Their service to the youth of Roseburg and Douglas county Is a vital need and it one of the finest meant of teaching good citizenship and social responsibility both so very necessary today. I have little doybt that the citizens of Rose burg will respond generously to this appeal." - Next step In the plana for the campaign will be the selection of key leaders to head the var ious divisions Intn which busi ness will be clatslfied.

Glamor Wanted Well.' that's politic. It isn't necessarily evil or cynical. It's Just the way our political organi zations think and work. At the same time. It Is easy to see why a man like General Eisenhower might recoil from such a bid and all that It stood for. The professional politicians didn't know or care where he stood on many red hot political issues. He was. in effect .a glam or boy. They doubt leu would have wanted him to keep that Bigtime Politicos Assumed Control In Belated Boom for Eisenhower By JAMES THRASHER s The beginning of the Eisenhower-for President boom was heart felt and spontaneous. Scarcely since Washington's time had there been such a surge of popular enthusiasm for a leader. It overrode party lines, and the rigid political machinery within those lines. Most Elsenhower supporters didn't seem to care which ticket the general ran on, so long aa he ran. But General Elsenhower turned down the bid for his own good reasons. It was a graceful, polite refusal, but it was definite. The majority of the general's backers accepted It reluctantly, but also with the conviction that It was honest and sincere. Then came the belated Elsen hower for-Pnesldent boom by the professional politicians. This, too. seemed a sincere and heartfelt bid to General Eisenhower to re consider his refusal. But Ita very sincerity was unflattering. And If there was any doubt remaining in the general's mind, this pro fessional boom must have settled It once and for all. id at Any Priea For the boom was a bid for vic tory at any price. The southern politicians clearly wanted a man who was not committed to a "civil rights" program, though they had scant reason for believ ing that General Eisenhower would dedicate himself to pre serving the present racial-political setup in the south. The bosses from the big north ern cities were aa ohviouslv In terested In self protection. They had been having some disquieting dreams of defeat defeat that would mean loss of seats in na tional and state legislatures, loss of state and local patronage, and consequent loss of personal pow er. In short, the prof essional poli ticians wanted a winner. They may have admired General Elsen hower's record and ability, his personality and his turn of mind. Hut it would be naive to think that they did not want his popu larity xiiost of all, a popularity that promised to sweep all opposi tion before It. If General MacArthur or Ad miral Nlmlt or some other war hero had excited a similar popu lar enthusiasm, they certainly would have gone for any one of role If he had consented to run until victory was won. But as It Is, General Elsenhow er won't have to make any dealt. He won't have to walk a tight. rope in an effort to please the extreme rights and lefts now In cluded in ti.a Democratic party. Such a performance would be a challenge and a pleasure aa well as a necessity to a man who it a politician by Instinct as well aa hy training. We would . doubt that General Eisenhower Is that kind of an instinctive politician. Certainly he is not trained in the business of politics. Perhaps the general will con sent to run for president tome day. If he does it l certain that he and the politicians will know better what to expect from each other than thev do now. In the meantime It is our guess that General Eisenhower la glad to be out of It A "yes" from him might have meant victory, but It also would have meant for him a long series of headaches and dis llluslonmenta. 1 Of all mineral, salt ll the most familiar.
