Along the Potomac
to Washington
By J. Glenn Beall
Congressman Sixth District

Last week the President delivered
his State of the Union Message In
the opinion of many, it appeared to
be a preparedness for war speech and
II message of bankruptcy in both
foreign policy which finds the country
ON the verge of a third World War
within a generation and in fiscal
policies which has piled Federal debt
on top of debt and with more taxes to
come.
The nation is called upon to tighten
its belt and the President stated in a
letter to Senator Byrd of Virginia,
present conditions are such now,
however, that it is necessary to tax
until it hurts"
Under these circumstances, it
would seem that Fair Deal socialistic
measures should be forgotten. How
ever, the President, in his message,
although touching lightly on the
questions, still calls for the Brannan
Plan under the guise of improving
agricultural laws; socialized medicine
under the guise of shortage of doe
tors and Federal aid to education in
which the Government would eventu-
ally take over the administration of
our schools.
The President made a plea for BIZ
partisan policy, particularly in the

operate with the minority party in

over legislation which had been taken
away from them back in 1910. When
the House organized for the SIND

New Deal Democrats from all sec
