Leave Us Lay, Harry So President Truman, as he writes Rep- resentative F. Edward Hebert of Louisiana, feels that North Carolina contributed to the new low level reached this year in politics in which he has been gainfully employed since 1906. As a man who knew Tom Pen- dergast and his machine when, we accept Harry S. Truman as knowing politics first- hand; but we'd like to suggest there are some things which he may have overlooked in the North Carolina campaign which he listed among his lows. Senator Willis Smith, who led the forces so displeasing to the President, did not call his opponent an S. O. B. Neither did he accuse the Marines of propagandic talents commensurate with those of Stalin. Nor has he threatened to beat up a dramatic critic or other representative of the work- ing press of the nation or state. Indeed, Senator Smith, however much he may have kicked or bitten in real or imagi- nary clinches, was cheerfully voted for by the President's friend Frank Graham. It is, however, a country in which every native-born boy- or girl-child can properly aspire to be President. But that doesn't mean that each and every one of them could or should grace the position.
