President Truman's Fair Deal
foes today had his word that the
program, which has preached the
Democratic Party, has simply been
subordinated to the defense effort
not shelved.
The President emphasized his
position in a news conference late
yesterday, when he read. a pre-
pared statement with the explana-
ton that it was designed to clear
up a lot of conversation about the
Fair Deal. The talk, he said, had
been stirred by his state of the
Union message in which scant ref
erence was made to his social and
economic reform aims.
Specifically, Mr.. Truman said,
he still wants something done
about the Taft Hartley law, which
is anathema to labor, and civil
rights. which put four Southern
States in the Dixiecrat column
in 1948.
Won't Abandon Programs.
Lets get that straight" he
said in a prepared statement.

effort like this Gne, we cannot
neglect the measures needed to
maintain a strong economy and
a healthy democratic society.
The Congress therefore should
give continued attention to the
measures which our country will
need for the long pull. And it
should act upon such legislation
as promptly as circumstances
permit t."
AS he finished reading, the
President remarked that there
had been a lot of speculation as
to whether he was going back on
the Democratic platform. Firmly
he said he is not.
A reporter wanted to know
about the Presidents omission in
his message of the demand for
repeal of the Taft-Hartley law
which he had been fighting ever
since the Republican-controlled
80th Congress enacted it over his
veto.
Mr.. Truman said the message
called for improvements in the
labor laws to insure stable pro-

duction, and that if this requires
repeal of the Taft-Hartley law,
that is what is wanted.
IF not?" he was asked.
That's up to Congress, he re-
sponded.
He also wants the civil rights
program, Mr.. Truman said. His
message touched only vaguely on
this subject, and did not repeat
his demand for a Fair Employ

BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Opera

Unregistered Ee-SerOicenen Must

Men between the ages of Is

law to register at Selective
Service local board within 30

Director of Selective Service,

in the platform Of the original

ment of such a service. But,
nothing has ever come of any Of

Now, here I am again. offering

fee. AS soon as you secure a

nance, you may advertise it

FIVE cents a week for each two

you are considering the selection
of a date, you would find these
dates already secured and could
avoid humping against them. I
am offering to keep such a list
alive in the paper (provided the
editor consents) for the love of
the performance of music and
the allied arts, and will not de-
rive any benefit except satisfac-
ton if my plan goes through.
