President Truman a Candidate
CNew York Sum

CNew York Sun
 If President Truman desires reelection in 1948 he has every right to seek it. If he has intention so do common fairness to the public requires that he make the fact known at the earliest reasonable mo- ment. But political manners fearfully and won derfuy made. It is not considered good form for sitting President to go out boldly after such blessings when political providence may seem to have placed them within his reach. The preferred formula is for him diffident at first only yield in the end reluctant consent to imperative call from the electorate.
 The business of codifyng such a call and officially bringing it to the presidential is primarily that of the chairman of the National Committee of his party This familiar process Chairman Hannegan Of the Democratic National Committee has already set once more into operation Except for the naive among fellow citizens it doesn't make much dif- ference whether MT Hannegon did did not have the Presidents specific imprmatur what hc was at the dinner of postal supervisors in New York City recently. The Postmaster General says he was expressing only his views. Though he had long talk with MT. Truman before he here for that speech it is quite conceivable that he didn't in so many words give notice that he was going up to the big city let off trial balloons shy few hats into the ring.
 As a rule however, good PostmasterS- General don't go springing embarrassing surprises upon their bosses Just as any competen; mail carrier should be able to decpher cabalistic inscriptions upon envelopes, so good Postmaster General should at least be able to ascertain the directions in which the mind of his superior officer is tending So it therefore may be set down. with fair degree of certainty that MT. Truman is as of the present moment candidate for reelection If he change his mind hereafter, that would be his privilege. Meanwhile the high command of the Democratic party save itself much intel ectual wear and tear by concentrating upon the selection of a candidate for Vice-President By the same token Republican aspirants for the Presidency have fair notice of the candidate whom the nominee of their party will have to try to beat.

DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATIONS

If the Territorial Legislature wishes to maintain
 true fiscal control, sooner or later it should call a halt to deficiency appropriations means of dodgng budgetary limitations imposed by the Legislature.
 The only legitimate excuse for q deficiency appro- priation is when the Legislature has added to the duties of an agency after the regular appropriation has been made
 One measure recently submitted to the House calls for reimbursement of the Tax Commissioner for a trip outside clearly in violation of the Territorial law which prohibits Territorial officials with specific exceptions from travelling Territorial expense in the States
 The only way in which the Legislature can reduce Territorial expenditures is to reasser control over the purse strings and Jet it become known that when an appropriation is made for certain agency it is the duty of the head of that agency to that the appropriation will last through the bennium. Other wise if various Territorial agencies allowed to increase their appropriations at will the budget is not really fixed by the Legislature.
 And if one Territorial official is allowed to violate the law by spending Territorial money on a trip Outside then why should the others hesitate? And why have such a law?

BOB ALIENS NEW BOOK

Bob Allen. who used to do job on Washington via this column, today brings out a job on the cities of the USA. His new book Our Fair City, does to the sprawling hodgepodges of bossism and bizarre architecture which We call cities that Lincoln Steffens did on the same subject twenty years ago.
 Bob has corralled a stable of newsmen all the way from Boston to Butte. and under his editorial direction, they have dissected the bosses that run the cities, the newspapers that tolerate and some times conspire with the bosses, the red-light districts that pay tribute to the bosses-and so on down the line
 The book makes you realize that while We throw stones at govern ments in foreign countries We could do a little stone throwing right here at home

VETS HOUSING CRACKDOWN

Home builders who have been defying Federal regulations on Vet erans' housing had better start consulting their lawyers.
 Certain builders in the Denver and Cleveland areas are being hal ed into court to show why they have failed to file sales reports on housing begun before controls were lifted last December 24. This hous- ing. numbering more than 350,000 units, still is affected by price controls and veterans priorities.
 Furthermore, the Denver and Cleveland cases are only curtain raisers to a nationwide crackdown on builders, who are still required to file the sales reports with the OPA CnoW part of the office of Temporary ControlsJ OPA ccmpl- ance officers have evidence that there have been widespread vio- lations, with the result that many vets have been gypped.
 Legal action was decided on at a confidential meeting of Housing Administration and OPA officials

KNOW YOUR
 LEGISLATOR Today: DON CARLOS BR0WNELL

The biographer has discovered one man in a thousandl One who can look through his horn yimmed spectacles, say NO once, then stick by that negative despite the guns of persuasion trained upon him. This outstand- ing person, folks, is Don Carlos Browneu Definitely against pub icity, Senator Brownell refused to give even a few meagre details of pis life. Consequently what is offered is obtained mainly from his friends and from past Senate Journals
 Born before the turn of the cen- tury, Don Carlos birth records were lost in the San Francisco 1ire. He. himself, says that the year of his birth is uncertain. As n youth he went to Seward from Skagway with his parents who were early homesteaders in the Resurrection Bay area. They were the ones who first called him sonny and this appelation clung through the years, and is one by which he is frequently known.
 Growing up in this rail termin- us, MT. Brownell entered business md is, today, the owner and manager of Sewards only theatre He is married, Mrs Brownell re- maining in Seward while her hus- band is serving in this Eighteenth Legislature.
 As a candidate from the Third Division. he was elected to, and served in the Territorial Senate in l94l, the 1945 Session, Special Session of l946, and in this l947 Legislature.
 Very quiet of movement, Sena- tor Brownell is unobstrusive in mien but holds to his convictions and does not hesitate to express himself on the floor. He is ultra progressive but cautious that he is not to be construed in any way as being 'leftist"

with representatives of the Veter- ans of Foreign Wars, the American Veterans Committee and the Am vets However, it required some two-fisted prompting by the vet spokesmen to get John Sink, Hous- ing expediter Frank Creedon's re- presentative, to agree to the crack down.
 T don't think it is a good policy to bring action against the build CTS at this time, when we have to keep everybody on the ball produc- ing homes" objected Sink. Tt may cause a lot of trouble and only serve to alienate the builders.
 Well, it's one thing or the oth er," declared Wesley Pearce of the VFW. You're either going to have compliance or you're not go- ing to have it. You can't enforce compliance without hurting some body If builder is chisling or defying the law he ought to be hurt.
 The only way to stop violations is to clamp down and get criminal convictions"
 Andrew Newman of the AVG and Allen So!ada If the AMVETS strongly seconded this view. So did the OPA spokesman. Finally Sink gave in when the vet trio promised to get their organization solidly behind the compliance drive.
