Truman's Action
Casts New Light
On Political Scene
Washington, March 30. — An en
tirely new light was thrown bn the
national political scene Saturday by
President Truman’s announcement
that he would not seek or accept
nomination for another term in the
Write House.
For the Democratic party it means
the national convention competition
for the presidential nomination is
now wide open, and may continue
that way regardless of whether Tru
man tries to influence the choice of
the nominee.
For the Republicans it undoubted
ly will bring a fresh bestirring of
presidential aspirants in an already
hot-tempered campaign, for to most
of them Truman was conceded to be
the strongest man in their way in an
attempted White House comeback
after 20 years of Democratic rule.
It could have an influence on when
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, now
battling it out with Sen. Robert A.
Taft of Ohio for the Republican
nomination, returns from Europe.

As Washington Sees It...
THE NATIONAL SCENE
Special To The Chronicle.
Washington, April 1.—Three big
drives are scheduled to get under
way within the next few weeks
and the American people will be
flooded with propaganda and pqb-
licity on the three objectives of
the drives as follows:
First, the political organizations
of both the Democratic and Repub
lican national committees will start
their campaigns to “register and
vote.” Second, certain segments of
business and industry, spearhead
ed by the livestock breeders as
sociation, the com belt livestock
feeders association and the Ameri
can meat institute and other large
iood groups, will start an all-out! potential vote of 353,000.
000,000 of these voters were regis
tered and in the last presidential
campaign, 1948, only 52 per cent of
the then potential voters, or 48,-
834,000, went to the polls, less than
in either 1944 or 1940.
, Qne of the reasons given for the
recent New Jiampshire primary as
being “inconclusive” and why
many politicians here declare that
the outcome could be taken “with
a grain of salt,” was the small vot
er turn-out. In spite of the fact
that the national spotlight was
turned on New Hampshire, that
naJUpnal figures stumped the state
and that all sorts of efforts were
made o beat the drums for favored
candidates, a little more than a
thrift of the voters turned out to
vote. ) Republicans cast about 92,-
000 ballots and Democrats 36,000,
a total of 128,000 against a regis
tered vote of 313,000 and a total

such organizations as the Ameri

and real estate credit.
National farmers union takes the
position that price controls should
continue so long as things farmers
buy such as implements, autos and
Other commodities are being al
located and materials and prices
continue going up; also, if farm
commodities go over ceiling, they
too should be controlled. However
no farm prices are now over the
OPS ceiling, and under present
law they cannot be controlled until
they go above parity.

Large newspaper ads, TV and
radio shows are to be used by the
electric industry in a new drive
against public power and “creep
ing socialism.” Observers here
point out that the dual role of the
A1MA and the electric indusry
which was evident in the fight_
against national health insurance
will be maintained until the elec
tion in November.

The first drive to “register and

for the lack of interest of the av

right of a free secret ballot, a right
equalled nowhere else in the world.
