Strange Message
Found in Bottle
Cannon Beach (U.R) Lovers
of mystery will be happy to
know that C. A. Speer, Portland,
was in possession Thursday of a
strange note written 22 years
ago. He found the note in a bot
tle while walking on the beach
near here.
The edges of the note were
worn by long bobbing in the sea
and some of the words were il
legible. The note was dated January
25. 1930 and it read in part:
"To whom it may concern . . .
You who discover this may like
to know something about me . . .
I am the exported ruler of Koo
gie Island 1800-1820 . . . Since
the war between the Germans is
still on I cannot let anyone
know where Luchivicek Andere
ati is. But he is in my capture
. . . Help me friend of all men
be kind. I have found a real
fountain of youth. That is the re
ward I will give you people."
The note was unsigned.
Chicago, July 22 (Special Air Mail) The Chicago Tribune
publishes a complete U.S. weather map every day a very inter
esting feature these inclement times. For nearly a week Oregon
has been white, which means fair; Illinois has been speckled
which means rain. IT'S THE CLIMATE! over 10 inches in
two days in Rockford wasn't bad. But you should see those corn
fields the corn has grown nearly a foot in the week we have
been absent. And all of it that rich, dark, upright, lusty green! The
Sucker State is going to be corny this Fall.
Speaking of the Tribune Robert Alphonso was a good loser
but the old Colonel isn't. Ever since Taft's defeat the Colonel has
each issue taken some sort of dirty swipe at the Republican nom
inee, while it has printed every day at least a dozen letters, re
fusing support for the GOP ticket. Where is the Tribune going to
go if it refuses to support Eisenhower and Nixon? (We know
where it SHOULD go, but it is too much to expect it will.)
To date the Chicago Tribune treats the Democrats far more
kindly than it treated the Eisenhower Republicans. In fact now
and then it exhibits a bit of fairly good humor. Candidate Barkley
this morning was characterized as "aged in the wood" for example
whose favorite libation is "MINK-Julep." A donkey symbol em
bellished this front page witticism. Ok, but even the Tribune, we
wager, can't get Barkley's GOAT. For poise, combined with a sense
of humor, Alben Is tops.
A week ago we asked the NEA to solve the problem of the
Chicago Tribune explain how a newspaper so bigoted and un
principled editorially, could not only overshadow all other news
papers in a great state like Illinois, but maintain year after year,
its dominance.
After considerable research and analysis in the old-home-town
of Rockford we believe we have the answer and it isn't especially
flattering to the boys and girls who write the editorials. This
is the answer the Tribune is the best NEWSpaper in its field
with accent on NEWS.
The Tribune's society pages are far in the lead, ditto sports,
markets, features, and illustrations.
Some of our friends in Chicago have refused to let the Tribune
come within reading distance, because of its reactionary editorials
and its slanting of political news. They have taken a stand which
the undersigned heartily endorses. But they represent a decided
minority. The Tribune maintains its prestige and its tremendous
circulation not BECAUSE of its editorials, but in SPITE of them.
Along the line of how the Democratic party has changed
through the years, the two principal speakers at yesterday's open
ing provided eloquent testimony.
We refer to Governor Stevenson and Senator Douglas.
The former gave the official welcome to the delegates as head
of the commonwealth, the latter delivered what was termed: "The
truth about the Korean war."
They both gave what in "the good old days before the
war" would have been regarded as typical Republican speeches
We mean: they were factual, rather than emotional; intelli
gent, rather than intemperate; they sought to convince their listen
ers by lucid cerebral argument rather than by beating the drums
of purely emotional appeal. That, used to be the GOP technique,
it is no longer, as their recent "free-for-all" demonstrated.
In fact your correspondent has come to speculate on an inter
esting question do political parties, take form and substance,
from circumstances? We mean by that: have the Democrats be
come spiritually, so much more like the Republicans because they
have, like the GOP in bygone years, been in control of the govern
ment the "Ins" for so many years whereas the Republicans for
a similar period, have been like the Democrats, from the turn of
the century to 1912 the "OUTS."
Although, Oregon's candidate, Estes Kefauver, has a circus
calliope to parade around the loop, instead of a common, ordinary
Found truck, the sideshow "whoopee" to date has been far less
vociferous and ear-splitting than the Republicans offered. Whether
the answer is the absence of the "killer" element in this Bourbon
gathering or not, we have yet to determine, but we do believe that
it has been, and still is, a factor.
As we wired, yesterday morning, the one outstanding dif
ference between this convention and the one a week ago, is that
the present conclave's ONE purpose, is to secure harmony WITH
IN the party; whereas the ONE purpose of the GOP convention
was to decide which faction the old or the new was to control.
One or the other had to be licked.
That added up, naturally, to a dog-fight at the slaughter-house
pavilion when the Republicans were there; an all-out, do-or-die
conflict. The Democrats now gather to name a candidate, who will
be best qualified, not to lead one faction over the vanquished
Democrats but to lead a united party if that can possibly be at
tained, against the traditional enemy. So the latter is far less en
livening and dramatic.
While both Stevenson and Douglas got a good hand when they
finished, there was no indication on the part of the delegates, that
either one was the man on horseback. In fact Senator Douglas
regarded by most competent critics as the best Senator in the
Upper House today had to chide the delegates assembled for not
paying closer attention to what he said. But he was saved by one
of the outstanding heroes of the Korean campaign a little man
from Mississippi who won the congressional medal by extra
ordinary heroism and lived to tell the tale. This tableaux, your cor
respondent thought, was typical of the Democratic party they
may slip up here and there, but when the chips are down, some
how, SOMEway, they succeed in putting on a good show! The
little hero supplied it.
Just as we finished the above paragraph word came to the
press section via the grapevine that organized labor has officially
informed VP Barkley that it will not support him for President.
Why? Because he's too old organized labor says it wants the
Democrats to win and they don't believe the VP can do it. If this
is true and we have a hunch it is then that would finish Alben.
No candidate will be chosen by this convention without the en
dorsement, of organized labor- and H.S.T. that can be put down
in your notebook and kept there until the cows come home.

Matter of Fact
By Joseph and
Stewart Aliop
THE WOOED AND
THE WOOERS
Chicago There are two im
portant things about this Demo
cratic convention. Most of the
delegates are now strongly con
vinced that their party can win
another national election. And
the great majority of the dele
gates have an acute personal in
terest, of one sort or another, in
keeping their party in power
This is the true explanation
of one of the most remarkable
political phenorriena of our times
the movement to draft Gov
Adlai Stevenson of Illinois as
Democratic nominee. This move
ment is again forging forward
despite Stevenson's anguished
pieas, against all the common
rules of politics, and in defiance
of a horde of other eager aspir
ants.
If Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
had turned out to be the magical
camnaiener originally envis
ioned, the supporters of Vice
President Alben Barkley would
have had a walkaway. They had
a vastly popular man to run
They had the President's nod, in
the form of a Truman statement
that Barkley was entirely ac
ceptable. They had the great ad
vantage of Stevenson's reluct
ance. If the delegates had
thought the nomination was not
going to be worth very much,
Barkley would surely have got
it. They are very astute profes
sional politicians, these Barkley
leaders. They may have well
brought off a Barkley nomina
tion had Barkley not with
drawn. Yet the two central facts
of this convention, already
noted above, have nonetheless
caught the Barkleyites between
wind and water. The delegates
came to town. They heard Bark
ley was ahead. At once they
angrily protested that a Barkley
nomination would throw away
an excellent chance of Demo
cratic victory. By the same to
ken, they demanded Stevenson
'the winner."
Helicopters Making
Flight to Europe
Goose Eay, Labrador (U.R)
Two U.S. Air Force helicopters
were on the third leg of their
history -making hop - skip - and
jump flight to Europe Thursday.
The first aircraft of their type
ever to attempt a transoceanic
flight headed through a thin
drizzle toward their next stop at
Narsarssuak, Greenland, 770
miles away.
The Weather Man did a bad job for the GOP but he is starting
out to do "a worse one for the Democrats. It is now Tuesday and
we arrived here Sunday noon. Haven't had a cool or refreshing
breath night or day . during that period except in air cooled
rooms.
How any members of the genus homo can live the year around
in a climate like this passes your correspondent's comprehension.
One of the smartest things ever done by the undersigned is when
he shook the dust of the Middlewest from his brogans and started
for the Pacific Coast to make his permanent home.
'
Came up on the "L" from the stockyards with an old news
paper friend of ours now a columnist on the Philadelphia Bulletin.
He is pretty close to the Democratic "Highef-Ujis," and he thinks
it will be Stevenson in the end and for one simple reason a ma
jority of the delegates THINK Stevenson is the only candidate who
could beat Eisenhower.
If that is true then as far as the race for the presidential nom
ination is concerned ITS ALL OVER.
For when all is said and done this convention, like every other,
ultimately chooses .the candidate it believes best calculated to win.
There is another fact which supports this conclusion Steven
son has said a lot about not wanting the job but he has not to date,
said that if drafted, he would decline it.
So if J. P. Morgan wants to make some more money he might
take this tip from the horse's mouth it's going to be Stevenson
and Kefauver against Eisenhower and Nixon.
P.S:
It looks more like Stevenson by the minute. Barkley has drop
ped out of the race because of that labor opposition giving the
labor leaders a deserved rebuke for trying to dominate the Demo
cratic party. He quits without -any recommendation, but there is
a strong rumor that President Truman has decided to give his ok
to the Illinois Governor also. If this is true then your correspond
ent might as well pack up and get to some cooler spot if there is
any in this part of the U.S.A. R.W.R.

IHE force of the grass roots
sentiment among the dele
gates was plainly evident in the
reception accorded to Governor
Stevenson when he made his
speech of welcome. "Spontane
ous demonstrations," with cheer
leaders, organizers and demon
strators paid $5 an hour, have
become a tiresome joke at our
quadrennial political rallies. This
demonstration for Stevenson was
wholly unorganized. It made less
noise than the planned and paid
for type. But it expressed real
feeling.
What, then, is the secret of
this Stevenson candidacy? A cyn
ical and rather immoral old
professional has argued to these
reporters that the power of the
Stevenson candidacy is another
proof of what he calls his "the-
ory oi poiiucs anu iuvc.
draws a dreary contrast between
the eager, pouncing, sweaty
palmed young man, who goes
after his girl so nara mat ne is
atavs nantine loudly, and the
P3sv. . uneaeer life-guard type,
around whom the girls flock
;th pries of invitation. "Which
euv eets the girls?" he asks, in
his uelv way. "And which can
didates eet the nominations?"
There is a good deal of truth
in this theory. For example, re
call the time when Stevenson
made his first statement that he
would not be a candidate. It was
only a few days before the great
ceremonial dinner in New York
in honor of Averell Harriman
Stevenson was scheduled to
speak at the dinner. He tried to
withdraw from the engagement.
The dinner organizer pressured
him into speaking after all, by
saying that Stevenson's with
drawal would mean no free tele
vision. When the dinner came, Vice
President Barkley, Sens. Kefau
ver and Kerr and Averell Harri
man, all wanting the nomination
so badly they could taste it, each
did his oratorical stuff. All of
them uttery failed to impress
the audience. Then Stevenson
made a short speech, humorous,
humane and elevated, which
convinced every Democratic job
holder in the room that here was
the man to keep Democratic
jobholders on the payroll. And
the Stevenson candidacy, which
had already died, immediately
suffered a forcible resurrection.
TT HAS been like that all the
way with this queer phenom
enon of Stevenson's candidacy.
Curiously enough, moreover, al
though one may be cynical about
the motives of Democrats who
wish to keep their party in
power, this strong, grass roots
support for Stevenson is also a
tribute to our peculiar political
process. For Stevenson is no
rabble rouser, and no cheap dem
agogue. He is, if anything, too
much an intellectual in politics
His attractions are simple. He is
a warm, vigorous and intelligent
man, liberal in spirit, moderate
in method, who has shown that
he is an outstanding executive
in his terms as Illinois governor.
In short, so many delegates
think Stevenson can win because
they think that the American
voter is decidedly discriminating
in casting his vote. The judgment
of the Republicans who chose
Eisenhower paid the American
voter the same kind of implied
tribute.
The question remains, why
Stevenson has been so desper
ately reluctant to take this as
signment which so many are
pressing upon him. One suspects
that deep down, he too thinks the
two-party system will be dam
aged if the Republican opposi
tion is not cured by responsibil
ity of its growing neurotic ten
dencies. One suspects, also, that
he expects the final world crisis
to come in the next four years,
and that he fears the reaction
of the electorate against the
party then in power, if the oppo
sition is led by the neurotics and
extremists who may capture the
Republican party if. Eisenhower
is defeated.
If this is Stevenson's reason
ing and there are excellent
grounds for so believing it is
the reasoning of a large-minded
and sensible man. If the oppos
ing candidates in this election
are to be Dwight Eisenhower
and Adlai Stevenson, one can at
least feel the United States of
America are doing themselves
proud before the world.

Just a word before leaping

politix:
A flying saucer has been
SPOTTED BY RADAR. Radar
hits a definite TANGIBLE ob
ject and bounces back.
That does away with the
theory of lights reflected from

rpHESE are strange and GRAVE
days we're living in. In such
times, we need the BEST POS
SIBLE leadership available. Re
gardless of what the politicians
say (or do) that thought must
remain uppermost in the minds
of all good Americans.
MOW (holding our noses, per
" haps) we can wade into the
political stuff.
I1THAT about this loyalty oath
business?
This is the general idea:
Anywhere save in the South,
disgruntled Democrats could go
home and vote the Republican
ticket. In the one-party South,
Republicans are damyankees and
if you vote for a damyankee
you're an outcast and a pariah.
It was suspected (perhaps not
without reason) that several
Deep South delegations might go
home and, using state laws, put
Eisenhower on the ballot AS A
DEMOCRAT. That is what
started the shooting. The "loy
alty oath" was designed to head
that off.
Congressional Quiz
Questions and Answer on What Goes en at the Capital
Furnished by Congressional Quarterly New Features
Q Does the new GI Bill of
Rights give anything betides
free schooling? I'm a veteran, of
the Korean "police action" and
I don't want to go back to
school.
A Yes. Aside from the edu
cational benefits, the Veterans
Readjustment Assistance Act of
1952 offers you: From $100 to
$300 mustering out pay; unem
ployment pay of up to $26 for
26 weeks; and the same housing
and loan benefits extended to
World War II veterans. These
are available to persons whp
served in the armed forces after
June 27, 1950.
WHAT about the "civil rights"
business?
Some speaker (I've forgotten
now who it was) let the cat out
of the bag on that issue. In 11
key Northern cities, he said, the
BALANCE OF POWER is held
by the colored vote. The Demo
cratic party needs to keep and
the Republican party needs to
get these key industrial centers.
That's about the long and the
short of it. As it comes up at the
national party conventions every
four years, there isn't an ounce
of sincerity on either side so far
as this compulsory "civil rights"
business is concerned.
COMMUNICATIONS
Letters to the Editor must bear

view to clarification and conden
sation. Letters submitted for pub
lication must not exceed 400 words.
TF, BY the power of moral rec-
- titude, we're to lead the world
on to better days, we've got to
get rid of racial intolerances and
prejudices here in our own coun
try. We can't command the re
spect and the following and the
cooperation of the colored races
throughout the world (black,
yollew and so on) if we're intol
erant and unfair to members of
these races here in America.
But we can't solve that prob
lem by shady political finagling
every four years for the racial
balances of voting power in our
big industrial cities. We'll have
to go deeper than that.
That's flat.
Democrats Promise
To Support Statehood
Chicago (U.R) A promise to
upport "immediate statehood"
for Alaska and Hawaii was in
cluded Thursday in the Demo
cratic party platform.
"By virtue of their strategic
geographical locations," the
plank said, Alaska and Hawaii
are vital bastions in the Pacific.
"These two territories have
contributed greatly to the wel
fare and economic development
of our country and have become
integrated into our economic
and social life. . We therefore
urge ' immediate statehood for
these two territories."
A S THIS is written, it looks
"like Stevenson is it.
I don't doubt that he's a pretty
good man. But I think this much
is evident from the maneuvering
that has gone on in Chicago:
It is the POLITICIANS who
want Stevenson.
They're willing to take Stev
enson to BEAT Kefauver.
Race Fan Irked
To The Editor: Here is anoth
er hard top fan and I, too, am
very disgusted. What kind of
people do we have in Medford,
anyway?
Medford men went to a lot
of expense to build a stock car
race track and then some per
son (or persons) had the nerve
to let Yreka come in with a race
track.
Sure, it's better but after all
give the Medford men a chance
to get established. But no, they
couldn't go that, they had to get
someone who already had sever
al race tracks and was well or
ganized. Would you rather the profits
would go somewhere else or
stay to improve the track built
by Medford? As for me. Id
rather see improvements on the
track north of Medford on the
airport road.
If no one writes in to the Trib
une, then am I to take it that
no one is interested?
Just one more thing. The
track by the airport was the
first to be named the Medford
Speedway and it seems the so
called Medford Speedway clos
est to the city limits thinks they
have a right to it. If they have
anything to say in their defense
then let's hear it.
And let's hear from others,
too, please!
(Name on File)
I STILL hope the Democrats
name their best man, run him
on an ALL OUT New Deal-Fair
Deal platform and make it a
clear-cut contest. I think these
are days when we need to know
where we're at and where we're
going. It seems to me from all
the talk in Chicago that the pol
iticians favor Stevenson because
they think maybe they'll be able
to campaign for him on both
sides of the street.
The professional politicians
aren't much interested in clear-
cut issues. What they want is to
STAY IN POWER.
I STILL think Kefauver would
be the Democrats' best man.
He has what it is coming to take
in these times which is the con
fidence of the people. He. has
demonstrated that over and over
in the primaries, where the peo
ple simply go to the polls and
vote their preference and the
politicians can't do much maneu
vering.
In the long run, as things are
shaping up in this country, the
confidence of the people is going
to be more important than the
backing of the politicians.
IDEALISTIC?

Kids Pester Resort
To The Editor: We are asking
for the co-operation of the par
ents of teen-agers in cleaning up
an unpleasant situation that ex
ists at Lake O'Woods.
It has been necessary to evict
some of the younger folks due
to possession of liquor, and their
misconduct. The younger boys
and girls who come to spend the
night in the campgrounds and
arrive with their cars loaded
with beer and other liquors,
which they obtain in town,
should be investigated by some
one. Why not the parents? These
particular people are the trouble
some type. They are noisy, vul
gar and a disgrace to their
homes. Some of them come from
good homes and their parents
do not know about' their con
duct on these overnight trips.
Over the Fourth of July week
end there was an unaccountable
amount of destruction done to
personal property all around the
lake. Home-owners reported de
struction and theft; one of the
recreation buildings in a Sum
mer youth camp had all of the
windows broken; a privately
owned boat had a hole chopped
in the bottom and side, and num.
erous other damages were re
ported. These same people create a
disturbance wherever thev eo
and on Saturday nights and holi
days they invade the resort and
have made it necessary for the
operators of the resort to be on
constant patrol to protect their
property and the property of
their guests.
The parents of all teen-agers
should know where their chil
dren are going; who they are
with, and find out how and
where they obtain their liquor.
The resort is discontinuing
Saturday night dancing to pre
vent these youngsters from gath
ering at their place of business.
Mrs. Tom Neeley,
Lake O'Woods Resort.
Q What's the latest on how
small business it faring in the
race for defense contracts?
A According to the Senate
Select Committee on Small
Business, the Army and Navy
are not giving small business its
share of the military-procurement
dollar. In a July 4 report,
the Committee said the percen
tage of the military dollar in
contracts awarded to small
business had steadily declined
since Korea.
Q What happened to Con
gress' plan to exempt the first
$3,000 of Washington living
costs from their income tax?
A It became law as part of
the Legislative Appropriations
bill signed July 9 by President
Truman. Rep. John W. McCor
mack, (D-Mass.), sponsor of the
deduction amendment, said it
was intended to remove a "dis
crimination against Members of
Congress bv the Internal Reve
nue Bureau," which rulei that
for tax purposes lawmakers are
residents of the Washington,
D. C, area as well as of their
home towns.
Q How did the President
fare this year with the GOP
Southern Democrat coalition?
A He took a drubbing. On
only five of 18 key votes chosen
by Congressional Quarterly
could the President claim even
partial victory, despite the
Democratic majority. Victories
were in government reorganiza
tion, soil conservation and flood
control funds, price-wage con
trols and foreign aid. But he also
took losses on controls and for
eign aid, as well as on the steel
strike issue, St. Lawrence Sea
way, immigration bill veto and
seven other controversial issues.
Q I hear that Congress has
scheduled a Saturday session
next year. Isn't that unusual?
A True, Congress does most
of Its work Tuesday through
Thursday and rarely assembles
on Saturday. But at least once m
1953 it will meet on the sixth
day of the week, when it con
venes Jan. 3 a Saturday. Law
specifies the Jan. 3 starting day.
unless Congress beforehand
agrees on another time. Con
gress adjourned July 7 without
changing this date.
