16 Tlit Newi-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Wed., Aug. 31, 1949 Nicely-Greased Truman-Barkley Machine Runs Over All Opposition By PETER EDSON (NEA Washington Correspondent) WASHINGTON (NEA) The democratic national committee neetlng which elected William M. Boyle Jr., at Ita new national chairman, provided a first-class example of how a well-oiled political machine should run. The meeting was called for 10 a.m.. but It didn't begin till near ly 11. None of these things ever starts on time. It makes no dif ference because, when the ma chine is In perfect working order, itcan rush things through so fast tt makes up for lost time. Also, the delay enabled the del egates to wander around and find where they were supposed to sit. During the night, flunkies had tvpewritten the names of the na tional committeemen and com mitteewomen on slips of paper. These were pasted on the backs of the chairs. Some of the labels, it was no ticed, had names of states ou OP"1 bread makes good school sandwiches better bread makes crisp, tasty toast for healthful breakfasts vtr ...yi f iLs f. -a , - .7 ' SCHOOL FOR DIVERS Students of the Sptrlinc School of Deep Sea Diving attend s cuss session in Lot Anccies Harbor v.

Alabama, Louisi ana, Mississippi and South Caro lina. How could this be? Had they all died? Had that hurri cane hit them? No, they had Just all been run over by the macnine. ine uemocranc, iru-man-Barkley machine. This ma chine didn't want the Dixlecrat committeemen from those states included for this election, so it just left their names off their chairs. Replies Precede Questions. When the meeting was finally called to order and the roll was called as the first order of busi ness, the names of the states whose committeemen were not wanted were merely skipped. Louisiana and Missis;ipl were practically read right out of the party. This is what Is supposed to be the democratic process full, free, open and fair elections by representatives of the pee-pul. A snort time ago, a marvelous new electronic brain and calcu lating machine was unveiled at Department of Agriculture. In seconds, it could solve compli cate ' problems that would take the human brain years. But this Democratic party ma-! chine had that scientific gadget beat a mile. Why, this Demo cratic machine even turned out the answers before it knew what , the problem was. j for instance, retiring lNatlon.il Chairman J. Howard McGrath appointed some committees. A Committee on Credentials, for In-1 stance: Chairman, Frank Mc-; Hale of Indiana, David Lawrence of Pennsylvania, Jonathan Dan iels of North Carolina, and so on. The strange thing was that al- thouRh this committee was ap pointed right there before your eyes, It had already been in ses sion lor 12 hours. 11 wound up Its business at 3 a.m. on the morn ing of the full national commit tee meeting, with all Its worn done. Not even an electronic brain could beat that. Boot For Dlxieorats What this machine committee did was simply to kick out those Dixlecrat national committee men who hadn't supported tlv; campaign of President Truman In the last election. Ousted were Marion Rushton of Alabama, Wil liam H. Talbot of Louisiana, J. B. Snider and Mrs. Hermes Gau tier of Mississippi, J. Strom Thurmond and Mrs. Albert Ag new of South Carolina. Retiring Chairman McGrath ruled that national committee men were officers of the Demo cratic National Convention, hold ing four-year terms between con ventions. He said there was no rule which compelled the nation al committee to follow the rec ommendations of the states as to who its member! should be. T-U I 1 ...UI.U 1 1. - lilt imai lunatic willi.ll II1C Democratic machine performed was in electing Bill Boyle of Mis- J souri as the new chairman to succeed Senator now Attorney General McGrath. Before Boyle had even been nominated, the ! machine had turned out a five- j page biography on him. . The instant Boyle had been unanimously elected, Redding's brought around couies of his 2.. 000-word acceptance speech. Sam said with a smile It was Just a j coincidence he had it ready. You 1 can't ask for slicker machine work than that EUGENE TAKES PRISONER State Police Sgt. Lyle Harrell reported the arrest of Robert Keles Johnston, 28, Franklin, Penn., wanted by authorities at Eugene on a charge of contrib uting to the- delinquency of a minor. Booked at the Douglas county Jail, he has rince been re leased to the state police to be taken to Eugene. Mrs. Roosevelt Values Facts Obtained In Contact With Red Youth Congress NEW YORK, Aug. 31. UP) Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said Monday she knew for a long time that the American Youth congress followed the communist line but worked with It Just the same. Her purpose in doing so, she wrote In McCall's magazine, was to change the organization's course. The former first lady said the experience "was of Infinite value to me in understanding some of the tactics I have had to grapple with in the United Nations." Mrs. Roosevelt's article was the fourth Installment of a new series of memoirs. Of the depression-born AYC, she said: "I had great sympathy for these young people, even though they annoyed me. In that critical pe riod, growing up was much more difficult than it had been at any previous time any of us could re member. I have never felt the slightest bitterness toward any of them and, as a matter of fact, I am extremely grateful for my ex perience with them. "I learned what communist tac tics are. I know how infiltration of an organization is accomplish ed. I understand how communists get themselves Into positions of importance. I understand all their methods of objection and delay, the effort to tire out the rest of the group, then carry the vote when all their opponents have gone home. These tactics are all familiar to me. I know, too, that no defeat Is final "In fact. I think my work with the American Youth congress wai of Infinite value to me in un derstanding some of the tactics I have had to grapple with n United Nations."
