Senator Lucas took cognizance
of this as he derided certain

To reach our goal of peace means

our international obligations"
1.-The facts demonstrate beyond
any doubt" he continued, that
the money we are putting into
the Marshall Plan does not go
into gravy or a give-away pro-
gram. The money goes into or

He went ON to cite industrial
expenditures in Illinois and added
that other millions were spent for
the products of Illinois farms.

Wherry Calls Truman
Negligent in Handling
Of Coal Situation

President Truman was charged
with "deplorable negligence" in
by Senate Republican Leader
his handling Of the coal situation
Wherry on his return to Washing
ton for the coming session Of
Congress.
Senate" Wherry said yesterday
the President had not used his full
power to restore full-time produc-
ton of coal: that he had refused
to invoke the provisions Of the
Taft-Hartley Act, apparently for
political reasons"
Senator Wherry also struck at
the present bipartisan foreign
policy, and demanded that ECA
appropriations at the coming ses-
sion of Congress be cut at least
$1.500, 100000 below the appropri-
atoms made by the first session of
the 81st Congress.
He challenged the administra-
ton forces to bring the anti
lynching bill before the Senate
during the first week of the ses-
sion, asserting that of all the civil
rights bill it was "the easiest to
get through the upper house"
Sees Industrial Emergency.
"All the administration and its
lieutenants in Congress have dome
on civil rights legislation" said
Wherry, "is just to talk about it,
promise, promise and promise. +"
Going further into the coal
situation, Senator Wherry said
the Presidents statement that
there is no emergency does not
square with statements that have
come to him.
1t is obvious" said Senator
Wherry, that the industrial pro-
ductivity of this country cannot
long continue in high gear on the
meager trickle Of soft coal that
Is now being mined.
Unless the President acts, and
acts forthrightly, there will be a
very serious industrial crisis with
in a few weeks"
Senator Wherry also demanded
that the Federal tax structure be
given thorough overimuling, and
that the wartime excise taxes be
repealed.
Urges Balanced Budget.
1.-THE people want the cost Of
Government cut drastically," he
said. And they want the budget
balanced. Instead of talking about
increasing taxes, to give the
spendthrift socialists more money
to squander. Congress should
bring the budget into balance by
cutting expenditures to fit the
cloth of revenue"
The foreign policy of the United
States. Senator Wherry said.

the people.
Before any line Of policy is
adopted by the administration"
he declared. lit should be pre-
sented to the people. The people
must have the facts, and given
the facts they will make the right
answer.
I'm foreign policy the Truman
administration has by-passed the
