WASHINGTON-Shrewd political observ-
ers-including, privately, some of, the
most astute Republicans on Capitol Hill-
are becoming increasingly convinced on two
points. First, Harry S. Truman will run
again. Second, Harry S. Truman, despite
his current low standing in all the polls, will
be a hard man to beat.
One reason for believing that Truman, if
he runs, will be no easy mark, is the simple
contrast between the electoral situation in
1948, and the situation which seems likelyj
to prevail in 1952. In 1948, after all, Tru-
man won despite the fact that he lost four
states-South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana,
and Mississippi-to the Dixiecrats. This
accounted for the loss of thirty-eight elec-
tor.al ballots.
There have been renewed mutterings of
Southern revolt, especially since Senator
Harry Byrd's rebellious speech in Atlanta.
But it seems wholly improbable, as of to-
day, that a new Southern party will be or-
ganized. The fact is that the Dixiecrats.
captured four states in 1948 only because
they tightly controlled those states' poli-
tical machinery and organization. And
what has been generally overlooked is the
fact that the Dixiecrat organization has,
since 1948, been virtually destroyed.
In South Carolina, the Dixiecrats took a
near-mortal blow when J. Strom Thurmond,
Dixiecrat Presidential candidate, was re-
soundingly defeated last year for the Sena-
torial nomination. Governor James Byrnes
is no lover of Truman, but he ,is a regular
to his fingertips, and far from likely to bolt
his party.
In Alabama, the Dixiecrats in 1948 were
strong enough to rule Truman's name
right off the ballot. But the whole Dixie-
crat organization has now been ground
into mince-meat by Alabama's two anti-
Dixiecrat Senators, Lister Hill and John
Sparkman. In Louisiana, national Dixie.
crat leader Leander Perez, who supplied
much of the tactical direction and finan-
cial sinews of the 1948 movement, led the
fight last year to unseat anti-Dixiecrat
Senator Russell Long. Perez was just
about finished politically when Long
romped through with every Louisiana par-
ish save one-a greater triumph than his
father Huey Long ever enjoyed.
The Louisiana state organization is now
firmly in the hands of Long and anti-
Dixiecrat DeLesseps Morrison of New Or-
leans. Even in Mississippi, the Dixiecrat hold
has been slipping fast. In view of the above,
it is difficult to see how the rebellious
Southern mutterings can take any form

more decisive than a futile convention walk-
out. This is so especially since the Truman
administration has no intention whatsoever
of seriously pushing the hatred civil rights
proposals before the Democratic convention.
* * *
ON the fact of it, therefore, this seems to
add up to a thirty-eight-ballot plus for
Truman. 'Add the fact that Truman almost
certainly owed the loss in 1948 of the forty-
seven New York State ballots to the exist-
ence of the Communist-organized Progres-
sive-party. Henry Wallace has long since
retired to his chicken farm, and the Com-
munists are now more capable or organ-
izing even the thin shadow of a national
party than they are of capturing the Re-
publican nomination. The sinking without
trace of the Progressive party is also surely
a plus for Truman.
Other pluses which political seers count
off on their fingers are a Korean truce--
if there is one-and Secretary of State Dean
Acheson's forthcoming departure, which is
now as certain as such things can be. The
Taft-MacArthur wing of the Republican
party s certain to attack a Korean armis-
tice, after the event, as "appeasement."
Even so, an end of the fighting will help
Truman politically, if only because the Kor-
ean fighting, with its heavy casualties, has
undoubtedly been hurting him badly.
A Korean truce will also give Acheson
an opportunity to depart, if not in a blaze
of glory, at least against a background of
solid achievement, which is how Acheson
has wanted to leave all along. It is signi-
ficant that Truman now discusses the pos-
sibility of Acheson's departure without
the former outbursts of Presidential fury.
It seems to be tacitly assumed that Ache-
son is too heavy a political burden to carry
in a campaign year.
Presently leading the list of possible suc-
cessors is John J. McCloy, who would make
a brilliant Secretary. And whether or not
McCloy is to be handed the poisoned chalice,
the Republicans seem pretty certain to be
deprived of "the Acheson issue." This has
been a fake "issue" from the start, but it
has nevertheless been highly useful to the
Right-Wing Republicans.
There are, of course, plenty of Truman
misuses, like the current bitter farm revolt
against the Administration-and it was a
last-minute switch by the farmers, after all,
that elected Truman in 1948. Other greater
misuses may well develop-more and bigger
mink coats, or, for that matter, more and
bigger Koreas. But the greatest minus of
all is the simple fact that most people are
tired to death, far more than in 1948, of the
atmosphere of mediocricity and smallness-
of -mind which pervades the Truman admin-
istration where domestic policy is concerned.
The trouble is that the Congressional Re-
publican leadership, consistently displaying
a smallness-of-mind all its own, seems con-
stitutionally incapable of exploiting this, the
greatest single Republican asset.

CONGRESSIONAL opponents of the Ad-
ministration's economic controls program
which is currently being crippled on Capitol
Hill, would do well to take a look at the
results of a survey on public attitudes to-
ward big business which was recently com-
pleted by the University's Survey Research
Center.
Those Congressmen who are hacking
away at the controls bill using the blind
that "the American people don't like con-
trols" to cover their sell-out to special
interests, may be in for a big surprise at
the next election, according to the survey
which was made public on Sunday.
Far from being opposed to controls, the
survey showed that 71 percent of those
questioned in a representative national
sample held that the government should
have some degree of authority to curb the
power of business over the consumer. Sig-
nificantly, of this total, 53 percent ex-
pressed themselves without qualifications,
as feeling that government control of bus-
iness was a good thing.
The survey turned up other interesting
facts which give further support to the no-
tion that the majority of Americans look to
the feleral government for economic pro-
tection. Seventy-one percent, for instance,
declared in October, 1950, that they thought
big business could sell its products at lower
prices and still make an adequate profit.
Questioned as to the most desirable bal-
ance of power between the Federal govern-
ment, state governments, big business, labor
unions and small business, 62 percent said
that they wanted the national government
to be in the dominant position.
NOW OF COURSE, the survey which was
taken last fall, did not deal specifically
with the currently-debated controls pro-
gram and therefore, it is quite impossible
to say that 71 percent of the American peo-
ple favor the Administration's program. It
would seem, however, that a public which
was in favor of the general idea of govern-
mental controls and which felt that big
business profits were too high and which
wanted the Federal government to have
more power than business, labor or local
governments, could be expected to approve a
Federal controls program which was neces-
sary to the national well-being.
As far as the necessity for strong con-
trols now, there should really be no doubt.
When former big businessmen like Charles
E. Wilson and Eric Johnston plead for
government interference in the civilian
economy, it shouldn't take much more to
convince even the most conservative that
the situation is dangerous.
Apparently those Congressmen who are
voting the special interest ballot hope that
they will be able to pin responsibility for
the inevitable price spiral on the President's
administration of the watered-down controls
law he appears likely to receive.
Mr. Truman's ability to dramatize the
shortcomings of Congress has already been
demonstrated, however, and it seems justi-
fied to suggest that the men who are voting
against controls now are risking both na-
tional economic ruin and personal political
suicide.
** * *
IN THIS SAME LINE an interesting back-
flip on the philosophy of governmental
control was executed by members of the
Ann Arbor City Council in their weekly
meeting Monday. Many of the Aldermen
who voted to end Federal rent controls had
argued that the controls interferred with
the free enterprise rights of property owners.
At the same meeting, however, the
Council approved, with one lone dissent by
Prof. Arthur Bromage, an ordinance mak-
ing it a misdemeanor to employ various
time-tested devices of house-to-house ped-
dlers. From now on, peddlers can be
arrested for entering premises which are
posted with a "no soliciting'' sign.
Fortunately, however, the Council was able
to draw the line when it came to an ordi-
nance proposed by Ald. A. D. Moore, a pro-
fessor in the engineering college. Ald. Moore,
a foe of rent controls, wanted to prohibit
citizens from placing "for sale" signs in the
windows of their cars either while parked
or in motion.
Moore said that he favored the proposal
on "esthetic grounds" because cars carrying
such signs make the city "unattractive"
(translation: "injurious to property values").
With an effort, the Council rejected the
law, 10-3.

Truman To Campaign
On Liberal Program
'Showboat' Review .. ,
To the Editor:
WITH THE recent review of the
movie "Showboat," The Daily
has plumbed the depths and come
up with a new low in reviewing.
Aside from the fact that the
first sentence as it appears makes
no sense whatsoever, and ignor-
ing the fact that a "foating show"
is something that few people have
ever heard of, the rest of the piece
still does not give any sort of a
comprehensive idea of the picture,
its good or bad features.
The second paragraph is a mass
of contradictions and allusions
that mean very little to a person
who is considering seeing the mo-
vie. Who cares about "most of the
musicals to come out of Holly-
wood," or the talents of the "im-
mortal Helen Morgan." What the
reader wants is some definite in-
formation about the movie being
reviewed.-
The reviewer attempts to give
this information in the third from
the last graph, but in the two suc-
ceeding paragraphs manages to
present singularly contradictory
ideas, which serve neatly to leave
the reader, provided he has read
that far, with a puzzled feeling of
utter 'huh'?
How does The Daily pick its re-
viewers? Are they just people who
want to see a free movie, and who
paper their walls with their names
in Daily print? Or does The Daily
try to select persons who have
some degree of critical acumen,
and who are able to present a con-
cise picture of a film's merits or
shortcomings?
One can only say, after reading
the review by Miss Tepperman,
that when a reviewer for "Show-
boat," at least, was needed, every-
one else was out to lunch.

To the Editor:
MATS OFF TO John Briley for
ais editorial in the Daily of July
11. Like many students he has
been made aware by recent ad-
ministrative vetoes, service cuts
and double-talk that at Michigan
"University" and "students" are
words related, but not, in prac-
tice, closely integrated. Unfortu-
nately, I am afraid Briley's will
remain one of the many voices in
the wilderness calling for reform.
The University has increasingly
grown apart from the students
for a couple of reasons in recent
times:
1. Michigan is becoming more
and more a graduate institution,
which means much emphasis is
placed on this more mature,
transient, less-spirited type of
student-and programs appealing
to him.
2. The school is highly interest-
ed in maintaining its standing as
a base for top-notch research.
This at times -may hinder develop-
ment of policies strengthening ad-
ministration-faculty-student rela-
tions.
But regardless of whether these
or any other reasons for the
breach are legitimate, many stu-
dents are fuming about the situa-
tion. They are tired of the long
lines outside the many offices
filled with red tape they must en-
dure to get administrative blass-
ing on some student project.
These are the least of their
complaints. Far worse is the utter
disregard, often disrespect, of stu-
dent opinion. The Student Legis-
lature may argue and vote meas-
ures until it is blue in the face,
but try to get the head office to
listen seriously (witness the bias
claus action, the library closing
protest).
The legislators, along with the
rest of the student body are treat-
ed by a large part of the admin-
istration and faculty as a bunch of
muddle-headed kids. This is prob-
ably true at first. But over time
students and their representatives
-at least some of them-grow. It
is continually amazing to me that
the University protects and conde-
scendingly pats the student on his
pure, innocent, tender head until
he graduates. Then, overnight, he
becomes an intelligent, level-head-
ed leader of the adult universe.
What apparently has to happen
is a change in University thinking
brought about from the outside:
it will not come from within. The
pressure will have to come from
the students-with a loud united
roar. In the past, however, unless
the shoe of restriction and disre-
gard pinched hard, students have,
as John said, given in-or more
likely grown disinterested, as all
humans seem to do easily.

WASHINGTON-Not peace but a sword.
That will be President Truman's policy
in 1952 toward right-wing Southern Demo-
crats who have been collaborating with Re-
publicans to ruin his program in Congress.
Administration Democrats expect him to
run again as a fire-eating liberal interna-
tionalist, defiant alike of foes in his own
and the opposition party. They predict he
will stand fast in the National Convention
and wage a flaming campaign against the
coalition which is thwarting the grand Tru-
man design of peace in the world and sta-
bility at home.
The President is described as feeling
that any Republican candidate will be the
captive of that coalition. He himself will
disavow it utterly and let the electoral
votes of the South fall where they may.
He still thinks he can win.
Those who insist that the President has
made up his mind to such a boat-burning
course admit its hazards but profess belief
that it is the only solution open to him for
the present do-nothing Congress. It is a
burden too great for him to carry into the
election, they think, and the attempt to
shift it to the other candidate is his best
strategy,
* * *
TRUMAN partisans profess to believe that
the President can turn it equally well
against Senator Taft or Gen. Eisenhower.
They figure that Mr. Republican cannot es-
cape the record of Congress which he does
* so much fashion and that he will not in any
case be able to resist the temptation to de-
fend it against a Truman onslaught. This
will injure him by making him appear more
conservative than he really is, they say.
Democrats may be wrong but they are
confident that a conservative is not going to
be elected President.
houl f n_ F icpnh .wp . r.vp in ho fh
him these days by those interested in his
candidacy is not that he is needed to save
the Republican Party. It is conceded that
would not interest him particularly.
What he is being told is that the prestige
of the Truman Administration has fallen so
low that a Republican surely will be elected
President next year. That Republican, it
is further argued, may well be a man too
isolationist to maintain the program of col-
lective security on which Ike thinks the
peace depends. Therefore, it is Ike's duty
to run to save the natibn.
Mr. Truman is in trouble now and he
seems determined to do everything the hard
way. But he knows the record intimately
and he has a policy, however badly his own
immediate circle backs him up and however
rebellious the Congress is. A campaign
against him will require something more
than merely being against, which is the
coalition's program.

J OHN KIRKPATRICK, who gave last eve-
ning the first of two recitals devoted to
modern American piano music, revealed
himself an artist of achievement, taste, and
nobility. Certainly he has no place among
those pianists to whom 'modern' connotes
