Welcome Wallace
Third Party
WASHINGTON, (A>)—Hanry A.
Wallace comes to his hour of de
cision tonight, with Democratic
leaders hoping that if he elects n
head a third party he will pull no ^
punches in his criticism of Presi-,
dent Truman.
The view of these Democratic
strategists is that a Wallace fi,,m
paign on a “peace” ticket w<>u.d
react to the President’s benefit lfj
the former vice president displavs
publicly the bitter feelings ho is
reported to hold against Mr. Tru-j
man for kicking him out of ns
cabinet.
Latest reports to the Democratic
high command are that Wallace
will make the leap into the Presi
dential race in his radio speech
from Chicago at 4:30 p.m. (Nome
time), contending that both major
parties have become “war” par
ties and that the only road to peace
lies in developing a new policy
toward Soviet Russia.
R e p u blicans, confident that
Wallace can command some so
called left-wing votes which other
wise would go to Mr. Truman,

the long run. Sparkman headed

campaign drive in 1946.
Meanwhile in New York, differ
ences of opinion on the staff of
New Republic magazine over its
connection with the political fu
ture of Wallace, it’s editor, have
been highlighted by the resigna
tion of William Harlan Hale, edi
tor in charge of articles.
Hale, novelist historian and New
Deal Democrat, said yesterday he
had mailed his resignation to
Michael Straight, publisher.
The reason was reported to be
the decision of the magazine not
to drop Wallace’s writings com
pletely if the former vice president
i runs for President on a third party
; ticket next year.
