Truman Calls
Election Crucial

BOSTON, Sept. 90 (R.-
Former President Truman said
tonight that the United States is
approaching an election Of criti-
cal Importance.
The Eisenhower-Nixon adj
ministration. he said in a pre-
pared speech at a Democratic
rally, "has brought us to the
brink of so many potential diff
ficulties and disasters that it
will be extremely hard for any,
one to guide our ship of state
through the perils and hazards
of the next four years" a.
1.-THE Republicans have been
coasting on, and using up. the
economic strength and the inter-
national good will they found
when they took Office in 1853" he
said. Z
There is not much margin Of
safety left"
Sees Upset in Making
Mr.. Truman accused the adj
ministration of mistakes and
bungling" and said he has "a
very strong feeling that there
is another upset in the making
this year just as there was in
1948."
Mr.. Truman made no direct
reference to President Eisen-
hower's health, but he said:
1T seems to me to make sense
to move out of the White House
voluntarily without waiting to be
carried out.
And for your information.
that is what ! was telling people
in 1920 you should not mis-
construe it in connection with
any current situation"
Mr.. Truman said the real issue
in the campaign so far as cam
didates are concerned. lies be-
tween the Eisenhower Nixon
ticket and the Stevenson-Kefau-
yer ticket"
Remember" he said, you
cannot elect Ike without electing
Nixon"
Blasts Reactionaries
Mr.. Truman said that "reac-
tionaries" in the Republican
Party have been willing to fol-
low Mr.. Eisenhower to some ex-
tent "only because they hoped
to ride his coattails when he ran
for reelection"
But certainly, and in any
event, after the election, when
Ike can run no more, the Re-
publicans in Congress are not
going to be much concerned
about following him"
II don't believe those coattails
are going to do them much good
now" headed. las someone
has said. those coattails we're cut
of right short in the Maine
election"
Mr.. Truman said the re-elec-
ton of Names Democratic Gov.
Edmund S. Muskie was more
than shock to the 'Publicans-
they haven't found the alibi yet.
1T is a harbinger of Demo-
cratic victory"
Earlier, at news conference,
Mr.. Truman characterized as
"just a lot of poppycock" the
statement Of an administration
spokesman that today's real
dollar will purchase more than
1t did in the Truman admins
tration.

Absentee Vote
Drive in Area
BY JOHN v. HORNER

A concentrated campaign to
get out the absentee vote in
Washington's metropolitan area
particularly Republican abb
Isentee votes will be launched
here tomorrow.
George L. Hart, jr., District
g. o. P. chairman, disclosed yes
terday that the party's local
committee and special staff
will bear down this month in
an effort to garner all possible
Eisenhower Nixon ballots and
all possible votes for Republican
congressional candidates.
He implied that strong abb
lsentee balloting here might spell
the difference between defeat
and victory, at least in some
of the congressional contests
throughout the United States.
Chairman Hart called a formal

the voters here accounted fol
the difference between defeat
and victory.
He cited other examples.
The chairman called upon
all District Republicans to help
make a success of the absentee
voters campaign. He seemed
to reflect the party organiza-
tion's concern over apathy among
voters this year when he said:
II cannot emphasize too
strongly the urgency Of your

That $4,000 increase in divi-

personal income in 1855 was
$306.1 billion, and during the
first eight months of 1856 at an
annual rate of $321.8 billion.
That's a seeming gain of S per
cent but, as Federal Reserve
pointed out, a real gain of only
2 per cent.
incidentally, the figures show
that labor is not doing badly at
all. In 1855, while the total
personal income was $306.l bill
lion, wages and salaries were
S2l0.4 billion. In August, at an
nual rates. the total was 1928. Q
billion, Of which wages and sal
aries constituted $227.1 billion.
In percentages, wages and
salaries rose from 68.7 per cent
OF the total to 69.2 per cent.
Government figures on the
purchasing power of the dollar,
based on Labor Department sta
tistics. bear out the idea sup
ported by the Federal Reserve.
If the dollar was worth a dollar
from 1947 to 1949, it was worth
90.S cents in the wholesale mar
ket during an average 1885
month and 87.3 cents in August,
1856. In the consumer market.
it was 87.3 cents in 1855 and
65.6 in August.
But If you go back to 1858
as the 100-cents base, the buck
in August was worth 45.7 cents
in the wholesale market and
5l.2 cents in the consumer
market.
Something. 1t seems. is hap
pening to our money.
