by a strong southern group which
from time to time formed air-tight
coalitions with Republicans, o r
with any other division necessary
to control Jcey legislation.
Between jprobes^ which number
ed approximately 15b, the congress
i passed about 115 major bills. Here
are some of the major legislative
acts: Military appropriation bill of
$57 billion; military construction
bill for $4.1 billion; foreign aid bill
for $7.3 billion; other federal
spending, 10 bills totalling $14.1
billibn; reciprocal trade agree

The appointment of General
Mark Clark as ambassador to the
Vatican will run over as a major
controversy into the next session of
this congress, as will the recess ap
pointment of Phillip Jessup as U. by President Truman on insubordi-
confirm his appointment during
the regular session.
Announcement of Senator Taft’s
presidential yen; resignation of
William Boyle, Jr., ad Democratic
national chairman; and refusal of
George Guy Gabrielson, Republi
can chairman to register were top
political high-lights of the session,
plus the abortive atempt of Sen
ator Karl iMundt, South Dakota,
for a coalition of Republicans and
southern Democrats at the party
level.
Probably the emotional high
light of this congress was the “Old
Soldiers Never Die” speech of Gen.
Douglas MacArthur before a joint

was the Kefauver investigation of

curbs on crime and gamblihg, none
of them were passed through Ihe
congress. As a mater of fact, the

59,650 Men
To Be Drafted
Month of January
Washington, Nov. 2. — The De
fense Department issued ' a draft
call today for 59,650 men in Janu
ary, ticketing 48,000 for the Army
and 11,650 for the Marines.
It was the largest call since
March, when 80,000 were inducted.
It was also the largest draft for
the Marine Corps since it began to
dip into the Selective Service man
power pool last August.
The big January goal, the De
fense Department explained, “com
pensates for the low call in De
cember when inductions were sus
pended for the holiday period be
tween Dec. 21, 1951, and Jan. 2,
1952.”
In December Selective Service
plans to caH 16,900. The call for
last January was 80,000, the same
as February and March.
