Truman Ready To j
Fight For “Fair
Deal” Program
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman, outwardly happy and
scrappy, evidently was ready to
day to renew battle with the new
and old Congresses for his ‘-fair
deal” program.
On the political front, Mr. Tru
man discounted the election vic
tories of Republicans, reiterated
his backing for Secretary of State
Acheson, refused to back-track on
his controversial domestic pro
gram and dodged questions about
whether he may run again.
The President told his first
post-election , news conference he
expects the lame duck session of
Congress meeting Nov. 27 to ap
prove an excess profits tax, an
other big chunk of military appro
priations, statehood for Alaska
and Hawaii and an extension of
rent controls.
Almost nobody m Congress—in
cluding his own legislative lieu
tenants—shared Mr. Truman’s op
timism on this score.
The President said he was not
calling Congress back early, as he
had said he might do, because the
request for more funds to finance
the fighting in Korea and the na
tion’s military buildup still is be
ing whipped into shape.
There was every sign that Con-j
gress would approve any such
measure. i
But Senate action is doubtful

on any excess profits tax bill that
might be passed in the House

Red China Rejects
India's Protest
NEW DELHI, India, (£>)—Com
munist China has brusquely re
jected a second Indian protest at
the military invasion of Tibet, an
official government spokesman
said Saturday.
Peiping’s reply to an Indian
note calling the use of force;
against peaceful Tibetans an un
, warranted act further endanger
ing world peace was received Fri
day.
Red China declared India had
no right to “interfere” in what the
communists consider an internal
Chinese affair.
The answer placed before Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s gov
ernment a tough decision—whe
ther to firmly support the Tibetan
neighbor’s charges of Red Chinese
aggression now before the United
Nations, or try to sidestep the is
sue to cling to a neutral position
in East-West world politics.
f
early in December. Senator Taft
of Ohio, who heads the Republi
can policy committee, has said he
doesn’t believe any action will
come in the short session.
Chairman Maybank (D.-S. C.)
already has predicted that the
Senate banking committee won’t
act on rent control extension in
the lame duck session. Controls
are due to expire Dec. 31 except
in communities which take posi
tive action to extend them for six
months.
