It's all yours,
Harry-what's
on The agenda
Continued from page 2


Progressives may we'll become
the balance of power as a result
of their vote.
If this does happen Git is not
certain yeti, it will represent
something of victory for the
Pr0gressives.
Reasons for the low Progress
sive vote were many. 1t will
take probably weeks of study
to come to a final analysis. But
some conclusions Immediately
became obvious.
The Progressives had man
aged to create organizations in
all the states. They got on the
ballot in As of the 48. But it
was probably (this is, of course,
hindsighD quixotic of them to
hope for much of a showing.
They still didn't have enough
organization-and there were,
undoubtedly, many weaknesses
In their organization.
The most important factor in
the low Progressive vote, by and
large, was the heavy turnout
for the Democrats, however.
The argument by Democrats
that the PrOgressives were split
ting the liberal vote also made a
deep impression, coming as it
did at time when Truman and
his party were making the most
radical speeches of their ca
reerS.
The Red menace, turned on
and off so deftly by Truman, I'M
doubtedly cost the Progressives
some votes.
So did the stand of the domi-
nant right-wing labor leaders
who threw in their lot with
Truman, despite his strike
O. breaking actions.
All of these factors, plus many
others, contributed to the Pro-
gressive vote, which was not as
low at the end, however, as
earlier reports had indicated it
-ould be.
Wallace made it clear, in a
series of radio statements cleo
ton night, that the answer to
the question of where do his
followers go from here is: For
ward"
Rejecting the idea protected
by Dewey of unity behind
President Truman in what Wal
lace considers campaign for
war, Wallace said that he would
support unity" movement
only if it is in the best interests
of the American people,.
Those best interests, he
held, are stable peace with an
end to the cold war, repeal of
the Taft-Hartley law and other
reactionary and repressive legis-
lation, price and rent controls,

Lieutenant Trant looked apollo
getic. "I'm sorry. Mrs. Hyde. |
shouldn't have doubted your
word" He eyed her almost with
affection. Il might as well explain
my presence. There's no magic in
volved. I'm on the Big Pal sucker
list. This morning l got what
should have been the appeal. 1t
wasn't. l got Georges letter in
stead. l came to see what would
happen here at five O'Clock"
The drinks were still on the
tray. Eddie poured himself shot
of straight rye. Neither of the girls
spoke.
=" THOUGHT" continued Trant,
that | had received the letter by
mistake. That. of course, was
what l was supposed to think. Un-
happily. l don't think it any
more"
Marna said: What do you
Think"
Trant did not reply. when
you're sending out appeals to
people on an alphabetical list.
the only way to do it without driv-
ing yourself crazy is to send them
in alphabetical order"
That's what did"
Exactly. Yesterday you got up
to the rs. l took a look at your
desk. Today you began with the
is and KS. My names Trant.
Certainly you hadn't got to the
rs yesterday. You couldn't mad
vertently have put Georges letter
in an envelope for me by yester-
day."
Eddie asked: Which means?
That the letter was sent to me
y-mistake-on-purpose. Someone
saw my name on the sucker list
and knew my reputation as a sort
of crackpot policeman. They knew
if l received the letter I'd be in
uigued enough to show up here
at five."
The two girls together asked:
But why?"
''BECAUsE they wanted me to
come. The letter would have given
me preconceived idea of motive.
would have found Georges body
and realized right away that he
had attacked his wife and she had
shot him in self-defense. would
have written George off as vic
tim of justifable homicide. | might
even have made a little speech to
Mrs. Hyde about Valiant Ameri-
can Womanhood. Yes, it was a
neat trap, a very neat trap"
Eddie asked belligerently: Are
you suggesting that Marna 80"
I'm not suggesting that Mrs.
Hyde did anything at ALL" Trant
looked at Eddie. DO you have a
key to this apartment?"

Just the income" )"
Lieutenant Trant was still
watching Mama. Lucky accident
my arrival conceded with your
sister r-in-law's, wasn't it? If I'd
come minute earlier, you would
mt have let me in. If I'd arrived
a minute later, you'd have told
Joan about George and you would
not have let anyone in either
Trant continued musingly: Il
always rather suspect lucky acci-
dents. They're not always as acci-
dental as they SEEM"
He shifted his quiet attention
to Joan Hyde. you live here,
Miss Hyde. Perhaps you saw
Mama writing that letter to
George yesterday. Perhaps you
even offered to mail it."
Joan Hyde looked back at him
blankly.
IL SUPPOSE" he went on in his
soft, almost gentle voice, you
called George in Marna's name
and asked him to come little
before five. After you'd killed him,
you went downstairs, saw Mama
come home and waited for me.
That was an ingenious device,
assuming was a beau of Marna's.
