EVERYBODY LOVES a fighter
For that reason, the popularity of
Harry S. Truman is running pretty
high at this time. All the pollsters,
all the misled, have had their say:
President Truman was the man who
wouldn't be lickedl Mr.. Truman
was apparently the only candidate
who really took the opinion polls
to heart. While the general public
was being lulled to sleep by every
bodys opinion rs to the outcome
of the election. Candidate Truman
got in there and fought.
Preferences for candidates in the
voting on November 2 were not the
same as reported by the poll takers
before election. What happened?
My g'iess is this: a larger percen-
tage of those who favored a fight
ing man went out to vote than was
he case with those favoring the
non-fighter. who thought he would
be elected anyhow. In other words,
the opinion polls we're interpreted
by each candidate-by Mr.. Truman
in way that helped elect Mr.. Tru-
man and by Mr.. Dewey in way
that defeated Mr.. Dewey.
Fight or Die
THE IMPORTANT thing is that
the fighting man won. This is an
old American principle. The man
who works the hardest, who never
says-die, is favored in the struggle
for success. Our nation has been
built by heroes, sung and unsung.

Among the Chukchee of Northern
Siberia there is a strange practice
labeled by anthropologists as group
marriage" or sexual hospitality"
In this plan the couples are married
in somewhat the same fashion we
are accustomed to here, but in addi-
ton the men may engage them
selves in further alliances or arran-
geinents with each other for mutual
hospitality benefits. Usually cousins
participate, as well as close friends;
seldom if ever do brothers join In
such pacts.
The arrangement works in some
such fashion as this. If a man
visits "pact-brother", he is given
the warmest of hospitality. He is
given the best in comfort, dined
as a guest, and upon retiring, is
offered the hosts wife for the eve
ming. If one were to study the living
pattern of these people, it would
be much more understandable why

Girl FulfilS
School Hope

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Feb. s. A
young Nisei girl, whose fondest hope
was to enroll at the University of
Pennsylvania, realized the fulfill
ment of that hope simply through
practicing democracy. This almost
fictional event was reported by the
Midwest Regional office of the
JACL last week.
Martha Ono, 10, had in 1948, ap-
piled for admittance to the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania but her appli-
cation apparently was ignored as
were number of other Nisei appli-
C tions. This former Fresno
California. girl was prepare d
to enroll at the University of Mich

notice that she had been designa-
ted as the recipient of an annual
scholarship granted by Birth Sho-
lom, distinguished fraternal organi-
zation of this city, each year to some
deserving American. The scholar
ships are awarded without regard

Earl G. Harrison former Commits
sioner of immigration who. until
recently was the dean of the Univ
ersity of Pennsylvania law school
was given the privilege of designa-
ting the recipient and the institu-
ton to which the scholarship will
be made available. Harrison, after
interviewing a number of candi-
dates. selected Miss Ono whom he
felt lived up to the qualifications
required for the scholarship.
Miss Ono had been active as a
member Of an inter-racial teen-age
group at Philadelphia's well-known
Fellowship House She is now q
freshman student in sociology at
the University of Pennsylvania.
