Come, take up these burdens and

Marine Pfc Burt Hall became
the first serviceman to shave in
the new Lafayette Square USO

what time it opened.
Pvt. Hall, who is 26, passed the
new club in the reconstructed
|Belasco Theater yesterday morn

the club looked as if it was open,
so he went IN and asked a car
penter where he could shave. The

The young Marine from Camp

much he stayed around to guide

Bipartisan hackers Of foreign

There is no doubt that some

votes, Mr.. Truman Jagged be-
hind the Congressional candi-
dates of his party. In 18 states
with only 143 electoral votes. In
Guiding the ten whose 101 elec-
toral votes he did carry, Mr..
Truman outran the local candi-
dates.
So. in summary, Mr.. Truman
may possibly not have carried
enough states with sufficient
electoral votes TO make the re-
quisite 267 except for the fact
that he had behind him the
strong candidates on the local
tickets. Often the straight
ticket voters, who are anxious to
assure the election of their local
candidates for state offices or
for Congress, will mark the en-
tire ballot all one way just to
make sure. The 1948 ballotting,
however, does show how many
voters split their ticket In order
to vote for the State and Con-
gressional nominees of the
Democratic Party but against
Mr.. Truman.
The obvious conclusion is that
Mr.. Truman was not stronger
but much weaker than his party
in 1948 throughout the country.
If it be thought that this was
due to the disaffections in the
South it will be noted that the
President ran behind his ticket

Whether or not President Tru-
man wants to run for another
term, the Democratic party
leaders will want to consider
whether he would be the strong
est candidate they could name
this time. 1t is no secret that
the Republicans would like to
see Mr.. Truman a candidate
again because they think he
would be a weak contender.
The question as to what the
Presidents real strength was in
1948 from a party viewpoint
plays a part in such discussions.
This week "U. S. News & World
Report" published statistical
analysis which shows that Mr..
Truman ran far behind the
Democratic ticket in enough
states last time as to indicate
that the Democratic party was
much stronger than the prest-
Dental nominee.
Thus, in 18 states which ac-
counted for 200 of Mr.. Truman's
304 electoral votes, the Presi-
dent failed to lead the ticket.
Congressional candidates ran
way ahead of him in three states.
In Illinois, for example, Sena-
tor Douglas, Democrat, carried
the State by 100000, while Mr..
Truman carried it by only 34.-
900. Democratic candidates for
the House of Representatives
had a majority of $4,000 in
Illinois. Adlai Stevenson carried
the State for Governor on the
Democratic ticket by $4,000.
The same thing happened in
Ohio, where Mr.. Truman
squeezed through with only
7,107. while the Democratic
Governor won by 221, 900 and
the Democratic Congressional
candidates had an average of
$4,000 more votes than the
Republican candidates.

can count on his party to pull

The public opinion polls show

presumably he could be elected.
This, however. Is offset by the
fact that many people, In their
desire to vote against the top
of the ticket. will vote the
straight ticket Of the opposing
party and this is something that
worries the candidates who will
be running on the congressional
or State tickets.
The decision as to whether to
try to run Mr.. Truman again
will be made by hand-picked
delegates to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention and any pres
ident can be renominated II he
wants to bring it about. The
recent comment. however, by
Jacob Arvey. the Illinois Demo-
cratic leader. which was luke
warm about a Truman renomi-
nation indicates that the local
leadership is far more concerned
about Mr.. Truman running
again than is apparent on the
surface. Hence, the frequent
statements by Mr.. Truman's
appointees that they want him
to run again are not to be taken
as necessarily rejecting Demo-
cratic Party sentiment.
