President T r u m an appeared in peraon and delivered his message a fter the opening of the second ses sion of this 81st Congres last w eek. T he reception given the P resi den t when he en tered the cham ber und was presented was splendid. The m em bers of C on gress on both sides of tile aisle like Mr. T rum an personally, as th eir applause clearly indicat ed. However, w hat he had to say in his message was appluud- ed only very lightly I w atched tlie source of such applause as wus given d u rin g the speech. It cam e from a ra th e r sm all group of the D em ocrat side which I would identify as being the left- wing contingent of the present m ajority in Congress A size able m ajority of the Democrut m em bers und practically all of the R epublican m em bers ‘ sat on th eir hands" as th e a te r peop le say. Last you th in k I m ention this lack of applause for the messeae in a s p irit of hide- bound partisanship. I must p o in t out that m y com m ent* represent accurate observation and rep ortin g a* everyone who was present w ould testify. On the other hand, I consider the n atu re and e xten t of the ap plause an im p o rta n t fc seldom obtained in d icatio n of the gen e ra l a ttitu d e of the m em ber* of Congress to w ard the P res i dent's requests fo r legislation. In other words. I am now con vinced that most o f the D em o c rat mem bers of the House do not. in th e ir hearts, approve of the President's pro g ram but it w ill be surprising indeed if they vote against it. The ad m in is tra tio n in po w er can w ie ld a d is c ip lin a ry lash w hi ;h its p a rty m em b er* are in c lin ed to fear.
