FOR REICH'S DPS
SEEK REFUGEES TO REPLACE
POW'S
BY Henry Wales

(Reprint from Chicago Tribune)
PARIS, Jan. 13 - A conference
of representatives of Britain. the
United States, and France, lust
completed at the French foreign
office, has provided the means bv
which France can obtain /dispaced
persons and German civilians to
work in mines and on farms. These
persons eventually would replace the
100000 German prisoners of war
captured by Americans and turn
over to France.
Gerald Drew of the United States
embassy, Asheley Clarke of the Bri-
tlsh embassy, and Raymond Bous-
quet of the French foreign office ne
gotiated the deal and established the
combined travel board (CTB) with
headquarters in Berlin.

BLUE CROSS RATE
INCREASE Is ANNOUNCED
CONTINUED from first page)


In hospitals which do not belong
to the Blue Cross, or where no re-
ciprocity agreement exists with the
local Blue Cross service, the Della
ware subscribers will have greater
amounts paid for them than at
present. The service here will al
low $6 day for room and board
and up to $50 per case for other
hospital services, instead of the
present $3.50 a day, plus $3.50 per
case under the semi-private plan.
Ward subscribers will be allowed
$4 day and $50 per case for other
service. At present there is no such
allowance in the ward contract.
The liberalizing of the out-of-
town hospital benefit rates is ex-
pected to increase Negro participa-
ton in Blue Cross disqualification
here. Because of the lack of IA
cilities for them in Delaware hos
pitals, many Negroes go to other
states for hospital care.
Through another change in bene.
fits, the cost of streptomycin-
which is a relatively expensive new
drug-will in the future be borne
by the hospital service.

Babson Believes Truman

trusts. ALI this means that Tru-
mans future and the country's
future, for that matter, depends
upon these friends to whom Tru-
man turns for advice. If these
men are honest and wise, Truman
will make a good president. To-
day his followers appear to be
such.
Re = Election?
If the Presidential election had
been a year ago, Truman would
have been terribly defeated. If. the
election were today, Truman
would have a good chance for re-
election. Probably the answer lies
with how he handles the veto pow
er during the next year-and who
is to be his running mate. Owing
to the recent deaths in office of
President Harding and President
Roosevelt, voters are beginning to
consider the Vice Presidential
candidate of both tickets. Hence,
it is e specially important that
President Truman have a strong
running mate. This brings me to
the chief new item of news which
I got in Independence, Missouri.
The people of Truman's city be-
lieve that Secretary of State
George c. Marshall will be the
running mate. Didn't he promise
that he would not run for the
Presidency?", 1 asked. To this
question the reply was, eyes, but
that applied only to the Presi-
dency. Marshall never promised
he would not accept the Vice
Presidential nomination." These
people here believe that Mr.. Mar
shall will stick to his trade and
that MI. Truman and his hackers
so believe. Hence, they are free
to build up Mr.. Marshall antici-
pating his nomination for Vice
President.
Market Discounts
When in Kansas City and St.
Louis I asked friends: Whats

ket? They replied: THE Stock

BY G w, BABSON

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-. May 9,
1947. This is a typical small west
ern city. It's life depends largely
on the farmers living about. They
are industrious and honest people
in independence and, as the name
suggests, they are both democrat
ic and Independent.
The townspeople had known
Harry Truman as an unsuccessful
storekeeper who was more inter-
ested in politics than in business
In those days this required faith
fitness to the P~endergast Ma
chine. Hence, his independence
friends yer not surprised when
he was rewarded with petty po-
litical jobs. When. however, he
was made U. S. Senator by the
P%endergast Gang, their respect
both for the U. S. Senate and the
Pendergast Machine fell pretty
far and low.
AS time went on, the toWnspeo-
pie came to believe that Truman
is as good as the rest of that
bunch down in Washington and
perhaps a little better. However.
when their fellow townsman was
nominated and elected Vice Presi-
dent, they again vel shocked
and again became skeptical of the
whole U. S. Government. These
independence people are still ask
ing today: Tell us-Mr. Babson
why did President Roosevelt
want him as a running mate? He
must have known that he himself
would not live to finish off his
Term"
First Two Years
The way President Truman act
ed in the early part of his term
confirmed the pessimistic fears Of
his townspeople. His appoint
ments, his public statements and
his private acts appeared 20 be
those of a small town politician
who simply did not know what it
was all about. His apparent desire
to please everyone, brought him
enemies both amongst the New
Dealers and the Conservatives.
Truman's stock tumbled thick and
fast. even though he started out
with a friendly press.
Everyone out here agrees that
Harry Truman is honest and
wants to do what is right. He is
modest and doesn't think he has
the answers to all the questions.
He is willing and anxious to take
advice from those whom he
