CONGRESS:
adjourned

Embattled and fatigued, the 80th
congress nevertheless managed to
spew forth a batch of important
legislation with the relentlessness
of a doughnut machine before it
adjourned for the national political
conventions.
In the waning hours before ad-
iournment the dog-tired senators
and representatives pushed through
farm legislation and a peacetime
draft, together with bills having to
do with housing, displaced persons,
the atomic energy commission,
a of federal employees and
foreign aid appropriations.
Republican leaders made it ap-
parent that although congress had
adjourned its session the way was
being left open for it to reconvene
later this year.
Despite this, however, the Both
congress had run its formal course.
And that it was a vital, exciting
course and one that had produced
some momentous legislation no n
would gainsay. Partly responsible
for this character of congress, of
course, was the fact that President
Truman had written a record num-
Der of vetoes.
Some of the high points of con-
gress' record:
FOREIGN AID-Congress issued
billions for the support of Greece
and Turkey and for general foreign
relief, Gaping that by underwriting
the Marshall plan for world econo-
mic survival and revival and estab-
fishing the economic cooperation
administration as a further invest
ment in the future of 16 friendly
European nations.
NATIONAL DEFENSE-Aware of
the implications of the realistic for
eign policy the u. S. had begun to
follow, congress adopted a peace
time draft, demanded a "~70-group"
air force, appropriated funds to
modernize the army and navy, en-
acted a law to unity the armed
forces and created the atomic
energy commission.
HIGH PRICES-Congress ignored
President Truman's repeated and
insistent demands for authority to
control prices and wages and kept
to the classic Republican concep-
ton of "laissez faire" with regard
to business and industry. 1t re-
duced personal income taxes and
reduced the domestic budget by
two billion dollars.
L A o R-The Taft-Hartley law
was enacted over President Tru-
mans veto in an effort to curb
union excuses and restore a better
balance between labor and manage
ment. The minimum wage law,
growing constantly less useful as
prices and wages rose, was not re-
Vised.

DRAFTEES:
Back Again

With the peacetime draft a reality
in the U. S. again for the first time
since 1941 many thousands of young
men (19 through 25) are face to
face with the prospect of wearing
CT. clothing for 81 months.
Most of them were destined to
60 into the army, since the navy
and air force are scheduled to re-
ceive an extremely small percentage
of the drafteeS.
For those n~on-veteranS who want
ed to escape the draft there was at
least one reasonable method of do
ing establishment in the national
guard or reserves before the Presi-
dent signed the bill. And national
guard officers all over the country
reported that they were receiving
q most gratifying number of in
quiries from prospective enlistees.
Meanwhile, Gen. Omar N. Brad
ley, army chief of staff, reported
jovially that the army would try
to take on as many as 10000 draft
GSS q 1llOllIll QllQCl ll4C lCW dNb'
Selective service, he said, will
back our leadership in the world
and will strengthen our foreign
policy" That, certainly, was the
hope of most Americans, notwith-
standing the furious last-ditch efforts
of is%olationists in congress to block
passage of the draft law.
The chief of staff revealed that
at present there is only one domes-
tic army division up to full strength.
He said the draft and enlistments
will bring the army up from $4,000
to 100000.
Is there any immediate emergency
that must be met by a prepared
army force? Most authorities think
not, and General Bradley himself
soft-pedalled the idea.

Evidence of a recurrence of canni-

The government is imposing hard

that punishment as a threat to break

Democratic convention only days
away, with the Republicans
throwing political rocks at him,
with southern Democrats buster
ing against him and his policies
and with his own Democratic Or

about his prospects, President
Truman could be forgiven indeed
for having that "behind-the-eigh
