Roosevelt, Jr., who Inherited a name and a smile to conjure with and wasted little time in conjuring with them, has been duly sworn in as a member of the house of representatives. The congressman from New .Yorks 20th district, filjing the seat left vacant by the death of Sol Bla'Sm. ran as a candidate of the Four Freedoms and Liberal parties, although he will operate as a working Democrat in tire legislative arena. ROOSEVELT failed to get the Democratic nomination regular during the campaign so he ran on the Four Freedoms ticket. In so doing he scored a popular upset over the regular (Tammany) Democrat, a Republican and an American Labor candidate. The third son of the late President took the oath from Acting D., Speaker John W. McCormack Mass.), while his mother beamed happily from the gallery. During his first day on the job Roosevelt: CHATTED briefly with President Truman; denied a rumor that he might run for mayor of New York; allowed that he hoped congress would repeal the labor law. enact Mr. Trumans civil rights program and put through a national housing act. It all looked like a reasonable beginning for another Roosevelt political career. y HOUSING: Action Seen Indications were that despite op position from many quarters, the administration's big now housing bill would get out of committee and go to the house floor for action. THE RULES committee, which twice last year killed similar legislation, had refused to clear the current bill. But Rep. A. J. Sabath (D., 111.) was predicting the committee would act to clear the measure. Sabath was on fairly safe ground, for under the new house antibottleneck procedure adopted in January, the multibillion - dollar housing bill could be put to a house vote over the rules committee's objections. THE housing program, one of President Trumans major campaign promises, was approved by the senate April 21 on a 57 to 13 vote. It then bogged down in the house. The bill calls for a vast program of slum clearance, t housing and farm housing aids. low-ren- dt Tze-tun- it loveler. Edison Convention 'M 01 IOUT UNITY DRIVE" INTRODUCING ...

These quotas have been set up for to Drops Curb Bill There was one thing about President Truman he was beginning to develop the ability to recognize a hint when he saw it. There have been times when the President seemed to suffer from an ability to do that, but now it's different. The President, obviously with an understanding ear to the ground, has decided he won't press congress to give him standby war powers. THAT'S not only wise of the President, it's good strategy, particularly since it would have been impossible for the administration to convince the 81st congress that any such powers are needed. However, there was an official reason advanced for the change in objectives. One authority described the revision of plan as a quiet demilitarization" of the national security resources board on White House orders. Pi other words, the emphasis would be away from keeping the people agitated and alerted for possible future war. THE war powers bill would have provided a detailed mobilization act covering priority and seizure powers, controis over prices, manpower: production and transportation. It would, if enacted, go into effect automatically on the declaration of war emergency by congress. Mr. Truman was said to have decided it would be inappropriate to try to get such a law passed in peacetime. burley, flue-cure- and fire-cure- d tobaccos.

We have perhaps paid too much attention to what the President says and thinks. said Wilson. But your reporter was too much interested in what Wilson thought abou the President. We were interested in what he thought about this thing called socialism, or creeping socialism, about which all of us are concerned. And so he gave this reporter an exclusive interview, realizing as he did his convention speech would be old for weekly newspapers. For some 45 minutes he told your reporter of his experiences and impressions in a recent trip to England, where GE has a large plant, and the comparison of life under socialism or nationalization there and here. thet Harr, Bud lone snlmst j porter attended the l"th annual convention of the Edison electric institute, the trade organization of the electric light and power industry and related business in the United States. I listened to the speeches and aside from the technical talks they were much like political speeches. All viewed with alarm or pointed with pride to do mestic developments. They were boastful of the accomplishments of the industry. They were flecked with alarm over encroachment of government. They spoke much of creeping socialism. Probably the outstanding talk of this convention was that of Mr. Charles E. Wilson, president of the vast General Electric company.

We have not reached the peak either in production or in income. We are still going forward to better things, a higher standard of living where already we have the highest stan dard of any land in the world. What I cannot understand is why anyone would want to substitute any other economy for the system we have in the United States today, a system which has demonstrated its ability to serve every segment of American life with a richer, higher standard of living, so magnificent, so efficient as compared with any other system in the world. Why, for instance, would we want to go back to the bicycle economy of England, England where a working man can only hope about owning an automobile? Theirs is geared to a bicycle economy. So again I cannot understand we why would want to change to a system of socialism where everyone would be on a lower level of economic living. Where we would all be subsidized by the government at a standard of living necessarily lower than we have today. I do not believe the American people will stand for it if they know what they are being offered in the place of our present system if they understand the economics confronting them. And that's what I think we have to do. There must be an economic educational campaign for the great mass of our people. We need to arouse them to an appreciation of what we hav got, for what we have is good. Lauds Rural Areas Speaking of the rural areas, s ;y f i r ti doinj .
