ST etinan Puts on A ‘Cocky Show,’ ‘Sheds Timidity

New Self-Assurance, Evident Since 1948, Rapidly Increasing

By The Scripps-Howard Newspapérs WASHINGTON, Feb. 18—“Little man” in the White

House—once timid about being Vice President—turned

in his cockiest performance this week. Change has hot been sudden, but new self-assurance,

Situation here

Truman's fifth year as President is alos over, but he has yet to get through Congress most of the platform

on which he won re-election.

Health, labor, farm, tax and civil rights programs are stalled. His foreign policies have displeased leaders of both parties. Administration personnel have been—and are—under heavy fire.

But here's the record:

The Harry Truman of 1945-1948 praised Franklin D.-Roose-"

velt often, profusely. In this

week's speech before . Jefferson- >

Jackson Day dinner, “biggest in history of the world,” Mr.

Truman didn't mention Mr, -

Roosevelt. The 1945 Truman, to correspondents day after he was sworn in: “Boys, if you ever pray for me now.” The 1950 Truman, at press conference this week, told reporters he is a free agent, will see whom he pleases, say what he pleases, will not be censored by anyone. Newspapermen here hadn't heard anything like it, from other Presidents. Many oldtimers in both parties are sure President Truman intends to run again, isn't even thinking of another Democratic candidate. California's George Luckey, his friend and 1948 backer, talked with Mr. Truman this week, said he could be induced

Eye British Election

BRITISH ELECTION next Thursday may be decided by weather. Bad weather will hurt Labor’government’s chances. Poll-takers play it safe—remembering U. S. 1948 election. One gives Labor 21; per cent lead; second gives Conservatives 215 per cent lead. Another shows two parties even. All polls show 12 per cent of voters

undecided. These will tip the

cales.

Conservatives are ending

Conservatives also make hay over gasoline ration allowance. Strongest single vote-getter for Labor government is health plan. Workingmen’'s wives also sold on food subsidies, on family allowance for children under 16, and other phases of welfare state program. Despite Labor's defense of housing profram this probably is its weakest point.. One thing's sure: If Labor stays in its majority will be much smaller.

Worst Famine in 70 Years Feared

_______ After Flood and Drought Deal Blows |

By GORDON CUMMING (World Copyright, 1950, by United Press) The worst famine in more than 70 years is creeping today

across North-Central China.

Reports filtering through from Communist areas-to Taipef, Formosa, suggest that at least 10 million persons may die in the

next 12 weeks.

maybe -unable-to-help-eoun-ter mass starvation. Two age-old threats to Chinese survival have combined with civil war in the last nine months to wreck much of China's agricultural economy. Early last summer drought spread through China's “Famine Belt” across the provinces of Shantung, Shansi,. Honan and Hopein where more than 100 million people were. Then by late summer and fall cloudbursts and flash

floods washed out much of the -

stunted crops. Arrivals from densely . populated Shantung

roughly 20 per cent of normal. "Rice Lands Flooded

Meanwhile, the Yangtze Valley floods beginning. last June inundated large areas of ricerich Hunan, Hupei, Anhwei and Kiangsu provinces.
