Take off your coats and do
something to get the vote out elec-

Mr.. Truman asserted last night In
an off -the-cuff preface to a speech
lin Chicago in which he assailed
Gen. Eisenhower who, he said, Of

"all our gravest problems" with

mo super-man is going to solve
our difficulties for us. and any
body who poses and talks like one
is a fraud" the President told a
gathering of $500 at a dinner
rally arranged by the AFL Cook
County League for Political Edu-
cation. He charged that the gen.
'eral is playing "lowdown tricks"
to get votes.
Col. Arvey Optimistic.
Col. Jacob L. Arvey, Democratic

In Chicago, the President was
Joined by Interior Secretary

the Government to help the Ste
Ivenson campaign, and the Colo
iradoan was distinctly bullish on
the outlook nationally.
We've got it," Mr.. chapman
said confidently.
President Truman's Chicago
speech came at the end of a day
in which he srumped through
Iowa and Illinois, and Democratic
leaders were openly hopeful that
he would give the same punch to
the States campaign that he did
four years ago. Gov. Stevenson is
ending his own campaign in Chi
cago Saturday night.
Mr.. Truman spoke from the
Sherman Hotel, and while his i'm
mediate audience was limited, he
had national radio coverage on an
NBC network. and a TV hook-up
into nine Of the larger Midwest
ern cities.
En- route to the Sherman, the
President stopped at the memorial
to Negro. war dead in Chicago's
South Side where a wreath laying
ceremony had been arranged by
the Chicago Defender, Negro

President Receives Scroll.
Mr.. Truman received scroll for
his work on behalf of civil rights
and in his thank-you speech, he
dWelt at length on his program
for abolishing segregation in the
armed forces. He gave Gov.
Stevenson credit for actually hav-
ing started this movement when
he was an assistant to Secretary
of the Navy Frank Knox in World
War II.
The President recalled a state
ment on the segregation issue by
Gen. Eisenhower, whom he quoted
as saying that "a certain amount
of segregation is necessary be-
cause the Negro soldier can't stand
the competition of the white"
Developments, Mr.. Truman con-
cluded, showed that the G. o. P.
candidate didn't know any more
about that than he did about some
other things.
In his Sherman Hotel speech,
the President opened by likening
Gov. Stevenson to Abraham Lin
coin.
Says G.. o. p. Avoids Issues.
Then he went after Gen. Eisen-
hover and his party for, he said,
avoiding issues.
Take this issue of prosperity
for instance" the President
quipped. I'VE poor Democrats
have to think and talk about wage
rates, and take-home pay, and
price supports for farmers, and
income distribution, and business
investment-and how to keep all
these things working together for
a higher national output and a
bigger national net income.
But the Republican candidate
doesn't have to bother with such
petty details-especially If he is
a general.
"All he has to do is say: Our
pledge is this: we will enlist al
the resources of the Federal Gov.
ernment to insure that this great
Nation is never again paralyzec
by a great depression

pression problem. You hearc
what the general said, didn't you;
