Scott, Truman Indicate They » Will Dominate By Lynn Nlsbet RALEIGH, Dec. 7—President Truman and Governor-elect Scott are manifesting a strong pur pose to attempt more complete control over governmental af fairs than any of their predeces sors, acordcing to a Capitol Square observer who has been I watching their actions. * The president told his first White House press conference af ter the election that so long as he is President the German car tels will not be restored to pow er over chemical and industrial development. At ceremonies on the desk of the battleship Missouri, "Big Mo," at Hampton Roads on Sat „r.Aav th* nresident is auoted I as saying: "Some smart aleck who poses as a spokesman for the Navy has stated the Mis souri will be taken out of com mission. The Missouri will not be taken out of commission. That is as emphatic as I can make it. I speak as President of the Unit ed States. You can make that as strong as you want to." As for Governor-elect Scott he .has several times used the up- ! bright personal pronoun in con- ' nection with the state ad- ; ministration program. More sig- \ nificant than that, according to the anonymously quoted observ er, are the letters he has written to Vance Baise, chief highway engineer and Charles Flack, chief clerk to the utilities commis sion asking for their resignations as of the date of his inaugura tion. Since selection of these of ficials is not a prerogative of the governor and their appoint ment does not—theoretically and technically—require his ap proval, the letters are taken to indicate purpose to control sub ordinate departmental person Other governors have done j that to some extent, Cherry per haps less than any recent chief I .executive, but they have accom- j * plishçd their purpose without ad- j vance notice of intent. President Roosevelt exerted more influence than any predecessor on all phass of government administra tion, even down to minor bur eaus and commissions, but he also gained his objective without advance ballyhoo. Scott Lnd Tru man are letting it be known they expect to run things during their ^ terms.

For this stunning streamliner has'fresh styling that begins deep inside fhe car with a recessed floor which is th* key to the "step-down" design—the /exciting idea that opens up new opportunities for genuinely beautiful lines! / Yes, for years it has been widely known that the lower a car can be b£ilt, the more beautiful it will be» the better it will ride and handle. ·«* whenever men have fought to create the ideal in low-built mptor cars, without lowering the interior floof, they've had to keep top lines high to ρηΒββτνβ inside head room, or reduce inside roominess to get top lines down—an unsatisfactory com promise in either case. Αοβ even with compromises, no car has eter matched the glamorously low silhou ette Hudson brings you today! This is because Hudson—and Hudson alone—has a recessed floor in an exclusive, all steel Monobilt body-and-frame* which makes it possible to build the lowest car on the highway—just five feet from ground to top—but with more head room than in any mass-produced car built today! 77»· mxeiting, more than skin-deep beauty of the New Hudson is the natural result of this basic "step-down" construction, which is so right it frees the designer of the need for makeshifts in styling.** We cordially invite you to see and drive the New Hudson.
