When we get up early In the morning we wonder why we don't always. This is especially true in a big city ANY big city and In the Summer or Spring. Everything then is so fresh, dean and cooL no crowds, no traffic, and here in SF a nice ferry-boat trip, with a hot breakfast in prospect on the "Daylight " diner. Yes, one of those "grand and glorious feelings' which be come rarer and rarer as one Jogs along and 'along! The "Shasta Daylight", as before remarked, is one of the few really -praiseworthy achievements of the contemporary S.P. At the outset it cost a lot of money and involved some risk not much. but SOME more than the S.P. usually takes, or ever has taken in southwestern Oregon. ' And as so often happens when courage Is exercised, the In vestment paid out. A similar amount of courage displayed in giv ing Southern Oregon from Roseburg to Dunsmuir, California, the kind of rail service it DESERVES, would, we are convinced, also pay out. But it would be foolish for anyone who knows the "hard ened-artery" outlook of the S.P. board of directors to expect any such demonstration in the present century. More people got on at Oakland and Berkeley than at the Ferry Building in SF many more. The time is probably not far distant when the population "across-the-bay will be far greater than in San Francisco proper. We don't know of a city in the country where there is such a mark ed difference in climate, within a few miles, as in this Golden Gate area. Why anyone with a car, lives in the city is difficult to understand, when they can enjoy the climatic advantages of Marin County and the Lower Peninsula, with more room, land, and health, at lower taxes and only a few minutes away. Perhaps it goes back to that strange trait in human nature, which accounts for the fact that the natives who lived and suffered through the centuries on the lava soaked slopes of Mt Vesuvious, return and rebuild after each and every eruption. It's "Home Sweet Home." More than the usual amount of news in the morning paper mostly political. The final act of the "Comedy of Errors" which started far back when Mr. Truman was not as wise or as good a President, as he is today, has finally been played out and the curtain has come down. What a relief! "Jim" McGrath, of course, should never have been named U.S. Attorney General in the first place. He was no more fitted to head the Justice Department of this country, than his prede cessor Tom Clark was fitted to take a place on the U.S. Supreme Court which is only another way of saying that when the his tory of the Truman administration is written, the one outstanding BLACK spot in the record will be in the direction of the Truman appointments. Recently an improvement has been noted, but as a whole, we grant they have been terrible. (And if anyone is Inter ested they will find such condemnation iu this column when the appointment of Tom Clark was announced.) By the same token, of course, Newbcld Morris, should never have been selected to head a moral clean-up crusade within the present administration. Not that Newbold is not, by nature, a moral "crusader." He definitely is one of the most idealistic types "sans peur et sans reproach." But he definitely suffers from the faults of his virtues, and our belief is McGrath realizing this when he made the appointment, banked upon it But he failed to perceive another quality in the Morris make-up, complete honesty and fearlessness. The fact that Newbold Morris was the impractical, more or less naive "do-gooder" type, and at the same time a Republican, led McGrath undoubtedly, to conclude he would make an ideal "cats paw" to pull out some of the administration hot chestnuts. He assumed Mr. "Silk Stocking' 'would go through the motions of a moral uplift without really going beneath the surface, and at the same time be immune to the charge that the clean-up was conducted by Democrats or friends of the administration. It was a good idea from the McGrath viewpoint that is the viewpoint of the typical, cynical ward-politician. But it failed to work with Morris as anyone who knew the man would have known at the outset. - And it failed to work with President Truman also, for Mr. Truman, in spite of his limitations and his mistaken and impul sive loyalties, is at heart at straight-shooter and a fair-dealer particularly when the chips are down. It has not been recorded as yet, just what the President said to his "double-crossing" Attorney-General at the Washington airport, but we have a fair idea of the main thesis and we doubt if "Jimmy" McGrath, derby-hat, triped pants, greeters-grin and all, will soon forget it! The pity is that President Truman did not get wise to the Tom Clark, Jimmy McGrath, Bill O'Dwyer type of political mercenary in the first place many years ago! v "Mr. Republican" this morning is executing a war-dance over his "ground-swell" victories in McCarthy's Wisconsin, and Sena tor Butler's Nebraska. And as far as we have thus far observed in the papers, only one pretty-well discredited figure in public life dares dispute it. His name is Stassen. ' This seems strange in view of the obvious facts. For as an index as to how the members of the Republican party feel to ward Senator Taft and his reactionary isolationism, the results in ; these states, clearly show a majority are against him. In fact, the ' Taft group failed to secure over 40 of the votes cast, and in many precincts, the total was nearer 30 that is 70 were against him. Well, in view of how Mr. Republican has been treated by the voters in the past, and his dismal record until last Tuesday, we can't blame him for being all cheered-up and making the most of it. As time goes on, we perdict he will need all these rays of sunshine he can get, as far as his White House prospects in 1952 are concerned. But in this instance the fact remains, former Governor Stassen is entirely right in declaring the results in Wisconsin and Ne braska add up to a Taft defeat, not a victory. Taft did get more votes than either of his opponents. NOMIN ALLY. But ACTUALLY the votes that went to Warren and Stassen in Wisconsin, and to Eisenhower and Stassen in Nebraska were ALL ANTI-TAFT votes, and no fair minded objective analysis of the returns, can justify any other conclusion. Of course, the Ohio Senator denies' this. (He WOULD.) He claims those Republicans who refused to vote for him in the pri maries, will be for him as their party's candidate in the July con vention. Not a chance! But the unfortunate feature, from the stand point of the Republican party and the country, is not many of them will be there in the convention to vote. "Tour lunch, dear." a majority of the dclrgates to the Chicago convention will be un aware of it but who knows they might be. Anything can happen in a political convention and usually does. In this direction we have found in the morning paper the following statement from Mr. Taft, regsrding a recent Gallup poll, which showed that voters aged from 21 to 29, listed them selves as follows: Democratic: 41 per cent Republican: 24 per cent. Independent: 35 per cent. Mr. Taft. quote: "With all allowances for non-voters, this is not a poll to give Republicans any overconfident. Only among those over 50 do the Republicans get a majority, and then it is by a narrow margin with still 23 considering themselves INDEPENDENT. This means that we Reoubli cans have to do a first class job of public education if we expect to win any elections. How right you are Mr. Taft! This Mr. Taft does not happen to be Senator Taft of Ohio. He is the Senator's brother Charles in our judgment a far more honest, enlightened, intelligent and liberal member of the Taft clan. Incidcntly he is running for Governor of Ohio this year and his big brother. Senator "Bob what a pal! is opposing him! In other words there are almost as many voters in the coun try of all aces who call themselves "Independents," as there are orthodox 100 Republicans and let anyone figure out how many classified Independents will EVER vote for the GOP party with "Mr. Republican" as spokesman and leader! Add them up Jumbo and change your tactics before it is too late. e Quite a transformation since we came down on the Streamliner Washington's Birthday. Then everything was dull, dark, grim and snow-covered. Trees were bare, fields ditto, it was a forbidding world and now . "Spring has CAME!" Everything is bright and green all shades of green the red-buds are out, probably the wild lilacs and the boxwood, altho none of the latter, as yet, along the right-of-way. There is water everywhere, every creek is a torrent and the Sacramento and Pitt rivers are raging toward the sea, Mt Shasta just coming into sight on the far northern horizon is a solid ice cream cone not a bare spot! sparkling in the brilliant sunshine, "God's in his Heaven," all's not only right with the world, but all is growing the annual re-birth of perennial Youth has come! m And now on the Friendly S.P. AGAIN, the train has replaced the stricken and struck "Greyhound" and WHAT a train! One coach (no cafe car), captured at the fall of Rich mond, Va., and has just been dusted and repaired as it came from the Civil War museum, one engine and 25 passengers on a train that was supposed to have no excuse for being. However, the service is as good as ever just one big family including the engineer who operates his old wreck without a single bump, and the brakemen and conductor who arrange the seats for comfort and act as red caps without a suggestion it is against the rules of the R.R.' brotherhood. And best of all, here we are in dear old Lithia Ashland with "Home Sweet Home" at the bottom of the hill! R.WJL In the Day's Hem By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: "Elated friends of Senator Taft and Senator Kefauver talked of them today as VIC TORY BOUND candidates in the presidential nomination races, but opposition camps sounded counter-claims." rpKESE POLITICAL FRIENDS of candidates are thinking in terms of GETTING THE REINS OF POWER INTO THEIR HANDS. We grassrooters out in the sticks are thinking in terms of better and more efficient gov ernment, so that after paying our taxes we may have enough left over to pay our cost of liv ing bills. What they want is POWER. What WE want is more to live on after the cost of government has been deducted. TF YOU'LL keep that funda- mental distinction clear in your mind, you'll be able to vote more intelligently when the time, comes. Squabble of Atomic Weapons Example of Unification Failure VfORE from Washington: 111 "Representative Priest, Democrat, from Tennessee, call ed Kefauver's victories in the two primaries (Wisconsin and Nebraska) 'proof that the rank and file of the Democrats are going to insist that he be nominated'." Well, it is all very interesting. And in one direction the re sults' in Wisconsin and Nebraska could be considered Taft vic tories. That is, if Taft had not led the race in both states, he would have been out of .it completely, no matter what might have hap pened subsequently. As it is, he will be a contender, and in view of the reactionary make-up of the convention, he might even get the nomination although, if we were running LLoyds we would make the odds about 10 to one against it In the past five or six weeks, roaming around the Bay Area box-fights, hoss-races, ball-games, hotel corridors, parks, dentists, doctors and now on a "streamliner" train; there is one comment we have heard repeatedly and this is the literal, nonprejudicial TRUTH the whole truth and nothing but the truth. . That remark has been this, quote: "Well, if they nominate him they will lota AGADfr The "him" refers to Taft, and the "they" to the Republican party. - We heard it in the smoking room of this car only a few hours ago. And it was couched in imperfect English, but there was no doubt of the speakers complete and unquestioning conviction. Let anyone who f avors'"Mr. Republican" as their partys candi date this year, climb down from the ivory tower or the Waldorf Astoria Tower suite and mix with the rank and file, anytime, anywhere. If from the standpoint of what is best for his own party, he doesn't proceed to get off the Taft bandwagon and climb on the EISENHOWER bandwagon or at least stay off the Taft he must be, from a purely party standpoint in a desperate suicidal frame of mind. It makes little difference, from a practical politi cal standpont, whether this sentiment is well founded or isn't IT IS THERE! It is all over California and we see no reason, to doubt it is country-wide. Under such circumstances it Is hard to believe Eisenhower Report On Europe Situation Features Week's News By PHIL NEWSOM United Press Foreign Analyst The week's balance sheet be tween the good and bad news in the hot and cold wars: . THE GOOD 1. Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower said in his first annual report on the status of his European com mand that the military tide now is flowing toward the West Eu ropean newspapers reacted well to the report which they regard ed as a facts-of-life statement that the United States could not afford forever its present rate of spending for aid to Europe. 2. Britain, the United States and Italy began talks to give the Italians a greater voice in ad ministration of the free territory of Trieste. Secretary of State Dean Acheson moved to quiet Yugoslav fears that the dispute was far from settled but at least the way seemed to be opening for eventual direct talks between Italy and Yugoslavia over the Trieste zone which Italy claims but Yugoslavia occupies. 3. London reported that the British government has managed to halt the disastrous drain on her gold and dollar resources which only recently threatened the sterling area with bank ruptcy. At one time, gold and dollar reserves wre flowing out at the rate of $63,000,000 per week. With that halted, the trick now win be for the sterling area to sell more goods to the VS. and Canada. THE BAD 1. Nationalist ambitions and religious ties kept the North Afri can trouble pot boiling. Moslem demonstrations broke out in Mo rocco and Algeria and continued in Tunisia as result of strong French action against the Tunis ian Nationalists. Arab and Afri can nations moved to get the dis pute before the United Nations, ever strong French objections. ( 2. Belgian Prime Minister Jean van Houtte said in Brussels that Belgium had reached the limit of its financial capacity and that the Western Europe rearmament plan "cannot be come a reality" unless a new currency regulation system has been worked out It was another example of the artificial barri ers standing in the way of Eu ropean unity mentioned by Eisenhower in his NATO report - 3. Reports from Rangoon told of a clash between Chinese Com munists and Chinese Nationalist forces who had taken refuge in wild Northern Burma. It appear ed that the clash had taken place inside the poorly defined Burmese border, a possibility that had been foreseen when Burma first protested the pres ence of the Nationalist troops. Burmese regular Army forces were reported heading north to drive the Nationalists back into China, or at least out of Burma. rpHIS is a time for plain speak ing. So here goes. I hope Senator Kefauver isn't nominated bv the Democrats BECAUSE HE IS A NEW DEAL ER. He was elected as such first to the House and later to the Senate. He is perfectly frank and honest about it. He has said frequently in his present cam paign that he is opposed to Presi dent Truman personally but be lieves in what Truman believes in. I admire Senator Kefauver personally. I concede his right to be a New Dealer if that is the way his beliefs run. I respect his frankness and I grant his sincerity. But I fear his political philos ophy. I hope we turn away from the concept of the welfare state BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. ONE more from Washington, "Senator Maybank, Demo crat, from South Carolina, told a reporter in Washington this morning that Senator Russell, By LYLE C. WILSON Washington -rUJO The tax payers would get an eye-full if they could read the secret rec ords about the atomic artillery which the Army Department says it must have for national defense. After the taxpayers read the with the Solid South" sewed up, has the Democratic edge." SENATOR MABANK, of course, like the other profes sionals, is talking for effect. I don't think Senator Russell, Sol id South or no Solid South, has the Democratic "edge." I think the fact that he is from the Deep South precludes the possibility of his nomination. The Democratic party is split almsst as sharply on North South lines as it was in the 1850s. Its BIG problem for the past decade has been to walk the fence without getting pushed off on either side. That as much as anything else, explains Harry Truman. As a border-stater, from Missouri, he could maybe hold the party together. That think ing could result in Kefauver's nomination on the theory that he is from Tennessee, another border state. Or it might nom inate Vice-President Barkley of Kentucky, also a border state. Russell is from the DEEP South. He'is a states-righter. The basic concept of the New Deal (or the Fair Deal, which is just a new suit of clothes for the same idea) is BIG FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. The voting power lies in the North. That, I'd say, lets Russell out CONTINUING this monologue on personal beliefs, I find I'm a states-righter, too. Not in the Civil war sense, but in the Jeffersonian sense. Jefferson was a states-righter because he feared big central government. What has happened in the past 20 years proves the soundness and the RIGHTNESS of Jeffer son's fears. What we need, perhaps more than anything else if the Amer ican way of life is to be pre served, is to bring the bulk of our government back to the state houses, the court houses and the city halls. record . they probably would have enough to say to give somebody an ear-full. The story, in brief, is that the Army feels that the military outfit which fails to get a slice of the atomic weapon pie will be in for an in ferior position. So the Army De partment wants what it calls atomic artillery. Emphatic "No" Furthermore, . the Army re fuses to take no for an answer. The civilian heads of the Na tional Defense Department say no very emphatically. Never theless, the Army has ordered from -the Baldwin Locomotive Works 20 giant howitzers to fire atomic shells. The Army got around the ci vilians by designing the guns to fire ordinary shells as well as atomic projectiles assum ing that they can actually fire atomic projectiles at alL Weight Raises Question But the guns are huge. They are costly. They weigh so much that the question has been rais ed whether they could be mov ed from place to place efficient ly in or out of battle. Their weight has raised another ques tion: Whether they could be moved across any but the very strongest bridges. A gun which cannot be moved across a bridge would be of limited service. It is difficult for civilians to know for sure whether the gen erals are right or wrong. But the civilians' decision has been made and it was against the guns the Army says it must have and of which it has ordered a few at considerable expense. The Army's determination to get some of the atomic pie is put down here by the best informed people in town to competition among the services. Each wants to be at least equal to the other. The Army's anxiety to get in on the act is being cited here as another serious failure of armed services, unification. The facts are that unification is not work ing as well as it 'should and the atomic weapon squabble is a sample of it.-- The taxpayer may get a break, however. Congressional Atomic Energy Committeemen began Thursday to inquire fur ther into the Army's atomic ar tillery plans.

TAFT'S NEXT HURDLE . Washington Sen. Robert A. Taft, looking amazingly spry for a man of his age who has been through what he has been through, positively exuded gen iality and optimism at his press conference the morning after the Wisconsin and Nebraska prima ries. Only once, in fact, did the familiar note of acerbity creep into the flat Taft voice, when he characterized the goings on of Harold E. Stassen as "ridicu lous." The comment seemed a poor return for a most important fa vor; for there can be very little doubt indeed that Stassen saved the Taft bacon by splitting the pro-Eisenhower vote in both Wis consin and Nebraska. As a prac tical matter, however, it is also undoubted that Sen. Taft has won a victory. His captures of Wisconsin and Nebraska dele gates keep him very much in the ring, even though the com bined vote of his opponents was far larger than the Taft vote in both cases. ( The real question remains, meanwhile, whether the kind of showing Sen. Taft made in Wis consin and Nebraska can pos sibly compensate, in the long run, for the immensely heavy setback he almost simultaneously received. This setback was, of course, the announcement by President Truman that seven years in the White House were enough for him. On balance, the defection of Truman can quite possibly end by hurting the Ohio Senator even more than his much publicized defeats in New Hampshire and Minnesota. fPHE reasons are obvious. In the first place. Sen. Taft's whole campaigning strategy and meth od have always been keyed to Truman as his opponent. Against Truman, the special form of Taft attack was undeniably effective. It will lose much of its effect against Gov. Adlai Stevenson, of Illinois, or Sen. Estes Kefauver. or any other Democratic candi- j date who cannot easily be de nounced for "corruption," "soft ; ness towards Communism" and 1 the like. i Second, and far more impor tant the Republican profession als who favor Sen. Taft both thought he could beat the Presi dent and expected that the Pres ident would be the man Taft had to beat. Why they were all so sure Truman would run again cannot be easily explained. But their confidence that Taft could beat Truman was well-founded on soundings of popular senti ment and buttressed by the in quiring Doctor Gallup. In the last Gallup poll, Taft edged Tru man out by a margin of 45 to 42 per cent So long, then, as the profes sionals could look forward to a Tsft-Trumpn race, theN Republi can gamble on Taft seemed very reasonable indeed. In the new situation, however, different sets of odds are likely to be quoted. Last August, Gallupf gave the Ohio Senator a trial run against Chief Justice Fred Vinson. His great office has taken Vinson out of national politics for a long time, and he certainly has no personal following in most parts of the country. Yet Vinson led Taft by a comfortable margin of 43 to 37 per cent. e OLLS ought to be suspect in general," and this kind of trial heat between candidates who have not yet been nominated ought to be viewed with special suspicion. Yet it is very hard to imagine a Republican conven tion choosing a standard-bearer who is marked in advance as having less vote-appeal than any of the probable , choices of the Democrats. And if the polls con tinue to be as unkind to "Sen. Taft as they have been to date (except of course in the tests against Truman, which Taft has been winning for a year), the argument that "Taft can't win" is going to have a cruel force at Chicago. In addition, the Taft forces have, to get over another, more immediate hurdle which almost everyone seems to have forgot ten about. In the Massachusetts primary on April 29, full slates of Taft and Eisenhower delegates have already been entered, and a preferential vote, on a write-in basis, is also provided by law. In other words. ' this will be something quite different from GOP State Leader Quits in Seattle Seattle (U.R) W. Walter Wil liams Friday night announced his resignation as chairman of the Washington state Republican central committee for "the best interests of the party." Williams, who recently accept ed the post of national chairman of the Citizens for Eisenhower or ganization, made the announce ment at a meeting of the execu tive committee of the GOP cen tral committee here.' The Seattle financier had been under fire from some GOP quar ters, notably those backing the Taft-for-President movement for aligning himself with a Republi can presidential possibility while chairman of the state committee. the complicated voting in Wis consin and Nebraska a direct trial of strength between the two leaders, with both of them out in the open for the voters to see. If Gen. Eisenhower wins hand somely, as his backers confident ly anticipate, it will be at least as hard a knock to Taft as his New Hampshire defeat. - Over all, therefore, the wisest observers are still calling it a hard race, but they are still giv ing better odds on Gen. Eisen hower than on Sen. Taft The Michigan and Iowa state con ventions will shortly show more clearly how matters really stand.'
