President Truman, Sen. Byrd Feuding Truman Feuds With Virginia Senator Washington, May 10—(UP)—Another political feud hit the headlines today to remain awhile as President Truman and Sen. Harry I F. Byrd, I)., Va., squared off in bat-1 tie for control of the Democratic party in the senate. Both are professional politicians,! graduated cum laude from rough and tumble political machines. Mr. i Truman got his diploma under the' teachings of the late Tom Pender-1 gast, who was boss of Missouri ; Democrats until he went to jail on | income tax charges. The senator's degree conies from I his own Byrd machine which controls the Democratic party in Virginia. The bitterness which has developed between the two men

was revealed yesterday in the somewhat loose talk of Gilbert Harrison, a White House visitor, who confided that Mr. Truman had said there were "too many Byrds in the senate.” It is not considered cricket to repeat presidential conversations. Byrd thought over the comment for a bit yesterday afternoon and . replied: “If the President means he will attempt to purge me from the ! senate because 1 will not accept I his dictatorship in matters of legislation. then 1 will be on hand when the purging starts. 1 owe my allegi- ■ ance to my constituency of Virginia. So long as 1 remain in the | senate 1 will vote as my conscience i dictates and to represent the wishes of my constituents.” Byrd comes up for re-election in 1952, a presidential year wnen Mr. I Truman also may be a candidate . again. Some of Byrd's sympathetic ■ colleagues avoided the scrap when asked to comment on it today. But J the lines are forming. Ultimately all on the Democratic side will have to make up their minds when the roll is called whether to vote I with Byrd for economy or with Mr. Truman for more taxes and big spending. The senator has been sharp shooting the *Truman administration for some time just as he potted the Roosevelt administration before it. But two recent incidents evidently fired the President's feelings to the point where' he would tell a White House visitor that Byrd should be bounced out. of the senate. The first was the adverse senate i committee vote on Mr. Truman’s; nomination of Mon C. Wallgren to be chairman of the national security resources board. Byrd voted with the Republicans to reject the nomination. Wallgren is the President's pal. He needs a federal job of some kind if he is to stay in politics because the voters of Washington last November removed him from the governor's office in an election in which other Democrats won handily. Mr. Truman does not take lightly any unkindness done a pal of his. The other incident wa ■ a state-i imnt issued by Byrd last week Masonic Regular stated meeting Tuesday.

He held Mr. Truman guilty of fiscal and social excesses. He accused him of folly. He cited a trend of government to more paternalism, regimentation and centralization, the whole accompanied by extravagant characteristics. Byid figured that Mr. I’trnars I budget of last January actually i asked for a 13-'5 percent increase ; in income taxes, a hike of stf peri cen' in payroll taxe’ and a 15 percent boost in postal revenue, til of this was accompanied by chat gee of waste and inefficiency against the executive department. Byrd charged that too much money was being spent as pap for pressure groups—which means as a bid for l'’T . That is how the feud between the two men. is developing Sen Allen —. Ellender, D., La . was among the first to lin n up with Byrd, lie said: "A lot of senators will be glad to roost with Byrd." Sen. Pat McCarran, I)., Nev., said he doubled Mr. Truman could lick Byrd among the 'senator's home folk. One by one the other Democrats will have to stand up and be couu'ed as this session continues and Byrd offers the amendments which would cut federal spending by at least lo percent. Trail<■ in aI.
