The Democratic Ticket
It't Stevenson and Kefeuver!
In many reipecti Itiii strong ticket. It
li pretty well balanced: Stevenson with his
appeal to the intellectuals, Kefauver with
bia appeal to the lowly. The South is repre
sented, geographically if not ideologically, In
Kefauver. His name will add strength in
northern cities where the civil rights issue
la Important, and the fart that he is not in
the top spot should mitigate some of the
hostility of tbe city bosses who hated him
la 1952 for hli TV crime exposes. ,
The ticket, too, is one remarkably free
from boss dictation. Harry Truman. was neat
ly sidetracked on both nominations. Kefauver
has never been a favorite of the Southern
elders in the party. Tammany hall got
skunked when Harriman was washed out of
the race. Yet the nominations were made
with a minimum of bruiting.
The personal popularity of President Elsen
hower still gives Republicans a great lead;
but they dare not make the mistake of 194S
and take victory for granted. The 1936 elec
tion may develop Into aomething of a boss
rac after all -
Guinea Pig Watershed
Governor Smith proposed to the State
Natural Resources Committee that a whole
watershed be taken for a test oa water uses
and the relations of various utilizations of
water and programa of recreation and wild
life and fishing. It ia aa ambitious project,
but the problem will be to select and to
direct the basin which is to be the guinea
pig. Results in txperimenta depend on the
constancy of the factors, and only where
these are controlled can the resulta be fully
reliable. But la a stream basin there are so
many activities and so diverse that only
rough approximations of fundamental laws
can be determined.
la the Horace J. Andrews experimental
forest in the Blue River watershed in the
MeKenzie system the forest service ia mak
ing studies on the flow of certain streams
under given conditions of cover and clear
ing. Since the area is under Its own super
vision with no logging on the particular
watershed, it will be possible to arrive at
aome definite conclusions. Comparisons as to
stream flow are also being made between two
streams where conditions are different The
scale offered by the governor is much broad
er, and so more difficult of conducting; yet
the knowledge is needed. Certainly Governor
Smith's proposal deserves exploration both
as to scope and methods and feasibility.
In Defense of Paperbacks1
Indictment of two Salem magazine dis
tributors on a charge of selling Indecent
literature, with most of the evidence shown
the grand Jury in tba form of pocket-sized
books, not only has raised the tricky ques
tion of local censorship but also tends to give
paperbacks a bad name. This is unfortunate.
Good literature in beautifully bound books
Is an expensive luxury most middle-claw
Americans simply cannot afford. Say tbe
average family buys a half-dozen hard-cover
books a year for about $24. Add to that sub
scriptions to a half-dozen magazines for an
other $24. There art probably few $3000
$5000 a year families spending more than $50
a year on reading material. That ia a pretty
slim diet of resding.
Library books are available to, supplement
that diet, but you can't take them on picnics
or read them In the bathtub. They have to
be taken care of and returned, on time. So
only a minority of the population .. reads
library books.
That' makes paperbacks (cheap, expend
able, easily available) the handiest weapon
against the cultural stagnation of depending
upon .TV for intellectual stimulation. Pocket
books have brought both the publishing in
dustry and the consumer out of a dreary
slump, finsnclal and mental.
The title lists of the several paperback
publishers should earn the solemn respect
of the most fastidious critic as well as the
lascivious drool of the dirty-minded.
The Bible and Shakespeare (both fairly
down-to-earth, Incidentally) head the list of
classics which includes some of the best work
of English. French. Italian and Russian ("War
and Peace" by Tolstoy now a paperback)
authors that are required reading in high
schools and colleges. Many top moderns are
among them: Faulkner, Tennessee Williams,
Capote, D. H. Lawrence, Huxley, George Or
well Alberto Moravia, Louis Brom field, Jamea
T. FarrelL Sinclair Lewis, Dreiser, Arthur
Koestler, Dylan Thomas. Anthologies of the
-work of promising, little-known writers are
a service both to them and the public. Non
fiction like "Tiger of tbe Snows" about the
conquest of lit. Everest appears in paper
backs almost simultaneously with permanent
editions. Religious and inspirational litera
ture by the Reverends Sheen and Peale stand
aide by aide on tbe rackj along with folk-'
song collections, recipe books, "how-to"
guides, end the perennial best-seller, Spock's
"Baby and Child Care."
For $5 the price of one good hardcover
the average family can read from ten to
20 paperbacks with content of enduring value.
Wouldn't we rather have one good book to .
add with pride to our livingroom shelves
than humbly read 20 easily destructible but
memorable paperbacks? No. And we resent
any threat to the convenience of picking up
a piece of the world's best thought at the
super-market along with the peanut butter
and tomatoes. (M.W.W.)

That was a strange sequence of events
which brought death to a woman of 83 in

And Stevenson not only wanted

to trounce the Republicans. He
longs ta show his critics that he
too can be a popular candidate.
Above all, although he still has

have fruitlessly pleaded with him
to suppress. Perhaps he will
even continue to reject the use
of the teleprompter, reading his
speeches in the old fashioned
way, and so presenting the na
tional television audience with an
inspiring panorama of his glca
ing, foreshortened bald spot.
But these things are trifles.

What matters second is that he
is willing and even eager to spare
no effort in the campaign. Tbe
whole theme of the Stevenson
campaign, in fact, is to be the
people's choice seeking out the
people wherever they are. While
the President makes his six or
eight television speeches, Steven
son is to be in almost perpetual
motion, beating the bushes for
votes in every bosky dell and
back ,alley where votes may be
concealed. The idea, tn fact, is
to present a contrast between the
perspiring, energetic and vital
Stevenson and President Eisen
hower, White House-bound by his
illnesses, with a lingering doubt
about his health always hanging
over him.
Finally, Stevenson has also
reallxed the great truth that a
politician does not become a
teacher until he is in office. He
no longer wants to lecture the
people on what he thinks they
ought to hear. He is desperately
anxious to talk to the people
about the problems that matter
to them. And he has already
shown he can do it, in California
for instance.
Altogether, this very able, very
shrewd, - exceedingly courageous
and honoroble man has learned
politician's trade. He does not
have much time to put himself
across. But the Democratic lead
ers who think Stevenson cannot
put himself across, like those
described in the last report in
this space, may still be due for a
big surprise.

with the nominees and with the
speakers and with others who
had a part in the great assembly.
The campaigning this year will
employ neW media of communi
cation more than ever. The 1928
campaign was the first in which
radio was extensively used. This
wilt be the second presidential
election in which television com
mands a national audience. The
techniques now are geared to the
new' mechanics hence Chair
man Rayburn limited floor dem
onstrations to 20 minutes. For the
next 34 months the American
people will go through the pro
cess of electing a President and
Vice President, as well as other
officials. Candidates and their
supporters will invoke the means,
new and old, to reach the minds
and hearts of voters, hoping 'o
be the chosen instruments tor rule
in the ensuing political term.
It's a long way from lM. but
the decision rests now as then,
In the votes ef the American
people.
