Ireland Losing Population
A recent debate between Irish Republicans in the Dail Eire-
tun (rarnameni; snows that party leaders are seriously alarm
id over the gradual depopulation of the country. Speakers
include Prime Minister John A. Costello, and the leader of the
opposition, Eamon De Valera, former president, and others

cconomis difficulties that Ireland has been facing. ' .
Costello said that it was the attraction of Britain with her
Higher standard of living and steadv lobs that lures Irismcn
Perhaps it is due also to the fanatical isolationist and non
cooperative spirit Ireland has shown since her independence
and the lack of enterprise and initiative that characterize those

It is admitted that a sense of gloom, but not defeatism
characterize the Irish of today in the homeland, but leaders
are said to have a sense of realism absent in the past and are
starting to do something. They will have to do it themselves
for they won't let others do it. '
The census taken last April shows Ireland's population is at
the lowest figure ever recorded 2,894,822, a net decline of
65,771 from 1951.
The decline was not attributed to decline in births but to
emigration. . Births exceeded deaths in the five years by 134,
623. ' But the marriage rale is low and the age of those marry-

of the rate in England and Wales.
The net number of those who emigrated in the 1951-56
penoa rose irom 119,063 to 200,394, an average of 40,078
persons a year, higher than any year since 1881. G. P.
Dam Construction To Go On
The last hope of the Hells Canyoniles of halting construction
work on the Idaho Power company Snake river dams in the
near future evaporated Wednesday when Justice Black of the
U.S. Supreme Court refused to issue an order to this effect.
Black had indicated that he would take this position, but lie
exacted a price. The company was required to sign an agree
ment not to sue the government if its license from the Federal
Power commission is invalidated by the courts and it also
posted a three million dollar bond, to help pay the government
for removing its dams from the river, insofar as they would ob
struct construction of a high dam later.
The Hells Canyon people professed to doubt the ability or
willingness of the company to do this, but the company met
Black's terms, evidently confident its license will be upheld
by the courts, whose decisions may be several months hence.
Therefore its work will go on.
If the government should ever decide to build a high dam
it can do so any time but it will have to compensate the com
pany for its investment in the canyon. Tho agreement Just
signed Is effective only it tho license Is voided by the courts.
It Is doubtful if the improbable election of a Democratic
president In November would change this picture, for the
Senate has shown that it will not pass a Hells Canyon dam
bill. Meanwhile the first two Idaho Power dams will be com
pleted and producing power. After that it is extremely un
likely that any administration would be silly enough to destroy
an investment of upwards of $150,000,000 in order to spend
three times as much to do the same job.
Adlai's Strategy Vindicated
Adlai Stevenson was wise, as it turned out, in leaving to
the convention the selection of 'a vice presidential candidate.
His decision was bitterly opposed by as shrewd a political oper
ator as Speaker Rayburn, chairman of the convention.
Had Stevenson indicated his choice the man would have
been named, but there would. havo been bitlerness among
those passed over. As it was this was avoided.. There was
as fair and open a race as there ever can be In a convention,
some of whose delegates are controlled by bosses. But most
of the delegates must have voted their choices, as the many
splits within delegations indicated.
Whether the party got its strongest availbale man is ex
tremely questionable. We can think of several better quali
fied. But it was seeking first of all a strong candidate and it
got one. Further, everyone likes a "horse race" and this
contest was much more thrilling than that for top spot, which
Stevenson had pretty well sewed up before the voting began.
They Make Themselves Useful
A local organization that isn't content with meetings for
the edification of its members, but is making itself very
useful to the public, is the Marion County Historical Society.
Just on the press is a Marion County History, volume 11.
It Is a small book of 62 pages, paper-bound, which detracts
nothing from its value as a book to be placed on any reference
shelf in schools, libraries and offices, or In the bookcase at
home. It is full of interesting articles by society members
and featured are covered bridge pictures by Ben Maxwell
which have attracted a lot of attention, Mirpah Blair, who was
for many years assistant Oregon state librarian, is editor and
Sylvia Kraps associate editor.
Here are the main contents ot the book. The titles arc
intriguing:
Covered Bridges in Marion County, by Ben Maxwell; The
Penitentiary, Our First Institution, Sgt: J. R. Johnson; Wil
lamette, Oldest in the West, Kenneth Lottick; The Story of

NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG
yomen Being Wooed by Both
Democrats and Republicans
By RAY TUCKER
WASHINGTON, August 21-The
prominence and headline role ac
corded (o women in the proceed
ings of both the Republican and
Democratic national convention is
no accident. More than at any
time since they obtained suffrage
in 1920, the women will he wooed
by the two major parties in won
drous ways.
Economic statistics help (o ex
plain this new concern with the
feminine element of the electorate,
They show that more women are
working now than ever before.
that they own more property than
men, especially securities, and
that their handling of the house'
hold budget gives them a singular
interest in politics and economics
So have two world wars into which
they sent their sons, and hus
bunds.
Women's Political Importance
In short, the politicos believe.
women have come of economic age
well as political age. Magazines
generally devotrd to feminine to
pics fashions, foods, house deco
rations have found it necessary to
run articles on public affairs and
personalities. The "woman's

F.D.R. and President Eisenhower
thought it wise to include a WO'
man in their Cabinets.
women's political importance,
although it was not realized or
publicized at the time, was respon
sible for President Eisenhower's
approval of two measures which
he had opposed. They were the
proposals fixing $1 as the mini
mum wage per hour (Ike had fa
vored 90 cents), and lowering to
62 the age at which women may
collect partial Social Security pay
ments. '
Republican research informed
the White. House that it is women
doing part-time or full-time work
who would benefit most from the
SI per hour minimum. Although
this standard applies only to peo
ple engaged in interstate com
merce occupations, it has (ended

about 500,000 women will take ad

With their husbands, relatives and

ber of voters.
It is true that Capitol Hill Demo
crats forced both the 1 minimum
wage and the 62-year Social Se
curity progra.n upon the Adminis
tration. The opposition will not for.
get to mention this fact in its
campaign speeches and advertis
ing, seeking to obtain what ballot-
box good will it can because of
its legislative efforts.
But, the Republicans will reply.
it was President Eisenhower who
approved this legislation, bowing
to the will of the Congressional
majority and political evidence,
and put it into effect. And, so
hopes Republican National Chair
man Leonard W. Hall, the bene
ficiaries will be thankful to Ike
for immediate favors received,
and forget that basic credit should
go to the Democrats at the eastern
end of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Wooing1 Feminine Bloc
In their wooing of the feminine
bloc, the Republicans admittedly
suffer because they nave nobody
to match such a greatly admired
and respected woman as Eleanor
Roosevelt. Her moderate advice
behavior at the Democrats' na
tional convention erased many
bitter memories which her conduct
as "First Lady" had stirred.
Ambassador Clare Boothe Luce
will not fill the 'role. She is too
sharp longucd, aristocratic and
controversial, in the opinion of
GOP strategists. She is not a
moderate or middle-of-the-road
personality. She blasted the Mar
shall Plan and subsequent foreign
aid programs as "globaloncy,"
whereas Ike has expanded these
Roosevelt' - Truman systems of
loans and grants. She will siesta
in Rome.
So, Ike's offset to Eleanor will
be "Mamie." She will accompany
him on all his campaign trips, and
appear with him discreetly, of
course on all of his television pro
grams.

Stevenson Acceptance Speech
Seen as Possible Boomerang
By DAVID LAWRENCE
The Big Democratic Loser
Stevenson and Kefauvcr were the winners at Chicago and
the greatest loser was equally apparent. ,lt was Harry Tru
man, not Harriman or the other candidates for president,
who never had much chance and lost no prestige.
Truman, who prides himself on being an expert political
operator ana a greai "eider statesman, took a terrible beating
He endorsed a candidate without helping that candidate a
particle. He took a stand on the civil rights plank with the
faction he opposed when lie endorsed Hnrrimsn and which he
has steadily opposed, the moderates who look to Stevenson for
leadership. Actually his endorsement of Harriman will help
Stevenson by freeing him from tho "Trumanlsm" handicap
he struggled with in 1952. The only damage he did was in
providing the Republicans a weapon when lie expressed the
belief that Stevenson cannot win.
Truman had no business mixing up In this family fight and
b (ot the traditional punishment meted out to those who do.
It eught to shut him up "for the duration" though It probably
won't. Even If the Democrats could keep him buttoned the
Republicans will be sure to needle him Into bellowing.
We are intrigued by people who lend a quiet dignity to
their Jobs and try to avoid an offensive attitude toward other
people. For instance the polite young man who has twice
Mfcbtd tte Mm lot to Stitm mi pun, .
Independent voters of the country
is that "the Republicans got us
out of the war in Korea and nave
kopt the country at peace."
Forty-five per cent of Independ
ent voters told Institute reporters
that, In their case, this was
strong argument for voting Re
publican in November. ,
On the other hand, the argument
used by Republican party spokes
men to the effect that "the Repub
licans have cleaned up the mess
in Washington left by the Demo
crats" carries the least weight
with Independents, or "shift"
voters.
This is the evidence which comes
from the latest Institute survey of
public thinking on the appeals
which Democrats and Republicans
are using to win voters. Obviously,
these appeals are aimed chiefly at
the all-important bloc of Independ
ents, without whose support neither
party can win.
As reported Friday, Independ
ent votors rate the Democratic
claim that "the Republican party
is the party for big business and
forgets tlie working people" as the
Democrats strongest argument,
while the argument that "lite Re
publican lorcign policy is all mixed
up and lias mado enemies for the
U. S. throughout the world" was
rated the least effective of four
major Democratic arguments.
In today's survey, each Inde
pendent voter was handed a card
stating four Republican campaign
arguments. The four were named
by GOP county chairmen, polled
by the Institute, as the arguments
they thought would be the most
effective ones against the Demo
crats In their respective counties
in 10S6.
Here is how Independent voters
rale each of the four Republican
arguments tested in today's sur
vey:
1. The Republicans got us out
of Korea and have kept the coun
try at pence.
Independent voters Included In
the survey voted 45 per cent that
this is a strong campaign argu
ment (or voting Republican, 39 per
cent say It is a weak argument
and 16 per cent have no opinion.
t. The Itrpithllrnna have hnl
anrett the budget nntl rut taxes.
A total ot "H per cent of Inde
pendent voters interviewed sny this
is a strong argument, 58 per cent
Democratic voters.
On the other hand, regular Re
publican voters see two of the tour
arguments as particularly effective
this year against the Democrats
the argument that the Republi
can party got us out of Korea and
has kept the country at peace and
also the argument that the GOP
has brought the highest level of
prospenly in history to America.
In the companion survey re
ported Friday, -42 per cent ot In
dependents considered the strong
est Democratic argument to be the
one that the Republicans favor big
business and forget the working
people. ,
The plight of the. farmer under
the GOP was called a strong argu
ment by 31 per cent, the argument
that Eisenhower Is only a part
time President was cited as a
strong one by 27 per cent, and
the 'hot and cold' GOP foreign
policy was regarded as a strong
argument by 24 per cent o Inde

A Smile or Two
ly and with less ol
the abstractions of
the "high brow" style which caused
so many politicians in his own
party to remark that he talks
over the head of his audiences.
Unfortunately, the Democratic
Presidential nominee in his
speech of acceptance started out
by knocking his own country a
mistake in politics". Most voters
at the grass-roots level don't like
to hear any American of prom
inence, especially a candidate for
the Presidency, saying that the
prestige of the United States
abroad "has probably never been
lower." ' Nor do many ot them
think it is either patriotic or help
ful for such a spokesman to say
that "we are losing the cold war"
as if an intangible such as
prestige or- the variations of
Communist behavior in tho world
can be measured on the thermom
eter of a political party seeking to
get back into power.
Yet the newly chosen Demo
cratic nominee declared that "we
must move rapidly to repair the
ravages of the past four years to
America's repute and influence
abroad." But how? Will it be done
by war, or by sabre-rattling and
bluster, or by appeasement and,
if not, then by what method can
the unscrupulous men in the
Kremlin be mode to stop their
insidious infiltration into the gov
ernments of the free world, in
cluding those of the "uncommit
ted" nations? Grnnls of money
and bigger foreign aid programs
have not done it so far, as Yugo
slavia or India or Indonesia or
Egypt might be cited to prove.
Just four years ago, more
over, General Eisenhower and John
Foster Dulles were speaking in the
campaign about the need for lib
crating" the satellite countries
from Communist enslavement, but
the word "liberation" was prompt
ly seiied upon by Stevenson him
self and by former Secretary of
State Acheson as forecasting a
"war of liberation." Now the Dem
ocratic nominee, apparently aware
of the voting power of various
groups of American citizens of an
cestral origin in Ihe countries of
eastern Europe, says:
"V" must help other peoples out
of Communist or colonial servi
tude along the hard road to freedom."
Rut how by force or by the
peaceful methods ol diplomacy
which are today the theme of the
Eisenhower Dulles policies? This
question Is likely lo be asked again
and again in the coming cam
paign." There was another passage,
however, whieh will later on rise
realizing that during the campaign
of 1956 the Democratic National
Committee and its auxiliary com
mittees also would have to use ad
vertising, prepared by advertising
men, in order to reach the many
millions of voters not reachable
by personal canvass or by ringing
doorbells.
The Stevenson speech laments
the fact that there are still "30
million Americans" in families
with incomes under $2,000 a year.
He didn't say that this represents
only 8.3 million families and un
attached individuals and that the
corresponding figure was 11.3 mil
lions when the Democrats were in
power in 1950. Nor did he mention
that there are in America today a
record total of 23 million families
with Incomes above $5,000 a year.
The Democratic nominee did
concede, nevertheless, that "this
is' the age of abundance" and
argued.that "the quality of living"
could be improved "now that the
terrible, grinding anxieties of daily
bread, of clothing and shelter, are
disappearing." That's quite an ad
mission for a candidate to make
who earlier in the speech had
made as his major point against
the Republicans the assertion that
everyone is not prosperous. .
But what did Adlai mean when
he said in this speech: "Once we-1
were not ashamed in this country
to be idealists"? Not content with
that cryptic statement, Mr. Stev
enson went on to say:
"Once we were proud to con
fess that an American is a man
who yants peace and believes in a
better future and loves his fellow
man. If we must reclaim tnese
great Christian and humane ideas,
we must dare to say again that the
American cause is the cause of all
mankind."
Haven't President Eisenhower
and a host of government officials
uttered, this same thought time
and again in the last three years
or more? Maybe the key to what's
running through Stevenson s mind
is to be found in another sen
tence in his speech, when he ex
claims: '
"There doesn't appear to be
much ardor in America just now
for anvthine." For that reason, he
suggests that "it's time to elect
a Democratic administration and
a Democratic Congress."
Adlai Stevenson may have put
his finger on the biggest political
fact looming up in this campaign
the apathy of the voters. Their lack
of ardor may mean that there is
economic contentment in the na
tion and, on the whole, satisfaction
with things as they are. Maybe the
Republicans will be stimulated to
indulge in a little of the ardor of
yesteryears and dust off some old
slogans which the Democrats used
so effectively: "You Never Had It
So Good Don't Rock the Boat It's
Not the Time for Change."

POOR MAN'S PHILOSOPHER
American Housovife Leads
In Crime of Shoplifting
NEW YORK W The Ameri
can housewife, who has many
virtues, also leads the nation in
one form of crime shoplifting.
Light-fingered customers cost
department and specialty stores
at least 300 minion aouars a year,
and probably much more.
"The greatest loss comes from
the housewife.'' said Mrs. Mary
Congemi, one of the nation's top
store detectives. sne is a goon
customer in many ways. She pays
her bills, keeps up her charge
accounts but she steals, too.
"And if she keeps at it she
soon learns all the tricks of the
professionals.
Mrs. Congemi, special agent for
William F. Alexander, a former
infantry officer who acta as a se
curity consultant for 34 depart
meat stores throughout the Unit
ed States, has caught nearly 5,-
000 shoplifters in the last 10
years.
"Most shoplifters are a m a
teurs," she said, "but the ama
teurs account for 75 per cent of
the losses.
"They range In age from 1 8 to
80. A lot are teen-agers, but most
are housewives between 20 and
40."
Women shoplifters outnumber
men at least five to one. But in
either sex the person who actual
ly steals from hunger is unusual.
Many people believe that most
shoplifters suffer from kleptoma
nia, or an irresistible compulsion
to take something that doesn't be
long to them, whether they have
any real need for it or not. Mrs.
Congemi grimly says this is pure
legend. ,
Kleptomania, if there really is
such a thing, is very rare," she
said. "I've never encountered a
kleptomaniac. Shoplifters simply
want something for nothing.
Ibey often have the muddled
idea that taking something from
a big department store really is
not stealing. They don't under
stand the real moral issue until
they are caught.
But 1 11 say this about the av
erage housewife who turns am
ateur shoplifter. Once she has
been caught, even though mav
have stolen many times before,
she usually swears off forever."
Shoplifters are common in all
walks of society, from the slum
kid to the wealthy dowager.
Kecently, in a single men s
store here the following were
picked up for shoplifting within
a 20-day period: An insurance
doctor's wife, a factory owner,
the manager of another store, and
a federal employe.
Mrs. Congemi, dark-haired and
attractive, is married to a lock
smith and has two children.
Recently Max Hess, owner of
an Allentown, Pa., department
store, gave a training course in
shoplifting techniques to 1,600 em
ployes. Then, to put them to the test,

The Girl of Your Dreams
St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Joseph Schultz has got every
thing all fixed up.
He s a research chemist in the
cosmetic industry, and he's sure
that science is .on the threshold
of some exciting discoveries that
will make every American girl a
technicolor knockout.
Joe points out that today's face
powder, lipstick and eye shadow
ore good, but a girl doesn't get
too much mileage out of them. If
she doesn't get a new paint job
every couple of hours, she begins
to look like last year's model.
He feels sure the men of sci
ence laboring in the chemical
laboratories can come up with
something better. Say a semi
permanent makeup that a girl
can apply with the knowledge
that it will stay fresh for days.
Joe, no diplomat, says this
would make . American women
easier to look at in the morning.
Semi-permanent make-up, he
says, would not wash off with
soap and water. But, he adds, it
will come off easily by other
means. Perhaps, we suppose, with
paint remover.
Best of all, with this techno
logical break-through will come
other bold departures from the
past. Chemist Schultz thinks the
ladies may go lor a little livelier
color scheme. He suggests, for
example, that they may be wear
ing blue lips, green hair and an
orange complexion by 2000 A.D
Of course, as he points put, the
combinations are endless.
And now, would somebody
please lead Mr. Schultz back to
his laboratory?
Meanwhile, we'll go out and
look for a sweet, old-fashioned
girl. You know, the kind with
red lips and their own ntpral
colored hair.

to see what she could shoplift.
"In an hour and a half I filled
three shopping bags with more
than $400 worth of merchandise,"
she recalled. "I had lifted every
thing from ash trays to expensive
dresses."
Wearing a mask over her head
to hide her identity, Mrs. Conge
mi then confronted the sales per
sonnel at a specially called meet
ing and showed them the results
of her safari through the store.
"Salespeople themselves don't
appreciate the extent of shoplift
ing until you actually show them
what can be done," she said, and
cited the ease of one 20-year-old
girl who stole sportswear valued
at $20,000 from one store in a
single season.
One other odd fact about shop
lifting: "It reaches Its peak around the
two greatest religious holidays
Christmas and Easter," said Mrs.
Congemi.
