says “As far as its chances are concerned, I would say that a third party led by Wallace, or for that matter, led by anyone else at this particular time, hasn't a ghost of a chance of winning the presidential election.
“Wallace himself made practically that same statement a little more than a year ago.
LITTLE SUCCESS “In American national politics third party movements are conspicuously and monotonously unsuccessful with the notable exception of the Republican party which was originally a third party.’’
Dr. Rodee paused—"I think that the effect of Wallace’s candidacy will be to draw away some support from the more liberal wing of the Democratic party. Organized labor seems to be cold-shouldering him. Wallace's problem is further complicated by the difficulty of the third party getting on the ballot in most states.'’

An opportunity to hear and take part in a discussion of universal military training will be afforded | Trojans at an all-University forum i sponsored by Trovets. CAI. and tihe YWCA to be held Thursday noon in Bovard auditorium.
Speaker lor the affirmative will be Dr. Joseph M. Applegate, minister of the Figueroa Christian church, and a colonel in the army chaplain corps during World War IL Dr. Applegate, who served overseas and spent more than four years in military service, recently was an observer at the army’s UMT training experiment at Ft.

Moderator will be Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman, associate professor of political science and head of the political science department.
After tihe two speakers have finished. tihe forum will be thrown open to discussion and questions from the audience.
Dr. Robert B. Pettengill will be moderator at an informal discussion at 3 pjn. Thursday in 309 Fridge hall on the same subject. All intrested students are invited to attend.
many conservatives in the party are happy to lose the Wallace wring.
“The Republicans may profit from their opponents’ split,” he said, “unless they become reckless to the point of nominating candidates who will evoke a hostile protest vote, I and a number of Republican can- , didates could do just that, very j successfully.”
COULD HELP Arnold Fletcher, lecturer in gen- j eral studies, says: “I think Wallace j has as much chance of being president in 1948 as Shirley Temple has of playing right tackle for the Notre Dame team next year.”
James Sibert. teaching assistant, says: “If the third party gets on the ballot, the Democratic party will split on national issues and insure a Republican victory.”
Conrad Hawkins, teaching assistant: “A strong third party movement could prove highly beneficial in the local political scene. For in-| stance, by giving support to liberal candidates.’’
W. B. Sanders, lecturer in general studies: “Wallace, if Le represents a third party in the coming presidential election, has little chance of being elected due to the fact that he has become tarnished with Moscow red paint and is endorsed by too many so-called Communist labor leaders, such as Bridges of the CIO Longshoremen’s union. Therefore, those people who are desirous of not being called fellow-travelers will shy away from Wallace and his third party.’’
