Right Never Tested.
The right of the President to
seize an industry under his So
called inherent" powers was de-
bated loudly in Congress last win
ter, and has never been tested.
Before the White House issued
its denial today, another official
close to the President declared Mr.
Truman had set no deadline and
had no plan at this time to act
in the strikes.
Evidently, the gentleman mis-
understood the President" he de-
clared. Because I talked to MIR.
Truman a half hour later and
found out he hadn't made any de-
cision to intervene, and hadn't
fixed a deadline."
Neither official was willing to
be identified publicly. and one
thing was clear-the talk of ap-
preaching presidential interven-

more difficult. All sides in both
the steel and coal strikes have
shown tendency to sit tight and
await presidential action rather
than attempt to iron out their
differences between themselves.

Mr.. Johnson's economy cutbacks.
On September 80 the Navy had
432, 1000 officers and men and the
Marine Corps $4,000.
The cutback is similar to that
being applied to the Army and
announced in a speech by Army
Secretary Gray in Montgomery
Ala, earlier this week. He said
the Army planned to offer dis
charges to 10000 men who enter
service under the draft law in
order to reduce its strength from
656.000 to 100000 by February.
Defense officials said that the
Navy and Marine Corps had
merely been told to adjust their
personnel plans" now so that they
would not come up at the end OF
the fiscal year with too many men
for the following fiscal period.
The Navy-M Marine Corps cut
back will be in both officers and
men. It is considered likely that
virtually all Reservists on active
duty will be moved to the inactive
lists as the cutbacks continue.

NEED1cAL RESEARCH INDICATES that the
lvl common cold is initially an allergic re.
sponse caused by the cold virus. What results
is an outpouring of histamine into the nasal
mucosa, producing the symptoms of cold
and weakening the natural defense against
infection by secondary bacterial invaders.
ANALYST is antihistamine, new drug dis
covery which combats histamine and helps
maintain your natural defense against the
common cold and its complications.
A recent clinical study has shown that, by
using ANALYST as directed, it is now possible
for the great majority Of people not only to
avoid most early cold symptoms but also
secondary complications, such as nasal con.
gestion, coughing, fever, muscular aches and
pains due to colds...and the danger of serious
ills which may result from neglected cold.

Tennessee Approves
Convention 10 Study
Constitution Revision
by the Associoted Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. o.
Tennesseans apparently have
voted by a thin margin to call a
convention which will consider
nine proposed changes in their 79-
year-old unamended State Con-
stitution.
Unofficial and almost complete
returns from yesterdays ballot
ing gave 59.252 votes in favor of
the proposed convention to 53,885
against.
This vote was tabulated from
1.763 precincts. There are 1890
precincts. but in several no bal
lots were cast. It was considered
unlikely that the votes yet to be
Tailed would alter the outcome.
Chattanooga Votes Wet.
The heavy outpouring of voters
in Hamilton County (Chatta-
nooga) made it certain that
county will remain wet. The un-
official vote was 1924 in favor
Of remaining wet to IA 800 against.
The apparent vote in favor of a
convention means Tennesseans
will elect 90 convention delegates
one for every State Representa-
tive-next April Is.
One of the principal revisions
recommended by an official Con-
stitution Revision Commission
would wipe out the poll tax.
Would Relax Tax Clause.
Another would relax the tax
clause to allow classification of
property for taxation and fixing
a different rate or valuation on
different classes of property.
A third would give municipali-
ties home rule-in place Of legis-
lative control Of their charters
and would allow cities and coun-
ties to merge part or all Of their
governmental functions.
There are six other recommend
ed changes. including a provision
which In itself would make easier
the amending or revision of con-
stitution which has resisted IL
previous efforts to change it.
