TRUMAN:
Drops Fair Deal

President Truman opened his
State of the Union" message to
congress with the words Jour coun-
try is in a healthy condition I"
From that point he stressed
strength and unity in the face of
Communist aggression throughout
the world.
One of the remarkable points
of the Presidents message was his
apparent willingness to drop his
much debated Fair Deal program
for the time being-in order to
get on with the business of build
ing up the free worlds ability to
wage "a full-scale war against
Russia" if such conflict becomes
necessary.
Mr.. Humans plea for unity was
impressive and undoubtedly won
him some new friends in a hostile
congress. Il ask the congress for
unity do not ask, or expect,
manimity . Let us debate the
issues, but let every man among
us weigh his words and Deeds" he
said.
Many Legislators called the Pres
dents speech conciliatory. And
despite certain routine political
sharpshooting which some Repub-
ncans INDUCED in after his address,
1t was obvious that the opposition
party was affected favorably by
his effort to find unity of purpose
1t seems likely that an era of
greater cooperation and political
peace is in store for the 82nd con-
gress than could have been hoped
for few months ago. The people
along the main streets of America
may at least see swift and vital
decisions made to meet the crisis.
It was also evident from the
Presidents speech that on one point
he would not give an inch. He
stood unyielding on the issue Of
military cooperation with western
Europe.

TAFT:
Constructive Criticism

In speech which he called ICON
structive criticism" OF the admin
istration, Sen. Robert A. Taft O.
Ohio served notice that the Re
publican party pledged itself te
securing a greater voice in pol
icy making.
The senator based his criticisms
on what he called the President S
legal right to send American troops
to Europe. He added that we "had
| better commit no American troops
to the European continent at this
time"
Mr.. Taft expressed a tide of
thought that has been growing
throughout the United States since
reverses in Korea, namely, that
the defense of Europe was primarily
western Europe's responsibility,
not ours.
Undoubtedly the most powerful
Republican in h e senate, Taft
seemed to be serving notice on the
administration that congress in
tended to cut in on the Presidents
power to formulate foreign policy.
If the Republicans are willing to
push the question it could lead to
a state of confusion in congress
never before seen in time of
crisis.
One of the most startling state
ments of the senator's speech was
the one when he said the us. ought
to go along, for the time being,
in the U.N. for its value as world
forum, but that the instrumentality
was mortally weak in having been
founded, not upon Justice" but
upon the power of it's leading men,
bers. To the people in the home
towns of the country who had
placed their faith in the United
Nations it was like a blow below
the belt.
Was it possible that some of the
nations leading Legislators believed
that the United Nations was as dead
as the League of Nations? Was it
possible that some of our promi-
nent leaders favored us. withdraw
al from the United Nations? Taft's
speech put those questions into the
minds of many.
Two days after his policy"
speech, Senator Taft announced
he was in favor of pulling us.
troops out of Korea and setting
up new Pacific defense line
based on Formosa and Japan. For
these he would fight, he said. He
then warned that if Russia at
tacks western Europe "it means
war"

CONTROLS:
A Matter of Time

Wage and price controls ap-
peared certain for the nation as it
moved toward full mobilization. To
the average housewife the need for
price controls on food was becom-
ing desperate.
A disagreement within the gov
ernment's economic-control organ
ization blocked action on a planned
30-day wage-price freeze. The &C.
ton was a temporary measure to
hold the line until enforcement ma
chinery could be set up about
March l.
Price controller Michael v. Di-
Sale repeatedly will need 10000
workers for a nationwide staff, of
whom more than half would be
charged with tracking down black
marketeers, hoarders, price goug-
ers and other control chiselers.
Some temporary plan to stop the
price spiral was considered neces-
sary by most people. At the pres
ent rate of increase, food prices
would be at an aI-time high by
March l and would bring hardship
for fixed income groups. Millions
of workers have contracts which
grant pay increases as the price
index climbs and this group would
not suffer.
The people on pensions and white
collar workers are hardest hit by
any price spiral.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1951-01-26
FARMING:
Some Curbs Lifted

The government removed all re-
strictions on production of wheat
and corn for 1851 in an effort to
maintain safe reserves of these
vital bread and livestock feed
grains under the national emer-
gency.
The only crops still under pro-
duction controls are some types of
tobacco, peanuts and rice. 1t is
possible that restrictions may be
eased on peanuts and rice.
The action came too late for ad-
ditional planting of witer wheat
but is expected to increase spring
wheat planting which makes up 80
per cent Of the nations crop.
Farm experts predicted that the
unlimited corn acreage would in
crease the nations meat supply
by at least three pounds per per
son this year. There was enough
meat available in 1850 to supply
each person with 145 pounds.

Composer Ludwig Won Beethoven
was once invited to a dinner party
by noblewoman who delighted in
showing off her artistic friends. She
glanced at his shabby attire and
said:
"Of course you won't come
dressed like this. It's a very impor-
tant party. I must see your best
clothes"
Beethoven flushed in anger. Then
he promised:
"You will see my best clothes,
madam"
On the night of the dinner, Bee
hoven did not arrive at the ap-
pointed time. The hostess waited
nervously for her prize guest to ap-
pear. An hour passed. Then there
was knock on the door and a mes
senger entered, carrying a package.
The noblewoman opened it. In
side was full dress suit and 4
card which read:
Madam, these are my best
clothes. hope they will make your
party success"

Almost every fly fisherman knows
what hair fly is, and knows, too,
that it is among the most depend
able and effective of all the wet
flies. There is new variety made
with deer hair, horse hair and po-
lar bear hackles which has trans.
lucent rib woven into the body
which gives it a very life-like ap-
pearance. You can hold this fly

The Program

President Truman outlined a
l0-point legislative program in
his Estate of the Union" mes
sage to congress:
/. Appropriations for the
armed forces build-up.
2. Extension and revision OF
the draft law, presumably to
induct 18-year-olds and extend
the draft term from 81 to q or
30 months.
8. Military and economic aid
to the rest of the free world.
4. Revision and extension of
his authority to expand produc-
ton and control wages, prices,
and rents.
S. Improvement of the agri-
cultural laws to help "obtain
the kinds of farm products we
need for the defense effort"
This might include a direct sub
sidy to farmers to keep from
setting farm price ceilings at
less than parity.
6. Improvement of labor laws
to help provide stable labor
management relations" and as
sure STEADY" production.
Z. Housing and training Of de-
tense workers and "the full use
of an our man-power resources"
8. Legislation to increase the
supply Of doctors, nurses. and
other medical personnel.
D. Federal aid to the States
for elementary and secondary
education.
10. A major increase" in
taxes.

KOREA:
Pottern Repeated

The pattern of the Korean con-
flict continued to repeat itself.
Following the January / attack
by Chinese and North Korean Com
munists on United Nations forces
south of the 38th parallel, a gen.
eral retreat to the south and the
old Pusan beachhead continued.
The retreat was along the old
"Heartbreak Highway" down which
Americans and South Koreans first
retreated before the North Korean
invaders last July.
Although Communist casualties
were reported heavy, the Reds
continued to attack and push south
ward.
1t seemed unlikely that United Ma
tons forces would be able to es-
tablish line short of the Pusan
beachhead. What would happen
after that is anyone's guess.
Some military leaders believe
U.N. troops will be able to stand
off Communist thrusts with the aid
of us. fleet guns. 1t seemed un-
likely, however, that a counter
offensive could be launched for
months.
1t was obvious to every observ-
er that the position of UN. troops
in Korea was steadily growing
worse. And there was no indica-
ton that their position would get
better.

Night Fishing
BY jim RHoDY0

Naturally, this item will have
little current interest except for
those who are located geographical
ly where climate permits year
round fishing, or fishing for much
later in the year than most of the
United States enjoys. However, the
true angler is never static, no mat
ter how deep the snow or how bit
ter the climate, for his dreams, de-
sires and imagination are always
working overtime during the winter,
readying plans and forays astream
for the first permissible weather.
In that connection, then, this
piece about night fishing may not
be completely amiss.
The veteran angler knows that
when darkness falls, trout which
have lain dormant through the day
come out of the shadows and into
the still waters to feed on minnows
and other trout food which usually
is abroad in the evenings. Big trout
especially lose their caution and
boldly cruise in waters they would
shun in the daylight hours. They
seem to have no fear of the angler
working his might" flies or other
lures from areas which he has
secuted and marked during the
daytime.
Some states permit night fishing
until $3.50 o'clock; others until $50
or 10, and still others have no limit
at all for the nocturnal Walton
and the angler who knows the way
of a streamer fly often fills his
creel with the kind of fish that put
one in the expert" class.
1t seems to be a widely-accepted
conclusion that the darker the
night, the better the fishing" al
though the writer has experienced
sessions astream during bright
nights which dispell this theory. 1t
is true that on dark nights the trout
seem to engage in more widespread
feeding activities, feeding all over
the stream or river, now and then
breaking the surface with great
splashes. But that is not to say
that they cannot also be taken on
nights when there is a moon or
considerable light from the stars.
For the most successful night
the angler should scout his
fishing grounds in full daylight and
mark well the places where he ex-
poets to stand and make his casts
at night. He should even rehearse
the procedure-in order to fix in
his mind trees and snags which
might ensnare his back casts; he
should make careful note of land
marks that show up in the dark so
he will not wade into water over
his depth, nor run afoul of strong
currents which might take him off
his feet and sweep him downstream
in the darkness. If he is casting with
a lure on bait-casting rod, he
should look we'll to his reel and see
that it is oiled and properly adjust.
ed, in order that he may not have
to struggle with backlash in to-
tai darkness or under the feeble
rays of flashlight.
Best flies for night fishing are
the streamers-and any of them
will do, although there are scores
of oldtimers who will argue
that the best fly for
darktime fishing is the darkest fly
you can find!

Types Of Packs

There are almost as many styles
of packs as there are types of tents
No pack should be worn so low
that it will bore into the small of the
back. Where the articles in the
pack are in contact with the Shout
ders or back, as is the case when
using pack sack, be certain there
is nothing in the pack that will
press against these points and cause
chatting or irritation. A good way
to avoid this is to fold your blanket
and put it in the pack flat against
the side that will be against your
body This will act as cushion
II the pack is equipped with leather
shoulder straps, they should be
kept soft, and rubbing them thor
oughly with neetsfoot oil will ac-
complish this Slipping the Shout
der straps through a slotted, rec
tangular piece of sheepskin which
acts as pad against the shoulders
will sometimes make them more
comfortable.
The blackboard or pack frame is
made of either wood stats or
canvas-covered, light weight steel
frame so constructed as to hold the
weight away and out from the body
making it ideal in hot weather.
Pack boards are fitted with Shout
der straps, and have hooks or holes
to accommodate the ropes used to
lash load to frame. A head band
may be added if desired. They are
preferred by campers who must
pack outfits that are too heavy,
bulky or irregular to fit in pack
sack.
