Truman Bids F6V Congress
O.K.On Foreign Policy With
Soft Pedal On His Fair Deal
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON (API President Truman ii soft-pedaling
his "fair deal" program for 1951.
Ho needs all the lupport he can get in Congress on hit
foreign program, since Congress already is split wide open on
that.
Betides, a large part of Congress' energy this year is going
to be needed for international dealings and defense.
In his state of the union message to Congrett Monday Mr.
Truman seemed very careful not to anger anyone very much
about his domestic program.
The whole lone of what he said
on domestic affairs was far less ag
gressive than his stale of the
union speech in other years.
His Trumanite" Democrats .in
Congress are outnu bered by t h e
Republicans and Southern nemo-
crats, any time they team up. j
The Republicans are his-hictest
hurdle on foreign affairs. He'll j
need to woo the southerners, or at j
least not push them away from i
him.
He infuriated Ihem in other years
Price Cuts Made
In "Good Faith"
I OH ft I DKIOI1
I, Decision
WASHINGTON (fl'l The Sn
preme Court ruled Monday that
price cuts made in "good faun
to meet competition are legal un
der the anti-trust laws.
The tribunal split S to 3 in hold
ing specifically that Standard Oil
company of Indiana may sell gas
oline to' four Detroit jobbers at a
price below that charged retail
service station operators there
long as the good faith requirement j
is met.
Justice Rurton wrote the court's
maioritv opinion for himself and
Justices Frankfurter, Douglas,
Jackson and Clark. Justice Reed
wrote a dissent in which Chief
Justice Vinson and Justice Black
joined. Justice Minton took no part.
The rulin'? -vas on an appeal by
Standard from a Federal Trade
commission order requiring me
company to stop selling to the job- j
hers at one and one half cents a '
gallon less than it sold to retail I
service (stations in Detroit.
Justice Rurton noted that the i
FTC had not made any findings j
as to Standard's good faith in cut-1
ling prices. The commission said I
it did not do so because it fe.lt
that even if the reductions were i
made in good faiih they were still ;
in violation of the Rouinson-I'at
man act.

ellen he plugged for his civil
rights .irogram: an anti-lynching
law, abolition of the poll tax, and a
Fair Employment PracBces com
mission. In his stale of the union mes
sage last year Mr. Truman said:
I again une the Congress to en
act tne t ivl rights proposals I made
in February, 1948." '
Significant Omission
This time neiher "urge" nor
"civi; rights" appeared in his
speech. He made nMique reference
to the subject in a single sen
tence: "We must assure equal
rights and equal opportunities to
all our citizens."
The Taft-Hartley labor law. ever
since the Republican - controlled
Congress passed it in 1947, has
Ijiisiiii'; it wide open.
A ni-nmise to wine it nut was
ione f tnr n,jn points in Mr. Tru-
man s campaign tor the presidency
in 1918. Kver since he has urged
its repe.-l.
Last year in his state of the union
message he called T-H a "puni
tive" laoor law and c lied on Con
gress to repeal it. Cong-ess didn't.
This lime iM r. Truman said ac
lion is needed to improve "our la
bor laws to help provide stable
labor-management relations and to
make sure that we have steady
production in this emergency."
Pension Hikes Unliktly
Last year Mr. Truman asked
Congress to improve social secur
ity benefits. Congress did.
This time Mr. Truman seemed
to be saying, although it wasn't
clear, mat old age pensions snouid
ne improved turtner.
This. loo. was handled obliquely.
But if Mr. Truman wr asking for
higher old a.ee pensions. Congress
isn't expected lo .espond.
And. while in the pasi Mr. Tru
man banned away at Congress for
a compulsory health insurance pro
gram, this lime he merely said:
"We still need lo provide insur
ance against loss of earnings
through sickness, and ajiajnst the
high costs of medical care."
Previously Mr. Truman had
asked Congress to provide federal
aid to education. This too had be
come a sore point.
Monday, he mentioned this sub
ject by saing something needs to
he done to aid "the states to meet
the most urgent needs of our ele
mentary and secondary, schools."
Then he hastened to add: "Some
of our plans will have to be de
ferred for the time being."
That phrase about rirferrin?
"some of our plan for the time
being" explained much of the soft
pedal Mr. Truman put on his "fair
deal."
For a little later he added: "In
the months ahead, the government
must give priority to activities that
are urgent like military procure
ment, and atomic ei ergy and
power rivelnpmert."
It seems accurate lo read into
this a simple conclusion: He's go-

Gl Bill Benefits
OREGON STATE COLLEGE
Veterans desiring to utilize their
GI educational benefits are being
reminded by Oregon Slate college j
officials that in accordance w ith
provisions of the CI Rill of Rights I
they must be enrolled in college i
for the spring term or semester,
or a summer session starting be
fore .luly 25, 1951, or forfeit fur
ther rights under the program.
This applies to both those who
have not yet taken advantage of
the Gl educational benefits and
those who have inlerupted their
training. Summer vacations, how
ever, are not considered as an in
terruption of training.
According lo word received by
OSC from Washington, a veteran
who is in college at the time he is
called up for service as a mem
ber of the reserves, or otherwise
is called into military service, is
not considered as having lost his
rights to further Gl benefits, pro
vided he returns to training within
a reasonable lime after release
from the armed services.
A person not in college at the
time he is called does, under pres
ent regulations, forfeit his World
War 11 educational benefits, how
ever. National educational authorities
have suggesled that veterans ex
pecting lo be called inlo military
service as reservists, or desiring
tn volunteer should not withdraw
from college between terms unless
actually reporting for lluty in that
period. They point out that veter
ans should keep a -lear record of
having been enrolled in education
or training at the time they were
called for service.
The American Council on Edu
cation, in a recent review nf induc
tion, deferment and postponements
of induction, said "students will
better equip themselves to serve
the national interest by remaining
in college lo complete this aca
demic year." The council said that
hearings on new legislation will not
begin until mid-.lanuary and that
the new legislation will not he
passed until well after the begin
ning of the second semester. The
present law makes postponement
of induction mandatory for college
student until completion nf the se
mester or quarter in which they
receive their call for induction.

SAN FRANCISCO lP) A tem
porary injunction restraining both
unions in a jurisdictional dispute
which has interfered with shipping
It seven Oregon ports has been
continued by federal district Judge
Michael J. Roche, "until I dispose
of Ihis case."
Judge Roche issued the restrain
inv order against the Independent
1'UcrnatioiUil longshoremen'.) and
Warehousemen's union and the
Al-'L Sailor, union of the Pacific
last Friday.
The unions have been hauling
for the right to handle lumber on
ships carrying so-called "unpacked
lumber" from southern Oregon
pcrts.
Norman Leonard, It.WU coun'-el,
protested Judge Roche's saying,
it was illegal to continue a tem
porary restraining order for m.ire

Last Friday's temporary injunc
tion was asked by Gerald A.
Brown, regional director for the
National Labor Relations board.
Brown told Judge Roche that a

Oregon porta because of the dispute.
