President Truman, who obviousman ly regards himself as the was tossing some with a mandate, not too subtle threats toward congressmen inhospitable to his legislative proposals. Keep fooling with me, be said. In effect, and Ill hit the old stump again and you know what that means. The President meant that if congress didnt set about soon enacting into law the pledges he made to the people during the November campaign, hed hit the trail again and take the issue to the people the way Franklin D. Roosevelt used K i VA? f AJf elections. Not having the vocal equipment of his predecessor, who could get desired results with his "fireside chats, Mr. Truman would have to climb aboard a train if he wanted to influence the masses. Strangely enough, congress didnt at the seem unduly perturbed Presidents threat Things went along in congressional procedure about as usual, with Republicans charging that the Slst congress Is also a "do nothing congress, while Democratic members were Inviting comparison with the "do 80th congress. nothing IT WAS READILY evident that Mr. Truman was needled by lack of congressional action on his program. Reiterating his campaign pledges of last fall. In which he declared the central Issue was the welfare Of all the people," Mr. Truman asserted that lobbyists, pressure groups, and controlled editorial pages, columnists and commentators were offering determined opposition to his legislative program. All we have on our side, he said, "is the people. Pointing out that he found on his campaign, tour ..that, the people of the nation are concerned about Mr. Truman their government, termed that concern a fine thing. I propose to do all I can to help it along, he added. Then he hurled the threat: In fact, I may even get on the train again and make another tour around the country to tell the people how their government is getting on." K V,e i H, Mush No More. . .

THE ENTIRE IDEA of a Rus- - slan attack on Japan held a bizarra aspect With the U.S. as chief oc cupation force, how could the Soviets launch an attack of the Japanese without in effect, making war on the United States? Hut General MacArthur evidently held the subject serious enough to comment about it "In case of another war, we do not want Japan to fight, MacArthur said. "Japan's role is to be the Switzerland of the Pacific, he explained.

HE DID NOT point out that with development of the bombing arm of the air force since the war, even farther distances for bombing purposes could be covered by present-da- y missile carriers.

Since the first man lifted his head and gazed m puzzled awe at a sky, mankind has been trying to discover the secrets of the universe. To that end, the huge, Palomar mountain telescope was built, and put into operation. 6ut the telescopes first contribution to the sum of mans knowledge of the universe served only to deepen the mystery. Astronomers using it found that there is no outer edge to the universe of stars, and the look they took was twuce as far as man has ever looked before The astronomers got some pictures of nebulae a billion light-year- s distant and spaced about a s million apart Each one is a world of stars, like the Milky Way The star worlds are about uniformly spread up to the previous limits of sight, about a n light years THE NEXT STUDY will be to find whether there is any thinning of the celestial families as sight Is extended outward. One stunning fact the discovery brought home was that there Is More than one star for every human being who ever lived Nearly evejy star family, or nebulae, contains more than a hundred million individual stars Now it is science concurring In the psalm: The heavens declare the glory of G5d, and the firmament showeth His handiwork .

The biggest drop has occurred in Jobs for untrained and Junior office help, particularly male, the survey finds But there Is still a nationwide demand for salesmen and sales promotion personnel, and, In most cities, for accountants and other technically trained men. MOST AGENCIES report that sal aries are the same or slightly better than last year for experienced or trained personnel, but that employment requirements are stiffer, employers interview more candidates per job, and check their qualifications much more thoroughly. The great majority of employers dealt with are uncertain as to the future, agencies report, but opti mists slightly outnumber pessimists. r Most employers feel that competition is here again, and with It the immediate necessity of trimming costs and sharpening efficiency at every possible corner.
