The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-12-20

Republican party making overtures
to the Ku Klux South, will like
wise fail.
Truman and his political cohorts
have fastened in the minds Of this
generation the motion that the
future Of this nation is somehow
bound up with a broad security
program and such program ap-
peals to the masses Of the people
into whose keeping ultimately is
the future of the country. Tru-
man is easily the man of the hour
in the Twentieth Century world
and he is proving himself a cour-
ageous statesman as well as a
practical politician of deepest dye.
The first few months Of his presi-
dency Mr.. Truman looked like a
step-president; but as of now he
has taken over with a vigor that
stuns his traducers and g~ainsayers.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-12-20

Harry Truman is now president
of the United States and nobody
knows it better than the hard
headed callous Republicans led by
the outmoded Robert Taft. Tru-
man nor his selections can lose
while they sponsor the fair deal
policies for which there can be no
substitute.
AS long as the Democrats look
forward and the Republicans back
ward, there is little ground to
doubt the overwhelming defeat Of
Eisenhower or anybody else who
dares kick against the political So
cial and economic pricks. And Gen.
Eisenhower is driving his ducks

BY Dean Gordon B. Hancock
Our Political Plot Thickens
Truman like his noble predeces-
o Roosevelt is one Of the astu-
test politicians of the times.
Schooled under Pendergast and
Roosevelt, Truman is easily one of
the political master minds Of the
national and international scene.
It need not therefore surprise US
if he rightly diagnoses Gen. Eisen-
hower's veiled dissemination to
enter the presidential race in the
near future. This writer made bold
to assert several months ago that
Gen. Ike was q candidate for the
presidency. OF course he thought
the time was not propitious dur
ing the last election; but he feels
that it will be sufficiently pro-
pitious in 1851 and he is accord
ingly getting his political ducks in
a row by making a series Of state
ments which can easily be con-
strued as the ground work Of his
yelled candidacy.
Personally this writer. is afraid
Of Gen. Ike and it is just as well
that the Negroes begin now to APP
praise his presidential possibilities
and potentialties. Gen. Eisenhow-
er has already made the wrong
gesture in a. statement made some
months ago. When he observed
that goodwill could not be legis-
leted" he was throwing a sop to
the southerners as a token of ap-
peasement on the color question.
Unless signs miscarry Gen. Eisen-
hswer is out to exploit the demo-,
cratic disaffection at the South,
. sdisaffectien closely related to
Truman's civil. rights fight with
the defeated South, who must re-
sort to filibusters to stem the tide
Of righteousness that is rising
throughout the nation.
1T would be exceedingly unfort-
innate for Gen. Eisenhower to at
tempt to exploit this ugly situation
for presidential support. But that
is exactly what the general isplan-
ming to do and his yelled state
ments and crafty evasiOns serve
hut to confirm the conviction
that he is heading in this general
direction. In fact it is this writ
er's fervant hope that would-be
president Eisenhower will pursue
Just such course for it will insure
smother term for Truman and his
'fair deal" which is knocking up-
On the door of this nations most
serious attention. Every norther-
ner's attempt to exploit the South's
traditional gprejudices for political
purposes has Failed ingloriously.

Cumberland Placed
On Job Distress List
BY the Associofed Pres,

CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. a.
Cumberland has been put on the
distress list of cities particularly
hard hit by unemployment.
Senator Tydings, Democrat. of
Maryland advised the Mayor and
Council on the development today.
It means that the Federal Gov
ernment will make special un-
employment survey here. If some
kind of a special program is
worked out for cities in the dis
tress" category, Cumberland prob
ably will share in it.
There was brighter report,
meantime, on the job situation
here. Loss of employment seems
to have leveled off last month.
Patrick j. Carroll, manager of
the States employment security
office in Cumberland, said the
number of new applicants for un-
employment benefits in July hash t
been tabulated yet. but they were
fewer than the 1,100 who applied
In June.
He estimated there are now g.
500 without jobs in Allegany
County.
The Cumberland area has been
harder hit than any other section
of the State by the curtailment of
industrial activity over the last
several months.
Chief reason is the wholesale
layoff of workers at the plant of
Celanese Corp. of America, West
ern Maryland's largest factory.
