On the domestic front, Mr. Truman has hacked away con-, sidorably from this position >■( ^ November-December, 1947. when he wanted limited .cage ceilings as part of his anti-inflation program. His advisers disagree now whether he should ask tomorrow for restoration of the excess profits tax on business as he did when Congress was summoned in
special session last July.
But with those exceptions. Mr. Truman’s message is expected to go along with his previous requests to Congress, most of
rebellion which which were ignored, and his cam-
paign promises. Some of hi.
of the crities already are pointing tc
contradictions in Air. Trumans position wherein some of his pro-
yesterday reversed posals for spending and subsidy
are bound to be inflationary at a time when he seeks also to stabilize or to reduce prices. Such fa< tors will put administrati <r prestige in the House and Rayburn’s new powers to a severe
test.
