Meanwhile, the majority report

criticized the bill.
The majority report agreed
that postal salary Reconsideration
is needed. However, it said a
joint congressional committee

that this is provided for in the

PAY-The z per cent postal

fore the House Rules Commit

is needed before the bill can
come up for House action. In

NEW YORK, Jan. 9-Former

Congress and also expanded on
the great interest in herrings."
The latter was a reference to
recent discussion as to whether
he said the Republican-con-
trolled Both Congress in 1948
conducted a spy probe as a "red
herring" to cover up shortcom-
ingS.
Taking his usual morning
stroll, he told newsmen:
Il don't know why there is
such a great interest in herrings.
"The corn belt has moved 500
miles north, according to what
I've read, and the herrings have
moved 200 miles north and are
now being caught in Scandina-
Wan waters"
His comment was prompted by
a reporter who asked him to elab-
crate on the "red herring" is

cover up its shortcomings by
diverting, attention, just as the
present Congress is doing today"
Mr. Truman said.
'"The present Congress is doing
nothing and is also trying to
cover up their shortcomings with
demagoguery. Now, that's good
if it works, but I don't know if
they can work it forever. The
public will get wise"

but explains why he did it.
According to the fact sheet,

power of counties. will be sought

by the League Of Virginia
Counties.
w. B. Speck, executive secre-

program in general will be the
same as that outlined by the
organization during its annual

A local motor vehicle license
tax, taxing of billboards in
counties as they now are taxed
in the cities, a business and pro-
fessional license tax, admissions
taxes, public utilities taxes, and
recordation taxes, collected by
the county clerks, to remain in

Another point in the leagues
program. Mr.. Speck said, will
be a request for sufficient ap-
preparations by the State for
public welfare operations.
