However, my mind turned to Aladdin by reading an advertise ment. Here’s the heading: “They’re Making a Piker out of Aladdin in America”. Yea, verily, as some of the ministers used to say. Let me quote the advertisement: “Something fantastic is going on in the work shops of America. Few people believed that the job could be done . . . few predicted the mir acle.

Rusell (D-Ga.) as a potential Dixie candidate. Russell himself, newly returned from Europe, told a news confer ence: “I am not a candidate. I am ’under no illusions as to a Southern er being President of the United States.” The Georgia senator, veteran quarterback of Southern filibusters against President Truman’s civil rights program, did not close the door, however, against the possobil- ity that he might become the lead er of anti-Truman forces at the Democratic nominating convention next July, as he was in 1948. The new boost for Russell came from Senator Stennis (D-Miss.), along with a broad hint that an or ganized Democratic revolt will rise in the South if Mr. Truman decides to run in 1952.
