wallace claimed that his expansive love for his fellow men had not been diminished by his ex penances penen perien ces in the south but it stood as a tact fact that the ramparts of that abiding affection must have under gone a severe test As the progressive party a s dennial candidate wallace had gal bantly penetrated into the southern states to bring them his brand of enlightenment but the crusader was not ampre elated he was received in north carolina by hostile audiences who showered him with invective vili vill fi cation eggs and tomatoes his speeches were blanked out by boos and catcalls in winston salem durham burlington greensboro and charlotte N C wallace was stunned with unbelief at what was happening to him in burlington where the full force of north carolina carolinas s pera tive live mood was unleashed the for mer vice president was not even given a chance to talk he was un able to do anything except dodge missiles and plead with the furious citizens closest to him that things like this were not supposed to nap hap pen in the united states it was an ugly display of bad taste that spread hysterically from town to town as wallace s tour progressed the egg and tomato tossing was severely criticized by top U S officials including dent truman who called it highly un american business and said mr wallace is entitled to say his piece the same as any other american nevertheless in north carolina wallace s say was confined tor for the most part to protestations against the treatment he was receiving at greensboro with egg shell clinging to his head be he shouted I 1 don t mind being hit by eggs and tomatoes but they would be more useful being fed to children the faces I 1 have seen distorted by hatred are of people tor for whom I 1 have in my heart profound corn com passion because most of them have not enough to eat the crowd laughed at him and as wallace left north caro lina ima to head into alabama and mis sis sippi it looked as though he might be able to use some profound corn com passion for himself tor for his racial views are opposed even more vi in those states BACKING for truman As the two major presidential candidates prepared to swing their campaigns into full career in prep tor for the november elections some good news popped up for president truman the CIO officially threw its sup port to the democratic ticket and pledged the organization to work for his election that was the way the CIO had written itself on the political books this year but the action left the organization simmering with inter nal discord bitter protests of 12 left lef twing wing un I 1 ion on leaders had had to be overcome before the CIO could cast its lot with truman and barkley the dis benting unions wanted to support wallace and they had their way insofar as the resolution adopted by the group was easy in its criticism of the progressive party s candi date GOP nominee thomas E dewey however was condemned as the candidate of big business the headed by gov strom thurmond of south carolina were shrugged off in the resolution as a coalition of democrats and do nothing republicans that has steadfastly adhered to the philos ophy of the national association of manufacturers the pro truman resolution by the CIO executive board did not feces mean total support for the president however philip murray CIO president said that the 12 dis benting un ons are not bound by the majority decision to back mr tru man any union still may exercise its right to do what it wants he said that meant apparently that the leadership of at least 12 CIO unions numbering more than a million members would continue to labor in behalf of wallace while 30 other unions with about 5 5 million mem bers would go to work for the dem socratic party crowd fury F henry wallace progressive party candidate tor for president has discovered that the penalty for espousing political ide ideas as that lit dif ter fer sharply from the majority opinion is hatred speaking at greensboro N C he was pelted with eggs and vegetables which probably Is just another form of freedom of expression BERLIN some talk tall that sound of sabers rattling in berlin meant this time that the disputants in the fight over control of the german capital were merely laying down their swords to get together and talk about it once more tension lifted almost visibly when the big four military gover nors of germany met for the first time in more than five months to discuss a single currency for ber lin and the lifting of the soviet blockade of the city the meeting was called in the first place to implement decisions reached by the american british and french ambassadors with soviet foreign minister molotov in moscow at least the moscow talks had accomplished that much topping the list of items for dis cassion was the problem of what ta do about the rival currencies in berlin at present both eastern and western zone marks are circulating in the city it was understood that the con derees in moscow previously had agreed in principle that only the soviet zone mark should circulate in berlin but that it be under tour four power control there were still conflicting atti tudes audes as to what course the berlin parley should take however the russians believed that an agreement on getting a single cur rency must be worked out before any final east west agreement on berlin can be possible in washington the U S state department part ment backed by great britain and france was insisting trat the soviets must lift the berlin block ade before any discussion of the currency problem is held the whole situation was extremely complex and actually few per sons outside of high official circles made any pretense of being able to understand it fully about as far as general under standing of the subject went it was limited to the realization that un less an agreement were reached soon the tortured peace would be come more dangerously strained

have been so widely condemned and excoriated as the so called truman doctrine for e economic he help to G greece and nd turkey almost since its inception the truman doctrine has been de bounced as a fraud a farce and a flop much of the denunciation however seemed to be based on opinion rather than fact actually for a long time it was almost im lm possible to assess the condition of the greek aid program now the government has come out with a report to congress that states bluntly that american mill tary and economic aid has removed the danger of greece falling to communism while not all the problems in greece are solved the crisis of 18 months ago has been averted one official said the aid program in greece is over the hump the report submitted by dent truman and covering the first year of american efforts to keep greece free embodied virtually the first optimism anyone anyon e has ex presed regarding the picture in greece so far does this optimism extend that greece now is accepted of filially fic fici lally ally as the bright spot in american attempts to help vother other nations resist the onslaughts of communism in asia and other eu countries the anti comma mst battle is not considered won government emphasis of course Is on the fact that the task in greece still is not done between 15 and 17 greek guerrillas remain at large despite recent sue suc besses by government forces and guerrilla action may continue for several years depending on the amount of aid received by the rebels from albania bulgaria and yugoslavia briefly the official success story of the greek

when he incensed the call forma fornia governor by failing to visit him while on a tour of the state but charles E hughes was nev erth eless as near to being a great man as most people ever get and he
