to alter the basic fact, attested by
practically everyone informed about
conditions-which is, that there ex-
lists today very much stronger feel
ing against Mr.. Truman in the South
than in 1913. In that year, it will be
recalled, a number of Southern dele
gates bolted the Democratic Conven-
ton. The DiXiecrat movement fol-
lowed with the resulting loss to Mr.
Truman of four Southern states
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, S.
Carolina-and one electoral vote from
Tennessee, total of 80.
No one doubts that since then
Southern resentment and discomfort
have greatly grown. The reasons
there is no longer a "Solid South"
upon which the Democratic party can
count are well known. They date from
the Roosevelt campaign of 1886. Dur
ing that contest Mr.. Roosevelt not
only made complete his political al
lance with the leaders of the CLIO
and AFL, but made deal by which
he took over the big Negro vote in
the pivotal Northern States which for
generations had been basic Repub-
lican asset. The details of the latter
have been recounted here several
times. Inspired by ex-senator Guffy
of Pennsylvania, executed by Mr..
Farley, then Democratic chairman,
and supported with Federal patron
age furnished by Mr.. Roosevelt, this
was regarded by its author and spon-
sors as the cleverest coup in Ameri-
can party history.
Both of these alliances, of course
but particularly that with the Ne
groes-were exceedingly obnoxious
to the South. However, while Mr..
Roosevelt lived the South, though
disgruntled and apprehensive, re-
Trained from open demonstration be-
cause of its conviction that Mr..
Roosevelt, while making the required
gestures, never really intended to
force upon the South the legislation
desired by the Negro leaders. In this
they were correct, but the situation
is different with Mr. Truman. The
pressure from the Negro politicians,

The South and Truman

Next month the governors of some
twelve Southern states, with total
of 118 electoral votes, will meet at
Hot Springs, Ark, for conferences.
The open purpose of this meeting is
not to devise ways by which Mr.. Tru-
man can be prevented from renomi-
mating himself in July or to get rid
of him should he be renominated.
Nevertheless, those ideas will be
close to the hearts and constantly in
the minds of those who attend. They
may come up in the conference itself.
Certainly they will be the chief
topics of conversation among the
governors and, without official action,
it is expected there will emerge from
this conference and these CONVEX
sations a plan to achieve the objec-
tive which they almost unanimously
desire. For the plain fact is the South
is in revolt against the Democratic
party as at present constituted and
managed. Whether the revolt can be-
come effective depends upon num-
Der of things. But there is a group of
able and astute Southern political
leaders, some of whom will be at Hot
Springs, who are determined to make
it so.
The anti-Truman Southern senti-
ment is minimized by such White
House Fair Deal mouthpieces as Mr..
Jonathan Daniel, of North Carolina;
by the more blatant members of the
Cabinet and by various left-wing
journalists who dwell upon the fu-
tility of the Truman opposition in the
South and the alleged gains which he
is making there. However, when they
get through they have done nothing

proposals has made him more de-

can. Despite the fact that Republic

to these proposals, there are many

croaked, and they came out on the
run to a parked car. BY that time
a police car was rounding the

Gather Beetle Traps

The twenty-five japanese beetle
traps which had been distributed this
summer in the Oakland area were
gathered in on Tuesday by the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension service.
They were put out early in August
to note the percentage of infestation
of the pest in this area. Japanese
beetles thrive on foliage, fruit, GER
tain types of grass and garden crops
and are particularly destructive in the
warmer parts of the state.
The report for the period showed a
total of 222 beetles trapped. Prior to
this year no more than 25 had been
trapped in any one season.

'"'''" your t h e r is
getting so cranky
in his old age, l wonder if I'm going
to be able to live out my life with
him." she told her married daugh-
ter, Alice.
"Why, Mother, how you talk"
Alice looked shocked.
"Well, he actually embarrasses
me in restaurants and public places
if we aren't the first to be waited
on. And today he wouldn't even
bank his money from that last real
estate deal just because there was
a line ahead of him."
Gust don't pay any attention to
him." Alice advised. "You proba-
bly, aggravate him more when you
argue with him. Maybe he isn't
well?"
There's nothing the matter with
him that a good hard jolt wouldn't
cure, and I'm going to think up a
way to jolt him out Of his cussed-
ness" Bess announced.
But she hadn't yet thought up
the Jolt when she and Henry were
driving out for groceries that eve
ming.
Got to have some gas in the car
before we can go to town." Henry
announced, a scoWl cluttering up his
once-so-placed face.
Henry, I'll need some money!"
she informed him as they drove
along.
"Well, here, take my wallet and
get out a ten-spot.
Silently she counted the bills. No
sense in Henry carrying that much
money on him. She helped herself
and replaced the wallet.
Henry pulled into the neigh
bOrhOOd gas-station. No one
came out. He hOnked the horn.
Then he hOnked again, not once
but twice, and then again-a
long blast. Bess couldn't contain
herself any longer, much as she
had determined not to argue
with him.
Nov Henry, don't be so impa-
tent" she said mSekly.
well, for the love of Nike When
a man wants service, he wants it
quick" He gave the horn another
fierce blast.
But Henry, you know that horn
sticks sometimes. You'll have it
sticking if you blow it like that"
'Then they can fix it," And he
footed it again. No one came out.
"By the Lord Harry, I'm going
in there and tell them what l think
of them" he shouted, getting out.
Il can see some one in there NOV
ing around"
PESS WATCHED. Yes, she could
- see a form moving in the dim
interior. Funny the lights hadn't
been turned on yet. She saw Henry
step inside and close the door be-
hind him. Then she saw something
that made her heart skip a beat.
His hand went up high above his
head. A stick-up!
There ought to be some way!
After all, she couldn't have any
thing happen to Henry. She leaned
over and pushed the horn-clear
down. 1t stuck as she had hoped it
would.
The station door flew open. The
masked bandit stuck his head out.

70 Attend First 1851 kiwanis Ladies' Night Held Here Monday

Approximately 70 members, their ladies and guests were in attendance at the first Ladies Night of the 1851 administration of the Palmer KiWanis Club held Monday evening at the St. Johns Lutheran Church. A sumptuous turkey dinner with all the trim mings, elicited congratulatory comments from the guests for the cuisine as prepared and served by members of the St. Johns Lu- theran Ladies Aid. A background of dinner music recordings, table decorations of yellow jonquils, and corsages of white carnations for each of the ladies present, also added to the delightful party.
 An invocation by Father James Snead opened the meeting, which also included a business session when three new members of the Palmer Kiwanis Club were ini- tiated, and special program: New members who were well comed by Dr. C. c. Bailey, in charge of the initiation, were Stanley Laird, Martin Sherman and Jack Tost. Emil Ganschow made the presentation of the Xii wanis buttons to the new mem bers.
 ."Kiwanis is a service organ ization with each. of the 5000 clubs throughout the nation de- voted to render a type of service that will make the community a better place in which to live,' Dr. Bailey said in welcoming the new members.
 "KiWanis is not a luncheon club, although we have lunch cons; Kiwanis is not church, although the Golden Rule is our guide and we do have the clergy as members; Kiwanis is not a political organization, although we believe that every member should be an informed citizen, " Dr. Bailey said.
 "Kiwanis, on the contrary, is al constant search for opportunities to serve where needed most and it is the duty of each member to attend meetings and to actively carry out the committee func- tions to which he is assigned as a part of the club for the good of the community" Dr. Bailey con- cluded his brief talk.
 William Zahradnicek, with perfect attendance record for the past year, was honored with a Xii wanis award button, which was also presented by MT. Ganschow.
 Committee reports included MT. Ganschow, in charge of the basketball tournament set for this weekend, requesting help at the games. Tom Day and James Hur- ley were appointed to assist with the Kiwa anis public address sys- tenn at the tournament; MT. Zah- radnicek is to be in charge of the

He said he welcomed criticism
by those who know what they
are talking about" But he dashed
out against criticism which springs
from narrow political motive. He
said these attacks are evil as far
as the country is concerned, be-
cause they tear down the con-
fidence Of the country in the
structure OF government.
He declared. however, that they
have mot hurt our self-respect
or our determination to do our
duty with everything we have in
uS."
He added that he is sure that
such attacks will pass because "the
American people are fair and will
not stand forever for this sort of
vicious. scurrilous attack"

torium. He personally presented
awards to most of those honored,
