Worth of Comment On BY HARMAN United Press Washington (UP) Four years ago at a national political convention, a woman stepped be fore the tele vision cameras looking like a ghost- writer's ghost. She was blonde and had refused to use makeup The Nation al Association of Radio and T e 1 e v i s ion Broadcast e r s Harmon Nichols doesn't want that to happen again. They have come. up with a little booklet on TV manners called "Campaign ing on TV." It is calculated to help candidates and others unfa miliar with the problem in TV. The first section is devoted to the "television talk.'' "Televis ion," it says on page five, "is an intimate medium." The broad casters and TV-ers advise the speaker, or candidate, to be for mal and sincere in his conver sation. "Don't shout," the instructions. "Remember your eyes as well as your voice reveal your sincerity to the viewer."

When Senator Morse demands the removal of Secretary Acheson because of the state department's passport policies, we disagree with him 100. And we are not upholding the passport policies. They may be as bad as our Junior Senator maintains or they may not be. That is not the point. Not as we see it. The point is that no public official, in this administration or any other, should be condemned and kicked out of office without first appraising his record objectively, and as a WHOLE. Such an appraisal, in this department's judgment, would clearly establish the fact that Secretary of State Acheson has been, not only a GOOD State Secretary, but all in all the BEST, with possibly one exception, in the past quarter of a century. Acheson has been the highest type of unselfish, able and con secrated public servant. At a great sacrifice financially, and even more in comfort and peace of mind, he has devoted himself un tiringly day and night to the welfare and betterment of his coun try and to the peace of the world. To demand now his immediate removal, his return to private life discredited and in disgrace, derstatement uncalled for and It is hard to believe a man lightened, as we know Wayne consideration of the matter, hold this morning's press reports, he troversy. ; Such extreme action will meet with the approval of the Jen ners and McCarthys of course. But we can't believe it will ever meet with the approval of those who have a comprehensive knowledge of the Acheson record, of the man and of his construc tive accomplishments during the past critical decade. The above will surprise some of our readers, especially those who have never understood this paper's strong and often-expressed admiration for Oregon's junior Senator. We know one person .it will NOT surprise, howeve that person is the senator himself. For we have often expressed our great admiration for Dean Acheson and frankly criticized, in the past, Morse's attitude toward him it happens to be one issue regarding which we never have agreed. We have simply decided to agree-to-disagree as far as Truman's Secretary of State is concerned and let it go at that. And frankly, the undersigned welcomes this disagreement. For through the years, agreeing one hundred per cent on prac tically everything Senator Morse said and did, aroused a suspicion that we had lost our sense of discrimination and had become a type we detest particularly in the newspaper business a blind and syncophantic "YES-man." (Of course we knew better than that really but it was a sort of vagrant fear and doubt from time to time.) Now we know we have agreed with Mr. Morse because he has been right at least as we have seen the right and when, for the same reason he has been wrong, we have not agreed with him, as in the present instance. That clears the atmosphere so to speak and in these dog days here in New York, anything that can clear the atmosphere should be doubly welcomed. The idiotic hero-worship of "Sugar Ray Robinson" by local sports experts continues. The apogee whatever that is was reached this morning when Jesse Abramson of the Herald-Tribune devoted nearly two columns to a post-mortem of the fight declaring that Referee Ruby Goldstein (who with the aid of the humidity knocked himself out in the 10th round) could have rendered the decision to Sugar in that 10th on the same ground he had rendered the decision to Saxton some months ago on the ground he outclassed his opponent Minelli the bout was declared therefore a mis-match, with Sax ton the winner. As if this were not the supreme limit, the sapient Abramson went on to say that naturally Maxim was not floored by the heat for he did nothing but serve as a punching-bag for "the greatest fighter the world has ever seen," therefore there was no more reason for his collapsing than for a man who might have been watching some "other man dig a ditch." In other words, "Sugar" was the ditch-digger, Maxim the sidewalk above! Sorry there will be no movies to prove our point, but if this isn't tops foe muddled logic and school-boy adulation what in the world could be? Here is "the greatest fighter classing so completely his opponent that he SHOULD have been declared the winner (before he collapsed) and yet this greatest fighter with "his superb and devastating offensive" made so little impression, upon HIS opponent, that the latter never batted an eye, missed a sidestep or feint, and when HIS (Maxim's) opponent was out on his feet, did a jig in the middle of the ring, ana was as cool and collected as a pedestrian "watching a man dig a ditch!" , Add that up and see what you get! FANTASTIC! Now "Sugar Ray" it is stated, wants a rematch. But not for 15 rounds, he only, wants ten THIS time. For what? So he can claim being the champion in three classes: welterweight, middleweight and light heavyweight. OK as far as this department is concerned but WHAT a farce! Sugar isn't a heavyweight, light or dark. He never will be. He can outbox any one on two legs for 10 rounds no doubt, but that doesn't prove that he is the champion light-heavy in the world any more than it proves he can out-play Jackie Robinson on sec ond base. Let Sugar stick to his class or quit and as he is .getting along as a fighter and has over a million dollars in the bank, our advice would be the latter. But probably he will be no smarter than Joe Louis and keep on and on until some younger and better man really knocks him out with no assist from the climate, or the adoring New York sports writers.

"Few folks can hold a televi sion audience with a talk for more than 15 minutes, certainly not more than 30 minutes,'' the booklet says. "You must get in terest from the start and make your ending thought-provoking." Here is a. point a lot of the professional television perform ers might have a look at. "Your Television Appearance."

They tend to distract the viewers. If you are bothered with dandruff don't sport a dark blue or black suit. The camera will pick up the tell-tale flakes on your shoulders.''

I hope you don't call THIS awful place civilization?" Matter of Fact MOTIVES OF IRVING. IVES Washington Senator Robert A. Taft's biggest tantrum to date was touched off last week by his fellow Republican and long time colleague, Senator Irving Ives. The trouble started with a report that Senator Ives did not want to run for fe-election in New York on a Republican ticket headed by Senator Taft as Presidential nominee. Senator Taft was extra touchy that morning, because the Gal lup poll had just forecast that he would be badly beaten by al most any Democrat, whereas any Democrat would be heavily defeated by General Dwight D. Eisenhower. At any rate, when reporters asked the Ohio Sena tor about the reluctance of Ives to run on the same ticket with him, he took off like a flushed partridge. He denounced Sena tor Ives, Governor Thomas E. Dewey and Dr. George Gallup for 30 minutes by the clock, without pausing for breath. Among other things, Senator Taft furiously attacked the re port about Senator Ives as mere "Dewey propaganda." In this, at least, Senator Taft erred. In the first place, Senator Ives relationship with Governor Dewey " can best be described as friendly but remote. Dewey did not want to run Ives for the Senatorship six years ago. Ives was nominated because of his personal and independent strength among New York Re publicans. Both men still vividly recall these important facts. All the amenities are preserved, but neither the Governor nor the Senator makes propaganda for the other. In the second place, Ives very definitely does not want to run on the same -ticket with Senator Taft, for the extremely simple reason that he thinks he would be beaten. And this is true al though, man for man, Ives is probably the strongest Senator ial candidate in either of the major parties in New York State. In fact, young Franklin Roose velt is now resisting pressure to accept the Democratic Sena torial nomination, partly because he does not hanker to make the race against Ives. TVES has put his problem bleak- ly and plainly to a great many of his friends. The minimum normal Democratic majority in New York is now around 500, 000 votes by his estimate, in which almost all other experts concur. With Senator Taft as Republican Presidenital nomi nee, Ives thinks that the upstate Republicans would come out to vote in larger numbers than usual. But he also thinks that the Democrats would vote abso lutely solidly against Senator Taft. He is sure that many Eisenhower-minded Republicans would desert their party. And he is also sure that most of the crucial independent voters (scorned by Taft as mere mug wumps) would join the Demo crats. In these circumstances, Ives forecasts that the margin gained by Senator Taft among the or thodox upstate Republicans would amount to less than noth ing, when balanced against his losses. In ,short, although ex tremely confident of his own standing in the state, Ives be lieves Taft would lose New York by such a heavy majority that he would bring down the rest of the Republican ticket in his own ruin. "All you have to do is add," is the leitmotiv of Ives' talks with those close to him. "Our party just can't cary New York, or California, or a lot of other states we've got to carry for that matter, unless we pick a Presidential nominee who will be strong with the independents and have some appeal to the many discontented Democrats. We can do it with Ike, but we can't do it with Bob Taft." Hence Ives now defin:f?Iv wants to bow out if Taft is the ! T) .t-i: 3 -J i personal interests are all on the side of doing so, since a losing campaign will be a huge wasted investment of money and effort, and he can easily move from the Senate into a distinguished By Roland Cos 5 LITTLE SCOUTS By Jossph and Stewart Alsop and profitable private job. It must be added, however, that party loyalty may overcome Ives' own desires and interests. With his personal strength in New York, Ives would help his party to retain its control of the State Senate, even though de feated himself. He also told friends that if Governor Dewey and the other party leaders press, him to run- again for this reason, he "hardly knows what he will do." ' SINCE these views of his began to be known, Ives has said nothing for quotation except a prim "no comment." This, in it self, speaks volumes. There is no doubt whatever that the fore going is an accurate summary of the New York Senator's atti tude and opinions. Maybe Senator Taft is right and Senator Ives is wrong. May be Senator Taft is right and Dr. Gallup is wrong. Maybe Senator Taft can win nationally by the kind of campaign he waged in Ohio, although it would have been gross flattery to call his Ohio opponent a political zombie. But it is still fairly meaningful that at least 90 per cent of Senator Taft's support comes from the rockbound Re publican states and the Southern rotten boroughs, whereas the Re publicans in the vital swing states all but unanimously op pose the Taft candidacy.

"The sessions, which will end Mo.nday, deal with foreign pol icy, economics, national defense and individual freedom. A round of sight-seeing and a visit with President Truman are also on the program." IIHAT are these young people. ' ' who come from big and lit tle towns all over Oregon and Washington, doing? Why, in their FORMATIVE years they are getting a first hand look at the processes of their national government. They are chosen from among young sters who have already served in model YOUTH legislatures in their own stastes. So, you see, when they get back home they will have a pret ty good ' working knowledge of government at ALL levels. TT IS a priceless experience for "- them, and it ought to be of tremendous value to our country as a whole. If we have one need that is greater than another, it is to get the RIGHT kind of peo ple into the government to get rid of the cynical notion that politics is a degrading bus iness which the "right" kind of people should avoid as they would avoid the plague. I hope these young people, as a result of the opportunities they have had, are attracted to gov ernment service. I hope what they have seen will convince them that service to their gov ernment is a RESPONSIBILITY to be assumed and not a personal privilege to be sought. TN THE news of today there is another story we all should read. It is TRAGIC. It wrings our hearts. But it tells us some thing about our country we need to know. It has to do with Platoon Ser geant Jerome F. Sears, Port land, Oregon, and Corporal El mer A. Scott, of Nunica, Michi gan. Their platoon was under attack in the grim hills of Kor ea. With Chinese artillery lay ing down a carpet barrage, com munist infantry in overwhelming force attacked the American po sition. Let's tell the story from here on in the wods of Sergeant Gene Hayes, of Cleveland, Ohio: "Sears and Scott ordered us to withdraw. But instead of withdrawing themselves they slipped to the side of the hill and opened fire on the Chinese to DRAW THEIR FIRE while we pulled out. "Although both were badly wounded, they continued to fire on the advancing enemy. When last seen alive, they were fighting hand to hand with a group of Chinese soldiers." rjUR platoon pulled back. A " counter - barrage was called for. Our artillery blasted tbe communists. On the heels of it, our men charged back up the hill with bayonets fixed and drove off the Chinese, thus pull ing victory out of defeat. They found the dead bodies of Scott and Sears. H EROES? Yes! A thousand times, yes! But they were more than that. They were LEADERS. The bus iness of a leader is to look out for his people. Scott and Sears did that. They saved their men, and their men rallied and SAV ED THE DAY. JF WE had leadership like that on the home front, there is NOTHING the United States of "America couldn't do. with her husband's relatives.

Churchill Has No Plans To Give Up As Prime Minister Editor's note: Homer Jenkt, a member of the United Press foreign news staff, will write U.P. Foreign Editor Phil New som's column for the next four weeks. Newsom is on vaca tion. By HOMER JENKS Despite the rumblings against him in his homeland, Winston Churchill has no intention of stepping down as prime minister of Great Britain for at least an other year. Friends say the 77-year-old warrior is determined to remain at 10 Downing street tradition; al residence of the prime min ister, until after the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II next June. To Deal With Uprisings Meantime he expects to deal with political uprisings against his virtual one - man rule of the Conservative party as they arise. To the man who led Brit ain to victory in World War II, these are mere skirmishes that make his declining years more interesting. He easily and quickly dispos ed of the latest muttering against him within Conservative party ranks. It found its prin cipal expression in the so-called 1922 committee, an organization of rank - and - file younger Con servative members of the House of Commons, Took Bull by Horns As usual, Churchill took the bull by the horns and appeared personally before the rebellious Tories last week. He answered their complaints and left the meeting in undisputed com mand of the situation and of the party. To suggestions that he retire because of his age, he said he was prepared to do so whenever his mind or his health showed signs of failing. Neither has, he said. Moreover, he said, age alone is no criterion of ability. He is fond of recalling that William E. Gladstone still was prime minister at 85. Others had contended the government was accomplishing so little it was losing the sup port of the voters, as evidenced in recent Labor party victories in municipal elections.

But he pointed out the government already has stem med the chaotic drain on the na tion's gold reserves. Moreover, the government is hard at work to restore the nationalized steel and road transport industries to private enterprise. Churchill did heed proposals that Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, as his chosen successor, should get some experience on domestic matters. Although ha said Eden could not be spared from the foreign office at pres ent, he gave him the additional job of chairman of the Cabinet Economic Committee. Then the bald, stooped "old men," as he is affectionately known, plunged back into more pressing affairs at a pace that kept his five private secretaries hopping. COMMUNICATIONS Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the wrttei although under certain circum stances the use of a pen name or Initial for publication is permis sible. The Mall Tribune reserves the right lo edit- all letters with a view to clarification and conden sation. Letters submitted for pub Ucatlon must not exceed 400 words Anti-Vivisection To The Editor: Vivisection (the use of living, and often con scious animals for medical and surgical research and experimen tation) represents needless bar baric suffering and agony to "man's best friend," his dog. It is unnecessary to the phys ical welfare of the human race (according to certain eminent medical authorities). It has made little or no contribution to med ical and surgical science '. . . that could not have been bet ter accomplished through other means (as also attested by these medical authorities). The vivisectionists prefer not to admit that they have been wrong . . . persist in this abuse of our pets. The laws of some states and cities force dog pounds to turn over all dogs in their possession (your pets) to medical research labor atories and medical schools for vivisection. These laws were passed under the pressure of medical groups under the guise of "essential to medical research for human welfare" these laws have since proven erroneous by these very institutions them selves, by way of failure to sub stantiate their claims. Furthermore, officials of these institutions maintain that these animals in most cases are given the same pre and post operative care in sanitation and pain pre vention as is given humans. How ever, when the "iron curtain" of secrecy in these laboratories has been broken through by those of us interested in this, work, much evidence has been revealed to prove the unsanitary, some times filthy, conditions to which these unfortunate animals are subjected before, during and aft er operations and experiments of the most heinous nature. Many of the tests and experi ments, all needless and without justifiable results, would make the torture chambers of some of the world's worst war lords look mild indeed! Few, if any, of these experi ments have resulted in the ad vancement of medical and sur gical science yet they are methodically repeated, over and over again, on other helpless animals. ' The comparatively few dis coveries that man have proven of value to man could have been faster and better achieved through other means and without resorting to such barbaric torture (certain eminent medical authorities, have testi fied to this, in fact are ashamed of this blot on their profession) yet vivisection, in all its hein ous barbarism goes on, and on behind closed doors.
