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.
