NO CENSUS TO SPARE Ada. Okla. U.R) Paul Hen derson, district census supervis or, reported one of his workers called at a local home but was turned away by the resident who said. "Get out of here now, I got no census to spare." New York City, N. Y., May 6 This promises to be a perfectly cock-eyed campaign. Perhaps not materially worse than others in some aireciions. DUl cenuiiiiy mure cuiiiusiiib ui uiict.i.ii, namely: Not only do the two major parties promise to stage the usual sham-battle of nonsense, but they promise to fight or at least refuse to agree among themselves. e e As President Truman, for example, starts on his "whistle stop" campaign across the country, he maintains the danger of war with Russia is less than it was a year or two ago. and con sequently less will be spent next year than this, on defense. Very comforting! nut nnt onlv the President's Chief-of-Staff General Bradley. hut one of his most loval nartv sUDDOrters Senator Tydings of lvTnrvlnnH. tak nrpriselv the ODDOsite view and at the same time. General Bradley maintains conaiuons are worse man uiey were a year ago, relations wun nussm me ueiciumnj, u ue pleads for a continuation of the draft, and a general increase of preparedness, ana national awareness. Senator Tvriinss is so discouraged bv the outlook that he publicly declares war wun soviet, nussia may orean uuv rut i nAV And to make the split between the President and leaders of his party on this vital issue even more pronounced a. a. nene jr., former Democratic Under-Secretary of State, declares over the air, Juote: , , i- .u- -a ine nour is very late, vre are pusauiK me ijuuii. ui uu return.' America must reckon on possible war within three years. That is the terrible fact which most American poli ticians either do not realize or are afraid to mention." ft coomi fair tn asstim the eentleman so Drominent in the Democratic state department during the Roosevelt administration, classifies the present leader of his party as "one of the American politicians" who either does not realize the seriousness of the present international situation or is afraid to mention the fact. This conflict of opinion within the party is, however, not con fined to the Democrats. Within the nast few weeks the record shows outstanding and highly respected Republicans like Vandenburg of Michigan, Stim son of New York, and Flanders of Vermont, outraged by the irre sponsible tactics of Senator McCarthy and scathingly condemn them: while eauallv Drominent members of the party like Taft of Ohio, Dulles of New York, and Wherry of Nebraska uphold the Wisconsin tub-thumper as a hero fighting against heavy odds to purge this fair land of espionage agents and foreign spies within the Truman administration. Alone the same line the present titular leader of the GOP, Governor Dewey of New York, gave the chief $100 a plate -address here in Manhattan Fridav. onlv a short time after the chairman of the Republican National committee returned from a swing-around-the-circle in his party's interest. A man from Mars reading the reports from these two prom inent Republicans would assume they were not only NOT mem berg of the same political organization but were bitter opponents, for: Chairman Gabrielson insisted his party is enthusiastically united against the "welfare state" which is leading the country to ward socialism and the destruction of American liberty, whereas The Governor of New York devoted practically his entire speech to pointing with pride to the high type of "welfare state" he has created here in New York unemployment insurance, rent control, medical aid, housing, old-age assistance, public power and state highway projects, etc., etc., and over Democratic opposition. In other words the leader of the Republican party favors the principles of the "welfare state" and puts them into practice, in New York, while his party chairman opposes them when identical principles are supported and advanced by the Democratic party in Washington! Or to express the same idea in a third- way: The Democrats are wrong when they OPPOSE the principles of the "welfare state" in New York, and also wrong when they FAVOR them in Washington, D. C. This used to be known as "tails we win, heads you lose!" It is difficult enough for the "man in the street" to make head or tail out of a political campaign when the two major parties are united and clearly opposed on, definite issues: but what is the poor helpless pedestrian to do this year, when there is no agreement not only BETWEEN the parties but WITHIN them? At last a little rav of sunshine amid the encircling gloom. After four days of rain it did not rain today nor did it clear but the Yankees and the Cleveland Indians played a double- header in a fog up at the Yankee stadium, and your correspondent was able to get there while the national anthem was being sung, and before the Yankees took the field. There was what Los Angleans used to call a "high fog" but what New Yorkers term a "mist" very unusual for this time of year. (According to the Weather Man, the Harvard rain-maker is not to blame, but the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Stream al though we have not been able to determine the exact meteor ological contributions made by each.) e e e At any rate we had the pleasure of seeing our old pal of San Diego, Luke Easter, hit two home runs with that easy swing and beautifully smooth follow-through of his, thus winning the first game for Cleveland S to 4. As usual, the Yankees scared the In dians to death, coming within 1 run of tieing the score in the last half of the ninth, but the fire was finally put out when we left at 8:30 p. m. (these Big League games take a terribly long time) the score was 5 to 4 in favor of the Yanks. We have no doubt they won. But the Indians are probably content to split even with the Yankees, and tomorrow the Detroit leaders will be here and we have hopes of seeing the New York world champs taken to the cleaners acain. Luke Easter is a negro a huge barn-door of a man who swings the hickory stick as if it were a hoe handle in his tremend ous arms and hands. The crowd, naturally pro-Yank, gave him a great reception after he hit two homers and a double. At San Diego he played first base, but with the Indians he plays right field. He played the position well, too, and at one point nearlv gained baseball Immortality by tabbing a home-run clout Into the bull pen, but failing to hold it as he fell over the gate. He tried to vault the gate on his return and again failed to make it, his colored co-partner the Cleveland center-fielder, help ing him to his feet, and over. Incidentally the great Joe DIMnggio had an off-day, failing (while we were there) to get a hit and for the first time we heard him get boos instead of cheers. Easter was the hero of the day. e e e Later: Correct: The Yanks won as usual. But they had to bring in their star fireman Joe Page who made monkeys out of the Dodgers at last year's World series, to do it final score 7 to 4. e At last a clear morning, the first one In a week or ten days. A temperature close to 80 Is predicted this afternoon. With the humidity around 100 as usual that will be toiiRh on the Pacific Coast brood, but by this time some of them should be acclimated, e EGB might be pleased to know that the Cantabs won on the Severen yesterday against Penn and the Navy, making better time than the Elis at the same distance. So it might be worth a trip to New London next month. Another black mark for the Youth of Greater New York. A soccer team of kids from Germany, no more Nazis than Luchows down on 14th street, were pelted with tomatoes and apples when they were greeted at City Hall by Acting Mayor Impeiletarl. The pelterers were members of the Jerusalem Youth brigade, alleged defenders of racial quality! Tolerance like other things depends upon whose ox Is gored. R.W.R.

BY FRANK JENKINS I was rolling down the high way the other day at a flat 55, right on the nose of the Calif ornia limit, when I passed a cop. So far as I know, down here on the flat valley roads they don't bother you at a few miles over the limit if you are paying attention to your knitting and doing a good job, but you know how it is when you pass a cop. It's like it used to be when you were a child, playing happily with other children. Maybe you were being an angel, but when an ADULT came on the scene you had a little twinge of guilt and went a bit tense until you saw how the adult was going to react to the situation, ihats what the presence of AUTHOR ITY does to us. At tht precise moment. I not ed that the car just ahead was white-license GOVEKNMENJ. car and the thought struck me that if the cop nails me he 11 have to nail this government guy too. The thought was so pleasing that I relaxed and be came my natural self again. MOW isn't that a heck of a 1 1 note? I don't doubt that the govern ment employee driving the car with the white license was most estimable person. Most of them are. I suspect that if we had stopped for a refreshing cup of tea or even a bottle of beer to break the monotony of the long road we might have fal len easily into conversation and out of the incident might have grown a lasting friendship. Still, there was that little in stinctive edge of animosity to ward the white license that spotted the car as a government car and at the same time spot ted its driver as a government man. I'll bet you've felt the same twinge. It must be some atavistic hangover from the long centur ies when government was the universal oppressor of the com mon man. Anyway, there was a fleeting moment when I would have been almost willing to be arrest ed myself in order to see the government man arrested too. It passed in a flash, and I was properly ashamed of the un worthy thought. Aren't human reactions funny? THE cop paid us no heed as we slid past him. Why should he? We were going about our lawful business in a perfectly lawful way. COPS TOO are hu man beings. And, as human be ings, they're at least 98 per cent Choose An Experienced, Capable BUSINESS MAN Who will devote ALL OF HIS TIME to lound, efficient, buii-nest-like management of Jack ton County!

If you'll track back HON ESTLY AND ACCURATELY through the record of your ex periences with cops you'll find, I think, that nearly every time a cop has treated you snootily it has been because you were a trifle snooty with him first. UHILE we're on this subject, let's squeeze it dry. I have a notion that if both the government man and I had Ashland, May 10 Southern Oregon college placement bureau has gained 14 teaching positions for Its graduates in schools of Jackson county for next year. The bureau reported that 40 teachers had been placed already in Oregon and northern Califor nia. Credentials of other students have been sent to schools re questing teachers.

Central Point. FIRST RUN HERE SUNDAY Valley Drive-In vu am been offside, the state cop might even have arrested the govern ment man first. State cops, un der their uniforms, are just peo ple. As such, they have the same atavistic hangovers as you and I. Just as yours and mine, their ancestry goes back through the long centuries to that dim and distant time when GOVERN MENT was almost invariably an OPPRESSOR. In his blood, doubtless, are the same dregs of resentment from that period when government gave to the privileged few the right to abuse and exploit the unprivileged many. in a given set of circumstanc es, we human beings all tend to act in a given way. I think I'd like to end this phil-; osoDhical niece with th hnnp - that the time NEVER COMES in America when we lose this faint trace of resentment to ward BIG government. ! It traces back. I think, to the barons at Runnymede and to un washed, smelling-of-sweat Wat Tyler and his rebellion. It was out of things like this that our i Bill of Rights came, and our Bill of Rights is the most precious possession we have. If we ever get careless and let ourselves lose it we'll be gone goslings, our liberties will be up the creek and government will have us by ' the throat again. ! We mustn t EVER let that I happen.
