Truman has little to recommend him for such
an important position of trust, other than
1. Four years of giving substance to the
wild and slanderous mouthings of the House
un-American Activities Committee;
2. Of playing the role of principal white
wash agent in covering up the Pendergast-
Kansas City primary election scandal of 1916.
This scandal resulted from incumbent Cong.
Roger Slaughter being counted out" and the
Democratic nomination being handed to
President Truman's personal choice, Enos
Axtell.
3. Of side-tracking the prosecution of the
xxx and other fascist outfits, while actively
labelling scores of organizations "subver-
sive", including, of all groups, the IWW-as
natively an American organization as the
Daughters Of the Revolution.
In addition Tom Clark, as attorney gen
eral, engineered the dropping of sediton
charges against all pro-Nazis, while publicly
proclaiming that such would not be done
Significantly one of those who turned up to
endorse Clark, before the senate judiciary
committee was none other than James J.
Mclaughlin, defense counsel for the more
than score of Hitler termites.
Clark likewise has been the principal
obstacle'in bringing the American officials of

To the President of the United States
Washington, d. c.
Dear Mr.. President:
This letter is for the purpose of
accomplishing the Importance and
significance of a resolution unani-
mously adopted by the 16-state Dem
ocratic midwest conference held in
Des Moines, Iowa, June IL, II, and
10, 1949.
The resolution reciting among
other things, favors, "the integrated
of our great river val
legs patterned on the Tennessee Val
ley Authority"
The full import of this resolution
is not to be underestimate for it

leaders throughout all of the mid
west states, furthermore, Mr.. Presi-
dent, it pledges support to the plat
form of the Democratic party, the
platform on which we campaigned in
the 1913 election, and upon which
the people of the nation demon
strated the desire of the majority.

tors of the development of all great

"but 1.8 million marriages and 81
million births occurred during the
year, and created new housing needs
which more than offset the effect of
the new housing supply"
In addition, over two million fam
lilies are still living doubled up, the
Outlook said.
The Outlook quoted studies of
Pittsburgh and Allegheny county,
which showed a shortage of about
81, 900 housing units in that area,
with about 1000 families willing to
buy homes at $4,000 or less to rent
apartment between sos and $50 per
month. Similar figures were re-
ported from other metropolitan
areas.

Despite the pressing housing need,
a showdown in the sale of new homes
is reported from many cities because
of the inability of middle income
families to afford housing units be-
ing placed on the market, the CLIO
Economic Outlook said last week.
Changes have to be introduced
in the means and methods of supply
ing new dwellings if the housing
problem is to be solved in a reason
able time" the Outlook said. "In
order to approach a a sufficient sup
ply of minimum-standard, decent
housing for the lower and middle
income families of this country, it is
necessary that they have financial
aid, such as is contained in the Hous-
ing Act of 1949 and in the proposed
Mitchell Middle Income Housing bill.
Furthermore t h e government
should take the lead in its own hous-
ing programs through co-ordinated
organization for the construction of
large projects.
Housing Industry Outmoded
"a nation which has led the world
in smashing all types of industrial
bottlenecks will not go along with a
primitive and out-moded housing in
dustry. The housing needs of Amer
lea call for a new chapter in the
history of the industrial revolution"
The monthly publication Of the
CIO Department of Research and
hailed passage of the re-
cent housing act, and charged that
private enterprise has had its
chance, has spent its best efforts,
and has failed to meet the full hous-
ing requirements of the country"
The Outlook noted that the enid

housing construction and help mid
