that he had behind him, the sup
port of an administration which
has been in power for 16 years.
an administration that has spent
the treasury of the United States
government as it has never been
expended before; in spite of the
fact that he had a margin of
officeholders and government
employees alone which repre-
sented substantial vote as well
as the labor and farm blocs which
profited most from the outpour-
ing of New Deal money, which
was the substance of all the
people, not just the Democrats.
An administration entrenched
for l6 years and carrying the
support of the city machines
would naturally be hard to beat.
The longer any administration
stays in power, the more power
full it gets, and the harder it is
to beat. Give such an administra-
ton too much power, and you
have a regime almost impossible
to defeat.
Given any kind of record of
performance the Democrats will
be even harder to beat in 1852.
We hope and pray that Presi-
dent Truman's handling of our
government, particularly its
foreign policy, from here on out
will prove as effective as his cleo
ton was surprising.
Mr.. Truman has shown himself
to be a warm, very human per-
son.
Let us trust that from now on
he will remember that he is
President of the United States,
and every word he utters is news,
and usually very important news,
to all of the people of the
| world.
So much depends upon what
kind Of president MIR. Truman
makes from now on that it would
not be amiss, but right and pro-
per that he have the prayers and
support of all the people of this
country.

BY ths Assoeio,sd Press

REDWOOD CITY, Calf, Jan. n.
"A prison term of l to 10 years was
in prospect today for Mrs. Jadwiga
Curtin, 81, estranged Polish war
bride, for Staying George Conner,
Palo Alto credit man whom she
picked up in a saloon.
Finding insufficient evidence to
support the prosecutions contention
that the woman had schemed to
rob Conner, the jury last night con-
victed her of manslaughter. She
will be sentenced Thursday. Be-
cause deadly weapon was used,
she will not be eligible for parole.
The shooting occurred last Octo-
ber Is on a country road near Stan
ford University while the two were
riding in Conners car. Mrs. Curtin,
who came to California after de-
serting her husband in :Havre.
Mont, claimed she merely had
threatened Conner with q pistol to
make him stop speeding" A po-
liceman who saw the Conner car
just before the shooting said it was
going only about 20 miles an hour.
Mrs. Curtin and Howard Durham,
a Reedley (Calif) plasterer, are
jointly charged in another case with
robbing a Stanford student after

The two greatest problems faced
