It waa reported that President Trumans congressional sides wers planning another try at repealing the measure, but had reached no decision. THIS CAME to light after House Speaker Sam Rayburn concluded a conference with the President. The decision on a new repealer ef-- fort "'was toswsit further 1. The Answers West Point. 2. A Welshman. 3. The States of the Union. 4. 5. confer- ences with labor committee members in both houses. While the persistence of the administration might be comendable, the wisdom in any further effort y toward a repealer was doubtful. A majority of top leaders had conceded there was little hope of getting the bill changed at this session of congress, and all, including administration leaders, were willing to make the question an issue in the 1950 congressional elections. THE RESULT of the vote on y labor changing the law wa confusing to tha average observer of the political scene. If labor had played as important a part as R was conceded in the election of President Truman and with congressional elections up next year how could 10 many senator have found the courage to fly into the face of what might seem certain defeat? On the other hand, if labors role In politics is as negligible s others claim, why was the administration y pressing so hard for the repealer. On thing appeared certain: There were many congressmen sufficiently unimpressed Vith labors political importance that they didnt mind going contrary to y labors wishes on the issue. 0 Primo Camera.

With unemployment figures standing at the highest peak in 11 years, and many nationwide organizations and national leaders casting about for . a bulwark, against economic hazards, congressional leaders were laughing at th Idea the nation might be edging into a depression. THEY had Just conferred with President Truman and upon emerging from the conference ridiculed the notion that all might not be as rosy as possible with the nations economic picture. If the lawmakers were out on a limb, they were way out, for House Speaker Rayburn and the senate Democratic leader, Scott Lucas, minced no words In expressing their optimism. WITH 58 million people employed in industry and 30 million farmer with money to pay for if whatever they need. Ill be 1 see how you can call it a recession, Rayburn declared. Said Lucas: If it is, its the most prosperous one weve ever experienced. MEANWHILE, it was said President Truman was preparing a special economic message tor delivery to congress. It was expected to carry recommendations for dealing with .declining prices and the unemployment situation. Ofit of all this came repetition 'Of the additional-taxe- s proposal. Asked about that, Rayburn said It had yet to be determined. He did not make 'it dear whether he meant President Truman is reconsidering his plea for four billion dollars in additional taxes a year, or whether the matter Is still up In the air in congress. NEW HOMES: More Cash Buyers planning t o finance d homes through mortgages may have to make larger down payments from now on. THE federal housing administration had cautioned its underwriters to consider declining construction costs when appraising houses for insured loans. The result, the ' agency said, would be lower mortgages on many new homes. If the builder falls to cut his selling price in line with lower costs, the down payment will be higher. THE decline in building costs and- - material have been noted since late last year, the underwriters were told. Most materials are plentiful, it was said, and production rates of workers in many sections have improved.

If two Indiana university professors are to be believed, then the male of the species must face an unpleasant fact namely, that girls (or women) can reason better than boys (or men). THE professorial gentlemen claimed, and . cited, figures 0 for proof, that the female is the superior of the male in the reasoning department, and this despite ten million jokes, books, philosophical discourses and general experience to the contrary. The professors say unequivocally that given a set of circumstances, the lassies can come up with more logical answers than boys can do. These gentlemen are Dr. William H. Fox and Prof. Nicholas A.

They made the test in two high schools, one in a city of 11,000 in north central Indiana, and the other in a consolidated rural school near Indianapolis, TO USE the professors own words in the report: "Scores on the interpretation of date test, seeking to establish their relationship to measures of achievement, personality and Interest, found no differentiation . , . but there was a clear cut advantage fdr girls in both schools in ability to reason, to see relationships, to make comparisons and to suspend Judgment until pertinent facts ' are collected.
