Truman Takes Brisk
Walk in New York,
Wont Discuss White
Declares He Will
Comment If 1t
Becomes Necessary
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-For-
mer President Truman took his
usual, brisk, early morning walk
today and smiled happily as
pedestrians and cab drivers
shouted greetings.
"It's bound to give any person
with a heart lift to know that
people think so we'll Of you," Mr..
Truman told reporters accom-
panying him on the Commute

He was voluble on many sub
Sscts. including the wisdom of
observing traffic lights and the
welfare of New York's many
large f1ocks of pigeons.
Refuses Comment on White.
But he smiled and declined to
comment on the controversy over
the late Harry Dexter White,
former Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury under Mr.. Truman
and one-time executive director
of the International Monetary
Fund.
Mr.. Truman was asked to
comment on the statement of
Gov. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina that the former Presi-
dent had read an FBI report on
Whites alleged Communist &C
tivities before the Senate con-
firmed Whites appointment to
the international Monetary
Fund. Mr.. Truman smiled and
said:
"Sorry-no comment. If it
becomes necessary I will COM

necessary as yet"
Exchange Greetings.
Pedestrians appeared startled
to see Mr.. Truman walking
along the streets, but they
shouted greetings nonetheless.
Taxicab drivers were especially
friendly.
boy, do we miss you, Harry, :"
one shouted.
well, I'm glad you do" Mr..
Truman replied.
At one point he was trapped
on Park avenues traffic island
when the light changed, and al
though traffic was light he re-
fused to move until the light
changed.
Its not a good idea to get
your neck broken" he observed.
Every one should observe traf-
fic lights-it'S a good rule"
At Fifty-second street and
Madison avenue Mr.. Truman saw
flock of pigeons and said he
wondered how they survived. A
reporter told him that citizens
fed them daily and that they
probably were the best-fed pig
cons in the United States.

MANILA, Wednesday, Nov. II.
Ramon Magsaysay today took
an expected early lead in Manila
over President Elpidio Quirino
in apparently the least violent
presidential election in the re-
public's seven-year history.
Eight persons we're reported

Magsaysay, the ex-guerrilla
fighter, who quit his job as de-
fense secretary under Mr.. Qui-

The first complete. unofficial

gunf1re and stabbing.
Four Killed in Gun Battle.
Five men and a youth we're
slain in volatile Cavite Province,
four of them in one gun battle.
One person was reported killed
at Rosario in Launion Prov
ince and another was reported
stabbed to death in a polling
booth at San Carlos, Pangasinan
Province.
After hearing the first reports,
Mr.. Magsaysay said they seem
encouraging" but he added "it's
too early to form any def
nitive opinion"
He said if the elections were
clean and peaceful and vote
counting is honest he will win
sweeping victory" He added:
1T seems the courage and de-
termination of the people have
prevailed"
The polls closed at 6 pm.

Election Today
California
Fills House Seat
Dexter White Case
BeIutedIy Injected
Into Campaign
By the Associoted Press

LOS ANGELES, Nov 1O.-The
final congressional election of
the year drew Nation wide at
tention today to the Oath Cali
fornia district, where a Demo-
cratic victory would reduce the
Republican m ajority in the
House of Representatives to two.
The registrar of voters has
forecast a 40 per cent turnout,
or about $4,000 votes, in the
special election.
In their campaign Republican
forces emphasized that success
for their candidate would con-
stitute a vote of confidence in
the Eisenhower administration.
The Democrats, steamed up by
recent triumphs in Wisconsin
and New Jersey, have indicated
they would regard election of
their man as a definite straw
in the political wind.
218 Republicans in House.
The House lineup at present is
218 Republicans. 215 Democrats,
one independent and one va
cancy-the seat which will be
filled today.
Two Democrats and two Re-
publicans are in the race, and
the one who polls the most votes
will win, even though his total
does not represent a majority
of ballots cast. There will be
no runof.
Cross-flling, in which a candi-
date may seek nomination by
more than one party. does not
prevail in California special
elections such as this but only
in primaries.
The seat at stake is the one
relinquished by Norris Poulson,
Republican, when he was elected
Mayor of Los Angeles.
Republicans have given their
official Endorsement to Glenard
P. Lipscomb and the Democratic
Party organization is backing
George Arnold. But also in the
race are John L. E. Collier, Re-
publican, and Irving Markheim,
Democrat.
Two In State Assembly.
Mr.. Lipscomb and Mr.. Collier
are State ASsemblymen. Mr.
Arnold is a lawyer, son of Thur
mond Arnold, assistant attorney
general under President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. Mr.. Arnold's
wife is the daughter of columnlst
Drew Pearson. Mr.. Markheim
is a veterans service officer who
ran for Congress unsuccessfully
against Mr.. PoulSon in 1852.
Belatedly injected into the
campaign yesterday was Attor-
ney General Brownell's charge
that former President Truman
promoted Harry Dexter White
after the FBI reported it had
information White was a Rus
sian spy.
Mr.. Arnold countercharged:
"BroWnell has shown his true
colors as a Republican political
boss attempting to interfere in
the election I am not afraid
of the Republican political
bosses. If elected, I am going to
be a watchdog to see that Brow
nell devotes his time to the nom
partisan job he is meant to per-
form, that of being the chief
legal officer of the United States" "
Mr.. Lipscomb said:
Il am sincerely concerned over
the report that a known sub
versive was kept in Office by Tru-
man and even promoted despite
reports that he was spying for
Russia.
"The slobal menace of COM
muniSm has long been a matter
of grave concern and am proud,
as a candidate for Congress, to
know that the Eisenhower ad-
ministration, which I am sup
porting, dropped Lass security
risks from Government payrolls
during the four months ending
September 80 last, which is three
times as many in five years of
Truman'S administration"

This left it up to Mr.. Byrnes

mony of Brig. Gen. Harry H.
Vaughan, former military aide
to Mr.. Truman. The subcom-
mittee also will hear Miss Ruth

Vaughan's secretary at the
White House.
In the last few days, Mr.. Tru-
man repeatedly denied receiving
any FBI report on White in 1945
or 1916. After the ByrneS state
ment, however, Mr.. Truman had
no comment.
Mr.. Byrnes/ said Mr.. Truman
received the 1916 report and ex-
pressed surprise and concern
over it, but nevertheless allowed
White to take a top job with
the International Monetary
Fund.

With devastating detail, Mr..
Brynes supported Attorney Gen
eral BroWnell's charge that, "the
Truman administration had full
and adequate notice of Whites
spying activities"
Mr.. BroWnell made this state
ment last night in renewing his
accusation that in December,
1945, and in February, 1916, the
White House received-but ig-
nored-FBI reports that White
was a Soviet spy. Mr.. BroWnell
said copies of one or both of the
reports went to eight Truman
administration officials, includ-

was conglomeration of old
wooden shacks with one So
called hotel where the q in
habitants of the nine available
rooms had to share the same

It had then become the
nominal capital of the young

break away from the old ira

of the sultanS. At that time it's
chances did not look particu-
larly good except to those who
knew the stamina of the Ana

Today Ankara is a brand
new capital Of a cohesive re-
public. It has one large boule-
ward named, as many another
in this country, after Kemal
Attaturk, creator of the re-
public. 1t has brand-new mod
ern buildings, a few provincial
hotels and a good deal of
pride. It is fast becoming a
political mecca which Western
statesmen feel they must visit.

Two-Party System in the South
Republicans Advised That 1854 Elections IS Good Time
To Build 6. Q. P STRENGTH in Dixie From Gross Roots

Next years Congressional
elections would be the logical
occasion for the Republican
Party to begin a job about
which we heard a lot in the
flush of victory last November.
That is to set earnestly about
creating real two-party Sys-
tenn in the South. If this is
to be done it must begin soon.
It is generally recognized
by persons familiar with the
South that an effective, Wig
orous Republican Party can
rise there only on a sound
foundation at the bottom,
that is, organization from the
precinct level up, and running
candidates for local and State
Offices and Congress. Gen.
EiSenhower'S astounding show
ing in the South last Novem-
ber could be a starter, but its
long-range effect depends on
whether Republicans there
follow it up by putting down
roots in their own communi-
ties. In short, the beginning
is only so good as are its
grass roots.
Another man on the Re-
publican ticket once broke
the "solid South" That was
Herbert Hoover. Twenty-four
years ago. in 1923, he also
carried four Southern States,
as did Gen. Eisenhower last
November. But, though he
tried and sought to build up
a grass roots organization in
the South, Herbert Hoover
failed. The South lapSed back
into it's acquiescent one-party
role. 1t was not until 194S
that real rebellion broke out
again, and the bolt was to
the third-party Dixiecrat t
movement. Not until last year
was the bolt directly to the
Republican national ticket.
That ticket was headed by an
outsider. Gen. Eisenhower,
like Mr.. Hoover, was not a
professional politician. nor
was he tagged with the G. 0. P.
label. That is important to
remember.
For 1t was that SeparateneSs
or aloofness that made it
easier for Southern Democrats
to desert to the Republican
ticket, much easier, indeed,
Unan 1t will be to continue to
support that ticket in the case
of local, State and Congress
sional elections. The last, how
ever, now becomes the test as
to whether the Republican
Party. at long last, is to estab-

spite British diplomatic recog-
milton of the Red regime.
It has arrested and detained
Americans and Britons in vio-
lation of international law and
civilized diplomacy.
From the American view.
therefore, it is preposterous to
admit Red China to the United
Nations.
Whereas Americans view the
inclusion of Russia as a catas-
trophe, the British regard it as
a godSend, and would so re-
gard the admission of Red
China.
In this view, the world is
safer with the sinners in the
U. N. than out. Law" do
mestic or international, has
never been observed by revolu-
tionary governments, who
make their own laws.
International claw" cannot
peacefully be enforced against
a great power without a gen.
eral war, nor against a satel-
lite of a great power without
risking general war, and no
nation will accept or take a
risk, possibly involving sur
vival, on moral or legalistic
grounds.
The United Nations, in this
view, is a useful sounding
board for gauging world reac-
tions, and a possible means for
pacifying tensions. Those are
its limits.
