Truman And His
Congress 4Working
Together’
WASHINGTON, (A*)—President
Truman today denounced “trouble,
makers” who talk of a rift be
tween him and the Congress. He
said he and Congress are “working
together” for the good of the
country.
In an address to the United
States conference of mayors, the
President also made a blistering
new attack on the “real estate lob
by.” He said it is opposing his
housing and rent control program,
and is “the real enemy of the
American home.”
This “lobby” won’t succeed, he
declared, and predicted passage of
his housing program, complete
with public housing and slum
clearance.
“It seems that whenever I make
a recommendation to Congress,
many newspapers and columnists
set up a howl aboufc the President
trying to dictate to Congress,” Mr.
Truman told the six hundred ma
yors of major cities.
“And then if the Congress
makes any decision that varies at
all from my recommendations,
these same trouble-makers start a
gleeful chorus about how the Con
gress has thrown the whole Demo
cratic program overboard.
“Of course, I differ with the ac
tions of the Congress on some
points, and where these differ
ences are important I shall con
tinue to urge the course I think is !
right.
“But basically the Congress and
the President are working togeth
er and will continue to work to
gether for the good of the coun- (
try.
“We are going to agree on a lot
more things than we disagree on.
And when the final score for this
Congress is added up, some of the
selfish pressure groups are going
to be pretty badly disappointed.
Try To Sidetrack
Pension Bill
WASHINGTON, f/P) —Congres
sional foes of the multi-billion
dollar Rankin pension bill Satur
day primed a drive to sidetrack it
for a less costly substitute.
With the controversial bill of
fered by Rep. Rankin (D.-Miss.)
scheduled for consideration in the
House tomorrow, Rep. Huber <D.
Ohio) disclosed plans to amend it
drastically by:
1. Limiting pension benefits at
this time to veterans of World
War I.
.2. Establishing financial need
as a requirement for eligibility.
| 3. Requiring honorable dis
charge from the service.
I 4. Extending increased benefits
to disabled veterans.
Huber, unofficial leader of the
1 anti-Rankin bill forces in the
House, said his substitute propos
als “will be a great deal less ex
pensive and more fair and equit
able to the veterans.”
! The Veterans of Foreign Wars
Friday called on its membership
to support the Huber plan.
