It is more than a boast, more than a slogan. The Key-stone state is so varied in cli-mate, scenery, industries and occupations that it defies articulate and coherent de-scription. Whatever your in-terests, your plans, your am-bitions or hopes, listen to the story of Pennsylvania. Are you interested In American history? Start at Independence hall In Philadelphia, the Cradle of Lib-erty. Wander through the streets where Benjamin Franklin lived and worked and helped create a united nation. Or travel to Gettysburg where the greatest battle of the Civil war was fought. Visit Fort Necessity, near Uniontown, the scene of Washington's first battle, in 1754, when he was commander of the colonial troops. See the mu-seum at Valley Forge, formerly Washington's headquarters during that cold winter when the colonies' hope was at its lowest. Go to Gen-eral Braddock's grave near Farm-lngto-or to the Old Blockhouse at Pittsburgh. Swing up to Erie to see the Niagara, Commodore Per-ry's flagship In the battle of Lake Erie In 1813.

From early spring until late autumn the Pennsyl-vania hills are among the most beautiful in the world. originated by Penn and remain in the state constitution to this day. The United States was born on Pennsylvania soil. The articles of confederation were adopted in Phila-delphia; the Declaration of Inde-pendence was written and signed there; the treaty of peace which ended the Revolutionary war was ratified in that place, and later the constitution of the United States was formulated there. The Commonwealth has built its industries largely on basic ele-ments. It produces nearly half the steel of this nation, shipping It to all parts of the world. The greatest metal production ever attained at one locality is at Pittsburgh. The bituminous coal annual output aver-ages approximately 100 million tons, while anthracite averages over 51 million tons. The Commonwealth produces high-grad- e petroleum, iron ore, pig iron, steel for rails and structural purposes, lirne, slate and other metals and minerals. A list of products manufactured in Penn-sylvania would fill a bookl Traditionally progressive, the peo-ple of Pennsylvania offer you a warm welcome to visit their state. Seeing is believing! Mountains, Lakes, Forests. Vacation? Sports? First of all, you'll like the famous Pennsylvania Turnpike and the other smooth high-ways of Pennsylvania. There are mountains and valleys, rivers and streams. Pennsylvania has 200 siz-able lakes for boating and water sports with Lake Erie thrown in for good measure! You'll find trout streams and lakes for fishing, and Mount Davis in Somerset county with its 3,213 feet for you to climb. The "Grand Canyon of Pennsyl-vania" (Pine Creek Gorge) at Wellsboro, or Pymatuning lake and wild waterfowl refuge In Crawford county, should thrill you. There are picnicking and camping sites by the hundreds, old trails to follow, and 6.500 acres of virgin timber In Cook Forest state park. These are but a few: others can be found in every nook and corner of Pennsyl-vania's 45,000 square miles of beauty. Are you an industrialist? Then you'll want to investigate the great coal fields, like those at Scranton, or look into Pennsylvania's billion-dolla- r textile business. The steel mills at Pittsburgh with their blast furnaces roaring should tingle your blood. And don't forget to see the site of Drake oil well, Titusville, where petroleum, the black gold, was first struck in the United States. Everywhere you go you'll see a fac-tory, a mine, a great industrial plant. You're a farmer? Lancaster coun-ty, Pennsylvania, ranks second in the United States In income from farm products! Just remember that the thrifty "Pennsylvania Dutch" knew how to till the land, and their grandchildren do too! Big barns, fine houses and well-tille- d fields like those in Franklin county will tell you more than words. The Penn-sylvania landscape is dotted with farms and the big city markets are right at hand. Pennsylvania farmers do not have to ship long distances to And a place to sell their crops, their livestock, poultry or dairy products. The Commonwealth leads in the production of buckwheat. Other Im-portant crops are winter wheat, rye, oats, corn, potatoes, tobacco, ap-ples, peaches, pears and grapes. Many Colleges, Universities. Schools?

Truman Labors Under F JJ New Deal Inheritance' Congress Scon Taking Advantage of Presi- - 7BH dent's Rightist Leanings; Lacks Influ- - ijrjfcgW ence of FDR to Put Policies Over. BBS' mamSmmsM By BAUKHAQB New3 Analyst and Commentator, fort (begun by Theodore Roosevelt) to try to house the office work of the President under the roof of "the President's House," but I mention this controversy simply because it reflects the seamy side of White House-congres- s relations. Many of the President's friends feel that trying to make & modern office out of a beautiful old American colonial residence is folly, but they also felt that much of the furor raised in congress was due to a desire to em-barrass Mr. Truman. Why can't Truman get on with congress? Perhaps because he is a little too much like them. This Is merely a hunch but I am not the only one who has toyed with the idea: both congress and the Presi- - dent (I realize that "congress" is a loot term because the legislators are a collection of many men of many minds) inclines farther to the right than the Inherited Roosevelt program is targeted. Congress, the part of it that knows Harry Truman well, undoubtedly feels that his heart leans just about as far In the same direction. Therefore, he Just can't get these more leftish Ideas WNU Service, 1616 Fye Street, N.W., Washington, it C. It was a cool, crisp winter day. A week before the erratic Wash-ington weather had seduced a whole circle of credulous pansies which pushed their startled faces up from the garden on the White House lawn. Poor bemused flora! They were soon frozen as solid In their beds as the President's labor legislation In congress. We hurried along Pennsylvania avenue, our coat collars turned up. arguing heatedly as newsmen do when they are released from the in-hibitions which seize them the mo-ment they sit down and meet the solemn stare of their typewriter keyboards with that threatening noose, the deadline, tightening about the medulla oblangata. "The most astounding thing," said one of us, "is the way Truman, with all his experience in congress, can't get along with It. If he would only buttonhole some of the thinkers in the opposition, say Vandenberg In the senate and men like Wollcott in the house, and appeal to their ense of patriotism, he wouldn't have all this trouble." across. Harry Truman has a tre-mendous respect for the office of the presidency, a deep feeling of duty to carry out the program which death placed In his hands a duty and a function he never sought. He can-not toss this heritage into the dis-card. And he probably reasons that If he feels that responsibility, the members of the party should do like-wise. But It must be remembered that it was the powerful influence of a personality which could win an election four times, a task no American had dared to attempt even for the third, which kept con-gress obedient and even then, to-ward the end, only falteringly. "It Un't as simple as that," In-terrupted another, as we paused to how our photographic passes to the guard at the gate (whe haa known us all by our first names for a dec-ade but who always solemnly stud-ies our cards as If they were ali-ases). "It Isn't as simple as that. After all, congress has to be realis-tic In an election year. They are facing real Issues. And the Presi-dent's program isn't realistic." "Whether or not It Is realistic," the third member of the group put in, "after all it isn't his program He Inherited it. It's New Deal and the New Deal is Old Hat now It doesn't represent Harry Truman'n Ideas at all but he has to go through with It." All I felt I could add to those sage observations, without agreeing th.it the New Deal was Old Hal or the latest Downing Street model, wheth-er it was realistic or modernistic or was that it cer-tainly is probable that if the Presi-dent were able to shatter his In-heritance to bits and then remould It to something nearer his heart's desire, he could probably put a lot more pep into his selling talk to con-gress. By this time we were adding our coats to the huge pile of garments on the great Aguinaldo mahogany . table in the lobby of the executive offices and taking our place in the line outside the conference room. Truman Reveals His True Self On this particular day of which I am speaking, I think we heard Tru-man revealing his true self. He be-lieves that the White House should be enlarged. He resented the op-position which he suspected was at least in part personal and political rather than the product of sincere conviction. I thought I heard that in his voice. But I also think I heard in his words, a similar expression of his own philosophy, when he said that he thought the present industrial strife was a struggle for power be-tween labor and management. In other words that basically it was not the demands of the men who work for more pay nor was it an objection on the part of industry to pay higher wages, as much as it was a pitch battle between labor leaders and the top men in manage- - ment to see which could beat the other down. To one who brags about being middle-class- , without even a drop of blood of an Irish king in his veins, it sounded like good, sound (call it stuffy if you want) middle-clas- s re-sentment. Then the President add-ed that he thought that both labor and management had too much power and it was'time'for the gov-ernment to step in and assert the power of the people which govern-ment is supposed to represent. But when we asked the President if and how the government was go-ing to assert itself to exert the "pow-er of the people" to settle the mess, all he said was that he had done all that he oossiblv could do. Resentment Shades Chief's Feelings On this particular day the Presi-dent started off with the note on which the whole conference was carried. I don't quite know how to describe it. He kept smiling. He didn't lose his temper. But there was just a shade of resentment in his voice and his words. It all sounded more like the later, some-what disillusioned days of his prede-cessor, than the merry moments when a Roosevelt interview was al-ways a good show as well as a news-fu- l event I mean the early days be-fore the weight of war descended upon FDR's wearying brow. There is a weight on Truman today quite as heavy, for peace has its mis-eries as well as war. Just as it was freely predicted that "the Unit-ed States will never stand for an oc-cupying army for any length of time" (which proved to be so pain-fully correct), so everyone took for granted that any President in of-fice when the war ended would have an impossible job. But let's get back to the crowded office of the President on the win-ter day I am describing. He sat there smiling, exchanging wise-cracks with the men in the first row. On the table behind him were the photographs of his family, crowned with a great bunch of Jon-quils from the White House green-house. He looked cheerful enough. The usual signal "all in" was sound-ed. He stood up and began to talk about what he called a "tempest in a teacup" the controversy over building an addition to the White House. Personally I think it Is the height of folly to continue the ef-- He could have called out the army and the navy, the national guard, the FBI and the United Marching and Social Clubs, and tak-en over the steel industry the next day. But a step like that, which was no more than the wave of a tapering cigarette holder yesterday, was one which no cautious middle-clas- s, middle-wester- middle-of-the-roa- d American would like to take except under duress. (I say that as one such.) And so congress:, part of it respond-ing o the pressure of management and part of it under the pressure of labor, fiddles and filibusters while Industry contentedly lives off its fat, labor on union funds or relief and the "people" with all their alleged "power" wonder how long, oh Lord, how long! 9jg little Known Stories About Well-Know- n People: The current March of Dimes cam-paign recalls a delightful story about a grand lady: A New York merchant once approached FDR I mother at a banquet and offered to contribute $500 to the Warm Springs Foundation if she would pose for a' picture with his mother. Sarah Roosevelt replied she would be will-ing to pose even if he didn't con-tribute any money. . , The mer" chant then said he would give $1,000. ... "And now," he added. "I'll bring my mother over here. She is 92, and this will be the biggest thrill In her life." "In that case," said the Mrs. Roosevelt, "I'll go to her, I'm younger." While working as an editor for several leading magazines, Theo-dore Dreiser wrote a fabulous amount of wonderful wordage short stories, poems, plays, essays, social studies and novels, Including, his most famous work, "An Amer-- j lean Tragedy." In '27 he visited the Soviet Union as a guest of the government. When he stopped in, England on his way back, Mr. Churchill asked him, "Well, what do, you think of Russia?" "I told him," Dreiser said to Bobj van Gelder), "that I thought It was, a wonderful country, a wonderful system." "Nonsense," Churchill said, "It won't last seven years." Decades ago, Clarence Darrow, the famed lawyer, was the principal speaker at a woman's club. After his address he found himself in with a few ladies who in-sisted on discussing birth control, "Mr. Darrow," said one, "what do you think of birth control for the masses?" "My dear lady," replied the fa-- 1 mous man, "whenever I hear people discussing birth control, I always remember that I was the fifth." The late George Norrls made a speech In which he pointed out that mankind's scientific and mechanical progress hasn't prevented the bar-barism of war. . . . "We have wars," said Norris, "because the human race has learned how to Improve everything except people." Neatest comment on Elsenhow- - er's outline of demobilization plans came from one of the boys on the GI Liberation Committee in Paris. Gen. Ike had told Congress: "When you see firemen playing checkers In the flrehouse you don't send them home because there's nothing to do. And It's the same in Germany. The soldiers may be sitting around with nothing to do or so they think. But their presence there Is very neces-sary." "Mebbe so," said the soldier (who'd been told five times of a sail-ing date, only to have It changed), "but even a fireman gets disgus-tedwhen there are nothing but false alarms!" This is a Mark Twain tale we haven't come across before. . . . When Mark was at the height of his career he informed a friend: "It took me ten years to discover that I had no talent for writing." "And you gave it up?" "Oh, no! By that time I was too famous!" "As long as we're on puns," adds Frank Case's son, Carroll, "the win-ner and still champion is old Sam-uel Johnson, who was approached by a would-b- e wit In the Mermaid Tavern (the Algonquin of its day). The wag said: 'Now admit It, Sam; the only reason you don't like puns is that you can't make them.' ... To which Johnson punned: 'Sir, If I were pun-ishe- d for every pun I shed, I'd have no puny shed In which to rest this punish head.' " ..T.hat reminds us of our pet pun. "A pun," someone said, "is the lowest form of wit, pun my soul it Is!" Quotation Marksmanship: Doro-thy Dix: Drying a widow'i tears Is one of the most dangerous occupa- - tions known to man. . . .

When Winston Churchill debarked from the Queen Elizabeth In N. Y. recently a reporter asked why he wasn't going to defend British pol-icy in Palestine at the Garden's "That We May Live" rally. "I'm only going to vacation here two months." he replied. The reporter observed that most U. S. pollticos are lucky to vaca-HO-one month.
