Said Representative John w
Mccormick, majority leader Of
the House:
The first session of the 8ls1
Congress has done remarkable
job, particularly under great dlfh'
culties. A much larger percentage
of President Truman's recommen-
dations got through than 1 hao
expected at the outset OF the ses-
sion. This is particularly true
when we realize the coalition that
exists, made up of opponents OF
the program.
"A Congress should and will be
appraised in it's accomplishments
at the end of second-year term
At the end of the 81st Congress
I predict it will have made an
unusual record"
Said Joseph w. Martin. jr., mi
nority leader of the House:
1.-The 81st Congress will go down
in history as a Congress which
promised much and did little
President Truman failed to get
his program through its first ses-
sion despite the fact he had a
93-strong majority in the House
and a majority of a dozen In the
Senate. 1t is doubtful that his
program for State socialism will
fare any better next year.
II am confident that when the
members go home and see the
people they won't warm up to Mr.
Truman's statism.
In my Is years in Congress
never saw such reckless spending
and apparently without the
slightest appreciation of what II
means to the solvency of the
Nation and the ultimate welfare
Of the people"
Foreign Affairs Record
In the field of foreign relations,
President Truman has been al
most uniformly successful in his
recommendations to Congress.
There is record of major accom-
plishment, looking toward peace
and national security. The ad-
ministration was fortunate in
having important Republican
support for these measures, lead
by Senator Arthur H. Vanden-
berg of Michigan and Represent
ative Eaton of New Jersey.
The difficulties to which Mr.
Mccormack referred and which
defeated or sidetracked important
Truman recommendations arose
over domestic problems.
Outstanding measures in the
field of foreign policy successfully
handled include the ratification
by the Senate of the North At
lantic security treaty. This is
virtually a 20-year military alli-
ance with the countries of West
ern Europe-against aggression.
1t Is obviously aimed to call a halt
to Soviet Russia's program to
communize the world; to say to
Russia that if she attacks any
of the countries signatory to the
treaty. she will have all the others
to fight, too. To help implement
this treaty. Congress, at the Pres
ident's insistence. has appropri-
ated approximately $1,000, 900 900
to be used for rearming our Allies.
This alliance is an entirely new
step for the United States foreign
policy, so far as Europe is con-
cerned, although our country has
entered into a very similar pact
with the republics of Latin
America.
The Congress has continued
support of the Marshall European
recovery plan. appropriating the

put more billions into Europe Ions
after the 1852 deadline for the
Marshall Plan. We can either give
over some of our postwar markets
to other nations, or go on paying
out huge sums to help those
nations.
Both European and American
economists here think it shoulo
be easy for the United States tt
buy what Europe must sell here.
Europe should sell goods worth
another $4,000, 100000 here. That's
in addition to the nearly $500. .000.-
900 worth of goods the Marshall
Plan nations will be selling here
this year.
That would be tremendous
| jump in European imports, but
"just peanuts" for us to buy, says
one economist, providing we keep
up good business, which is now
producing at the rate of $250,000,-
100000 a year"
A British spokesman pointed
out that Britain last year sold us
goods worth $3.50, 900; the
same year that just one of our big
business houses sold goods worth
$4,000, 100000.
But there are clouds on the no.
rizon.
Tariff Issue Revives
American business groups are
expected to put tremendous pres

ifs the minute they are hurt
Higher tariffs would boost the
price of European goods, and make
it more difficult for them to sci
here.
Europe itself could produce 8
stumbling block. Now that it,
money buys less in American
goods, Europe's costs will 60 ur
whenever they use American
goods, like wheat in bread, anc
like Virginia tobacco in cigarettes
Prices in Europe will rise. The
trade unions may demand more
pay.
William Adams Brown at the
Brookings Institution says we
should look for the first return OF
triangular trade"
He suggested one possible trade
triangle" - the United States,
Brazil and the United Kingdom.
| Here is what should happen in
that triangle if the world returns
to the old trade patterns: We
would always owe Brazil money
for the coffee we drink. Brazil
would always owe Britain money
for the machines it buys. Britain
would always owe us money fol
the raw materials and food ii
buys here.
The grease on the wheels would
lie in Brazil. They would earn
more dollars than they need. and
hence could pay Britain in dollars
Britain would earn dollars fol
sales in Brazil, but she could
spend the dollars here.
When and if triangles of that
sort develop again. we will be or
the road to the old world we
knew, in which no nation put out
billions to keep another nation
from starvation.

necessary billions of dollars for
that purpose. And it finally put
through the administration bill
extending the reciprocal trade
agreement system-although only
after a hard fight to retain in the
law the .so-called peril point"
provision designed to protect
American producers. This trade
agreement bill has its domestic
side since it deals entirely with
the American tariff duties. An
other measure seeking to aid
world recovery which was enacted
permits member banks OF the
Federal Reserve System to deal
in the securities of the Interna-
tional Bank for Reconstruction
and Development.
Still other steps taken by Con-
gress in the foreign field were
bills to extend for another year

ternational Children's Emergency
Fund, law for the payment OF

to contribute $16,000,000 to the
United Nations to aid the Arabs
and Jews displaced in the Pales-
tine war.
Domestic Side Different
The 81st Congress, however, has
been singularly deaf to some
OF President Truman's leading
recommendations on the domestic
side of the picture. He failed TO
get repeal Of the Taft-Hartley
labor lava major promise in his
campaign for election last fall. He
failed to get action on his proposal
for compulsory national health in
surance. The Brannan farm pro-
gram. which the administration
has been trying to sell to the
farmers and country ever since
last spring was defeated in the
House and in the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture. The Con-
gress fatty refused to consider
81 900, 100000 tax increase-the
Democratic leaders on finance OF
both the House and Senate turn
ing their backs on the Presidents
demand, on the ground that In
creased taxes might throw the
economy of the country into a tall
spin. Recommendations OF tho
President for authority to dictate
price and wage controls were
never considered in legislative
form.
Nor was Mr.. Truman able at
this session of Congress to obtain
passage of any of the civil rights
measures. This was due entirely
to the determined attitude OF
Democratic Senators from the
"solid South" Notwithstanding
the pleas of Democratic Senators
from Northern and Western States,
up for rejection next year, that
something be done without delay
to pass a Federal fair employment
practices bill-designed to elm
mate discrimination against Ne
groes and other minority groups
in the employment f1eld-the ad-
ministration leaders finally de-
cided to let the civil rights pro-
gram go over until the next session
of Congress. beginning January 8.
One step toward passage OF civil
rights legislation was taken, how
ever. The Senate cloture3 rule
designed to end debate was
amended so as to make it posi-
BILE to invoke cloture against
motion to take up bill. The fact
that in the past, under rulings Of
senate persiding officers, it was

millions of miserable novels. rural
shacks and city slums.
Over the years we Americans
have gradually cut down the pro-
portion of our money that we
spend on housing. In 1909 nearly
"a cents of each dollar We indi-
viduals spent went for housing
and utilities, heat, light, gas ano
water. BY 1910 We were spending
less than 18 cents of our consumer
dollar for housing and utilities
down one-fourth. This was still
the second largest item in oul
consumer budget; only food took
more of our money. BY 1860 the
share we are likely to pay out
for housing and utilities may be
down to about 16 cents out OF
each dollar we spend.
Bringing every American up to
a decent minimum or above would
require building 100000 new
houses and apartments and re-
pairing about 5,50o,000 others by
1860. In 1910 an estimated IL per
cent of our city homes and 81
per cent of our rural homes and
more than a third Of our farm
homes were in need of major re-
pairs. Carrying out this whole
program would mean spending

Development of new type OF
portable earth-shock detector-
described as capable of detecting
earthquakes and sufficiently pow
erful explosions over a world
wide range-was reported yester-
day.
Stanley Reed. president of Reed
Research, Inc. said seismographic
instruments of this type had been
developed for the military estab-
lishment just about a year ago.
He said they conceivably could
have been used as aids in detect
ing evidence of the atomic ex-
plosion" in Russia.
Shortly after President Tru-
man made the announcement
concerning the explosion, a top
level Government security officer
said we did not obtain the EVIL
dence by seismographic means.
Mr.. Reed said the new instru-
ments were so sensitive that they
could do this:
If a ring of them were placed
at various points around the
world at an average distance Of
10000 miles from the heart of
any country they could, under
certain conditions" detect and
locate to within 100 square miles
an explosion occurring in that
country if the explosion were of
the order of an atomic blast
that is, the equivalent of explod-
ing 10000 tons of INT. He didn't
amplify.
Can Pinpoint Blasts
Each individual instrument
could tell that such an explosion
had taken place, he said, but a
number of them would be required
to get the approximate location.
He offered no figure on the number
that would be required.
J. He added that the closer the
instruments were to the site Of a
blast, the more accurate would
be the "pinpointing" Of the loca-
ton. He said it would be possible
to "pinpoint" this area to a "few
square miles but of1eFd no figure
