/ HENRY STRUCK OUT

The grand strategy of the Communists m per suading bumbling Henry Wallace to become thlro narty candidate for the Presidency of the United States has failed already.
 Obviously the motive behind the Wallace candl- dacy was to hamstrng the Truman administration in it's firm dealings with Russia It was supposed, Tn the Kremlin that the splitting of the Democratic Party by the Wallace candidacy would tend to elect
 Republican President of solationst tendencies Ano whatever his party the Communists wanted above all to put into our White House man who would not concern himself with the expansion of the SoWet dictatorship throughout the rest of the world
 That the Kremlin's stalking horse miserably 1all- cd his purpose Is evident from the ticket chosen at Philadelphia Gov Thomas E. Dewey is on record in favor of strong defense measures and nternatona collaboration. Gov. Earl Warren is llke-mlnoeo Neither of these nominees is anything like the type the Communists would prefer to see at the heao ol our government So from this point onward, the Communists have little to gain by trying to deleat Truman We rather imagine that theT enthusiasm for Wallace will wane somewhat in coming months. And Henry we dare say won't be able too understand why the people" will be less vQciferous ln then caor for him. The Commies manufacture great amount of noise Or they can become very silent

WHO BEAT HIM ONCE?

This of course, the proper time for Democratic leaders in all places and of all sorts to come through with the confident declaration apropos Of Governor Dewey's nomination: We beat him once; we can oo it again" And from coast to coast Democratic pig wigs saying just that.
 It may, indeed be the case. Dewey ana warren cannot take victory for granted But It IS ohiy laf to ask of the outwardly confident Democrats; "Who beat him once?" And the answer is that Franklin Poosevet heat him once in the middle of world

Truman Should Be More Worried
 than the c. o. P.
Seattle Times


 Their concern cannot be too narrowing but Re- publican leaders are reported to be worried over the possibility that the Democratic Party may ditch fres dent Truman and nominate some more lorhnuaoio candidate in his stead Whoever the more 1ormoaple candidate might be is not revealed. But ii thls now entirely hypothetical stuatSon should deveNp' IL would be the first instance since the administration of President Chester Alan Arthur of the |eJectoh bv his party of President who has succeeded to the presidential office.
 The Arthur episode was in some respects all aogous to circumstances in the current political scene tbonoh he was a Republican not Democrat. Arthur had been nominated for<VcePresident on the fSe- publican ticket with James A. Garfield Tn looo laisey to hold in line section Of the party that laVoiSu |" third term for Grant No one regarded nm as an impressive candidate, even for Vce-Presloen', ou. he was carried into office With Gar1ieio anu iioeii became President at Garfelds death.
 In 1884 Arthur was definite candidate Tor the presidential nomination His admlnlstratloh hao ho' been particularly distinguished but it had not peeh dishonorabe He was less fortunate in one respect than MT Truman His party did have another out standing and far more popular prospective contender in James G Blaine. No one Of comparapie stature is on the horizon in the Democratic Party tooay 0o challenge MT. Trumans position
 The Republicans in 1884 foresaw that they must have the electoral votes of the State of New YorK to win over Grover Cleveland that States Governor who seemed certain to be the Democratic nomnee' They believed Blaine stood better chance to defeat Cleve- land than Arthur. Arthur was rejected, biahe was nominated and even so Cleveland was elected
 Chester Alan Arthurs repudiation by his own party after had served out Garfieds term in the White House was repeated in the of Theodore Roosevelt Calvin Coolidge. Both were nominated and each elected to his own term as Pres- dent The rejection of Arthur arose from unusual circumstances The circumstances in which Mir Tru- man finds himself today are no less unusual-unusual enough to give him for worry, we should think than the Republicans

 Scene. 2-TitO's hideaway in Bos- mia: Churchill and FRD both ac- cepted Stalin's advice, not so much because they trusted Tito but be- cause they had intercepted radio messages between Mihailovitch and the Nazis Churchill even sent his son, Randolph, and Brig.

On that particular night, for the first time in months, both young Churchill and Brig Mclean were absent. Tito was suspicious and furious.
 Scene 3-British Headquarters, Bari, Italy: Some days later Tito flew to Bari, where the British had arranged a special Yugoslav headquarters. His plane was sur rounded. by Yugoslav troops.

 Moscow Ord'rs the impossible Tito found himself the fall-guy be- tween two sets of ideas that didn't have a chance in the world of telling The Kremlin told him to communise the peasants, and the peasants didn't want to be com- munised Yugo peasants are a lot different from Russian peas ants, where the land is flat and where farmers live in villages for protection. going out in the day time to work on the land in contrast Yugoslavia is rough and wild, with the peasants living in isolated areas. Community life, except on Sunday, is as foreign to them as the Czar's gold bathtubs. They have defended their twelve hectars from the Turks, the Bull gars. the Austrians and the Nazis. and they are not going to give their land up now to any new tangled idea of community farming Furthermore, any government agent who tries to tell them other wise gets a bullet in the neck for his pains So Tito, faced with trouble at home or trouble in the Krernlin, chose the trouble that was farthest away.
