V Repetition Of Program Puts At Previous Session Status By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. W The opening of the 1950 Congress was about as unusual as listening to an old phonograph record. President Truman handed Congress the program he wants passed. But this was just the unfinished part of the program tie. oiierea last year. Right away the Democratic leaders said this was a very wonderful program, Indeed, which is what they have been saying all along. And right away the Republi cans condemned the program. "It's Socialistic," they said, which is what they have been saying all along. This brings us to where we were when Congress quit for a few months last fall. Nothing's changed. As for the program, Congress probably will pass some of it, leave most unpassed, which is MIRRORS PAGE LUMBER & FUEL '.64 E. 2nd Ave. F Phone 242 PERMANENT ANTIFREEZE L0CKW00D MOTORS Rose and Oak Phone 80 Steam Cleaning 0 General Repairs All Work Guaranteed .

In the elections of 1950 and 1952 the voters ought to be able to maKe a pretty clear-cut choice between Democrats and Repub licans to run the country. They can by their votes show wnetner tney want tne Truman program or some program the Kepuoileans oiler by election time. They don't have any pro gram of their own now. They're trying to ngure out one. The only way the voters can snow a real preference s by giv ing one side or the other over whelming control of Congress, ! which will mean enough votes for I the winning side to ram its pro- ' gram tnrougn. The Democrats now have a I slim majority in Congress. But the Trumaninte Democrats be come a minority any iime the soutnern Democrats want to break away and vote with the Republicans. So long as this upsy-downsy sit uation continues in Congress, with neither side in strong con trol, any program, Democrat or Republican, will have slow go ing, and we'll get more talk than action. In a two-party country like this, a fairly well divided Congress is a check against either side going too far too fast. That's the argu ment against too much control by any one party.

There were a number of things in that message like civil rights and a national health insurance system which nobody I ve found in Washington expects to see passed this year. Nevertheless, they're part of the Truman program, they've been part of it, and he put them in his message. His plea for civil rights laws he finished in a sen tence. All he had to say on health Insurance he said in a para graph. There was no need to sav more, since they're dead ducks this year, but they'll serve as campaign material wnen elec tions come around, because the Trumanites can point to them and say: 'We wanted to put these things through in 1949. We wanted to put them through again this year. ,But we don't have enough votes in congress. (Jive us the major ity we need."

In a surprising surge toward budget balancing, the election minded lawmakers iighted on Mr. Truman's request for a "moderate" tax increase and ap parently shoved it to :he head of the list marked for rejection in tms session. Out of a cascade of reaction to the President's message Wed nesday came clear indications that important members of both parties will okay continued red ink spending only if drastic econ omy moves lau and then reluct antly. Similarly, Congress members In a position to act said in about as many words that the Presi dent's appeals for continuation of the military draft, Taft-Hartley repeal, the Brannan farm plan, medical insurance and the St. Lawrence Seaway will go on the shelf for this session. There was an apparently clear road- for (1) expansion of social security coverage and benefits and U) continuation on a reduc ed scale of economic and mili tary aid to non-communist coun tries abroad. There the list of certainties ended. These Proposals Doomed Lawmakers lumped In the doubtful category the presiden tial proposals for middle-income housing aid, continuation of rent control, expansion of displaced persons admissions, aid to educa tion and the "point four" pro gram oi economic help lor tne world's backward areas. They gave even less chance of passage to an international trade organization resolution and the president s civil rights program.

Republicans met this Immedi ately with a scorching statement, signed by 100 House GOP mem bers, accusing the president of committing himself "to the even tual socialization of America and the elimination of .he traditional American competitive system. Senator Taft of Ohio, who heads the Senate GOP Policy committee, said Mr. Truman's mildness reminded him of By ron's quotation: "The mildest manner'd man that ever scuttled a ship or cut a threat."

ASK ABOUT OUR EASY MONTHLY PAYMENTS Fair Prices, A hvays All Your Building Materials In One Stop Battle To Repeal Taxes On Oleo Opens In Senate WASHINGTON. Jan. 5 -WP Senators fighting a House-passed bill to repeal federal oleomarga rine taxes today opened their drive to ban the yellow product from interstate commerce. With Senator Gillette (D-Ibwa) as their leadott speaker, oppo nents of the repeal legislation hoped to rally support for a sub stitute that would permit yellow oleomargarine to be sold only in a state where it is manufac tured. Gillette and Senator Wiley (R Wis.) are the chief authors of the proposal but 23 other senators are listed as co-sponsors. Like the House bill, it would wipe out the present federal taxes on oleomargarine. These include a 10-eents-apound tax on yellow colored margarine, a one-quarter cent a pound levy on the uncol ored variety and occupational taxes on manufacturers, whole salers and retailers. The Senate battle got under way yesterday with Senator Ful brlght (D-Ark) calling the pro posed substitute "thoroughly mis chievous." It "would disrupt the entire margarine industry and would sharply raise costs to consum ers," he said. Wiley, in turn, said the House bill represents "an attack by one segment of the economy on an other." - Butter Trade Held Periled He told a reporter that marga rine manufacturers "are holding prices in check until they get a monopoly." He added that with "cutrate prices" they could put butter out of business and then later raise prices. Fulbright hit at charges that "profiteering" in yellow marga rine might follow repeal. He la beled this propaganda and said the margarine industry is highly competitive. He told reporters that on the average margarine has sold over the years for about half the price of butter. This competiton, he said, "is the reason why there !s strong opposition today" to re peal of oleomargarine taxes. Senator Humphrey (D-Mlnn) predicted in a statement that the Gillette-Wiley amedment will be adopted by the Senate. He said it is endorsed by dairy farmers, "important segments of organized labor and many agri cultural groups aside from dairy farmers." Negro Soldier's Wife Dies Of Bullet Wounds SEATTLE, Jan. 6 UFh- Mrs. Marveline Gantt, 26, wife of a Fort Lawton army sergeant who police said killed himself after Shooting her in a family quar rel, died yesterday of hey wounds.
