Truman
To Address
Congress
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—(AP)—
President Truman will tell the na
tion about the “State oX_the union’’
Wednesday in a 30-mmute address
before the new 81St congress—and
even some Republicans seem in
clined to go along with his pro
gram.
The president’s speech, starting
at 1 p.m. (10 a.m. PST) will be
carried over the four major radio
networks.
Buoyed by a smashing victory in
their first test of strength on Cap
itol Hill yesterday, administration
officials looked for no such obsta
cles as blocked Mr. Truman’s leg
islative proposals in the Republi
can-controlled 80th congress -dur
ing the past two years.
House Speaker Sam Rayburn
(D-Tex) expressed this view with
dry humor to newsmen today. The
Texan, who relishes understate
ment, said he thinks Mr. Truman’s
recommendations will be received
by congress “with considerable fa
vor.”
Rayburn declined to predict what
President Truman will ask in his
annual message to the lawmakers.
He did indicate, however, some of
his own views on the controversial
topic of the Taft-Hartley law.
In his election speeches last fall,
Mr. Truman committed himself to
repeal of the Taft-Hartley measure
which has been so bitterly attacked
by labor leaders.
Rayburn predicted to reporters
today, in his first news conference
since he was elected to the House
leadership, that be believes Con
gress wil lsubstitute some new leg
islation for that law.
