Truman Back, Works
On Tonight's Speech
In lehman's S Behalf
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman was back at
his desk today, after a 48-hour
speaking jump to Minnesota
which observers generally believed
marked the actual Kickoff of the
1850 Congressional campaign.
While the Presidential trip
the third into farm States since
Labor Day-ostensibly was a nom
political gesture for the purpose
of joining the people of Mime
apolis and st. Paul in observing
the Gopher State centennial. there
were heavy political overtones to
which Mr.. Truman himself con-
tributed with quips about the
'nonpartisan" occasion.
And the speech at st. Paul,
which. wound up a long day
Thursday, was strictly according
to the pattern of the "give-'em-
hell" vote drive of a year ago.
Speaks for Lehman Tonight.
At s:55 o'clock tonight, Presi-
dent Truman will get into the New
York Senatorial campaign, when
he makes talk in a radio round
up in behalf of former Gov. Her.
bert H. Lehman, who is trying to
upset Senator Dulles, Republican.
The election will be Tuesday.
At several points along his
2.500-mile westward route, the
President greeted local political
leaders; but the only whistles stop
talks we're made at Savannah, Ill.,,
and North Lacrosse, Wis, on
Thursday, when there were Or
ganized demonstrations, replete
with bands. to greet the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Truman passed up an op-
portunity to make other talks
yesterday. when good-sized
crowds turned out to meet his
train at Garrett. Ind, and Will
lard. Ohio.
At the Ohio stop, a youngster
who had obviously gotten some
coaching, shouted:
What do you think of Senator
Taft?"
Likes Him, Truman Replies.
II like him very much" re-
sponded the President, who en-
joys pleasant personal relations
with the Ohio Senator, despite
their political differences.
In the long daylight ride across
Ohio and Pennsylvania. the Presi-
dent got closeup of conditions
brought about by the long steel
and coal strike, as plants or
dinarily busy lay idle.
The Presidential special pulled
into Union Station at 1915 o'clock
last night, and Mr.. Truman was
driven at once to the Blair House.
Today he plans some work on
the speech in behalf of Gov.
Lehman's candidacy.

Get Aid in Court
From MeIchior
BY the Asssr.otsd Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-You can
say all you want, but when the
chips are down these musicians
stick together.
The eight Korn Kobblers found
themselves on the spot yesterday,
and 1t was grand opera itself that
came rushing to the. rescue.
The Kobblers make their music
If you can call it music-on a
pipe. q washboard and something
that looks like a spittoon.
Even so, they talked a New
York cafe into signing a $3.500-a-
week contract two Sundays ago
and were celebrating in ecstasies
on the pipe. the washboard and
the spittoon.
To Patrolman William Gilroy,
a traditionalist, it sounded awful
and he gave them a summons for
breaking the Sabbath peace.
In court yesterday before Mag
istrate John R. Sharkey, the Korn
Kobblers brought up their heavy
artillery-bulky Wagnerian tenor,
Lauritz Melchior.
Called to the stand, the Metro
politan Opera star went down the
line for the boys:
very often," he told Magistrate
Sharkey, ut happens that the
music Of living composers is way
ahead Of the people living at the
time, and some might think it was
noise. When Wagner's operas were
first performed, the papers said
his music was unnecessary noise. I"
Magistrate Sharkey wavered,
and the Korn Kobblers offered to
play for him in court. That did
1t. He dismissed the case.
