CONGRESS CHALLENGES TRUMAN


Wisconsin is regarded as the top lawyer in
the Upper Chamber and that explains whv
ne was selected by the Senate as chairman
OF the Judiciary Committee. He CHALLENGES
the right OF President Truman to withhold
certain necessary information from the
Congress, particularly on Communist infI-
tratiOn in Government"
The Senator charges that 'this stalling.
IN effect, sabOtages Congressional machinery
=. The Founding Fathers of the COnstitu-
ClOn never contemplated that the three indie
pendent branches of Government would be
IN three alright compartments" The Wiley
statement was the first from a spokesman
Tor the Senate Judiciary Committee.
AttOney-General Tom Clark has refused
to turn over testimony and records that Con-
greSS asked fOr-acting, no doubt, on in
sCrucuOns from President Truman.
Chairman Ferguson of the Senate Expen-
dltureS subcommittee investigating Com
munlSt activities and Chairman RevercOnnb
OF the Senate Committee on Immigration and
Naturalization also denounced the refusal of
the Administration to furnish Congress dta
concerning alleged Subversive influences in
our country.
These three Senators hand stinging re-
Dukes to the Administration for refusing
cooperation and collaboration" with Con-
gress.
This political disturbance was started bv
the President. And so the Congress wants
TO create an investigation agency of it's own.
senator Wiley is being supported in calling
Tor an agency to be stated by investigators
trained by the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tlOn under j. Edgar Hoover. Good idea!
AS matter of fact leading Democrats
and Republicans in Congress are sore, be-
cause President Truman withhOlds informa-
tlOn from Congress concerning Communists
and their lnfiltratiOn into the affairs of the
American Government And it should be
perfectly plain to everyone that~this political
row was started by the President for his own
political benefit

WHO'S ANEMIC Now?
The movement for the Federal Govern
ment to subsidize thousands of rural and To-
Cal school districts and destroy local control
by school boards, is humping up against Op-
position 'crOss-the-brOad land
Evidently, a Commission" of the Uni
Verslty OF Chicago, backed by few organ
lzatiOns, is asking the Federal Government
to assume the responsibility of educating
millions of children of the country. These
folks seem to be high-hatters-th call dis
tT1ct schools "Undersized and anemic' Iiabili-
ties OF the National Government.
There are 100000 local units of school adj
mlnlstratiOn in the 48 States, of which 10
600 are in Illinois.
The educational experts" pretend to
show drastic waste in local school district or
CARNATIONS, and they outline what they call
essential steps towards improved school
districts" They OpiniOnate that "few of
these little schools do a good Job of teaching
the three RS" A casual examination into
the education of many of the greatest people
America ever produced, up to the present
time, shows that they came up from these
sO-caIIed "undersized and anemic' rural
school districts.
The Commission" that seeks to DESTROY
"underslzed and anemic" rural school dis
tr1cts makes the egOtistic claim that these
schools should not be regarded as a sacred
heritage"
Local school districts have not remained
anemc" through the years, and that is in
dlcated by the fact that school districts have
been raised to respectable size during recent
years.
Observe where the school bus goes. Good
roads and the school bus pick up school chill
dren over wide areas, taking them to cOnsOli-
dated district schools where the students
have the advantage of competent staffs of
teachers.
The parents of children, everywhere
should control their school organizations
and they would do we'll to disregard the adj
vice offered by the Chicago University.

many as in former days. Guess our folks
are thinking little straighter than usual. J.
