TRUMAN AS A DEMOCRAT IN ALMOST SOLID DEMOCRATIC CITY Selfish interests, provided, they do not entail spite or any other ill feeling toward anybody, are not condemna- ble. Aman has selfish interests in his business but, if he plays the game fairly, he does not leave himself open to censure. So The Citizen frankly admits that Key Westers -have selfish interests in President Truman’s coming here Biv his “working vacations”, but that attitude is solely Gohlined to our devotion to our hometown. ™ Some people in Key West, as well as everywhere else inthe United States, do not like Mr. Truman, politically speaking, but the question of a different political com- plexion in no way curbs [Key Westers’ gratification over Mr. Truman's choosing to establish his Little White House in Key West. The Citizen doubts if he is as gen- erally well liked in any other city, not excluding his home town of Independerice, Mo., as he is in Key West. : from our appreciation in the President's com-! ing here,,the conclusion: that his popularity here is great- er than in any, other city in the country.is based on Ke: West's politicul affiliation. In proportion to population, there are more Democrats in Key West than in any other city. A bare handful of Republicans resides here. At one time we had. seven or eight hundred Republicans in Key ~ West, almost all of them colored folks, but now practical- ly all of them ate Democrats. A leader among the color- ed folks told The Citdzeh that, so fat as he was able to learn, every one of them supported Mr. Truman in the 1948 election. : Not since Reconstruction days have we had 4. local ‘or county-wide Republican ticket in the field, so that a/ nomination in a Democratic primary is virtually an elec- | tion. If the President feels at home among Democrats, and it’s safe to assume he does, then, as he could not have chosen a better plate than Key Wesi for climate, he could not have chosen a better place to find people who see eye to eye with him politically. »neighborliness, which are felt toward Mr. Truman but | can not be manifested in full mef&sure toward him be- | Cause of the exglusion that must’be maittainéd for a man | Holding the office of President of the United Stakes: But | “"SCIsWell for him to know of that feeling and to know |» steiner encanta an AO : Key West is noted for its hospitality and its compact | SCIENCE | NEWS | .

M4 | Kefauver accused the Republican Party of losing the peace by ‘per- suading the country ‘jthat our fu- ure lay in isolation.” | ; President Truman rested up in Key West, Fla., preparing 'to stump the country, whether he seeks re- election or nc. He is expected to announce his decision later this month. | Two Southern Senators—Byrd ‘of Virginia and Maybank of South | Carolina—said the South will have ‘a deciding voice in whe the next | President will be and what plut- | iorm the Democratic Party adopts, | Both are backing Sen.

Other happenings in the presi- dential sweepstakes: 1, Filing was closed for Oregon’s May 16 primary with five Republi- ean and three Democratic candi- | dates fox President. On the Re- lican side are Eisenhower, Gen. tiglas MacArthur, Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, Stassen and Gov. Earl Warren of California. On the Democratic ticket ate Kefauver, Gov. Adlai Stevenson of [Illinois and Supreme Court Justice William |0. Douglas. | 2 An Associated Press poll of \ New Jersey Democratic delegates- at-large and their alternates show |Mr. Truman as top choice for the Presidential nomination and Stev- | enson second. 3. MacArthur asked officially that his name be taken off the nd Jersey presidential popularity poll. : This is false. Section 105 provides that only male persons may be in- dueted into the Corps. This legislation gives the President complete authority to make deferments from train- ing and service for anyone en- gaged in study or other en- deavors necessary to the main- tenance of health or safety. The same deferments are au- thorized under UMT as are au- thorized under the existing draft law. ‘The bill recommends one in- structor for/every two trainees and it could establish a total military dictatorship in the United States. Furthermore, UMT will not save any money. e Le'’s. look at the facts. An amendment to this bill will require the Armed Services to absorb the cost of UMT in their current bud- gets, and also to absorb, under existing manpower ceilings, the in- structors that will be necessary for ‘he Corps. The Armed Services Committee claims that, the bill will result in a saving of 13 billion dollars. It is planned to have about 300,000 in training each year. They | will be paid $30 a month. Those in regular service receive $82 per | month. Since the regular army will be eut down by one man for évery {hree inees_a savings will be effected. The best answer to the charge that UMT will result in a total military dictatorship in this country is the fact that we have over twelve million veterans of World War II, and we certainly don’t have a military dictatorship as a result of their training. Loyalty to our Constitution is _ not even included in the induc- tion Oaths. Section 103 of the Act states: “As a member of the National Secur- ity Training Corps, I do solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiarice to the United States of America and that I will uphold the Constitution of the United States.” ‘The nation and its representatives in the Congress of the United Stat- ‘es face a momentous decision. It is imperative for all of us to keep | statements about this legislation —or so the merchants hope. | Some, however, already are cut- |ting down their former more op- | timistic hopes. They say that the stretch-out of defense spending by the government has delayed the \timetable of the return of pres jperity. Maybe, they say, it will j;come later this year, perhaps in. ‘the pre-election months. | Department store sales in the ;nation last week ran 15 per cent! behind a year ago, the Federal | Reserve Board reports. It blames |this year’s bad weather in some | ‘eities, as well as last year’s boost from early-Easter shopping. Dun & Bradstreet—which esti- | mates this week’s spending in all | retail stores, as distinguished from just department stroes—says dol- }lar volume is running from 2 to 6 per cent below the level of a y jago. Southern women are sho’ a little mere interést in spring clothing, the agency says, but in ‘the North Easter shopping hasn't started yet. And everywhere the men are showing much less in- terest in duds than are their wives. Some merchants aren't down- hearted. They say the late Easter will te a help. It means a longer | period of selling spring clothes— warmer weather of a late Easter stimulating the desire to shine in the Easter parade. And the Federal Reserve notes that department store sales in February ran 105 per cent over | the 1947-49 average, which indi- cates the merchants aren't exactly Starving. Last year’s February war-scare buying ran 115 per cent over the average. | Some chain stores reporting their | February sales have shown gains up to 12 per cent over last year, , thus offsetting somewhat the drop | in sales in the department stores. which are founded on untruths.
