Goes on at the Capital. Furnished
by Congressional Quarterly News
Features.
Q What do politicians moan
by a "favorite son" Presidential
candidate.?
A A favorite son has the sup
port of all or most of his state's
delegation to his party's Presi
dential nominating convention.
He actually may have a chance
of winning the nomination, or
he may be a "stalking horse" to
tie up votes until his delegation
decides where it wants to swing
its strength in the showdown.
Q Who are the favorite son
Presidential candidates at pres
ent? i
A As of mid-February, can
didates being talked up, with or
without their consent, as possible
favorite sons were: Democratic

Editorial Cor
San Francisco, Feb. 27 Bright sunny days bring out the
pansies and the pan-handlers in Union Square. Among the latter
we ran into an investment-adviser. He wore a tattered overcoat
several sizes too large for him, and a week's beard, but he also
had a stock market manual with quotations running back ten
years, and a great fund of interesting information, for example:
"Do you know what I bought
One-eighth. Yes, Sir, M bought

HOW!". "Better watch out," we warned, "or you will get the Hoey
committee after you."
On the same bench was an
poisons it seems meats are poison,
canned goods. He is a follower of
Brady. Like the former, he lives on fruits-and-nuts, and like the
latter, turns somersaults every morning, the combination accounts,
he says, for his marvelous physical condition. He was in his 60's,
we would judge, and did look extremely fit, clear eyes and a deep
tan. Explained the latter by the fact he lives far out on Geary and
takes a dip in the surf early, EVERY morning. We have a hunch
it he ate nothing but meat and canned goods, but continued that
rugged regimen he would enjoy the same good health.
As usual the "Stage Door" on
current offering is called "Rasho-mon", a Japanese opus which
won the 1951 Venice, Italy, Film award, as well as the "Best fore
ign film" and the "Best directed film of 1951," by the National
Board of Review.
OK, these authorities SHOULD know.
But we hope no one will ask us to see it AGAIN. In fact seeing
it once to your correspondent was close to being too much, though
we got through it without any audible outbursts of disapproval.
We admit it was refreshing to

this offering going back in Japan's history nearly 1.000 years was,
to this department, in spite of good photography and tremendous
physical energy, simply a painful bore.
The Jap males were not so bad, particularly the priest, but the
heroine, Michiko Kyo, struck us as being the most tiresome and
absurd type of alleged "femme fatale", it has ever been our mis
fortune to see and hear. "Rasho-mon" is one these cinematic
demonstrations of crude,- primitive, untamed passions, in which
"Kyo" had to suffer the well known "fate that is worse than
death" in various degrees close to half a dozen times. Through it
all she showed as much real emotion facially, at least as an
un painted soup-plate. Her wailing and weeping, her writhing,
seething and sobbing meanwhile literally tore the sound-track
to tatters and at least one member of the audience also.
Through it all she could have just as well worn one of those !
expressionless Chinese masks much better as far as attractive
ness is concerned but she (and her director) insisted upon plac
ing her impassive physiognomy into close-up after close-up which
contributed about as much to the reality and impressiveness of
the tragedy, as a few blackboard
would have done!
Oh well, it all adds up to the
nor the play and can't figure out
the latter did, the show has been a
abroad, so the truth probably is there must be something of techni
cal and artistic value in the offering which went over the too high
forehead of your correspondent. .

Red Propaganda Gets
Test at Panmunjom
By PHIL NEWSOM
U. P. Foreign News Editor
According to Communist
propaganda, it would be incon
ceivable that a man once ac
quainted with
the joys of liv
ing under a
Communist
itate ever
would choose
anything else.
The idea is
getting a se
vere test at
Panmunjom.
There United
Nations and
C ommunist
truce negotiators are deadlocked
on the question of voluntary
repatriation of war prisoners.
The Communists are so re
luctant to put their propaganda
claims to a practical test that
there is some danger the peace
talks will break down entirely.
The Communist stand is both
discouraging and cynical.
The Allies hold something
over 132,000 war prisoners. The
Communists admit to holding
about 11,000 prisoners, includ
ing 3,100 Americans.
Right of Choice Insisted
It is the American negotia
tors who are insisting that freed
war prisoners shall have the
right to determine where they
will go. after release. The Amer
icans have added they never
will back down from that stand.
The Communists have com
plained it is an entirely new
concept of international law.
The answer has been that
freedom of speech also once was
a new idea.
Indoctrination Possible
It would appear either that
the Communists do not believe
their own claims or that a large
percentage of their people still
require considerable "indoc
trination." The cynical nature of the Com
munist stand appears both in
the light of their conduct during
the Korean War and in the Rus
sian treatment of war prisoners
after World War IL
In Koiea, it is believed the
Reds hold approximately 100,
000 South Koreans who never
have been accounted for. Some
undoubtedly have been drafted
forcibly into the Communist
army. Others probably are at
work as slave laborers, helping
in the hazardous job of supply
ing the Red army. Others are
dead.
Yet the Reds never have men
tioned them, nor admitted their
existence at Panmunjom.
Parallel la History
There is a parallel in the his
tory of prisoners held by the
Soviets after World War IL
On May 4, 1950, the Soviet
Union announced it had repa
triated 1,939,163 German war
prisoners and only 9,717 crim
inals and 14 hospital patients
were left West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer imme
diately rejoined that the Rus
sians had admitted holding
3,500,000 Germans at the end of
the war and still had not ac
counted for 1,500,000.
In July of 1951 a UN com
mission on prisoners of war
opened an inquiry into the fate
of 2,500,000 servicemen and ci
vilians who disappeared in the
Soviet Union at the end of World
War n. The Russians ignored
the investigation, as they did

Clue to Fate
A clue to their fate might
appear in a Shanghai dispatch
oi Dec. 17, 1946.
The dispatch quoted a story
in the Russian paper, "Irkutsk

story said: S
"Nazi and Japanese dreams of
meeting in Central Asia are be
ing realized as Japanese and
German prisoners of war in Si
beria work on railway and high

It said about 2,000,000 prison

were involved in the work.

Russell Southerners'
Lever To Keep Truman
From Being Reelected
By LYLE C WILSON
Washington (U.R) Southern
ers have taken the final essen
tial move in their three-ply pro
gram to get President Truman
out of the White House.
The most direct method would
be to prevent his re-nomination
next July at Chicago. To that
end. Sen. Richard B. Russell of
Georgia Thursday accepted what
was in effect a southern draft to
become a candidate for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination.
Slim Chance Known
But the chance f beating Mr.
Truman in the Democratic na
tional convention is slim. Russell
and his supporters know that
So he has a second important
function. Russell will be urged
to accept a Jeffersonian Demo
cratic nomination for President
if the regular convention names
Mr. Truman again. As. of now the
senator is not committed on that
Russell would be a strong can
didate in the south. J. Strom
Thurmond was the anti-Truman,
State's Rights southern candidate
in 1948. He took 39 of the south's
128 electoral votes.
House Holds Advantages
The States Righters had hoped
to prevent either the Republican
or Democratic candidates get
ting a majority of the 1948 elec
toral vote. -That would have
thrown the election into the
House of Representatives with
large advantages to the south.
But Mr. Truman had a long
lead over Gov. Thomas E. Dewey,
the Republican candidate, and an
ample 1948 majority. ,
The third southern weapon
against Mr. Truman would be a
bolt to the 1952 Republican presi
dential nominee. If Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower is nominated a
very substantial bolt is likely.
The southerners could swallow
Ike when they might choke on
a life-long Republican. .

In the Day's Hem
By FRANK JENKINS
From London:
The funeral of King George
VI cost 58,000 $162,400. . . .
The government presented the
bill to Parliament today, ask
ing it to vote the necessary
money. .
The total cost (of the funeral)
includes 8,000 ($22,400) for en
tertaining royal and overseas
guests, hiring cars and railway
expenses.
Biesest item of all (in the cost
of the funeral) was a bill from
the armed forces for 35,750
($100,010) for the troops who
took part in the ceremonies.
The bill doesn't include their
pay only the special costs re
sulting from the use of tne
troops in the ceremonies accom
panying the funeral, transporta
tion, food and such.
THE solemn ceremonies are
over. The king has been laid
to his rest There remains only
the detail of PAYING THE
BILLS FOR THE FUNERAL.
After alL you see, the great
ones of this earth and the small
ones of this earth have much in
common.
THIS, I'd say, would be a good
time for Englishmen and
Britishers generally to re-read
Kipling's Recessional especial
ly the J3cond stanza of it, which
goes:
"The tumult and the shouting
dies,
The Captains and the Kings de
part; Still stands thine ancient sac
rifice, An humble and a contrite heart."
r" WAS his "humble and con
trite heart" that endeared
George VI to his people. He
wasn't a great warrior. He cer
tainly wasn't a great conqueror.
Instead of adding to the British
empire, he ruled during the pe
riod when the British empire,
which had been built up by war
riors and conquerors, was rap
idly melting away. But his peo
ple said of . him: "He was a
GOOD man." They wept as they
said it.
Mayhe this universal respect
for a GOOD man will hold the
British together during the dif
ficult years that lie ahead and
will help to preserve the great
ness of their nation, which now
certainly seems endangered.
YOU know, OUR position isn't
as impregnably sound as it
once was. We have world-wide
commitments which, if they all
came due AT ONCE, could
strain even our great resources.
Our eeonomy has been weak
ened by reckless fiscal leader
ship, which has run us heavily
into debt in the years when we
should have been getting out of
debt We need GREAT leader
ship perhaps as much as we
have ever needed it at any time
in our career.
At this moment, let's not for
get that it isn't just a superman
that we need. We need a GOOD
man to lead us, and we need
GOOD men to back him up.
The time is returning to the
world when GOODNESS means
something. More POWER is no
longer everything.

Babson Businessmen
By Roger W. Babson i
Babson Park, Fla. (Special to
Mail Tribune) A few years ago,
the Pacific Northwest was suf
fering a most
difficult read
justment Un-precedent-ed
wartime ex
pansion seemed
likely to end in
complete col
lapse. U n em
ployment had
reached serious
proportions.
Active shipyards, giant aircraft
factories and war fabricating
plants shut down.
In these weekly articles I sel
dom single out any one section
for specific mention. Our Amer
ican economy is interrelated to
so great an extent, that every
section is leargely dependent on
other sections. However, I think
that there is a lesson for all sec
tions to learn based upon the re
cent statistics and experiences
of the Pacific Northwest
Prior to 1940, the region was
almost entirely dependent for its
prosperity on selling its raw ma
terials. Its products were mostly
shipped eastward in a raw state
for processing and distribution to
more profitable mass markets.
Here was an important lumber
district, but all its lumber was
shipped East in the raw state,
Rich northwest farm lands sup
plied a large part of America's
fruit and grain, but often at a
loss. Copper, zinc, lead, silyer,
gold and antimony were scooped
from its mines and shipped else
where for refining and fabricat
ing. ' Fishing, especially for
salmon, was big business. But,
manufacturing industries were
badly needed for lasting strength.
War Needs Expansion
Stimulated Industries
Expansion for war needs stim
ulated manufacturing industries
temporarily. Aircraft factories
mushroomed overnight. A full
blown aluminum industry sprang
up, and there was a new Pluton
ium plant at Hanford. Ferroalloy
and other electro-process war in
dustries were started. Huge
power requirements pushed
ahead hydro-utility construction
population growtn kept pace
with industrial expansion. People
rushed in from adjoining sec
tions to get employment. There
could have been a very bad
slump when the war ended.
There were no established
peacetime products or markets
to which the industries and
workers could return. However,
instead of a slump, the area has
forged ahead to new heights,
due to the enterprise and cour
age of its business leaders. Labor
today is even scarce in some
lines and net migration into the
area has continued high.
Raw Materials Now
Becoming Finished Goods
Aided by extensive 'research
and these few business men,
their raw materials are now go
ing into finished goods. Prewar,
no aluminum was produced in
the Pacific . Northwest; today
nearly half of all our aluminum
comes from this area. Food pro
cessing has been emphasized to

men are making it the center of
the new frozen foods industry.
They are starting new flour
mills, new canning plants, and
other industries to employ nearly
twice as many workers as in pre
war 1939. This proves again that
every community depends upon
the ability and courage of about
5 per cent of its people. -
Furniture production has be
come a ig industry utilizing the
region's lumber resources. Paper
and pulp industries have ex-
panded 50 per cent since 1940,
while the chemical industry is
being doubled. Other industries
have been induced to move into
the region to decentralize oper
ations, and be closer to raw ma
terial supplies. Electric power
output, despite tremendous
growth, is being further in
creased. Business Financed
By Forward Citizens
New stores, laundries, filling
stations and restaurants have
been financed by forward look
ing citizens before they were
really needed. This has all oc
curred in an area which seemed
on the brink of a depression only
some five years ago. Don t let
any community, where this col
umn is printed, get discouraged
under any conditions.
No one examining the situa
tion in 1947 would have been
willing to forecast such a rate of
growth. Today, similarly, there
are other regions, as well as in
ventions and ideas, which stand
on the threshold of most rapid
growth. Our frontiers never
really pass; the experience of
the Pacific Northwest shews that
the brightest opportunities often
lie where the prospects seem
least promising.
Carrier Princeton
Collides With Tanker
San Diego (U.R) The aircraft
carrier U.S.S. Princeton collided
with the tanker Navasota during
naval maneuvers off San Diego,
but the vessels were only slightly
damaged, the Navy reported Fri
day. The Navy said the accident oc
curred February 25 during re
fueling exercises. There were no
injuries, and the Princeton, an
Essex class carrier, continued
flight operations.
The Navasota is en route to
Long Beach, Calif., for repairs,
the Navy said. The Princeton is
scheduled to sail to San Fran
cisco for repairs at the conclusion
of the maneuvers.
NAME CARRIED ON
Agawara, Mass. (U.R) Seven
teenth century Massachusetts
residents would be surprised to
look at today's map and find
Agawam in Western Massachu
setts. In 1633 Agawam was in
Essex county, about 100 miles
east of here. Then Agawam
changed its name to Ipswich and
the name Agawam years later
was given to the town which
still bears it.
