Truman And The Labor Bill There is widespread assumption that President Truman would reto the House Labor Committee's omnibus labor bill if the Senate were to concur in it, or In any revised version which approximates the controls and limitations which it would place on labor unions, What is the basis "for this assumption? Those who express it recall his veto of the mild Case Bill, and point to the political pressures gen era ted by the near approach of the 1948 presidential election. There are very few commentators who seem to think that Mr. Truman might the pending bill because It actually goes too far in provisions for '1 A mm i mu RED Wm curbing union excesses. Does this line of thinking do justice to the President? It is true that something over a year ago he was taking over the railroads to NOTICE break a strike which was paralyzing the nation, only to veto the mild Case Bill a little later, and that he "blew hot" again in backing if not actually nlanninc the strateev which broke John L. Lewis' strike against the government and brought contempt convictions of both Lewis and his miners' union- It is equally true that Mr.

Truman has usually been more pro-labor than pro-public in his pronouncements Talks by D. C. Beery, director of Instruction in Augusta County schools, and Dr. R. P.

Bell, Staunton surgeon, featured the meeting last night of the Fishers ville Rurl-tan Club. Discussing the planned school facilities at Woodrow Wilson Hospital, Mr. Beery pointed out hat Augusta Beery pointed, out that Augusta have worked out suitable arrangements with the War Assets Administration for taking over facilities and much equipment there for development of one of the finest educational programs, in the state. One-third of the installation, he declared, will be used for a comprehensive high school, taking into consideration both college preparatory work, and technical training for business and Industrial life immediately after graduation. Another third, Mr.

Beery said, will go for vocational rehabilitation in which physically handicapped whose applications are acceptable will have an opportunity to participate. Emphasis will be placed on rehabilitation of persons handicapped from birth as well as those handicapped by Injury or disease, he said. The final third of the hospital will be used for a regional vocational school In which will be given training for skills In small business, private business, technical trade, and other. "Augusta County now can discharge its obligation to its young people." the director of instruction declared. "The facilities are there, and their development is unlimited in possibilities.

Augusta County can lead the way in the state, or even in the nation, with this type of institution." Dr. Bell gave an account of the proposed new King's Daughters' Hospital, and in reminiscences of his boyhood traced the history 'of the Flshersville community development In relation to Staunton. He touched on the Hospital's origin, its growth, and its present needs. Dr. Bell was assured by the club president that a committee has already been 6et up in Flshersville in connection with the hospital campaign, and that although no official action has been taken, the Ruritan Club can be expected to do whatever is asked of it.

The Expansion Committee reported that it is endorsing moves to establish new clubs in adjoining counties, and sponsoring preparation of a ritual for Installation of Ruritan officers. The Rural Churches Committee reported that it will sponsor three fifth-Sunday services, at Bethlehem Lutheran, St. James Lutheran, and Olivet Presbyterian Churches, respectively. Beginning in May and continuing through the summer months, the club meet at 7:30 rather than at seven as previously. on labor questions, the notable exception having been his demand during the railroad strike for legislation which would enable him to draft workers In public utilities during time of peace.

One commentator lists the pressure groups forming in favor of veto or approval as follows: (1) the professional politicians and organization leaders, city and KROGER state, who will manage the party campaigns and seek to bring out the votes; (2) those who expect to be candidates on the major party tickets 1948, (3) the many Independents who will make their choice between the two presidential candidates on their attitude toward labor reforms; (4) the industrial, financial, social and labor elements THESE DAYS By George E. Sokolsky YOUR Federal Budgeteering Some of the expenditures of the federal government are beyond un derstanding. I take a group of re of the population who will be most immediately affected; and (5) the intimate counselors on whom the President relies. It will be noted that those pressures are almost wholly political in nature.

It will be a tragedy for the country if the fate of the pend- tag labor bill Is determined by political fears. The outlook is that the Senate will pass a "softer" measure than that of the House, and that the conferees will report a compromise bill which will not be sufficiently strong to break up the monopoly power of the labor leaders but will be a good start toward that goal. Would Mr. Truman veto such a compromise measure because he wants the union vote next year? Mr. Truman has grown in his grasp of the national and International questions with which he has to deal, and in courage.

His prestige and popularity have increased accordingly. There is good reason to believe that he would approve a strong measure to limit the gulatory agencies which produces no good and operates no utilities.

Against such loss, he must weigh the certainty of defeat at the hands of the general public If he refuses to approve legislation which it has plainly demanded. That demand should persist until a really strong bill comes throueh the Senate on a ha mm t.hrrmcrh tii.

It is now advisory to the War and Navy Departments, the Civil Aeronautics Authority and the aviation industry. It is principally a scientific aid to aviation. The question is, why must it be a separate organization with an expensive overhead? The Civil Aeronautics Board costs very little, an estimated $3,380,000 for 1948, and it is supposed to run commercial aviation as the ICC runs railroads and the FCC runs radio. So what does the Civil Aeronautics Administration, which wants in 1948, do? It is within the Department of Commerce and it seems.

to do about everything that the other two agencies do, except a little more. This agency costs a lot because of its program of airport aid, but why did it spend $51,030,000 in 1946 before it got onto that kind of business. At any rate, here goes a lot of our millions and I wonder if Senator Byrd has discovered whether every dollar spent Ls a dollar earned. (Copyright, 1947 King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Lofton LOFTON, April 21. Mr.

She is reported recovering nicely. Several cases of 'flu are reported in the community. Mrs. W. E.

A daughter was born this month the oldest regulatory agency in our government, in charge of railroads, buses, etc; the Federal Communications Commission, in charge of radio, telegraph and telephone; and the three aviation agencies, the Civil Aeronautics Administration, the Civil Aeronautics Board and the National Advisory Commitee for Aeronautics. Why it is necessary to have these three aviation agencies, it is hard to understand.

It seems to me, a layman but also a taxpayer, that one agency can do all of it. Certainly if the cost of the three agencies are totalled, it seems extraordinary high.

Mummert Myers has obtained a divorce from John L. Myers, custody of a 15-year-old boy going to the First Day Of One Way StAurrtonians and outsiders appeared to be getting along well with the one-way traffic system on the day of its inauguration yesterday. There were some snarls at the peak traffic hour late in the ifternoon, as was to be expected, but as familiarity with the system Increases, It should work smoothly. An augmented force of police was helping put the system into effect, and drivers were treated courteously and helpfully. The new Street markings were clear and well placed.

Experience may dictate the addition of a few signs and perhaps the relocation of a few of those already Installed, but at first blush it looks like City Manager Ancen and his subordinates have done an excellent preparatory job. If the new plan fails, it is likely to do so because of two-sided parking a feature which can be easily corrected if traffic is found to be too greatly Impeded by the movement of vehicles to and from the lefthand side of the street. One other factor which could defeat the system Is failure of the public to cooperate, but this is improbable be-caiae It is for the benefit of drivers and commercial houses and to fhelr advantage to make It work. Commercial loading areas have been generously marked off. a fact which should prove a boon to retailers, wholesalers, and service establishments.

What consumed that n.uch money in 1945 when the war wis over? How much of this is excessive payroll? How much of it is administrative waste? The outcry against economy In federal expenditures revolves about Jhe idea that every saving will eliminate some essential service of government. The question then arises as to what is essential.

They obtain this information either from friends in the department, from some one engaged in the work Of transporting and placing the fish, by watching out for the fish planting that they know is to be done before the season opens, or by surmise based on where trout were placed the previous year. Everyone who buys a hunting and fishing license has the right to know where the hatchery fish are placed, and to know it In advance of the season's opening. All who buy licenses help to pay for these fish. The department should not wait until after, the opening day to make its announcement, for most of them are caught within two or three days. The announced list of streams slocked indicates that the old practice of placing trout in some "wet weather" streams at the behest of tome persons having influence with the department has been abandoned.

Even though few of the 'hatchery-raised trout outlast the first few days of the fishing season, they should never be placed in streams which go dry, for a few may remain in the ever-flowing streams to spawn arid increase the native stock.
