Truman Returns
From Labor Day
Tour
Will Begin Preparing
For Two-Week Swinq
To Pacific Coost
(Tert OF Trumans Detroit Speech,
Page A-5.)
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman returned to
Washington this afternoon after
"a whirlwind Labor Day speaking
tour in Michigan and Ohio.
He was expected to begin prep
arations at once for his next cam
pailgn trip and further efforts to
unite the farm and labor vote be-
hind his 194s election drive.
His next scheduled campaign
speech will be September 18 in Dex-
ter, Iowa. According to present
plans, this will be the opening
speech on a two-week swing which
will take the President to the West
Coast.
The Presidents special train
pulled into Union Station at 1890
pm. Aides reported Mr.. Truman
was very much cheered by the re-
suits of the trip through Michigan
and Ohio.
In the last talk of his Labor Day
swing, at Toledo last night, Mr..
Truman told a yelling, whistling
crowd that he intends to cover the
length and breadth OF this land
ana visit "at every whistle STOP
When someone in the crowd
yelled you are going to get all of
labor's vote" the President ap-
parently misunderstood and re-
torted:
What do you know about it.
Labor knows its friends. Labor
knows which side its bread is but
tered on"
Mr.. Truman's opening bid for
votes in his Labor Day speeches
indicated the campaign pattern will
be woven around these two prin-
cipal themes:
l. The argument that a Repuh-
lican victory in November may be
expected to bring on another de-
preston and more restrictive labor
laws.
2. Continuation of the attack on
the Republican-dominated Congress
for failing to act on legislation
sought by the President, particu-
larly to control prices, provide low
cost housing and education.
President Hits Hard.
Il was along this line that the
President hit hard yesterday in a
speaking marathon starting al
Grand Rapids, Mich, at the break.
fast hour, and ending near last
midnight, when Mr.. Truman bowed
out before the Toledo gathering
from the back platform Of his spe-
cial train.
Measured In terms of public turn
out, the Presidents trip yesterday
which took him from one side Of
Michigan to the other, and then
into Ohio, rates as a success.
Whether this will be translated into
votes remains to be seen.
In the course of Labor Day
speeches at Grand Rapids, Lansing,
Detroit, Pontiac and Flint, he was
seen by several hundred thousand
persons and had a chance to meet
lot of party workers and labor
leaders. The brief dip into Ohio
also afforded an opportunity to fix
some fences. And in sharp contrast
to the "nonpolitical" swing to the
coast in June, when party chiefs
were shooed away from the presi-
Dental special as though they had
something catching. they were well
coined with open arms yesterday.
Crowds Were Interested.
The crowds we're not particularly
demonstrative, but they always were
interested. The principal turnout,
of course, was at Detroit in early
afternoon where the President
spoke in Cadillac Square to a gath
ering police estimated at ITS, 200.
