Song Titles
"Copyright does not protect

not subject to copyright." So
states Arthur Korb in his in
formative book "How To Write
Songs That Soil." It seems titles
should be copyrighted. Some
titles ore so different and so
effective In exploiting a song
that the originator should be
protected. For example, consider
such song titles as "I Wonder
Who's Kissing Her Now, "I
Can't Give You Anything But
Love, Baby," "Every Little
Movement Has A Meaning All
Its Own," "Some Enchanted
Evening" and many others.
There have not been many cases
of two hit songs having the same
title. But there have been some
notable examples. Frederick V.
Bower and Irving Berlin both
wrote hit songs titled "Always."
Bowers wrote his first.

Matter of Fact
THE TAFT STRATEGY
Washington The strategy
for Chicago adopted by the forc
es of Sen. Robert A. Taft is now
being clearly revealed. It has no
parallel in the history of Amer
ican national politics. But it is
precisely the strategy by which
the Ohio senator captured or
stole would be a more accurate
word the crucial Texas dele
gation. In brief, the Taft-controlled
Texas State Executive commit
tee used its power to decide con
tests, in order to pack the state
convention with phony Taft del-
gates. The packed convention.
meeting under the protection of
heavily armed deputies thought
fully provided by the Taft lead
ers, then elected a pro-Taft tem
porary chairman, L. J. Bencken-
stein.
Benckenstein quickly ruled
that all the phony delegates
could vote on all contests. The
packed convention thereupon
voted to legitimitize itself, and
dutifully named a pro-Taft dele
gation to the national convention
at Chicago. It was just as simple
as that. Obviously, if you can
pack the hall with phony dele
gates, and you then let the
phony delegates vote that they
are not phony after all, you can
control any convention on earth.
This is the way the Taft forc
es now "expect to control the Re
publican National convention at
Chicago. Two recent develop
ments are tip-offs too flagrant
to be ignored.
AN THE ONE hand, the Taft-
controlled Republican Na
tional committee has nominated
the Taft stalwart, Walter Halla-
nan of West Virginia, for the
key post of temporary chairman.
Putting an avowed and open
partisan of one of the candidates
into this theoretically Judicial
post was once tried, without
success, by the Pennsylvania
gang In 1880 Even in .1912, Eil-
hu Root was not an overt sup
porter of William Howard Taft.
In short, the choice of Hallahan
for temprorary convention
chairman is- without precedent
in Republican history.
On the other hand, the Taft-
controlled National committee is
even now at work, packing the
convention for Senator Taft. The
device being used is simple. The
Taft managers have included
very special gimmick-rule in the
provisional rules of the national
convention. Under this gimmick-
rule, the convention Is to hear
no contests except for delegates-
at-large. Contests for district del
egates are to be referred to the
appropriate state organizations.
for Judgment in the states.
The two states where there
are major contests are Texas
and Louisiana, The Texas and
Louisiana organizations of Na
tlonnl Committeeman Henry
Zwcifel and John E. Jackson are
like very small, very exclusive,
rather disreputable T a f t-for-Presldent
clubs. In Texas, there
are 32 district delegates and six
delegates-at-large; and in Louis
iana there arc 11 district dele
gates and four at large. Thus the
gimmick-rule allows Zwcifel
and Jackson to sit in judgment
on 43 out of the 53 delegates
they themselves have stolen.
By this system, the prelimin
ary packing of the Republican
National convention Is to be eas
ily accomplished. Hallahan is
then to march grandly to the ros
trum, in the Benckenstein man
ner, and declare that all dele
gates on the temporary roll may
vote on the convention's perma
nent rules.
flMlE PERMANENT rules are of
course to include the gim
mick rule, giving Jackson, Zwci

fel and the others like them the
power to legitimitize their stol
en district delegates. The con
vention's faked majority is to ap
prove the gimmick-rule. With
four out of five of the phony
Southern delegates thus seated
"under the rules," the conven
tion is to hear the remaining con
tests for delcgates-at-large. And
Hallanan will rule that the
phony delegates already seated
by the phony majority can vote
on these few remaining contests;
and so the phony majority will
perpetuate itself and gain full
control.
Such is the blueprint, which is
so clear that it might as well be
posted on the public notice
boards. What Senator Taft's fa
ther did in 1912 looks pale and
almost prim compared to this de
sign for a steam-roller prepared
by his son's managers.
It is hard to believe that when
the final test comes, Senator
Taft will choose to use the
steamroller his managers have
designed and built for him.
Quite aside from the senator's
reputation for sterling honesty,
there is the practical politics of
the problem. The steamroller
may get the senator the nomina
tion. But the nomination will
hardly be worth very much af
ter the scenes that will be enact
ed in Chicago, before the watch
ing eyes of the entire American
electorate, if the steamroller
goes into action as now planned.
Moreover, even if the passions
of his long struggle cause the
Ohio senator to persist, it is al
most impossible to believe that
all his friends will follow him.
In the Taft delegations from the
Northern states, there are many
men and women whose main
aim is not to nominate the sen
ator, but to elect a Republican
president. Such as these, while
ready to vote to give Senator
Taft the nomination, are unlike
ly to vote to steal it for him. For
tunately, even the most harden
ed organization politicians still
feel some concern for appear
ances. (Copyright, 1952, New York

Too Many Chair Warmers
To the Editor:
I read in the Mail Tribune
about the state employees being
turned down for a raise in sal
ary on account of the emergency
fund being low on money.
Well, I am a taxpayer and
voter in this state and I think
there are too many men sitting
in a chair in the state employ
ment office trying, as they say,
to get you a job when two men
could do the work of the six
or eight there at more wages
than they earn.
Cut down the seat warmers
and give two or three more
wages, as that is all we need
there, and let the seat warmers
go and pick strawberries or
what have you.

Minute Men Outshone
To the Editor: I would like to
compliment the pilots that are
flying for the anti-hail corpora
tion for their efficiency in
storm prevention.
The Minute Men that you read of
in history have nothing on these
pilots. A cloud has only to ap
pear in the sky in the Applegate
valley that there is not a plane
flies out to combat it and knocks
it out whether it be hail or rain
cloud,, and they don't leave un
til every drop of rain has been
knocked from the sky.
We don't believe they have
care or respect for the dry land
former that lives down there.
It is all the same to them if he
can't exist as long as they pro
tect the man who produces the
pears.
Let this practice continue for
a while all the dry land farm
er will have is a smile.
But that will be OK with the
folks in that town over there.
For they believe that big busi
ness all comes from the man
that produces the pears.
The pilots claim they don't
prevent rain. But you know
folks say many things besides
saying their prayers.
Let us take all industry away
from that town over there ex
cept the business that comes
from the pears.
The families and schools in
that town over there would fare
sort of poor if they had to de
pend on business that comes
from the pears.
So, let's think a little more of
those industries and folks out
there and a little less of the man
who raises the pears.

Questions and Answers on What Goes on at the Capital
Furnished by Congressional Quartorlr News Features.
Q I see Vice President Bark

the first time in two years.
What was it all about?
A As Senate President, the
"Veep" can vote only in case
of a tie. He voted "yea June
4 to break a 41-41 tie, thus
saving from defeat an amend
ment to continue the public
labor industry make-up of the
Wage Stabilization Board, but
strip it of most wage disputes
powers.
Q Does.. Congress., have., any
say about the agreements the
U, S. and other countries made
May 26 and 27 with West Ger
many? A As treaties, the agreements
must have U. S. Senate approv
al, by a two-thirds vote of those
present. The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee began hear
ings on them June 10. One of
the documents, a peace contract,
would give the German Republic
almost complete independence.
The other would extend the
North Atlantic Treaty mutual de
fense setup to "include West
Germany.
Q Are treaties which the U. S.
enters into legally binding?
A Yes. The Constitution" says
that laws enacted by Congress,
all treaties made under authori
ty, together with the Constitu
tion itself "shall be the supreme
law of the land."
Q What about the House bill to
increase price supports for cot
ton? A It would bring about an in
crease by lowering the 1952
crop's standard for parity and
price support purposes. The
change would apply only if the
Agriculture Deartment officially
estimated a 16-million bale crop
The rise in the price support lev
el would be about three and one
half cents a pound. The House
passed the bill June 5 by a 156
62 standing vote. ,

sides of the world.
Of the three appointments,
Gromyko's seems most worthy
of attention now.
Gromyko has been described
as a Soviet hatchet.
Ho will arrive in Britain at
one of its .most critical times.
The country is politically di
vided, with one clement strong
ly opposed to rearmament and
favoring closer relations with
Russia, including as an immedi
ate step a four-power conference
to reach agreement on Germany.
Despite some slight improve
ment, Britain has not been able
to halt its slide toward bank
ruptcy. Those who oppose rearmament
and favor closer relations with
Russia charge that the rearma
ment program is mostly due to
pressure from the United States
and that artificial restrictions are
robbing Britain of trade with
Russia and China which could
reverse the whole economic
trend.
Job May Be Two-Fold
Gromyko's job then may be
two-fold: to exploit the already
existing differences between the
United States and Britain; and
finally to upset the United States u
and British-supported plan for .
bringing German trops into ai
European army:
Altogether, the Russian diplo
matic shakeup, biggest since the

and Japan.
