Paul Douglas defended this man's slum clearance program and he fired J. Howard McGrath, his Attorney General, following an IRS corruption scandal. He decried the "Do Nothing Congress," which passed a bill he called a "slave labor bill": the Taft-Hartley Act. His attempt to circumvent that law by seizing some factories after a steelworkers' strike was ruled unconstitutional in Youngstown v. Sawyer, and the Housing Act was the only part of his "Fair Deal" that passed. For 10 points, name this Missouri President with a namesake doctrine to contain Communism who succeeded Franklin D. Roosevelt.
