TIP for Mr.. Truman

The Presidents western tour, which gets
under way next Thursday, Is billed as a
strictly nonpolitical affair. Yet even If this
be accepted at face value, 1t might be
worth while, as the President meets the
people, for his advisers to give some
thought to this question: Is it not possible
that one reason why Mr.. Truman is in the
political dog house with some of his former
friends traces back to the fact that his
dog is not in the White House?
In certain minds for political hopeful
to resist the appeal of puppy is as ques-
tionable as to suggest that bride is not
beautiful or that home is not sweet. Such
people. who were ready to take the short
step from loving his dog to loving him,
have not felt the same toward Mr.. Tru-
man since Feller, the gift spaniel, was
evicted from the White House last Janu-
ary. From their outraged comments, one
might think that the President had ban
ished his "best friend" to Siberia instead
of to the comfortable home of Brigadier
General Graham.
As a matter of fact, Feller is probably
out there chewing up the generals best
oAppSAo al AdSC az UeulS Wy pdSSGQ 1OE
campaign service. And Senator McGrath
is missing a good bet, because spaniels
are the politicians of the canine world
Notorious publicity hounds and tireless
dispensers of smiles and kisses, they make
friends easily and forget Sights quickly
Unlike the Roosevelts' Fala, a Scottie,
Feller would never tangle with Congress.
His kind spurns the bone of contention
Their stock in trade is the reproachful look
of ward boss deprived of a promised
postmastership. Under Feller's limpid eye,
voter would accuse himself of cruelty to
animals should he mark a ballot for any
one but his master.
The Democrats should remember that
Feller is a natural-born retriever who
might we'll 60 fetch the Presidents popu
larity and lay it at his feet.

Satellite Collective Forminq

One of the outstanding projects of the
Communist System-and one Of the most
difficult to put into Effects the collec-
tivization OF agriculture. In Soviet Russia
the collectivization program was first Wig
orously pushed under the original Five
Year Plan of 1928-32. It at once ran into
the stubborn opposition of the peasantry
and was put through only after the most
ruthless measures, including the mass
deportation of millions of peasants,
dubbed "Kulaks" or exploiters, and the
deliberate starvation of several million
stubborn recalcitrants in the Ukraine,
where individual land-holding was most
firmly established
The Soviet system of collective farming
is now in process of transplantation to
the belt of countries running from the
Baltic states to the Balkans which have
fallen under Soviet control. And it is in
teresting to observe that the program is
running into the same peasant recalci
trance as in the Soviet Union.
An enlightening report culled from
Soviet sources has just been published by
DR.. Harry Schwartz, specialist in Soviet
CCO1lUulICS. ao yCG, CllC odUSllltC SONClA-
ments have not ventured to 60 much be-
yond intensive propaganda coupled with
special inducements to peasant families
who elect to enter farming collectives.
This Is certainly true of the Baltic states,
despite the fact that these former inde
pendent nations-Esthonia, Latvia, and
Lithuania-have been formally incorpo-
rated as component republics of the Soviet
Union. 1t is probable that sterner meas
ures are in prospect, because official warn
ings have been issued that "Kulaks" may
soon be severely dealt with.
Especially significant is the current stu
alton in the Ukraine This distinctive lin
guistic and cultural region has now been
absorbed into the Soviet Union with the
cessions of the western provinces from
Poland and the Carpathian district from
Czechoslovakia. That peasant opposition
in these new acquisitions should be gen.
eral is to be expected. But similar re-
luctance is being shown in the Soviet por
tion, despite the terrible punishment in
flicted a generation ago. The reason for
the recrudescence of opposition is that,
under the German occupation, land was
restored to individual peasant holdings,
and those peasants are reluctant to return
to the collective pattern.
The one place where collectivization
seems to be successful is the northern
part of the former German province of
East Prussia, which was unlaterally pro-
claimed Soviet possession by Moscow.
The reason for this local success is two
fold. In the first place, East Prussia was
land of great estates held by the
Junkers and those estates were not di-
vided into small holdings but we're kept
intact as collective farms. Secondly, most
of the German population either fled or
has been expelled, and their places have
been filled by colonists imported from the
Soviet Union. Presumably these have
been carefully chosen as docile members
of the new collective system that has been
established

 MT. Truman referred to the Hoover administration in a series of campaign speeches yesterday in New Jersey where many rally signs read-"We want low cost housing"
 MT. Truman said the people should vote the Democratic ticket if they want a higher minimum wage, bigger social security bene- fits fair deal for labor and a gov ernment that "puts people ahead of property"
 This view was countered by Gov. Earl Warren, the COP vice presidential candidate. He pointed to his party's record in state vel fare legislation as an example of "Republicanism in practice"

''Flying Discs'' And ''Parachuters'' Just Spider Swarms

Continued from Page One) service authorities formed ground parties.
 An air force searcher came up with the answer. He found the filmy, wind-borne web of what he called "a parachute spider" And maybe all Americas reports of flying discs were just spiders, he said.
 These tiny spiders sail around simply because of the ghousin shortage, professors of entomology explained. Many kinds of spiders break up heir family groups in the autumn. Sometimes as many as 1000 go forth from each home to seek housing of their own.
 They depart by climbing a weed stalk and spinning a spiderweb scarf. When the scarf is big enough, the wind carries it away, with the little spiders hanging on.
 Sometimes, with weather condi- lions just right, the airborne spi- ders rise to attitudes of 2,500 feet, says Prof. SedWard A. Essig of the University of California.

Enroute to Clevelnad, tP)-Re- member back in midsummer when Bob Teller wasn't going too we'll and Bob Lemon and Gene Bearden had to keep the Indians in the pennant race? . Lemon had rather tough going after he won his 20th game of the season, but he never lost his reputation for being a good man in clutch. Looks as if the world series was going to follow the regular season pattern. Teller couldn't win the opener though you could hardly blame him for that loss. Lemon didn't look especially strong in the early innings-in fact Manager Lou Boudreau had reliefers warming up in the very first inning. But when things looked very bad, Lemon usually managed to make someone top the ball toward the mound and then he'd throw the guy out himself. He did it with two aboard to end the second inn ing; finished the third the same way, repeated with two on in the fourth and finally ended the game by tossing out Ray Sanders after Eddie Stanky had doubled. .. No doubt Bob is Boudreau's Lemon in the garden Of love today.

Billy Southworth in 1912. In
each of those years the Cardi-
nails reeled off Il victories
while losing only four games.
And where were the Cardi-
nails in the race on August 81
of those years? Well, in 1880,
the Cardinals were in fourth
place. The Cubs were leading
the parade. The Chicago team
had a 512 game lead over the
second place Giants and were
612 games in front of the
fourth place Cardinals. In
1912, the Brooklyn Dodgers
were leading the league when
all results were tailed the
night of August 81. The
Cardinals were 312 behind.
That year, you may recall, the
Cardinals were trailing by
ten games on August 5.
Those sensational Braves Of
1914 hold the fourth best
September percentage. This
was the team that was 10
gam es behind the leading
Giants on July Fourth. The
Braves tn a t year won 26
games and lost only five in
September for a mark of 1899.
When August 81 games were
played, the Braves that sea-
son had reduced the lead to a
half game, trailing the Giants
by that small margin when
the final month of the season
started.
The next best percentage
for S e p t e m b er was 1903,
figure compiled by the Chi
cago Cubs of 1906 and the
Cubs of 1888. In each of those
seasons, the Cubs won 81.
games and lost five. The 1906
Cubs, of course, had a picnic

September leading the then

games that year, a m a jor.
league record.
