 Truman's 5 Message

LONDON, Jan. 6.-LR- Western Europe, most of it under Socialist control, today generally interpreted President Truman's st a e-of- the union message as evidence the United States will move further to the left
 And, generally it was pleased. The Communists were pleased, too-but for a different reason. They seized upon the chief executives program as propaganda to prove social and economic backwardness in the Unit ed States.
 AMERICAN WAY
 In Britain, however, the Indepen- dent-Liberal Manchester Guardian cited MT. Truman's program as an indication that socialism is not the only path for the left. Its goal might be called the insurance state, it's method the deliberate shortening of the odds against the weak, but without abandoning the basically iindividualist way of life which is accepted as characteristically Amer ican."
 POLITICAL DARING The London Evening Star. Lib eral paper also, said the President has surpassed Roosevelt's New Deal in scope and political daring" In western Germany the press took a similar line. The Frankfurt Neue Presse. Independent, said the United States lis converting itself from liberal to a social democracy for which the well-being of the masses is more important than the wealth of the few"
 In Berlin, wever, Russian | licensed newspapers reported the message under the headlines "Tru- man Wants Higher Taxes" and Truman Exposes Shocking Abus- es."
 They emphasized wha t they claimed was the Presidents con- i firmation of the low standard o1 living, lack of education, and capi- talistic exploitation of American workers-all three favorite themes in the Communist press.

STATEHOOD |5 NOT MENTIONED BY PRESIDENT
Delegate Bartlett Makes Statement = Regret Ex-
 pressed at Omission

SEATTLE, Jan. 6.-lR-A spe- cial Washington correspondent for the Times said today number of Congressmen from the far west expressed concern over the omis- sion from the Pres dents state of the union message on the direct plea for the speedy grant of state hood to Alaska and Hawaii,
 The President has made such a plea a part of all his former mes sages on the state of the union.
 E. L. Bartlett. Alaskan Delegate, said he was certain the President had not altered his position on state hood.
 MT. Truman did say he stands firmly behind his civil rights pro- gram, and Bartlett said this in- cludes statehood for Alaska.
 There was just too much to be included in detail in his message and as he has previously asked for statehood for Alaska there was no need in repeating that request sep arately," Bartlett said.
 The President, I am confident, is just as strongly in favor of state hood for our territory as he ever was. feel he will reiterats that feeling before long.
 The Times correspondent said Bartlett rushed from the floor at the conclusion of the President message to request an early ap- pointment at the White House.
 Senators Harry P. Cain tR-Wash) and William Knowland CR-Calif) expressed regret at the Presidents failure to stress statehood for both territorles. Rep. Henry M. Jackson O. Wash said he felt sure tho President omitted specific reference to territorial statehood as he omit. ted reference to veterans affairs ane development of the Columbia river only because those issues were part of blanks he discussed in general STATEHOOD CHANGES GOOD SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Jan. 6 Chapman, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, said to- day he thinks the chances of state- hood for Hawaii and Alaska are most favorable
 He told a news conference it was ross,tle Congress might act within the year. Chapman was here as a representative of the United States lat the inauguration of Governor Luis Munoz Marin.

 COM MENT
 ON MESSAGE
By The Associated Press)


 President Truman's State of the Union message to Congress yester- day has drawn varying response of sharp criticism and praise from cross section of American news papers.
 Sample editorial comment:
 Chicago Sun-Times: Economic democracy-an idea as old as America but one which de- mands new applications for the 2Oth century America-that is MT. Truman's message. We believe he has the people behind him in pro- claiming it."
 Rag Bag"
 New York Herald Tribune: MT. Truman's proposals do not total up to a consistent economic or social strategy, in terms either of the planned economy" or of the en- terprise system Moderate as it is in tone and at least superficially coordinated, it is still a 'rag-bag 1, message in the Truman tradition, and it's several parts will have to take their several chances unsup- ported by any single, consistent view of the issues of our times" Philadelphia Inquirer: Tt is req sonable to interpret this message ,oc an effort to rea SS,1re hIlsi- ness that there will be no reckless crack downs. No blows at the es- sense of our free enterprise sys- tenn"
 RuinOus Socialism Chicago Tribune: His legislative proposals are for the same ruin ous socialism that he advocated on the stump. -. there are enough intelligent members in the new Congress, it is fervently to be hop ' ed, to turn down most of Mir Tru-
 mans unsound proposals. It there are not, the people of the United States are in for bad two years"
 1 New York Times: We do not see eye-to-eye with the President l on the Taft-Hartley Act" or sup port of farm prices But these two points excepted-we find
 ourselves in agreement with the i purposes at which MT. Truman is aiming Better housing, bet ter health, better schools, broad CT social security, more areas re- ! claimed, as IVA has reclaimed ! one mammoth valley-surely all these are proper objectives :" ] Los Angeles Times: He has de- manded more of Congress than anybody could accomplish if it re- mained in continuous session throughout his four year term. :. i If Congress takes him at his word :. the nation is in for a tough and disturbing time"

GOVERNOR IS HOME AFTER
 TOUGH TRIP

Governor and Mrs. Ernest Gruen- ing got long ride for their mon- ey-much longer than they had any desire for.
 It's a safe bet no governor be- fore ever had such a tough time getting to a legislature he had called into spe cial-or any other kind-of session.
 The race against time started in the bright sunshine of Puerto Rico late Sunday night. It ended today in Juneau after running head-on into all the capricous ele- ments of Alaskan and Yukon win ter weather-fogs, show. ice, snow- slides and the old airmen's buga- boo of ceiling zero, visibility zero"
 Once, at dusk Wednesday, an Air Force plane, bringing the Gruenings, two legislators and half dozen other Juneau-bound passengers, was within a few miles of the airport. Snow clouds moved in like cur tain and the flight had to turn back for an emergency landing at Gustavus-five minutes before snow and clouds wrapped around that field to the northwest.
 The travel troubles started Tues day. Juneau la n d n g possibilities were scratched off at Seattle be- cause of snow-bound field. The Pan American DC-4 tried Annette. No luck. The big plane probed down through thick overcast to TOO feet. Still no sign of the ground below.
 So--it was off to Whitehorse. The party felt like selling out for a good dog team after checking prospects there.
 The best chance to get out on the back track to the capitol was the White Pass and Yukon Railway to Skagway.
 Sure, it would be accommodating to the governor It would move up train departure time to am. next morning.
 But a few hours later the w. P. & Y. R. learned that two snow slides had roared down onto its tracks taking out a mile of telegraph line aild covering the rails IS feet deep for as much as 300 feet in one of the spots,
 ct was not until a U. s. Air Force CAT landed the group at Gus tavus last night that they heard about new slide having taken a locomotive off the rail line they had figured they'd be travelling).
 AIR FORGE TO AID
 The Air Force plane was in Whitehorse by sheerest happen stance. It had been delayed two hours while seeking clearance for Canadian officer into Fairbanks That gave the Canadian army brig adler time to hear atout it. That set the wheels in motion.
 Crosswinds were so lad that Sen William Munz, the veteran Nome bush pilot, couldn't even wheel his Stinson two-engine plane out of the hangar
 Tt wouldn't last for two minutes in that wind" he remarked, as he and his wife joined tlie CAT passen- ger list. lMunz already had spent ia week trying to get from Seattle to Juneau.
 The air force boys took the CAT eff in rigid gusts that whipped powdered snow around the runway like an Oklahoma dust storm.
 After the buffeting the plane took on the flight, It. Victor Whittier the pilot, commented:
 Tt was the toughest flight ever made. The cross-wlnds were up to

 PROGRAM
Bulk of Presidents Pro- posaIs 10 Be Speeded
 Through Congress

WASHINGTON, Jan 6.-LR- Democratic leaders shrugged off Republican cries of socialism" to- day as they opened drive to rush the bulk of President Truman's welfare labor program through Congress.
 With the idea that the, first 100 days are the easiest, Administra- tion lieutenants charted swift &C., tion. They intend to have some of the wide range of White House proposals ripening into final form about the time MT. Truman takes the oath for full tour-year term January 20. F
 Senator Lucas eD-IlD, the up- coming majority leader in the Sem ate. keynoted the hurry-up re- frain sf}J
 The Senate, LnSas said, will proceed with all c6hvenient speed" Republicans saw threats of na- tional bankruptcy in the Truman spending proposals. They blasted the Presidents, idea for govern msnt-built steel plants as social ism" They bemoaned his failure to ask for any saJshgs in govern ment costs.
 Budget Message Monday
 The COP will get another crack at this latter subject Monday when MT. Truman submits to Congress a budget expected to reach $4l,- 900,0OO,O00 for the year beginning July l.
 But general Congressional re- action indicated that MT. Truman stands a good chance of getting many of the things he proposed yesterday in his personally-deliver- ed State of the Union message.
 Passage Predictions
 The chances for passage in some form looked good for:
 A tax increase, but possibly not the full $4,0OO,0OO,OOO he asked largely from big business) and in form that may salt Congress but not be fully pleasing to the Presi- dent.
 Hartley Labor Law repeal, with the modifications of the Wag- ner Act that MT. Truman suggest ed and possibly some others-in- cluding the Communist atfi- davit in some form.
 Economic controls, but possibly not the standby price-wage author ity or the steel-plant building pow CT he requested.
 Welfare Legislation
 Welfare legislation, such as aid to education, social security ex- pansion, housing and raising of the minimum wage level. His plan for prepaid medical insurance, how ever, remains in the doubtful class. Farm benefit changes, though there may be a fight over this which would cross party lines.
 Reciprocal trade agreements ex- tension. IN ~
 On "Doubtful' List
 On the doubtful" list lawmakers were placing MT. Truman's civil rights program, his appeal for uni versal military training, his pro- posal for Federal control of the tidelands, and his request-for the fifth time. he said-for authoriza- tion of the St. Lawrence seaway.
 Even without these, the prospects would point to a tremendous re- versal of the record of the Republi- can-controlled 8Oth Congress.
 Democratic leaders made it plain they intend to strike while the Truman popularity iron is hot. What trouble might arise as the months go on, no one profeSsed to know
