The country needs an able, hon est man at its head the next four years who will fight Trumanism in the open as Senator Taft is doing. We have had enough of the corrup tion and mediocrity which the Tru man administration typifies. Kefau- ver’s statement showed the-way he is leaning and the hope he no doubt has of winning the support of the so-called Democratic organization. Says Truman Feared England and France Above Soviet In 1945 Washington, March 18. — Senator ( Capehart (R-Ind.) told the senate today that President Truman said in 1945—before the Potsdam conferenc es—that he was “more afraid of England and France than he was of dently given him the wrong infor mation with reference to Russia and the Communist crowd.” He added that if Truman “had fol lowed the advice that was given to him at the time by Senator Wheeler and concurred in by the rest of us and had stood up to Russia at Pots dam, we would not be in the mess we are at this time.” A Democratic leader, who occom- panied Capehart, Wheeler and for mer Senator Hawkes (R-NJ) to the White House on the 1945 visit, told reporters he couldn’t remember whether Wheeler made the state ments attributed to him by Capehart. Later Wheeler confirmed the con versation as reported by Capehart. Wheeler, how a Washington attor ney, told a reporter he thinks Presi dent Truman was “misled by the state department” into trusting the Russians at that time. But he added that the President later “changed his mind” and once complained to him that “these Rus sians won’t even live up to their written agreements.” NOTICE OF MEETING OF STOCK HOLDERS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on April 7, 1952, at 11:00 ajn. at the offices of the Clinton Paper Box Co., E.

Richard Russell announced yesterday that he will expand his bid for the Democratic presiden- tian nomination into an all-out na tional campaign. That is proper if he has any hope of securing the nomination. In many parts of the country his announcement was ac cepted as merely a protest against Truman in the hope that the latter will not run. The South Carolina senators, congressmen and*t>ther offioe hold ers have come out strongly en dorsing Russell who is a capable senator and ranks high in the esti mation of the party, especially in the South: It is being predicted that the Georgian w’ill sweep the South, with the proviso usually added—unless Truman runs again. Our congresional delegation has gone to- the bat for Russell there by taking the pressure off them selves on the Truman issue. But what the voters want to know is: If Truman wins the Demo cratic nomination, what w’ill they do? Will they support him under the label of party loyalty as they did tw’o years ago when Governor Thurmond was making a gallant fight against the present Adminis tration and what it stands for? What did they do then—they fol lowed the Truman crowd. What the voters want to know Tax collection—the nation’s big gest business, has now been taken out of politics by Congress and is about to be converted into a civil service career business. The step is being made to purge the bureau of graft and politics by taking the district collectors’ offices out of pol itics and putting them under the civil service merit system. A num ber of Southern Senators, includ ing Maybank and Johnston of this state, were lined up with the oppo sition to the measure. Senators “love” patronage power. The American taxpayers who are putting up the money have little faith in the present Administration which is ear-marked by corruption on the part of many government employees and high-ups. Turn all of the rascals out, we say, regard less of who it hits. Will this change improve conditions? Will it con tribute to a clean-up? Will it cre ate public confidence? Millions of oppressed taxpayers hope and pray that it will. The call for a house cleaning in Washington rings loud from every housetop. Reorganiza tion and civil service cannot them selves jcjeaiL out corruption. They can, how’ever, contribute to a clean-up by discouraging corrup tion and influence. A Fair Dealer Like Truman The big news of the past week w’as the stunning Eisenhower and Kefauver victories in New Hamp shire’s nationally important presi dential primaries to give a surging momentum to their campaigns. Eisenhower won over Senator Rob ert Taft by a margin of several thousand votes and made a clean lr tho^e who are now loudly TVGOP delegates. The dorsing Russell—how will they!

Will! down active in his support which they vote for Truman if re-nomi nated as party followers, or Will they rise as Americans and cast their ballots as independent vot ers? That is the 64-dollar question which they have all evaded thus far, and we guess, will continue to dodge. A Unanimous Decision This column commented last week „ on the three-judge federal court in Virginia unanimously up- in a large measure was responsible for the result, coupled with popular support from his party. The big upset was Senator Ke- fauver’s decisive victory over Pres ident Truman and he thereby greatly increased his stature at a time when many political observers were inclined to count him out. What kind of a showing he will make in other states will now be the big question to settle whether he is likely to prove a national fig ure in the campaign. This newspaper is against Ke- holding the constitutionality of law’s of that state requiring sep- j fauver because he is a Fair Dealer, arate public schools for whites and We are opposed to anybody that Negroes. The case was brought, as was recently done in this state, by spokesmen of the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Col ored People. Since then a similar court in Charleston has ruled again in ef- endorses Truman and is not willing to come out in the open and make an aggressive fight to defeat “Tru manism” once and for all. Here is what he said after the result was announced: “I am entirely elated over the results.
