And too many people have been naive enough to believe that Russia would withhold the use of such power if sne naa it. We have been told that we must build up a great military machine to defend ourselves against the Soviet threat. Cer tainly we need a military machine a big one and a good one I We'll need a big military machine for many years to come. But there is no reason why even with what we have, we should permit ourselves to be pushed around, humiliated and disgraced in the eyes of our potential and weuld-be friends because we lack intestinal fortitude. The Koje Island case is, we believe, sufficcnt evidence that a little roughshod retaliation for insults would at least stop some of this nonsensical impudence pending the real showdown, if a showdown we must have. iBASK Did you ever hear of the Bush nell sextuplets? Probably not. Thay were born before the days of radio, intensive coverage by the press, and heaven help us I television. Nowdays any little thing finds its way into millions of homes before the day is over! But back in September, 1883, al though the news got around, it did n't get around with the force of a thunderclap or the speed of light ning. The six babies were born to Mr. and Mrs. James Bushnell; three did not live beyond infancy, but the other throe lived to what we call a "ripe old age," and only re cently did the last of the six" pass on In a nursing home in Warsaw, N. Y. The Wyoming County Times, published there, reviewed the story in a recent issue, James Bushnell, who worked in a bank in Lockport, N. Y., married a French girl who had come here at the age of 13. Their first chil dren were triplets; they did not live beyond infancy. Then came the sextuplets, then belive It or not! another set of triplets, and as a grand climax a set of QUN tuplutsl The mother passed on at the age of 35, but the father, ac cording to the family records, liv ed until 1912. Mrs. Alice Bushnell Parker, the last living one of the sextuplets. was 88. For fifty years she had lived at Silver Lake, a summer resort well known for its Chataqua. I can remember going there as a child. Four years ago Mrs. Parker was struck by an automobile, but until then, for forty years, she had been an active worker at the Perry Knitting Mills.

' yt' . v VV'' r?& V f K v www Fulton Levis Jr. rasa As of today, there are 61 contested convention seats. Because of the close race between Senator Robert A. Taft and Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 61 may hold the key to the nomination of one or the other leading contenders. The facts are that under uur convention rules for the past eight years, contests between opposite factions or delegates must be set tled by the state convention, or in certain cases by GOP slate com mittees. National convention rules now prohibit bringing to the convention floor any delegate squabbles ex cept those involving delegates at large. Of the 61 Involved, only 10 are delegates at large. It is only these ten that will be considered by the convention rules committee nr the convention as a whole at least, under present rules, which of course could be changed at any time. , Eisenhower backers, particular ly those associated with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, have been breathing neavny over the 61 contested delegates. They might as well, be saving tneir breath. In 1944 in Chicago, when Dewey was in control of GOP convention machinery, and again in 1948 in Philadelphia, the following conven tion rule section B, rule 4 was adopted, and is today on the books: "All contests arising in any state electing district delegates by dis trict committees shall be decided by its state convention, or if the state convention shall not meet prior to the national convention, then by its state committee; and only contests affecting delegates at large shall be presented to the national convention." The GOP squabble in Texas fo cused attention on the contested delegate situation. Taft people took control of the Texas state conven tion roughshod. Eisenhower sup porters, with loud cries of anguish, boiled the meeting and named their own slate of 29 delegates supporting the general. The so called "regular" convention pledg ed its 29 delegates to Taft. They are the delegates who will be seat ed in Chicago in July, regardless of how It irks Eisenhower support ers, unless there is a change in the rules. Spokesmen for the Republican National committee say that any rule change is unlikely, and es pecially so if proposed by the Dew-ey-Eisenhower faction. After all. it was Dewey who machine-gunned the rule onto the books in the lirst place. Georgia has 16 contested dele gates; Louisiana, 9; Mississippi, 5 and Virginia, 2. In general the situation in Texas is mirrored in the other four states, although in ona or two cases local disagree- i ments and personalities enter into the picture. Section B of rule 4 was adopted because convention delegates in 1944 and again in 1948 agreed that on local levels, and not at party conclaves, where more Important business has to be dealt with. One national committee member sum med It up by stating that he didn't want to ba put in the position, as a resident of Pennsylvania, of having to settle an argument in volving Texas. The national committee is anx ious to set the record straight on contested delegates. By so doing the committee can save a number of delegates from spending travel . money uselessly, also, it might pull ihe plug on protest demon- j strationi that are undoubtedly in j the works in Texas and elsewhere. 1 Some Things Straight lr I N1 r v '"y UN mm There will be enough contusion in Chicago in July without the highly vocal battles between opposing slates of delegates that will surely develop if both factions try to oc cupy the same convention chairs.

Having thus gone on record, throe times in a row, against seizure of the steel nuns as a means of settling a strike, the senate then voted, 49 to 30, to re quest that President Truman use the Taft-Hartley law ana seen a court injunction against continu ance of the strike. This Is the point: ProslAVnt Truman has repeated ly refused to use the Taft-Hartley law in an etion 10 scuie ine strike. Good or bad, the Taft-Hartley law is the LAW OF THE LAND. Mr. Truman says he doubts if it would work. The senate says plainly to him: "Try it first, and-SEE whether It will work." Personally, I'm inclined to doubt whether in the embittered situa tion that has followed the steel rijckus the Taft-Hartley law would work. About all it provides is an 80-day interval during which a strike would be forbidden. It ra ther looks like at the end of the 80 days, we'd be as badly off as we are now. Maybe we'd be worse off, for the feeling on both sides, which is bitter and angry now, would probably be even more bitter and angry at the end of the 80-day Injunction period. But I certainly can't help won dering where we are at if the Pres ident of the United States, whose duly under the constitution is to administer the laws that are pas sed by congress, can REFUSE to administer a law that has already been passed by the congress. That looks to me like UTTER CONFUSION. I wonder what the Founding Fathers would have thought (and said) if it had been suggested to them that the time would come when that could hap pen. 1 I Imagine they would have been horrified.

"I" .' . mi -4 Military Heads Oppose Eisenhower Because Pentagon Cannot Fool Him By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) Reaction in the Pentagon to the possibility of General Eisenhower becoming President and commander-in-chief of all U. S. forces ranges from luke-warm enthusiasm to violent opposition. The fact that there isn't wild enthusiasm for Ike for President among the generals and admirals seems to boil down to one phenome non. And is's got nothing to do with Ike personally. It would be the same with any military man. They realize that Ike knows too much about their business and that the chances of pulling the wool over his eyes are pretty slim. This feeling in the Pentagon about Ike as President is probably Ike's backers' most exploitable an swer to the criticism that a mili tary man shouldn't be President. A darn good case can be made for this being the perfect time for electing a President with a real militay background. The military boys have gotten their firm grip on this town since the war by hammering away at one argument whenever they are challenged on anything. They say to senators, congressmen and bud get experts the same thing: "Who are you to question us on military matters? were the military ex perts you've created and you've got to take our word for it." Truman Easy Tool . Fabulously expensive turkeys have already been sold to the American taxpayers on the basis of this argument. And the mis takes can always be covered up by slapping on security restric tions. If the Pentagon brass had their way they'd keep President Tru man in the White House forever. His military background as an ar tillery officer in World War I in doctrinated him with just the right amount of reverence for stars on the shoulder. The brass can't see among the candidates of both parties a man nearly as pleasant to do business with as President Truman, Usually it would fall to the President's military aide to act as the White House brake on the Pentagon. President Truman's military aide, however, happens to be Harry Vaughan. The brass knows just how frosty an eye General Eisenhower is cap able of turning on padded requests for funds and waste and extrava-; gance. Acting under orders, he had a key part in helping former Secre tary of Defense Louis Jonnson pare military expenses to a post war low. And what Pentagon of ficer has the gall to suggest that he is more of a military expert than Ike?

The feeling is expressed pub licly by Sen. Paul Douglas of Illi nois, a Marine reserve officer who once suggested Ike as the candid ate both parties should nominate. At a recent Marine Corps re serve officers' meeting he accused Ike, when he was Army chief of staff, of signing a secret proposal, which would have destroyed ine Corps as a combat unit." Reaction in hish Army circles to Ike as President is complicated. The so-called Eisenhower group is not in the saddle now. Many gen erals feel they'd be out of key posts if he became President. It's generally assumed that Ike would make his good friend and European aide Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, Army chief of staff. It's actually the Gruenther, rather than the Eisenhower group, that hopes Ike gets the big job. JrNw-Rvtw I WBvfd by 3 I fclSpj.pm I V 2-2631 IwtwM fclS4 7sua.

Douglas MacArthur is violating Army regulations In agreeing to be the keynote speaker at the Republican national conven tion. ' Truman told his news conference Thursday he regards the keynote role as politics, but as to whether he thought MacArthur should retho from active duty before filling it, the President said that is the Army's problem. The Army announced last Tues day it was not considering any ac tion in connection with MacArthur designation as convention keynote speaker. All this had the effect of leaving an atmosphere of uncertainty around the status of any other general or GI who might decide to take an active part in the poll., tical campaign.
