Harold L essen
plays Major Role
At Peace Parley
By Lyle C. Wilson
(United Preu Staff Correspondent)
'San Francisco, May 7 IP The
United Nations conference is
making American political his
tory today with the emergence
oi ia. tmar. tiaroid K. stassen as
tne powerhouse of the American
delegation.
He is junior member in every-
ining except political significance.
Stassen plays his role here before
a picked audience of American
newsmen and top flight politi
cians from all over the world. He
is Judged by observers to be mov
ing fast toward rail -position in
tne i48 race tor republican presi
dential nomination.
Stassen is 38 years old. He was
first elected governor of Minne
sota when only 31. Campaigning
jor re-eiection alter tne war be
gan, Stassen told the voters that
he would resign shortly to join
the navy and he did so. leaving his
political organization in the cap
able hands of Edward J. Thye
who moved up from the lieuten
ant governorship.
Stassen Makes Bun
For the record, Stassen made a
campaign for the 1944 republican
presidential nomination, some
thing like the front porch strategy
invented by William B. 'McKinley.
The difference; however, was that
Stassen's front porch was the
bridge of Admiral William F. Hal
sey's flagship in the navy's hell
for leather task force 58.
With his status as a war vet
eran firmly established in the
navy's tremendous sweep through
the Pacific, Stassen's backers fig
' ure him as better than merely a
1948 challenge to Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York.
Observers here who were famil
iar with the shrewd logic with
which Franklin Delano Roosevelt
approached all political problems
are wondering if the late presi
dent will not in the end prove to
have been the major factor - in
selecting both the republican and
democratic presidential nominees
in 1948.
Truman Favored
Barring almost inconceivable
developments, President Truman
will be the democratic choice next
time. Stassen's prospects were
pretty good but not glittering af
ter the somewhat fumbling, pre
convention campaign made for
him last year by Sen. Joseph H.
Ball, R., Minn. Ball is a 40-year-old
newspaper reporter who was
named to the senate by Stassen to
fill a vacancy. He plugged his
man's cause at the republican na
tional convention long after it was
lost. Later In the campaign he
committed a political sin not
readily forgiven. He bolted the re
publican party to . support Mr.
Roosevelt's candidacy.
Stassen was not responsible for
Ball's bolt but he shared some of
the blame because Ball was his
man. Dewey, in defeat, counted
himself the spokesman of the re
publican party. Stassen was at
sea and was in the way of being
pretty well forgotten by the pub
lic. When Mr. Roosevelt named him
as a member of the American
Wounded VeteranstatAitf UNCIO.

Vhttt were no more vitally Interested spectators, at a plenary session of the San Francisco Conference, than
these wounded army and navy veterans who attended the meeting as guests of honotv -
delegation to this conference it
was with the knowledge that
whatever negotiable prestige
might accrue to republicans on
the delegation, Stassen would be
the only one In a position to cash
in big.
Mr. Roosevelt did not nice uov.
Dewey politically. What his per
sonal feelings may have been
have no particular significance
now. But .it is becoming increas
ingly evident here that the nam
ing of Stassen to this conference
has given the young man from
Minnesota a pretty opportunity to
demand a share of party leader
ship from the New York gover
nor. Mr. Roosevelt was not one to
miss a bet and it seems reasonable
to believe that he carefully plant
ed Stassen in Dewey's path to
ward the 1948 republican nomina
tion: SUIl Has Chance
If the conference becomes a po
litical liability, Stassen still has
had his chance at national public
ity. Furthermore, he is a strong
minded young fellow who may be
expected to speak his mind right
out in public if things do not go
here as he thinks they should. The
chances of Stassen getting any
thing but a big boost toward po
litical stardom are fairly remote.
Furthermore Dewey apparent
ly has been in part committed to
the proceedings here by the same
shrewd brain that conceived of
Stassen as a delegate. It is under
stood that Mr. Roosevelt was a
party to arrangements which
have put John Foster Dulles in a
position of great responsibility
here. Dulles was and is Dewey's
adviser on foreign relations. He
also is the adviser of the Ameri
can delegation here. He has an
office in the Fairmont hotel ;
alongside the American delegates .
and he sits in on their huddles.
If this conference is the success
picture. From here Stassen is ex
pected to return to Halsey's flag
ship. There he will add detail to
the question which is sure to be
shouted from the 1948 campaign
speech crowds. They will be ask
ing: "Hey, Buddy, what did you do
in the war?"

Ex-Bend Man Gefs Bronze Star
For Worlcon Span Over Rhine
How MSgt. M. E. ("Mike")
Walsh, former chief Inspector for
the U. S. bureau of reclamation In
Bend, won the bronze star for sur
veying and assisting in the com
pletion of the first bridge across
the Rhine in nine and one-half
days, is told in a letter received
by friends in the bureau from the
army engineer. Sgt. Walsh is a
member of the 147 engineers,
and dated his letter from "east of
the Rhine."
While here,! Sgt. Walsh was
chief Inspector on the headworks
for the North Unit Irrigation ca
na, and the Crane Prairie and
Wickiup outlet works. He has
been In Europe since the invasion
of Normandy last June. He wrote
in part:
"I had charge of the survey for
the Rhine river bridge. We built
it in nine and one-half days. Gen.
Patton was there for the cere
monies, and the bridge was dedi
cated as the F. D. Roosevelt Me
morial bridge. We had a celebra
tion and as we found some Rhine
wine about 50,000 gallons the
party was really a success."
Said by his local friends to have
written the following with a pos
sible view of making American
women envious, Sgt. Walsh con
tinued: "The people here are well
dressed, especially the women,
wearing silk stockings. '
"There Is a lot of livestock and
I don't think the people are too
hard up. They try to be friendly,
but we know they hate us and we
have no love for them. Especially
after seeing at least one of their
concentration camps. Now ttyey
proclaim their innocence. . .
"Oh, yes. On March 5 a general
pinned the bronze star on my
manly bosom."
Sgt. Walsh said that other en
gineers had estimated it would
take at least three and one-half
months to complete the bridge
the first permanent one across
the Rhine which his men com
pleted in nine and one-half days.

High Court Rules
On Portal Wages j
Washington, May 7 P The su
preme court ruled today that the
federal wage-hour law requires
soft coal miners to be paid por-
tai-to-portai travel-time wages.
The court made the ruling In a
5 to 4 decision in the case of the
Jewell Ridge Coal Corp., operator
, of two bituminous mines in south
'west Virginia. The firm had ap
pealed from a decision of the
fourth circuit court of appeals
holding that coal miners must be
paid portal-to-portal wages.
Murphy Writes Decision
The decision was written by
Justice Frank Murphy. Justice
Robert H. Jackson's lengthy dis
sent was signed by Chief Justice
Harlan F. Stone and Justices
Owen J. Roberts and Felix Frank
furter. -
The miners, represented by the
United Mine Workers (CIO), ar
gued that the supreme court had
established portal to portal as a
rule of law when it held last year
that the wage-hour act covered
travel time for iron ore miners.
They contended that ho legal dis
tinction could be drawn between
working conditions in the iron ore
and the coal mines.
