If this pokey is continued we may so weak en ourselves within that we will lack the needed strength to deal with the dangers from without. Election Aftermath The recent election proved four things (1) the Republican party stag ed a strong comeback as was ex pected, (2) President Truman lost ground. (3) the people spoke out strongly in opposition to the Adihin- istration's domestic and foreign pol icies, (4) organized labor was badly trounced despite a million dollar the presidency. The same was true of the late President Roosevelt who made the party a one-man affair. The people should be greatly pleased over the defeat of Senator Millard Tydings of Maryland. He got just what he deserved. He is the gentleman who headed the committee that investigated and found ground less, so he said, the McCarthy charges of Communist influence in the 1 State Department, w’hen there is strong evidence that the Administration has coddled Communists in many in stances. Tydings “whitewashed” the McCarthy cause but that did not sat isfy the American people who be lieve something has gone wrong with the United States policy. When he cleared the Department of the Mc Carthy charges of Communist infil tration he deserved to be retired year in advance — always made money. “Today, women wear silk stock ings, short skirts, low shoes, no cor- ! sets, an ounce of underclothes, have j their hair bobbed, smoke, paint and. powder, drink cocktails, play bridge, j drive cars, have pet dogs and go in I for politics.
