Youth Program Inelud.d
Construction plans, which have
been drawn by Charles Polrot
to meet specifications of the
Army, call for a building 30x68
for regular corps work and for
an adjacent building of quonset
type to be used as a youth cent
er. The need for these buildings,
Farias stated la vital as the
youth program of the Salvation
Army under Supt. Claude Bow
den has expanded to such a
degreee that adequate facilities
are necessary. Hie youth center
building will contain gymnasium,
craft rooms and other facilities
pertinent to the program. Frank
C Clark is supervising architect.
"I am indeed happy to head
this campaign," Flegel said, "for
the service rendered by the Sal
vation Army has always had
my highest regard. 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. Flegel an
tlclnated little difficulty in se
curing all necessarv assistance
at he says, "the universal ap
peal of the Salvation ArmV is
such to command enthusiastic
support of Its efforts to serve
the community."

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
