10 DC III liilC
with the 1914 platform pledges OF
both parties.
Then the President asked Cong
ress to stop delaying action on leg
islation to increase the present min
imum wage and legislation to check
the rapid collapse Of the public
school system
Just politics on the Presidents
part, says House Leader Charles A.
Halleck of Indiana. Representative
Halleck didn't deny the necessity OF
doing something about social Sc
curity, minimum wages and edu-
cation. He simply called attention
to the fact that Congress is due to
adjourn in few weeks and
wouldn't have time to enact the de-
sired legislation. Therefore, the
President knowing this, was play
ing politics when he asked Congress
to act.
Why It Was Politics.
The inference, of course, is that
the President was proposing some
thing that would be popular. That's
why it was politics. If you should
suggest to Mr.. Halleck that it might
be even better politics to enact those
bills, you would know his answer
in advance. There isn't time, he'd
say.
How much time does it take to
do something the Republican lead
ers really want to do? Very little
time, indeed. They have tight,
smoothly functioning machine for
that purpose and have just given it
a public workout. Having decided
to destroy the effectiveness of the
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act
the measure whereby the great
damage done to world trade by the
Act is slowly being
repaired-they were able to carry
out their decision in practically no
time Without interfering with any

NEW YORK
CPRING CONES in Janu-
~ uary for more than $50
fashion editors who gather in
New York every year to report
the new styles for spring and
summer.
After viewing the creations
of outstanding American de-
signers who make up the Cou-
ture Group of the New York
Dress Institute the majority
of the editors have agreed
that the l948 spring fashions
will evoke little, If any, con-
troversy. The new clothes are
mostly modified versions Of
those which burst on the
fashion scene last fall.
To be sure there will be full
skirts, but not the voluminous
ones Of last season. And hem
lines seem to be stabilized at
13 inches for day wear.

Along the Potomac
to Washington
BY J. Glenn Beall

The House last week, hy q vote of
23l to ~, extended the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act for little
more than one yeal.-ol from june
18Th, 1913 to July list, 1910. At the
same time the Act was amended 50 as
to give the Tariff Commission q new
independent status and authority to
fY a ceiling and floor above or be-
low under which the President could
not negotiate tariff changes. The
President would also be required to
furnish the Tariff Commission with
items upon which tariff changes
negotiations were being conducted. I'll
the Tariff Commission and the Presi-
dent disagree. the President would
have to submit his recommendation
to Congress for approval or disap-
proval. Under the present law the
President can lower or raise tariff
under the Reciprocal Trade Program
by as much as fifty percent, in his
own discretion, without approval ~
either the Tariff Commission or Con-
grcss.
The "Noice of America" is under
fire again. Senator Capehart of In
diana last week read from series !
of radio scripts on the subject "Know
North America" as broadcast to
South America, as part of a Voice |
of America radio program which is
costing the taxpayers twenty-million |
dollars a year. The Latin Americas
We're told that New England was
found on Hypocrisy and that Texas !
was born in sin" Also that Nor
mons in Utah were using rubber !
hose or clubs to compel citizens to /,

come to a socialiZed state" As a re- !
suit Of the revelation President Pro |
tenn Of the Senate Vandenberg has
ordered the Ferguson Committee to |
conduct an investigation of the whole !
"Foice Of America activity while on
the House side Of the Capitol a sub /
committee, headed by Congressman
Chenoweth of Colorado. is conducting

Congressional leaders will make : /

for the Congress to adjourn on June
18th, Just two days before the Re /

1t seems Notwithstanding this week
Congress will convene at ten A. u.
each day except Sunday, with many
night sessions sure to he held.
Before Congress adjomns it seems
certain that some sort Of annual pay
increase for postal workers, probably
retroactive, will be approved The
pending House bin would give postal
employees pay boost Of $585.00 per
year, while a Senate measure would
give an $4,000 yearly pay increase.
