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."

A bachelor who has remained
single because he disliked the
idea of matrimony is a rarity.
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

noticed most women preferred
cats to dogs. Then Oliver Gold
smith said: "That is because
women also are clever and like
cats display much patience in
stalking their prey."
