Samuel H. Kaufman, presi-

having trouble in an organization,
don't stop anywhere till you get to
the top man."
Obligation to Help.
The business management of
Washington Arms has an obliga-

said. adding: Il think you're en-

Other lawmakers pointed out
that this rule should apply also
to Federal airways, especially
those bearing heavy commercial
traffic. This was demonstrated,
they said. by the collision last
July over Fort Dix.
The collision here Tuesday

cranes. The sections were re-
moved to an Eastern Airlfnes

took up an old campaign trail to-
day for the Twin Cities, Mime
apolis and st. Paul to join
Minnesotans In their centennial
celebration-with the added op-
portunity of putting in a good
word for the Fair Deal.
The President faced busy 10

into Minneapolis at 2 pm. EST

o'clock tonight, when he speaks
in the auditorium at st. Paul, to

Is under the auspices of a bipar-
tisan committee, the Presidents
appearance is not without its po-
litical aspect. He is accompanied
by William M. Boyle. jr., Demo-
cratic national chairman, and
White House Press Secretary
Charles G.. Ross commented re-
Gently that it did not necessarily
follow that the speech would be
devoid Of politics because of the
sponsorship. This is Mr.. Truman's
third speaking expedition west
ward since Labor Day.
Leaving Washington at 2::30
p. m. yesterday, over the B. & o.,
Mr. Truman gave a tongue-in-
cheek assurance" to reporters
that tonight's speech would be
'non-political and bipartisan" in
comparison to that of his last trip
to st. Paul in the heat of the
1948 Campaign for reelection.
Asked how he differentiated be-
tween political and "non-polit-
ical" talks. the President. grinning.
said the latter variety threw no
bricks at other political parties.
The President carried Minnesota
against Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, in
an election that cut across party
lines, replacing Senator Ball, Re-
publican, with Hubert Humphrey,
youthful Democratic Mayor of
Minneapolis, and reducing the
Republican majority in the House,
but nevertheless, continuing Re
publican Gov. Luther w. Young
dahl in office.

Incidentally. it was just a year
ago today that Mr.. Truman re-
ceived a midmorning message
from Gov. Dewey conceding the
upset in the previous days ballot
ing.
When the President reaches
Minneapolis this afternoon. he
will drive in a parade to st. Paul,
stopping en- route for a visit to the
Shriners' Hospital for Crippled
Children.
There will be late afternoon
reception and then a dinner at
st. Paul's Hotel Lowry before the
auditorium speech, and If the
President follows his usual course,
he will have something to say at
both.
