" . THE STATE OF THE UNION The state of the union is one of mounting confusion. Congress and the administration are not playing ball with each other. Congress chooses to play ball with lobbyists and powerful industrial groups rather than with the consumer. Americans with fixed incomes sit by helplessly as prices zoom upward. Politically speaking, the situation should cause a great deal of concern among Democrats. They will go before the country- in November, when control of congress is : to be decided, with a disorganized front. : On the social and economic front, the situation yworse. We hold that the public welfare transcends any partisan advantage.. But , virtually gill of the social and economic gains achieved by the present generation have been won under Democratic administrations. Surely no one expects the Republicans, ?,f they should gain control of congress, to wax enthusiastic about c'tfntiMTance or expansion of New Deal programs-. There is a small group of liberal Republicans that sometimes make its influence felt, but in .the main that party's policies and actions are controlled bysuch reaction ares as Senators Taft'and Wherry. I A front-page story reported that Math adjournment of congress drawing near, only seven phases of President-Truman's 27-point legislative, program have been finally enacted

And congress shows np disposition to revive OPA in a form acceptable to the president. ' : Much of the blame for this situation rests upon congress, but Americans as a whole cannot escape some of the responsibility.. Nearjy four years of war left us weary, and

But those in states affording some choice between liberalism and conservatism ned to shake off their lethargy before November, -when the complexion and policies for the next two years will be .lar-elv determined.

Evidence of the ways of childTen that cause mothers to gray Vas witnessed by a member of 'the Times staff Saturday on South Section Street.

m NAVAL ANNALS are filled with sagas of gallant, battered fight1 ine shins that refused to o down. To this honored list historians
have added the venerable battleship Nevada, target in the first atomic vnrr,-h tpct nt p.ikini. The thirtv-vear-old, war-wounded craft suffered
heavy damage in the blast, but still remains afloat. Ordered in 1912, the .Nevada was launched in 1914 and commissioned' in 1915. With other fleet units she served on convoy and patrol duty during the first World War. Seconds after World .War II began for the U. S. the old battlewagon was ripped by Jap bombs at Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941, and beached by her crew. She was repaired and back in service in late 1942. Her first taste of revenge came in April 1943 when, for four days, she risked fogs and reefs in Massacre Bay to. pound the Japs on Attir. She navigated, according to her commander, "by the grace of God and good fortune." Transferred to the Atlantic, the warship did convoy duty from Sept. 1943 to April 1944. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, she began blasting holes in Nazi coast defenses in Normandy.-Her crew remained a.t battle stations for eighty hoursj more than 2,200 fourteen-ineUiliells and 5,000
five-inch shells smashed enemy concentrations in the first four invasion hours. The 32,000-ton dreadnaught moved to Cherbourg Peninsula to support land forces and then to the Mediterranean to aid in the southern invasion of Europe. Although she took part in every major amphibious operation on the continent, not one man aboard was lost. She came h6me for overhauling and then steamed to the Pacific. A Kamikaze plane struck her March 27, 1945 while she was shelling Jap installations on Okinawa, but she returned to action after four hours. The next week, Jap shore guns scored five hits on the Nevada but her damage was repaired overnight and she went back into battle. When the war ended, she wore service ribbons on her bridge which included the Purple Heart, World War I Victory Medal,-Pre-Pearl Harbor, Pacific Theatre, American Theatre, and the European-African-Middle East Theatre. Selected as the target among the array of ships in Bikini Lagoon, the "old fighting lady" was damaged above the water line butrefused to sink in the first
atomic test. She will go down in history as one of the toughest and most

You got away with it," the bartender said.
"HEN Daisy discovered that she had hurried out of
the apartment without any money, she just sat
there and said, "Oh, dear;" The bartender's cold eyes lifted to hers at once. She said, "I just remembered, I haven't any money." "You didn't remember when you ordered the drink." "No, of course I didn't! Look, I'm awfully sorry, but I live just around the corner " She stopped. The walls of the place seemed to shudder nearer. The women in the corner, were speechless. "Yeah, they always. do," said the bartender. 'It's all right, lady,- you got away with it. I knew I shouldn' a served you when you came in. It's just another one on -me. Forget about it." ' - . Daisy stared at him, unable to take all this in. The man

next to her said smoothly, "I'd be glad to pay for the lily's drink." The bartender grunted and reachsd for the check to. pass up to him. Daisy clutched it. "No, really,"' she said, "I can't permit it. I can stop in and pay this this man tomorrow." "Absolutely not. You can't corrupt him !bat way. If he actually found out he could trust someone it would probably destroy his whole life. I inast." Daisy looked at him helplessly and he smiled very nicely. "Thank you, then" she said and slid down from her stool. "Oh, look," the man said, "won't you have another before you go? Make it two more," he.said to the bartender.
