Wallace Cand dature Menaces Election Chance QUEENS & ALHAMBRA Opening Doors To Reactionaries

Washington, Dec. 30. President Truman's chances of election to a White House term of his own are gravely endanger- ed by Mr. Henry Wallace's decision to run for President next year as a communist-sparked Left-wing candidate and the Republican pre- sidential possibilities have brightened corres- pondingly.

Mr. Wallace's move may land a stunning blow on the man who beat him for the Vice-Presidency in 1944 and then kicked him out of his Cabinet a few months after succeeding the late 'Pre- sident Roosevelt.
