The Mats, meanwhile, were capi-

Wight, who walked seven before
Washington shelled him from the
mound in the fourth inning. The
Mats accumulated only six hits, with
Tom Mcbride accounting for three,
but they were inserting the hits
at timely intervals.
Washington scored twice In the
second inning on three walks, Ap-
pings error and singles by Nc
Bride and AL Evans. The Mats
picked up another run in the third
when Vernon reached base on
Michaels' tumble, shifted to second
on McBrides single, to third as
Johnny Sullivan walked and scored
on passed ball.

However, the departments of

CAB Considering Change
In Constellation PropelIers

safety bureau today was considering
a change in the type of propellers
used on the Constellation airliners

Mr.. Forrestal has said plainly

Oil Shipped to Port Arthur.
Until only few weeks ago Soviet
tankers were carrying American oil
from the West Coast to Siberia and
Port Arthur. It Is assumed that
much of that cargo is being used by
Russian submarines in the Pacific.
Oil available in Sakhalin is no.

needs of Russian armament fac
tories east Of the Urals and at the
same time provide the necessary fuel
for the IS or 40 Soviet submarines

Our Government is still most
anxious to preserve toward the
U. s. S. r. a strictly correct atti-
tude. in spite of that powers un-
mistakable hostility toward the
United States and all its friends.
This explains the legalistic attitude
adopted by President Truman, who
stated at his press conference-on
the advice of State and Commerce
Departments-that the shipments of
materials which Russia could use for
war is proper because they were
ordered In 1946.

these goods as little short Of high

M Time for 1852.
Truman's View Different.
Mr.. Truman is said to see the
situation a little differently. He
feels, it is said, that the country
is rapidly achieving a national
unity that is. likely to change the
whole picture. The people of all
parties now rallying against our po-
tential foreign enemy are, in his
mind, rallying to his leadership and
in support of .his policies. Cali ex-
cept the Palestine policy, to be sure.)
During the coming summer and
fall this national solidarity can be
to grow still stronger. And
the people will then be expected to
remember what somebody once said
about changing horses in mid
stream!
Furthermore, so it is told, the
President is impressed by the paral-
lei between his own case and that
of Abraham Lincoln in 1856. Nobody
thought Lincoln could win. All of
his enemies and some of his friends
urged him to withdraw. But he
stayed in and won in walk.
The professionals don't quite see
this parallel. They say frankly

margin Of some 10000 votes out of
100000 votes cast.
An independent election tribunal
reviewed the election and found for
Mr.. Ulate. The government-con-
trolled Congress nullified Mr.. Ulate's
claim.

luton. Jose Figueres, planter edu-

sHe is entitled to this optimism
concerning his nomination, at least.
Nobody in professional politics
really believes that anybody else
will be nominated. Nobody, with
one possible exception - James
A. Farley, whose capacity for kid
ding himself has always been q
source of wonder to the real pro-
fessionals. And Mr.. Farley would
agree with the others If the presi-
dental bug that got into his sys-
tenn following Mr.. Roosevelt's Sc
cond election would ever lie down
and die. AS it is, he still thinks
that everybody who calls him Good
Old Jim" is ready to get out and
work for his nomination and elec-
ton If given a chance. He didn't
discourage those well-heeled friends
who bought up whole tables at the
recent Jefferson-Jackson Day din
ner-at thousand dollars crack
in order to give him an ovation.
What the Good Olds' See.
But the old timers, who were
working at the trade before Roose-
velt brought Jim on the scene and
who have continued to work at
1t since Mr.. Farley picked up his
marbles and walked of, don't have
illusions of that kind The good
old Eds, Kelly and Flynn. don't and
the same applies to Good Old
Frank Hague and Good Old Dave
Lawrence. It Is possible therefore
for them to see the predicament
of their party more clearly. un-
affected by personal astigmatism, so
to speak.
What they see is the nomination
of President Truman, with nobody
else given serious consideration.
The four men named were asked
point blank one day this week, fol-
lowing a rash of reports indicating
a revolt among the Northern reg
ulars. They all replied that it was
silly for the party to talk about
anybody except Mr.. Truman. That
accounted for most of the little
band which produced Mr.. Truman
as a substitute for Henry Wallace
IN 1914. The one man of that group
not questioned was Bob Hannegan,
'ut he was known to be in Florida
