MIAMI. Fla, Dec. 25.-The Miami
Herald and the Miami Daily News,
normally competitors with Sunday
morning editions, worked hand-in-
hand tonight to coordinate princt-
pal page one stories because OF a
printers strike.
Herbert Kelly, Daily News news
editor. and his brother, Roy Kelly,
Miami Herald telegraph editor, sat
side-by-side in the Daily News edi-

which both newspapers would use.
The Daily News then set the type
in it's composing room, and had diff
ferent headlines set for the Herald.
Both newspapers then made use of
the same type.
The local of the International Ty-

contends the difference involves

President Truman was man OF the
wear in 1s4s. He was chosen almost
unanimously by vote of the editors
of Associated Press newspapers.
The farm boy from Missouri who
prayerfully took over as Chief Ex-
ecutive when Roosevelt died IN l94o,
waged fighting campaign and
won an upset victory in l948. He
said he often yearned for his old
seat in the Senate. But when the
chips were down, he ignored the
experts. He told his party leaders
he would win-and he did.
He had Travelled long and
twisted road to the presidency. In
1906 he went into partnership with
his father and worked long hours to
keep the family farm going. Eleven
years later he was in World War I.
He went to France as a captain IN
the Missouri National Guard and
was promoted to major before the
war ended.
Business Failed.
After the war he failed in business
and was years paying of the result
ing debt. But in 1922, with the help
of the Pendergast machine in Mis-
souri,, he went into politics as q
member of the Jackson County gov
ernment.
He was first elected to the Senate
in 1884. When the Pendergast ma
chine faced charges Of dishonesty,
Truman was nearly defeated in the
1910 election. But investigators said
suspicion never once pointed at him.
Truman said Tom Pendergast never
asked him to do q dishonest thing.
In the early part of the war he
headed the Truman committee

of dollars by checking on war con-
tracts. In 1914 he took the nomi-

Change In Rent Regulation
Gives Break 10 Landlords
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

Landlords get a break under a
change in regulations announced
yesterday by Housing Expediter
Tighe E. Woods.
The change applies to a landlord
who petitions for a rent increase
under the hardship section of the
rent control law, or under the op-
erating-at-a-loww provision.
The landlord will be allowed "to
compute on O full annual basis any
increases in certain operating ex-
penses which were In effect" on the
day he filed his petition for an ad-
justment but which were not fully
reflected in the expenses actually
incurred during the present year.
Mr.. Woods said such a provision
had applied previously to taxes and
payroll items in showing operating
costs under showing of hardship.
Expense items which now can be
projected on an annual basis in a
hardship petition or an operating
at-a-loss appeal are:
Insurance, utilities and charges
imposed by State or local govern
ments for sewerage disposal or gar
bage collection.

problems with top American Of

and John Foster Dulles, his likely
successor. The Paris government
recognizes that the present labor
crisis is purely political and is en-
gineered by the Communists on
orders from Moscow.
Premier Queuille and Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman frankly
told the American representatives
that the Communist conspiracy is
bound to be successful because the
Reds have convinced the French
masses-and particularly the indus

war is imminent, and that France
will suffer a new invasion which
will destroy all that was left after

to allay the peoples fears by show

good will, loans, food and raw ma

ment, in effect, has asked that we

tential enemy and will fight to pre-

Red Leader Reported
In Southern Greece
By the Assoeioted Press

ATHENS, Oct. 30-The Liberal
newspaper Wilma said today that it
has an unconfirmed report that
Markos Vaflades, Communist rebel
leader. has parachuted into the
Southern Peloponnesus on Mount
parnon. where the guerrillas are re-
ported to have headquarters.
There has been no official con-
flrnation of the report.
There have been persistent rumors
recently that Vafiades might try to
send some of his Free Greece" gov
eminent members to the Pelopon-
nesus, in Southern Greece, where
rebel activity has been stepped up.
Hitherto, the guerrillas operated
near the Albanian or Yugoslav
borders
All Greece was placed under mar
tial law yesterday through a decree
signed by King Paul I.
The step was taken to strengthen
the government in its campaign
against the Communist guerrillas.
Athens and portion Of the coun-
try extending north to LAMA have
been under martial law for many
months. Earlier this week the
Pelonponnesus was added.
Under the decree, all violators of
public order, especially the Commu-
nists. may be tried bye military tri-
bunalS.

On the Other Hand
Take 1t, All in All, We Shall
Not Look Upon Its Like Again!

And it can be stated with equal
authority that the Republican nomi-
nee in 1948 has not withdrawn q
single word of the specific program
he enunciated for the Nation in
1914"
Knowing the reporter who wrote
that, it is safe to say the authority
for this amazing suggestion could
only be Gov. Dewey himself. What
he proposes is that the millions OF
independent voters who wish to
know what they are voting for, shall
undertake the prodigious labor of
digging up and studying all the
speeches Gov. Dewey made when he
was running against Mr.. Roosevelt
four years ago!
Yet this is the man understanding
not on performance nor even on
specific promises, but solely on ex-
allied pretensions-will, unless all
signs fail, be elected President OF
the United States on Tuesday.
One other strange feature Of this
election:
The Republicans seem likely to
lose control of the Senate, which
actually tried to accomplish some
thing useful in the notorious Eighth
ieth Session, and equally likely to
retain control of the House, which
defeated all such efforts.

This Changing World
De Gaulle Rule Seen in Next Few Weeks
Unless France Is Plunged in Anarchy

This We have refused to do, for
the simple reason that we are not in
a position to give such guarantee
with complete honesty. The Ameri-
can Government has explained TO
the French leaders that we could
not fulfill such a pledge at this
time, because we ourselves lack the
necessary military forces.
The American government is said
to have intimated to the French
that it would be willing to make
a public announcement that the
United States considers any ag-
erosion against the free countries
of Europe, from whatever source, as
an attack against America, and
would go to war Immediately with
the aggreSsor In other words, we
would be willing to honor President
Roosevelt's statement during World
War II that Americas frontier is
on the Rhine.
Will Go No Further.
1t is conceivable that we would
20 further than Mr.. Roosevelt and
put such a statement in writing
for the sake of the terrified Euro
peans. But it would be dishonest.
the American Government told the
French, to give any other pledge
which We know we could not make
good.
Whether the Queuille govern
ment is satisfied with this explana-
ton is difficult to say. 1t does
consider such a promise much too
general to satisfy the rank and
file of French people. AS con-
sequence the Paris government has
not dared to touch the root of the
evil-the Communist leaders, who
are engaged now in fomenting civil
war.
The reason Maurice Thorez,
Jacques Duclos and others have
not been put behind bars is that
the French government fears Rus
sia's reactions to any such action.
France frankly admits that If these
persons-who are French citizens
only before the law-were arrested,
their detention might become the
sie..al for increased violence.
France is not in position today
to take such a risk simply to re-
Duke the Moscow Politburo.
The Queuille government is re-
signed to expulsion from office when
ever the present wave of strikes
spread considerably. This develop
ment is expected in the next few
weeks.

seeking to supplant the present &C.
cupant of the White House, finds 1t
unnecessary to tell what he will do
in office and what his views are on
the public issues. That surely is
strange.
The new contender does, to be
sure, tell what kind of a Presi-
dent he proposes to be. He will
be efficient, vigorous, friendly, CO.
operative, firm, courageous, toler-
ant, competent, energetic, resolute,
stable, fearless, adequate, forceful
and effective. He says so. And he
does tell one thing he will do in
Office. He will lead from strength. -
That he has said many times, al
though he hasn't said what he'll
lead or where he'll lead it.
Kept Views to Himself.
AS for his views on most of the
public issues. he has kept them to
himself. So doing, he has broken a
promise to the people he is asking
to elect him. In his first major
speech of the campaign. made in
Des Moines, the candidate said that
the generalities of that speech
would be followed as the campaign
progressed by specific discussion of
all the issues. This, however,
hasn't happened and now the cam
paign is over.
The candidates evasions have
not been overlooked. Newspapers
favorable and unfavorable to his
candidacy have pointed them out
and have urged him to tell what
he has in his mind. But the best
they have been able to obtain from
the candidate is this remarkable
assertion in the final week of the
campaign:
Governor Warren and I have
fully and frankly stated our views
on the issues of this campaign"
This simply isn't so. The eva
sions have been so palpable that
friendly correspondents, writing
from Albany, have considered it
useful to explain them away. Re-
lerrlng to the 1914 campaign. these
reporters have written stories like
the following, published by the New
York Times:
Mr.. Dewey felt then that he had
to be much more specific about
what he would do about problems,
If elected, and his speeches had
much more meat in them.
While the Governor is not dis
posed to reply to President Tru-
mans haunting demands that he
discuss this years issues in more
detail, it can be stated, with au-
thoritative backing, that those
wanting Mr., Deweys views more
specifically are urged to re-read
his 1914 campaign speeches, which
caused many Republicans to feel
that he had Endorsed the New Deal
| too fully.

New Albeneri 7 rio
Excels in Program
Of Franz Schubert
By Alice Eversmon

The music Of Franz Schubert sup
piled the program given in the Lii
brary OF Congress last night under
the auspices Of the Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge Foundation. It
also marked the local debut of the
Albeneri Trio in its partly reor-
eanized form with Giogio Ciompi
taking the place of Alexander
Schneider as violinist. The group,
formed about four years ago with
Mr.. Schneider, made its first ap-
pearance here at Meridian Hill Park
during the summer season and has
played since then under Mrs. Cool
idge's sponsorship in the Library.
Benar Heifetz. cellist, and Erich Itor
Kahn. pianist, completed the en-
senible last night, as they have since
its inception
1t is not often that an evening of
music Is devoted entirely to Schu-
bert. The performance of his two
piano trios and the violin and piano
Sonata in A major" released a
wealth of melody and engaging
rhythms never clouded by a sombre
thought. If there be an objection to
this music, 1t lies in the many
repetitions of the themes without
any complicated development al
though, here again, the ear is
charmed by the facile inventiveness
and originality. The graceful flow
ing lines and, at times, sprightly
daintiness come bubbling forth from
that inexhaustible spring from
which the composer drew his song
full melodies.
To strike the just measure in an
ensemble where the strings and
piano tone are united is not an
easy task. In the Trio in B fat
major, op. &c. Schubert has woven
these dissimilar tones together most
expertly while giving to each an
equal prominence. The members of
the Albeneri Trio were not thor
oughly successful in establishing the
equation or in emphasizing the Sc
renity Of the music which is present
even in its most virile moments.
Mr.. Ciompi's tendency is toward the
dramatic and often the violin led
the other instruments beyond the
border of the Schubertian style.
There was much more smoothness
in the performance of the Trio in
E fiat major, op. 100" where the
greater weight of the music brought
out a better balance.
Mr.. Heifetz's solo measures in the
Andante of the latter Trio were
beautifully and expressively played
and in the echoing violin part, Mr.
