The explanation is not to be found so much in a change of sentiment as in personalities and in a slight swing in voting from one side to the other. The LaFollette dynasty had pretty well run its course in Wisconsin. When Bob left the sinking ship of the progressive party to rejoin the republicans he had few on hand to welcome him. George Norris was aged and hadn't: kept up his personal contacts in Nebraska. ; There is another factor; and that is that there always was in Wisconsin a hard core of conser vatism.

Davies, industrialist of San Francisco chairman of a minority stockholders group in American President Line( former Dollar lines),: 1 . j 4. . . 11 i in aaverse comment on an eaiioriai in ims pa per on April 17th respecting the attitude of gov ernment officials toward court decisions in the R. Stanley Dollar action to recover stock in the! steamship company. Davies states: "We believe that the government is acting in an eminently proper manner to protect the in terest of the taxpayers. There is ample legal precedent In several supreme court decisions which is guiding the government's action in this . j case. ' Our editorial position was taken on the basis of "state decisis," that the case had been decid ed, by, refusal of the supreme court to intervene and reverse the decision of lower courts award ing the stock to Dollar, which seemed in fact - contemptuous of the courts. Since then of course the chief justice has acted to delay a stay of the order of the lower court to permit further ad-i judication of the points at issue. The facts are that the Dollar Steamship com pany was heavily indebted to the government; and in 1938 Dollar transferred his stock to the government. Along came the war and profits in British Faced With Grim Choice in Iranian Oil Dispute: Strong Actions or-Oil Losses By Joseph Alsop LONDON, May 24 'As these words are written, the betting appears to be about even that the British will move troops to south Persia. At any rate, they ' are just about up against the grim choice be tween taking all the heavy risks t this step, or taking the con sequence of out right expropria- 1 A V i Mar txt hlr Ir- l- !.nian oil re- tJIJ S&urces. . f Furthermore, the British can ,not easily move troops without a minimum of American moral support at least enough Jto see them through a charge of aggres sion before the United Nations. tThe future of the Western alli ance, which America leads, also ; hangs upon the outcome in Per si. Hence this British choice Is, I at the same time, inescapably an American choice. " f Until now, even the hardier spirits in the Foreign Office have only been talking about moving : I troops to "protect the lives of I British nationals" in Persia. Now, however, the veils are dropping, fit is almost certain that Sir Oliver j Franks has already been instruct 1 ed to talk with Secretary of State .Dean G.

The business outlook there-, fore seems to be good for the rest of 1951. j Senator Karl Mundt has been plugging for a; coalition of republicans and southern democrats.! This coalition often works together in congress particularly to kill off fair deal legislation, but it will not be hitched as a single party for thej indefinite future. To southern democrats repub-l licans are still "black" and "damned Yankees.' And a good? many republicans balk at the con-' servatism of southern democrats.

Something new in Iran is the mixing of oil and religion. Demonstrating Iranians threaten a fholy war" if necessary to nation- alize the country's oil industry. I Schools get a break in the tax bill the hous ways and means committee is working on. The excise on footballs would be wiped out, also the admissions tax to government. But it was too late for this expedient. On Sunday while the prime minister, Dr. Mossadegh, crouched in his bar ricaded room, his representative, Hussein Makki, told the Persian parliament that the existing gov ernment would never negotiate the oil dispute with the British. A miracle may of course rescue the British and American policy makers from!! the dilemma on whose horns they have been wriggling like befuddled tadpoles. But since little short of a miracle can prevent the grim choice from being made this week, it is now wise to examine its real nature. No one in his senses can find much that is attractive about the first laternative -a movement of British troops to south Persia. Britain does; not really have enough airborne forces for the job. Even to secure control of the minimum territory, Abadan island with its vital; refinery, will be a dirty business, probably involv ing heavy losses of life on both sides. Such a. Crass imperialist act will make, to say the least, ' a bad impression elsewhere in the Middle and Far East. j .- - -'- It may touch off a Russian in-. vasion of norths Persia.

The list of objections is formidable indeed. :v::-. - But as usual, the choice now is not between bad and good,! but between evil and more evil If "American Influence or Indiffer ence deters the; British govern ment from protecting their oil re source, the following consequen ces will be almost unavoidable, -First, the British economy, which depends exclusively upon Middle Eastern oil. will receive a a t i . . . . .

What has previously been done for Britain will be for gotten because America has not stood by her ally in this hour of need; and the Anglo-American partnership, the core of Western strength, will dissolve in a tem pest of mutual recrimination. Second, the economics of West ern Europe and India will also be disrupted. And a cessation of the oil flow from Abadan will make it fantastically costly, and in wartime almost prohibitively difficult, to supply the fleets in the Mediterranean and the vital strategic airbases there. j Third, Persian success in ex propriating British oil will set an example that will quickly be im itated in Egypt, in Iraq, and in every other nation in a remotely similar situation. There will be no conrolling the chain reaction. Furthermore, the strain imposed on these weak governments by biting off so much more than they can chew, will equally inevitably 'produce secondary political re sults of great violence.! Dr. Moss adegh and his followers think -they are keeping one jump ahead of the Tudeh party by their hand ling of the oil issue. But it is even more likely that the Tudeh will ' be the ultimate beneficiary if Dr. Mossadegh now succeeds in his plans, than if he is frustrated by forcible measures; f , i ; The price of a policy of inac-. tion, .in short, is a gigantic change in the world balance of power, altering the while Middle East ern pattern, shaking the Yestera alliance to its foundations, and . perhaps destroying it. This is no Mexican oil squabble. 'This is the terrible game of power politics, being played for the- greatest stakes. i fCopyriirM. 1951. Mew York Herald Tribune Inc.)

In some persons, the skin is dry, while in others it is moist, which seems to depend somewhat on the amount of se cretion from the fat glands in the skin. Disturbances in the glands of internal secretion, such as lack of thyroid secretion, may be con tributing ' causes. However, in these instances, symptoms, such as dryness and thickness of the hair, lack of energy, and exces sive gain in weight will be noted.

Vandercook (Dial; $30) Two hundred years' ago there lived a man. - t His explorations - helped give Britain a realm : on which the sun never set. and proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent with a climate akin to Europe's. His practical hygiene banished the age old curse of scurvy from the seas The man was James Cook, son of a peasant, who became a cap tain, no less, in the Royal Navy, and the world's most expert navi gator and map maker. Strong, silent, intellectual as well as practical. Cook seems sort of a non-combatant, real life 'Captain Hornblower. Both sailors and ' natives loved him. That's npt surprising, because he worked his men 'only eight in stead of 18 hours a ; day. and neglected to Cog them. And he merely peppered natives with harmless birdshot, insteead of plastering ' them with . buckshot, and then only in eases of dire necessity . j Author Vandercook has the happy faculty of . knowing just hew his hero felt -and thought and what his incidental actions were at given moments two cen turies ago. That and mastery of the four-word sentence make at least for easy reading. Cook voyaged three times to the Pacific, mapped the eastern shore of Australia, proved New Zealand is insular, and discover ed islands by the hatful. Tahiti, which was his stamping ground, is French now and Hawaii, where he died at the bands of natives who generally welcomed him, has long since been American. But the British Empire and Briusn naval tradition would scarcely have been the same without him. THE BASE-STEALEE, by M. G. Bonner (Knopf: $2.50) This is for the youngsters, and about them.
