If Mr. Wallace should get the same percentage as the late Robert M. _La Follette Sr, who ran on a third party ticket in 1024, his vote would be 12 million, according to Mr. Baldwin, who has more grass-roots political knowledge than the other aides around Wallace headquarters.

I note several cities of Indiana have decided not fo turn their clocks ahead-—a sensible deWhen, during the war the whole country went on Daylight Saving Time, it made little difference except for farmers who complained that their livestock could: not be expected fo change their habits to conform to the clock but: when cities 20 miles apart have one kind of time in one and the other kind in the other it creates confusion that is by no means denrable.

the Italian government dropped the apologetic note it had
assumed in discusshg American assistance that the tide began to turn. Prior to that time, swvhen appeasement thinking and tactics dominated the government's policy, the Communists had had everything their own way.
