Adjournment was in the air and Congressmen were itching to get back home for some electioneering. Impatient and brisk as a commuter trying to make a train, the Senate bundled a lot of legislation into a drawer and pushed it out of sight. Republican Floor Leader Kenneth Wherry looked at Majority Floor Leader Scott Lucas' list of 22 "must" bills, and agreed to cooperate if it was whittled down to six: expansion of social security, extension of the draft and MAP, the omnibus $29 billion appropriation bill, a bill cutting excise taxes, and a final attempt to pass FEPC...

Democrats on its Ways & Means Committee, who have been tinkering despondently with the bill cutting excise taxes $1,100,000,000, produced a new proposal to meet Harry Truman's warning that he would veto any bill which did not make up the revenue elsewhere. It would increase taxes on large corporation profits from the present 38% to 41% to bring in $433,000,000.

...each man, and not spoon-fed by any University policy. For if there is one idea that the Class of 1950 can be said to hold unanimously, it is the firm opinion that no one shall dictate to it a line of thought. This in itself, of course, should make clear what conclusions are likely on the subject of Communism. A senior at Yale did his classmates a grave injustice the other day by suggesting that they could not make up their own minds on this matter and should, therefore, be guided by their teachers. Nobody hereabouts would have...
...this biggest, gram blindest class has decided that it will make up its own mind about certain issues of some importance. It has had these issues dropped in its lap by the College, and has heard evidence; it has made up its mind on some issues now, and will decide others in the future. Harvard has provided techniques for thinking and deciding. The questions on which decisions are to be made have properly been left to the individual's selection...
