DIXIE:
Anti-TrUMl0Hl

Although President Harry Truman
had not held forth publicly on the
subject of civil rights for some time
now. the echoes Of the civil rights
program he advanced earlier this
year were rafting around like
sabers south of the Mason-Dixon
line.
Alabama voters had expressed
themselves as being anti-Truman. In
the states primary election they
had given majorities to candidates
pledged to cast electoral votes
against the President because of the
civil rights issue.
It was the first concrete indica-
ton that a bolt from the regular
Democratic party nominee might
not be unlikely next November it
the nominee Clike Mr.. Truman) is
committed to supporting the civil
rights program.
And in Jackson, Miss, Estates
rights Democratic rally was key
noted with a flat prediction that
President Truman would not be re-
elected because he is not acceptable
to the nation or the southern Demo
Gratis.
Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina defined the South's stand
when he told the rally that the South
is not in revolt against the Demo
cratic party but against its present
leadership.
Spark that kindled the political
fire in the South was Mr.. Truman's
espousal Of proposals to pass fed
eral laws outlawing lynching, poll
taxes, Job discrimination and segre-
cation of races. Legislation Like
that, Governor Thurmond asserted.
would violate the historic principle
of the right of states to determine
their own attitude toward such mat
tiers.
There was talk at the Jackson
rally of holding a national nominal
ing convention of southern Demo-
Gratis at Birmingham if the regular
Democratic convention nominated
President Truman.
So far it was only talk, but anti
Truman feeling had crystallized In
the South to the point where party
Headers were badly worried. If the
Dixie Democrats carried their de-
lection to the ultimate point OF
nominating their own candidate. the
big-wigs might as well throw in the
sponge for the '48 elections and start
looking to 1852.

Housing Shortage

To the accompaniment Of vocifer-
Gus objections by various parlia-
ment members, the British govern
ment disclosed in the house Of COM
mons that it is spending 5000, 900 to
alter and nodernize the town house
of Princess Elizabeth and Prince
Philip.
Labor party members criticized
the move on the grounds that thous-
ands of Britons need homes more
than the Princess does.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS
BY BILL SCHOENTGEN
WNU Staff Writer
OVERTURE:
Peaceful

All Of a sudden the air between
Washington and Moscow was filled
with talk Of peace and desire for CO.
operation.
Exactly what had happened to
bring about the quick flow of the
milk Of human kindness between the
u. S. and Russia was not clear.
Certainly there had occurred no
basic change in the potentially ex-
plosive relationship.
1t began with u. S. statement
OF position, voiced by Beden Smith,
ambassador to Russia, in the pres
ence of Soviet Foreign Minister v.
M. Molotov.
Smith, apparently speaking Off
cially, suggested that the way is
clear for discussion Of differences
with Russia. Said the u. S. am
bassador:
''The present state of U. S.-Soviet
relations is a source of grievous
disappointment to the American
people. AS far as the United States
is concerned, the door is always
wide open for full discussion and the
composing Of our differences"
Russia's reply, as broadcast by the
Moscow radio, expressed a positive
attitude toward improving Soviet
American relations and stated that
Russia sis in agreement with
U. S. proposal for discussion and
settlement of existing differences.
Although these developments re-
ceived big play in the press and
radio OF both nations, indications
were strong that the aura of mutual
hostility separating the U. S. and
Russia might not be dispelled by the
Willingness to compose our differ
ences."
Neither side had modified its for
eign policy. Rather, each had en-
phasized it in the exchange of notes.
The u. S. statement said, in part:
''The concern and the determination
of the people of the United States
have been intensified by the inexpli
cable hostility of the Soviet govern
ment to the European recovery pro-
gram-a measure which in it's in
ception and subsequent develop
ments is so obviously only meas
ure of American assistance for re-
construction on a cooperative basis
without menace or threat to any
one.'
There was a suspicion abroad
that Russia, baked in its ambitions
to expand into western Europe by
the European recovery program.
might be ready now to try to make
some kind of deal.
