...whom Johnson put the bite were longtime Democrats; some were strong for one plank or another in Harry Truman's platform; some simply found it good business to be on good terms with the Administration (as others were supporting the G.O.P. for the same reason). Whatever their motives, Harry Truman-who puts great store by such things-has reason to be specially grateful to the following...
...year-old Ralph Bunche did not mention his most compelling reason. As an Assistant Secretary of State he would be one of the top Government officials in Washington. But as a Negro, he would be barred from most restaurants, hotels and clubs in Washington. Bunche had gotten his fill of Washington before (as a specialist in OSS and in a State Department desk job).

Perhaps the most important reason for the current failure of the plan is the limited range of participating stores in the area of the Square. The success of the Purchase Card depends upon its local showing; the present nine member stores around the Square form a good nucleus, but the variety of goods, services, and price levels they cover is not wide enough to make the plan sell. In the minds of many students, the present Purchase Card System is merely an ineffective duplication of the Coop...
