SPEAKS UNEXPECTEDLY
Express Hope That All
Dixie States Will Even
tually Repeal Levy

CHICAGO, April 6-(P)-In what
appeared to be q peace offering
to militant Southern Democrats in
Congress, President Truman today
disclosed the view that repeal of
the poll tax, must be left up to the
states.
His pronounc cement concerning
one of the most controversial issues
ever tackled by Congress came un-
expectedly at News conference
he held for Chicago high school
journalists.
The question was raised by a
nervous, shy little girl, whose
query escaped most of the report
ers regularly assigned to cover the
President.
Has Pointed to Record
Mr.. Truman, a proponent of Fed
eral repeal of the tax levied in a
number of Southern states as a
prerequisite for voting, while a
member of the Senate, has on sew
eral occasions pointed to his Sen
ate record, when asked about his
attitude.
DO you see any immediate solu-
tions of the poll tax in the South?"
came the question.
No, he did not, the President re-
piled. That is a matter they will
have to work out for themselves
There are number of Southern
states, the President went on, that
have repealed the poll tax.
He expressed hope they all will
eventually. But that is matter for
them to work out for themselves,
Mr.. Truman continued.
He added that it also was a mat
ter for Education. Southern Demo-
Gratis have been critical of the Tru-
man administrations stand for a
permanent F. E. P. c. and other
New DEAL detectives. Efforts
have been under way in party
circles to ease the tension created
by bitter debate on some of these
issues.
The President also told the wide
eyed, thrilled youngsters that he
favored extending voting rights to
1S years old because youth, by its
war service, had proved it's ability
to handle the highest duties of
citizenship.

The leaders who helped

emies urged yesterday that
she remain strong until fu-

Gen. Eisenhower said the Army
must continue research on weapons
and maintain its strength as an
interim force, In support of the
United Nations, until the future
peacetime army can be formed. He
pledged the Army would make
every effort to develop national
security ''as a cornerstone of the
peace structure that must be built
in the world"
The president, war secretary and
Army chief of staff witnessed a
brief but impressive display of
Army strength before speaking in
Soldier Field. AS Army planes of
all variety roared overhead, they
reviewed a parade of $4,000 troops
of the famous Fifth (Red Dia-
mond Division on Michigan ave-
nue.. A crowd estimated by park
police at 100000 crowded along
the parade route as the troops
passed by on foot, in tanks and in
jeeps.
Also included in the president
retinue were Gen. Carl Spaatz, air
forces commander; Gen. Jacob L.
Devers, ground forces commander
and 1t. Gen. Leroy Lutes, head

SETUP EXTENSION
Declares Nobody Should
Play Politics With The
National Safety
By ERNEST B. VACCARO


CHICA G o, April g.
(AP) - President Truman,
proclaiming a new "univer-
sal" foreign policy designed
to oppose aggression the
world over, called today for
strong military forces to back
it up.
Speaking before a crowd
police estimated at upwards
of 10000 persons, the Presi-
dent, standing bare-headed in the
wind-swept Soldier Field, declared
America must remain strong to
preserve the peace and protect the
weak from outside coercion or
penetration"
Mr.. Truman called for passage
of legislation extending the selec-
tive service act another year. Arm
ed forces unification and univer-
sal training, which have stout OPP
position in congress, and then de-
parting from his prepared text,
declared:
Nobody should play politics with
the national safety he did not
elaborate.
Praises Roosevelt
The president was cheered when
he concluded his talk and inter-
rupted by applause on other oc-
casions, once when he paid tribute
to Franklin D. Roosevelt, his pre-
decessor.
Following the Soldier Field cere-
mony, the president and his party
of high Army officers and their
wives departed by special train
for Washington at 5:03 pm. (CST).
Mr.. Truman reserved for the
United States the right to project
itself into any situation where oUS-
side rivalries might endanger the
security of any nation and en-
danger the peace of all.
The crowd estimate was made
by Park Police Lieut.. Jasper Free
man, who said the field provided
seats for $4,000. Other estimates &.
by reporters were somewhat lower.
Reviews Parade
Earlier, Mr.. Truman reviewed
an Army Day parade witnessed by
an estimated 100000 persons.
Later he went to Soldier Field,
where he spoke with General of
The Army Dwight D. Eisenhower,
chief of staff, and Secretary Of
War Robert D. Patterson.
In the strongest language he has
ever used as Franklin D. Roose-
velts successor as democracy-S
spokesman, the gray-haired Mis-
sourian told thousands in Chicago's
Soldier Field:
1--WE cannot one day proclaim
our intention to prevent unjust ag
gression and oppression In the
world and the next day call Tor
scrapping of our mill
tary might.

famous Fifth Cred Diamond In

stood with Gov. Dwight H. Green,
Mayor Edward ]. Kelly, Senator
Lucas O-IlD and its commander,

other countries to pursue peace

Did you know that standing at an open
window for about five minutes, and n
ling good fresh air will enable you to
sleep better? And did you know that a
glass of warm water will quench your

For you office gals: put away those hea-

peasant blouses, broomstick skirts, pima
fores, piques and Bingham have that cool,
refreshing look. You will find that you can
keep much cooler, if after coming home
from a hard and firing day at the office,
YOU change into a pair of shorts n neat

HAMPTON.....
Prof. S~hlabernowhiskie

Jazzy, Jumpin's and Justling, Hamp,
really gave with the 1--WE for his fans this
past week. This one man dynamo held his
audience %spellbound by alternating from
clarinet, to drums, to piano and finally the
."vibes." Between tunes he jumped, boog-
led and gave out with a vocal yell Of "E-
BOB,A.RErBOP."
Lionel played a medley of "STARDUST"
PRISONER OF LOVE" and "DAY BY
DAY" and in conclusion he wound up
with FLYING HOME" His trend of mu-
sic was different and that's why we all
liked Hamp and his orchestra.
Romantic message TAKE CARE, is
sweetly sung by DON BROWN and the
THREE TWO TIMERS. This Columbia re-
cording is smoothly coupled with "WHEN
THE ONE YOU LOVE" with TOMMY
TUCKER AND HIS ORCHESTRA.
Exercising tune, "HOP SKIP AND
JUMP" is taught by ANITA O'DAY, GE-
NE KRUPA warbler. Flipover features te'
nor sax by CHARLIE VENTURE.
Miller's prodigy, HAL MCINTYRE,
gave out with some biting blues on "PA'
THENCE AND FORTITUDE" with the sax
section soloing while the orchestra neatly
coordinates. BASIE'S arrangement is also
good.

ETHEL WATERS is vocalizing for Con-
tinental, of Leonard Feather compositions
We're glad to have her waxing again.
"THE GYPSY" is claimed by DINAH
SHORE whose blues voice makes this song
'fine'. The reverse side LAUGHING ON
THE OUTSIDE" is vocalized much better.
Although many have tried to sing this
song, In my estimation "ZIGGY TALENT"
is the one that does it justice. He mimics
the Italian voice as he cries JOSEPHINE
PLEASE NO LEAN ON DA BELL" for
VAUGHN MONROE.
Classical POP stuff as "AVA MARIA"
and NINA" is better than usual, due to
KENNY BAKERS tenor voice. Baker, who
started on Jack Benny's program, has real
ly reached the top. We're plugging for you.
Arrangement of "WAVE TO ME, MY
LADY is A Hillbilly tune recorded by the /.
.DINNING SISTERS for Capitol. They are
said to nave the perfect musical pitch, and
are completely a series of Soundies.

WARDS, Hit Parade vocalist, to sign a con-
tract. We know she'll do good.
