Senator Taft told newspaper reporter that minority
leaders have responsibility for presenting program
Their role is of opposition and criticism. "
What Taft is saying is that he as Minority Leader of
the Senate doesn't give hang about program that all he
wants to do is carp and criticize.
Taft further said: "As far the dayto-day operation
in the Senate concerned don't think minority party has
to pursue party policy"
In other words, he doesn't have pocy-nor do his fol-
lowers such Hickenlooper Donne Mikin and Wiley.
And still further the eminent Buckeye says: Economy
itself not very appealing political platform Cutting the
deficit is a better one"
That, doubt interesting to Joe Martin,
COP Chairman Gabrieson Harry Byrd Styles Bridges and
other ''ecOnomiZers.
What Taft is telling here is this: can't point out
where economies be made just wanta shout Cut the
debtp Don't ask me if we should spend less social
curty housing, defense flood control Just ask
if wanta cut the debt.
So, in effect Mr. Taft implies that he will base his
paign for reelection this jabbng ut the Fair Deal
and blaming den0uncng and condemnng every direction.

Small Minority Yields Veto Power In N. ].

Things tough in your state? Look at what New
Jersey citizens face The political machine has fixed it so
representatives of per cent of the voters have veto power
over the wishes of the other 81 per cent.
Here is how it works according to the March issue OF
the National Municipal Review:
"The New Jersey Senate consists of 21 members,
elected from each county regardless of size There Ia
Republicans and Democratic senator's Passage of bills and
confirmation Of appointments require II votes, majority
of the whole number of senator's Under the sefmpoSed
rule of the Republican senators bill can be re-
ported to the floor of the Senate by committee unless
leased by affirmative vote of eleven Republican senators in
secret This that no bill nomination by
the opposed by four Republican senators be
acted the Senate The Democrats and dissenting
Republicans, possibly 10 of them (or total of I'D simply
don't count.
"In view of the wide variations in the populations of
the counties Is per cent of the people elect majority of
the senator's The effect of the rule this year is to
enable four Republican senators representing counties with
about per cent of the population to veto any action how
strong the support may be from the governor the As
sembly majority of the Senate.
"Of course drastic veto power has negative
Importance AS bargaining weapon it enables the minority
force the governor and majority of it's colleagues to go
along appointments it wants the price for
withholding the veto on other vital matters :"

A Little Speed. Please

We're inclined to go along with liberal friend of ours
who sad "Not bad but not outstanding when asked what
he thought about the record Congress made during its last
session
feel that Congress hasn't been doing good this
yeartha s good from the standpoint of those who favor
Fair Deal legislation
1t won't be very long before Congressman and Senators
head back home to participate in that biennial sport known
as trying to get reelected.
The Republicans to have figured out their cam
pagn strategy They'll make the most of the phony Lib
erty Socialism" campaign slogan.
The Democrats hope, will be in position to do much
better than that We'd like them the record OF
their accomplishments.
And the accomplishments, the better the record
That's why we're urging acton--more speed
those portions of the Fair Deal program that have not been
enacted.
The Presidents civil rights program is still in the talk
ing stage Action needs to be taken or completely the
following:
Social security, health insurance, mdde-ncome hous-
ing labor extension service, elimination of discrimination
from the displaced persons law.
And then there's that obnoxious Taft-Hartey Act
If the Democrats can't get all of the Fair Deal egsa

Ndtural Gus Measure Would Blast Money
From Users Pockets

Have you read anything in your home town paper about
the natural gas bill now before the Senate?
We doubt it, This measure of the most important
pieces of legislation being considered by Congress, virtually
has been ignored by the daily press
Although the legislation affects "a million consumers in
nearly every state few of the nations newspapers have
printed anything about it,
True, the details of the natural gas bill very comp-
Gated. However, passage of the only
thing Higher rates for the millions who cook heat their
homes with gas
Under the BILL which passed the House last year. Fed
era regulation of natural gas would be ineffective The large
oil companies controlling gas fields would make at least $3.50
million each year And those millions would be dug out of
consumers pockets.
Why do newspapers with ample for sensational
murder stories and Hollywood scandals every day. omit
about natural gas?
Well have you ever seen newspaper publisher take
pains to print harmful to big oil companies other
big businesses?

Correction That's Long Been Needed

Watch for big battle in Congress within the next two
months the office of General Counsel in the National
Labor Relations Board.
President Truman has recommended abolition of the
office The duties of General Counsel would be assumed by
NLRB members.
Unless either the House the Senate disapproves the
plan by May II it into effect that date The proposal
is in line with the government reorganization program ad
vanced by the Hoover Commission
In Congress conservatives will try to the office Of
General Counsel held by Robert Denham, because Den
ham has proved his ant-labor bias in the than two
years he has held the job.
On the other hand liberals realize that the division Of
authority which results from having General Counsel sep
and apart from the NLB not only makes for bad ad
mnistration but also for chaotic abomanagement rea-
tions.

yesterday that any inquiry without
Chinese Communist participation
would be Unacceptable to the

United States Air Force officials in
Tokyo vigorously denied that.
