M^RCH OF EVENTS
Pressure Against Forrestal Held Back His Departure
Truman Irked by Attempt To Force Cabinet Chango
James Forrestal
. Specitl to Central Press
XT WASHINGTON—President Truman undoubtedly would have acft cepted Defense Secretary James Forrestal's resignation months ago but for his antagonism to the pressure campaign to oust the
Cabinet member.
I he little Missourian is a stubborn, tenacious man who doesn't like to have anyone needle him into making a decision. He wants to
be free to make up his own mind.
Il is well known that Forrestal, former president of Dillon. Reed and Co., New York Investment bankers, has wanted to leave the govern-
ment.
However, the chief executive fumed at the campaign to get rid of Forrestal, who was a singularly articulate man with definite views. Although ha stepped on many toes, he was recognized as an outstanding administrator. The president and Forrestal were not closs personal friends, and Louis A Johnson, top Democratic party money-raiser, might have gotten the job sometime ago. However. Mr Truman, exhibiting the same loyally he has shown to his friends, decided to bide his time and accept Forrestal's resignation when he was good and ready.

0 PRESIDENT TRI MAN MEANT "PI Rr.E “—Some White House iurces say that President Truman may have meant "purge" when he warned that he might even take "the train again" to stump the 1 mntry if Congress fails bypass his Fair Deal program. They point out that, although Mr. Truman denounced the "lobspe. ml interests and pressure groups," there is no way he could carry a fight against them to the nation His target, there- ( ire. would hive to be those members of Congress he considers
rv-ayed by these f itments.
inasmuch as the president cannot very well "purge" Republicans in Congress who oppose much of his program, as embodied In the Democratic platform, he naturally meant Democrats who do not go along with the administration. 8 Most of those are southern Democrats, who have been engaged on the Senate floor in perhaps the greatest filibuster of all time ;‘ Ka: " st , a ’ ne * sure t0 K a K filibusters—Dixie's chief weapon against
the Civil Rights program.
In addition to holding up the president's program, the aoutherners also aie generally opposed to repeal of the Taft-Hartley law. Their price for supporting modified T-H repeal would be for Mr. Truman ° a an ^ on of his Civil Rights program—an HST "must,’’ with a Rooseveltian jut of the chin. (

I-or years the chamber has been plagued by inadequate lighting 0n l. at tlmes ,l has become so dark members had trouble reading. The new lights will proBde 118.000 watts more electricity. O I-LEXIBLE RARITY—The drive for a general overhauling of the GOP-enacted "flexible parity" farm bill by the Democratic-con-trolled Congress has lost Its momentum—perhaps because the ad-
ministration put on the brakes.
Despite the use local campaigners made of the Aiken long-rangs Farm Act In the farm belt, top-ranking admlnistra- 4 tion Democrats were careful not to advocate Us p ar m Program President Truman said only that the farm program "•"■daquola,". was "inadequate." In that he drew no argument Soys Truman ■ from Senator George O .*iken (R) Vermont, author ^ of the act, who also wants further legislation—Including a food rtamp plan by which low income people could consume some sur-
plus commodities.
After some early heat generated by a few Democratic legislators .vho saw the farm state upset of the GOP as a mandate for freezing of support prices at 90 per cent of parity, or perhaps for boosting U»em to 100 per cent, the issue cooled off. Today It’* "cold.”
