As a present from the Junior
Red Cross of Jackson county
and clubs of Medford, a number
of bed patients at the Camp
White naval hospital are being
given the opportunity of mak
ing long distance telephone calls
to their families during the
Christmas and New Year holi
days. The gift was announced
during the Christmas Eve party
at the hospital.
So far calls have been com
pleted to St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Newark, N. J., East Patterson,
N. J., and St. Louis, the Red
Cross announces. The calls were
f not allotted by chance, social
workers at the hospital choosing
patients whom they felt would
be especially grateful for the
opportunity to talk with rela
tives at distant points.
Due to the congestion on tele
phone lines, the calls are being
spaced, and in many instances,
elaborate arrangements must be

Leaders to Press .
For Congress Vote
On Truman's Plan
Washington, Dec. 26 (U.R)
Congressional leaders agreed to
day to press for action on Presi
dent Truman's legislative pro
gram as soon as congress re
turns Jan. 14 from ita holiday
recess.
At the top of the list they
placed the president's request
for additional unemployment
compensation, universal mili
tary training, labor dispute fact
finding boards and merger of
the armed forces.
Prompt action also was ex
pected on legislation to rescind
some $51,800,000,000 In war ap
propriations. Congress passed
such a bill before the recess but
Mr. Truman vetoed it because of
a rider to transfer U. S. employ
ment service offices to state con
trol. Congressional sources believ
ed Mr. Truman would win his
first veto challenge to congress.
They felt the house might over
ride the president and again
pass the vetoed recission bill
but that the senate would sus
tain him.
