10 Stand Up for Questionnq-ond No Nonsense

1t Is a fair guess that most Of
the candidates for President, or
for one of the nominations,
have drawn on their calendars
a heavy ring around the date
of May /. On that day in
Cincinnati they or their best
sponsors will stand on the same
platform and expose themselves
to most discriminating audi
ence. It will be an audience
little moved by personal charm,
by political WisecrackS or par
tisan appeal. 1t will be little
interested in the sins of the
present or past administrations,
Democratic or Republican, but
vastly interested in what the
future has to offer. 1t will be an
audience of hard thinking,
politically experienced women,
who don't care to be kidded, are
not susceptible to f1attery and
don't in the least consider them
selves members of a weaker six.
Lest this suggest a gathering
of female battle-axeS. it should
quickly be explained that they
are an attractive lot on the
whole, most of them young
enough to still tell their age.
1t is just that they take poll
tics and Government seriously
and with exceptional under
standing. They ask for results
and in recent years have DEM
onStrated ability to get same.

utterance differently from most
historians. He does not read in
it proclamation of absolutism

It may be that this interpreta-'

Steel Mills Seizure
BY J. A. O'leory

The stage is set for a vote in

Humans seizure of the steel mills
Republicans paved the way for
a showdown by Offering an amend
ment to a pending appropriation
bill late yesterday. The amend
ment would prevent use of any
Government funds for the seizure
or operation of any plant or facil-
lty unless authorized by law.
The Republicans contend the
President had no authority in law
or under the Constitution to take
over the steel mills.
Would Force Retreat.
Two of the sponsors of the
amendment said they believe its
adoption would either force the
Government to retreat from its
seizure order. or use company
funds to pay any Government
officials connected with the seiz-
ure.
In order to make the amend
ment broad enough to cover all
Government funds. including the
Presidents emergency appropri-
ations. the Republican Senators
had to file written notice of intent
to suspend the rules.
Suspension of the rules on Mon
day will require a two-thirds
vote. Sponsors of the limitation
would not speculate on whether
they have that much support, al
though they expect some Demo
cratic backing.

Constantine Brown:

Ever since President Truman
laid aside the cares of another
electoral campaign with himself
as the central figure his mood
has been far more exuberant
and playful.
In all likelihood the Presi-
dent was in such a playful
frame of mind Thursday when
he made a remark to visiting
newspaper editors that some Of
them interpreted as implying
that If the national interests
required it he would deal with
the press and radio networks in
the same manner he dealt with
the steel industry.
The Chief Executive is an as
Sidious reader of history. Other
men who must carry heavy bur-
dens find relaxation in the late
hours at the end of a busy day
in reading whodunits and other
light literature. Not so Mr.. Thu
man. He reads ancient, medi-
eval and modern history and
absorbs avidly the deeds of
great men from Hannibal and
Alexander the Macedonian to
the heroes of our times. He does
not expect to be included in
their number, but his close as
Sociates have hopes. A public
figure finds his niche in history
only many years after his death.
The Chief Executive is said to
have been greatly impressed
with King Louis XIV of France,
who at the height of his glorious
reign exclaimed: "L'etat c'est
moi" Il am the State). OF
course, Mr.. Truman realizes
that conditions in the goth
