AS a result of several indi-
vidual county revolts and a
smashing statewide defeat,
the power that Boss crump of
Memphis has welded over
Tennessee politics for Amos
10 years seems on the wane.
Gordon Browning, a former
Crump ally, but now his bitter
political foe, defeated the old
Red Snapper's candidate for
governor on a platform to end
one-man rule in Tennessee poll
tics. His candidate for the u.
S. Senate ran a poor third IN
a three man race. Young Estes
Kefauver won the Senate post
handily despite a personal cam
paign by Crump in which he
purchased full-page ads in viz
tually every newspaper IN Ten
nessee in a frantic effort to
villify and smear Kafauver.
Crump even went to the
length of trying to pin a Red
label on Kefauver, and brand
him as being a follower of the
Communist line. He dropped
his attack from this angle,
however, when Kefauver pro-
posed than an investigation be
made by an impartial board
appointed for that purpose. II
the investigation showed that
he ever followed the Commun-
ist line Kefauver offered to
withdra wfrom politics. If how
ever, it showed that he was
not a Communist and had not
followed the Communist line,
then Mr.. Crump would be
bound to withdraw from poll
tics for the rest of his life. Mr..
crump let that one lay, and
oranched off on another tack.
It is hard for d political ma
chine like Mr.. Crump's to re-
cover from such a smashing
defeat The strength of the ma
chine lies in the precinct cap
tains, ward bosses and county

Foresee Bumper Crop. But
MEAT PRICES-The price of
meat is due to remain high
along with other prices. House
wives can take little comfort
from the prospect of bumper
crops of corn, wheat and other
grains.
The Agriculture department
predicts a l948 harvest of
1928, 1862, 900 bushels of corn
and 1,241, ISL, 900 bushels of
wheat. However, that doesn't
mean that prices are coming
down.
If the huge yields material
ize, much of it may be used for
the foreign export program.
Moreover, farmers are expect
ed to hold back much of their
stock for breeding and fatten-
ing.
This means that even if grain
is diverted for domestic use
there will still be fewer cattle
sent to market. And a continu-
ed short supply of meat means
continued nigh prices.

Wallace May Support
Truman. Demos Hope!
Such a Move Possible.
Some Leaders Believe
Special to Central Press

SuCn a move POSSIBLE
Some Leaders Believe
Special to Central Press
WASHINGTON-Certain high
officials of the Democratic par
ty make no secret of their be-
lief that Henry Wallace will
throw his support to President
Truman toward the end of the
approaching political campaign
Rexford Guy Tugwell, once
a ranking member of the New
Deal brain Trust and now
one of Wallace's top advisors,
has strongly limited that such
a move is in the making.
Tugwell stated publicly that
he approves of the platform
adopted at the Democratic ma
tional convention and that he
believes Mr.. Truman to be a
very good man."
AS Democratic leaders see it,
Wallace will use his Third Par
ty to advance his own views
and ambitions up to a crucial
point in the campaign.
Then, rather than see his
votes-and such experts as
James A. Farley have estimat-
ed that he could get five mil
lion of them-go to waste, he
will make a dramatic declara-
ton in favor of the president.
All of this is expected to come
about despite Texas Rep. Sam
Rayburn's bitter denunciation
of Wallace as the pied Piper
of the Politburo' and similar
scathing remarks by other
Democrats.
RUSSIAN PLANES - Best
available information indicates
that Russia is building more
and possibly better warplanes
than the United States. That
does not tell the whole story
however.
1t takes men to fly planes
fire their guns and keep them
in tip top shape. In these de-
partments, the United State:
has a decided edge.
In World War ii, the Red:
actually had only one branch
in the air-ground force sup,
port. The Russians were splen.
did, daring low-level strafer!
in support of foot soldiers.
Ground support aviation
however, is simple and direc
and unencumbered with thu
complicated planning necessary
for full execution of the round
ed air-power concept. Russi;
developed no top air tactician'
in the last war like our owl
Gen. Carl Spaatz and 1t. Gen
Curtis LeMay,
The Russians are green il
heavy bombing, interrogation
and all other air phases excep
ground support. On the othe
hand. the United States il
World War ii developed NOR,
than three million airmen
trained in all phases.
PRICE CONTROL ARGU
MENTS = President Truman
will now be able to make GU
a stronger cas- for price con
trolls than at any previous time
But his pleas will fall on deaf
er ears, not only among Re
publicans but in the ranks 0
his own supporters.
There are several reasons 70
this. One is the fact that h,
announced the recall of Con
gress at the Democratic con
vention. Therefore, many leg
islators feel that his motive wa
purely political.
Another reason is that yer.
few members of Congress VIII
are running for reelection w
vote for price-wage ceiling
three months before election.
The president, however. Wi
be able to present some stron
arguments, so strong in fac
as to almost cancel the polite
al odor of the special sessio
call. United States Steel help
ed his case by increasing stet
prices. Furthermore, a ne,
round of wage increases is add
