SMEARING F.D.R.
Four years ago Franklin Roosevelt, after clearing it with
Sydney, selected Harry Truman is his running mate on the
democratic ticket. Other possible choices were Henry Wal
lace and James F. Byrnes. They were rejected, Wallace be
cause he would weaken the ticket in the south and the border
states and Byrnes because he was unpopular with labor. Tru
man got the nod from Roosevelt because the president be
lieved tnat the man Irom Missouri would bring votes to the
party.
In our American political system such a selection of a can
didate for the vice-presidency is the customary thing. The
nominee is chosen not because he is regarded as best fitted
to become president if a vacancy occurs. He gets on the ticket
because it is believed that he will help bring victory.
So it was with Harry Truman and if the thinking that led
to his selection was sound then it is equally sound to assert
that Roosevelt's election in 1944 was due in some degree to
Truman. Roosevelt, in either words, felt that he could not win
with anyone. Accordingly, he made the choice with' an eye
out ror tne mam chance.
All this being so the recent effort of the late president's
oldest son, James, to prevent Truman's nomination for the
presidency m his own right seems particularly ungrateful and
politically indecent. It was James a father who was resnon
sible for Truman and Truman helped elect James's father. In
trying to ditch Truman James not only weakens the demo
cratic party but smears his father a judgment.
THE EISENHOWER SYLLOGISM
The books on logic now have available a new syllogism to
include among their examples of this form of reasoning. It
develops out of Eisenhower's statement of last Friday that
he would not accept the democratic nomination for the presi
dency in which occurred the sentence, "My decision is
based upon my sincere conviction as to the best interest of our
country." It would run something like this :
"It is agreed that proposals to nominate me for the presi
dency grow out of the fact that Truman is not the man to win
over Dewey.
"The best interests of the country forbid my acceptance of
the nomination and so Truman will be named.
"1 want Dewey to win."
A couple of weeks ago President Truman was icported be
lieving that Governor Dewey would be the toughest opponent
the republican party could put up against him. As things now
stand the man that many democrats think cannot win is up
against the candidate he thinks he will have a hard time to
beat. That's satisfactory.
Washington
Column
By Peter Editon
The great riddle as the demo
cratic convention opens Is how to
Close it. snail i-resldent Truman
be brought up here Irom Wash
ington to thrill the revolting
ranks of his party with one of his
now-famous off-the-cuff demon
strations of his dynamic personal
ity, and send the rebels home re
united to do and die for the ticket
of Truman and Blank? Roose
velt did that in 1936, with a mass
rally in the stadium next to con
vention hall.
Those in charge of this conven
tion 'for Truman principally J.
Howard McGrath the niillonnl
chairman nnd Sergeant at arms
Leslie Bifflo apparently haven't
made up their minds on,this mo
mentous question.
The alternative to having the
president make his acceptance
speech in- Philadelphia is "to have
him go back to independence,
Mo., and be formally notified of
his nomination there.' You can
imagine the scene:
The president would casually
announce that he was going home
for a few days' rest. He would be
sitting on the porch In his shirt
sleeves and slippers, and with his
television make up on. When all
of a sudden, who should come
down the street hut a committee
of distinguished clems.
The band would wheel up and
render a few bars of Beethoven's
Kiflh you know, dlt, tilt, rill, dna
the old war-time V for Victory.
!One of the delegation would then
step forward and read a piece,
: saying that at a recent spontane
i qus gathering of disinterested and
i unbiased public citizens In the
City of Brotherly Love, it had
been u nanimously decided to run
Judge Truman for the presidency.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
Nobody would be prepared for
this event except for 1,000 news
papermen, photographers, the
nowsroels, the radio spielers and
recorder and all the democrats
within a day's driving distance of
Independence.
Judge Truman, blushing mod
estly, would then deliver a few
Impromptu remarks carefully
prepared in advance by his ghost
writers to make sure he dedicated
the spot to the right guy this time
meaning to himte.f.
The supposed advantages to
this program arc that It would
add a homey, down in old Mo. i
touch to what Is starting out ns a j
pretty sordid and soggy conven-i
tion. Also, It would give the dele- j
gates time In which to go home I
and patch up their wounds and !
feud-shattered friendships.
lhe objection to this program'
Is that it would be an open con- j
fession that the president didn't i
dare face an unfriendly reception i
from all the disappointed and dis- !
credited people who tried to stop:
him.
This Includes A.D.A. leaders
I.eon Henderson and Walter j
Humphrey; Jimmy Roosevelt of!
California; southern Senatorsll
Claude i'epper, Lister Hill, John
Sparkman and Olin Johnston;
southern Governors J. Strom
Thurmond, Fielding Wright and
William Tuck; city bosses Jake
Arvey of Chicago and Frank
Hague of Jersey City.
Where all of these people nnd
their followers are going from
here is a mystery. They represent
a lot of ancient prejudices and
phobias about states' rights, civil
rights, liberalism, Catholicism
and every other Ism. The die-hard
fanatics who hold their varied be
liefs have been threatening to
walk out of the democratic party
lor years. This time they rave so
much and so loud they'll either
have to take their walk or keep
their peace forever more. The
only man who can pull all these
pieces of humpty-dumpty togeth
er again is the party's candidate
for the presidency. What this
convention needs is a big lift.
When this was suggested to
Chairman McGrath he asked.
"What do you mean. Have the
president come up here for the
opening?"

FCN'NY BUSINESS
(Klamath Herald and News)
An Associated Press story tell
ing how a number of Idaho cities
are enriching their coffers by
taking a 50-50 split from slot ma
chine operations has caused a
flurry of interest here. Several
persons. Including a city -official
or two, have suggested that may
be something of the Kind could
be done here.
That makes us laugh. Any such
realistic approach to the slot ma
chine problem in Oregon always
runs up against legal and emo
tional barriers.
Klamath's representative Hen
ry Semon knows all about that.
He sponsored a bill in the legis
lature to tax slot machines. If
they are going to run, he said.
a big chunk of the profits should
go into tne public treasury. 1 ne
bill didn't get anywhere.
Mr. bemon also observed that
race horse bookies were very ac
tive in the state including Klam
ath Falls). He got a bill passed
taxing them. The governor ve
toed it.
Whenever there is such an hon
est attempt to get for the public
some of the cash that flows
through slot machines, there is
Immediate opposition from two
contrasting sources: the good peo
ple who are opposed to gambling,
and the other people who are
profiting from the present set-up
without having to diwy up with
anybody.
t urthermore, there is a consti
tutional provision in Oregon
which has been consistently inter
preted as prohlbitiang slot ma
chines, which are in effect a me
chanical lottery. The way it
works out in Oregon, this provi
sion doesn't prohibit slot ma
chines, but prohbits the collection

get money from the slots, as is
done in Idaho, an amendment
should be offered to the state con
stitution which would make slot
machines legal. This amendment
would draw the opposition of
church groups, slot machine
racketeers, and a lot of people
who will put their nickels in the
Illegal machines but don't think
they ought to be legalized. If the
amendment could be passed in
spite of this heterogeneous oppo
sition, steps could then be taken
to siphon off a good chunk of
slot machine profits for state and
local treasuries.

A tavern owner here put his
money "on ice" at closing time,
but the Marion county sheriff's,

Sheriff Denver Young said a '
burglar entered the town tavern ,
early Monday morning and took
5X50 in cash from the establish-;
ment's walk-in ice box, where the j
nrnorietor said he put it for
safe keeping.
More than 3,000.000 air ship
ments weighing 46.b94.9ti6 pounds
were handed on domestic air lines
last year, an increase of 16.3 per
cent over 1945.
