SIXTEEN NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1949 President Truman's Fair Deal Goes Far Beyond Roosevelt's New Deal By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON Near the end of President Truman's message to the new Congress he said, "Every segment of our population has a right to expect from his government a fair deal." If the program which the presi dent outlined was his conception "of a fair deal for every citizen, that might be a good name for the Democrats to try to give it "Truman's Fair Deal." It certain ly wasn't the old New Deal. It went way beyond anything Franklin D. Roosevelt ever thought of. Also, there were only a couple of points in the message that the President hadn't prom ised previously, during his cam paign. So It wasn't "new." The president broke away from his text at one point to mention that he had previously asKed Con gress to approve the St. Law rence Seaway project five times. There were a lot of other things In that message the president has asked Congress for five times or more. The convenient thing about the message is that here they are all wrapped up in one package, with a check list. It's enough to keep the 81st Congress busy for its full two years. There will be plenty of politi cians and others who will claim that the Truman program doesn't offer them a very fair deal, or that It is Just a fail-deal not a good deal. The President's tax program, to raise another $4,000,000,000 a year, will be criticized us "soak ing thp rich" and "persecuting business" phrases which may have a familiar ring to some ears. The President made no mention of raising taxes on lower Income brackets to offset the tax cuts made by the last Congress, over Truman's vetoes.. Much Left Unsaid He listed so many separate items some 60 In all that he didn't have time to go Into de tails on all the Issues he men tioned. Consequently, there will be plenty of reading between th? lines of his message, trying to in terpret what he may have had in the back of his mind that he didn't put on paper. For Instance, the President's new eight-point anti-Inflation program picks up seven of the 10 points he advo cated In his message of a year ago. The three points dropped are: 1. Authorization to Induce the marketing of livestock at weights which represent most ef ficient utilization of grain. 2. Au thorization to increase the pro duction of foods In foreign coun tries. 3. Authorization to put in consumer rationing on product In scarce supply. None of these things is now considered neces sary or workable. The other seven requests for authority to fix prices, ailocat" scarce materials, control rents, regulate credit and so on are all back In again. The eighth point, which the President tacked on, Is one that will probably cause more discussion than anything in the whole message. It calls for an im mediate study of production fa cilities for materials in short sup ply. Then It asks authorization to make government loans to ex pand production, or for govern ment construction of such facill ties If action by private Industry falls to meet the need. Threat Envisaged This will probably bs inter preted In some quarters as a di rect threat that the President wants to nationalize, say the steel, housing or electric power Industries. That is perhaps an ex treme interpretation, for Mr. Tru man says elsewhere that "the greater part of the task must be performed by Individual efforts under our system of free enter prise." There will be plenty of criti cism that the goals set by the President are too high. In hous Ing, he wants a million morp low cost rental units than the 191,000 now authorized. Last year's Taft Ellender-Wagner bill called for only 500,000. Truman doubled It. While the message seems to be plain spoken on everything con ceivable, a lot of issues weren't mentioned by name. When the President said domestic markets for farm product should be ex panded, he may have meant something like revival of the food stamp plan. tioning. Detectives would give no details. This is the second slaying here in two days. Attorney Earl Pruet was shot and killed yesterday. The slayer of Harkins surren dered to postal employes. They heard the shot, ran out Into the lobby and the man said: "I shot him and want to give myself up." Officers did not identify the man held.
