States Rights Democrats Form in Alabama to Oppose Truman
Alabama anti Truman Democrats formed a permanent group in Birmingham to oppose President Truman's civil rights program now and in future years. Horace Wilkinson said the organization will carry out southern Democrats' wishes beyond 1948 and pledge to oppose Truman and any Democratic nominee who supports civil rights while insisting on a strong states rights plank. The group adopted actions from the Jackson Mississippi meeting and warned the national convention to avoid policies contrary to state rights.

Poor and Dishonest At Start Still Poor
New York writer HAL BOYLE profiles Joseph Weil known as the Yellow Kid a Chicago born con artist who fleeced the public of about 8 million dollars over five decades. He sold a tapeworm cure and engaged in fake stock deals while boasting that victims shared a common greed. Weil recounts swindles on bankers and others, pledging reform yet remaining unmoved by jail terms or the lure of legitimate business. He suggests harsher laws to deter fraud and notes he now works as a telephone solicitor for charity while admitting he keeps funds separate.
