a small roast in grandfather’s day.
Alas, but we have no Aladdin’s

Aladdin by reading an advertise

“Something fantastic is going on

people believed that the job could

And out of that sipirit grew the

Which means you, and you, and

how well we do our jobs, no mat

must devote all our energies to the
serious task at hand and build with
every tool at our command for the

Senator Russell Gets
New Support As
Dixie Candidate
—♦—
Washington, Dec. 11.—A South
ern “revolt” against the possible
re-election of President Truman
picked up strength today with
fresh support for Senator Richard
B. 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.
