GUARD:
| Exhaustion

Soon after the 81st congress con-
venes on January 3 it will be re-
quested to boost the authorized
strength Of the national guard by
100, 1000 men and put all its units on
a ready-for-war basis.
And the way things look now, II
appears that congress will agree to
that request.
Guard officials said they would
ask that the authorized strength be
increased from the pres emit 341 900
to AL 900. This, of course, would
require special appropriations for
armories and equipment.
These officials in Washington said
they also will ask that all q divi-
sions Of the national guard be in
cluded in the army's stepped-up
defense program.
The army so far has selected
only six of the 81 divisions for its
mobilization day" force. the out
fit that would be ready to strike
back first If this nation were to be
attacked.
Army spokesman, however, claim
their present funds and equipment
cannot support more than six guard
units on a war-ready basis.

Loan Shop Owner Discovers
Bargain Furs Are Expensive

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. - Ma
Sacks was sad. Those two $3.50 fur
scarves he bought for $50 each had
been such bargains too.
Detective Sgts. George Hubbard
and Ernest Hughes said Sacks, pro-
prietor Of a loan company, told
them a man came in some time ago
offering a scarf he said was worth
$3.50 for $50. Sacks bought it. Some
time later the same man came back
with another-also valued at $3.50.
The scarf man returned to the
loan company a third time. Sacks,
suspicious. whispered to the detec-
tives, who were in his office. They
arrested the man on a vagrancy
charge.
Detectives listened to his story
and then arrested his former wife
on a vagrancy charge. Sacks was
surprised when he learned her iden-
tity.
The woman, he told detectives,
was his employee and the scarves
he had bought were from his own
vault.

Plane With Radical
Wing Design Makes
Successful Fiqht

HAGERSTOWN, MD. An air
craft with wings like two halve.
Of a barrel cut lengthwise made
its first successful flight, Willard
R. Custer. inventor Of the strange
machine, said.
The craft uses what is known as
the Cluster channel wing" Eventu'
ally it will have two straight wings
along with the semi-circular air
foils but Custer said the device is
being flown with only the channel
wings to demonstrate that they
alone can lift it.
The pilot on several short, straight
flights at Municipal airport was
Frank D. Kelley. commercial pho
tographer.
The plane has two .75-horsepower
engines set on spars cross the top
Of the two semicircles. The pro-
pellers are at the trailing edge of
the channel. They draw air through
the channel, giving the effect of
high forward speed even when the
machine is standing still.
Because Of that, Custer said, the
plane is able to rise almost verti-
cally. He said the plane took off
at a speed of about 80 miles an
hour and rose very sharply. Be-
cause Of the radical design and
necessity Of acquainting himself
with the strange ship, Kelley went
up only Is feet or so on the first
flight, Custer said.
The plane has no brakes. Take-off,
flight and landing must be done
within the length of a single run
way until the machine can be ma
neuvered for a circuit of the field.
This probably will not be done, Gus
ter said. until straight wings are
added cupboard Of the channels.
Custer, a former automobile me-
chanic, has been working on the
invention at his small chicken farm
west Of here for 10 years. More
than 5000, 900 has been invested.

Wife's Character Affects

CLEVELAND.-A man who gets

WHAT NOW?
Program

Now that it is going to be Presi-
dent Truman again for the next
four years, what can the nation eX-
pect of him to do along legislative
lines?
His program will probably be
elucidated in two phases, his annual
message to be delivered to the jan
uary 8 opening of congress and his
inaugural address or January 20.
In the meantime, if his campaign
speeches are taken as being rea-
sonably reliable, MI. Truman has
committed himself to a program
involving these principal issues:
PRICES: I'm still in favor Of ac-
ton to hold down the cost Of liv-
ing" He wants price control laws,
the President indicated.
LABOR: 1.-The Taft-Hartley law is
the opening gun in the Republican
onslaught against the rights of the
working man. 1t should be re-
pealed." He also is expected to
ask for the raising of the minimum
wage from 40 to IS cents an hour.
COMMUNISTS: I'VE are on guard
against them"
CIVIL RIGHTS: I'VE cannot be sat-
isfied until all our people have equal
opportunity for jobs, homes. edu-
cation, health and for political ex-
preston"
AGRICULTURE: Full markets for
farm products a floor under

income through cooperatives, mar
ket development and research"

JOY O
about Harry

Astonishment at the reelection o.
President Truman was not confined
within the boundaries of the United
States, and United Nations delegate:
in Paris received the news with a
mixture of incredulity and happi-
ness.
MAJORITY opinion among the
delegates seemed to be that it was
a good thing.
First, the western European lead
ers said, the continuity of the
American government will hasten
Atlantic pact negotiations. If Gov
ernor Dewey had been elected an
inevitable delay would have result
ed, pending the switch in admin
iStrationS.
Second, most of the delegates Of
Russia and the eastern bloc Of Eu-
rope, although chagrined at the
miserable showing Of Henry Wal
lace, asserted they preferred Mr..
Truman to Dewey because they will
be dealing with a man and admin
istration with which they r &C.
quainted.
THERE is some doubt, however.
as to whether that is the real Soviet
attitude. The Russians and their
satellites had been banking on a
Republican victory because they
were sure that if a COP administra-
ton took over in the U. S. the last
great depression that would destroy
western capitalism would inevitably
come.
They do expect, however. that Mr.
Truman, now having the support Of
congress, will make a fresh ap-
proach toward improving U. S.
Soviet relations. probably renewing
an effort to untangle the Berlin puz-
zle.
Concensus Of all the delegates is
that the success Of President Tru-
man demonstrates the unexpected
strength of the liberal element in
America combined with a powerful
anti-C Communist attitude.

CONGRESS-:
Demo Gains

Although they had needed a mel
gain of only four senate and 81
house seats for control Of the 81st
congress, the Democratic party did
much better than that.
By the time Dewey conceded the
election. the Democratic party was
assured of at least Is senators
against five for the Republicans and
1873 representatives against Sc for
the Republicans.
Forty-nine votes are necessary
for senate control. The Democrats
now have 81. Democrats have
clinched at least 1853 house seats.
Only 218 are necessary for control.
Republican senators seeking re-
election were defeated by Demo-
Gratis in West Virginia, Kentucky,
Oklahoma. Wyoming, Minnesota,
Iowa, and Illinois. In other con
tests where Democrats we're seek
ing reelection they won.
Colorado's Democratic Senator
Johnson was a winner in his re-
election campaign. In Oklahoma,
where a Republican seat was at
issue, former Gov. Robert Keer.

Republican Senator Revercombe
was defeated in West Virginia by

ELECTION:
Ghost Walked

The night of November % wa
supposed to have been a wake fol
the defunct Democratic party bu
the corpse wouldn't lie still. It no
only sat up but went around slap
ping the premature mourners or
the back.
IN THE FACE of the supposedly
cut-and-dried nature of the cam.
paign between President Truman
and Governor Dewey the results OF
the election were fantastic. Every.
body had been ~wrong-from the Sec
ond-guessers on every street cor
ner to the 'infalible" pollsters OF
public opinion.
It was Truman all the way
from the first early returns which
indicated the trend until the great,
pivotal states of Ohio, Illinois and
California swung over into the DEM
ocrats' camp, crushed Dewey and
forced him to concede.
MR.. TRUMAN'S two million-plus
plurality which gave him 304 cleo
toral votes Ito Dewey's 1880 was
nothing less than a popular direc-
tive to serve.
Thus, for the first time since he
entered the White House, President
Truman was able to feel that he
had full, untrammeled control Of
the administration.
MORE THAN that, the President
was enormously elated about the
fact that the Democrats had gained
control of both houses of congress.
How justifable that citation will turn
out to be, however. is a question for
time to answer.
1--WE have a congress now. and
I'm sure Well make some progress
in the next four years." he said.
Yet, full cooperation between a
U. S. president and his congress.
even when they are aligned politi-
cally. is, if not quite a rarity. at
least unusual. :
Personalities
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York must have been the most tor
mented man in the nation for a
few days after November 2.
AT As, an age when most men in
politics are only beginning their
climb to the top. he had sat for a
few weeks on an imaginary pin
nacle - created by himself. with
yeoman help from the pollsters-
only to feel it dissolve under him
when the votes were counted.
Dewey was through. a man to be
pitied. Never again would he find
the ambition or the chance to be
president Of the United States.
BUT FOR President Truman
these were days Of such happiness
and triumph as few men SAVIOR in
a lifetime. He had pummeled his
way through the allotted number Of
rounds in the campaign almost sim
gle-handedly.
He had fought Dewey and the
Republicans. He had fought the
Of his W party. He had
for and won over to his side
a majority of the United States
Harry S. Truman was the man Of
he year.
