ONE RECORD FOR SURE Although it is fairly obvious that he likes White House and is quite willing to live there a few vears longer, Mr. Truman leaves it oftener and for longer journ than any previous incumbent. Tabu- lating the peregrinations of the past seven Presidents, the U. S. News reveals that Mr. Truman has traveled even more miles each than his globe-trotting predecessor. Political affiliation seems to have nothing to do with the wanderlust of successive Presidents. ‘Wiliam Howard Taft set a record and held it for a long time, the year with an average of 28,639 miles a year publican, however, Calvin Coolidge, did the least junk- eting of the seven, He made only 6,372 miles a year. Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Hoover traveled only a little more than Coolidge. Mr. Roosevelt made few journeys, as well as many shorter ones, to move ahead of the Taft record. But Hary Truman has gone even ahead of this. His annual aver: now stands at 30,- 312 miles a year. And last year he covered 34,565 miles. With his recent non-political jonrney behind him, and with an election campaign evidently ahead long a spectacularly of him, Mr. Truman seems likely to hang up an all-| time mileage record in excess of 40,000 As to what these statistics prove we are not quite sure. On the record, it would be hard to make a documented case for inveterate journeying, or for staying quietly at the White House and looking after the papew: work. The safest generalization, perhaps, would be simply to observe that a man can do a lot of traveling without necessarily getting anywhere n advance, $7.50; | Another Re- | Predicting the outcome of the Republican con- | vention, Herbert Brownell, a Dewey manager, said, on June 3, “Dew will be nominated on an early ! ballot without any smoke-filled room deal.” “L nominated the ninth' ballot,” ‘S‘.\Nl‘n on June 10. | - more votes on the first ballot than any | other candidate,” said Taft on May 22. “Taft will lead on the first ballot with 312 votes and be nominated lon an early ballot,” said Taft's campaign committee | chairman on June 10, ! “The Republicans will be on said pick Vandenberg,” { James A. Farley on February 6 Someone's been talking through his hat said 1 East-Side, W (Fairbanks Ne Two Governors of Atlantic and Pacific seaboard States today see before them the task of capturing the majority confidence of all the States between them, before November. Tom Dewey is a mighty man in the East. His locomotive political drive hit the Philadelphia con- { vention like a battering ram, splintering the hopes of candidates who figured that if they could hobble Dewey for three or four rounds of ballots, they could engage in a free-for-all of their own for his votes. They could not—or would not—forsee the strength of the “new Dew: In the West, Earl Warren is, if anything, even more of a power than Dewey on his own coast. War- |ren has personal attributes that few men in high { public office seem able to retain after being in high | public office. Chief among these is a modesty almost | unbelievable in a man who has never had trouble win- ning elections i It was this personal trait cof Warren that so abruptly catapulated Dewey into the Presidential | nomination—which the New Yorker would eventually | have won anyway. Warren was never an active candi- date for the nomination. He was willing to carry the Republican colors if drafted. When it be ne obvious | that he would not be called, he subscribed to the clear will of the convention by releasing the votes of his delegation—20 more than Dewey needed. That move loosed the Dewey landslide. | Earl Warren aspired to the Vice-Presidential nomination less vigorously than he sought the No. 1 ! position. Dewey asked for him. The convention con- curred unanimously. Warren accepted with the same grace apd promise of devotion to duty that he would have given to the Presidential nod. l Dewey is aggressive, diligent in his work, a man { who can take a stinging blow and come back standing | straight, talking straight and renewing the battle un- flinchingly. Warren is thoughtful, warm with friendli- ness, his ear keyed to the wants of the people he serves. Dewey and Warren make a powerful ticket. It will take more than a Truman-controlled Demo- cratic Party to punch it. ‘ | (Cincinnati Enquirer) Despite increased use of assembly line machinery, the labor fraction of the automocbile dollar continues to enlarge. A recent statistical note says that labor is taking a 25 per cent greater share of the total | costs of doing business than in the prewar year | This is not merely a reflection of higher wages, either. There has been a concurrent slump in indi- |vidual productivity, or, at least, there has been a constant increase in the number of man hours needed to build an automobile. | A decade ago, it took something like 150 to 160 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— s Bowings Dapcevich John G.

A call for a community band practice has been issued for Friday night at 8 o'clock in the Grade School auditorium, and all ail- able musicians, who can read at sight and are willing to march in the parade are urged to turnout for & short practice on marches. There are several musicians from the USS Atlanta who will join the band for the parade, and with others volunteering, together with the eight of ten members of the Juneau City band and High School band who are in the city, it looks as if there will be a good aggre- gation for appearance in the cele- bration.

S. Attorney’s staff, are in- volved, it is most convenient find excuses to pestpone irom one grand jury to another. “A member of the Dallas Loan Guaranty Division was in the U. S. Attorney's office while interro- gations were being made concern- ing overpayments, and an operator admitted receiving $2500 overpay- ment as ‘that was my sales price, and curtly inquired ‘what do you intend to do about it?’ “The answer was negative, the operator was a ‘prominent cit- izen.' " Again on June 10, Andrews made the following report regarding U.S. Attorney Frank Potter whom this columnist charged with dragging his feet. “In view of the indication In these létters that the U. S. Attor- ney's office may not be properly cooperating in the prosecution of the persons and corporations in- volved, it is thought that perhaps you may decide to bring the mat- ter specifically to the Attorney General.” FRAUDS IN FT. WORTH Andrews also reported to the Veterans Administration that the side-payment complaints referred to Potter totalled more than $100,000. Regarding near-by Ft. Worth, the Veterans Administration official re- ported: “In Ft. Worth one operator, Whitehall and Williams, has been reported as collecting overpayment on all transactions.

They suz- gested sending one car to each of the 48 states as a permanent souvenir, " Accordingly permission has been given by the French National Rail- |ways to send the cars, and the French Line has agreed to ship them to the United States without charge. The French veterans also pro- pose loading these cars with gifts for the American people, but have ruled out any food, drink or luxury items. Also they do not want to send anything to Americans made out of raw materials received un- der the Marshall Plan. Therefore they plan to send typically French, nenluxury items such as Sevr ! pottery, Limoges procelain, Bac- {caret crystals, engraved woodwork, Annecy church beils, Brittany bon- nets, peasant costumes, plus history documents of mutual interest to the two countries.
