Asked by Truman
WASHINGTON, Jan; 4-iAVRepublican cries against "socialism"
and new taxes; greeted President Truman's message to congress on
. the state of union today.
Democratic! supporters praised the president, they said he pointed
the way to lasting peace and mounting prosperity. I
But democrats to general reacted cautiously to Mr. Truman's re-
Quest tor a "numerate amount" or
new. taxes. Democratic tax leaders
called for cuUj in spending. And
southern democrats balked as ex
pected at the president' civil rights
-program. , -
With prepared statements and
verbal comments to reporters,
members of congress gave a pre
view of battles to come, in the new
session and at 'the polls next fall.
More than 100 house republicans
signed a statement by Rep. Martin
of Massachusetts, their party lead
er, declaring the United States is
being "taxed into, socialism."
."In the broadest view, this
statement said, "the president has
again given notice that he is whol
ly committed to the eventual so
cialization of America and elimin
ation of the traditional American
competitive system which made
this nation the greatest on earth."
The house , republicans declared
Mr. Truman's message also gave
notice to housewives, working men,
farmers and business men that
, 'there is no hope at any time in
the foreseeable future" for tax re
lief and government economy. I
On the other hand democratic
leaders found much ; to praise in
j the message. I '
"It Is a courageous message con
sistent with President Truman's
leadership," said Rep. McCormack
of Massachusetts, the house demo
era tic leader. "Internationally, it
' shows his determination to stop
communism and aggression; from
the domestic side, the strengthen-
': lng of the family life of America."
Senator Lucas of Illinois, the
democratic senate leader, called the
message an eloquent expression of
the president's "humanitarian phil
osophy.
Senator .Taft (R-Ohio)
men ted:
. "The president's message Is mild
In tone, but most of the socialist
handout program is vstiil to be
found in the very innocent sound
. log language., It reminds me of
; that quotation from Byron, the
mildest mannered man that ever
scuttled ship or cut a throat.' .
"The message is full of incon
sistencies. J t expands on the ex
traordinary results in this country
of liberty and a free system at the
same time that it advocates mea
sures which wouKI destroy free
dom "Special privileges to labor
'union bosses, the compulsory me
dical plan, the Brannan farm con
- trols and increased taxes." I
. Senator, Hlckenlooper (R-Iowa)
said the message reminded him of
the words of the air corps, song
-Off we go into the wild blue
yonder." V
The republican senate leader,
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, rip-
ped into the president for .seeking
"more back-breaking taxes to car
ry forward his program of spend-
thrift socialism." . . ! !
Wherry also attacked adminis
tration policy In the Far East, de
claring: '- j ;
"For the embattled Chinese peo
ple and other Asiatics under the
communists' heel or threatened by
it, the president is woefully silent
and apparently determined to go
forward with his blundering Far
"East policies that please the com
munists." - I '

Brannan Bill
Okeh Sought
By President
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-(Ph-
President Truman set the stage
today for a strenuous battle for
the farm vote in this year's con
gressional i elections by calling
upon congress to pass the contro
versial Brannan farm programs
Few farm leaders including
those in the administration camp
expect the present congress to
adopt, the j plan. But most of them
took the view that the president's
recommendation laid the ground
work for a campaign to win elec
tion of lawmakers committed to
passage of the Brannan proposal
at a later session. -
Outlined last year by Secretary
of Agriculture Brannan, the ad
ministration proposal would P pro
vide generally higher farm price
supports than does present law.
It also would set up a new
method of supporting farm in
come. Surpluses of perishable
products would be allowed to
move into markets at natural
price levels. The government no
longer would buy up and remove
from the market a part of the
supply in an effort to keep prices
from dropping below guaranteed
levels. But if the prices went be
low a predetermined fair level,
the .government (meaning the
taxpayers)! would pay the farm-1 spending figures
. -

ers the difference.
By Francis J. Kelly
WASHINGTON, Jan.
President Truman will-ask for fa
little above $42,000,000,000" ko
run the United States next year.
House Speaker Sam Rayburn said
today, j 'i I
Spending in the present fiscal
year, which ends June 30, is of
ficially estimated at 343,500,004),
000. This government'sincome now
Is running about $38,000,000,00 a
year, j 1 - j
Rayburn, a White House insider
by personality as well as position,
let out the prospective budget total
at a news conference shortly before
the president delivered bis sUte
of the union message in person jto
a joint session of congress.
In that address, Mr. Truman
coupled a broadly phrased request
for additional taxes with a warn
ing against "crippling" cuts in the
budget i for fiscal 1951 which he
will present next Monday.
. Rayburn estimated that next
year's budget would be about $1,
800,000,000 smaller than this
year's, although that figure did riot
appear ! to jibe with Mr. Truman's
latest revised estimate of current
spending". It is possible that the
speaker had in mind the total jof
appropriations and contract au
thorizations for the year, rather
than the actual expenditures which
budget : accountants customarily
use as their base. 4
Reaction to the president's re
quest for more revenue was swift
although hardly surprising in an
election year congress. j
Republicans predicted promptly
there will be no tax hike this year.
Lawmakers in bohth parties pre
dicted that congress will cut the

Empire Dock Collapses,

COOS BAY, Jan. 4 -(A9)- A por
tion of the Coos Bay Pulp Corp;
marine loading dock at Empire
collapsed today, dumping about
1.000 tons of pulp and a new auto
mobile into the water.
The pulp was valued at about
$75,000 but some of it may be sal
vaged. Damage to the dock was
estimated at $50,000.
Bid to Repeal
Taft-Hartley
Bill
Repeated
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 -(JP)-President
Truman called anew to
day for repeal of the Taft-Hartley
law, but in such muted tones as to
indicate he does not expect con
gress to react any kindlier now
than last year when the lawmakers
spumed his plea completely.
He laid greater stress, instead,
on a broad labor program to deal
with such problems as unemploy
ment, social security and welfare,
general health and medical care
and an educational plan to foster
sound labor-management rela
tions. '
In his state of the union mes
sage, the president had this to say
about the Taft-Hartley law:
"This statute is and always has
been inconsistent with the practice
of true and effective bargaining.
It should be repealed and replaced
by a law that is fair and in harm
ony with our democratic ideals."

Deride Speech
By Charles D. Watklna
A P Special Washington Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-W)-Five
of the six members of the Ore
gon congressional de'egation call
ed President Truman's state of the
union message today "the same
old stuff" but Senator Morse (R
Ore) praised it
, Senator Cordon (R-Ore) said it
was "old hash with a new accent
to make it taste new."
Rep. Ellsworth (R-Ore) said it
is exactly the same old story de
manding more and more spending
and seeking to turn our free con
stitutional government into a con
trolled socialist state."
Rep. Stocknan (R-Ore) com
mented that the president promis
ed federal favor "for all organized
groups of two -or more people in
this country and the rest of the
world."
Rep. Norblad (R-Ore) said the
president . "spoke at great length
in vague generalities." (
"The president," he added, "is
certainly continuing his program
for the welfare state and if that is
adopted I think we had better, re
verse the syllables and make it
farewell state."
Rep. Angell (R-Ore) said, there
is nothing new In the speech. I
doubt that he has any ambition to
see enacted most of the programs
he recommended because he knows
our finances will not permit"
Morse said "If we are to be fair
we must admit that the main em
phasis of his speech is sound."
- "As an American I think he is
right in his consistent insistence
upon placing human values above
materialism."
Morse said he disagreed with the
president about enactment of the
