3rd Party Protests
U. S. “Gestapo’’
NEW YORK, (/P)—'The Wallace
for President campaign committee
has complained to President Tru
man that a Washington newspaper
story on police activities, “if true,
means the equivalent of a gestapo
is now policing the Capital of our
nation.”
The committee sent a telegram
to the President last night asking
him to demand an investigation of
a “blacklist” reportedly being
compiled by the federally-employ
ed Washington police .from names
of persons attending certain public
meetings.
Truman Declines
To Say He Will Run
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman declined again yesterday
to say flatly he will be a candidate
this year.
Told that Senator McGrath, <R.
Id, Democratic national chairman,
had said he was going ahead on
the theory Mr. Truman will be the
party’s standard bearer, the Pres
ident laughed and said that was a
good hunch.
“You mean that Mr. McGrath’s
hunch is a good one?” a reporter
asked.
Th% President then hedged a bit,
saying it could be.
In response to another question
he said he had not discussed with
anybody the placing of a south
erner on the Democratic ticket for
vice president.
Deins Try to 1 ock
(Jivil Rights B 1
—
WASHINGTON. </P> — Rebelli
ous southern Democrats hoped to
block one of the civil rights mea
sures President Truman wants en
acted.
The bill would create a national
commission against job discrimin
ation on grounds of race, creed or
color.
Foes and backers of the mea
sure agreed the vote would be
close. Mr. .Truman touched off a
political explosion in the Dixie
wing of his party earlier this week
when he urged Congress to act on
a 10-point civil rights program.
Besides the fair employment set
up, it calls for an anti-lynch law
and other measures which always
bring deep-south Democrats t<>
the boiling point.
