The Sun Takes at Least a Day Off The rains came gently to the valley Monday. They came as we wished them to come, borne on a light breeze with skies still light and friendly. And they came when we wanted them j an autocrauc ; and needed them. They are welcome, and if in giving new life they kick up their moistened heels to the tune of wind and thunder, who can blame them! After all, they've long been sty mied, longer than in any recent year, and surely there must be much of them to faU. " There are folk who have looked with appre hension at sunny does start, it never .will quit," they'd say-. Or, "what a drenching er breaks." Well, the rains will quit and drenching won't wear their welcome in months to come no one can deny they paused for days and weeks to leave us a wondrous autumn are they chased the sun away. f . Mayhap the rains are still teasing us a bit, at that. It could be the drops of Monday were only the forward echelons of ranks still forming to the north and west.

Harry S. Truman has made the Presidency a reflection of himself.. He is now using the highest office of the land as a political rostrum for a series of rabble-rousing talks that have all the vulgar overtones of a nrecinct rally. If he could be disso- in mind. in iamng io, juossounan on a only part of the American scene. But wherever Mr. Truman goes and whatever he says or does, he bears the Presidency of the United States. And h bears it ill. The, Big Lie and its constant repetition Is as old as public affairs. It goes with politics, and the American people have become so aware of it, that they discount the tall9 claims. It is unlikely that the i to find justifi men and women one without sporting appreciation for the Truman technique in the political ring. Yet it is a disgraceful day for America that the Presidency should be reduced to a roadside show to titillate the multitudes with the hoopla of elec tioneering.

It may be a bad thing to talk out of different cor ners of your mouth in parts of the country. But the practical fact ; remains ;; the tone and character of ! Gen. Eisenhower's planned campaign wind-up wiH give him an invaluabk record to point to if he is elected. Becaase of the kind 'of speech the General b new making to Eastern andienees, the Republi can exteremlsts and Isolationists wfll never be able to claim that Elsenhower got elected by taking their advice.

Taft and his adherents. But he wQl be reasonably well place to win that struggle, provided his inexperience in practical politics and his usually admirable desire to conciliate do not 'a use him to throw his -natural advantages away. : By the same takes. Gov. Stev easoa has also made impertaat compromises.' Like Elsenhower, Stevenson experienced disappoint ments early in the eampalga. Es pecially, he aad his advisers found that mere mlnatbm as Democratic candidate . for the president did set traauferm Stev enson late a vivid aatioaal person ality overnight. This in tan apses the original Stevens plan, which was to anneal to the eonntrr bv . sober discussion of e arrest Issaes. Sober discussion was all very well in its wsr. the Stevenson Urh command, discovered, hut It did not gain ground against Elsen- -bower's -popularity. Hence1 Stevenson, who at first promised that he was "not going to run against Hoover. has begun to do precisely that. He has made o discernible concessions on foreign policy. But on domestic policy, he has switched over to an intensive effort to maintain the old Democratic alliance of the farmers, labor, the negroes and the South. This' change of strate gy is, in itself, a major conces sion. Yet, as in Eisenhower's case, there b no reason to believe that the concession .ade by Stevenson has fa lly impaired his power to take an independent line if he reaches the White House. la short, each candidate has remetantly bat inevitably aeanhv ed a good deal of e coloration of the party that nominated him; bat each, in his different way, re- .. .rr,7L iV ! w i-iu. ujtuu CCopyrirht. 195S.

Since many of the dependent peoples had suffered discrimina tion from the white .race or Eu ropeans, the newly-emancipated peoples and others resentful of white domination are greatly concerned over continuing t dis crimination. Thursday by a great r majority the nations voted to in clude ion the agenda a proposal of India to consider the item of discrimination . in South Africa against persons of Indian origin. This would open up the whole matter of the "apartheid" (segre gation) policy of the white gov- ernment of the Union of South Africa against those of Indian origin, the so-called colored peo ple who previously have had the right to vote, and the big popu lation of Bantus (negroes). South Africa's 'representative objected strongly to the item on the ground that it constituted in-. tervention in the domestic affairs of a member nation; but the ma jority, overrode him, and even overrode the president, Lester Pearson of Canada, on a point of order.; 7 Another evidence of the revolt of the colonials was the address Thursday of Mr. Santa Cruz, rep resentative of Chile, who spoke at length against the exploitation of the backward countries, whose wealth often b extracted for use elsewhere. He urged the commer cial and industrial development of these countries for the benefit of their people a development our own country seeks to pro mote through its Point Four pro gram and for which U.N. has a program of technical assistance. In the General Assembly each nation has one :: vote.
