going when he takes office though may be relatively
passive This is staemated totally unpopular What
will he advocate to end it?
BUSINESS. Many economists think that the boom is
running down. Next year,H is forecast there will be
ably be drop in profits and that will bring drop in tax
collections making the budget problem still difficult
The ranks of the unemployed will be sWeed All this may
happen very after the next President into the

AGRICULTURE. Some farm commodities are in
plus state Other SURPRISES are anticipated So as u
News put it. The President is to be caught between
the pressure of city people interested in cheaper food
farm population insisting that government support for farm
prices against substantial declnesn
BUREAUCRACY. The President is the titular boss of
100000 people-25 civilians and 100000 military
This huge payroll is one of the primary causes of our out
size Federal budgets And here again the next President
must make difficult decision In the view of u S. News,
IF he does not cut the payroll and the functions of the

he does cut the payroll people win be out of jobs

THE DEMOCRATIC PICTURE
washington Daily News

When one looks at the Demo-
cratic presidential picture, what
does he find? He finds lot of
candidates hoping that fate will
smile upon them, but none of
them at the present time seem
to be emerging as the champion.
What does it all add up to? It
adds up to the fact that the
Democrats either unwittingly or
by design are failing to build
up any one man for the nomi-
nation.
If this picture be true, then it
can mean only one thing. If
President Truman is drafted for
the nomination, then what he has
said previously about retiring is
so much "eyewash."
1t really looks to us that a
deliberate plan is now going for
ward to hold back any real
buildup on any one man SO that
when the convention meets next
month in Chicago, the Democrat
ic bosses can say, "see here, Har-
ry, you're the only man we have
who can win-we must have you
to head the ticket-we will have
to draft you" We can just hear
it now.
And then Mr.. Truman, loyal
Democrat that he is, will say
well, boys if there is no one
else to run and you need me
that much, I'll forget my own
self, and accept the draft of the
convention.
This may sound silly to some
people, but if a snowballing draft
is not planned, then why are the
Democrats delaying so long in
trying to pick a real candidate
and stand behind him? We have
Russell, Kefauver, Mcmahon,
Barley, Douglas, Vinson, Harri-
man, and a dozen other lesser
lights. These men are probably
capable, but no real attempt ap-
parently is being made to choose
a candidate acceptable to all
Democrats Kefauver and Rus
sell have been getting a lot Of
publicity, but it has not been of
the bandwagon variety. Right
now, the Democrats have not put
forward a man whom the politi-
clans from all parts of the nation
can join in and say ''yes, I be-
lieve he is the man."
Unless the picture changes
now, we shall con-
tinue to believe that there is
something which the public is
not detecting. And that ''some-
thing may be Truman draft |
in the making.
This is just what the edi-
tor of this Newspaper predicted

Use of Dial System
Begins Early Sunday

Oakland and vicinity will begin
using the modern dial telephone ser
vice after midnight Saturday, May
"a, according to William N. Keller,
Jr., local manager This will mark
the elimination of more than year
of effort by telephone company en-
ploycs, and the expenditure of over
100000 by the company.
The new dial equipment is being
housed in the telephone building
erected for that purpose at 9th and
Oak streets. Twenty-one $ k Ill / G d
Western Electric company installers
have spent 1850 man hours installing
this equipment, according to Mr..
Keller They had to make over Il 900
hand-soldered connections in the POT
miles of wire that is in the building.
On the outside, telephone construc-
ton crews have placed nearly $500
new poles to carry over 1900 miles of
wire in cable and open wire leads.
Over 1000 dial telephone sets were
installed, including approximately $50
rural party line telephones. Mr.. Kel-
Ter said many additional telephones
already have been placed in operation,
resulting in an overloaded condition
in the old manual office. This condi-
ton is to be corrected by the new dial
equipment.
There has been record volume of
calls under trying conditions, accord
ing to Mrs. Rosa Barkdoll, chief opcr-
ator. The telephone operators now
employed, will continue to render ser
vice on information, emergency, and
long distance calls.
New telephone directories have
been on, are being mailed to all sub
scribers, giving the new dial numbers
for every telephone.
