Explains Pact PRESIDENCY: 'Say It Isn't So' Was President Truman emulating the ostrich with the old "head in the sand" technique, or was he naive enough to believe what he was saying? This seemed a fair question when Mr. Truman, despite multiple setbacks in congress for his legislative program, declared he and the congress were cooperating and that only "troublemakers" talked of bad feeling between them. MR. TRUMAN had suffered three major setbacks in attempting to have his campaign pledges enacted into law. He had been blocked on rent controls, appoint ment of Mon C. Walgren as a key figure in the national defense setup, and civil rights proposals. the President shook off But, these reverses by ignoring them In a speech to the United States con ference of mayors in Washington. Instead, he told the mayors: "Of course I differ with the congress on some points and where these differences are important I shall continue to urge the course I think is right. "BUT, BASICALLY, the congress and the President are working together and will continue to work together for the good of the whole country. We are going to agree on a lot more things than we disagree on. Many observers took the view that the President's remarks indicated adoption of new strategy im dealing with congress that an attitude of "soft words" might be held more advisable than angry denunciations of the lawmakers. PENSIONS: Who Pays? It was beginning to appear that a veteran's pension bill in some Jorm would be enacted by the 81st congress. Prodded by Rep. John Rankin (D., Miss.), of the house veteran's affairs committee, the measure under consideration would give veterans of World Wars I and II automatic pensions of $90 a month at age 65. Budget bureau experts contend this would cost the aation upwards of 123 billion dollars over the next 50 years. WHO WOULD PAY the cost of the pensions? American taxpapers, af course, and among these would be all the veterans who might some day receive the bonus. As one young war veteran put it, "By the time I reached 65, I would have gone broke trying to pay taxes to grant me a pension." That's the viewpoint of some veterans. There are many others who honestly feel they are entitled to a pension and would readily accept an "installment" tax payment period between their present age and age 65 In order to get the pension. SOME OPPONENTS of the pen-sio- n measure favored restricting pensions only to veterans of World War I, but it was obvious no such proposal as this would be enacted. There were too many World War II veterans who would oppose that simply en the principle of discrimination, no matter how they might feel basically about the pension proposal. On tie first test of the measure, K was almost lost, but swift parliamentary maneuvering saved it from feeing returned to committee where it might have died a natural death.
