New York, N. Y March 28
better on the Atlantic Coast than
Among them, disease germs. We would, for example, match the
Atlantic coast flu-bug against the Pacific Coast type any time and
wager G.T.'g day's wages (no picayune item!) that the former
would win in a walk, we are lust
and-tumble with the Atlantic Coast type, and with the aid of both
aureomyacin and penicillin EXPECT to survive. But it was touch-and-go
for a time. We never had any such trouble with similar
eerms on the western coast. "Whew-w-w" what a wallop that old
boy packs like a ton of brlckl
germs we want no more of them. We will take the nogue valley
brand every time!
Speaking of germs and diseases and other undesirable items,
we wish the proper authorities would evolve a lethal spray for
this McCarthy-pest and get rid of him. That case is about all we
have seen in the newspapers during the past depressing and medi
cinal period, and have to admit the affair has got us down eve
further than the bout with Old-Man Flu had put us already.
The only consoling feature has been that this Wisconsin "Mac
has reminded us of our old pal
minate over the latter is always a pleasure or if not completely
so, at least a relief from contemplation of this unspeakable moronic
charlatan from the Woodchuck hills of the upper Mississippi val
ley, e
As may be recalled, "Pal Mac" who faithfully reported the
Communist Hiss and Coplon trials, taking more copious and pains
taking notes than the "bye line'1 writers for the New York Times
(Just why no one seemed to know) suffered from such an acute
Communist-phobia that he wanted the magazine "Time" barred
from the mails as seditious, and refused to read the "New Yorker"
because of what he termed its "pro-commy leanings."
This may give an inkling of his type. And it is not as rare as
some people assume. In fact your correspondent has run into a
couple in this hotel and there appears to be some out in dear old
Medford. Their basic difficulty is emotional their emotions com
pletely overcome their ability to think. In fact when their pet
aversion arises, namely the "Red Menace," they refuse to think.
As a result they go to ridiculous extremes. They not only
suspect there is a Russian "Red" under every bed, but that anyone
who has NOT gone on RECORD as a rabid and uncompromising
anti-Russian, is at heart a pro-Russian at the best a potential
bomb-heaving Communist. The only orthodox, acceptable Amer
ican patriot therefore at least this was Mac's working formula
had to be just as extreme, as bigoted, as intolerant and uncompro
mising as he.
As a result, one felt rather sorry for "Mac" he was extreme
ly polite and proper, and yet he was so alone. Even the FBI op
eratives, and the attorneys for the government whom he openly
courted, were bored and indifferent. Just how and why he secured
admission to the press sections no one seemed to know.
And yet it would be entirely untrue to suggest that "Mac"
was disliked except, of course, by the Communists or Fellow
Travelers present. He was merely regarded and discounted as
a crank, an extremist and something of a "nut." And, of course,
he was.
And yet a nice nut.
And that is where the similarity to this other "Mac" this '
unsavory McCarthy of Wisconsin ends. For there is nothing j
NICE about this cheapskate from the Badger state, who, as a
noted Republican, former Secretary of War Stimson, declared,
quote:
'This man, so stupid as to connect a man like Ambassa
dor Jcssup with Communism so unprincipled as to
seek personal and party advantage from damage to his
country."
The "Mac" from Wisconsin and his "noisy antics" however,
do remind us of our own "Mac" in this way it is because of the
fanatical intolerance that our own "Mac" represents, that the
Wisconsin demogogue is depending for a "cash-in" at the ballot
box come this November the strong anti-communism ground
swell that has been rising ever since World War II ended and is
probably at its apex now.
And in this campaign for which he is the advance scout and
self-appointed booby-trap, McCarthy will round up as many of
the Communist-trial "Macs" as he can find. For while such "witch
burners" are n. g. as newspaper reporters, they are useful as
political rounder-uppers and fire-alarm-pullers in a national cam
paign. In fact, we shall be surprised if "Mac", who is a man of
leisure living on a modest but adequate income, does not work at
a steady job for change during the campaign, which should start
now in a few months.
And whatever he may do or say no one knowing "Mac"
will for a moment doubt this:
He will BELIEVE it he will believe sincerely everything he
does and says. He will be even more literally at Armageddon
battling for the Lord than he was at the Communist trial. It will
be a sacred, patriotic cause and unless the GOP wins and regains
control of the congress, Mac will HONESTLY believe that the day
when Uncle Joe moves into the White House will have been
brought closer by several months. Absurd? Certainly. But that's
Mac.
If the Wisconsin Mac were as sincere and honest as the Fed
eral Court Mac, this department would oppose him. for such
twisted fanaticism in this democracy we believe a harmful influ
ence; but we would respect him and grant the man at least the
right to have his say and fight the good fight according to his
lights.
But the Wisconsin Mac plainly isn't. He is too smart to believe
the sort of incendiary and mendacious flap doodle he is handing nut
He no more believes Owen Lattlmnre is really Stalin's chosen rep
resentative in the State Department than he believes Ambassador
Jcssup has a special affinity for Communism and presumably com
munist intrigue.
He isn't, in spile of his wild demands for the secrets ot the
FBI files, interested at all In the TRUTH. He is only interested In
what he and some of his fellow party fire-eaters like Bridges of
New Hampshire can make the voters BELIEVE to be true this
coming November.
Knowing there has been extensive Soviet espionage in the
stale department as evidenced by the Hiss and Coplon cases, the
the McCarthys and the Bridges (and we regret to stale some of the
more respected, self-respecting republicans) see a great chance to
gain and retain political jobs and controls for their party. So they
put up such a smoke screen manv of the voters will conclude there
really must be some fire, that while countless innocent people will
suffer, most of thein will be members of the opposing party any
way, so what the heck .
"Everything Is fair In love, war and politics anyway! !"
e
And this MAY be smart politics.
It shouldn't be but it mnv be for as before remarked In this
department, there are signs of the
Hoc so reckless opportunists like McCarthy may be taking that
tide at the proper time. Only time can tell.
But good politics or bad politics, there is no question of this:
it Is one of the most disgusting and shameful exhibitions of cheap
partisan politics of a completely reckless and irresponsible na
ture this country has seen for a corn-ration, and should he tin-
comprisingly condemned by all right-thinking people regardless of
party.
As Walter Lippman of the Herald-Tribune states in today's
Herald-Tribune:
". . . the McCarthy business is playing straight Into
Russia's hands. 1 believe every Informed and serious
minded observer would agree that the great objective of
Soviet policy is to push the United States out of Europe
unci sia ann oacK inio ine western nemispnore. r.very
thing thai happens here which renders it impossible for the
United States to work with Its allies and partners brings
the Soviet government nearer to its objective."
And no fair-minded observer would deny that the McCarthy-;
Bridges hullabaloo is doing precisely THAT making it more and
more difficult for the United States to work effectively with its
allies and partners, enjoy their confidence, and arouse In them any
sense of greater security, while giving the Kremlin increasing as
surance that the U S A. is a country divided and torn hv inner
conflicts, so Iheir traditional policy of divide and conquer is work
ing out well and should be persisted in.
Perhaps the ravages of the champ flu germ of the Atlantic
seaboard may be partly responsible, but as the writer views the
situation the Republican party faces a most serious crisis If the
leadership of the party Is to he taken over hv such representatives
as McCarthy and Bridges rather than Republicans of the tvpe of
Vnnrionhurg and Stimson In the approaching campaign, whether
the immediate result should be victory or defeat, the final out-1
come would mean the moral bankruptcy of the t;OP, and its dis
appearance for the time being at least, as an effective force in
American politics. And it would be getting merely its just des

To the Editor: In the begin
ning God created the heavens
and the earth and it was some
time before timepieces were
made, so the sun was our time
piece. Why do we change the
clock, to go against God's will?
It would seem to me that the
people of Medford should have
a say as to whether we adopt
the daylight saving time. Why
not let the people have a vote on
this as on other measures such
as our new water line and our
swimming pool.
If our city is going to be run
by five or six men why call an
election in May to vote bonds to
carry this new water line? I for
one do not believe in dictator
ship. Why not just sit back and
let the city dads take care of
all our business, and go all the
way nut for dictatorship, not
just half?

Winner Backed
To the Editor: In response to
the letters recently published in
mis column, aoout a certain con
testant on the amateur hour, we
regret to hear that some folks
are dissatisfied with the choice
of the public.
It was known some time ago
that the final contestant would
be chosen by an applause meter
and the audience attending the
show that evening.
As members of that audience
we believe we chose the contest
ant having the most talent and
the ability to go the farthest.
According to ethics, we should
all' get behind him as our rep
resentative and be his friends,
win or lose. If it should happen
that his is eliminated at Port
land, we trust that we can take
our disappointment with good
spirits.

to state "this information is sub

The "Cowboy Singer" may not

his pleasant voice was at least
entertaining, while the cornet

for his obvious mistakes. Speak

classed.
However, the contest is over
and the results from Portland
will answer the question "Is he

a promising amateur who needs

I think in the event of anoth

Applause Meter Unfair?
To the Editor: Being an aver
age citizen of this fair city I
would like to voice my opinion
on the recent talent contest. As
the public was asked to vote for
their favorite contestant, by bal
lot at a named drug store, I can't
see why judges and an applause
meter both, along with the votes,
were used in the final contest.
According to Bill Grant and
Jim Grimm, fellow students of
the final winner, Keith Mirick,
anyone playing or singing a mel
ody in the style of so-called big
band leaders is more than apt to
be chosen a winner.
Not having any interest in the
contest or voting, I believe the
instrument (applause meter)
used at the last contest to be un
fair to the contestants.
B. J. Haas.
(Editor's note: Voting by the
public by coupon or mail was
merely to select favorites for the
local finals. In the final contest
here an applause meter was
used, its indicator being watch
ed by three judges. The judges
had no part in choosing the con
testant for the trip to Portland,
except to watch the applause
meter and certify as to its proper
reading. The applause meter
method is used in practically all
amateur radio contests, it ob
viously being the only practic
able way to choose favorites In
such performances.)

Are you an old timer in your
city? How much have you seen
it grow? I was talking to a fel
low who came to Miami Beach
to settle down 35 years ago. The
population of that town at that
time (in 1914) was 644. It now
has around 50,000 permament
residents and 60,000 winter res
idents. Some of the old timers
don't like the way Miami Beach
has been growing recently. They
say there are too many new
hotels. They would like to see
more winter homes built by solid
citizens from the North.
Some Prices
Milk is 26 cents a quart in
Miami. That is said to be the
top price for a quart of milk in
the U. S. A. However, it doesn't
top New Orleans by much. Milk
is 25 cents a quart in the Cres
cent City. Gasoline in southeast
ern Florida, including tax, is 31
cents per gallon. However, the
section is not without its bar
gains. I note an offer -to "clean
and press two suits for one dol
lar." There are also a number of
restaurants making "all you can
eat" offers. As for example, one
seafood eatery "ocean fresh pan
fried fish. All you can eat for
one dollar. S erved with cole
slaw, french fries, hot rolls and
butter." Another handsome of
fer is "shrimps steamed in beer.
All you can eat two dollars."
That's the first time I heard of
shrimps being steamed in beer.
Sounds like quite a formidable
concoction. Don't think I would
have the courage to try it.
Great Athlete
Saw "Big Chief" Bender to
day. It was in 1002 that Bender,
a Chippewa Indian, joined Con
nie Mack's Athletics. He was 18
years old at that time. He took
part in five world's series. Ben
der's career as a pitcher in pro
fessional ball, in major and
minor leagues, lasted 36 years.
If that isn't the record for long
time activity as a professional
pitcher, what is? I do not wish
to detract from Jim Thorpes
athletic achievements, but at
times I think the sports scribes
play Thorpe up too much and
say too little about other great
Indian athletes, such as Bender.

then only by proclamation of the

Eddy's program includes a group
of ditties he describes as "Amer

not much of an American folk
song expert, as I never heard of
these songs before. They inclue
two sea songs "Shenandoah,"
and "Blow Ye Winds," and a
North Carolina mountain song
titled, "He's Gone Away." How

Asking
Queries from clients: Q I have
worked for four years for the
same employer, never missed a
day. Don't you think I deserve
a vacation? A. Seems to me you
should look around for another
boss. Any employer who would
not offer an employe a vacation
in four years simply can't be a
good man to be connected with.
Incidentally, the reason many
successful men are successful is
because they were smart enough
to tie up with a good boss or a
good organization. Why waste
your life working for some
Simon Legree who has no con
sideration for his employes?
