In Presidents Talk
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 ( AP) PreJident Truman ask
ed a cheering-jeering Congress for a "moderate" tax boost
today in a message sparkling with confidence in the future
f a prosperous America and a peaceful world.
Once again Mr. Truman thrust
his "Fair Deal" program at the
lawmakers in what politicians
considered a curtain-raiser
speech for the 1950 political campaign.
He asked for his program of
more social security, civil rights
legislation, medical insurance,
the Brannan farm plan, repeal
of the Taft-Hartley labor law,
more pay for the unemployed.
And beyond this program, he
predicted that by the year 2,000
A. D. the nation's production
will total a trillion dollars a
year nearly four times" what it
is now
Once again Congress greeted
the Truman program with mix
ed and even violent reactions
that plainly indicated trouble
ahead.
Democrats were tor many
parts of it, not all. Republicans
snorted it was "socialism" and
rehash" and booed and jeered
the President of the United
States to his face.
More than 100 G. O. P. House
members signed a round robin
declaring Mr. Truman had
again given notice that he is
wholly committed to the event
ual socialization of America."
Yet, there was long, wide
spread applause from legislators
of both parties at a new call to
keep pumping billions in eco

When a Chapel Hill audience
hears them in concert next Tues
day evening at 8 o'clock in Me
morial Hall under the auspices of
the Student Entertainment Com
mittee, the Cossacks will be
boardless. The hirsute chins, once
a . Cossack trademark, passed
when audiences coming back
stage to congratulate them ex
pressed sympathy for the "poor
old men who had to sing and
dance so strenuously."
And though they are Russian
to the soles of their shiny boots,"
the Cossacks are also American
citizens. After studying the Con
stitution in Russian and English
in daily classes for six weeks, the
Cossacks took their oaths of al
legiance en masse in 1943.
Sixty percent of the chorus are
tamed to domesticity, too. When

Since 1929 the Don Cossacks

the course of a single concert
round, visitini? an average of
more than one hundred cities
each season. During their 1946-47
tour the Don Cossacks brought

In New York City aione they have
been heard 100 times. In fact
they claim to have sung in every
town in the U. S. with a popula

TAIPEH, FORMOSA, Jan. 4
Nationalist naval sources to
day asserted China's Communists
with Russian help were massing
ships for the invasion of Formosa.
The sources also said units of
the Soviet Asiatic fleet recently
arrived at Dairen. Twenty Rus
sian submarines were reported
based at that Russian-held port
in Manchuria.
(The arrival of Russian war
ships at Dairen is not unusual.
Dairen is ice free. That makes it
a good harbor in winter. Russian
warships have been reported
berthed there in the past. Appar
ently it is the timing which has

The Navy sources predicted the
invasion of Formosa would come
from such northern jports as Dair

rectly across the 100. miles fo the
Formosa Strait V b '
