Truman's State of Union Speech
Termed Friendly, Conciliatory
STATE OF THE UNION—Was it a wiser or politically minded
President who delivered the state of the union message to the second
session of the 82nd congress? Was his conciliatory and friendly mood
dictated by the fact that 1952 is an election, year, or was it an effort to
consolidate the majority behind the defense program and the nation’s
foreign policy? These questions have been in the minds of every Ameri
can since the President’s speech.
For the first time in five years. President Truman, who is beginning
to show the strain of his years as chief executive, did not go all-out for
welfare-state legislation. He made
Bit clear, however, that he was not
abandoning any of the things he
has advocated since 1946. Rather,
he would have the country cone -
trate its full efforts to defense and
keeping economically sound.
In this respect he said the stabi
lization law was shot full of holes
at the last session and "it will be
one of the main tasks before con
gress to repair the damage and en
act a strong anti-inflation law’’
As for defense, he warned that the
situation in Korea remains danger
ous and that "the Soviet Union is
increasing its armed might.” The
world still walks in the shadow of
another world war. he said.
But his approach to taxation,
compulsory health insurance, civil
rights, and other controversial is
sues was so amiable that it left
PRESIDENT TRUMAN many Republican critics speech-
less. In fact. Republicans, who ob
viously were all set for a field day of criticism, found little about which
to demonstrate.
The main criticism, when it was all over, was the charge that the
speech was just a rehash of past messages Generally. Democrats
praised the message But from the opposition came such statements as.
"The same broken record ..” “The President’s speech could be charac
terized as follows: spend more, waste more, socialize more, give more
•way. control more, talk more, and blame the other fellow for all the
ills of the United States and the world ”
The fire and stubborn fight of the Truman of old was so obviously
lacking that it seemed almost apathetic to many home towners who
heard the address
PRODUCTlON— Production of civilian goods for the second quarter
of 1952 has been cut back sharply. Defense Mobilizer Charles E Wilson
announced the government has ordered home building slashed by 23
per cent for the months of April. May and June. Automobile output
was slashed by 7 per cent and other consumer goods using scarce mate
rials were trimmed 10 per cent.
This is the general picture for the second quarter:
Construction—Home building, now at a rate of 850.000 a year, will
be slashed to a rate of 660.000 Only factories vitally needed for defense
production will be built, and little material will be available for office
buildings, stores, and other commercial construction.
Autos—The industry will get enough copper and aluminum to make
800.000 cars and enough steel to make 900.000.
Civilian Goods —Most consumer goods, including refrigerators,
stoves, washing machines, television sets, and radios, will be cut by
about 10 per cent from the first quarter
Railroad Equipment—Freight car production will be reduced about
14 per cent below the 20.000-car output for the first quarter.
Roads—Only the most urgent road building will be permitted.
Ships—Allotments to the Maritime Administration will be increased.
TAX EVADERS— The Treasury department has launched a new
policy that should receive wide approval of the average home town tax
payer The Treasury will no longer let tax evaders escape criminal prose
cution if they voluntarily confess their fraud and pay up.
The department also took steps to speed up its prosecution of tax
evaders, including (1) Reducing the number of conferences with tax
payers about their cases, although taxpayers still will be heard when
necessary to develop actual facts; (2) The only persons who can repre
sent taxpayers in these conferences must have duly certified powers of
attorney to speak for the taxpayer
The new policies are expected to reduce the lag in prosecution from
an average of 292 days to about 100. it was estimated by the Treasury
department
PEACE TALKS— The Korean peace talks remain deadlocked over
the question of whether or not the Communists be allowed to build air
fields in North Korea during an armistice The Reds insist that any ban
on rehabilitation of combat airfields would infringe on North Korean
sovereignty by interfering in internal affairs On the other hand, the
United Nations says it will not make a peace that gives the Communists
the right to build up military forces and installations for further aggres
•ion
At home. Gen Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
reports he is hopeful for a workable truce in Korea, but there is one
price we won't pay- appeasement
CLEANUP— President Truman's long awaited plan to clean up craft
in government is under way. although it drew considerable fire from Re
publican critics
The President dropped his plan for a special commission ana nanded
the job to Attorney General McGrath Republicans immediately began
their criticism The general charge was that “a whitewash is coming"
'Hie President did not indicate how extensive the clean up measures
will go A number of administration leaders are known to want action
which would remove the corruption in government issue as far as pos
sible from the approaching presidential election campaign
Truman first asked Federal Judge Thomas F Murphy of New York
to head a cleanup commission Murphy withdrew before his appointment
could be announced officially What caused him tn change his mind has
not been made public

ST. IGNATIUS POST
THE
WASHINGTON
U.S. Isolation
MOST disturbing development in
the U.S.A, to members of the
Churchill party has been the growth
of isolationism in certain sections
British observers who see the Unit
ed States during periodic visits may
have an advantage in diagnosing
popular changes between those
visits. At any rate they compare
public sentiment today to that just
before Pearl Harbor when the Unit
ed States also was torn between
isolation and international participa
tion.
This, incidentally, appears to be
borne out by the Washington Merry
Go-Round poll of Republican candi
dates. At the start of this poll, Taft
chalked up his greatest strength in
the traditionally isolationist mid
west; Eisenhower his greatest
strength in New England, the South
and the Pacific Coast.
The poll, which is still con
tinuing, also continues to show
Taft strong in these areas. In
fact, the voting runs almost con
stant in regard to Taft strength
In the midwest, Eisenhower
strength In other areas.
RFC Chairman
Harry McDonald, to be the first
Republican head of the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporation in 19
years of Democratic rule, can be
counted on to carry on the forth
right policies of Stuart Symington.
As head of the securities and ex
change commission, McDonald vig
orously advised GOP member of
the RFC not to O.K. the controver
sial Texmass loan, warned them
that his SEC had not given Texmass
a clean bill of health.
McDonald, who believes the
public is entitled to know all the
facts about big financial deals,
used to run a Detroit dairy, was
supreme potentate of the Michi
gan Shrine, got to know Truman
because they are fellow shrin
ers, and took a mild shine to
Rita Hayworth when she visited
in Washington. He is a bache
lor.
Atomic Artillery
Though President Truman has
been opposed to exchanging atomic
information with England, one so
called atomic secret, which the
Churchill party has been told, is
that our much-ballyhooed atomic
artillery is not going to work mira
cles on the battlefield as some had
expected.
This is not exactly a secret, for
the American public will be told the
news later —namely, that atomic
artillery, while by no means a dud.
has been a military disappointment
In other words, while a lot more
powerful and deadly than conven
tional artillery, the new atomic
shells will not wipe out armies over
night.
Most significant result of the re
cent Nevada blasts was that am
mals staked behind near-by shelters
easily survived atomic artillery and
baby A-bombs dropped from fightei
planes This convinced U S observ
ers that troops in trenches or be
hind clumps likewise could with
stand an atomic raid. Thus, in
rugged terrain, atomic artillery
would be no more effective against
troops than heavy artillery now id
use
This means that the atomic
bomb could not stop the Chinese
Communists in Korea. By hol
ing up in caves or lying low be
hind rocks and ridges, they
could take terrific atomic
punishment.
Shell for shell, however, atomic
artillery would pack 100 limes the
wallop of TNT. would sweep clean
any military targets sticking above
ground
The new A-bombs also would be
most effective in retarding a Rus
sian invasion of western Europe by
tombing troop concentrations and
transportation centers along the In
vason route Both B-22-. and fight
er bombers are already being di
verted from the Air Force's tactical
and strategic commands for a spe
cial atomic air arm called retards
tion command
Atomic raiding along the invasion
route would he most effective
against air bases One atomic bomb
could wipe out an air base, flatten
parked planes, and level operations
buildings
Note—Our most powerful atomic
bombs will probably be used to blast
factories and military bases It has
been computed that one such bomb
packs more explosive power than
all the ordinary bombs so far
dropped in a year and a half of Ko
rean fighting.
