Congress and Initiation


Is the Congress abdicating It's re-
sponsibilities? Do they no longer be-
lieye in representative government?n
The same Congressmen who bride at
the word democracy" as applied to our
government and testify tell you we have
a representative republican" form OF
government are now saying that they
are afraid to vote for anti-infiation
legislation unless the people" write
them letters.
This line of reasoning is plain NAM
bunk" Since when have we had gov
ernment by letter writing? And In the
final analysis, what good does the let
ter do? In 1946 the Congress received
more than million pieces OF mail
urging that price controls be retained
Congress killed price controls to all in
tents and purposes on June 30, 1946 by
q watered-down weakened Taft
Wheery price decontrol bill.
In 1916, NAM said let's pay no at
tention to letters-just let US alone and
prices will level of. Prices did level off
for wilhelm the stratisphere, and
they seem headed for outer space unless
strong price and rent controls are en-
acted Immediately.
It Is the single duty of the Congress to
legislate-and to legislate in the best
interest Of the people. Congressman are
presumably elected because their con-
stituents trust their judgment. Congress-
men have no right to abdicate the one
responsibility with which they are
entrusted. Regardless of whether the
postman rings once, twice, or so times.
Congress must not let imitation do Joe
Stalin's work for him.

There soon viii be no law to protect
us against imitation unless Congress
votes to carry out President Truman's

laws. or laws too weak to be effective In
keeping prices under control, all of US

Fair Deal Critics

The more we see and hear Of Senator
Douglas, the more we trust his honest
brain and socially conscious heart. Alone
he modified the facts against the pork
barrel raid on the Treasury. He candidly
admits Secretary Acheson is casualty
of war who should be buried with honor.
AS a political realist, he accepts the BIZ
partisan mandate for Eisenhower as a
healing prerequisite for national unity.
Now, in spite Of President Truman's
selfish jealousy. he is crusading for
ethics-in-government. The bitter irony
is that, In fighting for ethics in gov
ernment. President Truman's cronyism
will be the Senator's elusive opponent.
He can not strike at unethical prac-
tices and political pay-offs without max
ing the President bleed. Yet unless moral
crusaders like Senator Douglas can bring
conscience back to public service. we
will go the way Of ancient Rome.
Senator Douglas symbolizes the des-
perate taxpayers hunger for honesty.
solvency and integrity in government.
The shame is that he is obliged to
shoulder another default of leadership.
Only the President can discipline the un-
reachables. Yet he makes a major gen.
eral out of poor non-com material. He
was close enough to royal pastel mink
to see its cynical price tag. His closest
personal advisers openly quit public
service to recoup their personal fortunes.
And these theological mercenaries have
nothing to peddle but influence and
spoilsman's know-how.

Americans Need Religious Faith,
 Says Truman
By Ernest B. Vaccaro

WASHINGTON, R-President Truman declared Tuesday Ameri- cans need the burning faith" of religion to prevent a Communist tide of aggression "from sweep ing across the world"
 He also said religious principles command a fight on organized crime and vice.
 The task ahead is "full of un- certainties and sacrifices" MT. Truman said, ''but we need not be afraid if we have the faith"
 The president spoke as a corn erstone was laid for a new $1,- 250,000 building for the 150-year- old New York Avenue Presbyter- ian Church here. Abraham Lin- coin was once a pewholder in the church.
 MT. Truman said Americans can follow their religious faiths "with the same devotion and de- termination the Communists give to their goddess creed" Religion, he said, must live in American hearts Gas a burning faith"
 "Only such a faith-only a liv- ing allegiance to such a faith can carry this country through the trials which are ahead of it," he continued.

VALDEZ CAR BURIED IN EARTHSLIDE Squashed to 3Ha Feet
 Occupants Survive

ANCHORAGE, P- Workmen aS cons .ruction project near Val dez, 175 miles east of here, dug slowly through debris covering an automobile buried by an earth slide.
 They dug slowly because the slide, touched off by a construc- ton blast, had smothered the car under tons of rock and snow from a hillside bordering the road. There wasn't much chance, they thought, that anyone in the car could have survived.
 Just as a shovel scraped the car, the workmen heard groans.
 They stepped up their pace, quickly uncovered the machine and found Olaf Walhood, AS, and Varl Lawrence, 38, both of Val dez, miraculously alive in the crushed vehicle.
 Doctors said today the condi- tion of both men was good despite serious injuries.
 Walhood was hurt internally, and Lawrence received a broken collarbone and wrenched back. Both men suffered from shock.
 Workmen said the car was flat tened to three and a half feet.
