U. S. Elects Truman,
Democratic Congress
“Now maybe you would like to know why I have made
this fight for the people. I will try to tell you. It is a matter
of the things I believe in.”
President Harry S. Truman spoke those words to the nation’s voters
on the night before election. And he believed hard enough to get him-
self re-elected to another term in the White House.

SPEARIN',..
Perhaps he made a wish on a
star, too; but In the end It was his
own dogged, courageous fight that
won him what amounted to a man-
J date to serve.
Ilis 371 speeches and 31,500
miles of campaign travel, his
will to win, his unflagging con-
viction that he would win and
finally the Justification by the
people of his confidence made
Mr. Truman’s re-election a truly
amazing political phenomenon.
He is President today despite the
political experts, despite the public
opinion polls, despite the lethargy
and lack of support within his own
Democratic party and despite all
the logic that was advanced to show
that a Republican administration
was needed for the good of the na-
tion.
Upset the Dope.
What happened? How did Harry
Truman manage to upset the dope?
Following the Initial shock of sheer
nation-wide disbelief that he could
have made it, it became apparent
that there was not one but a com-
bination of several factors operating
unobtrusively in the President's
favor.
The surprisingly heavy vote
was a vital point. It lias been
axiomatic for a long time in the
U. S. that as the number of
voters increases so do the
chances of the Democratic
party.
High prices, high rents, the hous-
ing shortage—all of which Mr. Tru-
man emphasized strongly in connec-
j tion with his assaults on the "sec-
| ond worst" 80th congress—aided in
turning the people away from a
Republican administration.
Organized labor concentrated on
getting its members out to vote
against members of congress who
had supported the Taft-Hartley law,
and that circumstance redounded
to the President’s benefit.
The fact that virtually no one real-
ized—with the possible exception of
Mr. Truman and a few of his loyal
subordinates—was that the tide of
tlie campaign had turned in the last
two weeks before the election.
Last Lap Drive.
Mr. Truman’s slugging, earthy
drive during the last three weeks
before November 2, and converse-
ly, Dewey's insistence upon main-
taining the bland, high-level tone to
his campaign brought the President
a lot of votes.
Finally, the farm states did
not come in nearly as strongly
Republican as they had been
expected to. Mr. Truman had
succeeded in planting a fear,
in his Midwest campaigning,
that the GOP would do away
with farm support prices.
Thus, at 11:30 a. m. (EST) on
i November 3, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
conceded the election to President
Truman, shortly after the pivotal
states of Ohio, Illinois and California
had definitely gone Democratic.
What can the nation expect from
the next four years of Democratic
government under President Tru-
I man?
Foreign Policy Stays.
U. S. foreign policy will remain
basically unchanged, keeping as its
mainspring the European Recovery
Program. As a matter of faet, it
would have retained its status quo
j under a Republican administration,
j too. But in any event it is reason-
i able to assume that most American
( voters cast their ballots not so much
! on the basis of foreign policy as on
domestic issues.
Whether or not much, if anything,
will be done about the Taft-Hartley
act is more of a question than it
seems.
In the first place, although the
j Democrats have a nominal major-
Growth of Baby Teeth
When a baby is born his first
tooth are already formed in the
gums, although they usually don’t
begin to come through until be-
tween the sixth and eighth month
The diet of the mother before
the baby was born determines the
health of the baby’s teeth, which
begin growing five or six months
before birth.
The permanent tooth as well os
the baby teeth begin to form be-
fore birth. The baby’s diet afTccls
the condition of these? second teeth.
Calcium in milk and Vitamin D in
fish-liver oil are essential for
strong healthy teeth.
You can breeze through a good
part of your Christmas shopping
by simplifying your gift list. It’s
probably a fact that a good many
of your friends enjoy cigarette or
| pipe smoking. You can easily
please these friends by ordering
j several cartons of mild, mellow
Camels and pound tins of rich-
tflsting Prince Albert from a local
dealer. Both these popular gills
come ready-wrapped in gay holi-
day dress. No oilier gift wrap-
ping is necessary. There's even
space for your personal greeting.
Save time and energy this Christ-
mas season by giving cool, mild
Camels and mellow Prince Albert
Smoking Tobacco. (Adv.)
He fought and won
ity in both houses of congress, it
remains to be seen if they will have
a dominating workable majority
with enough strength, for instance,
to repeal or amend the law.
Also, some Democratic con-
gressmen arc not convinced that
the Taft-Hartley law is as black
a tiling as it has been painted.
One of the first demands that
President Truman and the Demo-
cratic 81st congress will get from
the people will be to do something
about high prices and inflation.
Action along this line probably will
take the form of price controls—
perhaps wage controls as well. Mr.
Truman is likely to try again to get
congress to pass the 10-point anti-
inflation legislation he first eluci-
dated a year ago.
Truman Receives 304
Electoral Votes to Win
During the dramatic early hours
of the-election returns, electoral
votes seesawed back and forth be-
tween Governor Dewey and Presi-
dent Truman, changing as the tide
of popular votes from each of the
states was tabulated.
In the final compilation, President
Truman garnered a total of 304 elec-
toral votes, 38 more than the 266
which were necessary for him to
be elected.
Governor Dewey collected 189
electoral votes and J. Strom Thur-
mond drew the Dixiecrats votes of
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi
and South Carolina which totaled
38. Wallace failed to get a single
vote.

The Splinter Parties
Neither Henry Wallace's Pro-
gressives nor J. Strom Thur-
mond’s Dixiecrats turned up with
a decisive effect on the election.
The total impact on the national
electorate of Wallace’s "love
everybody, including Russia”
philosophy was extremely small.
He polled only slightly more than
a million votes, made no great
inroads in any state.
Thurmond and the southern
state rights party carried four
states. Alabama, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and South Carolina, prov-
ing that the Democrats can win
an election without a completely
solid South.

Kidneys/
Help Them Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
Your kidneys are constantly filtering
waste matter from the blood stream. But
kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do
not act as Nature intended—fail to re-
move impurities that, if retained, may
poison the system and upset the whole
body machinery.
Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—a feeling of nervous
anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis-
order are sometimes burning, scanty or
too frequent urination.

treatment is wiser than neglect. Use

One of the minor sidelights
of the late, great election was
provided by Mrs. Fannie Rock-
well of Danbury, Conn. She
turned 104 years old on Octo-
ber 25 and celebrated this
chronological attainment six
days later, on November 2, by
casting a vote for the first
time in her life.
RED PRICES:
Going, Up
America doesn't have a capital-
istic monopoly on inflation. Russia
is getting her share of that un-
comfortable condition, too.
Here’s what happened in Russia
in August: Postal and telegraph
rates were boosted 33% per cent.
Train fares and long distance
phone call rates went up in vary-
ing amounts. In Moscow subway
fares jumped 25 per cent and
streetcar fares from 50 to 100 per
cent.
J TREATY:
On the Way?
In view of the existing physical
| and ideological rift which has dl-
j vided the world into two opposing
battalions, It has come to seem
] almost inevitable that the western
| bloc sooner or later would devise
some kind of formal military
j treaty for tho mutual protection
1 of the nations concerned.
AND A few days before the elec-
I tion word began to creep out from
among "high American sources”
that a military treaty was on tho
way.
The report was that drafting
] was scheduled to begin soon of an
agreement pledging full aid to the
five-nation Brussels alliance of
j western Europe. Results of the
U. S. election were In no way sup-
! posed to affect the plan, since
both major parties had committed
themselves in principle to backing
tho Brussels alliance.
SUCH AN alliance supposedly
will link the United States and
j Canada in formal treaty relation-
j ships with Britain, France, Bel-
gium, Holland and Luxembourg.
From a behind-the-scenes stand-
point, this will not be a new move, j
It is highly probable, indeed, that
the broad outlines of a north At-
lantic pact—with some details j
sketched in—has been in existence
for some time.
The alliance is expected to com-
mit the U. S. and Canada to:
1. HUILD up air, land and sea
forces of the Brussels powers.
2. STANDARDIZE equipment and
training.
3. CREATE a seven-nation uni-
fied military strategic command
under an American commander-in-
chief.
4. PLEDGE a guarantee of each
nation's territorial integrity in case
of war.
5. GIVE the Ninth American
powers the right to ■ stablish air,
land or sea bases in any of the
five other countries.
U. S. officials expect that the
treaty will be ready for ratifica-
tion by the middle of 1949, barring
extraordinary events. How con-
gress will react to such a treaty
is, for the time being, a debatable
question.
SHIPBUILDING:
Navy Expands
Increasing importance in the
minds of U. S. defense chiefs of
underwater and air warfare, in-
cluding consideration of possible
attacks across the Arctic, was re-
vealed in a statement outlining
the navy’s post-war shipbuildinj
program.
Vice Adm. Earle M. Mills, chief
of the bureau of ships, listed the
development of advanced proto-
types in four major fields as the
aim of the building and conversion
plan:
“FIRST, aircraft carriers cap-
able of handling the fast, heavy
long-range naval planes developed
and under development since the
war; second, high-speed, deep-
submergence submarines; third,
anti-submarine vessels to combat
these submarines; fourth, ships
equipped for Polar and picket
service.”
Battleships were not mentioned
in the statement, nor was there any
direct reference to preparations
against air attack over the roof of
the globe, but the program’s em-
phasis on polar ships was consid-
ered self-explanatory.
IN THIS phase of the program,
two destroyer escorts and two sub-
marines will be specially fitted for
off-shore aircraft detection. One
cargo ship and two floating dry-
docks for landing ships will be con-
verted for service in polar waters.
The aircraft carrier part of the
program includes the construction,
to begin late this year or early
in 1949, of the yet-unnamed super-
carrier of 85,000 tons, designated
as the CVA-58.
