★ WASHINGTON COLUMN ★
No Telling Where US Would Be
Without Checks on Congress
?" BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
DPASHINGTON—f^EA)—With the record of the 80th Congresi now
practically completed, the veto messages of President Harry S.
Truman become worthy of attention. Since assuming the Presidency
in April 1945, Truman has vetoed more than 125 bills.
A score or more of these vetoes have dealt with major policy Ques-
tions. They range all the way from the June, 1946, veto of the post-
war QPA extension act, which gave Truman his first big battle with
Congress, on through the recent veto of the Reed-Bulwinkle bill to
sxempt the railroads from ami-trust regulation on rate-making agree-
ments approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
On.a number of important bills, Truman vetoes have been over-
ridden—repassed by two-thirds majorities of Senate and House—
and so~made law in spite of Presidential disapproval.
/ Truman's worst veto upset was on the Taft-Hartley labor law of
1947^ Democrats joined with Rt publicans to reverse the President on
this measure.
'PROMAN vetoed two tax reduction bills last year, but this year
Ckngres* overrode the tax cut veto. Democrats claim that, if
TrurVin had not vetoed the 1917 bills there would have been no sur-
plus fti the Treasury to justify this year's tax cut.
ThJ president bus twice vetoed bills to exempt news vendors from
social security coverage. On this year's bill to increase benefit pay-
ments to the aged and blind and to extendi social security coverage
to 3.500,000 more workers, Truman's veto Was quickly overridden.
The President's objection wi s that this bill did not go far enough.
Other important Truman vetoes include: A 1947 bill to raise the
tarifi on wool. A bill to subsidize marginal metal mines. A bill to
let the Congressional Atomic Energy Committee order FBI investiga-
tions. A bill to sell northwestern public lands. A bill to give the
States control over tidelands.
With a lot of li.jt-mmuft legislation rushed through Congress In
the closing sessions, there is every prospect that the President will
"pocket veto" mai>y me.i ures. Thi.; means that he will simply not
sign the bills within the 10 days after adjournment of Congress, thus
allowuig the measures to die.
ALL these vetoes, indicating the width of the split between the
President and Congress, revive interest in a proposal made by
Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, right after the 1946 election.
What Fulbright proposed was that Truman should appoints Repub-
lican as Secretary of State and then resign, permitting said Republican
to succeed to the Presidency, immediately.
FuRpght's idea was thf.t since the voters had indicated a desire
to cha&fee the political control in Congress, there should be a similar
change in the White House. This would let the same party control
both legislative and executive branches of government.
Truman showed no interest in carrying out the Fulbright sugges-
tion. If he had, he probably would have named Speaker Joe Martin
to succeed him.
Wit#'Joe Martin in the White House these past two years, along
with the present Republican Congress, the nature of what might have
happened can readily be guessed at, in the light of recent House action
Under^AIartin's leadership. European aid and the trade agreements
'would have been cut to tatters. Taxes would be further cut. The
Mundt-Nixoi. bill would have sailed through. There wouldn't be a
vestig<-of rent or anti-inflationary control. And sb on and so on.
All this is of course speculative! but important. It lends weight to
a belfefithat maybe the tounding lathers knew what they were doing
wherAhey set up the U. S. government with its system of checks and

HOLLYWOOD <U.R>—It's a (rood
thing: American business does not
ft-e' about established "names" the
way the movie industry does.
"If it did," says director Joe
Newman, "we'd still be drinking
Moxie, washing with Pear's soap
and driving a Stanley Steamer."
Newman said the American pub-
li-: didn't refuse to buy Palmolive,
for instance, after it had got used
to Pear's.
"But movie producers still in-
sist people won't buy a movie with
Ji.hn Jones after they've gotten
used to Clark Gable."
What was Guble once, he in-
quired? Just as strange as a home
permanent used to be. ,
"I know. I tried to sell him,
Newman said. "Nobody would give
| Clark Gable a movie test. And
now, with Gable getting -gray
atound the edges, it's eien a tough
er fight to get a test for some
other good - looking guy that no-
body knows —yet."
Newman, who has worked 22
years in the movies since he start-
ed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as
a lfi-year-old messenger boy, gave
the first good breaks to Esther
Williams, Van Johnson, Marsha
Hunt and Jane Clark. During his
war service he turned up amputee
Harold Russell and Wendell Corey.

Chippy, the pet robin, is Dick Miller's severest critic when the
Atlanta. Ga„ youth practices his music lessons. The bird was
blown trom a tree in the Millers back yard during a windstorm,
and is now Dick's Inseparable companion. But, if the 10-year-old
hits a sour note. Chippy gives him a cotd stare.
