LEADING TO SUICIDE
We have previously expressed in this column the opin
ion that the political groundswell behind the candidacy of
r:,..! RiAnhower is. in fact, a repudiation of both major
political parties.
Disregarding all evidence, the Republican Old Guard
apparently is determined to put the party above the wishes
of the people. It has its steamroller in high gear and is
ruthlessly crushing opposition. It is using the time-worn
tactics of machine politics in a determination to beat down
the amateur upstarts who dare challenge the rule of the
greybeards. ' .
This blind disregard of popular opinion, the determina
tion to retain control by fair means or foul, and the vio
lation of all rules of fair play, could well result in suicide
of the Republican party.
More and more people in recent years have separated
themselves from the major parties and have registered as
Independents. We believe it is safe to assume that even
among those who still retain registered affiliation with ei
ther of the parties large numbers actually follow the inde.
pendent trend in the voting booth.
Opinion polls show that among strictly faithful Repub
lican' voters the Taft-Eisenhower race is fairly even. But
registered Republicans represent only about 35 per cent of
the total vote. Registered Democrats represent 45 per cent
of the national total. This leaves 20 per cent of the voters
as Independents and miscellaneous.
Independents Hold Balance Of Power
If we take into consideration the number of actual In
dependents who still retain registration with one or the
other of the two major parties, we can estimate that the
true independent vote is around 40 to 50 per cent of the
national total.
Here is the balance of power in any national election.
These voters will not follow party .lines. They vote for the
candidate rather than the party. This year, we believe,
this independent vote ie larger than ever before and that
there exists a tremendous groundswell ot distrust and dis
like of both party organizations. That is why General Ike,
who has had no connection with politics in the past, is pres
ently so popular, and has such a, tremendous following
among independent voters. .
If the Old Guard continues its stubborn opposition, in
sisting upon nominating a candidate who will play ball with
party leadership, subjecting himself to discipline, it is quite
possible that the election will be lost to the G.O.P., and
that a revolution within the party will result.
The tactics of the Taft crowd only add to the general
distrust. Corruption existed within the Republican party
after it had held power too long, just as corruption and
graft have become rampant in the Democratic administra
tion following long tenure. The same leaders who controll
ed the Republican party in the old days, are determined
to retain their power at all costs. By their very tactics of
stealing delegations, stacking the convention with commit
tees favorable to their cause, and stifling competition, they
indicate little moral honesty. Could clean administration
be expected from such leadership?
Prospect's For A Dark Horse
We believe the people of this country want a clean, hon
est government. We know a clean administration is not to
be expected from the Socialist crowd now in office. We
would be suspicious of the Old Guard, particularly consid
ering the steamroller tactics now being used. The excuse,
of course, can be made that anything is fair in love, war
or politics. But dishonesty and obliquity can lead only to
suspicion of moral integrity.
Political observers are talking more and more, of the
probability of a Republican dark horse nomination. Meth
ods used by the Taft forces are certain to alienate the Ei
senhower crowd. On the other hand, it grows increasingly
improbable that the G.O.P. machine will yield to Eisen
hower. Should a deadlock occur, a compromise candidate
would Have a couple of strikes on him as he came to bat,
due to resentment from supporters in each camp.
In any event, it appears to us that the G.O.P. Old
Guard is doing irrepnrablo damage to the party and is,
perhaps, leading to party suicide.

JfKYou Aren't Playing With Children,' You Know?
Fulton Lewis Jr.
WASHINGTON One of the most cogent questions in
the Republican party problem book today is whether Senator
William Knowland of California could legally run as both a
senatorial and a vice presidential candidate.
Knowland's smashing 1,675,000.
vote majority in the California
primary placed him at tha top of
the vice presidential list. There
are other factors making Know
land acceptable as a running mate
for either Taft or Eisenhower, but
his vote-getUng qualities in Cali
fornia have focused the hot eyes
of GOP politicians squarely upon
him. Governor Earl Warren's
stock was greatly ballyhooed in
1950 when he beat Jimmy Roose
velt for the governorship by a
majority of 1,127,000.
California politician! say that
state laws do not cover the legal
ity of a candidate having his name
on the ballot both for Congress
and vice president. They point out
that the only politician to do it in
recent history, and get away with
it, was former Democratic Vice
President John Nance Garner, the
late President Roosevelt's two
term running.mate.
Garner was In the House of Rep
resentatives when he and Roose
velt first ran in 1932. No one ap
parently questioned the fact that
Garner also was running for re
election to the House.
But Texas, with Its one-pa:-ty
system, is somewhat different
from California. Knowland, how
ever, captured both the Democrat
ic and Republican senatorial nom
inations in California on June 3
something only one other Call
fornian, the late Hiram Johnson,
ever was able to do.
If California Republicans do
nted an interpretation of state
laws in the event Knowland gets
the GOP vice presidential nomi
nation, they are In trouble. The
attorney general ot California Is
a Democrat, Edmund (Pat)
Brown. The decision would be in
his hands.
Brown was the only Democrat
elected to a major office in Cali
fornia in 1950. Since then his pop
ularity has dwindled. He was thor
oughly trounced last week as head
of the slate of anti-Kcfauver dele
gates to the Democratic conven.
tion in July. Brown blames some
of his lacing on the fact that he
was, for party reasons, forced to
align himself closely with Presi
dent Truman. Since Korea the
President has been persona non
grata on the West Coast.
The decision about Knowland's
eligibility as a vice presidential
candidate, nevertheless, remains
in Brown's hands, and It would be
a political miracle If he avoided
an adverse decision, assuming
there was a question of Interpreta
tion in a remote California law.
It can be said with reasonable
assurance that if ',uch a law exists,
Brown will find it.
A Knowland candidacy Is ap
pealing to Eisenhower Republi
cans. Tha general gained many
West Coast followers wiien, In his
first press conference, he praised
Gen. Douglas MacArthur and indi
cated that he would certainly find
a plac for MacArthur if elected
to the presidency.
Knowland Is a supporter of Mac
Arthur. Knowland also, In a vig
orous campaign for the senatorial
nomination, attacked Truman's
foreign policy, particularly as It
pertains to the Far East.
Eisenhower admits that he
knows little about Far Eastern
affairs. Knowland knows a great
deal, and the tag, "Senator from
Formosa," hung on him by left
wing Democrats, may boomerang
on his critics. The GOP, in the
event of Eisenhower's nomination,
will be happy to have a Far East
ern expert on the ticket.
In lesser degree, the same ap
plies to Taft. He has, In general,
let Knowland handle Asia in the
Senate while he concentrated on
Europe, He also is close to Mac
Arthur. Geographically a Knowland can
didacy would be advisable. Both
Taft and Eisenhower claim Mid
west birthplaces, although in the
case of the general he is political
ly aligned with the East Coast.
A Far Western running mate
would make good political sense
for either of the two leading con
tenders. Knowland is young (44), aggres.
sive and smart. Warren, for prac
tical political purposes, is through
in his home state. He is eager
for a spot on the Supreme Court
bench or at least the attorney
generalship. To get such a federal
post in event of a GOP victory
in November, Warren may have
to support Knowland for the job,
he, Warren, lo Dewey's run
ning mate in 1948.

Casting Begins
For Shakespeare
Festival Roles
ASHLAND The festival spirit
strikes the Rogue river valley in
earnest this week, as the van
guard of some 100 young actors,
actresses and musicians from 20
states arrived in Ashland for au
ditions for the 12th annual Oregon
Shakespearean festival roles on
Monday and Tuesday, June 16 and
17. Casting will be an all-night
job for the four play directors on
Tuesday, and rehearsals will be
gin on Wednesday, June 18.
Although the festival company
will be In rehearsal every after
noon and evening until opening,
the festival players will still find
time for a varied social life spon
sored by friends ot the festival in
Ashland and nearby communities,
beginning with the annual picnic
for company and townspeople
sponsored by the board of direc
tors of the festival association on
June 18.
Productions at the festival this
year are "The Tempest," "Henrv
V," "Much Ado About Nothing,"
and "Julius Caesar". They will be
played in rotation In that order,
with a different play every eve
ning including Sundays. August
29 will be devoted to an entire
evening of Elizabethan music.
The board of directors of the
association said that advance
sales were expected to be high
this year, with a season of pop.
ular plays and the new music pro
gram as drawing cards. Since the
festival was resumed in 1947, an
increase in attendance of at least
25 per cent ha3 been marked up
each year, and 1952 was expected
to be no exception.
Some 12,000 pcapia visited the
festival in 1951.

High Court Will
Rule In School
Segregation Case
WASHINGTON Ifl The Su
preme Court Monday agreed to
say whether segregation of white
and Negro children In elementary
public schools should be outlawr
The court granted hearings on
two appeals by Negro parents who
claim segregation Is a "stigmatiz
ing badge of inferiority" wfcich has
a bad effect upon their children.
They contend segregation therefore
violates the constitutional guaran
tee of equal protection of the laws.
The appeals contest the validity
of segregation only In schools in
Topeka, Kans., and Clarendon
County, S. C. However, the out
come of the cases will affect pub
lie school segregation generally.
Racial Issue Decided
Among other actions Monday
before it recessed- until fall, the
high court: .
Held 6-10 that the Railway Labor
Act bars unions "from using their
position and power to destroy col
ored workers' jobs In order to be
stow them on white workers" and
that federal courts must issue In
junctions to "protect those threat
ened by such an unlawful use of
power."
The tribunal found that an agree
ment between the Brotherhood tl
Railroad Trainmen and the St.
Louis Kan Francisco Railway
threatened Negro train porters
"with loss of their jobs because
they are not white and for no
other reason."
Set aside while leaving the
door open to a new trial the
conviction of three Seattle men on
charges of using an unlicensed ra
dio transmitter to trick horse race
bookies out of a large sum of
money.
The case turned on the rights of
Federal Communications Commis
sion Investigators who lacked a
search warrent to seize the trans
mitter from an automobile parked
In a public garage. The court split
6 to 3 in agreeing to a government
request to order the convictions
set aside because of an error in
the case. But it specified Its ac
tion should not preclude a new
trial.
Too Late To Bomb
Manchuria, Taft
And Ike Agree
By Tha Atteciattd Prats
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Sen. Robert A. Taft agreed Thurs
day it would be impractical now to
bomb Communist bases in Man
churia. The two top contenders for tha
Republican presidential nomina
tion expressed the view in New
York, Taft in an interview for
radio and Eisenhower at a meet
ing with New Jersey delegates to
the GOP national convention.
Taft said bombing the Red bases
beyond Korea would have worked
a year ago but that Commu
nists have since built up too much
strength.
Eisenhower said the U.S. and
Allied forces would have to be
greatly strengthened "before we
embark on anything like that."
One New Jerseyan also wanted
to know the general'! feelings
about the steel strike.
"I thought the seizure of the
steel mills was illegal but three
judges thought otherwise," he re
plied, referring to the six to three
Supreme Court decision ruling the
seizure unconstitutional.
Would he invoke the Taft-Hartley
law? some asked.
"It I had to do it, I would invoke
it," he rep'icd. "The United States
is involved."

mall boy, or, even a middle-sized
boy, Ii to derive GOOD from the
doing of tasks such as mowing
lawns, he must be taught to do
them WELL, If you want the doing
of useful work at regular Inter

acter, you can't just tell him the
mower is in the garage and go
and get.it and when I come home
at lunch time I want the yard
mowed and the edges clipped and
that's that.
It just doesn't work that way. If

well, and after that he must be
Inspired with pride in a JOB
WELL DONE. That wiU take work

the task of teaching him to do
his job well, I expect you'll find
he u smrk on the job.
Anyway, if more boys ARE
mowing lawns and doing other
useful tasks around their homes
this spring, I hope it is because
more parents are realizing the
SUPREME importance of finding
useful and constructive work for
their children to do.
I'm certain that more young

I happened to be in a gathering
the other day where the subject
of the RICH came up. I don't
mean just the ordinary well-to-do
people of average not-too-big
communities. We were talking
about the BIG rich. Millionaires.
The kind that are supposed to
make socialists by causing other
people to envy them.
We started out talking about the
BIG RICH of other and earlier
times tht Morgans and the
Rockefellers and the Jim Hills
and the Harrimans and the Henry
Fords, and that sort.
We finally agreed (as . recall
It, there wasn't a dissenting voice)
that even if able and dynamic
men of that age did make more
money than was exactly good for
their heirs they left a heritage of
achievement that was good for
the country as a whole. The oil
that was developed by Rockefeller
and the railroads that were built
by the Harrimans and the Hills
and the automobile empire that
was created by Henry Ford have
made this a better country for
ail of us to live in. ,
Having settled that, we moved
on to the big rich of today. The
NEW rich, I mean. The kind that
keep the night spots and such go
ing. The HAVES who make the
news for the HAVE-NOTS to read.
- Who are they?
How go they make It?
You know, we came to the cyn
ical conclusion that as much big
money, QUICK, money is being
made today as ever was made in
the fabled days of the past and
a whale of a lot of it (especially
1h kind that makes news) is be
ing made by - RACKETEERS of
one sort or another. Gamblers,
black marketeers and such. The
quick buck tribe.
That is to say, there are filthy
rlco in. these reformed and liberal
days just as there were filthy rich
in those bad old days of the
past, regardless of what the dem
agogues may tell us.
Delegates Keep
Senator Morse
Off Committee
SALEM W) Sen. Wayne Morse,
Republican National convention
delegate has been denied any of
Oregon's posts on convention com
mittees. At an organization meeting of
the 18 delegates here Saturday,
Morse was nominated for the im
portant platform committee. But
he lost out 13 to 5 to Mark Hat
field, young Willamette University
political science professor.
The platform committee post was
the only one for which Morse was1
nominated.
Main opposition to Morse came
from Gordon Orput, Portland dele
gate, who said, "It would do more
harm than good to put Morse on
any committee. He's a controver
sial hot potato because of his New
Dealish attitude."-
Howard Dent of The Dalles, who
nominated Morse, said the senator
should get the post "not only be
cause of his knowledge of the na
tional picture but because we have
to have a liberal platform. We can't
win in November just with Repub
lican votes. We have to have a
liberal platform so we can attract
Democratic votes."
Gov. Douglas McKay was elected
chairman of the delegation. Robert
C. Elliott, Medford, defeated Tom
my Luke, Portland, for vice-chair
man.
(Morse, advised in Washington
of the delegates' action, told the
Associated Press that he did not
"propose to let any differences
within the Oregon delegation cause
me to lose sight of the importance
to the Republican party of our
doing everything we an to nomin
ate Eisenhower and "reby assure
the election of a ntblican ad
