:W0 MEDFORD (OHEGOW) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, July t, 19S2 (BOP Chicago Convention Captures World Interest By HOMER JENKS UP Staff Correspondent For the first time, aij American political convention has cap tured the unfeigned interest of mo3t of the rest of the world. The battle for delegates at the Republican National Convention in Chicago is front-page and often bannerline news in newspapers from London to Tokyo. Never before, in the opinion of most Europeans and Asiatics, have they had so much at stake in a party presidential race. Have Taken Sides And, like most Americans, they have taken sides in the contast between Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Sen. Robert A. Taft, with self-interest justifying their choice. Britain and Western 'Europe are in Eisenhower's corner. They know and respect Eisenhower for his inspired leadership of the World War II invasion armies 1 J HE BIG "IF" If yoa like to speed ...

' They believe that Eisenhower would keep American military and economic aid' flowing to them if he won the presidency. They fear Taft would return the U. S. to isolationism, at least so far as Europe is concerned. Asia Favors MacArthur The situation is reversed in the Far East. Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur still is revered both in Japan and in Formosa, all that remains of Nationalist China. If they car't have MacArthur, they would settle for the man Mac Arthur supports Taft. Both, they believe, would see that the Far East isn't slighted for Europe. Of all the nations closely fol lowing the convention, Britain probably is the most interested. The U. S. embassy In London early took cognizance of this and prepared a 15-page booklet ex plaining the American electoral system. It has become a best-seller, with two editions already sold out. London newspapers, headed by the stately Times, are de voting both their news and edi torial columns to the Republican contest. Times 'Against Taft A Times editorial Monday warned Britons that the Republi can Party was in danger of being "captured by its neo-isolationists and -Pacific-iirsters.' " It accused Taft supporters of "brazenly" using party machinery to win control of contested delegates. Even the Sunday newspaper News of the World, whose ex ploitation of sex and crime has boosted its circulation to a world record 8,423,112, shoved these SPECIAL OFFER I !

The ' left-wing socialist newspa per Franc 'Tireur said the con vention's choice "will influence . . . the policy of a power the U. S. which has taken, and in which the rest of the world has confided, an overwhelming re sponsibility." Ike "Favorite Son" West German newspapers are worried over the fate of Eisen hower, their favorite "son." One commented v. that .Eisenhower's "Alice in Wonderland innocence" is no match for Taft's profes sional" political know-how. In Japan, the Tokyo newspa per Mainichi devoted half its front page to a report on the first day of the convention. Only Russia and her Commu nist satellites profess to be dis interested in the outcome of the race. They regard all American political leaders as war-mongers and "slaves of Wall Street."
