Mr. Truman'’s Fair Deal Goes
Way Beyond FDR's New Deal
BY PETER EDSON g
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—Near the end of President Tru
man’s message to the new Congress he said, “Every
segment of our population has a right to expect
from his government a fair deal.”
It the program which the President outlined was
his conception of a fair deal for every citizen, that
might be a good name ‘for the Democrats to try to
give it—“ Truman’s Fair Deal.” It certainly wasn’t
the old New Deal. It went way beyond anything
Franklin D. Roosevelt ever thought of. Also, there
were only a couple of points in the message that
the President hadn’t promised previously, during
his campaign. So it wasn't “new.”
The President brolge away from his text at one
point to mention that he had previously asked Con
gress to approve the St. Lawrence Seaway project
five times. There were a lot of other things in that
message the President has asked Congress for five
times or more. The convenient thing about the mes
sage is that here they are all wrapped up in one
package, with a check list. It's enough to keep the
81st Congress busy for its full two years.
PLENTY OF CRITICISM AHEAD
There will be plenty of politicians and others
who will claim that the Truman program doesn't
offer them a very fair deal, or that it is just a fair
deal-—not a good deal.
The President’s tax program, to raise another
$4,000,000,000 a year, will be criticized as “soaking
the rich” and “persecuting business’—phrases
which may have a familiar ring to some ears. The
President made no mention of raising taxes on
lower income brackets to offset the tax cuts made
by the last Congress, over Truman’s vetoes.
He listed so many separate items—some 60 in
all—that he didn’t have time to go into details on
all the issues he mentioned. Consequently, there
will be plenty of reading between the lines of his
message, trying to interpret what he may have had
in the back of his mind that he didn’t put on paper.
For instance, the President's new eight-point anti
inflation program picks up seven of the 10 points
he advocated in his message of a year ago. The
three points dropped are: 1. Authorization to induce
the marketing of livestock at weights which repre
sent most efficient utilization of grain. 2. Authoriza
tion to increase the production of foods in foreign
countries. 3. Authorization to put in consumer
rationing on products in scarce supply.
The other seven requests—for autherity to fix
prices,’ allocate scarce materials, control rents,
regulate credit and so on—are all back in again.
"The eighth point, which the President tacked on,
is one that will probably cause more discussion
than anything in the whole message. It calls for
an immediate study of production facilities for ma=-
terials in short supply. Then it asks authorization
to make government loans to expand production,
or for government construction of such facilities if
“action by private industry fails to meet the need.
This will probably be interpreted in some quar
ters as a direct threat that the President wants to
nationalize, say the steel, housing or electric powen
industries. That is perhaps an extreme interpreta
tion, for Mr. Truman says elsewhere that “the great
er part of the task must be performed by individual
efforts under our system of free enterprise.”
But it does throw a direct challenge to private
enterprise, If it doesn’t produce, the government
will, says Truman in effect.
There will be plenty of criticism that the goals
set by the President are too high. In housing, he
wants a million more low-cost rental units than
the 191,000 now authorized. Last year's Taft-
Ellender-Wagner bill called for only 500,000. Tru
man doubled it.
While the message seems to be plain spoken on
everything conceivable, a lot of issues weren’t men
tioned by name. When the President said domestic
markets for farm products should be expanded, he
may have meant something like revival of the food
stamp plan.
The President said he was still for the Civil
Righis program he advocated last year, withouti
naming the separate controversial points. Usually
only four are remembered—anti-poll tax law, anti-
Iynch law, abolition of Jim Crow laws and a
‘permanent FEPC. Actually, there are half a dozen
more: Home rule for the District of Columbia,
statehood for Hawaii and Alaska, citizenship for
~ Guam and Samoa, more self-rule for Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands, admission of Orientals to
U. S. citizenship, settlement of war claims by
Japanese-Americans, and creation of Civil Rights
offices in government. ;
" The cornea of the eye is the only tissue of the
human body without blood, .~ "
Rural Eiectrification And
Rur-al Telphone Service
It is d¢jubtful whether anything has
contribut @ more to the improvement of
farm life than rural electrification and
rural t alephone service. Fully half of the
farm “population of the United States is
now affordecd the blessings of electricity
which has made rural jife aftractive to
those who used to be deprived of what we
naw call the ordinary conveniences of
life .
The increased manufacture of imple
ments that enter into the pleasures and
conveniences of the farmer’s home have
made life on the farm much more pleasant
and attractive and has especially les
sened the burdens of the farm wife. Before
the coming of the telephone 'to the aver
age farmer’s home, that class of our citi
bens were almost entirely cut off from
easy communication with neighbors and
the outside world.
The growth of the telephone business
has been phenomenal. Five years ago the
Bell System projected a five year pro
gram'of extension of its rural service set
-ling as its goal the addition of one million
rurgl telephones throughout the country.
It: has reached its goal within three years
instead of five. The Bell System has pat
in rural telephones at the rate of more
than one thousand for each working day in
that period of time, three times as many
&8s had ever been installed by the system
during any comparable period of time in
ats history. And that has been done in
spite of a shortage at times in materials.
More than a million telephone poles had
to be secured and erected and at least a
half million miles of wire went into the
service, enough wire to stretch around
the world twenty iimes.
It is estimated that all the telephone
systems in this country are now serving 45
percent of the people of the United States
as against 82 percent three years ago and
20 percent two years ago.
The Menace Of Glaring
Automobile Headlights
The large increase in auomobile acci
dents at night is largely attributable to
glaring headlights and the failure of driv
ers to observe the law that requires them
to dim the lights When another automobile
is coming from an opposite direction.
Unless the glaring headlights are dim
med the driver of the approaching car is
almost blinded and if a collision is avoided
it will be largely a matter of luck. Yet, it
ig safe to say that more than half the
drivers of automobiles at night pay ng
attention to this law. Such neglect is not
worthy of being excused. Thousands. of
lives can be saved by the drivers paying
attention to the law. ‘
Of course the mere dimming of the
lights will not remove all the danger, but
it will remove the greater part of it. The
scientific experts of the big automobile
manufacturing companies are doing their
best through research to find some way
to furnish gadgets that will improve this
situation, but up to the present time in
ventive genius has accomplished very
little in this direction. The problem still
remains to get drivers to be more careful
in their driving and to dim the glaring
headlights whenever approaching another
car. That will cost some trouble, but auto
mobile drivers owe that much to the other
fellow. i
I'm sure the President will forgive
venial sins, as opposed to mortal sins. . . .
Mortal sin is one which kills the soul.—
Senator J. Howard McGrath (D) of Rhode
Island, Democratic National Chairman.
All over the world, nations are crying
for peace, and I believe this tank will
help to insure that peace.-—Mrs. George
S. Patton, jr., famed general's widow,
dedicating new tank named for him.
The farmer’s best friend is the well-paid
working man who turns out a full meas
ure of non-farm products and buys a big
volume of agricultural products—Albert
S. Goss, master of the National Grange.
I know of no one factor more import
ant to the future peace of the world than
food. The wrk which- FAO (the UN’s
Food and Agriculture Organization) does,
or leaves undone will have a great bear
ing on the history of the world. — Presi-

ECHOES FROM MEMORYLAND
~ e,
Once | Endeavoted To Learn How To Dance.
Very .few of those who havell
known me through my lift would|
imagine that I would ever have |
tried to learn how to dance. Well,
you can believe it or not for one|:
month during my first college days |
I did make that attempt and at|
the end of one solid month of!
strenuous effort and at the end of ||
that experience chalked up the}
whole thing as a complete failure,
After that I never engaged iry|
tripping the light fantastic toe. '
A young woman, named Miss{
Baratta had opened a dancing|
school in the second story of Pio-i‘
neer Hook and Ladder Company’slf
building on the corner of Jackson |
and Washington Streets and for|
the modest sum of five dollars per |
month engaged to teach young|
men how to dance. ‘
My college roommate, the late
Judge Nash R. Broyles, inveigled
me into joining Miss Baratta’s
class. Dollars were scarce with
me, but I did manage to scrape upi
the required fee of five dollars for
the months training. That téeok
~are of the month’s training and at
the end of that-time I had had
enough of the whole thing to last
me a lifetime.
Alas for poor Miss Baratta if her
other pupils proved to be as clum
sy as I was. If she had such things
as corns on her toes, she must have
suffered agonies before she got
through with me. I think she was
overjoyed when I told her I was
not coming back for a second
month of training.
I was an old-fashioned boy then
as I now am an old-fashioned man.
I never became enamored of the
dance. In my younger days I came
to regard it as contrary to my reli
gious convictions and even now,
in my older age, even though I
have softened up a point while I
realize that changing conditions
effect changes in the outlook one
has on various things in life, and
that the other fellow is entitled to
his beliefs, I am still not crazy
about the dance.
1 confess to the feeling I had
about the square dance, especially
the minuet. I regarded it as a
stately affair and most beautiful.
The present times call for no such
dance. It takes something full of
pep and rapid movement now to
satisfy the young people. l
Waltz Was Favorite
The waltz was the favorite dance
in those old days. It is danced
occasionally now, but is net in
the running with the modern
dances, the names of which 1 ean
not enumerate. 1 confess to often
being charmed to witness a beauti
ful waltz, provided the partners do
not dance so close together that
one could scarcely slip a sheet of

paper between their bodies. For,
in fact, the waltz, properly execut
ed, is the poetry of motion.
While not participating in any
dance, I have often attended
dances and on a number of oc
casions have served as chaperone
in my official capacity as a mem
ber of the University faculty.
. It 'alwavs gave me much con
cern at Woodruff Hall and other|
places where 1 saw such elaborate
;decoration with long, flowing red
and black paper ribbons some of
‘them almost touching the floor,
‘thus constituting a terrible fire |
‘hazard. For séveral years now
‘such decorations have not been al
ilowed unless the paper decorations
- weer placed beyond the reach of
‘any of the dancers so that the
‘careless lighting of a cigarette
might bring on a fire.
I confess that I have a fancy te
see the free and easy swing of the
dances, especially those held in
‘the mountain sections. The jollity
of such dances is realy contagious.
Sometimes they are danced
smoothly and with much grace and
at other times they get terribly
mixed up out on the floor. In such
dances, sometimes called ‘“Break
downs,” much ' depends on the
smoothness and activity of the man
doing the calling, of the different
figures, and measures of the dance.
1 have often protested against the
extravagance in providing music
for the college dances. The trou
ble is they pay more for the name
of the band than for the music it

furnishes.
I know that it is old-fashioned
and not favored by the young peo
ple, but the dance music of today
is largely a blare of noise, which
gives a lot of hilarity and excite
ment but is not really necessary
to direct the movement of the feet
back and forth in a narrow circle.
But enough of this talk about
dances. I have no regrets over my
failure to learn how to dance. I
do regret tramping on Miss Barat
ta’s toes, but poor lady, she is
probably dead and gone by now
and her experience with my clum
siness counts nothing with her
now. I have my old-fashioned
ideas about dancing and am not
apt to change them. But provid
ing the students do not waste too
much time on donces and conduct
themselves properly, let the
youngsters go in and have a good
time. All of them will some day
dance to more serious tunes, but
until that day arrives, I would not
deprive fthem of any legitimate
pleasure, even if my old-fashioned
mind might not approve of it.
