WASHINGTON
By Charles l.. EgenrOad

WASHINGTON, d. Glow can
the people of this country be ex-
pected to believe anything the
President says or authorizes to be
said?"
That indictment of the President
was made by one of the top politi-
cal writer's of the Nation here after
Mr.. Truman made his first major
address of his present tour.
The writer said:
1t seems to me that the Presi-
dent of the United States would be
prompted by the dignity and pres
tige of the high office he holds to
be aloof to such political indigni-
ties practiced in connection with
his trip to the West.
"The response to his appear
ances on the tour has been in keep
ing with the falseness of the tour.
He authorized the official state
ment that the trip would be non
political; then, he proceeded to
make it purely political.
How can the people of this
country be expected to believe any,
thing the President says or au-
thOrlzes to be said? Perhaps it is
because of this lack of confidence
IN his utterances that has resulted
IN the great stay-away movement
in the West"
What was said by the writer was
not said without confirming facts.
Before Mr.. Truman even reached
the Chicago scene of his first major
address on the "nOn-political"
tour the taxpayers train was
boarded in Gary, Indiana, by Frank
McHale, Democratic National Com
mltteeman from Indiana; Henry F.
Schrlcker, former Democrat Gov
ernOr of Indiana and Democrat
candidate for election to that Of
flee again, and Paul M. Butler. In

Chairman.
Right there the political tempo
was set for the taxpayers train,
and it has been maintained since.

erence to Mr.. Truman's trip and
admitted with great delight that he
was going to ride the train into his
home state and make appearances
there alongside the President.
Senator MagnusOn will not be
on presidential business when he
rides the taxpayers train.
All this is going on at consider
able expense to the taxpayers. The
cost of the train will not be great.
but when one takes into cOnsidera-
ton the great security measures
to the presidential trip
the cost mounts into more figures
than you can find in a chorus line.
