TWO NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURS, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1948 Special Congress Session Promises Huge Overdose of Political Venom By JAMES THRASHER With President Truman's recall of Congress, the boobyprize campaign will begin In earnest. Right now it loeki ai If the Preii dent had Congresi over a barrel. But it li certain that the Republt can strateglita will do everything maneuver backfire on Mr. Truman. The manuever It frankly politic ral. The president has called the 80th Congress "the worst." Now, he says, this special session Is "the test." He Is calling it to get action on a lot of hot-potato Issues like high prices, housing, civil rights and minimum wages. These are urgently Important measures left among the 80th Ctniri s ' unfinished business. But tney surely will not be con sidered with the statesman-like deliberation that they deserve, If indeed they are considered at all. Mr. Truman Is making the rec ord of this Congress the principal target of his campaign.

Jackson they can to try to make this bull's-eye of that target. He ob viously hopes that anything the special session does will react to his advantage. Can Aid Truman All that a president can do, of course, Is to summon Congress Into special session. He cannot force the members to act once they have assembled. He cannot prevent them from adjourning the day alter they meet. But If Congress adjourns wltlv out action, Mr. Truman will have won his point If It falls to con sider major legislation, or defeats any or all Important bills that are presented, he will have scored again. And If the legislators should pass civil rights bill, or up the minimum wage to 75 cents or pass the Taft-EUender-Wagner housing Dill, or Impose any sort of price control, he would un doubtedly take credit for It. The Republicans' difficulty Is that some of the things Mr. Tru man asks are also In their own platform. But, with the excep tion of civil rights, they are also responsible for the lack of action on them. If this Republican Congress does anything, It will probably draft bills to cover tome of these Important matters, In a recog nizably Republican pattern, and then wait hopefully for Mr. Tru man to make a mistake. For then It would be the wisdom of Con gress against Mr. Truman's wis dom. And unless the new laws were grossly inadequate, the Re publicans would probably not only defend them vigorously but also attack the president for try ing to dictate to a body which, in the end, has greater authority than his own office.

Since the campaign will be hitter enough at best, and since critical world events, which take no time out for American politics, will be demanding our highest govern mental wisdom, It may be best to hope that under the circum stances the session will be brief.
