OB Republican! much to criticize In President Truman'i state of the union message to Congress Wednesday. But not all comment followed party lines, especially on civil rights and foreign policy. Sample reactions Rep. McCormack (Mass), House Democratic leader: "It is a courageous message consistent with President Truman's leader ship. Internationally, it shows his determination 10 siop uraimu nlsm and aggression; from the domestic side, the strengthening of the family life of America." Rep. Martin (Mass), House - Republican leader: "It is the same old political hash warmed over in the hope of fooling the people. It falls ut terly to come to grips with two great vital needs of the day- cutting down government apenu lng and lowering the tax burden on the American people. These ' must be done If we are to have 1 prosperity and ots lor me worn Him. Arends (111), assistant Re- nnhllran leader. In the House, said the message opened "the 1950 political campaign." Arends addea: , "President Truman once again ' comes before the Congress and the country appealing to classes and groups of our citizens, as ' Ine for soecial legislation advan tageous to only certain segments ' of our society. "He cares nothing about the cost of his proposals, the deficit financing Involved, the enormous and burdensome pumic aeoi, nor ; does he seem to care wnay may eventually happen to our feacr- . al treasury. . chrn.i Nat Enouah Rpn. Eaton (NJ). ton Republic '. can and former chairman of the House foreign affairs committee; "I'm strongly in favor of contln '. ulng the European recovery pro gram until It has finally accom- . plished Its great objective. I'm fn favor of every possible effort to hold back Communism in its '. attempt to conquer the world, but . I'm afraid it will not ne oone . simply by pious phrases." Rep. Priest (Tenn) assistant Democratic leader: "The Presi dent has enunciated a splendid . doctrine of faith In the future of America. I was impressed by his . tone of optimism and his empha . sis once more on this country's role In leading the world to peace." Senator MUllkln of Colorado, ranking Republican on the Sen- ate finance committee, said the people will not support any re 1 quest for new taxes. Ren. Colmer (D-MIss), chair man of a southern group created to fight the President's civil rights program: "Our committee will continue to do everything we can to prevent enactment of the civil rights program." Rep. Cooley (D-NC), chairman of the House agriculture commit- tee: "I still think it (The Bran- nan Farm plan) has no chance ' In the present Congress. . Ren. Taber (NY) Republican economy spokesman in the ' Mouse: "President Truman's optlmls- . tic prediction of a trillion dollar national economy sounds good .but in actuality, It means Infla tion, higher prices and diminish- lng returns." Rep. Vinson (D-Ga), chairman of the House armed services ' of the House Agriculture commit- committee, acknowledged "strong " feeling" on draft extension but declined direct comment. From " past expressions, however, it is evident his "feelings" are opposed . to extension. Senate Democratic leader Lu ' cas (111) said Mr. Truman "gave , another eloquent expression of hig humanitarian philosophy, and he cited again the high goals of enduring peace and stable pro perlty to which his administra tion Is dedicated." Chairman George (D-Ga) of . the Senate finance committee ' said: "The president wants a . 'moderate amount' of new taxes. , Well, I want a 'moderate amount' of expenditure reduction. Maybe we can get together."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. m President Truman said today he does not know when the Rus sians will produce another atomic explosion.

Ook Anti-Histamine Drugs Criticized PORTLAND, Jan. 5. JP) Users of anti-histamlne drugs for cure of colds may run into haz ardous "side effects." That was the comment of physicians on a symposium at last night's meeting of the Mult nomah County Medical society. "A high climber up a tree is safer with a cold than with an anti-hlstamine drug dose," Dr. M. L. Margason, society president, said after three physicians had discussed the now widely used new drugs. Dr. M. R. Moore said drowsi ness, dizziness and headaches might result. "A great deal of caution should be used," he said. "Driving a car might result in serious consequences." The drugs give a certain amount of comfort, accounting ior ineir popularity, ne said. Dr. R. R. Matter! said, how- ever, that the drugs' cold-killing qualities had been exaggerated. He said he could find no results approaching those reported in a navai nospuai experiment which is quoted in advancing sales. Precisely what happens to give the drugs their good results in treatment of some ailments they are lauded when used against nay iever is not known, Dr. Frank Perlman said. The bodv absorbs the drugs quickly, he said, and it is believed that there are no serious harmful effects.

Nationwide Phono TJeup Threatened By Union ' (Continued from Page One) that wage boosts granted since the end of the war cost about double the amount of telephone rate increases. He said any new wage raise would "have to be paid for By teiepnone users. The union contended that the 100,000 workers in a position to strike now could effectively stop service all over the country. Two of these groups of workers are equipment installers ano sales men. Jones said picKeung oi these two erouos at exchanges could stop other phone workers from working. The biggest group now ready to strike numbers 50,000 of all types of phone workers in the six-state southwestern division. They had scheduled a strike on Christmas eve but postponed It until Jan. 12. Just how effective a strike the union could arrange was uncer tain. In 1947 the same union had phone workers idle from coast to coast for six weeks. But automatic dial systems kept local service functioning In most cities. Long distance service was main tained on an emergency basis with skeleton crews. Last year the union affiliated with the CIO. Jones contended the group is stronger now. The union did not list improve ments in the Bell system pension plan among its demands. This was done, union officials said, because the union recently filed charges against the Bell com panies with the National Labor Relations board, saying they had altered the plan without consult ing the union. natural resources.
