Il Is written in crumbling

once throbbed a song of

One hundred years ago this
was a busy kttle town in a
young and bustling land. It
boasted a forge, grist. cotton
and saw mills, stores and ho-
tells, and the wharf was alive
with the coming and going of
deep-water vessels.

which fishermen idly cast
their lines. Nearby are an
chored one or two motor
launches. and once or twice
a year the water Is stirred up
by the arrival of visiting
powerboat enthusiasts. The
towns promise of becoming a
great port died years ago,
when the river silted up and
big vessels could no longer
get up to the wharves.

Board, threatens a defeat for the
President. Mr.. wallgren, who was
defeated last November for re-
election as Governor. has been
challenged on the ground that ne
lacks the experience and knowl-
edge needed.
The Republican-Democratic CO.
alition which Mr.. Truman now
faces has grown with the passing
days. The principal reason is due
to the fight which administration
forces, backed by Mr.. Truman,
have made In the Senate, to force
a change in the rules Of that body
to bring about stronger cloture
rule with the civil rights program
in the background.
Perhaps an even greater blow to
the Truman prestige at the Capt.
tol was the revolt Of the House
against the ADMINISTRATIONS bill to
extend rent control. In the House
the margin of Democratic control
is very >wide-91 over the Repub-
licans and the one American
Labor member combined. Yet .
Evening star., 1949-03-20
President and Balky Congress

majority Of the House samenoeo
the rent control by adding a pro-
viso that States and municipalities
could throw out Federal rent con-
troll if they voted to do so In their
own governing bodies.
The entire membership Of the
House was elected on the same
day President Truman was elected.
It is the body which is regarded
as closest to the people. When 1t
kicks over the traces. there Is
something really wrong. With the
much closer margin Of control IN
the Senate, held by the Democrats,
it may be expected that the Tru-
man program will fare much worse
than in the House.
The President has threatened to
go to the country on a barnstorm-
ing tour in support OF his pro-
gram. The fact, of course, re-
mains that he was elected with a
minority Of the popular vote.
Whether he can prove, on such a
trip as he Is said to be contem-
plating, that a majority Of the
people favor the various items IN
the Truman program remains to
be seen. It will be an interesting
experiment in any case.

Goose Bay and Gander were

Newfoundland. because OF its
strategic location. was one OF
the most heavily defended
areas in North America.
Exploration of the mineral
resources of Newfoundland and
Labrador has barely scratched
the surface, experts say. Bell
Island exports about 100000
short tons of iron ore annually.
Rich new discoveries Of titan
ium and iron ore in Labrador
await exploitation. A new rail-
road LINK with the St. Lawrence
River has been proposed.
Only five towns in Newfound-
land have populations over
5000. The balance of popula-
ton is scattered through 1900
outposts and settlements. Few
of them house more than 500
people, and 80 per cent Of the
population hugs the east coast.
Labrador is sparsely settled,
with $500 people in the rough
and broken ,000-square-mile
area.
