Editorial Correspondence
Chicago. Julv 9 Whoever
if anyone is should have his head examined.
It is the most stupidly managed political gathering in the
writer's memory. If the Republicans aren't beaten again in Nov
ember it won't be this convention MANAGER'S fault.
Everything that could be done from the standpoint of giving
the GOP elephant another black eye has been dons. -
And more is yet to come.
Who, for example, selected General MacArthur for keynote
speaker? Then followed him up with even an older isolationist,
former President Hoover? And then for good measure, shoved
in the unspeakable Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin? -
If the convention manager, whoever he is, had gone out del
iberately to ALIENATE the independent vote which the Republi
cans MUST have to escape defeat he could not have done better.
If the Democrats do win in November for the fifth consecutive-time,
they should give this convention manager or man
agers a testimonial banquet, and a formal vote of thanks. With
out him they would never have had a Chinaman's chance.
'
We apologize to both General MacArthur and ex-President
Hoover for linking them with such a political reprobate as "Jump
ing Jo," but we really can't be blamed for that the convention
manager did it, FIRST.
McCarthy, of course, did all his familiar, and discredited
anti-communist tricks, brought in soldiers dying in Korea, Tru
man and Acheson inviting Stalin to. take over the White House
and rang the old familiar changes on Yalta, Potsdam and Teheran.
We are ashamed to say half a dozen states marched and waved
their banners in appreciation of this contemptible and discredited
harangue, but we are pleased to note a great majority " of the
states preserved a stony but eloquent silence and among them,
thank the Lord! was OREGON.
And we have to say this about former President Hoover.
As we have so often remarked, he is probably the worst public
speaker in the country and always has been. Give him one of
Cicero's most eloquent orations to deliver and Herbert would kill
it. And the audience who had to listen, also.
But he IS absolutely HONEST. He does have what the other
two gentlemen lack an unqualified and unassailable INTEGRITY.
Ke is, as we see it, like so many OLD men looking back
ward living in the past. He is in a dream-world. A realist in his
profession, engineering; he is, politically and always has been a
hopeless idealist.
He honestly believes that the United States COULD return to
the days of his youth, if it only had the will to do so the days
of William McKinley and Horatio Alger, and the Rough Riders.
As someone "has said what he really would like to do would
be to repeal the Twentieth Century.
And that is what his speech last night added up to, and what
all his post-White House speeches have added up to.
In a way it is pathetic. In another way it is tragic tragic
for him and for his party.
"The Old Man of the Sea" but a MAN for 'a that a man
one can't politically agree with, but can't help but admire and
Tespect.
And the delegates in that convention last night demonstrated
this fact. It was heartening to see and hear.
But from a purely POLITICAL STANDPOINT from the
standpoint of doing what would be smart from the angle of getting
votes what COULD have been more stupid than in these three
days of the Republican convention, placing before the people
of this country particularly tne young people, this exhibit of
THE BEST THE GRAND OLD PARTY HAS TO CFFER.
HOOVER, MacARTHUR AND MCCARTHY!

If after this "Bicuspid Bob," Rottert Alphonso Taft
SHOULD be chosen as the nominee of the Republican party, what

Asking
Queries from clients: Q. Am
a registered nurse. Although I
have never really forgiven you
for giving space to that letter
from a United States Marine
sergeant hi which he said nurses
Were "chilly propositions" on
moonlight walks, I -am still
struggling through your column
daily. Will you please quote that
poem dealing with doctors being
forgotten too quickly by their
patients? A. Regret our marine
subscriber's claim annoyed you.
Of course, the opinions of our
clients are not necessarily our
own. However, it is only fair
to state I am not qualified to
enter into the discussion you
refer to. I have never been on a
moonlight walk . with a regis
tered nurse. The poem you . re
quest, by John Owen, is as fol
lows:

Horses & Women
The following is . an excerpt
from a history of Egypt: "Among
the means of seduction Cleopatra
brought into play at her first
meeting with Marc Antony -were
some extremely provocative per
fumes." Just shows you" how long
designing females have been us
ing provocative perfumes to get
their way with men. It is also
interesting to note that Celo

charmers of .all time, did not

ality and the infinite variety

Antony. At times, bachelor sub
scribers . have asked our Horses
& Women experts to suggest a
defense against the provocative
scents used by scheming females.
It is a baffling situation. All we
can think cZ is -to wear a gas
mask. And, of course, a man
would look silly wearing a gas
mask when calling on a girl.
Dance Enthusiast
Lily Lahgtry, the "Jersey
Lily," was an enthusiastic ball
room dancer. In 1916 Mrs. Lang
try met Somerset Maugham in
New York, and in the course of
a conversation told him she was
having "a simply wonderful
time" going to public dance halls
in Manhattan and dancing all
pfternoon with paid dance part
ners. At that time Mrs. Langtry
was 64.
Reincarnation
Among the distinguished be-J
lievers in reincarnation was the
poet and painter, Dante Gabriel
Rosetti. This belief is indicated
in his poem titled, "Sudden
Light," which begins: "I have.
been here before, but when and
how I cannot -tell." Speaking of
reincarnation, permit me to once
more remind you that experts on
this subject state a human being
is always reincarnated as such.
Never as an insect, animal or
vegetable. So if you have been
worrying about being a horse,
a mosquito or a tomato in your
next reincarnation, forget it.
Ice Cream
A book listing 470 recipes for
ice cream desserts. That's what
Louis P. De Gouy has written.
A brilliant coverage of the sub
ject. Yet Mr. De G o u y has
omitted one . highly delicious
dessert. That is black raspberry
sherbert. I know of only one
place in Manhattan where this
is expertly made.

Matter of Fact
THE HARSH REALITIES
Chicago As these words are
written, it is lull before the
storm, or rather the lull before
the decisive Taft - Eisenhower
test. Maybe this is not a bad
time to reflect on the peculiar
factors which influence -such
great decisions as the choice of
American presidential nominee.
Take, for example, patronage.
Senator Robert A. Taft has said
that one of his worst handicaps
was the opposition of the Repub
lican governors. What he meant
was that the Republican gover
nors control the Republican jobs
in their states, and that they
would use this control against
him. The soundness of the sena
tor's judgment has never been
better demonstrated than in the
state of New York.
There was a substantial senti
ment for Senator Taft among
some elements in the New York
delegation, particularly in New
York City, which is not an ap
panage of the Dewey machine.
The Taft forces hoped to pick
up as many as twenty votes in
New York. But even from New
York City, many Republicans
are appointed to the important,
civil-service-free jobs on the New
York State payroll.
AT THE first Chicago meeting
-of the state delegation, Gov
ernor Dewey contented himself
with reminding the delegates
that he would be governor for
two and a half more years, and
that he had a "long memory."
His method was somewhat
blunter when he talked private
ly with the dissidents.
He pointed out to them ex
actly Jiow many jobs had been
allocated to each of their dis
tricts. He did not. trouble to
point out that these jobs were
mainly occupied by their friends,
co-workers or even relatives,-because
they knew this already.
He just told them, in plain
terms, that there would be new
job-holders in those jobs within
two days after his return to
Albany, if the dissident delegates
went on being dissident. That
way, he held New York as an
almost ' monolithic solid front
against Senator Taft.
A GAIN, there is the case of
Governor John S. Fine of
Pennsylvania. Here the problem
was more complex. ' Senator
James Duff, . who was John
Fine's friend and is now his ene
my, was almost the first man on
the firing line for General
Dwight D. Eisenhower. Normal
ly, that would entitle Senator
Duff to a great influence over
Federal appointments in Penn
sylvania, which Senators con
ventionally possess in any case.
Governor Fine is a man who
wants, above all, to rule in his
bailiwick. The influence of Sena
tor Duff, which is already con
siderable, would obviously be
reinforced by control of Pennsyl
vania appointments. ' It was
therefore urgently a problem to
accomodate Duff and Fine.
The problem was solved when
Duff, with great singleminded-
ness in the cause he has- fought
for so sturdily, agreed to forego
his normal power over Pennsyl
vania . appointments. Thus Gen
eral Eisenhower was enabled to
assure Governor Fine that the
Governor was the man he would
regularly consult about Pennsyl
vania, appointees. And so the way
was opened for the Pennsylvan
ia governor's all-important de
cision in Eisenhower's favor.
OR AGAIN, there is theicase of
Michigan. Here the battle,
curiously enough, seems to have
been fought between three great
industrial corporations. The chief
executives of the Chrysler com
pany were for Taft; the 'leaders
of the Ford company- and Gen
eral Eisenhower. All. three com
panies have vast - influence on
the Republican party in their
state. Both national committee
man. Arthur. Summerfield and
Senator Homer' Ferguson were
caught in an unhappy crossfire.
In the end, Summerfield became
an important Eisenhower leader, j

Pop! The floor's caved in!"
By Joseph and
Stewart Alsop
while Senator Ferguson, normal
ly inclined, to Taft, kept unhap
pily silent.
These .little realities of con
vention politics have been chos
en from the Eisenhower side,
and since these reporters were
the first to ventilate and empha
size the Texas steal attempted
by the Taft forces it is only fair
to note that both sides can be
tough, although the Eisenhower
people have tried nothing like
the steal in Texas. And it might
be added that the hypocrisy of
the Taft cry about "real Repub
licanism" has never been better
demonstrated than by the Taft
sponsorship of the Roscoe Pick
ett delegation from Georgia.
The truth is that this peculiar
little gaggle of so-called Repub
licans largely owes its existence
to an alliance between Pickett
and Governor Eugene Talmadge.
Talmadge Republicans, surely,
are an odd brand of "real Re-,
publicans."
In its details, in short, the pro
cess by which Presidential nomi
nees are chosen in America
often seems to have very little
to do with the democratic pro
cess. The curious thing is how
much of real Republican convic
tion, and even of real idealism,
creeps into this queer convention
process." And the other curious
thing is, how often it produces
an excellent result. '"

Babson Discusses Forecasts
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass. For over
forty years, I have devoted most
of my time to forecasting busi
ness, employment, and invest
ment conditions. I started with
five employees and now have
over one hundred and seventy
on the job. Our record has been
gooa. And turtnermore, all we
have said and done is recorded
in public libraries.
Great Chances Since 30's
Up to the time in the Roose
velt Administration when we
went off gold onto paper cur
rency, we had a yardstick by
which we could measure. More
over, there was a ceiling above
wnicn Dusiness could not go ex
cept at great risk; and a floor
below which it could not go
without disaster. For ' instance,
when in 1928 we loudly forecast
the panic, of 1929, it was neces
sary to pay 8 interest in order
to borrow on the best collateral.
Today, with prices actually high
er, these Money Rates are slight
ly above 2.
Statistics on Failures, which
were one of the best barometers
of impending changes, are anoth
er illustration. In 1928 failures
were 24,000, with liabilities of
$500 million. Yet, today, with
nearly twice the volume of busi
ness, failures are running at the
annual rate of 8,000, with liabili
ties of $300 nyllion. This, of
course, is due to the fact that
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration,, the Federal Mortgage
Banks and the various other
Government aids make it un
necessary for a concern to faiL
Therefore, statistics on failures
are now of little use when mak
ing forecasts. .
Managed Currency Dangerous
The fact is that today there
are no economic ceilings and
no floors. Three-quarters of the
subjects upon which we used to
depend in making forecasts are
now of little account. Of course,
Washington cannot continue in
definitely the present practice
of extending unlimited aid to all
groups. The Law of Action and
Reaction is fundamental, like
the Law tof Gravity, and must
someday result in an economic
crash. On the other hand, the
Government can postpone such
a readjustment for some years
more by printing more money or
more bonds. Furthermore, it
will be a great temptation for
any Administration to da this
Republican or Democratic. '
This next - economic smash
will probably be brought about
In the Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
As these words are written
(just before noon on Wednesday)
the eyes of the nation are mo
mentarily OFF the convention
auditorium and are fixed on a
smoke-filled room in a dowtown
Chicago hotel where the Taft-
dominated GOP credentials com
mittee is wrestling with the dyna
mite-laden problem of what to
do with contested delegations
from three key SOUTHERN
states none of which can be
expected to give its electoral
vote to ANY Republican candi
date.
THIS IS THE committee's di-
- lemma:
"Knowing that whatever we
do will be appealed to the con
vention floor (which yesterday
approved 658 to 548 an Eisen
hower-backed motion) shall we
risk arousing the wrath of the
floor by bulling it through and
giving all the delegates to Taft
who will need them badly on
the " all-important first ballot?
"Or shall we play it cagey
and give a reasonable share of
the contested delegates to Eisen
hower, thus making it appear
to the floor that we are going
all out to be fair? In that event,
we MIGHT get a better break in
the voting."
A FEW MINUTES later:
The committee decides
play it cagey. It gives the solid
Georgia delegation of 17 votes
to Taft. Then it gives Louisi
ana's contested 13 votes to
Eisenhower. As this is written,
it is considering a proposal to
split Texas' 38 . votes even-Ste
phen 19 to Taft and 19 to Eisen
hower.
rpHE DEADLINE is creeping up
on me, and I won't be able
to cover in this piece what they
decided to do about Texas. But
it is obvious that yesterday's
floor vote shook the solid Taft
phalanx in the credentials com
mittee. They'd like to bull it
through, but fear the effect when
their action is appealed to the
floor and ALL the delegates
vote.-
That's the situation at the mo
ment of writing this.
WATCH THE FLOOR when
" the appeal on delegate con
tests-gets there. That will be
the high dramatic hour of this
historic convention.
While the . politicians battle in
the smoke-filled downtown hotel
room (from which the public is
barred) the spectators at the con
vention auditorium down in the
stockyards section mark time.
I expect their state of excited
puzzlement will be augmented
by a fact that is inherent in the
auditorium's location. It is not
unlikely that from time to time
the great -hall's air conditioning
system will fail to function for
1 by
an ultimate showdown be
tween Congress and the labor
leaders. If each side should re
fuse to "give in," with a large
number of industries being
struck at the same time, we
could have a real depression. Al
most within sight of my office
one' of the largest bus systems in
the world has been shut down
for 120 days, inconveniencing
hundreds of thousands of people
and costing the employees and
the company a million dollars
a week. What would happen if
a' dozen of the country's largest
transportation system." should
so strike at the same time? The
steel strike, which has thrown
650,000 steel workers out of
employment, has affected so
many other businesses that the
whole U.S. production of all
goods has fallen 10 during
the past few weeks. What if the
employees of our ten largest in
dustries, doing 70 of the na
tion's business, should strike at
once!
How Can We Forecast?
By a study of new subjects,
such as dividends and wages re
ceived, selling and advertising
expenditures, and various con
fidence indices, "it is possible to
make accurate forecasts for per
haps four to six months. When,
however, "experts" attempt to
tell you what the business, em
ployment or stock market con
ditions will be for more than a
year ahead, this is" nonsense. No
facts now exist to give proper
basis for any such long-term
forecasts. Some will say, "It is
in the hands of the gods." I even
deny this and say, "It is in the
hands of Congress." If Congress
should . get fed up with labor
leaders and demand a show
down, and the labor leader?
should refuse to be reasonable,
a depression could come next
year. The probabilities, how
ever, are that Congress will al
low matters to drift for some
years. But the longer the cancer
runs its course before a surgi
cal operation, the more danger
ous the operation will be when
it finally takes place.

ja moment or so and nauseating
odors will creep in. '.
The delegates won't know
whether these disgusting smells
come from the adjacent stock
yards or FROM THE SMOKE
FILLED ROOM DOWN TOWN
where the politicians are stirring
their witches brew.
It could be either way.
WHILE THEY WAIT, they lis-
."" ten to political oratory. One
of the speeches is made by Penn
sylvania's Governor Fine, who
tells them the Republican party
must UNITE if it is te be vic
torious. The eyes of the Demo
crats, he says, are upon us and
they're HOPING for us to pull
a boner such as winding up in a
Donnybrook Fair, with every
body using his shillallegh on ev
erybody else.
Personally, I haven't much use
for this guy Fine. It looks to me
like he's waiting around for the
psychological moment to use the
Pennsylvania delegates he is sup
posed to hold in the hollow of
his hand TO GET HIM WHAT
HE WANTS.
That's one of the big things
wrong with the convention
system.
LET'S FLASH BACK for a sec
ond to last night. Last night
and 77-year-old Hoover. Herbert
Hoover- and his hard-hitting, no-punches-pulled
speech.
Men who keep the faith and
fight the good fight, through
brutal unpopularity as well as
admiring acclaim, through the
bad days as well as the good.
Men like that are the kind of
men to tie to. In the long, long
pull, they're far better for all
of us than the demagogues. They
bring us fewer headaches.
That 15 minutes of wild, cheer
ing, heart-warming demonstra
tion they gave Hoover last night
was something. There on the spot,
he shed some tears and out here
2,000 miles away I felt like it.
His head may be bloody, but last
night it was still unbowed.
TN CLOSING, let me quote a
paragraph or so from 'the non
convention news of this a.m.
At Castle Dale, Utah, yester
day the army engineers set off
160 tons of TNT and blew the
side of a mountain out. The pur
pose of the blast was to gather
information to help determine
HOW FAR DOWN. MAN MUST
BURROW AND IN WHAT
KIND OF TERRAIN TO BE
SAEE FROM ATOM BOMBS. (
THERE IS A close connection
between that experimental
blast and what is happening in
Chicago this week. That TNT
explosion to find out what is
best to do IF THE ATOM BOMBS j
BEGIN TO FALL is the grim
backdrop against which the ex
citing drama in the Chicago con
vention hall is being played out.
The atom bomb is the sword
of Damocles that hangs over
us, suspended by a slim thread.
Will it fall?
Put is this way.
It will be LESS LIKELY TO
FALL if we have the right kind
of leadership. In Chicago, we're
struggling to GET the right kind
of leadership. The right kind of
leadership is the most important
element in the conduct of human
affairs.

Pinay Government Wins
2. Premier Antoine Pinay 's
government won' a 267 to 216
confidence vote in the National
Assembly, assuring France of a
stable government for at least

Western Allies without worrying

of a parliamentary defeat that
would force his resignation.

cameral Congress. The compro
mise bill also gave the Assembly
control over the Cabinet, which
previously derived its power
from the president rather than
the legislature.
