Senate Clash in Open
Temper and Difficulties of Lucas Rise
AS Wherry Enters Every Argument

Wherry for his ability to get
unanimous consent agreements
which are a priceless device for
getting the work Of the Senate ac-
compliShed. He seems TO have
unusual skill at hypnotizing his
colleagues into agreeing to stop
talking-a trait Senators are the
first TO praise He has an ad-
vantage over Senator Lucas there
too. because what Vice President
Barkley calls the woods colts-a

Senators-are on his side OF the

strategic position adjacent. to
Greece and Italy. the tension be-
tween Tito and the Cominform Is
of primary interest to Washing
ton and all Western European
governments.
The fact that Tito. whom Amer
lea and Britain established at the
expense of their loyal friend. Gen.
Draja Mikhailovich, betrayed
those who made him a powerful
figure is a matter Of little conse-
quence, in these days of interna-
tional opportunism.

While discounting rumors OF

that a real military force. COM

and units of the Communist In

to the spotlight President Truman

campaign and the pen-to-papeI
energy he released.
Another cause of the jitters Is
the general business situation
Members are plainly worried about
that. There's no easier and simpler
issue against anybody in office
than bad times. But what to do is

New Members Disillusioned.
Another disturbing influence is
the disillusionment among some
Of the new members-and there
are many freshmen in this House.
They came here fresh and eager to
get lots of things 'done-tomor-
row morning preferably-as new
members have since our govern
ment was founded, and have run
up against the delays and parlia-
mentary maneuvers and overall
confusion. This Is only normal. but
it adds to the filters in the House.
Significant Of all of this is the
fact that the pressure to shorten
the legislative program for this
first session comes largely from
the House leadership. The plan. as
previously revealed here. Is to con-
fine the social and economic well
fare program to a labor bill, wage
and-hour act extension, and hous-
ing. Social security expansion and
Federal aid to education would be
left to the next session probably
Health insurance would be aban-
doned for this session, and the
health program limited to hospi-
tai construction and medical edu-
cation. =
An analysis of the Democratic
party in the House shows 1t is
really divided into three groups
the right in the Southern conserv-
atives; the left In big city repre-
sentatives elected with labor sup
port, and a middle group which is
most numerous. All of this magni-
fies the problem Of leaders.

This Changing World
Tito's Troubles Seen Increasing Rapidly
Under Pressure of Cominform Agents

have been fomenting for some
time In Yugoslayia.
Tito has not been idle. His long
experience as a member of the
old Comintern and the Soviet
NKvD taught him how best to de-
fend himself. He has thoroughly
purged the ranks Of the OZNA
tYugoslav counterpart Of i. the
NKVD) and the army.
After these purges were COM
pleted. over a period Of nearly Q
year. Tito took steps to strengthen
his armed forces. This was not a
difncult job, since the Yugoslavs
and particularly the Serbs are ma
tionalists and were ready to bury
the hatchet. temporarily az least.
to defend the country against
foreigners.
Citizens Loyal TO Tito.
The few years Of amity between
Bulgaria. Hungary and Yugoslavia
on orders from Moscow, did not
wipe out traditional enmities be-
tween these neighboring countries.
Thus Tito, according to reports of
Western observers. can rely today
on the loyalty of an overwhelm-
ing number of his fellow citizens
in his stapd against both internal
and external attacks.
The rank and file of Yugoslavs.
who still believe In the power Of
the West, were not displeased
when Tito quietly let it be known
that since Russia and her satellites
refused him any further economic
cooperation, he was able to OBJ
tain the imports he needed from
the West.
Thus, today. when the lines are
tightening and the Cominform Is
ranging its forses into battle for
nation for a final showdown
against the man who dared defy
Moscow. Tito has sufficient power
at his disposal to meet the Soviet
bloc threat.
Since 1914 the world has seen
how comparatively minor squab-
bles can develop into world wars.
And there is no telling what might
develop from an armed clash be-
tween Cominform stooges on one
side and the rebellious Yugoslav
leader on the other. Tito is backed
by a courageous and highly effi-

man faction. 1t is majority OF
Senate Democrats, but 1t becomes
a majority of the Senate only as
1t can command the support OF
the Southerners and a few other
Democratic conservatives. This
group broke away on civil rights
and seems to be acquiring the
habit.
Senator Lucas can break into 1t
on most matters and he can
usually rely on ten to twelve Re
publican liberals. But 1t is touch
and 60 all the time; lately it has
been more often go and in an
anti Truman direction. The con-
sequent tension and insecurity
have combined to ruffle the some
what brittle Lucas temper.
Exploits Situation.
Across the aisle Senator Lucas is
confronted daily with the ebullient
Senator Wherry who naturally
feels no pain over these develop
ments. The complete extrovert,
always bustlfng and rarely bother
Ing with the niceties of etiquette.
Senator Wherry has been actively
exploiting the peculiar situation
which often makes him majority
leader in practical fact.
Senator Lucas has been heard
to complain that he can't an
nounce the order ofsthe day with
out an interruption from his op-
posite number on the other side
Yesterday. Senator Wherry. with
another Republican-Southern CO.
alition at his back, nonchalantly
confronted Senator Lucas with a
unanimous consent agreement to
limit ECA debate. To Senator
Lucas this represented an insult
ferable usurpation of the prerog-
atives of the majority leader: he
objected. 1t was against his own
interests but he did it and he's
glad.
Both Senators Lucas and Wherry
are new in their respective Jobs.
This is, so to speak. their shake
down cruise and they are only re-
flecting the unusual political
weather they are encountering.

haps will be found to have been
exaggerated.
: But, the Presidents long-fange
difficulty is likely to be at the other
side of the Capitol-in the House
AS has been the case now for
some years. President Truman
has been frustrated in the House
on his social and economic well
fare program as was Franklin D.
Roosevelt before HIM.
There is a simple rule of thumb
for this. For one thing, the winds
of national issues that blow in
national elections frequently dc
not penetrate into the Granny
which is a congressional district
Personalities and local issues often
are predominant. Sometimes. too
If there is general dissatisfaction
with the way things are going
voters are apt to devote more at
tention to getting an incumbent
thrown out than inquiring toe
closely about what they may be
getting in exchange.
Susceptible to Pressure.
For another thing, House
member usually is more susceptible
to pressure groups than a. Sena-
tor. Such groups can concentrate
more easily in a congressional dis
trict. In the area of a whole
State, which is a Senator's con-
stituency, their influence is likely
to be difftsed. The shorter tenure
Of House members also Is q fac
tor. The average House member
begins to run for reelection two
years away as soon as he takes
his seat and is constantly con-
scious that one or another pressure
group may provide that bloc ol
votes that may defeat him. He
Is most sensitive.
d survey Of the temper Of the
House just now yields some very
interesting symptoms bearing or
all of this.
It's temper is jittery. This Is due
in part, to one Of the most active
campaigns in history by pressure
groups of all sorts. both for the
Presidents program and against

WHAT IS THE MorIvEs

IL seems The Citizen has to retract
what II said recently about the s'get to-
gether" spirit between city and county
commissioners in naming trustees for the
Monroe>C County Hospital
The city contributes $4,000 annually
to the hospital fund and certainly should
have say" about the appointment of
trustees. but city officials assert that they
were not consulted by the county commits
sicners In naming the members Of the hos
pital's board of trustees.
City officials wish to point out that
they are not criticising all or any member
Of the board. bat maintain that. as the city
contributes $4,000 yearly toward the op-
GRAFTON Of the hospital. the city should be
given voice in the selection Of the board.
The Citizen does not know what mo-
tive aetuated majority Of the county COM
missioners to disregard the city commits
sioners entirely in selecting the trustees.
but whatever the motive is it shows poor
taste by the heads of the county govern
ment
Their action is equivalent to corpor-
atoms acting arbitrarily without the con-
sent of It's stockholders, something, of
course, no corporation attempts to do. One
county commissioner was outspoken in
declaring that he thought the action of his
fellow commissioners was unfortunate.
AS there should be some reason be-
hind every decision, The Citizen will be
pleased to have the commissioners who ap-
pointed the board explained to the people
of Key West what prompted the commits
sioners in choosing the board without con-
sulting the city commission.
Monroe County Hospital is decided
asset to the city and the county and its
functioning should not be hampered by
differences, petty or otherwise, between
the city and the county commissioners.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1949-06-17
CONSUMERS AND LOWER PRICES

There is one school of thought which
holds that the best way to bring prices
tumbling down is for consumers togo on
strike and buy nothing they can do with
out. That may have specifically. attrac-
tive sound. But here is what Professor NAL
colin p. NcNair, of the Harvard Graduate
School of Business Administration, has to
say about it: eff now, with the keen edge
taken off demand for durables, consumers
are going to stand off and wait for lower
prices, the lower prices will probably
come, but only as a result of severe eco
nomic dislocation, general unemployment,
sharp declines in consumer income, and
great damage to our economic and political
structure"
If a manufacturer finds that he can
not move his wares at the established price,
he will eventually dump them for what
ever he can get. But he will be wary about
making any more. He cuts his labor force
to the bone-and the total of the unem-
ployed rises.
On the retail level, much the same oe-
ours. A store can't afford to keep goods
on hand indefinitely. They must be moved
within a certain period of time, and if
necessary they will be sacrificed for much
less than they cost. But the retailer will
buy as little as he possibly can from then
on---and so, again, the whole economy is
adversely affected.
The welfare Of this country is based
upon mass production and mass distribu-
ton. Whether the general price level is
high or low. we usually get a good buy for
our money, Arbitrary consumer strikes
would create an infinitely greater eco
monte evil than the one they would attempt
10 cure.

somehow Grady Hueston had
made her see what a fool she was
to turn down the addition. And
now here he was, in Martina
house, the enormity of his loss
facing him for the first time.
He walked over to the piano,
ran his fingers seundlessly over
its keys, knowing that her touch
was still fresh upon it. 1t was the
closest he could get to her at the
moment.
What was the answer, he wori-
dered? Was this the end of that
splendid sparkling adventure up
on which they had embarked
such a few short weeks ago? He
recalled the afternoon he had
magic that had been between
them when they had needed no
words to express their ecstasy OF
heart. How, then, could they have
come to this? Where had he
failed along the way? He ac-
knowledged the stubborn pride
BY which he had been driven, but
failed to see where he could
