Clifton G. Parker was granted 8 demurrer in Washington County Court of Chancery in a case brought against the State of Vermont. the Marson Construction Co. of Somerville, Mass. Superior Judge 1- bert W.
Barney dismissed the suit on grounds that the bill of complaint was insufficient. He gave the conpany, represented by Atty. Frederick J. Fayette of South Burlington, 30 days in which to file an amended or new bill. The suit arose out of a contract awarded the Marson Company in 1949 to erect the substructure of the highway bridge between North Hero and Alburg.
Last November, after several revisions in terms, the State Highway Boards defaulted the company's. $393.615 contract and charged that the contractor had failed to meet completion schedules.

3-7724 Dam Expert Slocum Begins Tremendous Job in India Biggest Problems in $300 Million Bhakra Project Will Be Labor and Logistics Says Grand Coulee, Shasta, Builder 4 As Stokes Sees It By THOMAS L. STOKES Washington, May 24-Every Congross, in advance of it presidential election, becomes a forum for politics, 14 "jam This is generally recognized by it.3 members and by the oxecutive branch of the govern- ment, 17. Following the Pattern Very little gets done, beyond certain for continued operation of government. This Congress follows the pattern. These essentials include the regular appropriation bills and, in these days of "cold war" emergency, such other matters as foreign economic and military aid and controls to protect the public as far as possible from inflationary threats inherent in huge program expenditureg.
But there is Another ingredient, which might he called tho "missing. ingredient" since recent Congresses have done little about it. This is 'overlooked again this. your, ns it has been in previous: sessions before presidential elections. But suddenly, once a campaign begins, it undoubtedly will become most Important.
The Deal" Program It is overlooked, that is, by everybody except Harry Truman. The ingredient. referred is, of course, what he chooses to call his "Pair Deal" program of social welfare measures. Mr. Truman never forgets, and his memory hitherto has paid off in political dividends, Nothing has been done about that by this Congress.
So, true to form, President Truman is beginning, and at the proper psychological time ahead of the national conventions and the campaign, to refresh the minds of the voters. It can be safely forecast that, by the time the campaign is well under way, a great many voters will become fully conscious of this dereliction by Congress and, as four yeArs ago, will come to have the "we was robbed" feeling that Mr. Truman aroused so successfully in 1948. 9 Fact and. Fancy It.
does not seem to matter that the President, himself, had acquiesced in passing up the "Fair Deal" progrant in I this Congress, knowing full well that nothing would be done about it as a practical matter. Nor does it seem to matter that this is a Democratic Congress, at least in name. Somehow the President is ablo to conjure up the picture that, so far aS the Fair Deal goes, Congress is his open antagonist and, in aL campaign, such an antagonist naturally becomes "Republican." This translation has some verification in the fact, now seemingly generally known to the public, that what stops the Fair Deal program is a coalition of which the maj- ty of members are Republicans and the others Southern conservative. Democrats. From latter President Truhere man is dissociated, not as much per-.

And it. is one that most. Republicans seem blithely unaware, aS they were four years ago. Then he had a Republican-controlled and Republican-manned Congress for target -the 80th Congresa elected in 1916. Ine its second session, the Senate Republican leadership put through a moderate social welfare program, in which Sen.
Taft had a considerable part--public housing, increase in the statutory minimum wage, federal aid to education. But the louse Republican leadership buried thoso bills in committee and just on the eve of their national convention. The party platform, adopted few days later, endorsed such measures, which opened the way for President Truman to as he did and often and emphatically: "You say in your platform that you are. for these things. But in Congress, where could do something about them, you killed them." Recent Action Reminiscent of that, the louse Republican leadership was active 2.
few days ago in defeating amendments to the Social Security Act which, among 'other things, boosted old-age pensions $5 a month. It is true that bill was hurried through the Ways and Means Committee, though the subject long had been studied, and came before the House under unusual procedure that 'limited debate to only an hour. These. were valid objections. But Republicans got credit for defeating the measure, though some said they favored even more liberal old-age benefits and, injected as a major argument against the a patently phony "socialized medicine" issue.
This sort of thing could hurt again, come next November, For President Truman notes such incidents down for future reference. (Copyright, United Feature Syndicate) 100 M.P.H.

More important, he faces intensely sensitive nationalistic Indian co-workers--and a few finagling officials who don't like their domain disturbed. India turned down his suggestion that the entire construction job be put in foreign hands. Slocum presses personal satisfaction, however, at the present plan, which provides for training Indian personnel keeps the project out of the realm of American government technical aid to India. "We've got one government involved in this already," he declared, "and that's one too many for my money." On the job, Slocum and his American crew get along well with Indian personnel at the operations level.
