MAIL TRIBUNE Editorial Correspondence Washington, D.C., June 9 at "Fast Time" as the Mayor of Our train arrived Okeh to conference at Standard Time, but We shall write a hot and stinging protest to the editor of the Times and tell him just what we think of such New Deal-Fair Deal and all around CROOKED Deal!

Those who live In glass houses, As this is written Taft's lead has been cut to less than 600 votes. Considering the Isolationist conditions in that state politically, this adds up to a moral victory for Ike. But, of course, the Taft forces will hail it as a great tri umph for their man. Considering the Taft record cut contest between the two men crowing should be expected and excused. No matter what the margin, a primary victory is a primary victory these days, with only a few weeks to go now before Our guess Is the Eisenhower more worried than anywhere else. fessional politicians are concentrated as nowhere else. Machine pontics are also more In evidence in any other section of the country. Mr. Republican is the canal date with that type of support, cnts. We would not advise anyone ularly In view of the overwhelming Warren victory In California. California may well decide the result of the Republican conven tion as it did the Democratic convention 20 years ago. While condemning General tudinous" is as unfair and inaccurate as criticizing his air policies as inadequate, we grant there was eral's remarks. In fact, he took dicted he would take, placing the popular demand for a change in administration first where it should be. That Is In fact, as we see it, the one argument In favor of a Republican victory, which we believe even that master catch-as-catch-can political strategist Harry S. Truman, will find It diffi cult to combat. In our democracy the burden upon the supporters of ANY party that maintains that party should enjoy UNINTERRUPTED power for MORE than 20 years. Yes that is the one great advantage the Republicans enjoy this year the only way they could throw It away as we see it would be to nominate Robert Alphonso Taft! R.W.R. Why Gen. Sherman Said It The latest statement from Gov. Stevenson, who previously had said he "could not accept" the Demo cratic presidential nomination in 1952, is that it would be "presumptuous, arrogant and conceited to say now what I would do in the event of a drafts The persuad ers seem to be making some progress. a e e TN ALL this talk of getting a candidate to say "yes" after he had once said "no" reference is constantly made to what Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman said in refusing to be considered for the Republican pres idential nomination of 1884. Sherman, in recent com pulsory retirement from the Army on reaching 64, wired John B. Henderson, a friend who was about to be chosen chairman of the Republican national con vention : "I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected." It is sometimes assumed that this meant the nom ination was Sherman's for the asking. As a matter of fact, he would probably have had a real tussle for it, in view of the religious bigotry of the time. Sherman, not himself a Catholic had been brought up by a Catholic family after the age of nine, when his father died. His wife was an ardent Catho lic indeed, Sherman wrote Mrs. Henderson in 1883 that if he were President, Mrs. Sherman would prob ably "keep the White House full of priests." His son Tom had entered the priesthood. a a e a a THE newspapers reported that when Sherman was discussed at the convention, many of the delegates declared Ilatly that they would oppose him because of his wife's religion. Several Protestant church pa pers had declared editorially: "No Roman Catholic for President." R. R. May Street, Highway Salem (U.R) Twenty-eight persons lot their lives in street and highway accidents In Ore gon last month, a preliminary count of May fatality reports re ceived by Secretary of State Earl T.

Republican race, people tend to forget that the Democrats have also got to nominate a presidential candi date this year. But after Tues day s voting in South Dakota and California, the Democratic outlook Is also extremely inter esting. Sen. Estes Kefauver's tri umphs in both primaries would normally place him well out in the lead for the Democratic nomination in all circumstances. As a practical fact, however, Ke fauver's own managers concede that if Sen. Robert A. Taft is the Republican choice, the Demo cratic party is almost bound to draft Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois. If Taft is nominated, the surge of feeling will be too strong, the Kefauver people ad mit, for their own forces or for the reluctant Illinois governor to withstand. a a a fN the other hand, the Ke- v fauverites are extremely con ndent, and with some reason, that their man will get the Dem ocratic nomination if Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower is the Republican choice. Nor are they at all discontented by this sec ond-best outlook. They have al ready parlayed a television repu tation Into a major presidential candidacy. With a bit more par laying, and a lot of emphasis on Gen. Eisenhower's domestic con servatism, they think Kefauver may even be elected. The way they figure the Sen ator's chances for the nomina tion Is simple enough. They think he will go into the Demo cratic convention with close to 400 delegates, which will be a lot more delegates than any one else. Most of these, moreover, will be faithful supporters. The Kefauver delegate slates have b'?n recruited from the politi cal Adullamites. Most of them have no other allegiance, and few of them have enough inde pendent standing to start trading on their own. .a a rPHE Senator's strategists .tig- ure, further, that both Gov. Stevenson and President Tru man will be unavailable, even for a draft, if General Eisenhow er is the Republican choice. They do not fall into the common error of thinking the Illinois governor fears to run against the general. They know, rather, that Steven son is strictly a middle-of-the- road Democrat, who cannot wage the kind of straight left-wing campaign that will be needed against Eisenhower. As for the president, he refus ed the invitation of Democratic National Chairman Frank Mc- Kinney to keynote the conven tion, for the specific reason that he did not want any draft-Tru man talk to get started. Although delegate himself, the presi dent docs not plan to attend the uemocrauc rally until some one has been named to succeed him. Then, as he has said, he will only appear to "deliver the valedic tory," And in the last fortnight, when pressed by National Chair man McKlnney and New York State Chairman Paul Fitipatrick. Truman has sworn he would not accept a draft under any circum stances. see BECAUSE of his previous re verses, Sen. Robert Kerr Is also crossed off as at best a Vice-Presidential possibility. If Kerr, Truman and Stevenson are thus discounted, only two major candidates are left among the Democrats. These are Sen. Rich ard Russell, who cannot get Northern support, and W. Aver ell Hartiman. a late entry, not taken seriously as yet by many Democratic leaders, and poison to the Southerners because of his forthright pro-New Deal-Fair Deal-civil rights stand. In this situation, the Kefauver strategists think that the real danger to their man will come from such presently inactive candidates as Vice-rreiident By KoJand Co by Joseph Also ben Barkley and Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, If they could each remove a decade from their ages, both Rayburn and Barkley would be leading Presidential possibilities already, The widespread hatred of Sen. Kefauver, both among Demo cratic Congressional leaders and organization chieftains, might well cause the convention to name either Barkley or Rayburn as a "caretaker candidate against Eisenhower. Vice-President Barkley has hopefully in vited just such a development, by persuading the Kentucky Democrats to name two Negroes and three labor leaders as Ken tucky delegates-at-large a truly remarkable development. But the Kefauver managers point out that if the Democrats make the Barkley-Rayburn type of choice, it will only be because dislike for Kefauver Is so strong among the senior men in the party. a a a rpHEY point out further than - when the chips are down, most people refuse to cut off their noses In order to spite their faces. They argue, therefore, that Sen. Kefauver's power as a vote-getter will bring the con vention around in the end. There are some indications al ready, moreover, that this anal ysis is correct. Fitzpatrick of New York, for instance, has been giving little hints that he will begin to' think about Ke fauver if the Harriman candida cy fails, and there have been similar hints in New Jersey. Just one big Northern state breaking to him should be enough to put Kefauver over. In short, always assuming the Re publicans do not name Taft, the Kefauver hopes are now very high.

By Congressional Quarterly 1. Q I've heard about a tax deduction plan to help Con gressmen make ends meet. What',s it all about? A. The House May 15 ap proved and sent to the Senate an amendment to let Congressmen deduct Washington living ex penses from their income tax. Rep. John W. McCormick (D.- Mass.) said this would remove a "discrimination" against Con gressmen, since other taxpayers can deduct expenses while away from home on business. Senate GOP leader Styles Bridges (R.,- N.H.) believed most Senators favored the provision, but with a limit "so a fellow couldn't write off a 1500-a-month apart ment. 2. Q Has Congress ever set tled the civil rights controver sy? A. No. The issue of equal rights for racial and religious minorities has been simmering for nearly a century. Some of t h e legislation Congressmen have debated and voted on, with out final decision, would ban the poll tax, lynching, job discrim ination, and segregation in the armed services. Two of the is sues were settled to an extent when the President ordered a no-discrimlna'lon policy for fed eral job hiring and a military anti-segregation policy. 3. Q What sort of a control bill did the Senate Banking committee approve? A The bill it approved May 21 would permit wage and price controls until next March 1 and extend credit and rent controls and allocations of scarce mater ials until June 30, 1953. It would continue the Capehart and Herlong amendments pro viding for upward price revis ions, set up a new wage policy board, relax curbs on dairy pro duct imports, and advise the 1 tcvcrrmcnt to end controls Al-'ioon as possible. as In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS . I liked Ike's speech. I liked it, I suppose, because he put into words nearly all the things I've been thinking about what's wrong with our country But chiefly, I'm sure, I liked it because of the strong feeling it inspired in me that HE MEANS EVERYTHING HE'S SAYING. That he isn't just saying it for ef fect. If there is any one thing we need more than anything else, it is FAITH in our leadership. Af ter that comes faith in ourselves and FIGHTING faith in the rightness of our motives and our ideals. I haven't had that kind of faith for a long, long time. Ike restored it to me. I came out of Our radio room after listening to him with the feeling that grave as our problems are we'll meet them and solve them and come out of it all right. rTHAT'S THE effect his speech had on me. I hope and am in clined to believe it had the same effect on a lot of people. If our faith can be restored, there is NOTHING we can't do. A NOTHER though was in my " mind as I listened to him. It ran something like this: IKE WROTE THAT SPEECH HIMSELF. I'm tired and sick of ghost written speeches. I grant that great actors are great men. But actors and leaders of whole peo ples have different jobs. An ac tor's job is to be a perfect mir ror for someone else. By his per sonality, by his voice, by his mannerisms he gives life to what SOME OTHER MAN has thought and said. When the great leader of a great people speaks, he must SPEAK FOR HIMSELF if his words are to put fire and faith into his followers. I just can't believe that can be done by somebody who is merely mouth ing words that have been writ ten by somebody else. T ISN'T my job here to tell what Ike said. Thanks to the amazing perfection of modern communications, everybody has already heard what he said, or has read It. All I'm trying to do is to describe the effect It had on me. Its effects was to restore my morale. It restored my morale, I'm sure, because it restored my faith. It Is TRUE that faith can move mountains. npO THOSE of us who believe in Ike and who are FOR him because we believe in him, his speech to the home folks in Abi lene brought no surprises. It re vealed him as just the kind of man we thought he is. He believes, for example, that one party has been in power too long. Sound educational train ing and wide experience have taught him that too much power held in too few hands too long is disastrous to the rights of the people. He believes that inflation, which amounts merely to kid ding ourselves about the rela tionships of money and proper ty, is a cruel delusion. He knows that the power to tax is the POWER TO DESTROY, and he knows that "elimination of waste, duplication and extrava gance" is the only way to keep taxes' reasonable. He knows that CONCENTRA TION of power is dangerous, es pecially when it is concentrated at a point remote from the mass es of the people, and he believes that if concentration of power is to be broken up as much of gov ernment as is possible must be brought back to the state houses, the court houses and the city halls. He knows that, if the confi dence of the people Is to be held by the leaders of the people, the people must be told simply and truthfully, without evasion, equivocation or mental reserva tion, what is going on. THAT IS the kind of man Ike s speech at Abilene revealed him to be. That Is the kind of man I think we need as our lead er NOW. REACTIONS to his speech "weren't all favorable. What 4. Q Does a Congressman have to live in the district he represents? A No. The only require ments for a U. S. Representative, as set forth in the Constitution, are: Residence in the state rep resented, U. S. citizenship for seven years, and 25 years of age. 5. Q Just what does a Con gressman do? A A first term Congressman, Rep. Edmund P. Radwan (R N.Y.), sized up his job this way. He should study bills (there are thousands each session, listen to House debates, attend Commit tee meetings and take care of a large volume of office work. Al so, his vast amount of mail some taking sides on bills, some making requests requires study, replies and often visits to government agencies.

French Premier Antolne Pi- nay's "get tough" campaign with the French Communists was in full swing, . and Communist at tempts to retaliate with strikes to tie up transport and other vi tal services were a dismal fail ure. Communist attempts to take over the government-owned Re nault plant in Paris was met by the workers themselves, who tossed the Reds out. The general result was a blow to Communist prestige throughout W eis t e r n Europe. Satellites Restless 2. Meanwhile, there were con tinuing signs of restlessness in side -the Russian satellite states. The latest purge hit Ana Pauker, Romanian foreign minister who once was the highest ranking woman member of the Commu nist party. At least temporarily, she keeps her government job but was fired from the Politburo and the Central Committee Sec retariat. The Reds said that man nish Ana Pauker had become too luxury-loving. But it also might mean further evidence of rising Titoism inside the Com munist party. 3. A new premier took over the government of Indo-China. New Premier N'Guyen Van Tam promised all-out efforts to crush the Communists and clean up the Vietnamese administration. It seemed to portend recognition that the war belonged just as much to Indo-China as the French. It was good news that some of the French burden in the Indo-China war might be eased. he said brought from Represent ative Carroll Reece, of Tennes see (who has been responsible for a lot of the things that have been wrong with the leadership of the Republican party' this cynical crack: "It looks like he's pretty much for Mother, home and heaven."
