BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Mar. 1.-THE Repub-

day COP candidates may base
their 1850 campaign on the issue
of an incompetent President"
who can get nothing from a
Congress controlled by his own
party.
Commenting that the 81st Con-

tive Hugh Scott, jr., said that
aside from extending some Re-
publican-passed laws-it has done
little but raise President Truman's
pay and give Federal bureau

inauguration.
"One must admit that In the
matter of improving Mr.. Truman's
personal privileges and tax ex-
emptions the present Congress
has worked with him as he prom
ised" Mr.. Scott said.
Mr.. Scott prepared his remarks
for a luncheon meeting sponsored
by the Massachusetts, Republi-
can State Committee.

He said the recent Senate fill
buster was brought about by ad-
ministration leaders as "a deceit

not to keep their promises OF a

to break a Southern talkathon,

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. II. -
Speculation on why the Russians
left the cruiser Milwaukee before
United States colors were raised
and reports of filthy conditions be-

the ship today as she moved up the
Delaware River to Philadelphia.
The Russians returned the 26-

Del. She was the first of 586 YES

Immediately.
After the ceremony, the freighter
Molotov which escorted the Mil

the Russians-departed for Rus

The ships transfer was delayed
IS days. A Navy spokesman said
much of the delay resulted from

brought on by high winds.
Not Necessarily Refusal.
The Russians hauled down the
hammer and sickle shortly before
pm. Then they promptly moved
of the Milwaukee onto the
Molotov.
Their transfer was completed
before the Americans raised the
Stars and Stripes. The Russians
thus did not have to salute the
American colors.

"It's strictly guess" he said.
He explained that the Soviets
were anxious to get aboard the
Molotov and back to Russia.
After all, he said, "they had
been delayed Is days"
The spokesman said that to his
knowledge there had never before
been such a ceremony in Ameri-

Elsewhere on the ship, they

this may have caused the odors.

Deal" Mr.. Ickes said: I've lived
through the Square Deal-that was
Theodore Roosevelt-and the New

good standard to raise"
Asked if he thought there will be
any way for you to help the Presi-

now a columnist, countered with,
Meaning what?" Then he added:
