'Don't Push, Please' The country's first political circus of the sum mer is now history and what happened at the GOP convention could very possibly make some history too. Thousands of words have been written during the past week or so describing the events of the week trying to explain why and how Senator Taft flubbed bis best, and probably last, chance for the White House and it is doubtful that we could add anything very constructive. We couldn't help but notice though, regardless of all the expla i ;,M(.i,s '.I why and how Elsenhower won the nominal ion, that to us the real reason behind Ike's victory was the dislike of the delegates at having a few tell the many what they must do and who they must vole for in other words, they rebelled at .steamroller tactics whether they were in their own party or the democratic. There was no doubt that Eisenhower was the more popular of the two candidates, but until the convention wheels got rolling there was a lot of doubt as to whether the popular choice was going to be nominated. The high-handed methods hurt Taft, and came very nearly hurting the Re publican party, too. However, when the ballot was taken and Eisenhower was named, Taft showed himself to be a much bigger man than did a good many of the men around him. Of course the defeat hurt him deeply, he had spent many months, in fact years, fighting for this chance, but when the General won, he was big enough to offer his help to see that Eisenhower won in November many of his helpers and work ers couldn't gracefully accept defeat. If morals ever had a primary part in any con vention, it did in this one. There were many Eisenhower followers who felt certain Taft had enough strength to bull his way through to vic tory, and we were among that group. What most of them hoped for, but actually doubled if they would see it happen, was just what did occur. People don't mind being led, in fact most of them like it, but they don't want to be pushed. ' In Chicago last week the people rose up and said "quit your pushing." Could it be that de cision is a tip for the November campaigners?

"AMERICANS DON'T CARE" Americans are indifferent to what is happening in Russia be hind the "iron curtain", Dr. Bohus Benes told his audience in Salem this week. "Americans just don't care they let their politicians do it, and they don't care either," he said. Several slate officials, include ing legislators from over the state were in the audience that ap plauded Bones, a nephew of for mer President Edward Benes of Czechoslovakia. "If the Russians are convinced that the United Slates is suffi ciently armed lo handle the st illa tion, they will not invade. They are not going to start a third world war if they feel there is t lie slightest possibility of being de feated."

HEPPNER BRANCH FIRST NATIONAL BANK S 0 PORTLAND "lir HALO OMOON rOOfrMM"? Maui nam enow inwci cwouiion New radio relay to Seattle extends coast-to-coast telecasts to all the West in time for the conventions. "Live" TV now spans the West New radio relay brings convention tele casts to all West Coast viewers On July 7th,the Bell System's radio relay system and coaxial cables enabled the TV networks to bring the Republican Convention to the nation's television viewers who will also see the Demo cratic Convention on July 21st. It is now possible for all West Coast TV stations from San Diego to Seattle to carry these important national events as they happen. To accomplish this, Pacific Telephone engineers made special changes in the coaxial cable between Sacramento and Portland. They also rushed the installation of a new radio relay link from Portland to Seattle so both could be used together for the transmission of televi sion network programs over this 745 mile route. io r Your telephone is one of today's best bargains The nationwide radio relay system is only one example of how we are constantly im proving telephone service while holding the cost of service down keeping it so low, in fact, that a telephone call remains one of today's best buys in any budget your home's or your nation's. With the completion of Pacific Telephone's newest radio relay facilities, 99 of the nation's television viewers can be reached by network programs making it possible for any event of national significance to be flashed visually across the nation in a fraction of a second. Telephone calls too, are carried by radio relay. Later this year, for example, the Pacific Northwest radio relay link will carry 132 simultaneous "through" calls but that's only a fraction of its ultimate capacity. Important for convenience and enter tainment, the radio relay system is even more important today when the telephone is hard at its biggest job keeping America strong. . Pacific Telephone
