Program Prospects
by FRANK r. KENT.

Apparently the literary artists who
wrote Mr.. Truman's message for him
put in everything they could think of.
Certainly it bulged bigger with
recommendations and proposals than
any that can be recalled. But that
was natural enough, for Mr.. Truman,
in his campaign, promised more
things to more people than any presi-
Dental candidate ever heard of.
The question now is: How many
of these pledges is he really going to
try to redeem and how fully? Per-
haps they are wrong, but the belief
is strong among those close to him
that most Of his so-called program
will be adopted about as he wants it.
1t will not be, informed men say, 100
per cent. No President ever achieves
100 per cent, but it will not be too far
off. They also think it is going to be
done swiftly.
They base these convictions upon
the following: % His unexpected
victory plus the fact that he will be
President, in his own right, for four
years gives him a political prestige
and power in Congress he utterly
lacked before; (2) the Democrats
have the votes in both House and
Senate; (3) the committee chairmen
are nearly all Administration men
eager to aid; (4) the Democratic
leaders are far more closely in tune
with the White House than before;
ca Vice President Barley, as the
presiding officer of the Senate, and
the Presidents close and b | e
friend, Leslie Biffle, its secretary,
are an extraordinarily effective and
potent pair; (6) the Republicans are
not entirely united; CD resistance to
the spending, involved in most Of the
Truman proposals, has weakened;
90 on nearly everything, the labor
and farm Hobbies will cooperate and
support.
Undoubtedly, tins Is an Impressive
list. 1t would seem to mean that in q
fairly short time the Taft-Hartley
Act will be replaced by an utterly in
adequate substitute which gives no
protection to the national interests
and removes all curbs TO labor abuses;
the civil-rights program jammed
through, despite the fuliously pro-
testing South; the Social Security
System vastly expanded; the first
steps taken in the specialization Of
medicine; Federal housing and FEEDER
al education bills enacted. That is the
prospect, but, as the late Lew Dock
stader used to say, at just amt
necessarily So" There are a good
many things that can happen to make
this array Of reasons less formidable.

Calculations in regard to legislation,
such as are above presented, often
have a way Of falling apart.
For example, already there appears
slight rift in the harmony between
the President and the Go bosses,
though they violently opposed his
nomination and bitterly disparaged
him personally, now assume all the
credit for his election There is reason
to believe they have been demanding
a little too much of Mr.. Truman.
pressing him little too hard. And it
is encouraging to note that Mr.. Tru-
man is showing some slight signs Of
resentment. There is a possibility
here of break in the Administration
phaIanX that would affect results on
more than one issue. And, human
nature being what it is, there are
other possibilities.
However, it must be admitted the
odds favor the program and among
the presidential strategists confidence
in their ability to drive it through is
firm. In this connection it is interest
ing to note that no plan exists for
giving reality to the two most SEN
sational suggestions in the Truman
message: First, that the Government
put itself in position to engage in the
steel business sin event of emergen-
cy"; second, the so-called BOLD New
Plan for developing the backward
areas" of the world The first Of these
emanated from Mr.. Leon Keyserling,
left-wing member of the Presidents
Council of Economic Advisers. 1t does
not have the Endorsement of DR.. Ed
ward NOurse, president of the coun-
Gil, but was startling in that it seemed
q sudden move in the direction of the
naturalization of industry. 1t now
seems that there was no force behind
this suggestion; that it was intended.
perhaps, to brighten the United
States Steel Company and please the
CLOS Mr.. Murray, but otherwise is to
be allowed to lapse
As for the BOLD New Plan" full
credit for that noble notion is given
Nh. CLARK Clifford, close Missouri
friend Of Mr. Truman and counsel to
the President. According to synpa-
thetic liberal" columnists, the Bold
New Plan just seemed a good thing
to propose at the time and it did reap
considerable favorable publicity. But,
it is said, nothing will come of it
and nothing was meant to. Even the
elegant and eloquent explanations Of
Secretary of State Acheson leave the
idea in an extremely nebulous state.
It is not unusual for Presidents to
throw out in messages and addresses
grandiose and impractical ideas about
which they have no serious intention
or convictions. However, it is some
what unique to have two such ideas
in the same document.

Of them could not name three dis
ciples of Jesus; and ga per cent of
them could not name the four Cos
pels
Religion, we know does not con-
sist in a knowledge of names; yet
il is inconceivable that high school
pupil, properly instructed in the
rudiments of Christianity, should
score less than 1907 on the above
three questions.
Any youth of Is who has been
given a proper Christian training
should not only know the answers
to the above questions, but he
should also know what the Bible
says concerning sin, the deity of
Christ, the work of redemption,
Baptism, the Lords Supper, and a
dozen other fundamental facts of the
Christian faith.

Picture Indicts
Our Indifference
To Crime Conditions
By CharIes D. 80

II is not often that I am impelled
to comment on a picture at the To-
cal theatre but the urge to do so
came TO me as sat the first Of the
week and watched the unfolding Of
the plot in the excellent production,
Knock on Any Door"
The story told by this picture IS
stark tragedy. II portrayed the
gradual destruction of the character
and life of a young boy born into
all the squslor and vice TO be found
in the slums of any of our larger
cities. Poverty, squalid and sordid
environment, evil companions, all
joined to produce the certain down
fall of the young man whose life
was being portrayed First there
was petty thieving, then adventures
into larger scale burglaries, even
tually a term in a sub-human re-
form school, later marriage to an
innocent young girl, an attempt TO
60 straight for a time, difficulty
in holding jobs because of the bad
record behind him, finally a return
10 a criminal life that ends in the
murder Of a policem an and the cleo
trio chair for the young man.
The picture is a powerful indict-
ment Of the men and women of
today who permit such moral pest
holes and crime breeders as the
slums of our great cities. The plea
Of the defense attorney praying the
courts mercy in behalf of his young
client was a bitter condemnation of
an Indifferent society that sits
placidly by and thinks it is none
Of its business if others live in soul
crushing poverty and amid the most
sordid surroundings. The hush that
fell on the audience during that
dramatic moment was proof that
many person felt the awful truth
Of that Indictment
The sad and dangerous part Of
the vicious conditions portrayed in
this picture is that so many Of the
good" and respectable" and sub
stantial' people Of our cities, large
and small, are SO Indifferent to these
breeding grounds Of vice and human
tragedy Human greed is always
ready to help skim of the foul
cream Of wealth from such condi-
tions. Criminal groups are always
ready to fight to retain their hold
on. the earnings and lives of our
people And indifferent citizens are
apparently too often content to help
maintain such conditions or refuse
to oppose the criminal groups
Now and then right-thinking citi-
zens will make attempts to destroy
these vicious elements in our towns
and cities. Such an attempt now at |
