Taft Warns COP
IN WASHINGTON

10Th in open sessions and behind
- closed doors of the caucus
room, Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio
told his colleagues in no uncertain
terms that the Republican party
is faced with extinction unless they
agree on a program of at least
limited social welfare legislation.
This of course includes such
fields as housing, medical care,
education and expansion of those
social welfare laws already on the
statute books such as old age PEN
sion, survivors insurance and the
various other governmental aids
for the needy. The Ohio senator
not only breaches this unity of pro-
gram, he has put his preachings
into practice by introducing bills
to cover what he declares will sup
port this kind of legislation without
destroying either the free enter
prise system or individual initiative.
Since Senator Taft imputes to the
Democratic administration meas
ures covering these subjects
complete socialistic trends, the
inference to be drawn is that
the senator stands for a limited
socialism and this fact causes shud-
ders of horror along the spines of
the party's arch conservatives who
are apparently in control, or hold
the balance of power in the Repub-
ican party today.
To any one here in Washington
who is watching the trend of legis-
lation, who is watching the trend
of elections, there can be no ques-
ton but that the people of the
United States are changing their
thinking along many lines. They
are changing their habits, ignoring
their precedents and traditions and
at the same time attempting to
maintain their freedoms under our
system of representative govern
ment.
There is no question in the mind
of this reporter that Senator Taft
is one of the ablest men in public
life today on either side of the
political fence. Whether Senator
Taft in his wisdom can espouse
limited socialism and draw a line
or reach a point at which socialism
stops, or at which he can satisfy
the great mass of the voters, re-
mains to be seen. In the meantime
the fight between the liberal ele-
ment in his party and the moderate
conservatives which he represents,
as against the arch-reactionaries in
the Republican party, has become
major topic for discussion here in
Washington.

New Authorities

as though the Missouri Valley au-

Still get together the refreshments.
Select a simple menu that can
be prepared in advance, and you'll
have the perfect answer to enter
tanning. A sandwich loaf and a
cooling punch bowl are easy enough
to serve. Make the sandwich loaf
the night before; get together the
ingredients for the cool drink and
refrigerate them, too. When serv-
ing time arrives you have simply
to bring things together.
For a youngsters party, serve
glamorized milk drinks and simple
cookies, baked in advance. Or,
give them sandwiches with the
beverage because these, too, may
be made in the morning for an
afternoon party, If they are

Truman On Job

President Truman's new policy of
"staying on the job" is paying div
idends with his relations with con-
gress. His vacation in Key West
proved disastrous. Since he re-
turned to Washington he has turned
down all invitations, has started
a round of consultations with his
leaders, pops up on Capitol Hill
for surprise luncheons and visits
with both Democrats and Repub-
licans. Result: whereas six weeks
ago it looked like he would again
be swamped by a hostile congress,
today he is on better terms than
at any time since he became Pres
ident and it begins to look as though
much of his program wis.,. 60

Care OF Floors

Question:: A few months ago
had all the floors sanded, filled
and vanished. | would like to
wash them but have been advised
not to use water, as it discolors
floors. Please advise.
Answer: The manufacturers of
hardwood flooring do not. as a
rule. approve of using water on
such flooring. AS your floors have
been so recently vanished. it
should be fairly easy to clean
them with some OF the special
cleaning preparations intended for
this purpose. Or you can clean
them by wiping with cloths damp
with turpentine. Consult your
hardware dealer. First take up the
loose dust in the usual way.

Tried Cole slaw sandwiches?
Mince the cabbage fine, and have
sufficient salad dressing in it to
moisten it for spreading. Add some
chopped bacon for flavor and
spread on whole wheat bread.
Mix ground leftover meat with
finely shredded carrots and chopped
hard-cooked eggs. Add enough
mayonnaise for easy spreading and
serve on rye bread.
Another filling that calls for Sec
onds uses crushed peanut brittle
with enough softened butter to make
a nice spread for sandwiches.

IVA Gets Fund

The 81st congress has reversed
the S0th on the steam plant for the
Tennessee Valley authority by push
ing through by almost two-to-one
vote an appropriation of 2.5 million
dollars to start construction of the
plant at New Johnsonville, Tenn.
This was rousing defeat for the
private power lobby. AS a matter
of fact the Truman administration
has won out on its power program
and interior department appropria-
tions at every stage thus far in the
congress. The interior department
appropriations bill was lush with
money for transmission lines, dams
and other constructions in contrast
to the ruthless prunings these items
received in the 8Oth congress.
