DAVID LAWRENCE

Former President Truman
has served notice that Adlai
Stevenson must recognize him
and the "big city bosses" Of
the Democratic Party or he
will not get the nomination
this year.
Mr.. Truman. in his men,
oirs" in Life magazine, criti-
cizes Mr.. Stevenson severely
for failing in the 1852 CAM
paign to give proper recogni-
ton to existing Democratic
organizations in the major
population centers."
AS Mr.. Truman owed his rise
in politics in Missouri to the
boss rule of the Pendergast
organization in Kansas City,
it is natural to find him scold-
ing Mr.. Stevenson as follows:
by alternating many influential
Democratic political leaders at
the outset Stevenson may have
thought he was attaining full
freedom of action. But in
reality he needlessly sacrificed
basic political backing and
perhaps millions in votes. =.
A Democratic candidate for
any Office viii usually fare
better in his campaign If he
does not throw away organ
ization support without good
reason"
Most political observers will
be surprised to learn that
Adlai, Stevenson threw away
any support whatsoever in
1852, and that the former
President speaks so glibly Of
the loss of millions of votes. :"
It is apparent from a reading
of the whole article that Mr..
Truman is at odds with Mr..
Stevenson because somehow
the latter didn't fall all over
himself to accept always the
advice of the then functioning
leader of the party.
It is apparent also that MIR.
Truman is irritated because
Mr.. Stevenson permitted him
self to use the phrase 1.-The
mess in Washington" Here is
how the former President de-
scribes it:

The suggestion of burning

additional advice.
To avoid a recurrence. scour
the skillet with steel wool and
securing powder at regular in

regular dishwashing manner is
not sufficient to remove the
grease that adheres to both

If it happens to be a skillet

rust. I always dry skillets over

Business Rolls
AT a Good Rate
Despite Strike
BY JOHN BAUSMAN
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, July 7 (R.-The
Nation wide steel strike and a
midweek July holiday gave
United States business an extra
shove this week toward a mid
summer lull.
Except in steel and auto out
put, however, the economy APP
peared to be rolling along at a
good rate for this time of year.
Key industry and trade figures
stood near or above those OF a
year ago.
The pattern of lower for the
week but higher than a year
ago. was seen in oil, coal and
paperboard production. Bank
clearings indicated money was
flowing through the economic
system slower than the week
before but more than 10 per
cent faster than a year ago.
Department store sales were
the brightest spot in the picture.
Sales for the year have been
running 4 per cent above last
years record and the Federal
Reserve Board this week figured
June volume had jumped to 9
per cent above 1855.
In the past week sales ran
Il per cent higher than a year
ago in an average of all reserve
districts.
The auto industry, with pro-
duction so far this year down
about 25 per cent from 1855, took
comfort in reports that dealer in
ventories are being reduced.
BY far the chief concern Of the
week was the steel strike. AL
ready $4,000 or more workers
have been idled in allied indus
tries, principally trucking and
railroads, in addition to the $780,
900 striking steelworkers.
The number of secondary lay
offs will grow as the strike con-
tinues. Heavy construction work
will be among the early Suf-
fererS.
