The event is the party's annual Jefferson-Jackso- n Day dinner May 10 at Newhouse Hotel. It should be remembered that the dinner is a state-wid- e event, not confined to residents of the Salt Lake City area. It is the state organization's major fund raising activity. Money derived from the J-- J dinner will go a long way to finance the coming campaign in which Democrats hope to regain the victory trail in both the state and national levels. Therefore it is important that every party member plan to attend this year's Jefferson-Jackso- n dinner. Next to getting out the Democratic vote it is perhaps the most important event of the year as far as success of the Democratic Party is concerned. Mr. Truman Speaks Out Again It remained for former Democratic President Harry S Truman to say in his usual colorful style what many economic experts have been thinking every since the Republican recession began. Mr. Truman, appearing before the House Currency and Banking Committee, this week called for greatly expanded spending by government to shake off the recession. He called for tax cuts for the middle and lower income brackets. Mr. Truman's recommendations were indeed bold, in the best Truman tradition. They were in a class with his decision to drop the first atom bombs and to send U. S. troops into Korea. As in the case with those two historic decisions, the Truman recommendations of this week drew fire from the conservatives who have brought about the recession. President Eisenhower, as was expected, immediately rejected them. But there were indications that the people were behind Mr. Truman as they were on the A-bo- and Korean issues.
