LOUIS RE1ZENSTEIN, our telegraph editor, finds fault
with Republican Nominee Tom Dewey's mustache. Just
why he should be disturbed by such a little thing is more
than we can understand, but he has even referred to it
slightingly in his own "Levity-Fact-Rant" department. Now
if it was the editor's Christmas necktie to which he was
allergic, there might be reason for criticism. This hot
weather has enabled us to shed the nacktie in question and
thus avoid the comments which its assortments of colors
generally produce. But tastes vary in neck ware as well as
facial adornments; hence the
Tom Dewey's mustache.
James Thrasher, one of our syndicated Washington ob
servers, has sized up the situation to a gnat's whisker; so
today we give you his opinion :
Soebody figured out the other day that Thomas E.
Dewey, if elected, would be the first mustached president in
32 years. That is interesting as far as it goes, but it doesn't
go far enough. After all, the subject of whiskers in the
White House is not one to be dismissed casually. So. without
splitting hairs over the matter, we propose to give you a
somewhat fuller exploration and documentation.
In the first place, it should be noted that Mr. Dewey's
mustache is quite in the tradition of his party. For the first
presidential whiskers came to the White -House on the
chin of the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln.
Before that, the people of the United States had elected
smooth-faced presidents with monotonous regularity for 72
years, from Washington to Buchanan. (Sideburns don't
count in our statistics.)
Since Lincoln there have been a dozen Republican presi
dents, and three different Democratic incumbents. And a
non-partisan total shows that the smooth-face chief execu
tives are in the minority 7 to 8.
In fact, until Woodrow Wilson started the clean-shaven
vogue in 1912, whiskers of assorted sizes and colors had
been a familiar sight at KiOO I'ennsylvania avenue except)
in the administrations of Andrew Johnson and William
McKinley. . 1
There's no dodging the fact that whiskers are pretty much :
of a Republican prerogative. Grover Cleveland was the first
and only Democrat of the post-Lincoln period who didn't
give the barber carte blanche. He also was the first presi
dent to confine himsolf to a mustache. Of the 13 Republi
cans, eight were either strangers to the razor or had only a ;
scraping acquaintance.
As to styles, the presidential whiskers may be classified
thus chin whiskers, Lincoln; full beards, Grant, Hayes,
Garfield, Harrison; mustaches, Cleveland, Theodore Roose
velt, Taft. The mustaches might be subdivided as follows
handlebar, Cleveland and Taft; straggly, Roosevelt.
That leaves Chester A. Arthur unaccounted for. He
sported the fanciest spinach of them all the shaved chin
style also effected by General Burnside, Emperor Franz
Josef of Austria and the creator of Swamp Root Tonic.
Beards fingured in two close elections and broke even.
Bearded Rutherford B. Hayes beat smooth-shaven Samuel J.
Tilden by a whisker in the House of Representatives. Bui
the elegant chin adornment
couldn't save his early lead over
That's all. We just thought
Even the president apparently can't remember all of his
executive orders and decrees. The presidnt violated execu
tive order 9089, prohibiting telegrams of felicitation or con
gratulation during the war period, when he sent a wire
of congratulation to Vice-Presidential Nominee Harry S.
Truman. If the president can make the laws, he can break

Camp Adair Land
Danger Cited By
Senator Cordon
PORTLAND, July 31 (API
Prospective purchasers of 45,000
acres of Camp Adair land are
warned by U. S. Sen. Guy Cordon
to stay off until the army clears
the area of some ' 2,000 unex-
ploded artillery shells.
This will take two months, he
estimated, adding that the shells
may explode without contact or
through temperature changes.
The Reconstruction Finance
corporation meanwhile prepared
letters offering repurchase prior
ity to former owners of the con
demned farm and range lands
that the army announced recent
ly it no longer needs.
Land the original owners do
not wish to take back at a fair
price based on current values less
damage caused by destruction of
tences, gunfire and motor traffic i
probably will be divided into fam-
Uy-slze farms and offered for sale ;
at a fixed price, said William
Kennedy, head of the Portland
office of the RFC.
Senator Cordon announced lie 1
will propose legislation at the :
next session of congress insuring :
veterans of this war second pref-
crence in purchasing the Camp i
Adair lands. i
Both the senator and Kennedx '
expressed opininons that the 11,-
000 acres on which barracks and
other buildings stand will not be
sold during the war and may be
converted into a rehabilitation
center.
