And above all else, Harry Truman wants a Democrat to win the White House...
Your June 4 story misrepresents the Des Moines Register's coverage of news about race discrimination in Iowa. I did not tell Grover Hall of the Montgomery Advertiser that the problem of race discrimination "does not exist" in Iowa. In commenting on Hall's barbs at the Northern press, I said that our problem in Iowa admittedly was smaller than his in Alabama, but that we had covered thoroughly, as important news, race discrimination in this state.

Des Moines's Soth* replied that the problem simply does not exist. But after he got home, Editor Soth...
...cameras, Roberts has performed his job with an efficiency deadly to 1) opponents and 2) baseball records. In his third major-league season he won 20 games-a record no other Philly had even flirted with since the hard-drinking days of the late great Grover Cleveland Alexander. Now, six years later, he has yet to fall back below the 20-game mark.* No major-leaguer has done so well since the days (1925-33) of the Philadelphia Athletics' Lefty Grove...
