He made the fac- es of Dr. Gallup, Elmer Roper and the Crossley people look very red. Talking to his friend, Morris Ernst, a.short time ago, Truman remarked that the political poll- sters would blush on the day af-) ter election. Ernst, though one of the few who really expected Truman to win, half jokingly asked the Presi- dent what he would do after he! was defeated. “I'm not going to be defeat- ed,” replied Truman. “But if I should be, I would go into the poll business and put Dr. Gal- lup and the others out of busi- ness.” WHY TRUMAN WON Here are this columnist’s ideas on why Harry Truman won out over Thomas E. Dewey in the mod- ern amazing version of the race between the tortoise and the hare 1. The American people admire a man with courage, even though they don't always agree with him. Truman didn't ducksa single issue, though some of them were so tough they caused bitter rebellion inside the pary. Dewey sidestepped most thorny issues. 2. The American people side with the underdog, don't like to see the powerful guy kick the little fellow around. Up until midnight, November 2, Truman was the un- derdng in this race > over some others. in the national can win with lnbor' against him, or the farmers, or the housewives. But he can't win with, a large section of labor and the farmers and the housewives—all against him. 4. Dewey_ didn’t alienate these three groups, but the 80th Congress did. The American public in 1946 had been honestly hungry for a change, so they voted the 80th Congress in. But a two-year glimpse of that G. O. P.-controlled, lobby- ridden Congress made most people shudder. Here are some of the things about the 80th Congress that turn- ed their stomachs. 3. A man THE LOBBIES HELPED TRl.'MANI The Big Tax Lobby—How Re- publicans on the ways and means committee put Wall Street lawyers on a special committee to write the new tax laws—in favor of the big-bracket boys. The Big Grain Lobby—How three Argentine and European grain combines hired a Kansas City ex-congressman to sabotage | government grain storage and gov-! ernment grain purchases in new farm bill The Manufacturers’ Lobby—How the reciprocal trade act, the teach- ers’ pay act, and especially all at- tempts at price control were killed by the big business boys. The Real Estate Lobby—How with millions of people pounding the pavements looking for homes, the lobby cleverly blocked public housing, but put across government subsidies -for its own real estate ventures THEY DESERTED THE SHIP They probably won't be around the White Hpuse any more: Bernard Baruch— The elder statesman got an appeal from Truman to serve on a committee to help the Democratic Party, but declined. Truman wrote back a stinging letter, reminding Bernie that he had appointed his brother as ambassador, always listened to his advice, and that friendship was a two-way street. Kenneth Royall— The secretary of the army, called "Dumbo,” went out of his way in an interview to describe Truman’s re-election as not nec- essary to national defense hulking sometimes The school teacher in question was that “rara avis,” a Communist who came right out and admitted being one. The problem is not that. John L. Sullivan—The handsome secretary of the navy's contribu- tion to the political campaign was largely playing golf at the Burn- ing Tree Country Club. While the “chief” was making dozens of speeches daily, Sullivan, Royall, Symington and Forrestal basked in the October sunshine on the golf course. James Forrestal— Some time ago Forrestal decided that Dewey was going to win, and from that point on lifted no finger to help Harry Truman, e e CHAPELADIES BAZAAR At the Chapel-by the-Lake on Sat.

Althot of Portland, Ore., has been appointed resident en- gineer for the Union Pacific Rail- road, northwestern district, with headquarters in Portland, and Earle F. Kidder of Salt Lake City, Utah, has been promoted to di- | vision engineer, Oregon division, according to L. A. Collins, generalj | manager of the company’s north- | western district The appointments, which made by W. C. Perkins, chief en- engineer, Omaha, became effective November 1. Althof succeeds Mr. Samuel Mtr- ray, whose retirement was recent- ly announced. He has been a di- vision engineer for the company with headquarters in Portland since 1935 except for 18 months service at Omaha as district en- , gineer, 1941-1942. Coming to the Union Pacific in 1911 as assistant engincer at Salt Lake City, Mr. Althof has seen service on every district of the railroad as district engineer, division engineer, main- tenance of way engineer or assis- tant engineer. Kidder, a native of Baker, Ore., attended the University of Oregon, was first employed by the Union Pacific in 1910 at Portland as en- gineering assistant, became a divis- ion engineer at Walla Walla in 1917, and later served as division | engineer at Spokane. He comes to his present post from Salt Lake City where he has been division engineer, Utah division.
