Will the Republican party com mit suicide? Will rival tactions fight to a salemate .and permit a darkhorse to win the nomination? We don't know the answer to those questions, but one thing is certain, business and industrial production will suf fer while the Big Show is in progress and the public re mains glued to radio and television sets. Interest always is keen in presidential nominating con ventions, but none in recent years has aroused public atten tion as has this year's Republican show. The bitter struggle .within Republican ranks has fanned public fervor. The event will be pf especial interest to the millions fortunate enough to be in areas where television is available. The TV cameras are expected to give viewers an even better look at the convention than will be obtained by the delegates and spectators actually seated in the convention hall, for they will supply closeup views of speakers and will pinpoint cen ters of activities while screening out confusing surroundings. Party Harmony Endangered Many observers feel that the Republican party is in dan ger of commiting suicide. It is undoubtedly a possibility. But we have been through other battles and have always emerged with parties still intact. We expect such will be the case this year, despite the fact that each party will un dergo much internal stress and strain. In fact, it is a pleasure to see the Republican party showing such an array of potential candidates. For too long it has lacked outstanding material. This year, in addition to the two leading contenders, the party has several very acceptable candidates on the bench, available for pinch-hitting roles in the event of a deadlock. We cannot have efficient and honest government with out two strong parties. The Republican party has been weak for a long time. It has lacked inspiring leadership. The two candidates preparing to slug it out next week are of truly big calibre, while men of comparable ability are re ceptive darkhorse candidates. The fact that the Republican party in this crucial year a year when the country as a whole, we believe, is wanting a change is able to mar shal not one but several good candidates is conducive to better government. Convention of Strategy "; ' An interesting feature of the convention is the strategy line already in evidence. ; Taft, in late propaganda moves, Is turning his guns upon Dewey rather than Eisenhower. He js endeavoring to make the public believe that Eisenhower is only a puppet for New York's governor who failed in the last presidential election. The Taft spokesmen are spreading the word that Dewey would run the government should Eisenhower be elected. '. But the Taft crowd is showing fear. Heretofore Taft has confidently claimed nomination on the first ballot. It is generally believed his chances for nomination are remote unless he can gain victory on the first roll call. But new strategy seems to be changing that picture. Observers now report that after the first ballot, if Taft isn't nominated, MacArthur will announce his willingness to accept the vice presidency as a running mate for Taft, but that he will not 'accept the position if any other presidential candidate is named. Thus Taft is seeking to avail himself of General MacArthur's popularity; seeking to ride into the nomination 'on the general's coattails. This position, we believe, is a , definite admission of weakness. If Taft had the strength he has been claiming all along, he would not need the Mac Arthur reserves. Taft has massed a lot of power behind his steamroller. .He has organized his attacking force on the lines of the German blitzkrieg. But Ike stopped the blitz in Europe. Next week we'll learn whether he can stop the same type of attack at home. "We are NEVER going to get out of the highway muddle, we are NEVER going to get the modern highway system we need even though the need be great until the everyday man on the street, the man with NO axe to grind but who, after all, is the ultimate cus tomer, starts doing the talking!" So declared Albert Bradley, chairman of the National Highway Users conference, also a General Motors vice-president, addressing the conference recently. Ills ad dress was reprinted in an attrac tive, Illustrated booklet, "Who Is Ciolng to Do the Talking?" "There arc 62 million licensed motor vehicle operators in the Vnlted States. Every day six-and-a half million children ride a hun dred thousand buses to school. The rural mail carrier makes his rounds to 55-mitltnn rural resi dents. Half of the Nation's workers get to their Jobs in automobiles. Much of what they produce, most of what we cat and wear will trav el onee or many times in some of the nation's eight million trucks." In 1916, Mr. Bradley, address ! lng the conference that year, "went way out on a limb in pre dicting as many as 45. million ve hiclo registrations by 1960. . . We reached 4S million In 1950 that Is in four years instead of 14. . . In 19M I predicted that by 190 regis trations would total 53 million. . . We are up to S3 million right NOW, and it's only 1952. , . The THE BLITZ? Lending basket ggCTaPoyS Drains story on gasoline consumption Is about the same. . . Travel the same: J40 billion miles a year in 1946. 4B0 billion in 1950, over 500 billion NOW. What will the figure ue Dy 19607 Mr. Bradley told of the PAR movement Project Adequate Roads now in the formative stage, which it is hoped will start a grounn swell to roach the srass roots: "Get action where action counts which is the local club. lodge or chamber of commerce." He paid full credit to what has been done, both by the organisa tions and by highway departments themselves, but he thought the people need once more (as they am in early days of the automo bile) "to set on their collective ear," demand and get action, as they did men! Although our existing roads are wearing out and are less able to handle the growing Iridic, we are NOT SPENDING AS MUCH ON HIGHWAYS as we did before the war. Annual expenditures 1939 41 $2 5 billion in 1941 dollars. . . For 1949 51, $2.3 billion in the sama kind of dollars. Since Korea, ex isting highway projects have been held up for lack of steel. Rail roads are considered by the gov ernment more vital for defense. Are they? The reprint of Mr. Bradley's speech showj freight trains lying on their sides In Kans as City flood. The time has come, he suggests, for the people to de mand action for "Adequate Roads for a Stronger America." "If Fulton Lewis Jr. 1 ,ite CHICAGO I had to chase half way around the world for proof that the State Department is busy giving Presi dent Syngman Rhee, of South Korea, the same treatment that cost Chiang Kai-shek control of China. The Voice of America Is doing! the hatchet work on Rhee for Secretary of State Dean Acheson's left wingers. But I had to aend to Korea for the documents. No body in the State Department, it seems, ever listens to the VOA, so officials didn't know what was going on in Korea. That, as usual, is a lie. Rhee has been busy fighting the war against Communists and he hasn't had the time or money to set up his own information and propaganda radio in South Ko rea. Anyway, the VOA said that it would be glad to do it for him in conjunction with the' United Nations, and Rhee thought that was a nice gesture. It may wind up by costing him the sup port and friendship of his people. He has already shut up the VOA temporarily in South Korea, and I, for one, can't say that I would blame him if he shut it off per manently. Rhee is ducking assassins while trying to set up a two-house form of government in South Korea, patterned after our own House and Senate, with his country's president to be elected by the people. There is a one-house as sembly now which itself elects the president, and it isn't working very well, especially since it is infested with South Korean Reds. Rhee has jailed a few of them, an act that incensed Acheson, the VOA and the United Nations. Two of the jailbirds have already con fessed, but the VOA has yet to inform the South Korean people of this fact, Rhee Is known and trusted by his people. He helped rally them when the North Koreans attacked his country. He deserves a fair chance to get a democratic gov ernment working In South Ko rea, even if Acheson's left wing blabber mouths in the VOA can't stomach the thought. On .June 6, 1952, the VOA broad cast this statement all over South Korea: ' "Rhee has become an intoler able nuisance and danger." The VOA is in South Korea at Rhce's sufferance and the U. S. is supposed to be helping South Koreans win the war there. But, as you can see, Rhee doesn't dare turn his back on his allies for fear of a political knifing. If there la opposition to Rhoo in South Korea it seems only fair to let the South Koreans settle it. That's democracy, but the VOA has never heard of it, apparently. And I can't help but. ask what would happen here if represen tatives of the Korean government in Washington started a series of daily broadcasts and press re leases criticiiing the corruption and political thievery of the Tru-man-Acheson administration? I'd be happy tu help finance the pro ject. What It all boils down to is that the State Department and the United Nations are determined to ruin Rhee. Such things as this are spewed out of the left wing sewer In the Slate Department for broadcast over the South Ko rean VOA network: "It is true that the U. N. char ter forbids any intervention upon domestic affairs, but President Hheo has already exceeded the limits. He disregarded the V. N. and Immnlert iiniier his feet All I principles for which tha U. N. s Yours-IF You Can Army Is committed in Korea." Here is another: "The President's high handed methods have brought Korea face to face with a political crisis. First it might affect unfavorably the combat ability of ROK armies which form the mainstay of the security of the UN command. The United States, which is engaged in a life and death struggle with a dictatorial regime, cannot Very well permit another such re. glme bidding for power in South Korea." Finally lhe VOA got down to cases. It broadcast this to the South Koreans, always, of course, quoting someone else, but still spewing out me poison: "The fact that President Rhee has been for many years a power ful leader of South Korea is not the same as saying he has been a popular one. We believe he can te called, to a great extern, a pocket edition of Chiang Kai- shek. We 11. there t s. You know what Acheson and Truman did to Chiang. Rhee is next, if he lets the VOA get away with it. Maybe he ought to throw every VOA em ployee out of boutn Korea ior in citing rebellion specifically and generally for sticking their twitch ing noses in his business. If he doesn't, he's done.

Runs Afoul Of License Law ONEONTA, N.Y. uf - The Silver nail boys, Fred and Neal, could not convince their father that the gadg et they built with a washing ma chine motor and odd parts was an automobile. Just a toy, Dad would say as the one-cylinder, one and one half horsepower machine chugged along as fast as 10 miles an hour.

Lfft it'" 1 ripf New Red Proposal To Break Deadlock Full Of 'Gimmicks' MUNSAV, Korea to Commu nist negotiators Thursday offered a new plan for breaking the Kor ean truce talks deadlock, but an Allied spokesman said the proposal contains a "lot of glmmicka and potential gimmicks." Maj. Gen, William K. Harrison Jr., said the Red plan "may be an important one and it may not." The Reds indicated they would ease their demand for return of all military prisoners in United Nations stockades, provided the 20,000 Chinese captives are re turned. They asked for secret sessions to discuss the proposal. Allied refusal to repatriate any prisoner who does not want to go home has deadlocked the truce talks for weeks, r Last April tha U, N. screened most of the 169,000 war captives and civilian internees in its stock, ades and found that about 100.000 did not want to return to Commu nist rule. The total included about 15,000 Chines war prisoners.

Allied warplanes, virtually grounded for five days, poked their noses through holes in the overcast to pound Communist supply lines behind the front. Reno Gamblers j Shy At Wagering On GOP Choice RENO Wt If you want to bet on who gets the Republican presi dential nominations, you'll have to find takers other than Reno's legal gamblers. As a rule they will take a wager on most anything but they aren't accepting bets on whether Sen. Robert A. Taft or Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower emerges the victor at next week's GOP convention at Chi cago. There are a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that the gamblers themselves can't agree on which side of the fence to play. One bookie says that if he posted odds, they would be heavy in Gen eral Eisenhower's favor. Another disagrees. He says It will be Taft, hands down. A third bookie figures Ike for a slicht edge. ! But don't send your money here. I Even if Nevada's gamblers de ' cided to take bets on the contest, thev .couldn't take yours unless you ' were in the state and could walk up to their counters. The State Tax Commission, which regulates all gambling in Nevada, has decreed that bookies cannot accept out-of-state bets and can take no wagers by telephone or telegraph even trom within the state. Sen. McCarthy Fires New Blast At Benton WASHINGTON IB -Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy swore Thursday that "fellow travellers. Communists , and complete dupes were shel i tered" by Sen. William Benton i when Benton was in the State 1 Department. ! McCarthy. Wisconsin Prepubll ran, levelled the accusation at a public hearing before a Senate Rules subcommittee to support his : demands for a full scale invesli I gation of the Connecticut Demo cratic Senator. I The same subcommittee has been looking into Benton's accu sations of fraud and deceit against j McCarthy. ' In the Day's News (Continued from Page On) taka in In taxes. They borrow the difference from the Bank . of France, which then starts 1 1 a presses and prints paper franca to make up tha difference. What la the net result? This is it: FRANCE IS BANKRUPT. Europe got another dose of hot weather today. It waa so hot in London that as a special conces sion the Lord Chief Justice per mitted British judges to doff their traditional white wigs. When the heat upsets British tradition, it'i REALLY HOT! Good advice: Don't scoff at British tradition. Traditionally, the British OBEY THE LAW. That's all to the good. . Old fogy opinion (still entitled to some respect): If wa had followed more closely the traditions established by our Founding Fathers, we'd all be bet ter off. Man-bites-dog note: Claude Hammond of New York City stood beside the road trying to thumb a ride to the Newark airport. A big sedan carrying three men stopped. One of them asked Hammond to identify him self as a responsible citizen. When he got out his wallet to do so, the guy GRABBED IT, Jumped back in the car and it sped away. Man's inhumanity to man (on both sides of tha fence) makes countless thousands mourn. Dog-bites-man note: ' Farmer Luigi Costa, living near Rome, N. Y., came to town yes terday to get spruced up for the Fourth. He bought a snappy new suit, had his gray hair tinted back to its original brown, got a shava and all the works and went home smelling sweetly of shaving lotion, massage pomade and such. Today he's all bandaged up. His dog FAILED TO RECOGNIZE HIM and sank Ha teeth in him as a suspicious character. Come clean, now. When you meet an old bird with his hair freshly dyed, and maybe with a new permanent wave, and smelling of all the bottles in the barber shop, I'll bet you feel the same urge as Costa's dog.
