Show I Pres. Truman Gains But Not Enough As Election Nears Fifty-one members of the National Na-tional Press Club in Washington, Washing-ton, polled as "leading political experts," have decided by a fifty-to-one vote that Thomas E. Dewey will be the next President of the United States. From Roscoe Drummond, of the Christian Science Monitor, comes the information that the one vote for Harry S. Truman was cast by Harry S. Truman, who as President of the country is a life-time member of the National Na-tional Press Club. The poll, undertaken by Newsweek News-week magazine, reveals that thirty-seven of the fifty correspondents corres-pondents believe that Mr. Dewey's Dew-ey's election would be to the best interest of the nation. Seven correspondents favored Truman, and one Governor Thurmond, of South Carolina. The President's vigorous attack at-tack upon the Republican Congress Con-gress is having some effect in connection with the races for Congress, Correspondents suggest sug-gest that the President may be taking votes from Republican candidates for Representatives and Senators and that there is a fair chance that the Senate will be Democratic by a close margin. |
