President Truman has had his
first extended closeup OF what
the postwar Army is doing-and
he likes what he saw.
In a half-dozen crowded hours
at Fort Bragg, N. c., yesterday,
Mr.. Truman, one-time artillery
captain, witnessed a thrilling dis
play by picked men OF the SD
Airborne Division. tumbling from
the sky in Stimulating establish
ment of an airhead to beat off an
enemy invading force; reviewed
a turnout of 10000 troops and in
spected some secret artillery de-
velopments. which, generally, in
volved weapon reflnements.
The show brought repeated ex-
pressions of appreciation from the
President, and with them, a rather
rueful recognition of Mayfair
Force pickering.
Compliments Army.
Speaking at luncheon of top
Army officials as he moved through
the program, the President COM
plimented them on the progress
evidenced, then concluded:
II am going back to Washing

mind, and I hope when the Navy
and Air Force get all their troubles
settled, that the Army. as usual
will 70 along and make its way" !"
Mr.. Truman flew back here
shortly after S pm. yesterday.
Rif1emen and machine gunners
with radio equipment, jeeps and
big 105-mm. howitzers with their
ammunition and manning forces
were dropped in front of the
President by rumbling cargo
carriers making 120 miles an hour
in illustrating how an airhead is
established.
Gliders carrying troops and
jeeps were thrown onto the field
at the climax, as the guns were
assembled and went into action.
Between TOO and 800 men
jumped-at one time there were
$50 in the air-and there were but
three minor casualties reported.
TwWo men received treatment on
the field and went right back on
duty.
Another was hospitalized with

Parents Await Tests
To Identify Babies
In Hospital Mixup
By the Assoeiofsd Press

RAVENNA, Ohio, Oct. 5.-TWo
babies were back at Robinson Me-
mortal Hospital today, while au-
thorities attempted to determine
who their parents are.
An Akron pathologist was max
ing blood tests of two sets of par
ents, and an unidentified nurse
was suspended by the hospital
pening an investigation.
1t all started September 81.
Mrs. j. P. Stanley and Mrs. Rob-
ert Strayer, both of Kent. shared
the same room at the hospital
and each had a baby within a few
hours of the other.
After the baby boys had gone
home, DR.. Edward Meacham of
Kent. who had delivered both
children, called at the Stanley
home to examine the baby.
Scratch Gives Clue.
He said he found a scratch on
the blond youngsters chin and a
tiny bump on the back of his
head. That indicated an instru-
ment delivery to the doctor, who
recalled the Schanley child had
not been instrument-delivered,
while the Strayer youngster had
been.
DR.. Meacham decided an exami-
nation was called for. He turned
to Thomas Hunston. hospital
superintendent. A pathologist
was called in. If the parents have
different types of blood, he'll be
able to tell which child belongs
to which parents.
Supt. Hunston said he ex-
poets to have the children posi-
lively identified by tomorrow.
Mrs. Stanley, who has two
other children however, said she
isn't so sure the blood tests will
work.
Baptism Called Of.
"We may all have the same
blood type" she explained as she
announced that she had retained
a lawyer to determine her rights.
She blamed the nurse, but said
she was willing to swap her blond
lad if he is not hers.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Strayer,
meanwhile. called off the baptism
of the black haired Michael
until they are sure he belongs to
them.
We'll never feel right about it
now" Mrs. Strayer. 20, said. It
was her first child.
Mrs. Stanley already has James,

Wider Social Security
To Pass House Today,
Rayburn Predicts

Speaker Rayburn predicted to-
day the House will pass over
whelmingly. possibly within few
hours, legislation putting 11,000,-
900 more workers under old age
insurance. The newcomers would
include the banker. the baker,
grocers, household servants and
public employees.
Democratic leaders called the
House to meet two hours earlier
than usual to ram the measure
through. The Senate is not eX-
pected to act until January at the
earliest.
The bill, while expanding cover
age, would boost old-age and sur
vivors benefits by 70 to 80 per
cent. create new disability insur-
ance and increase payroll taxes to
finance the broadened program.
1t might mean the institution
of stamp book plan for 100000
servants and their housewife en-
ployers, to pay the security taxes.
President Truman asked Con-
gress to put 100000 more per-
sons under old-age insurance. But
the bill does not include millions
of farm operators and farmhands.
Some of its sponsors said farmers
did not appear especially anxious
to get it.
Wins First Major Test.
The legislation won it's first ma
jor test yesterday. The House,
over Republican shouts of gag
rule" voted. 189 to 1875, to bar
any amendments. Then, although
procedures allow four days of de-
bate, a bipartisan drive devel-
oped-with Congress adjournment
in the air-for a final vote on
the bill late today.
The Republicans offered a sub
stitute bill. but some top party
members let it be known they
have little if any hope that it will
pass.
Representative Kean. Repub-
lican, of New Jersey. author of
the bill, said it would put 100000
more persons under social secur-
ity than the administration-spon-
sored measure, and ultimately
would cost ,250,O00,0O0 year
less.
It resembles the administration
measure, but proposes a slower
boost in taxes and would eliminate
the proposed new insurance for
workers who become totally and
permanently disabled. Mr.. Kean
said the public assistance program
can care for the disabled at lower
cost.
May Lessen Pension Demands.
Some sponsors of the admins
tration bill said this expansion of
the Governments program may
lessen demands by some labor
groups for special pension plans
financed wholly by employers.
Workers and their employers
equally share the cost of the Fed
eral program, through payroll
levies.
Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee. in opening debate for the bill,
told. the House it confronts this
question:
"Whether the insurance pro-
gram of the social security system
can be strengthened and rein
forced against the assaults of
proponents of general old-age pen
sionS out of the Federal Treasury,
and against the challenge of the
private retirement plans financed
solely by the employer"
Earlier the Ways and Means
Committee issued a report voicing
concern that such private plans
might endanger the Federal pro-
gram.
