Criticism Meet Message Of
President To Lawmakers
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. 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."

inmign senators who have con

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.

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.
