TRUMAN SAYS DEMOCRATS ARE 1950 WINNERS PRESIDENT IS PLANNING TO KEEP CONGRESS IN SESSION

KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Sept. 3U. (UP) President Truman into ds to keep Congress in session I'lilil the House and Senate pass the 1 ulk of his “Fair Deal” pro-
gram.
The chief executive made tins unni.stakeably clear here last night when he told a mammoth Democratic rally that his party j would win in 1952. The occasion for the chief executive’s remarks was a testimonial dinner for William Boyle, new chairman of the Democratic iiaiiona! committee. More than 3,000 ducs-paying civic citizens of Kansas City paid $15 a plate to eat with the Prcsilor.t and most of the members of the cabinet. The public at large swelled the house to more than 10,000. but without tlie food an i drink of the Boyle testimonial. Mr. Truman told about his "Fair Deal” program and how it would work for the “general welfare” of the cmmtry. The program hasn’t been going excel - tionally well In Congress. “1 have told the Congress an 1 the leaders in the Congress,” he said, “lliat we are going to fight it out on (hat basis if it takes all rummer anil winter, and all next
summer, too.”
What sounded for all th ■ world like a bell-ringing campaign speech brought cheers from Ui" crowd ringed about Mr. Truman's dining tabl". “Let's gel to work," he said. “If we do that, we will win witn that program in l!)50, and will win with that program in 1952. ’ He also said he thought th: country needs “a free press.” In one portion of his speech, Mr. Truman played a rather indirect cupkl for Vice-President Albcn W. Barkley, a thorough going native of Kentucky, who recently has been courting Mrs Carleton S. Hadley, a pretty St.
Louis widow.
“I." said the President with Barkley grilling at the other,end of the table, "am exceedingly glad that he is about to become
a citizen of Missouri."
The chief executive was repeatedly proud about the way he licked the Republicans last yeai “We did quote a bit last November to strengthen the Demo cratic parly.” he said with a smile “We proved that broken down rcportci s turned columnists, posters and misguided itor can't fool the people
home or abroad."
“This ” he said, speaking from notes, "is one of the best things that cvei happmed to these United Stales It is a great step toward a real, honest free press. And that is What we need worse than anything in the world . . . The President posed what looked like h Democratic for-
