'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." VOTERS PAMPHLET

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.

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.
