Freight Traffic Survey Started

The Alaska Resource Develop ment Board is making a Freight Traffic and Tariff Survey of sur face transportation in the Terri tory. Work on this project began August 6, according to Al Ander- son, Executive Director.
 Anderson said that the major portion of the analysis will be di- rected by Llewelyn c. Jones, Freight Traffic Manager for the Ketchikan Pulp Company.
 The purpose of the survey, An derson said, is to assist the ship pers of Alaska in working out shipping patterns and methods which will result in lower trans portation costs. These transporta- tion costs, Anderson said, cut across every segment of the econo- my of Alaska. These costs must be reduced if the Territory is to prosper and develop, he stated.

Truman Candidacy for Third Term

over there that Dwight Eisen-
hover led the victorious armies
which emancipated them in
1915. Money talks louder in
Europe than any victories in
war.
Even today, there is a steady
propaganda against President
Eisenhower in European cir
cles. 1t is directed primarily
against Secretary Of. State
Dulles but aimed at Ike indi-
rectly. The usual line is that
poor Ike" is all right, but that
he doesn't get the right advice
on how wrong his Secretary of
State is. The truth is Ike has
a great admiration for Dulles,
and the latter is unpopular in
Europe because he is too good
an American.
There are many Trumanites
among the Americans abroad
who keep hammering away at
the Eisenhower administra-
ton. and their criticisms are
tempered only when they see
the money coming toward Eu-
rope again. They were enthu-
siastic when Dulles said some
thing about wanting to see
NATO "broadened." They
thought Immediately it meant
at least a couple billion more
of American taxpayers money
for Europe. They were disap-
pointed.
Another Truman admins
tration, whether headed by
him or a candidate of his
choice, would be a spending
adminiStration-and hence Eu-
rope is getting ready to give
Truman a royal welcome in
more senses than one. Dis
patches about his triumphal
tour abroad will help the Tru-
man candidacy for a third
term.
Influential Democrats talk
more about the possibility of
nominating Truman than they
did a couple Of months ago
when the idea first began to
take hold among the Demo-
cratic politicians as the for
tunes of Kefauver and Steven
son started to sag. Adlai
Stevenson probably is the
ablest OF any of those men
toned for the Democratic
presidential nomination, but
his word moderation" has
hurt him among the groups
that want an extremist like
Harry Truman. So it's Tru-
man who is getting the nod
just now.

A Republican boast that

peachable source.
Madison avenue is the New

The occasion for the boast

Development Administration.
Notable figures from the ad-

At the end of the dinner,
after compliments to Moscoso,
John r. TEX" McCrary arose
and announced that he would
wrap up the dinner in his own
words. In 1852 McCrary, a
radio commentator, was one of
the managers of a huge Eisen-
hover rally in Madison Square
Garden.

Triumph Seen Baking Rebel Governor,

ers have been fearful that

volt if he could find an excuse,
and he is demonstrably hard
to please so far as anything
Democratic is concerned, man

his favorite-son candidacy, will
offer Southern leaders and
delegates a figure about whom
to gather so they can act in
concert, or approximately so,
and thus be able to WELD more
influence on platform and in
selection of candidates for

than would be possible without
such a focus as the Senator

idea to use the Southern

THOMAS L. STOKES
johnson Victory to Affect Party

Democratic candidate told the
Texas Governor to his face
that he could not support the
"tidelands" oil bill, whereupon
the Governor went back home
and came out for Gen. Eisen-
hover.
Why not Senator johnson,
himself, as the 1856 presiden-
tial candidate?
In the first place, the Texas
Senator has seemed, at least
up to now. to regard his health
as a deterrent, though he
might conceivably argue him
self out Of that, or be argued
out Of it, since the President,
who is many years older, is
running despite a heart at
tack identical in nature with
that which Senator johnson
suffered a few weeks earlier.
Whether or not he eventually
adopts the Presidents logic,
his nomination is not favored
by some Democrats for the
very simple--if blunt-reason
that it would remove the
health argument that Demo-
Gratis expect to use against the
President.
There are. however, other
arguments that are more per-
suasive with other Democrats,
among them the Texas Sena-
tors active sponsorship Of two
measures promoted by big oil
interestS-the "tidelands" oil
bill and the natural gas bill
which are recognized as too
much in the category Of "spe-
cial interest" legislation.
Another argument advanced
against the johnson nomina-
ton is that II does not seem
possible for a Southerner to
win a presidential election in
these times Of raging contro-
versy over migration and
civil rights. Beyond that. there
are those who believe It is i'm
possible for a conservative, or
even a moderate" Of the
johnson type. from the South
or anywhere else to win on the
Democratic ticket.

ton, and that's why he wants
to make a comeback.
The politicians who insist
that Harry Truman would
make good candidate offer
answers to all objections. Thus,
when it is argued that the
campaign would revive the So
called Truman scandals" the
answer given is that there now
are plenty of scandals about
the present administration
which can be exploited politi-
cally.
AS for age, the hero wor-
shippers of Harry Truman say
that at 70 he is in better
health than Ike. There is the
argument, too. that Truman
would unite the party and that
the Stevenson managers and
supporters would fall into line,
as they are Trumanites at
heart.
The little matter Of the
South presents a problem to
the Truman supporters. Some
of the Northern strategistS,
however, aren't counting too
heavily on a reconciliation on
the civil-rights issue anyway,
because it might cost Negro
votes in the North-and at
present the Negro vote is pre-
dominantly De m ocratic in
such cities as New York and

that he doesn't want the nomi-

When Harry Truman an
nounced on Monday that he
doesn't wish to. be a delegate
to the next Democratic Ma
tional Convention and that he
wants to be "a completely free
agent. it was a tip-off that
the most powerful man at that
August gathering will be the
former President.
Trumanites abound through
out the Democratic Party
men who think as their hero
does and who feel he is the
only man who can make a
rough-and-tumble campaign
against Ike.
The former President, of
course, hasn't any particular
fidelity to the laws of po-
likeness in politics. He still
wonders nevertheless why
President Eisenhower doesn't
hobnob with him, though, if
he would read over again some
Of the innuendoes about the
Presidents integrity which he
let loose in his campaign
speeches. the former President
might be enlightened.
The Democratic Party of to-
day is basically a Truman
party. The former President
really can have the nominal
ton again if he wants it. He
is eligible under the Constitu-
ton because the present ban
against three terms Specifi-
cally exempts from any limit
the man in the White House
at the time the amendment
was adopted by Congress.
Truman already has played
an influential part in shaping
the course of his party toward
various contenders. He has
managed to indicate that he
doesn't favor Senator Kefauver
and he has played cool toward
Adlai Stevenson. He has been
cagey about the candidacy of
Gov. Hartman of New York,
whose financial help at critical
times in the past is deeply ap-
preciated by the former Prea-
dent. But he doesn't take the
Hartman candidacy seriously.
Harry Truman knows that
there is no candidate who will
make the vigorous campaign
he himself would wage against
Presto e n t Eisenhower. He
realizes that the verdict of
1852 was construed as a repu-
diation Of his own administra-
