Broken Shoestring Campaign Symbol Culver City. Calif. (U.PJ Mrs. Marian Mosick, a six-foot house wife who admits she isn't "wil lowy," ts campaigning for vice president of the United States on a shoestring. Mrs. Mosick, 38, Is running on an independent ticket with F. E. Peterson of Topeka, Kan., with a broken shoestring as their cam oaign symbol. The shoestring Is supposed to show voters what Mrs. Mosick and Peterson believe is In store for them unless the national debt is trimmed and taxes reduced. Mrs. Mosick has another rea son for wanting to get to Wash ington. Her husband, Master Sgt. Oscar Mosick, is a career Army man and her son, Jimmy, 18, Is a member of the 40th Infantry Division.

Men Not at Work in Congress Administration leaders who are working for an adjournment of Congress before fhe national conven tions (first of which meets at Chicago less than five weeks hence) are showing worry over congressional ahRenteeism. In the Senate during recent weeks con sideration of several "must" measures has been post poned because of the absence of key senators. Ihe House id tin with its work most of the work it is go ing to do in 1952, that is. Nevertheless, absences there . . ... M-i j are causing pain to trie men responsmie ior getting the Truman program through in some recognizable shape. WHEN the foreign aid bill was up in the House, the Republicans took command and were able to defeat half a dozen motions to adjourn when ad ministration leaders needed time to strengthen their lines after a series of reverses. Noting the enronic absenteeism of many members of the majority party, the Democratic whip, Rep. Priest (D-Tenn.), said he had not been able to find a remedy. "They just don t seem to care. Many of them are busy campaigning. Priest himself has been absent on only one of the A9. ve-and-nav votes taken in the House since Con gress met in January.

Taft promised in Viia nnmtmicn for convention delegates in the South Dakota primary that if he is nominated and elected to the presidency, along witn a Kepuoncan v,uugiesa: ta ves will he reduced hv 15 per cent within a year. Hep. Reed (K., N. i.i, wno win De cnanman ui the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee of the House if the G.O.P. is returned to power, had promis ed earlier that on the first day of the 83rd Congress he will introduce a resolution to roll taxes oacK to tne pre-Kdrea level. SIMILAR promises were made by Republican lead ers six years ago, and they paid off handsomely in the 1946 congressional election, when the G.O.P. won control of both houses. Kep. Knutson, neir ap parent to the Ways and Means chairmanship, had promised an across-the-board cut of 20 per cent in in dividual income taxes, and a bill to carry out this pledge, with some modifications H. R. 1 of the 80th Congress was put through the House in March 1947. ' With the support of Sen. Taft, the Senate chang ed the effective date of the tax cut from J. an. 1 to July 1, 1947, and passed the bill in May. It was vetoed by Preen ri on t Truman in .Tune and the veto was sustained by the House. Another try in July brought another . ... tiii . n i eto which was upneia oy tne oenaie. An almost identical bill was aeain passed by the Hnnso in Fehrnai v 1948 and bv the Senate in March. This time a presidential veto was overridden, and it was estimated that the new law would cut federal fov. w Si s hillinn a venr. Meanwhile, the Presi- v. . . . . i n 1.1. !J tA nn.rt.llnn for foW months. dent had submitted his ureeK-iui Kisn am pi ogiau w -- Congress, and the prospect was that more ratnei than less tax revenue would be needed by the federal treasury. . In the ensuing campaign, Truman made much ol what he called an act of irresponsibility by the Repub lican Congress. And in the 1948 election the G.O.P. lost control of both houses. Rep. Knutson, who had hepn a fixture in the House since 1917, was among the missing when the 81st Congress convened in January 1949. R.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, have accused backers of Sen. Robert A. Taft of "an outrage on decency" at Republican state conventions in Texas, Louisiana and Georgia. Governof Sherman Adams of New Hampshire issued a state ment in behalf of the 10 gov ernors demanding that the Re publican national convention "repudiate" tactics used by Taft supporters at state conventions in the three states. In the Day's News "Geel The puddle I was in way 'way over where the top of my boots woulda been if I'd had 'em on." Ike Was Lonely Man While Considering Europe Invasion Day Abilene, Kan. (U.R) You'd never guess to see him now, but eight years ago this week Dwight David Eisenhower was the loneliest man in the world. It wasn't that he had no friends. But the situation in early June, 1944, had reached a point where Eisenhower was the one man in the world of Allied fighting men who could say when the invasion of Europe would begin. In the early morning darkness of June 5, the general went to his tent alone and sat down. Not even Britain's Prime Minister Churchill could help. Nor could Gen. Omar Bradley, Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery, or Air Chief Marshall Sir Trafford LeiKh-Mallory. In the fateful time of decis ion, Eisenhower was left qes perately alone, in contrast to the happy crowds around mm Tuesday in Abilene. Leigh-Mallory sincerely felt D-Dav would bring the "futile slaughter'1 ol two airborne div isions. Other dissenters, among them weather experts, had wash ed out an invasion planned for June 5. Eisenhower, in his own ac count of Operation Overlord as the D-Day assault was called in its planning stages, said ne could not cancel the airborne phase without seriously endang ering the Utah Beach plan ana disrupting chances for success elsewhere. He announced at 4:15 a. m. June 5 that the attack would commence on June 6. Before success of the venture could be assured, there was an "interminable wait" between the final decision and the out come. Elsenhower said he spent that time visiting troops, the last of which were those of the 101st Airborne Division. Once the plan was in opera tion, Eisenhower no longer was alone. His D-Day orders of the day declared that "the free men of the world are marcning to gether to victory!" By FRANK JENKINS As these words are written, the supreme court has just ruled (by a vote of six to three) that President Truman's seizure of the steel industry was unconsti tutional. The majority opinion asserts that: "The President's power to is sue the seizure order must stem either from an act of congress or the constitution itself . . . "The founders of this nation entrusted the law making power TO THE CONGRESS ALONE, in both good and bad times." THE OPINION takes note of the argument that other Presidents without congression al authority have taken posses sion of private business enter- Drises in order to settle labor disputes and then adds that "ev en if this be true congress has not thereby lost its EXCLUSIVE constitutional authority to make the laws necessary and proper to carry out the powers vested by the constitution 'in the gov ernment of the United States or any department or officer there of.' " It concludes: "It would do no good to re call the historical events, the fears of power and the hopes of freedom that lay behind tneir choice. Such a review would but confirm our holding that this seizure order can not stand. "In Texas:" the statement said 'just last week the state ite- publican Executive committee brazenlv seated rump delegates and threw out delegates elect ed by an overwhelming major ity of Texas Republicans. This hiah - handed maneuver naa one purpose only to insure national convention delegates for the candidate Taft favored by the majority of the executive committee rather tnan ior tne candidate favored by a major ity of Texas Republicans." Flaarani Disregard The statement added: ' "This same flaerant disregard of ma jority rule and legal processes is being attempted in Louisiana and Georgia for the same pur pose. On The Side ey e. v.

Previously five successful songs were required for membership. Now a compos er can ioln after writing one successful song. Red-Haired Women To hand is an invitation to in terview sixteen beautiful red haired women. These strawber ry blonde charmers are to han dle the elevators at the new of fice building at 260 Madison Ave., Manhattan. They will be smartly attired in white uni forms. So, sir, if you are an ad mlrer of red-haired beauties, keep the'address In mind. Being an elevator girl seems rather a monotonous job for a beautiful girl. However, the opportunities to meet persons of importance are great, Don't forget, Dorothy Lamour was once an elevator airl. Besides, I understand eleva tor girls average six marriage DroDosals a week. That is, bru nette and blonde elevator girls. I haven't the figures on red heads.

Truck driver Joseph Drunk must pay a $25 fine on drunken driving charge or go to Jail for IS days. TT IS A historic decision. It settles, once and for all, the contention that the President has INHERENT powers not spelled out in the constitution, in doctrine of inherent powers smacks of the ancient dogma that the king could do no wrong If the king could do no wrong, it followed that he could not be restrained by the parliament or the people.

On it are depicted a winged ox, a I silver arm and staff with an en- wined serpent. The winged ox is the symbol of gt. Luke, patron saint of physicians. If you know a doctor named Casey, Kelly, Ryan, O'Brien or Flaherty or any medico of Irish birth or des cent, ask him what the silver arm and the staff with the en twined serpent stand for. If he can't tell you, he rightly owes you a stogie or a package of Ir ish pipe tobacco. Please Note It was none other than J. Ed gar Hoover who said: "In 1917 when the Communists over threw the Russian government there was one Communist to ev ery 2,277 persons in Russia. In the United States today there is one Communist for every 1,814 persons in the country. Mr. Hoover made that statement in 1947. Briefly Am hearing of many left- handed dentists.

De Mille bathtub scenes was not Gloria Swanson. as is often al leged. It was. Florence Vldor, that was in 1918 in a film titled, "Old Wives for New." It was a year later that Gloria Swanson was featured in a bathtub In the De Mille film titled "Male and Female." Ceclle De Mille has produced sixty-nine pictures and there were bathtub scenes in fif teen. The most stupendous of all these bathtub scenes was in "The Sign of the Cross." In this film Claudette Colbert was shown bathing in miik. Consld ering what De Mille has done to ward glorifying the bathtub it is strnn; e thtrc never has been one named after him. IT HAD been freely predicted that the court would dodge the Issue of the constitutional powers of the President. It didn't. It met the issue squarely, hold inethat private property can not be seized without due pro cess of law and that due process of law requires action by con eress and by congress ONLY, It seems to me that is a chall- ange to congress to get busy statemen and patriots, rather than as politicians seeking re election at any cost including the cost of pussyfooting a n doine nothing that will make anvbodv mad in an election year Congress can meet that chall enge in two ways by stand ing pat on the laws it nas ai ready psssed or by passing oth er and presumably better laws, Siening the itatemeni wun Adams were Go.ernors Edward F.

' New Division Lines In Germany Affect Nation's Landowners VaaV.,M su Phil Newaoro SUPPOSE the division in the court will surprise you. The decision was written out by JUSTICE BLACK and con curred in by Justices Frankfurt er, Douglas, Clark, Jackson andj Burton It was dissented to Dy Chief Justice Vinson, who was joined in his dissent by Justice Reed and Justice Minton. Justices Black, Frankfurter, Douglas, and Clark have been generally tagged as New Dealers and therefore inclined to follow New Deal reasoning, which has leaned toward the theory of In creased power for the chief ex ecutive Yet, in the final pinch, when the time came to ACT fin ally and irrevocably, they held to the older and more conserva tive construction of the constitution. Chief Justice Vinson has been almost universally looked upon as a middle-of-the-road conser vative, as has Justice Reed. Only Justice Minton, among the three dissenters, acted as he was gen erally expected to act. THAT, I'd say, is a hopeful sisn. It encourages the belief that you can't tag men with a label and expect them to act Invar iably os the label calls for. In great emergencies, GREAT men tend to forget labels and to act as statesmen and patriots. By PHIL NEWSOM United Press Foreign Analyst Heinrich Brabender and the American housewife have one thing in common. Both are suf fering irom a potSito short age with a difference. The Ameri can housewive can have her potatoes, pro viding she can find them, and has the money to pay for them. , Heinrich practically needs a passport and a visa to get his. But he knows where they are. They're on that portion of his land which lies across the border of East Ger many and which now is split off from the rest of his small holdings by barbed wire and a tough guard. As a result of the signing of the West German peace contract, United States responsibilities in Europe have now advanced from the Rhine river to the Elbe. We will have troops there Indefinite ly. ' Loses Four Acres Also as a result of the peace contract, plus the European Army-Treaty to which West Ger many is a signatory, the Russian Iron Curtain extends to the Elbe, and farmer Heinrich Brabender has lost four acres of his land From now on, he is subject to being shot if he is caught cross ing the no-man s-land which the Russians and East Germans have set up all along their border with the West. Despite it all, Heinrich and his neighbors say, "We are still happy we are living this side of the line in the free world. That's what they told a United Press correspondent this week, and they knew whereof they spoke. While the Russians mouth of freedom In East Germany, their actions have been quite different, In East Germany hardly a line of double tracked railroad re mains. Rails have been torn up and shipped to Russia, leaving only single tracks. Factories Dismantled Whole factories have been dis mantled and shipped to the East, Yet, because of the split between East and West, the Russians are collecting the whole burden of war reparations from what re mains of East German industry It is estimated that in war plants and production, the Rus sians have taken $10,000,000,000 out of East Germany. Germans presumably rule in the East German puppet govern ment, but over them are Rus- , sians, just as in East uerman Industry. ' ODDOsitlon political parties ar allowed, but have no voice. Op position newspapers get no news print. We havent' seen the end of Russian reprisals for the Bonn Peace Pact or the European Army Treaty, but one frequently overlooked fact is worth noting: Russian action as regards both East and West Germany is proof that the Reds still fear the Germans. Beetle Supply Said Ample for Battle On St. John's Wort Jackson county farmers may . ' -M now secure ampie numoer ui beetles to combat St. Johns Wort, Tripton or Klamath weed If they will visit the Jackson ville nursery next Friday, Juns 6, according to W. B. Tucker, county extension agent for agriculture. L. G. Gentner, Southern ure- enn Extierlment station ento mologist, will be on hand to di rect operations and explain tne history of the beetle imports- f tlon, Tucker noted. Planted in 1950 The beetles were planted in this area by Gentner in the spring of 1950, the agent point ed out. They have increased to such an extent in two years that now there are ample numbers for additional plantings. The beetles do not work on any other type of plant and will die when the St. Johns Wort weed is no longer available for its food, he explained. Those wishing to obtain tne beetles should meet at the coun ty courthouse at 9:30 a. m. Fri day where extension agents and Gentner will lead the parties to the fields west of Jacksonville where the beetles are to be ga thered for transplanting to oth er weed-infested fields. Those desiring colonies should bring a wide-mouthed three- gallon bucket, or one or more freezer type quart or half-gallon containers. Court Records phi .irit roimT Robert L.
