Vote Shows Truman
Popular in Cities as
Well as Farm Belt
BY the Assoeiossd Press

President Truman not only ran
of with several farm belt States
formerly considered Republican ter
ritory, but he did rather well in the
big cities in the November. 2 elec-
ton.
Oficial figures now available show
the President won all the 13 cities
of more than 100000 population
that the late President Roosevelt
carried four years ago.
He bettered Mr.. Roosevelt's plu-
ralities over Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
in tive-Boston, Buffalo, Kansas
City, Pittsburgh, and st. Louis. He
dropped below the Roosevelt mar
gins in eight-Baltimore, Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles,
Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and New
York.
Topped Roosevelt Vote in Four.
The President topped his prede-
cessor's total vote in four of the big
13-Boston, Kansas City, Pittsburgh
and st. Louis.
Gov. Dewey bettered his own 1914
total vote in only four of the 13
cities Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit
and Los Angeles.
Henry A. wallace's vote helped to
cut into Truman pluralities in many
instances. IN New York City, for
example, complete unofficial figures
show the Presidents plurality was
4S9,047 compared with Mr.. Roose-
velt's 769, ,849, a difference of 280, ,802
But Mr.. Roosevelt had American
Labor Party support in 1914 and the
ALP this year gave MIR. Wallace
423, ,424 votes.
Campaign Effective in Cities.
In Buffalo, the President beat
Gov. Dewey by 40,351, despite Mr..
Wallace's poll of 6,316 ALP votes,
whereas Mr.. Roosevelt, with ALP
help, defeated Gov. Dewey by 1926
there in 1914.
MIR. Roosevelt carried every State
in which the 13 cities are located
except Ohio. Mr.. Truman won Ohio,
but lost Maryland. Michigan, New
York and Pennsylvania.
The effect of the Presidents cam
paign against the Eightieth Con-
gress also was seen in the big city
vote. In nine of the 13 cities the
Democrats won Is House seats for
meriy held by Republicans-six in
New York City, five in Chicago, four
in Philadelphia, two each in Buff
falo, Detroit, Milwaukee and st.
Louis, and one each In Pittsburgh

discounted last night a London re-
port that President Truman is con-

No official comment was forth
coming, but sources familiar with
Mr.. Truman's plans said there was
not the slightest possibility he would
leave the Western Hemisphere at
any time in the foreseeable future.
The Sunday pictorial in London,
without giving the sources Of its
information, said the President
wants to see the Marshall Plan In
action. 1t said some Government
circles expected Mr.. Truman to visit
Europe in the spring.
In Washington, it was pointed out
that at that time Mr.. Truman will
be occupied with his legislative pro-
gram. The new democratic Con-
gress meets in January, but it can
not be expected to have the bulk
of Mr.. Truman's program ready
