THE SPECTATOR
A GREAT VICTORY - WELL
DESERVED
BY Elliott j. Pieze

, DESERVED
It happened at 11:16 am. Wed
/ nesday.
It's impossible = but it isn't. 1t
can't happen - but it did. Dewey
cannot lose - but he did. Truman
cannot win - but he did. l realize
that they don't make sense put
such was the general attitude and
opinion of practically all Of the OPP
ponents of President Harry S. Tru-
man. shortly after 11:16 am. We'd
nesday, when Governor Thomas IL.
Dewey conceded the victory to
President Truman, as Chief Execu-
tive of the United States.
Spectacular is perhaps the
most appropriate term to describe
the victory achieved by the Presi-
dent on this Tuesday, November 2.
Yes sir and yes mann - spectacular,
even more spectacular than any and
all of the great victories achieved
by the late President Franklin ID.
Roosevelt. Harry s. Truman is truly
the peoples choice.
Despite the fact that his Demo
crat Party suffered two powerful
splits - with one faction backing
Henry Wallace, with his Progressive
Party, and the other faction back
ing J. Strom Thurmond, with his
States Rights despite the fact
that large number Of potentially
strong Democrats had done practi-
cally nothing to help him on his up
hill grind to victory - despite the
fact that all of the national pools,
all of the major newspapers and
commentators of this nation had
granted him virtually no chance at
all of victory - despite the fact
that the Republican Party had gone
about both financially and other
wise to defeat him even to the
unexpressed extent of hiding the
Dixiecrats financially in further
effort to defeat him, President Har-
ry s. Truman came through in shin
ming colors and was elected to the
Presidency of the Unitel States on
Tuesday, November 2,
The victory achieved by Presi-
dent Truman, means more than a
mans being elected to the highest
position in the nation. 1t means the
endorsement by the people of his
civil rights program, in which he
openly advocated that all persons
regardless Of race color or creed be
treated as men and women, enjoy
ing full rights and privileges under
the laws Of the land. at all times
and places - IT means an endorse
ment of his programs on low-cost
housing, the high cost of living, vet
Grams benefits and the many other
measures proposed by him to the
recent Congress, all of which were
deliberately blocked through the
various legislative machinery in the
/ Congress by the recent Republican
majority - and last, but by no
! means least. it means the never-to-
be-forgotten fact that the PEOPLE
still run this country and not the
Wall Street Politicians. Congratu-
iations to President Harry s. Tru-
man. upon victory we'll won and
deserved.

Certainly, | | should not interpose any objec, tion if it were demons rated to me that thls is esse tial in the interest of national secu ity | Our experience has always been that once withdrawals are made it is difficult, and generally downright impossible ever to have withdrawn land restored to public domain even if he ne ed for It's use m reservation status has parsed"

Reds as Fifth CoIumnists
Nv the Associnfad PYssa


STOCKHOLM, Mar. A swed-
ish senator called on his country
today to isolate Communists as q
fifth column.
Senator Ture Norman, a leader OF
the anti-Nazi movement In Sweden
during the war, said in the Social
Democratic newspaper Aftontid-
ningen:
"The Communists must be isolated
in Sweden. They are a potential
fifth column, just as dangerous as
the Nazis during the war"
Mr.. Norman said 1t is the duty OF
the Social Democratic Party ito
sever all ties with Stalin's Swedish
section and consider them not as
Democrats or leftists, but as mer-
cenary troops of a foreign empire"
The leading conservative news
paper, Svenska Dagbladet, said 1t
will boycott all news conferences
held by the Premier and the foreign
minister "as long as Communists are
allowed to partake in the delicate
discussions on foreign affairs and
military preparedness"
In Parliament last night, several
Social Democrats and liberals
turned sharply on the Communists,
likening them to the wartime Nazls.
