“Truman Wants
Socialism To Win
In Britain’*'
WASHINGTON, (/P>—President
Truman is taking for his 1950 po
litical line: The Republicans are
croaking about socialism to hide
their own “negative inaction.”
That brought new GOP challenges
today for a November vote test
of the issue.
Mr. Truman told a glittering
gathering of 5,300 Democrats at
the $100-a-planc Jefferson-Jack
son dinner here last night that the
Republicans just sit around wait
ing for the Democrats to propose
something.
“Then they react with an out
burst of scare words,” he said. To
the chuckling appreciation of his
steak-fed listeners, he added:
“They are like cuttlefish that
squirts out a cloud of black ink
whenever its slumber is disturb
«d.’’
The President called for full
speed on “our domestic programs
for health, education, social se
curity and economic stability.” He
said Republican charges that
these involve socialism “is an in
sult to the intelligence of the
American people."
“Now of course,” he said, this
program is not socialism. “It is
based upon firm faith in the
strength of free enterprise.”
“Confronted by the great rec
ord of this country and the tre
mendous promise of its future, all
they (the Republicans) do is croak
‘socialism’,” he declared.
Senator Taft (R.-Ohio), who
took a leading part in framing the
GOP campaign slogan of ‘^Liberty
versus Socilaism,” told reporters
that if Mr. Truman doesn’t know
his program is socialistic “he is
being hoodwinked by his ADA
(Americans for Democratic Ac
tion) and his CIO-PAC (Political
Action Committee) supporters
who have sold him most of his
features.”
“Police state economic controls,
price-fixing, wage-fixing, govern
ment operation of steel and utility
plants, the farm controls, social- '
izod and federalized medicine and I
repeal of the Taft-Hartley act
would duplicate here the program
of the Labor-Socialist government
in Great Britain,” Taft said, add
ing:
“No wonder Mr. Truman and
his friends are publicly praying
for a socialist victory in the Eng
lish election ”
Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
the GOP floor leader, challenged
Mr. Truman to carry his program
to the people in the November

Congressional elections — a move
the President already has said he
will take in what he called a non
political tour of the country.
Billed as the opening Demo

failed to hit the stride he main
tained in his whirling 1948 elec
tion campaign. Applause was fre
quent, but never uproariious.

Mediatory Hope
For Coal Strike
Settlement Soon
(By Sterling F. Green)
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Govern
ment mediators said today they
are “shooting for a settlement by
Monday” of the coal strike.
David L. Cole, chairman of
President Truman’s board of in
quiry. told a reporter a week-end
settlement is desired to stall off
possible contempt of court action
against the strikers.
The 370,000 miners have ignor
ed all this week an order from
a federal judge to return to work.
Cole said Monday is the target
for a return to work as John L.
Lewis and mine operators began
their third successive day of talks.
Hopes were high, because of a
secret, three-hour meeting held
last night.
At this session, wages and other
contract terms were reported to
have been discussed more realis
tically than at any time in the
past eight months of the coal con
tract dispute.
Cole asked each side to reduce
their representations to not more
than four persons. There have
been 20 representatives for each
side.
It was reported that Lewis has
thrown on the table a 14-point list
of demands. He made no flat wage
demand, it was said, but left this
open for settlement when other
points were agreed.
Lewis also has suggested that
the mine owners guarantee the
miners 200 days of work a year.
