Those three years have been rough since
Truman became president, j
Mr. Roosevelt had snapped a stinging
whip over Congress which his Democrats
had run for 1$ years. Mr. Truman tried to
be different. | / j
He went into the White House like a
lamb, anxious tjo get along with Congress,
dashing up to tlje Capitol for lunch with his
old Senate chunis)
And, in turn, everyone seemed friendly
toward him, with a sort of “give him a
chance” air—Democrats "and Republicans

Then the egg broke. (As James Marlow

The Republicans, controlling Congress
since January,; 1947 have handled home
problems pretty! much their own way, tramp
ling ota Mr. Truman’s motions.
It’s been different on Foreign Affairs,
Just aa in wartime, the Democrats and Re
publicans have more or less closed ranks to
stop Communism:
When he proposed his Civil Rights Pro
gram for bettering the treatment of Ne
groes in the South, the Southern Democrats
tume<} against ;him. •
And when M 1 ’* 'Truman fired his Secre
tary df Commerce, Henry Wallace, in 1946
he started |£lomething no one then thought
would happen, i:
Wallace has set up a, third party, is run-
pbiness and enduring ning himself tor President, and is bound

bulk of food supplies must be
brought in from outside this capi
tal city, and transportation facil
ities are in a snarl. Some food and
milk are coming ip, but supplies
are very limilted.
The situation has improved
slightly, however,:from the vir
tual anarchy whjeh prevailed for
| a time. Army troops are on pa
trol, with orders to shoot loot
ers on sight. Rescue squads are
| picking up corpses amid heaps
of rubble up to 10 feet high.
Often there is a stench of human
flesh in the air.
Probably never before in this
hemisphere’s history has there
been a revolt) which brought such
fighting, looting and burning. The
heart of Bogota was reduced- to a
smoking j ruin. Hardly a public
building escaped)! damage, and
stores everywhere were sacked by
monsters wielding:';knives and ma
chetes.
No reports: have been received
of injury to United States citizens.
Secretary of State Marshall and
his staff, here for the disrupted
conference of the western hemis
phere nations, arb- 1 safe. They are

Editor, THE BATTALION:
I wonder how many Aggies
hgve had to strain to hear their
instructor because of the noise
mpde by an inconsiderate windbag
across the! hall who apparently
thinks that the effectiveness of
his teaching is proportional to the
volume qf bis voice? I have this
difficulty three times a week, in
spite of the fact that our door is
closed and our instructor has tin
average voice. No doubt the an
tics qf this prof amuse his, stu
dents, blit they dorrt amuse those
of us in adjoining' rooms who are
trying tp hear - whgt id going on
in our own classes.
\\ Of course I am referring to the
character {known as “Screaming
Al.” t lj 0 P e (his letter will
have soipe effect on the Screamer,
but I .doubt it. People like him ate!
usually proud of their talent for
annoying others.
