Truman Boards Plane
For Chicago Today;
|WiI| Speak Tonight
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman goes to Chi
|cago today to spark the Demo-
cratic presidential campaign with
a speech that can be expected to
defend 20 years of New Deal-Fair
Deal rule and warn against a
change.
Finally on record in support of
the candidacy of Gov. Adlai Ste
venson Of Illinois, the President
is due before the convention to-
night to give his blessing to the
nominee, and chart the course he
feels the party must follow.
Reports that Mr.. Truman was
in the Stevenson corner were con-
f1rmed at the White House late
yesterday. soon after the President
had announced settlement of the
steel strike.
Press Secretary Joseph Short
said:
President Truman has asked
Tom Gavin to cast his vote for
Adlai Stevenson"
Gavin Serves as Stand-in.
Thomas j. Gavin of Kansas City
| is the Presidents alternate in the
Missouri delegation.
Associates said at the same time
that the Illinois Governor had
been Mr.. Truman's choice for the
nomination ever since March 20,
when the President announced he
would not seek reelection.
Accompanied by Mrs. Truman,
the President leaves Washington
on the presidential plane. Inde-
pendence at 2::30 pm. for the two
and one-half hours flight to
Chicago. Arriving at the conven-
ton city, Mr.. Truman will 60
directly to his quarters in the
Blackstone Hotel, until time for
dinner.
He will dine privately at the
Saddle and Sirloin Club, adjacent
to Convention Hall. and then walk
to the meeting.
MIR. Truman will speak off-tne-
cuff, according to Mr.. Short. In
recent months, when the Presi-
dent has had prepared texts, he
generally has ad libbed to such
an extent that the completed
speech bore only slight reSem-
blance to the original.
Going to Missouri for Primary.
Leaving Chicago tomorrow, the
President will go home to indie
pendence to remain until the Mis-
souri, primary, August S. Missouri

TEHERAN, Iran, July 25.-Maj.
Gen. Wayne Zimmerman. head OF
the United States Army mission in
Iran, today ordered the closing Of
officers and commissioned
officers clubs in the wake Of anti
American demonstrations spurred
by Communists.
The newly-opened American
club available to all United States

closed. The step was taken to
prevent any heavy concentration
of Americans in one spot that
would make them a target for
demonstrators.
The action was taken after

Iranians last night that Commu-
nistS are attempting to use the

Premier Mossadegh took an un-

'Brituin and the Muu Muu'

Your editorial, Britain and the Mau
Mau," was not too surprising. Such
editorials have always followed biased
tone. -
You seem to concentrate on only facial
values, forgetting utterly that the
actions Of the Mau Mau are not just
taken for the sake of crime in itself.
The Mau Mau people are fighting for
can colonies did in the 18th century.
Their methods are primitive because
that is the only way left to them. Your
methods were modern, championed by
the powerful forces Of the French.
You must consider carefully the
treatment of the Kenya natives; you
must realize the inhumanity which pre-
walls, and you must admit the right Of
the natives to fight for their rights.
To say that the British have only to
use force is condoning the British to
do that which is wrong. Their passive
attitude to the racial questions in the
Union of South Africa and their active
participation in the Kenya upheavals
leave q striking contrast of British be-
haviour. This attitude goes to show
that might is right; philosophy which
we so-called civilized men seem to
abhor.
To try to connect the Mau Mau
movement with Communism is to put
the movement in a disfavored position
to the American peoples. Men will ever
resist injustice. They did before the
birth of Communism and they will do
it after its death.

Some such thought as this was in

There was an unusual number OF cars

Yesterday was happy day for those
who could vote, not so happy for those
who could not.
It was q day of shame for residents
of the District of Columbia, who had
no vote.
They were, in fact, not citizens, being
classed with paupers and the insane!
This sad situation (still unknown to
millions of Americans, who think resi-

impossible for those living In the Ma

For Majority Rule

The overwhelming success Of the Arlington
Independent Movement is a victory for majority
rule in the thickly populated Virginia county
across the Potomac River. The election Of the
three AIM candidates and of the Republican
candidate to the four vacancies on the County
Board represents triumph for the large con-
servative element in Arlington. It means the
defeat of a liberal minority which, banded to-
gether under the Non-Partisan banner, had
gained ascendancy over conservatives with divid-
ed allegiance. Significantly, the conservatives
won by adopting the device Of their opponents
uniting their strength in support Of single slate
The Non-Partisans in Arlington rose to power
by taking advantage Of the old-line partisanship
of majority Of the voters. A year ago the Non
Partisans retained control Of the County Board
by electing candidate who polled only about
one-third Of the total vote cast. The Republic
cans and Democrats divided their two-thirds
majority among five candidates. Taking lesson
from the well-organized Non-PartiSans, some OF
the more conservative members OF both regular
parties decided to adopt the unity strategy that
had proved so successful against their own dis
unity. There came into being rival "nonparti-
san" group, calling itself the Arlington Independ-
ent Movement. Its objective was the capture
of three seats on the board made vacant by q
court ruling holding that Federal employees are
ineligible to serve on the board. The Non-Parti-
sans raised cry Of IDEAL" between the Repub-
Ncan and Democratic Parties In behalf OF "re-

items from ar editorial in the Norfolk

IA, 1914, how little change there Is in
politics:
I'VE understand from all quarters
that the incompetency of the admins
tration is growing into general belief
that the opinion is not confined to the
FederalistS alone. but is extending rap
idly among the most enlightened Of the
Democrats. But, it is asked, what can
be done-Mr. MadiSon's term of service
expires in March, 1917. and before that
day the Nation may be ruined? We have
no doubt, and with sorrowful heart we
say it, that If Mr.. Madison continues
President to March, 1877, it will be OF
little consequence who succeeds him,
for the work Of ruin will be done. Z.
IF it be fact, and that it is so we
cannot doubt, from the evidence Of
many circumstances Mr.. Madison's ad-
ministration has lost the confidence OF
the Nation, there must be change. Z.

the loan had failed. the war must be
continued-we say it must be continued,
because peace is not as we once be-
lieved, in our opinion, and how can it be
continued unless money can be obtained?
If loans fail, taxes must be increased,
that is, direct taxes, for impost has van
ished; the people cannot bear additional
taxes; next to be resorted to is paper
money. This dangerous expedient
must be avoided. If possible: If adopted.

L with sense Of relief. He had kept
that date with his conscience and his
hopes for the future.
He had voted for q President. He knew
1t was more than just electing some
stranger to the White House and some
political party to Congress. His whole
life was involved in it.
He was not one of those who closed
his eyes. smiling pleasantly like a man
in dream, and told himself: Everything
will come out all right. no matter what
happens, and America will be trium-
phant. He didn't kid himself.
This game with the mob in the

He knew just one big mistake in the
years ahead, by President or his party
in Congress, might sink us for good. In
the past there might have been time for
bad mistakes. and time to- overcome
them. Not any more. Time counts too
much now.
He had thought about this election
ever since the big political conventions
last summer. reading the papers, watch
ing the politicians and the candidates
on TV. listening to them.
Some Of what he heard he had to wash
out of his mind, like man rinsing sand
through sieve, looking for some shining
particles Of truth. It wasn't easy for him
and he knew it wasn't easy for any one

The well-supported Jewish claim could
be overcome only if the Arab claim
proved to be stronger one. But this is
not the case. The Arab claim by con-
quest is imperfect for a number Of
reasons. No Arab state can pretend to
be the legal successor Of those who
conquered Palestine in 634.
Ways must be found for satisfactory
adjustment with the Arab world, which
has civilization of it's own which in
the past has shown itself to be of a very
high order. It is decidedly RESPONSE
bility of Israel to learn to live in peace
with the Arabs and to help them to
develop their own potentialities and be
helped by them. At present, blind
forces Of violence and aggression amidst
the Arabs are the prime hindrance I
am sure that among the Arabs there
are more moderate and more civilized
elements who today fear to show
themselves. ... .'ss ..
