Truman Plans Long Session For'Fair Deal'
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 30—(U.P.) President Truman intends to keep congress in session until the house and senate pass the bulk of his "fair deal" program.
The chief executive made this unmistakeably clear Thursday night when he told a mammoth Democratic rally that his party would win in 1952.
The occasion for the chief executive's remarks was a testimonial dinner for William Boyle, new chairman of the Democratic national committee.
More than 3,000 dues-paying civic citizens of Kansas City paid $15 a plate to eat with the president and members of the cabinet. The public at large swelled the house to more than 10,000, but without the food and drink of the Bovle testimonial.
Mr. Truman told about his "fair deal" program and how it would work for the "general welfare" of the country. The program hasn't been going exceptionally well in congress.
What sounded for all the world like a bell-ringing campaign speech brought cheers from the crowd ringed about Mr. Truman's dining table.
"I have told congress and the leaders in congress," he said, "that we are going to fight it out on that basis if it takes all summer and winter, and all next summer, too."
"Let's get to work," he said. "If we do that, we will win with that program in 1950, and we will win with that program in 1952."
In one position of his speech, Mr. Truman played a rather indirect cupid for Vice-president Alben W Barkley, a native of Kentucky, who recently has been courting Mrs. Carleton S. Hadley, a pretty St. Louis widow.
"I," said the president with Barkley grinning 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 the past year.
"We did quite a bit last November to strengthen the Democratic party," he said with a smile. "We proved that brokendown reporters turned columnists, pollsters and misguided editors can't fool the people at home or abroad."
The president posed what looked like a Democratic formula for 1950 and 1952.
He said "We ought to raise our national income from its present level of well over 200 billion dollars a year to 300 billion dollars a year."
"This 300 billion dollar income will mean great advances for all our people," he said. "It will mean better income for everybody. It will mean that we can life up those families—one fourth of our population—who have incomes of less than $2,000 a year and place most of them in better income brackets at about $4,000 a year per family.
"We can establish an income level in the country of $4,000 per family per year. That is not a pipe dream. It can be done."

SPIKE JONES' MUSICAL DEPRECIATION REVUE
Iowa Band To March
The 96-piece marching band of Iowa State college will perform at the K.U.-Iowa State football game Saturday.
The Iowa State band will arrive at 11:30 a.m. Saturday and will eat in the Kansas room of the Union. The group, under the direction of Frank Piersol, will march during the first six minutes of the half-time intermission.
The game Saturday will mark the first performance by the University marching band, a 108-piece, all-male group. Field drum major for the band is Bill Sears, graduate student. Sears won first prize in the senior division in drum majoring and twirling at the Chicagoland festival the past August.
The University band will open the demonstration with its traditional fanfare from Wagner's "Invocation of Albrich." Then the band will move to the center of the field where it will form a "K" and an "I-S," playing both school songs. As the band plays "We're From Kansas," the "K" will expand and move down the field, engulfing the "I-S".

Japan Wants Free Press
Tokyo, Sept. 30—(U.P.)—Newspaper Week opened in Japan today with a call by the American Chamber of Commerce here for abolition of censorship and a declaration by Gen. Douglas MacArthur that Japanese editors now are "free to chart their own voluntary course."
The supreme commander congratulated Japanese newspapers on their "impressive strides over the year" and "that they have truly free and resolutely objected."
But he disappointed Japanese editors and publishers who had expected him to take the occasion to lift the remaining censorship restrictions and the more rigid terms of the occupation press code.
The Japanese press operates under a 10-point code which forbids the publication of "false or destructive criticism" of the occupation powers, regardless of the source, and of stories which, according to occupation headquarters interpretation, are not "factually written" or contain a "propaganda line."
