committee in the senate heard Hoyt
Haddock, legislative representa-

stand" against southern reaction
ary forces must be taken by lib

that the anti poll tax issue be
elected for that "last-ditch fight"
The committee met in the offices

Ten days ago Mead told Demo-

practically in control of every

that their intransigence might

STRAIGHT-FURROW FLOWER
(Chritsian Science Monitor)

Some of Harry Truman's old neigh
bors have been talking since he moved
into the white house. You know how
neighbors will talk. But what they're
saying certainly is to Mr.. Truman's
credit. Most of the publicity about the
new President has concerned his politi-
cal career. Few seem to know he was
real dirt-farmer for II years.
From his neighbors, the Kansas City
Star has learned Harry Truman was:
l. A good hand with the plow. (The
cashier Of the Hickman Mills bank quotes
his mother as saying, 81 never saw man
who could drive team straighter than.
Harry" Has this an application to the
work at hand in Washington9
z. A good hand at repairing machinery.
perhaps his knack of fixing the binder
might be applied to the benefit of broken
down governmental equipment.)
3. progressive farmer; that is, he
rotated crops and had a reputation for
getting good yields. POSSIBLY he will
plant" new men in certain government
tai fields and get better results.)
a. An organizer; he helped found his
townships first farm bureau unit and
the first All club in western Missouri.
(Will the new President organize a per-
sonal political organization to succeed
the Roosevelt organization = if he has
such ambitions = or help organize the
world for peace?)
We like especially the part about
Harry Truman's being man who could
pillow straight furrow. If he'll scour
the moldboard off bit, we believe the
sod will roll off clean
