TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, July 24, 1952 tao, SHIP Political Platform Oompared Chicago U.R) A compari son of main planks in the 1952 Democratic and Republican plat forms: FOREIGN POLICY Democratic Peace with hon or is our goal, and can be at tained if post war Democratic policies are continued. We have hurled back the Reds from South Korea, showing the Com munists that the United Nations will resist aggression. The Un ited States can't face aggressors alone, so it will support Allies around the world. Collective se curity is our goal in the Pacific as well as in Europe. Aid to For mosa will be continued. Republican Democrats lost the peace, fumbled and vacillat ed in a futile attempt to contain communism. They invited war in Korea then refused to fight it to win. The GOP will fire dip lomats who engineered our pres ent plight, will wage peace and win it; will support collective security, but limit foreign aid; will give Asia equal priority with Europe, and won't forget the Americas either. NATIONAL DEFENSE Democratic Pledges contin ued development of balanced de fense forces, land, sea and air; reject "defeatist" view that we can t afford all the defense nec essary for security. Republican Arms program is "disgracefully lagging." Rus sia may not wait. GOP will de velop defense force "in being, as distinguished from paper plans." Adequate air power will be built as fast as possible. CORRUPTION Democratic Party commends congressional disclosures, "un er vigorous Democratic leader ship," of derelictions in public service, and pledges to continue investigations as needed. Slander and defamation of character won't be tolerated. Republican .. Administra tion record of "fraud, bribery, graft, favoritism has . . . shock ed and sickened the people." GOP will end corruption, oust crooks and grafters, restore hon est government. CIVIL RIGHTS federal legislation to guarantee all, regardless of race, creed or origin, equal right to jobs, per sonal security, the ballot. Also urges action to end Senate fili buster "after reasonable debate." Republican GOP. believes states carry main responsibility in maintenance of civil rights, but pledges federal action against lynching, poll taxes, and segregation in national capital. It will enact law "to further just and equitable treatment in the area of discriminatory em ployment practices," but this won't apply where states end such practices on their own. COMMUNISM Democratic Administration has been alert to dangers of dis loyalty in government service, has exposed and punished those guilty. President's loyalty pro gram "has served effectively to prevent infiltration by subver sive elements and to protect hon est and loyal public servants against unfounded and malicious attacks." Republican Administration has appeased Communism at home and abroad. Reds have in filtrated government, at cost of lives, dollars, and atomic se crets. There are no Communists in GOP. A Republican president will overhaul loyalty program, hire only those of "unquestion ed loyalty." PRICE, WAGE CONTROLS Democratic Party promises to remove controls when condi tions allow, but will retain them "so long as the emergency re quires them." Democrats will try to redress injury done white collar and fixed-income families by "weakening" amendments Republicans in Congress forced into anti-inflation laws. Republican Democrats have used controls to bolster party power, not control inflation. He publicans will end "injurious" price and wage curbs and halt senseless" use of other restric tions on business. GOP will fight inflation by encouraging full production. Further inflation RENT CONTROL Democratic Party will con tinue rent curbs in critical de fense areas "and in the many other localities still suffering from a substantial shortage of adequate housing at reasonable prices." Republican Rent controls will be ended except where de fense production has produced a "critical" housing shortage. TAXES AND SPENDING Democratic Party rejects "reckless promises" to cut taxes, but favors reduction, especially for low income groups, "as rap idly as defense requirements permit." Nation can't escape bill for security, but spending will be kept to lowest practical level. Tax loopholes will be closed. Party- opposes general federal sales tax. Republican GOP goal is bal anced budget, reduced debt, economy in government, cut in taxes. Taxes will be collected impartially and without political interference. LABOR Democratic Party "strongly advocates" repeal of Taft-Hartley law, which interferes with collective bargaining and tips scale in favor of management Will work for legislation to deal with national emergency strikes. Republican GOP favors re tention of Taft-Hartley, with such amendments as experience proves necessary. The party con demns President Truman's sei zure of industry to force settle ment of labor disputes. AGRICULTURE Democratic Present farm programs must be retained and improved. Party rejects "sliding scale" price supports and favors supporting basic crops at not less than 90 per cent of parity. It 'advocates "practical methods" to extend price supports to other storables and to perishable com modities. Republicans GOP wants to help farmer, not socialize him. It pledges a flexible support pro gram aimed at "full parity prices for all farm products in the market place." It favors commodity loans on non-perishables and locally-controlled mar keting agreements on perish ables. It opposes crop limitations. STUNNED BY LOSS of wife and four of his eight children, Pete Quintana gazes into space, unaware of comforting words of nurse and friends. They found him digging with bleeding hands in rubble of Tehachapl building where tots died. (International Souwiphoto) Democratic Party favors "must be and can be prevented."

Practically all bachelors over 40 have either had an unlucky love affair or couldn't get the kind of girl they wanted to marry them. The United States has had only one bachelor president. That was Buchanan. He fell -in love with a beautiful and wealthy Lancaster, Pa., girl named Anne Coleman. They became engaged. Then Anne broke the engage ment. From that blow Buchanan never recovered and so remain ed a bachelor all his life. Backward Look. Inspired by dean of drama critics George Jean Nathan' statement that the current Broadway theatrical season the "worst in forty-five years,' I checked back in the files to see . what was wrong with the season of 1907. That was the year "The Merry Widow," star ring Ethel Jackson and Donald Brian made its bow. Also the year Ziegfeld produced his first "Follies," starring Anna Held "The Warrens of Virginia," pro duced by David Belasco was on the boards. Mary Pickford was in that. Other attractions of forty-five years ago were Mabel Taliaferro in "Polly of the Circus," John Drew and Billie Burke in "My Wife," Maclyn Arbuckle in "The Round-Up." Jack Barrymore in "The Boys of Company B," May Robson in "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary," Marie Doro in "The Morals of Marcus," Nazimova in Ibsen's "A Dolls House," Ellen Terry in Shaw's "Captain Brass bound's Conversion," and Cecil Lean in "The Time, The Place and The Girl." Many young old timers will undoubtedly feel Mr. Nathan has done the season of 1907 an injustice in comparing it with the current seasons pa thetic assemblage of low grade dramas. Asking. Queries from clients. Q. Who wrote the song titled "Slow Boat to China"? A. Frank Loesser of New York City wrote that one. Frank also wrote "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition," "They're Either Too Young or Too Old," and "Baby, It's Cold Outside." Q. Discussing the speed of the ocean liner the United States I said the Italian ship, Rex, was once the fastest on the trans Atlantic routes. Right? A. Quite right, sir. That was in 1932. Then the French S. S. Norman- die broke the record of the Rex. The Queen Mary broke the Nor- mandie's record. Briefly. British race tracks feature both a daily double and a daily treble. Latter calls for picking the winners of three successive races. It pays off in very fancy prices . . . Don Ameche is one of the most prolific papas in the entertainment world. He has six children. One son is named Tom my. Names of the rest of the Ameche progeny are Donnie, Ronnie, Lonnie, Bonnie and Connie . . . More presidents of the United States have been born under Scorpio than any other sign. No president has been born under Gemini. Among The Married. Recently while a husband was trying to teach his wife how to drive a motor car, the lady be came excited and backed the car up on the sidewalk and through I a store window. so tne couple had a day in court. The judge was sympathetic. That is, with the husband. He said no hus band should try to teach his wife to drive a motor car. That a professional instructor should be engaged. That when a hus band acted as an instructor. heated arguments ensued even among the most loving couples. His Honor said the wives seem ed to resent having their hus bands teach them anything. That the ladies almost invariably lost their tempers. The judge, how ever, admitted that the conde scending manner of most hus bands when teaching their wives to drive was a source of under standable irritation. Anyway, sir, keep this in mind. Send your wile to an automobile school. Cats and Dogt. Dr. Samuel Johnson, Boswell, David Garrick and Oliver Gold smith were discussing the rela tive value of cats and dogs as pets. Doctor Johnson preferred cats. As you' know, the good doctor had a pet cat named Hodge. Boswell preferred dogs. Garrick observed that he had 7ENITH NEW "Reaent HEARING AID FS7C CMdkieo Mm i J 1 Mid titrw CMt GEORGE E.
