On the Other Hand
Independent Voters Would Like
To See Some Action by Congress
By Harry Honon

bearing the names Of a majority OF
the members of the House and that
number Of names appears to be
available.
It is difficult to see therefore how
the President can fail to get one OF
the measures for which he called
the special session, no matter what
cute strategy the Republican leaders
may cook up. Happily, 1t is meas
ure that OF itself justifies bringing
Congress back to town.
So the President Is not likely to
be discredited by anything this
special session does. But the Con-
gress may easily bring more dis
credit on itself. If this happens, the
Presidents slim chance of re-elec-
ton will be omewhat improved.
It may be that the Republican
leaders will see this; that they will
stop houndering around in the net
in which the President has caught
them and will get down to business.
Some millions of independent
voters will like them better If they
do.

publicans see eye to eye on few
issues, and are particularly divided
on economic questions, with the
Socialists contending for higher
wages and lower prices as an ac-
complishment they can utilize in the
forthcoming elections.
The Centrist and Moderate Right
parties are just as determined to
keep wage and price increases under
control in a desperate battle against
imitation, and as minister OF finance,
Paul Reynaud will bear the brunt
OF battle over the economic issues.
Weakens Hand of Allies.
French political vagaries have
always been more or less of dis
turbing element in European politi-
cal affairs, and it is so now. Coming
at a time when the Western Allies
are trying to decide on a policy
toward Russia and her expansion
ism in Germany, the French gov
eminent troubles inject an element
of instability which weakens the
hands of the powers with which
France is allied.
Some suspicion has arisen that
the recent change of government
was precipitated for the express
purpose of reorienting France away
from what to some of her leaders
began to appear like excessively
deep commitments on the German
question.
The issue on which Premier
Robert Schuman resigned was a
very small margin Of difference over
the size of the arms budget, with
the Socialists insisting on deeper
cuts than Mr.. Schuman was will
ing to make. When the crisis
came the area Of difference was so
small that it could possibly have
been bridged, If other considera-
tions had not intervened, as for
instance, a desire to put new per-
sonnel in charge of the govern
ment'S foreign pOlicy.

the excess profits tax, which the
President wants restored. But there
is not much political nourishment
in that for his opponents now that
he is admitting the mistake and
seeking to rectify it in the light
of the preposterous profits being
taken from the peoples pockets.
Or there are foolish things they
can say. such as the comment OF
Representative Leo r. Allen OF
Illinois:
His (the President'D attacks on
Congress have not been directed at
Republican policies. but at the
American institution Of representa-
tive government"
Bill Rests In Committee.
Mr.. Allen is chairman OF the
House Rules Committee. His quaint
conception of representative gov
ernment" Is illustrated by the pres
ent status of housing legislation.
There rests in his committee bill
to do all the President is asking
in the matter Of housing. 1t Is a
bill that has the conservative Sen
ator Taft for one of its authors. 1T
was passed by a decisive majority IN
the Senate, despite the bitter op-
position of the real estate lobby.
(They called Senator Taft. of all
people, a Communist" when they
ran out of argument0
This bill was held up in the House
Banking and Currency Committee
until the very last week Of the regu-
lar session. Then, to the surprise
of the committee chairman, Repre-
sentative Jesse P. Wolcott of Michi-
gan, a close vote caused it to be re-
ported favorably to the House.
Thereupon Mr.. Aliens notion OF
representative government came
into play.
His committee, the Rules Com
mittee, has the authority to say
what bills shall be put to a vote
in the House. It can keep a bill
from the floor, If it so desires, re-
gardless of the action of the stand
ing committee which has considered
and reported the bill. In the case
of this housing bill, however, the
Rules Committee agreed to permit
vote-on part Of the bill, the part
to which the real estate lobby did
not object!
Must Look Nice to Stain.
II that's representative govern
ment, it must LOOK nice to Josef

Thanks to President Truman this
need not be the end of the matter.

The Presidents plans for the In

ocrats are not attracting the kind of

President learned on his June tour

Keeps Plane Standing BY.
AS he has not the slightest in
tention of allowing anything to in
terfere with his efforts to get him
self reelected, he will keep his
plane standing by, in case. The
Independence is one of II transports,
officially described as special mission
aircraft, which the Military Air
Transport Service keeps for Gov
ernment and military officials.
MATS is responsible for mainte-
nance and operation; the costs
come out of the military budget.

! feels justified in taking any steps
to get his case before the country.
His theory is that the public won't
resent his use of his plane or al
lowance because he is trying to get
things done for them.
What is hardening the Presidents
spirit, according to his friends, is
not Republican attacks, which to
him are just politics, but the failure
of the Democrats to rally round. He
also meant it more than somewhat
when he spoke of labor's ingratitude.
After repeated invitations. CIO
President Murray finally called at
the White House last week, but
there appears little chance that an
aggressive CIO-PAC drive will be
launched to help the Truman bid.
The brutal fact is that CIO feels
Mr.. Truman's chances are nil, so 1T
will put its money into congress
sional contests.
Other Plans Misfire.
States like New York, Illinois and
Ohio claim that they are too
severely besieged locally by the WAL
lace Party to come to the aid of the
National Committee. The great loss
remains the South which, not need
ing either it's funds or its orators to
win local victories, made them avail
able for national use in other years.
National Committee plans to lure
some of the administration Wall
Streeters into financial posts in the
campaign seem also to have mis-
fired.
All this leaves the President very
much alone, and in this fact many
experienced Republicans see some
danger to Gov. Dewey. They do not
believe that the President can sell
himself as Mr. Fixit: they do fear
that he may create sympathy for
himself which will pay off at the

PETE GILMORE IS GIVEN NAVAL AWARD
 FOR 0KlNAWA DUTY

Word has been received in Ju- neau of naval unit commenda- tion to Lieut.. Peter F. Gilmore and his command for velor during the invasion and occupation of Okin- ava.
 The citation is for serving in the radar "pickst-lme' around Okin- ava from April to June 6, 1945.
 Gilmore, during the tense days of the battle of Okinawa, com manded a naval gunboat that oc- cupied ore of the fifteen positions in the picket line around the island During that time over l00 5iiips on similar duty were destroyed or were sufficiently damaged to be casualties of the engagement. Duty of Gilmore's ship included the de- struction of Japanese aircraft, res- cue Of survivors of destroyers and landing craft, defense against Kamikazi attacks and attacks by suicide boats and swimmers from the island proper
 Lieut.. Gilmore's newest award jcins two bronze stars received previously for operations against the enemy while on his three year duty with the navy in the Pacific.
 Like most men who were in the war, Gilmore has little to say about his war experiences except that "someday the story of the Okin- ava picket-line will be written, then you can read about it."
 Gilmore, who is manager of the Juneau office of the Alaska Salmon Industry, is the son oi Mrs. Mary

WILLIE PEP Iy KNOCKED

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-R-Willie Pep is all washed up after lcs- ing his featherweight champion ship to Sandy Saddler.
 That seems tc be the consensus following last nights stunning knockout win for Saddler, lean Harlem speedster, in 2.3S of the fourth round. Pep never looked the part of the fighter who had lost only once in 136 previous starts.
 Slow to move and an easy target for Saddler's fast left uppercuts, willy Willie went down and ou5 for the first time in his illustrious career. He had been on the deck twice before he took the full count by referee Ruby Goldstein.
 Saddler, up to new a prelim fighter in the Garden but main go boy elsewhere around the globe, was hitting faster and sharper than ever before i'll a local ring. All the way he carried the battle to the fading champ.
 Rumors of betting coup that sent the odds favoring Pep fluct- uating from l to down to to 2 and then back to l to at ring time, resulted in word of cau- ton from Commissioner Eddie Eagan at the noon weigh-in.
 With every contest we get lots of rumors," said Eagan, we don't believe any of them. You two are honest athletes We are holding you responsible to uphold the good name of boxing
