Moines the other night brought this
lesson home. AS for how he sound
ed, it was like the careful high
school elocution of his earlier days.
Which need not alarm his friends
if they remember that he started
out that way four years ago, but
loosened up in due time and was
talking like a natural person before
the battle was over.
As for the audience reaction. 1t
was hard to tell. His opening para
graphs were applauded as fast as he
finished them. There being nothing
of import in those paragraphs, one
was led to wonder whether the
audience had been coached after
the manner of Harold Stassen's re-
cent little Detroit gathering. If SO,
the coach still has some work to do,
for the effect on us radio listeners
wasn't so good. Sounded like the
squealing section Of Drake Uni
versity had been grouped around
one of the mikes, taking its signals
from a shrill soprano cheer leader.
Not very convincing. Walter lib
balls, National Committee radio i'm
presario. take note.
Now, in cold type the speech that
aroused all the real or synthetic
enthusiasm. The significant pas
sages. presumably, were those con-
tanning the candidates pledges to
the people. He pledged that his
every act as President would be de-
voted to the good of the country;
that his foreign policy would be
based on the firm belief that we can
have peace; and finally:
IT pledge to you a Government
Of teamwork. . y I pledge to you
an administration which will know
how to work with the elected repre-
sentatives of the people in the Con-
gress, an administration that wants
to work with them and will do so.
The unity we need for the Nation
will be practiced in the Nations
Capitol
Among the things for which this
unified team will work, he indicated,
are relief from high prices, more
homes for the people, support prices
for farmers. preservation of labor's
gains, security for old folks and an
end to racial and religious intoler-
ance.
Reader Gets Mixed Up.
At this point the thoughtful read
er is apt to get little mixed up.
He knows it will be nice to have
teamwork in Washington, with the
administration working harmoni-
ously with the elected representa-
tives of the people in Congress. He
knows also, however, that, based on

man plants and other Preparations.
1t is true that from the strictly
legal point of view, and on the basis
of the Potsdam agreements, those
nations as well as the USSR are
entitled to reparations from West
ern Germany.
Stretches a Bit Far.
But Moscow and its stooges are
far from seeking a settlement OF
the war problems and obviously are
preparing for aggression. Thus, 1t
seems that our passion for legality
stretches a bit far.
Secretary of Defense Forrestal Is
said to have voiced his displeasure
over continued shipments of mate
rial-which can be used for war
preparation-to countries which
may become our potential enemies
But so far he has received little
satisfaction.

to the shipment of diesel locomo-
tives to the USSR. The Soviet IN
ion is still in difficulty over her
transportation and even few pow
erful diesels would go a long way
in solving them.
When objections are raised
against these locomotive shipments
the constant answer is that they
are made on contracts with Amtorg,
the Russian trading company, and
there is nothing that can be done
about it. The Commerce Depart
ment could, of course, refuse to
license the shipments, but, it is said,
this would mean loss to the man
ufacturers, since locomotives are
built for the wide-gauge Russian
railways and are of no use in any
other country.

Pulling a rickshaw doesn't seem
to be as gruelling Job as many
foreigners think it is. Once the
rickshaw is underway, it seems to
carry the puller along. Too. most
of the pullers I have seen have legs
and chests of very ample proper
tons, indicating that the task isn't
TOO unhealthful. Also, when an in

pushers standing along the streets,

ments instill any apprehensions In
the candidate, he will surely rush
out of his corner like another Pitts
burgh windmill, as he did when
Harold Stassen threatened him in
the crucial Oregon primary. There
is no sign of misgivings yet.
Edwin F. Jackie, the astute and
experienced Buffalo boss. is aboard

feather-smoother of the local as

amiable veteran, ex-senator John
Townsend, master-m minds the sena-
torial situations, which afford the
principal, almost only, chance OF an
upset in November.
Pre-empts Roosevelt Role.
But Gov. Dewey has pre-empted
successfully the role of Mr.. Roose-
welt, the champion, and is letting
President Truman be the ALI Lam
don, the Wendell Willkie-or the
Dewey-of the piece. That he Is
getting away with it appears from
the plaintive cries now emanatlng
from the presidential special, just
ahead of this one, that the Presi-
dents attacks are getting no answe,
from MI. Dewey.
This was the cry raised in '36
40 and "A against the incumbent
President, but Mr.. Roosevelt stayed
1lnon his lofty plateau. only Occa-
sionally and toward the end-in &c
and -condescending to notice
his rivals because he had shifted

sively and in force--a pattern GER
