PRESIDENT TRUMAN was a dual
loser with Senator Burton X. Wheeler in last
weeks Montana Democratic primaries. IN
the opinion of most Northwest political OBJ
servers. The President had given MIR.
Wheeler an eleventh-hour endorsement but
the veteran Senator lost to Left Erickson,
40-yeal-od Helena lawyer Because of
Senator Wheelers outSpoken attacks on the
late President Roosevelt, many New Deal
leaders i'm the Northwest said that Mr.. Tru-
mans support of the "isolationist' Senator
was :; direct slap at our late President.
Mr. Erickson made an issue OF Senator
Wheelers opposition to President ROOSeVeltS 5
foreign policy and two days before the prl-
mary election the young lawyer received the
backing of James Roosevelt, the late PreSl-
dents SON. Although President Truman made
a direct appeal to railroad workers to vote
for Senator Wheeler, the election returns
show that Mr. Erickson was victorious in
the railroad strongholds. This has been re-
garded as a slap at executives OF some rail
road brotherhoOds, who tried to persuade
the rank and file of their unions to vote for
Senator Wheeler. During the past twenty
four years much of Senator Wheeler 5
strength has come from the railroad work
ers, This time they apparently failed to vote
for him. Some observers even believe that
the Presidents endorsement of Senator
Wheelers was harmful to the latterS cause
in view of the "work- -or-be-drafted bill sup
ported by the White House.

REFLECTING THE OPTIMISTIC
outlook Of the American farmer agricultural
statisticians in the Central West forset
the Corn Belt" headed for one of the great
est harvests in history. The corn sections
are studded with signs of a bountifu season
marking the ninth successive year in which
the midwest has gathered a bumper crop
This was the report this week of one qualified
farm specialist after Il survey OF what h
termed the "amaZingly rich" cOrnfield
throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Iowa alon
expects to contribute 651 100000 buShel
toward the nations record goal OF $500 900,
600 bushels of corn. Veteran farmers ar
pictured as shaking their heads in bewildel
ment at the crops abundance and eXcellen
condition. AS bumper crops of oats, Whea
and hay are being reaped, corn StatlStlclan
are predicting that farmers will end the sea
son with one of the greatest supplies
feed ON record. Whether this will mean nor
beef, pork lamb and butter for the America
housewife these farm specialists are loaf
to forecast This is because of price ratio
which now make it Improbable for niue
of the feed to be transformed into meat an
dairy products.

Certainly it is too soon for one world. TN

be feasable only after a lot of people ha
done a lot of growing up. Overnight conv'

rushes to join the church don't prove mu

ed nations will have to put in some upf
work and considerable time on probabatl
to live down their shady regulations.
