The Republicans have stated
outright or implied that the Tru-
man administration is responsible
for all of the nation’s $H«, Mr.
» .awfw® , ............ _
The American public apparently
1* about to witness one of the
bitterest fights ever to occur he-
tween a President of the United
States and the Congress.
President Truman heralded the
battle some weekp ago with verbal
assaults on the record of the Re-
puhlican-tontrolled 80th Congress.
But it was hot until early today
that Mr. Truman made clear the
lengths to which he is prepared
to go.
Mr. Truman showed his hand
while accepting ,the Democratic
nomination for President. His
strategy is obviously one of of-
fense. in his acceptance speech,
the President announced he was
calling tjie Congress back into *#*-
Truman* has said it.i* not. He
blames the Republican majority in
Congress with failing to remedy
the situation-—specifically as it ap-
plies to housing, prices and federal
aid to education. Then there is the
all-important civil right* question.
Actually, the Republican party
pledged in its own 1948 platform
to.tackle these problems. But Mr.
Truman has challenged the GOP
to prove itself now—not to seek
both legislative and executive con-
trol of the government on mere
promises.
To some observers, Mr. Tru-
man’s strategy appears to be one
of risk-all. If the Republicans dur-
ing their recall to work do approve
satisfactory legislation, they al-
most certainly would receive a
boost in public opinion.
But even concrete action will
give the Democrats ammunition
for their presidential campaign.
If Congress responds, Mr. Truman
will demand credit for urging them
to action. And if it rejects his
recommendations, Mr. Truman
demand credit for urging them to Uving. Mr. Truman has called on states may choose a separate can-
action. And if it rejects his recoin- Congress to act in this field by didate of their own—as they did

action. And if it rejects
mendations, Mr. Truman will use
this as a weapon against the GOP.
The Republicans* have now to
deride their-* battle plans—or—at
least to disclose them.
The Republican high command
has some able strategists of its
own. And they are pertain to try
to turn the tide against Mr. Tru-
man.
One point that undoubtedly will
be argued in the campaigns is the
Taft-Hartley law. Anti-Republican
factions have accused the Repub-
licans of adopting this legal de-
vice to enslave lnhor. But It ie
likely the Republicans will empha-
sise that President Truman invok-
ed the Taft-Hsrtley law to prevent
the disaster-threatening soft coal
strike. And that it also has been
and is being used indirectly in the
fighh against Communism here at
heme.
An even hotter argument may
ensue, however, over the cost of
granting him price control and ra-
tioning authority. Yet, Mr. Tru-
man himself described price con-
trols as methods of a ’'police
state.” The Republicans have cer-
tainly bean massing ammunition
of this type on their own. And we
will hear much of such Issues.
A majority of opinion seeifs to
be that this is simply a Republican
year and that the Republicans will
prove the victim in the balloting.
But many believe that any GOP
victory quite possibly will be
clinched by the Democrats them-
aelves. r'.'
Whereas the pepubllcans are
operating in apparent harmony,

If the Southern voters follow
