Conservatives might make a case that Murray is a dangerous radical, basing their ar THEY DREAM OF COMING HOME A "coming home'' booklet, which lists and suggests means of meeting certain situations that may arise to puzzle the families and friends of returning war veterans, has been prepared by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.

A special interest is felt by everyone in these home-coming veterans. The keynote finds expression in the following excerpts: "Let us not forget that the great majority of men will return from the wars clear and purposeful and enriched in mind, unmarred and toughened in body, matured and strengthened in character, ready to take a vital part in solving the problems of peace Our husbands and sons have shown the world that Americans are pretty swell guys. Not all of them will say it, but all of them know that in lonely homesick hours in alien lands the love for their homeland has grown bigger and they have grown bigger, too." The booklet, "Coming Home," stresses the known fact that men and women in the armed services have been dreaming of "that homecoming building it up in their minds to a point where going home seems almost like going to heaven. And we have been dreaming too, thinking how wonderful it will be to have them around again where we can see them end talk to them and know that they're all right." The main thing required to transform those dreams into reality and make the homecoming of these young veterans and older ones, too a complete success, to bring them happiness as they re-enter every-day civilian life is for their families to welcome and greet them with affection and understanding, and for their friends to treat them as normal companions at play and at work; But, always, both families and friends should let these returned veterans feel that there is never lacking a sense of respect and appreciation for all they did and all they are men who participated in the greatest of all wars. guments on his record in Congress.

WASHINGTON, July 16, Harry Truman, the farmer boy and haberdashery salesman from Independence, this week sits down to negotiate with a member of the British aristocracy whose ancestor was the Duke of Marborough, and with the steely-eyed product of the Georgian mountains whose offspring are as tough as the granite hills which tower above them and who learn to shoot shortly after they are weaned.

It will be President Truman's greatest test. In addition to sitting down between two men of opposite temperaments and background who don't particularly like each other, Truman will find himself embroiled in the clash of two great empires which have been rivals ever since czars were czars. One of the men the revolutionary represents a country with the world's greatest land mass which lias been straining at leash to get a warm-water seaport for well over a hundred years. His predecessors, the Czars, built the trans-Siberian railroad to Vladiovistok in order to reach out to the Pacific. They seized Manchuria to get ports which were not ice-bound in the winter, only to find Japan blocking their way iu the Russo-Japanese war of VMYt.

Murray has' fought the big copper companies and all the other 'interests" all over the state of Montana, coining and going, and fought him.

When they tried to make peace with him after he licked them in the JJW2 elections, he spurned their offer. People who know Murray best; ami work with him explain him ihy he is a born liberal. Congress is noted for its peculiarities, but Murray is unique even in Couirress. Shy and a poor shaker, lie makes few statements on the floor. But he works himself to the limit and he probably has more people iu Washington working for him on legislative research than any man in town.

IT TAKES DRIVE TO SUCCEED "A great many young people come to me for advice about their careers," writes Albert Edward Wiggam in Your Life. "I am just a homemade psychologist, and do' not pretend to give expert vocational counsel, but the first thing I always try to get at is what I call their 'Ambition Picture' the thing each imagines he would like to do and be 20 years from now. "It is a sorry comment that surveys have shown that scarcely half of our high school and college students have any real ambition picture at all. It is not altogether their fault. Parents, teachers and the community must share the blame.

"These young people simply drift out irrto life, and take what pickings or leavings happen to come their way. Yet all of them have the ability to go much further than they ever will, if they only had drive. And, remember, drive can be enormously increased at any time jf life." provided for them.

Churchill's Anti-Russian The other manthe aristocrat helped send Allied troops into Archangel and Siberia after the last war encourage the White Russian generals to overthrow Stalin's new Bolshevik regime.

His friends in the British Cabinet also carved out Latvia. Lithuania, and Estonia from the Russian empire to keep the new Red government from the Baltic Sea. The British aristocrat's friotds and predecessors also helped write the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, aimed at boxing Russia from the Pacific. They followed a policy of making the Mediterranean a British lake, of controlling both its ends together with strategic baes in the middle. Stalin's Demands.

But now the man who sits down on the other side of Truman wants Russia to have a voice in the control of Tangier, the African port just opposite Britain's famous base of Gibraltar. Whoever controls Tangier can partly neutralize Gibraltar. This man on the- other side of Truman also wants Russia to have a representative sitting on the board which controls Suez, jugular vein if the British Empire. And finally he wants Russian dominance of the lhirdanelles. the narrow passageway by which Russian sharping reaches the Mediterranean from the Black Sea.

These are revolutionary demands. They cut squarely across jHdicy which lias iM'en "must" for the British Empire for centuries. But Stalin is a revolutionary. He is promoting exactly the same imperialist ic policies of his predecessors, the Cziirs, but lie is smart enough to use political preachments which rightly or wrongly have appeal for thousands of people in the countries around the Mediterranean. Truman in Middle.

Truman, the man who sits in the middle, is no revolutionary. Neither is he an aristocratic stand-patter. He l- a common-sense, middle-of-the-road man. who believes in changes when the majority of the people favor change. He doesn't speak with the same broad of Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, and aside from his experience as an artilleryman in Frame iu the last war.

he does not have the same knowledge or background of Eurojiean affairs. He is primarily a product of the Middle West, backbone of America. That may help him. Truman is known to feel that the British took advantage of us somewhat during the Furopean war. As Senator, he sometimes dropped hints that the powers that were in the White House could have stood up more to Churchill's charm.

But at the same time. Truman has Wn irked at the way the Russians walked over us iu certain matters since the Armistice.

A BOTTLENECK IN STEEL Since rttonversion has been under discussion it has been assumed that the steel industry, at least, could switch from military to civilian production with no trouble or delay. But now the industry periodical, Steel Facts, reveals that the country's steelmakers have $200,000,000 worth of work to do when their military contracts are finished. For one thing, says Steel Facts, wide-sheet mills will have to be shifted back to peacetime ways. A lot of furnaces with emergency patching jobs will need thorough repairing, and so on.

Nobody is worrying about the steel industry being able to raise the money for this job. But a $200,000,000 reconversion job will take time. And that delay will be reflected and magnified in ether industries whose products the public is eagerly awaiting. All of which is just another reminder not to get too hopeful of a lot of needed civiliaa goods appearing quickly.
