Truman Signals Steps on Electoral College and Coal Policy
President Truman at a Washington news conference outlined five points. He called a constitutional amendment abolishing the Electoral College a forward step but unlikely to pass in time for 1952. He said he will invoke the Taft Hartley Act for coal emergencies and stressed a 70 day truce aim does not preclude action under the law. He offered no new hydrogen bomb details but pressed for tight international controls. He urged action on FEPC legislation and gave no comment on the Missouri battleship refloat. He indicated normal coal production would imply a five day week and said no agreement with labor on TH law exists. He spoke on fair employment legislation and UN notification ideas regarding the hydrogen bomb and atomic controls.
