Popularity of
Truman Grows
PRINCETON, N J., Jan. 7—
President Truman haa risen in the
estimation of the American people.
A slightly higher proportion of
voters approve of the way he is han-
dling his job aa president, and a
smaller proportion disapprove, than
was the case, before the election
last November.
Whereas the trend of his pop-
ularity had been -

strategists, especially Democratic
leaders counting upon the Presi-
dent to run for re-election in 1948
Mr. Truman took office in
1945 in the midst of an enormous
amount of good will and sympa-
thy from the voting public During
his political “honeymoon " period
he was at one point more popular
than Franklin D. Roosevelt had
been at the height of his career,
fn July 1945, with Germany beat-
en and Japan reeling under Amer-
ican blows, 87 per cent of the vot-
ing population polled by the
institute approved of the way Mr.
Truman was handling his job.
It was after peace came, and
the myriad problems of reconver-
sion set in, that a decline in the
President's popularity started.

Drive Launched
WASHINGTON, Jan.-8.-L
Five senators launched an anti-fil-
ibuster drive today with, strong
prospects that it will carry to the
Senate floor and provoke historic
debate—perhaps a filibuster
Senator Knowland (R-Calif),
who with Senator Ferguson (R-
Mich) introduced one of three
prosals to smash the rule protect-
ing unlimited debate, said he
thinks there is “a good chance”
that the rules committee will give
the Senate a chance to act on a
change. Knowland is a member of
the committee.
Other similar proposals have"
been put forward by Senator Sal-
tonstall (R-Mass) and by Senators
Morse (R-Ore) and Taylor (D-Ida-
ho).
All three pending resolutions
are designed to blast out the rule
by which Senate debate now can
be limited only by two-thirds vote
and substitute a provision that a
simple majority could apply a lim-
itation. The House has had such a
rule for years.
Southern Democrats declar-
ed immediate and outright op-
position.
Senator George (D-Ga) said
there may have been “regret-
table abuses” of unlimited de-
bate in the only deliberative
legislative body left in which
it (debate) can prevent bas-
ically unwise legislation.”
Some modification of present
rules might help, George added,
but none of the new proposals
holds the answer.
A midwest Republican. Senator
Hickenlooper of Iowa, counseled
“extra caution" in handling the
problem.
Also a member of the rules com-
mittee which will pass on all three
proposals. Nickenlooper said he is
neither for nor against their ob-
jectives at this time But he ob-
served that "a majority now can
always stop a filibuster within a
very short time if it is willing to
do it."
Hickenlooper recalled that last
week's filibuster against a drive
to bar Senator Bilbo (D-Miss)
broke after the Republicans had
threatened to hold the Senate in
continuous-session
Knowland, contending that a
change in the cloture rule is es-
sential for good legislative prac-
tice,” told a reporter:
“I have never felt that a small I
group had the right to block the
Senate, from functioning.”
Senator Thomas (D-Okla) said it
is true that this country "is sup- |
posed to be governed by a major- i
ity.”
"But," he added, "it has suffer-
ed more through enactment of
hasty legislation than through fail
ure to enact legislation."
And Senator Ellender (DSC),
who was holding the floor Satur-
day when the Senate shut off the
talk marathon over Bilbo, said he
believes the present rule protects
free speech. 1
