ALI In all not q bad group to be-

vember, Mr.. Truman can take pride
In the company he keeps.
He can also take satisfaction from
the feeling that he wasn't beaten
by the opposition party but by
hostile elements within his own.
Damage to Party Is Clear.
The great damage to his prospects
offered by Henry Wallace's third
party has been clear for some time
The damage that can be done by
the Southern rebellion against his
civil rights program is becoming
clearer each day, as the rebels, saws
In hand, crawl farther and farther
out on the limb. Whether or not
they succeed in throwing their elec-
toral votes to somebody else, the
damage viii be done. The party will

and demoralized, not united and
aggressive.

let the votes fall where they may. He

statesmen than he can abandon hia
foreign policy to appease Henry
Wallace. II he were In the least
disposed to do either Of those. thinsa
he would ind that the time had
passed. And, Of course, he Ia not %
disposed.
Purely as o matter OF politics, il
for no better reason, he cannot quit
the fight for civil rights. That would
end any hope of his getting the
Northern Negro and Independent
vote, essential to carrying impor-

back information : which on the
surface seem innocuous but In fact
shows the many facets Of the Red
army's preparedness for action. The
following facts were brought to the
attention Of the Western govern
ments. The -four: shortage. Is such
that even the Soviet hierarchy, ex-
cept Of course the top, ranking COM
n1issars, cannot obtain bread; there
is q super abundance Of goat meat
and mutton on the market. The
prices are 50 low that these other
wise luxury" food items are within
the reach Of almost all consumers.
The official explanation by the Co
Wet government Is that prices have
been debated because OF; the 6e-
valuation Of the ruble.
In, military quarters; however, .
better explanation is offered.
-.; Need for Heavy Clothing.
The Soviet military forces must be
equipped with heavy winter clothing
such as flr-lined coats and fur nit
tens. The Moscow government, an
.ticipating a large increase OF It's
military establishments in the near
future-in all likelihood by next fall
is getting this equipment ready for
its reserve forces and has ordered
the slaughtering of millions Of sheep
and goats whose skins will provide
fur for. the military forces: The gov
ernment at the same time has al
lowed the meat to be sold to the
people who are enjoying temporarily
an abundance which they have not

cording to some reports, granaries
especially built for that purpose con-
tain enough grain to last the Rus
sian armies for ut least three years.
There Is also 4 great lack Of saso-
line in the U. g. s. r. today. The
reason for this shortage Is the. same
as for wheat
The Soviet government, taking
into account the possibility Of de-
struction Of its oil wells and re-
fineries 1T Baku, Grozny and Polesti
In Romania, has started boarding
gasoline and oil in underground
tanks In many strategic areas Of the
country extending from Poland to
Siberia. The quantities Of oil, pur-
chased until lately on the West Coast
Of the United States and taken to
vladivostok In American lend -lease
tankers, have been refined in that
area and slowed away tor any
emergency"
Resolution Unheeded.
The Commerce Department, act
ing on advice from the State DE-
partment, refused last summer to
heed q resolution from the House Of
Representatives that no further
shipments OF oil be permitted to 60
to Russia. The explanation given
WAS that the quantities were rela.
lively small ana an embargo on such
shipments would offend 4 friendly
power" and hinder the State De-
partment's efforts to 1ind. . peace
full solution in the growing conflict
with the U. 8. g.. r. At that time the

the State Department still hoped
that the Soviet representatives
might: come to London In . "co-
operating" mood.
Reports from the satellite oosin-
tries indicate that their factories

ing feverishly on war materials.
This is particularly true about the
Czechoslavak Skoda works, which
was practically RACED by American
bombers before Germany's surrender
but had been rebuilt in 4 remark
ably short time. This most import
ant industrial center in Central
Europe has now been. completely

Lying In Alley

A dead man was found Sun
DAY morning lying in an alley

was identified as Obay Ander-

No evidence that his pockets
had been riflcd could be found.
and the decorations over his left
eye could have been caused by
a fall on the ice, police believe.
Witnesses testified that he had
been drinking in a neraby
garage home the night before.
