 Thousands of Negroes crowded the line of march, looked down from windows, cheered Wallace, who has fought their battles.
 Wallace continued to walk through the black-lined streets for fifty city blocks. Remarked Powell: 'This walk, MT. Vice. President, is picking up 5000 votes for Roosevelt"
 If I thought that was true," cOuntered Wallace, "I'd walk all the way to the Canadian bOr- der"
 WHAT REWARD
 FOR WALLACE?
 After Wallace's speech in Madi- son Square Garden, where he stood alongside Senator Truman and urged Truman's election, Wal lace got the following telegram from Roosevelt:
 "Tf your prediction that I'll win by 100 electoral votes comes true, then I'll make my pre- dictiOn of 6O,OOO, 900 jobs come true, and don't forget that I'll have one important job for you"
 This raises one question which intrigues lot of people, includ- ing some very close to the White House-what reward will the President give to the Vice Presi- dent, who was definitely squeezed out at Chicago on FDR's com- mand, but who came through without rancor and, in 8 30,0O0- mile transforming trip, sometimes making 20 brief speeches a day pulled votes for the man who didn't want him.
 Wallace could have back his old job as Secretary of Agricul- ture in a minute, if he wanted it. But he has indicated to friends that he doesn't want it. Also, friends say he is not going to be satisfied with being ambassador to China or with some other 'tSi- berian assignment.
 The President, on the other hand, is profoundly grateful and wants to give Wallace real recOg- milton. If COrdell Hull should
 resign, is Secretary of State, Henry, now recognized as a first-hand specialist on China,
 Russia and Latin America, would have first call on the job.
 NOTE:-At Bethesda Naval hos- pital, 73-year old Secretary Hull's health is not considered good, though he's in no immediate dan- ger. He had to take three months off from the State Department last year, six months off the year before. Hull has one great am- bition, extremely dear to his heart ito finish the Dumbarton Oaks peace machinery. This is now virtually complete, after which Hull may step aside.
 NEW YORK REBUILT"
 Piyots of the Air Transport Command assigned to fly im- portant Nazi prisoners from Eu- rope to the U. s. A. report that the attitude of the prisoners varies from silent and reSentful to open ly glad and relieved. Invariably, American Army food is a constant source of astonishment-even to high Nazi officers.
 One thing that usually happens as they fly over New York is a remark from the prisoners: Re. markedly good engineers you have in this country"
 The pilots agree, remark that New York is a miracle city. Next word from the Germans is: "It is amazing how they could rebuild the city so quickly"
 Almost without exception, ATC pilots say, the Nazis have swal- lowed the Goebbels line that New York and other American cities were long ago reduced to rubble by Nazi bombs. And almost without exception, they sit in disillusioned silence for the last lap of the trip-from New York to Wash ington.
 WERE KICKED OUT
 BUT HELPED
 When you call the roll of those who helped re-elect Roosevelt, you can't escape one outstanding con- clusion: Men he kicked out or around contributed a lions share to his victory.
 The professional politicians, with the exception of Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago, didn't help too much. Likeable, energetic Bob Hannegan of Missouri was no great beacon tower. Actually the President him. self, as usual, was his own best campaigner. He carried the chief load. But second to him, here is g roll call of the exs and kick grounds who really went down the tno for tue man rho klCksd hepli
