Mr.. Truman showed no signs
of fatigue after two grueling days
on the road as he began a busy
day in his swing through the
Northwest.
The days program. winding up
about midnight in Southern
Washington, will be topped of
after a major speech at Pendle-
ton, Greg. by a 36-mile trip by
automobile for a speech at PaSco,
near the Hanford atomic plant.
The President had hoped to get
into that territory two years ago
ago but could not make it. So it
was arranged this time in keep
ing with his plan to cover as
much new ground as possible.
He will reach the Western ter
minus of his trip tomorrow when
he takes part in the dedication
exercises at the Grand Coulee

curity of this country were made
appropriately in an area partic-
ularly conscious of atomic devel-
opments.
Heated Senatorial Fights.
The Atomic Energy Commission
is constructing reactor testing
station on the Snake River plain
at Arco, Idaho, and in his pre-
breakfast talk at Pocatello Md.
Truman emphasized it's impor-
tance in atomic developments for
peacetime uses.
He said it should make it pos

ships and airplanes."
The Idaho visit brought Mr..
Truman into a State where two
heated senatorial fights are in the
making.
Senator Taylor. a Democrat, is
seeking reelection and finding
oppoitsion in his own party be-
cause of his detection two years
ago when he jumped to the Wal
laceites and ran for Vice President.
The other seat is held by Senator
Dworshak, a Republican appointed
by Republican Gov. c. A. Robins
to serve until a successor could
be elected for the last four years
of the term of the late Senator
Miller, a Democrat.

isolated settlements where the
13-car special moves through with
no more than blast from the
whistle at road crossings.
The turnabout at Cheyenne at
o'clock yesterday afternoon,
however, was nothing to brag
about. The President spoke from
a decorated platform at the en-
trance to the Union Pacific sta
tion, and crowd estimated ranged
from 1000 to $500. About half
way between the two could be
right. He did much better in 1948.
Kissed by Air Brakes.
White House sources said that
an earlier threat of rain and
snow had held down the attend

There was nothing to complain
about at Casper, the thriving oil
center, where the President opened
his day with a talk on conserva-
tion of natural resources, nor at
Laramie, where he spoke at the
dinner hour at the University of
Wyoming in his third formal ap-
