Broadcast Studio
To Be Constructed
At Vets' Center
A broadcasting studio, a proj
ect which Paul Hatton, manager
of the Veterans' Administration
Domiciliary center, has want
ed ever since the veterans home
here opened, has been made pos
sible through a gift from the
American Legion's Gifts for the
Yanks. A check for $675 was
presented to Hatton by Hollis
Hull, Albany, state command
er of the American Legion, at
the Legion district conference
in Grants Pass recently.
The equipment has been or
dered and work will start soon
on the construction of a sound
proof studio in the theater
building. It will be located in
the hall at the rear of the thea
ter. There will be windows on
all sides and it will be possible
for the announcer to see the
theater stage.
The studio will be primarily
for member participation, ac
cording to Hatton. The men will
work up 'their own broadcasts.
Equipment will be included to
cut records so that a program
may be broadcast at another
time.

unseemly and unseasonable extremes?

The Republican! aren't going to have any one-sided field-day
this campaign.
At least there will be SOME competition.
Take, for example, the moral collapse in Washington Involving
"the corrupt and criminal" Harry W. Grunewald, and those scan
dalous profits made in post-war tanker tales!
Two of the most prominent Republicans In the country
minority-leader Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire and
Senator Owen Brewster of Maine, Bob Taft'a right-hand man, are
now under suspicion.
There appears to be no doubt Brewster did not think taking
$10,000 of Grunewald's "tainted money" to help Senator Dixon
of California, was improper. While Bridges, who is paid or was
paid $30,000 a year to represent organized labor in Washington,
does not deny he intervened with RFC to get a reduction in one
Hyman Harvey Klein's income tax.
Hyman, it seems, invested $1,000 in Canadian whiskey and
made $5,000,000! But be failed to show 25 of that gargantuan
profit in his income tax report.
Who said anything about mink coats and deep freezes? Why,
General Vaughan ws a piker, dealing in peanuts compared to
these upper-bracket representatives of the great GOP moral uplift!

As remarked in this department many months ago, SIN can't
successfully be made a PARTISAN issue, no matter how hard the
professional politicians of any party try to do so.
Nor will General Douglas MacArthur, we fear, have any easy
sailing. He still enjoys a widespread personal popularity, but so
did Admiral Dewey after the battle of Manila Bay. In a knock
down drag-out campaign we predict, even if the General refuses
to take off his scrambled-egg hat and his specially tailored be
medaled tunic, he will probably not come out of the free-for-all
as immaculate and photogenic as he went in. To those eager for
details we would recommend an authoritative survey of the Mac
Arthur record by the Messers Rovere and Schlesinger Jr., in a
book entitled "The General and the President."
That book plainly shows that General MacArthur decided
soon after he was placed in supreme command in the Far East
to play politics. Practically all of his reports to Washington, all
hit remarks and ex-officio statements had a definite anti-Truman
partisan slant. Whatever his basic motives may have been, there
is no question he made up his mind to adopt a course which
could have only one logical result his discharge or his resignation.
It is a most extraordinary record indeed, which if placed be
fore the American people in detail as it almost certainly will
be, if the general should become an active candidate for the
presidency can hardly fail to have the most devastating and dis
illusioning effect.
According to the newspaper grapevine here, Mrs. MacArthur
is as strongly opposed to her husband entering the presidential
race as Mrs. Truman is against her husband running for reelec
tion. We predict political history will record that in this instance,
the distaff members of the two families were and are 100
RIGHT!
There is almost aa striking a contrast here between Market
Street and Grant Avenue as there is in New York between
Broadway and Fifth Avenue. The latest addition to the smart
shopping district here is a brand new Saks 5th Avenue shop,
on Grant, while only a few blocks away are the comparatively
new Macys and Magnins. The White House is desperately remodel
ing to keep up with the procession, while the City of Paris, which
recently celebrated its centennial, shows the hardihood of the
Forty niners who established it by specializing in house furnish

Dropped into the Crystal Palace market on Market Street
yesterday to, get a "Coke" after viewing the hot and exhausting
Shriner parade, the general market layout, reminding your cor
respondent of Klines and 14th street, New York, in July.
While there, had the pleasure of seeing an Italian woman pur
chase two pounds of D'Anjou pears from Medford, Oregon, for
50 cents. Twenty-five cents a pound for D'Anjous isn't bad, is it?
Well, the Shriners have a good time. After the parade they
proceeded to hold some sort of initiation in front of the City Hall
a circus calliope, a Powell Street cable-car on a truck all newly
painted in Shrine colors were used as "props." It took us back
50 years to a graveyard, a golf course, and an order which com
pelled a certain callow youth to wear an old hat, sweater, and
sneakers for three days not only to classes but to chapel with
chestnuts on strings swinging from the bonnet. .

against Whittaker Chambers ever came to trial. And for essen-

A pasty-faced, long-haired Mexican kid, priding himself on
being a Mission Street "Lothario," brutally attacked a 17-year-old
high school girl here last Sunday night and when arrested a few
hours later admitted without the slightest evidence of remorse,
"Sure, he had killed her."
When asked if he thought he would "swing" for the crime,
he jauntily said he did not think so. Guess he knows what sort
of justice is dispensed around here.
For the next day George
criminal lawyers, called on this Mission Street pants-presser and
then sallied forth with a brand new story, completely contradict
ing the story told by Roman Rodriguez, the young degenerate,
24 hours before. Everyone knows the boy told the truth and his
smart lawyer didn't. But practically everyone also knows that
where there is money enough to hire an upper-bracket criminal
lawyer like Davis the chances of any punishment fitting the crime,
ever being imposed, is practically nil.
And yet some good people

The pudgy, middleaged "peep
mentioned a' few days ago as marking a new low in sordid, soiled
degradation, was sentenced yesterday to life imprisonment, BUT
after a talk with HIS lawyer, felt almost chipper about it all, for
the lawyer assured him, if he behaved himself, he would be out
in seven years and what is free-board-and-room for seven years,
even under duress, when a man is in his early 40 s? He can shoot
his rifle through peep-holes and hide under beds to escape the
cops for many more years to come!

Matter of Fact
TWO RELUCTANT DRAGONS
Washington Recent visitors
to Key West strongly suspect
that the presidential mind,
which was pretty well made up
until very recently, has now
been unmade again. They are
also beginning to believe, as one
Key West pilgrim put it, that
"this may be 1940 all over
again." In short, the feeling is
growing that President Truman,
contrary to previous expecta
tions, will not announce his fu
ture course for a long time, and
perhaps not until just before the
democratic convention in July.
Trying to read the president's
mind is, oi course, an exceed
ingly risky business. But it is at
least true that a subtle but sig
nificant change in the presi
dent's attitude is reported from
Key West Before going to Flor
ida. Truman gave those close to
him good reason to believe that
he would announce his course
soon April 12 was one date
specifically mentioned.
Aside from the fact that April
12 is the seventh anniversary of
Truman's taking office, this date
has another significance. It is
four days after the primary in
Illinois, in which Gov. Adlai
Stevenson is expected to be re
nominated. Thus Stevenson
could thereafter become a presi
dential candidate and still retain
the power to influence the
choice of his successor as gover
nor, if need be. And there were
plenty of other indications that
Truman planned to withdraw
and promote a Stevenson
candidacy.
a e e
BEFORE going to Key West,
for example, Truman even
had reports prepared for him,
analyzing such matters as Stev
enson's probable state-by-state
political strength and the politi
cal impact of his divorce. Yet
the new atmosphere at Key
West has thrown some doubt on
the obvious implication that
Truman was preparing to with
draw soon, in plenty of time for
a Stevenson boom to get under
way.
Truman still talks to inti
mates in a way which clearly
suggests that he does not want
to run. As for Stevenson, when
his name is mentioned these
days, Truman is apt to react
either rather caustically or not
at all. And although they may
be dead wrong, those in the best
position to judge will not be sur
prised if Truman announces his
plans in the near future, or in
deed for many weeks to come.
It is possible to make a reas
onable, although necessarily ten
tative, guess about what all this
means. In the first place, it is
almost certainly true that Tru
man does genuinely want to
withdraw. But he naturally also
wants to have a decisive hand in
choosing his successor. And
when he turned to Stevenson,
after Chief Justice Fred Vinson
refused to run, Truman was sur
prised, duzzled and probably in
creasingly irritated by Steven
son's reaction.
For if Stevenson has not act
ually slammed the door in the
president's face, he has certain
ly not held it open with enthus
iasm. Not only privately but as
publicly as possible, Stevenson
has displayed an obvious reluc
tance, saying again and again
that he is "running for gover
nor, and nothing else."
QTEVENSON'S reluctance is
both honest and understand
able, but it has left the Presi
dent in a painful dilemma. For
various reasons, none of the
other potential candidates, Sen.
Robert Kerr, of Oklahoma, Sen.
Estet Kefauver, of Tennessee, or
Sen. Richard RusseHxof Geor
gia, is acceptable to Truman. So,
other than run again himself,
what it Truman to do?
If he withdrew now or in the
near future, and Stevenson re
fused to make the race, Tru
man's power to influence the
course of events at the Chicago
convention might be destroyed,
by the rule that a setting sun
gives forth little heat A can
By ftoknid Coc
didate wholly unacceptable to
Truman might then be chosen.
Thus it may well seem to the
president he has no choice but
to keep silent and hope that
something will turn up.
This interpretation, of course,
may be upset by events. Steven
son and Truman are sure to meet
again, and a meeting of minds
may take place between the
two men. Indeed, at least one
shrewd professional politician,
who is actively working for
Stevenson, is convinced that
such a meeting of minds has al
ready taken place. He believes
that the president's silence and
Stevenson's reluctance are a
matter of political tactics, to
bridge over the time before the
Illinois primaries.
Yet the bulk of the evidence
pretty clearly suggests that Tru
man and Stvenson (perhaps with
the growing strength of General
of the Army Dwight D. Eisen
hower in mind) are both reluct
ant dragons, as one in not
wanting to run. If this interpre
tation is correct, this is one of the
oddest situations in American
political' history, with the presi
dent quite honestly in search of
an heir, and quite honestly un
able to find a man to whom he
can in good conscience hand on
the poisoned chalice.

In the Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
The Albany Democrat Her
ald says:
"Frank Jenkins in his Day's
Newt column says he is im
mensely impressed with the
statement of Senator Russell
of Georgia (when he announced
his candidacy for the Demo
cratic nomination for president)
that he believes in the greatest
practicable degree of local self
government. "No wonder Frank is im
pressed. As he points out, Rus
sell has put his finger on the
thing that in the past couple of
decades has led us farthest
away from the American way
of life as the Founding Fathers
envisioned it."
THE Democrat-Herald adds:
."Russell is a Democrat,
from the Deep South, and prob
ably Frank Jenkins as a Repub
lican won't vote for him in No
vember. But none the less Rus
sell has given expression to a
point of view that leaders in
both parties can't afford to lose
sight of. The New Deal has
moved the government farther
and farther from the people,
with the rather hopeless acqui
esence of the people.
"More and more there is a
tendency to turn to the national
government for whatever we
want done. State and local rights
have atrophied. Big government
at Washington has collared all
the loose tax money until state
and local governments are find
ing it harder and harder to get
the cash to carry on adequately
the regional and local phases
of . government."

Democrat-Herald'! statement

vote for Senator RusselL

Maybe not this November.
Tackling first things first it
seems improbable at this mo
ment that Senator Russell, a
Southerner, can be nominated
by the Democratic party, which
is DIVIDED SHARPLY on
North-South lines. As of now.
at least the Northern wing of
the party holds the edge in vot
ing power.
It COULD be that facing lots ;

issue at Panmunjom finally were

wat needed wat a face-saving

them to go along with UN de
mands for voluntary repatria

December 18 exchange of pris
oner lists which did not include
some 50,000 names of persons
classed by the Allies at "refu
gees" instead of war prisoners.
2. Identical notea handed to
the Russians by envoys of- the
United States. France and Brit
ain made it clear that the west
ern allies would not be aide
tracked from their European de
fense plant by the new Russian
intent
3. Temporarily, at least, things
were looking better in southeast
Asia. The French were counter
attacking the Reds in Indo-China
and in northern Burma govern
ment troops were moving
against some 10,000 to 20,000
Chinese Nationalists. While the
Chinese troops belong to the
Chiang Kai-shek regime, they
have been a source of embar
rassment both to Burma and
other members of the United

Man Can Back Up
Tall Fish Stories
Paris, Tenn. U.R) When Her
man Cravens tells a fish tale he
can back it up. He has a record
of all the fish he has caught
since 1939.
Cravens started keeping the
record as a check on his favorite
spots and with the idea of com
piling a fishing calendar.
Since he began the record, Cra
vens, a disabled World War I
veteran, has listed a total catch
of 4,678 fish, averaging better
than four fish a trip.
Most of his fishing is done on
Kentucky lake near here and
since 1945 he has made approxi
mately 114 trips a year.
Bass is his favorite and 90
per cent of his catches have been
bass, with his largest a seven
pound, six ounce smallmouth.

AMERICAN PEOPLE.

J eke in Oregon we have a
-'-'-splendid example of what
happens when the bulk of gov
ernment is moved oil into re

In the 18 years from 1933 to
1951, the federal government
COLLECTED in Oregon (in
taxes) the astronomical sum of
$2,721,465,204.01 (approximate
ly 2ai billions of dollars). In
the same 18 years, it RETURNED
to Oregon the sum of $704,'
581,166.
That is to say, for each dol
lar we've sent to Washington in
these 18 years, we've got two
bits back.

pointed that so fak no re
publican candidate for the presi
dential nomination has even
mentionel this issue, which to
me seems fundamental in the
situation that faces us. I'm im

prominently.

Jane Grant, president of the

with me. She threatens to greet
me coldly or ignore me when
we pass each other on Madison
avenue. It is because I said I
thought women were doing
pretty well in the matter of
equal rights. Jane points out that
in ten states women are still
barred from jury duty. That in
fourteen states and the District
of Columbia the father it t the
natural guardian of a minor
child. That meant if the child
were an infant prodigy in the
entertainment field the father
would have a right to all hit off
spring's earnings. Miss Grant
also points out that in six states
a wife cannot sell her own land
without her husband's consent.

check on the weight of the things
you carry in your pockets. Re
cently a group of men were
checked on the weight of their
pocket contents. Low man was
carrying 14 ounces of stuff. High
man had 11 pounds 8 ounces!
This test was made during an ar
gument as to whether men
should carry handbags. I have
been studying this angle for
years. I am definitely against
handbags. , Think of how Clem
McCarthy would look carrying
a handbag. Or Bill Comm. Still,
loading up the pockets is bad.
