Lined up on one slfie is the old
guard leadership which opposes
urhftt It ralle "henHAtit rnvprn.
ment." It is barking U.S. Rep,
John C. Kunkel, 52.
On the other side is the element
which insists the party should
break loose from Ita traditional
policies and stand for something
that will appeal to "the average
guy." It is behind Gov, James H.
Duff.
Kunkel has represented is three
county central Pennsylvania dis
trict in the House for 12 years.
Duff advanced to the governor
ship after being attorney general in
the cabinet of former Governor
Edward Martin, now a U.S. sena
tor. In the background but actively
supporting Kunkel are former U.S.
Senator Joseph K. Grundy, long a
potent force in Republican poli
tics, and a top Grundy lieutenant,
G. Mason Owlett, Republican na
tional committeeman and president
of the Pennsylvania manufacturers
association. Martin also has lined
up with Grundy.
Split Started In 1941
The party split first came out in
the open at the 1948 Republican na
tional convention, where the Grun
dy group backed Gov. Dewey and
Duff opposed the New Yorker.
Duff has pegged his campaign on
what he calls "Grundy-Owlettism."
He saya if that faction la not re
jected at the primary, the Demo
crats will win in the November
election. He defines "Grundy-Owlettism"
aa "government by a few.

By contrast. Duff says his ad
ministration aa governor haa con'
sidcred the needs of "the average
citizen" in its huge improvement
program, which included $187,000,-
000 in construction projects on a
borrow-and-build basis. Duff's op
position has criticized that program
aa "deficit spending.
Duff, in outlining his philosophy
of government, opposes "the in
creasing encroachment of govern
ment on the rights of the indivi
dual," but saya there must be a
clearer understanding of the prob
lems of "the average guy.
"We must have a clear realiza
tion that many of those problems
can only be solved and met by
government," he said in a cam
paign statement.
Kunkel cans lor a snowaown on
spending policies of the Democratic
administration in Washington.
Instead of aeeking means of
getting back to sound currency and
balanced finances," Kunkel says,
"the government is plunging deep
er into deficit-financing and rubber
dollars."
Should Duff win the senatorial
nomination, Kunkel adds, there
would be "no issue based on prin
ciple" between him and U.S. Sen
ator Francis J. Myers, unopposed
Democratic candidate for renom
ination on a platform of support
of President Truman's "fair deal"
program.
"It is a case of Duff offering 50
cents with Myers offering a dol
lar." Kunkel says.

Ah, To Have Lived In 1840: The
National Debt Was 21 c Per Capita
By ARTHUR EDSON
WASHINGTON (JP -Ah, but it
wis great to be alive in 1840.
That was the year the national
debt almost fizzled out, and be
came a mere 21 cents per capita.
Compare this with the present,
when it has skyrocketed to 11,
698 08, and you'll see bow times
have changed.
This fiscal intelligence comes to
us from a booklet put out by the
Senate committee on executive ex
penditures. The title of the book
let: "Increased Cost of the Fed
eral Government."
It contains a? lot of interesting
figures.
Such as the fact that not until
the Civil war did the per capita
debt amount to much. In 1865 it
climbed to $73.01. Then it dropped
down to around $12 to $1$ per
each and stayed there to World
War I.
This set Us off, and we've never
been the same aince. It went up
to $242.52, in 1919; dwindled to
$131.51, in 1930, and then began
creeping up again.
World War II lit the fuse, and
the debt went sky high. The peak
waa 1946, when it waa $1,907.32 for
each man, woman and child.
Senator McClellan (D-Ark), who
heads the expenditures committee,
says he thinks the debt ought to
be lowered. And he throws in
some quotes to back his stand.
For instance. George Washing
ton said in his farewell address:
the race. The Grundy-Owlett wing
endorsed Jay Cooke, Philadelphia
investment banker.
Cooke was Pennsylvania mana
ger of Harold E. Stassen's cam-
I paign for the Republican presiden
tial nomination in 1948. stassen.
now president of the University of
Pennsylvania, has maintained a
hands-off policy in the primary
fight.
"As t very Important source of
strength and security, cherish pub
lic credit."
And Franklin D. Roosevelt, cam
paigning in 1932, said:
"If a nation is living within its
income, its credit is good. If in
some crisis it lives beyond ita in
come for a year or two. it can us
ually borrow temporarily on rea
sonable terms.
"But if, like the spendthrift, t
throws discretion to the winds, is
willing to make no sacrifice at all
in spending, extends its taxing up
to the limit of the people's power
to pay, and continues to pile up
deficits, it is on the road to bank
ruptcy." Well, this Is no place to argue
how much debt is too much. But
I thought you might be interested
in that taxpayer of 1840, the one
with the 21-cent per capita na
tional debt.
Was he happy?
Surprisingly, the answer Is no.
Martin Van Buren was presi
dent in those days, and the "World
Almanac" saya this in his bio
graphy: "He advocated tariff for revenue
only and opposed internal im
provements at national expense.
His refusal to spend land reve
nues led to bis defeat by Harrison
in 1840."
We taxpayers are hard to please.

feel the gauge of the bumper stock
they're made of and you know you've got
stout protection here.
But then figure:
I Iere are nine bumper guards (not count
ing the two that hold the parking lights)
so that's one extra item you needn't buy.
And each is individually replaceable if
damage should occur you have only a
simple part or two to replace, instead of
a complete, cast-metal grille.
Thus this stunning new design freshest
front-end style note on the highways
protects your pockctbook as well as your
car.
Avoids costly repair bills as it avoids
"locking horns" with the car ahead. Cuts
upkeep as it cuts inches from the car's
total length, thus making parking and
garaging easier.

forefront. A design that sets the coming
style note avoids many a tangle with the
car ahead makes handling easier and
costs less to repair.
And note that parking-light lenses, made
of plastic and set deep in recessed sockets,
are well out of harm's way even when
pushing a stalled car.
You'll find this bold front end only on
Buick as you'll find Fireball power,
Buick's wonderful ride, Dynaflow Drive,
