SUBVERSIVES
BILL IS VETOED
BY PRESIDENT
(Continued from Page 1)
toss potential spies and saboteurs
into internment camps during war
time and other emergencies requir
ing use of armed force.
Criticizing the measure part by
part, Mr. Truman said that registra
tion of the Communist party itself
would not endanger traditional
liberties.
"However,” he said, "the applica
tion of the registration requirements
to so-called Communist-front or
ganizations can be the greatest dan
ger to freedom of speech, press and
assembly, since the alien and sedi
tion laws of 1798.”
Main Objections
These were main objections to
the bill, as he saw them:
1. It would aid potential enemies
by requiring the publication of a
complete list of vital defense plants,
laboratories and other installations.
2. It would require the Depart
ment of Justice and its Federal
Bureau of Investigation to waste
immense amounts of time and en
ergy attempting to carry out what
Mr.' Truman called the unworkable
registration provisions.
3. It would deprive the country of
the great assistance of many aliens
in intelligence matters.
However, the House showed its
mood and cries of "Vote! Vote!’
when copies of the message arrived
in the chamber. The House had
been marking time impatiently for
more than two hours awaiting a
chance to vote on overriding the
veto.

There still are no clues to the

Buying Rush, On
Time Payments, Is
Continuing, Report
(By Associated Press)
Retailers in many cities say the
buying rush, on time payments, is
continuing despite tighter require
ments invoked Monday by the gov
ernment. But the control agency—
the Federal Reserve Board has other
control powers they can use—and j
they may.
Right now officials concede the
public rushed to make their pur
chases before the change was made,
but they believe a modest restraint
will be enough to hold down infla
tion.
Another check, a reduction in the
growing expansion of bank credit
to business, may be called for to
help out.
