President Truman said today
that he intends to tour some of
the Missouri-Kansas flood area
on foot when he goes home to In
dependence next week after OPEN
ing the japanese Peace Treaty
Conference in San Francisco
Tuesday night.
The President said he wanted
to get closeup view of the scenes
of destruction. Earlier he joined
in a laugh that followed his as
sertion that his trip would be
made afoot. Reporters had asked
| if he was going by air or auto
mobile.
Knowing the Presidents pen
chant for long walks-at fast
clip-a reporter asked how far he
Thought the inspection would ex-
tend and was told about 4 miles.
Mr.. Truman promised to moderate
his pace.
Inspected Area Earlier.
The President inspected the
flood area in July from the air.
Later he asked Congress for an
overall relief program to cost 81
million.
Mr.. Truman also said he
planned to make a few off-the-
cuff remarks at the dedication
next Thursday of an armory for
military reserve forces in Kansas
City.
Asked if he had noticed that
some Mid Western newspaper
polls had shown his popularity on
the rise. the President said those
things go up and down and lots of
people are disappointed.
The President was non-com-
initial about a magazine article
by Jonathan Daniels, former
White House staff member, who
says in the current American
Magazine that Mr.. Truman is Ger
tain to run next year and will get
far more than the 303 electoral
votes he piled up in 1948.
The President, who has con-
sistently lodged queries about his
political intentions, said he had
not read the Daniels article.
WithhOldS Opinion.
He said, however, that any
American citizen is entitled to an
opinion and that he was not ex-
pressing his.
Asked if Mr.. Daniels was ex-
pressing an Informed opinion, +"
the President said that the writer
had not consulted him.
Mr., Daniels is publisher of the
Raleigh News and Observer. He
is also Democratic national COM
mitteeman from North Carolina,
and as a member of the White
House staff aided in the 1948
campaign.
In his magazine article, Mr..
daniels explains he bases his
views about the President run
ming on a recent conversation
with Mr.. Truman, in which he
"sensed his attitude towards his
candidacy"
An ardent exponent of the
civil rights program, which cost
Mr.. Truman the votes of four
Southern States three years ago,
Mr.. Daniels, nevertheless, pre-
diets the Dixiecrat revolt will not
be repeated, and that the solid
South" once more will be Demo-
cratic.

affairs
Senator Taft, the author de-
clares, is vulnerable-from the
Democratic viewpoint - because
they think the Ohioan "personi-
f1es all those characteristics which
conjure up the images of big
business, old and new style isola-
tionism and upper-cruSt conserva-
tism which the masses of the
people have learned 10 distrust." :"
Describing California'S Gov.
Warren as "the most dangerous
man" the President could meet,
Mr.. Daniels sums it up this way:
If Warren has no national
record to commend him in ma
tional affairs, neither does he
wear any of the scars of national
contention. He is a Republican
who does not seem the stereotype
of the Republicanism which has
now been five times rejected.
Indeed, no Republican IN the
United States has shown such
facility in picking up Democratic
votes"
But Mr.. Daniels does not think
that the G. 0. P. vice presidential
candidates of 1948 could upset
the Democrats.
The author says the toughest
issues" on which Mr.. Truman will
campaign for reelection include
high taxes, high prices, criticism
of the State Department., the war
in Korea. Macarthur, bureaucracy
and Government spending.
Finally:
National political somersaults
are rare. The facts are that for
many years this was a Republican
country and for a long time now

try"

Mass Protest Planned
By Burke Property
Owners on Appraisa|s

A mass protest is planned
against "ridiculously low apprais-
ais" of properties being acquired
by the Federal Government for
the Burke (Va. airport.
Several residents complained
that the prices set on their prop
critics by the Lands Divisions of
the Department of Justice are far
below present market value.
Murray D. Heron, owner of a
two bedroom frame cottage and
81 acres of land at the junction
of Routes GAS and 643, said the
appraisal on his property, $4,000,
lis so low that he will burn the
place down" before accepting the
offer. About a year ago, Mr.. Her
rons said, he was offered $4,000
by a real estate firm.
The protests will be made. Mr..
Heron said, to the Justice De-
Ipartment and the Civil Aeronau-
tics authority Administration be-
cause II don't want to spend
$4,000 fighting this thing in
court"
Mr.. Heron, a combat engineer
veteran of Europe and the Pa
cific, said he was advised in 1947
by a Veterans Administration
physician to find a quiet country
place. He is a guard for the De-
partment of the Army.
Hardships Pointed Out.
"Ninty-nine per cent Of the
people out here were just getting
! on their feet" Mr.. Heron said,
and now this thing sets them back
again"
Arthur F. Beck, Office manager
for the National Society of Pro-
fessional Engineers, and Roy H
Carson, owner of a general store
on Route 643, also have protested
the appraisal.
Other property owners in the
area are also up in arms over
the Government appraisal figures
Mr.. Heron said.
Mr.. Beck said that his three
bedroom home on two acres oi
ground had been appraised by the

considers at least $4,000 too low
Mr.. Carson said that "the $25..

Truman to Make Foot Tour
Of Flood Areas in Midwest

Dwight E. Eisenhower could get
either nomination, and he looks
on Gov. Earl Warren of Califor-
mia as the toughest COP foe the
President could face.
Mr.. Truman's own choice of an
he contends. would be
Cd Senator Taft of Ohio and co
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, whose
fiuorescent fading away after his
dismissal as American military
chief in the Far East undoubtedly
did more than any other thing to
make it certain that Truman
would be a candidate again."
The writer-politico's crystal-gaz-
ing also leads to the conclusion
that age and health may be a bar
rier to another term for Vice
President Barkley, and while he
names a lot of prospective heirs,
he tops his list of dark-horses with
Senator Moody of Michigan, the
former reporter, who was appoint
ed to succeed the late Senator
Vandenberg.
Barkley Not Worried.
Vice President Barkley, inciden-
tally, already has served notice
that he is not worried about his
physical condition, in terms of
1852.
Mr.. Daniels, Truman biogra-
pher, asserts that the President
will have to run to advance his
Fair Deal program, and he gives
a thumbnail idea of what the
campaign will be like:
During the campaign" he says,
there will be the often-repeated
stories about his playing the piano.
The ghost of Pendergast will be
made to walk its millionth mile.
But in the end. the campaign will
have been won on the high level
of foreign affairs and American
security"
The writer says the Pendergast
issue is dead.
ON the basis of one fool (not
Identified and a mink coat" he
amplif1es." an effort has been
made to prove that the Democrats
have reached a proficiency in
corruption equaling that of the
Republicans in the Teapot Dome
case. There is always too much
grabbing and seeking around
Government. There must be a
constant vigilance to weed out
the 5 percenters and the bigger
percenters in the influence racket.

That is being done. The re-
Inarkahle thing, in Government
spending billions under the scru-
tiny of eager political investi-
gators, is that no major scandal
has been uncovered in Govern
ment il 20 years"
In disposing Of the potential

of a Democratic nomination for
