There weren't too many blocks at the start. Packard, yesterday’s most active issue, opened on a block of 1,500 shares up % at 6%, 4 new 1952-53 high. Railroads were mostly lower along with oils and aircrafts. The steels and motors held steady. Lower stocks included New York Central, Southern Pacific, Sinclair Oil, Trans World Airlines, Ameri- can Telephone, American Cyana- mid, Goodrich, and United Air- craft. Higher were Dome Mines, Allied Chemical, and Nickel Plate. TEMPERATURES Atlanta Augusta —_ Billings Birmingham Boston. —____ Buffslo Charleston -. Chicago _.

Chairman George Day- ton, Dade City, of the Senate Com- mittee has agreed to name similar sub-committees, each with the same agency assignments as its House counterpart. In that way, the House and Senate sub-commit- tees can work together and hold joint hearings. In most past sessions the Budget Commission has worked alone, heard all agency requests and made its recommendations to the Legislature, Then, when the Legislature con- vened, House and Senate Appro- priations Committees held sepa- rate hearings and introduced ap- | kind Propriations bills many millions of doilars apart. By the time they finished, it usually was late in the session. Each branch, in the closing rush, has adopted its own committee's bill and refused to back down. To get the matter finished, it almost invariably has gone to a compro- mise committee which usually wound up with a bill totaling about what the Cabinet asked in the first place. With both appropriations com- mittees appointed and on the job three months before the opening of the Legislature, Senate and House leaders hope they can get their appropriations bill passed early in the session and have time to review any vetoes by the gov- ernor. Most vetoes in the past have come «after: the Legislature ad- journed, which gave the Legisla- ture no chance to override until it came back into session and found most of the appropriation period gone.

As he rolls homeward to Missouri next Tues- day night, lying in the dark just before he starts his first night’s sleep as an ex-ptesident, Harry Truman may think the wheels say: “How did you do?” How did you do?” Judging from all he’s said re- cently, he seems to feel he’s done all right and, if it turns out he didn’t, at least, he gays, he “done his damndest.”” He steps jauntily back into pri- vate life, human, not at all broken by seven tremendous years, and very much the man he always was, If anyone had the tight to believe in the old saying—in this country any boy can be president some day without a university degree or wealthy background, He came out of a farmhouse and walked steadily until he reached the White House by way of store- keeping and precinet politics. If at times he seemed too cocky, too belligerent, it may have been in against the snobbism implicit in the crack flung at him so many times: “That little haberdasher.” Not long ago he said he has ac- complished two things: He put the country in a position of economic prosperity and kept it out of a third world war that would mean the destruction of civilization. It is the greatest prosperity in his- tory. To the Republicans he leaves the job of retaining it. If some "03 License Tags Sale Near 2,000 Almost 2,000 1953 license tags have been sold by the office of County Tax Collector Howard Wil- son since the first of the year, it was learned today. An expected total of 10,000 tags will be sold before the deadline February 20, Wilson said. This year’s rush for tags was precipitated by the issuing of stickers which enable Monroe coun- ty residents to travel free on the Overseas Highway. Crowds of re- sidents have been pouring into the courthouse since January 5 when license tags were first available. Car owners who are Monroe county residents must sign an af- fidavit in the office of Supervisor of Registration Sam Pinder stat- ing that they are bona fide resi- dents. Transportation Is Stull A Problem To Philly Citizens PHILADELPHIA (# — Philadel- phia’y horde of transit commuters took @ their roller skates, bicycles, train§ and taxis again today, spu on by a union official’s prediction a hamstringing transpor- tation strike will be ended by day it crashes, they may get the | Sund: blame or history may decide he used defective cement or the wrong While he leaves the republicans with the Korean War which, al- though less than global has man- aged to be insoluble, it is true that by one bold stroke after another, and often against intense opposi- tion, he has blocked communism, if only temporarily. In a rudder- less world this country has con- fronted spss the responsibility of assuming leadership or retiring & » isolationism while communism gobbled up the rest. Truman rec- os the responsibility and took The moves he made against Rus- sia may prove to have been pre- cisely the right ones for turning the tide. Yet, the future may show he was kidding himself and the rest of the world when he thought Russia could be restrained by the measures he used or any measures short of the war he is ‘so happy: about avoiding. ee His worst enemies, even though grudgingly, have always considered him a master politician. But it is exactly in this field that history may pronounce him most inept and on these grounds: that he could have accomplished far more if he had only understood, as Franklin Roosevelt did, how poli- tics are played on the grand and modern scale. His relations with Congress were wretched, particulary in the Past two years and particularly after the death of Sen. Vandenberg, one of the Republicans who gave him bi-partisanship in foreign affairs. Truman never learned, or if he did he never took advantage of it, what Roosevelt had demonstrated |#€ overwhelmingly: that by charm and maneuver with Congress itself and by carrying your case directly to the people who elect Congress you can win what might otherwise be lost. Truman never made full use, as Roosevelt did, of going into people’s living rooms by radio to state his case. And Truman had TV, too. Because of his relations with the lawmakers, he was pretty in- effective with his domestic propos- als. That may be why in his re- cent talks he subordinated, some- times dismissing in a few para- graphs, the domestic side of his administration to his aceomplish- ments in foreign affairs, It may have been overlooked but he probably bounced more gov- ernment officials than any presi- dent in history—at least in a com- parable time—but apparently not lay. The Philadelphia Transportation Company’s 9,500 employes went on strike last Tuesday midnight de- spite an agreement reached earlier by negotiators for the company and Local 234, CIO - Transport Workers Union. Yesterday, Paul W. O'Rourke, president of the local, announced a secret ballot of the strikers had been called for tomorrow with high hopes the ballots would be counted by late tomorrow night and service resumed--in the event of a return- to-work vote--by Sunday. O’Rourke predicted that a ma- jority of the PTC workers would vote to go back to their jobs. He said that he felt most of those who voted to strike at a mass meeting Tuesday night had not fully understood the terms of the PTC contract offer, the basis of the negotiators’ agreement. Under that ‘contract offer, the PTC workers--who now average $1.67 an hour for a 48-hour week-- would receive three pay .boosts totaling 21 cents an hour over the next 18 months. During that same 18 months, their work week would be decreased to 40 hours. The union had sought a full 48 hours’ pay for a 40-hour week. RED CROSS SETS MARCH FUND QUOTA NEW YORK @—The American Red Cross has set a 93 million dollar quota for its March fund drive—eight million above the 1952 goal and the biggest yet except in wartime. .

The Cubs are standing pat on the squad that manager Phil Cav- arretta herded from last to fifth Place in 1952. “We haven’t a single deal on the fire,” personnel director Wid Mathews told a press luncheon gathering yesterday. Cavarretta thinks a first division spot could be nailed down by the Cubs this year “if we could get another power hitter like Hank Sauer in the outfield.” Phil, himself, may take a shot at right field during the season. “I think I can still run, throw and hit,” he said. “Right now I feel like I could handle the job.” Boxing Results THURSDAY’s FIGHTS By The Associated Press NEW YORK (Sunnyside Gar- den)—Ted Murray, 148, New York, and Irvin Stein, 146, San Diego, Calif, drew, 8.
