BY WALTER BREEDE. JR.,
Associated Press Writer

President Truman has indicat-
ed that he will welcome a change
in the system by which he was
elected.
Like all presidents before him
since the founding of the repub-
lie, Mr.. Truman was voted into
office not by the rank and file
'citizenry but by an esoteric and
exclusive group known as the
electoral college.
The electoral college has 531
members or electors for
each senator and representative
from each of the 48 states. 1t is
the electoral college that official
ly elects the president of the
United States. The system is a
relic of the early days. before the

-Four submarines attached to
SubRon Four at the Key West
Naval Station, are leaving to-
morrow and Saturday to parti-
pate in the Naval maneuvers in
the Caribbean during this
month and next.
They are the USS Trumpeter,
the USS hmberjack, the USS
Cubera and the USS Cutlass,
which are bound for Guantana-
mo Bay Cuba and for Bermuda.
They are scheduled to parti-
cipate in the same exercises as
the USS Missouri, which went
aground outside Norfolk, Va,
when she first started for the
Caribbean. The Missouri has
refloated and has been taken in
to drydock. 1t is not known
whether she was so badly dam
aged as to throw her out of ac-
ton.
Among the numerous Naval
vessels which aided in the float
ing of the Missouri was the USS
Chanticleer, the submarine res
cue vessel, which is powerful
tug. 1t is presumed the Chanti-
cleer will return here shortly.

fines and forfeitures collected in

behind 1913 by about $1,000, ac-
cording to a statement today by
City Clerk Victor Lowe.
In 1919 fines and foreitures
amounted 20 S3i,8i3, compared
with s38.823 collected in l948,
and thus fell back of the esti-

nue., which was $4,000. by just
5000.
There was perfect cooperation
between the Police Department
and Shore Patrol, activities of the

for the dropping of Municipal
Court revenues last year.
Not 50 many u. S. sailors found
