NEW YORK R--How will history
rate Harry S. Truman. who has
staked out a For Rent sign on
the White House?
When the partisan din of our
times dies away, the chances are
he will be allotted a greater niche
than many Of his critics now sus-
pect.
This little man OF big surprises
may rank as the most warmly
human president since Abraham
Lincoln. Fer slirely enc 0f the
greatest sources of bis appeal has
been the fact he looked and talked
so much like the average citizen.
His great office was thrust upon
him Unexpectedly, and any Ameri-
can could look at his picture and
say, why, the same lightning
might have struck me-" That was
a big advantage to him any
voter could imagine himself being
put in Harry's spot.
Even in his act of voluntarily
removing himself from the 1852
presidential race - the latest of
many unpredictable acts some
people are sure to say, We'll,

to his WIFE And they viii feel
they understand him even better.
If he now goes on and steps out
of the ne.itical scene altogether
lis final stature in the story of our
nation will begin to emerge more
clearly. The small legends of lead

and fame molding him into the

Truman Wants To Move Back Into White House

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman is getting pretty tired of delays in the rebuilding of the White House.
 He wants to move madam and the baby Chats Mrs. Truman and Margaret back into the mansion the first week in April.
 The Presidents impatience was reflected Wednesday when he took White House newsmen on a 45- minute tour of the residential sec ton, from which the Trumans moved shortly after his 1948 cleo ton victory.
 He cited two examples of why the family had to take refuge in the Blair House, across the street on Pennsylvania Avenue.
 He stamped his foot sharply on the floor of the sitting room of daughter MargaretS suite.
 This will hold, he said. He re- called that one of the legs of Mar garet's piano had broken through the floor in 1948, narrowly miss ing a drop into the family dining room below.
 On another occasion, the Presi- dent recalled with a grin, he was bathing when the tub in his own bathroom began to sink beneath him.
 If it had dropped, he said, il would have fallen (With him ir iO into the room below where

Alaskans with $6O0 Or More Income Must File Return

Very few residents of Wash ington and Alaska during 1851 are exempt from filing an income tax return by March 15 in this dis trict, according to Internal Rev. enue Collector Clark Squire in Tacoma.
 Every person having gross in come of $500 or more must make return even though he may not be taxed. A husband and wife must file a return if the combined gross income is $1,2OO or more, or if the separate gross income of one spouse is $500 or more.

ANCHORAGE, (P) - Alaska's top sled dog racers are expected to enter championship races to be held here starting Feb. 21, the Alaska Sled Dog Racing Associ- ation announced Thursday.
 The program calls for 25 miles of racing each day of the four day tournament. The driver with the lowest accumulated time wins the title and $1,OOO, racing off cials said.

pare his return and mail 1t with remittance to the collector. This will enable him to save time and avoid inconvenience of standing in line at the Internal Revenue office.
 The Collector warns taxpayers that failure to receive a blank form does not relieve him from filing return or paying his tax on time. Forms may be obtained from local banks and post offices and from the office of the Collec- tor in Tacoma and zone offices. The nearest zone office is in Fair banks, Alaska.
 Deputy Collector James c. Manning is scheduled to be at Nome between Feb. 25 and Mar. Is to advise taxpayers. At that time he may be contacted at the post office. This schedule is con- ditioned on flying weather.

Mrs. Truman often entertained guests.
 He said he kidded the madam about what she would have done if she had been entertaining the Daughters of the American Revo- lution and he had suddenly ap- peared through the ceiling in a bathtub. Mrs. Truman didn't think it too funny, he said, and told him he wouldn't have enjoyed the ex- perience any more than she would.
 It would have been state en- trance, he commented.
 It was an exciting, if some lwhat strenuous tour for the re- lporters, who had difficulty keep ling up with the Presidents old Army pace of 120 steps minute.

New Faces to be Seen at Aiaska's 1853 Legislature
CBy the Associated Pressl


 One thing is sure about the ter ritorial House of Representatives that will gather at Juneau next January: It will include flock of new faces.
 A check. of filings in the four Alaska divisions shows only 12 of the "A who served in the 1851 session are candidates for reelec- ton. Seven of them are Demo- crats; five, Republicans.
 Three Democrats who served in the 1949 House are trying come backs. They are Warren Taylor and Mrs. Essie Dale of Fairbanks and Alfred Owen of Anchorage, who was elected as a Kodiak resident in 1948. Taylor, an at torney, lost out in his attempt to step up to the Senate in 1850 and Mrs. Dale was defeated for re- election.
 Reshuffling of Representation
 There is also going to be wholesale reshuffling of division representation, due to the 1850 census. The Third Division (An- chorage Seward Cordova Ko- diak will have 10 seats instead of seven. It looks like a strategic gain for the Democrats, who filled all seven of the seats in the last election.
 Two of the seats given to the Third were taken away from the First southeastern Division, where the Republicans held a five to three edge over the Democrats in the 1851 legislature The first will have only six seats, in the next legislature. Five incumbentS are running for them.
 Second Division Loses Seat The other seat given to the Third was taken from the Second Nome) Division, leaving only three for it..
 The Democrats seeking reelec- ton to the House are: Andrew Hope and Vernon Metcalfe, First Division; James K. Wells, Second; Wendell Kay, C. A, Pollard and Chester Re0 Carlson, Third; Glen Franklin, Fourth.
 Republicans seeking n h r term are: Mayor Waino Hendrick- son of Juneau, Ed Locken and Frank Johnson, First; George Mis- covich, and Alden Wilbur, Fourth. Some Members Drop Out
 House members who are drop ping out of the legislative picture without running for either House are Stan McCutcheon, Jack Scav- enius, J.S. MacKinnon, George Gasser and George Madsen.
 The party nominations will be made at the April 29 primary elections.
