The death of President Franklin
Delano Moose volt shocked the people
of this country and of the world.
His passing will completely alter the
political situation and create* confu
sion in the efforts of the democratic
nations to achieve an effective or- 1
gaiiizatioii for world peace.

Pre-ident Truman to note this fact.
Insofar a- the future of Demo
cratic party is .concerned, the pass
ing of .Mr. Riiosevelt completely aI -
tors the political situation. There
were many probabilities in line for
consideration in P.I4S, hut this is no
longer true. The part,' will have to
stand on the record of President
Truman, who is likely to secure a
renomination in accordance with the
almost invariable custom of the past.
Henry A. Wallace and other Demo
cratic probabilities face an entirely
different prospect. They can no
iojiger re.isonahly expect to be the
standard-bearer of their party in

lapse of the party under the leader

the Health Department reporting 18

Deaths among the colored race
during the month also led white

It's a Fact !
Thi* year there are to be eely two War
Loans.
But —in these two loena we must lend
Uncle Sam just about as much money as
we did last year in threw.
That won’t be easy.
But it’ll be a lot easier if you’ll do the
same thing that 27 million Americans in
the Payroll Savings Plan are doing.
Right now they’re stepping up their
allotments saving extra money so that
they can spread their War Bond buying
over more pay checks.

If you’re wise—and anxious to help your
cc untry finish this thing right—you’ll start
saving now for the first of 1945’a two big
War Loans.
This way you can set aside enough to fill
your quota for the 7th War Loan which
starts next month —almost before it gets
under way.
It means sacrifice.
