Opinion Varies On
President's State
Of Union Message
»By The Associated Press >
President Truman’s state of the
union message to Congress Wed
ne day has drawn a varying re
sponse of sharp criticism and
praise from a cross section of
American newspapers
Sample editorial comment:
Chicago Sun-Times: “Economic
democracy—an idea as old as
America, but one which demands
new applications for the 20th cen
tury America—‘hat is Mr Tru
nan’s message We believe he has
the people behind him in pro
claiming it.”
New York Herald-Tribune: Mr.
Truman’s proposals “do not total
up to a consistent economic or so
cial strategy, in terms either of the
‘planned economy’ or of the enter
prise system. Moderate as it is in
tone and at least superficially co
ordinated, it is still a ‘rag-bag’
message in the Truman tradition,
and its several parts will have to
take their several chances unsup
ported by any single, consisten*
view of the issues of our times.”
Philadelphia Inquirer: “It is
reasonable to interpret this mes
sage as an effort ... to reassure J
business that there will be no
reckless crack-downs. No blows at
the essence of our free enterprise
system.”
Chicago Tribune: “His legisla
te proposals are for the same
ruinous socialism that he advo
cated on the slump. . . . There are
enough intelligent members in'the
new Congress, it is fervently to be
hoped, to turn down most of Mr.
Truman's unsound proposals. If
there are not, the people of the
Uni ed States are in for a bad two
years.”
New York Times: “We do not
see eye-to-eye with the President
on the Taft-Hartley act” or “sup
port of farm prices . . . But—these
two points excepted—we find our
selves in agreement with the pur
poses at which Mr. Truman is aim
ing . . . Better housing, better
health, better schools, broader so
cial security, more areas reclaim
ed, as TVA has reclaimed one
mammoth valley — surely these
are all proper objectives ...”
Los Angeles Times: “He has de
manded more of Congress than
anybody could accomplish if it re
mained in continuous session
throughout his four-year term. . . .
If Congress takes him at his word
. . . , the nation is in for a tough
and disturbing time.”
LI. S. Denies Soviet
Charges
^Continued from Page One1
of 300.000 men by secretely ex
nandmg thc’r police force. He said
his estimate was based on reports
of Japanese and unofficial Ameri
can sources.
U. S. council representative Wil
liam J. Sebald quoted from a Mac
Arthur letter to Premier Tetsu
K/itayama in 1047 which recom
mended decentralization of Jap
anese police control and warned
that never again should it be per
mi ted to become a “police state.”
Sebald was supported by Bri
tish delegate Patrick Shaw who
told the Russians the present
strength of the police force was
no cause for alarm.
Derevyanko stoutly maintained
his position throughout the dis
cussion, declaring finally that Se
b a 1 d had not disproved his
charges.
Try To Bribe Team
To ‘Throw’ Game
NEW YORK, (TP)—The office of
New York district attorney Frank
S. Hogan announced that four men
have been arrested on charges of
attempting to bribe a member of
the George Washington university
basketball team of “throw" a game
in Madison Square Garden.
The announcement charged that
the men had tried to give player
Dave Shapiro a bribe if he helped
George Washington lose Tuesday
night’s game to Manhattan college.
The game was won by George
Washington, 71 to 63.
The district attorney’s office
identified the men arrested as Jo
seph Aronowitz, 35 of Brooklyn;
Philip Klein, 34, of Brooklyn: Jack
Levy, 40. of Miami. Fla.; and Wil
liam Rivlin, 43. of New York.
The district attorney’s office
said that this group had offered
Shapiro the sum of $1,000, half of
it for himself and half for another
player; if he would contrive to
have George Washington U. lose
the game by “about 18 points."
However, Hogan’s office said
hat Shapiro had been working in
cooperation with police officials
since Sept. 1 when he first “be
came suspicious” that he was be
ing offered a bribe.
Shapiro was instructed to pre
tend agreement to the plan and
the district attorney’s office that
his cooperation set the stage for
the arresst. Two of the men. Lavy
and Rivlin, were arrested while
a'tempting to purchase a plane
ticket to Florida.
