on filed com plaints. He said in 29 years as a deputy he never had an appro- priation to buy a vehicle for the marshals office. Buckley explain ed his office was on a 40-hour week and any public services per- formed beyond that limit were on employees own time and without pay.

Forest Service, U. s. Geological Survey, the International Boundary Commission and the American Geo. logical Society.
 Commander Pollock pointed out that the photographs are being made from an altitude of 10000 feet which means that weather must te clear with no clouds or haze below that height. He said that there had been only about eight such days since June suitable for perfect photographic purposes
 Commander Pollock visited Ju- neau briefly yesterday and confer red with Charles G. Burdick, As sistant Regional Forester, over Forest Service requirements on the pictures. The Forest Service photos will be used to count the number of trees in the area. Commander Pollock, flying a new Lockheed Neptune Navy bomber, left late for Annette Island.

 Challenges Republicans
 Some of the members of my own party disagree violently on this matter but they stand up and do it openly. People can tell where we stand The Republicans all profess to be for these matters, but the 80th Congress failed to act.
 They had enough men and they had cloture Ia rule under which Senate debate can be gagged to shut eff a filibuster). There were enough people that would vote for cloture."
