NATIONAL
MAIL TRIBUNE
Editorial Correspondence
Chicago, HI., August 5 What a difference Just a few weeks
make!
The greatest difference since the national conventions is in the
temperature.
No sleeping under a sheet last night, or less. A good thick
blanket was not only welcome but essential. And away with
cotton cords today.
It's only the first week in August by the calendar but that ting-
tang-and zip in the air is early Fall.
How different everything would have been if the weather dur
ing the conventions had not been what it was.
Perhaps in both cases the results would have been the same
we hope so but the tempers on both sides would not.
Surely No. 1 Senator Douglas of Illinois, would not have gone
berserk as he did that Thursday night had this cool and delicious
atmosphere prevailed; nor would Senator No. 96 in our list the
political and phony evangelist Dirksen also of Hlinois, have shed
tears all over his saturated shirt-front. Nations are products of
their climate, as is human behaviour.
To get here from Rockford we took a bus and made a circle
through southern Wisconsin, taking in our old swimming-hole,
Lauderdale Lake, also Delevan and. Geneva, with a few hours
stop in Madison Wisconsin's extremely attractive capital.
Amazing changes since our former stop there a real city
atmosphere now, with one of the largest and most attractive hotels
in the Great Lakes area, and two excellent newspapers. The Madi
son setting always has been genuinely beautiful, with the city
and its huge State University, on the banks of some of the most
attractive lakes in this state of beautiful lakes literally hundreds
of thm.
We came up here to get the latest on the "Unspeakable Joe
McCarthy," and got so much it has given us a severe case of
editorial indigestion. Where to start in this avalanche of testi
mony and testimony backed up by the documents and sworn-to
extracts from the record. They don't guess about the "black sheep"
of the Senate here in Wisconsin, they KNOW. As one of the girls in
he office of the Madison Capital-Times remarked when we stated
the purpose of ur call:
"If Wisconsin elects that man again I am going to move to
North' Dakota!"
And she may have to MOVE!
The most distressing feature of the entire McCarthy problem,
is the number of unsuspecting people who have . fallen for his
line swallowed his phony Communist hokum, bait, hook and
sinker. Been blind to what he is, and what he has really done
and not done because of a vague belief he has been an effective
force against the spread of Communism in this country.
In Rockford we ran into this false assumption repeatedly. And
in each and every case the result was the same. 1
There was one of our old school friends a very attractive
and intelligent girl by the way who for 'some reason never mar
ried, went into school-teaching, and is now retired on a pension.
Like practically everyone else she was for -Taft.
We asked her how she COULD be for a man who had for "the
sake of a few paltry votes stultified himself by embracing and up
holding McCarthy and McCarthyism.
x
"Whv?" said she in some surprise, "I never thought much
of McCarthy, couldn't stand his
lot to expose Communism m the state department ana tne govern
ment in general. Can't deny that, can you?"
We asked her to cite one SINGLE instance where the Wisconsin
Senator, had secured the conviction and expulsion of ONE single
Communist in the State - Department or ANY department of
the government who would not have been expelled if McCarthy's
smear campaign (solely for publicity and votes) had never been
launched. Just ONE! .
"Well, there was Alger Hiss
. In nine cases out of ten in Rockford the one "alibi" was always
"Alger Hiss." And this from an ex-school teacher and an unusually
intelligent and presumably
Of course, as anyone who has looked into the record at all
knows, McCarthy had no more to do with the Hiss case than
Prince Ali Kahn.
And the one expulsion most
have come about if McCarthy had
On the other side of the record are the "over 200" charges
of communism he made and NOT

you're still in doubt.
There is no doubt in this department's view of the ultimate
outcome. McCarthy's days are numbered as far as any influence
or standing in the Republican, or any other party in this country
is concerned. A man of his character just can t get by for LONG.
The pity and the mystery is
many months as he has.

l'hil Kewsom
bers of the
House of Commons went-home
this week to rest, mend political
fences or lick their wounds.
There was plenty of it to do in
each category.
It had been a strenuous ses
sion.
As Parliament went home,
Britain was in better shape eco
nomically than when it took of
fice. But Prime Minister Winston
Churchill's Conservative govern
ment had sagged badly in popu
larity. London County Council
and other local elections through
out Britain had- gone to Labor
by a landslide. In Commons,
pressure from the Laborites was
so constant and the margin so
thin that the Conservatives had
to rout members from sick beds
to assure victory on any vote.
Fall of Government Close
A change of less than 20 votes
could have toppled the Church
ill government and forced a new
election.
Britain's bi-partisan foreign
policy broke down for the first
time in 12 years. Laborites
fought against ratification of the
West German peace contract and
held out for an immediate four-
power conference with Russia
on agreement over a unified Ger
many. Labor attacked Churchill bit
terly for his speech to Congress
during a visit to the U. S., in
propaganda material. '
Let's give thanks to our able
athletes for delivering us from
that.
IIHEN did the Olympic games
It was a lone time aeo. In
776 B.C., the Greeks beean
reckoning 4ime by them. They
were neid every four years. This
four-year period was known as
an Olympiad. The beeinninz of
the first year of the Olympiad
was determined by the first full
moon of the summer solstice
(the longest day. of the year.)
The first year of Christ was
the first year of the 195th Olvm
piad. So we know they were at
least 776 years old then. But
they had been going on a long
time when the first historical
record was made of them.
yHY were they held?
There were MANY reasons.
Among other things, the ancient
Greeks were sports-minded. If
they had had newspapers then,
the sports page would have been
hot stuff as it is now.
But ONE reason was the be
lief that clean sport would STOP
(or at least greatly reduce) war
among the city-states of the
Greek world. With that idea in
mind, a GENERAL TRUCE was
called and enforced during the
time when the games were being
held.
THERE is room here only to
report that the idea DIDN'T
work.
In spite of the Olympic games
and their truly TREMENDOUS
significance in the Greek world.
WARS WENT ON. The quarrel
some city-states quit fighting
while the Olympic truce was on,
but resumed their fighting when
the truce ended.
In the end, sad to relate, these
constant quarrels and the wars
that resulted from them DE
STROYED the Greek civiliza
tion. A NYWAY, they taught us that
truces don't end wars. Oddly
enough, in these days, the Rus
sians, who are at the moment
the chief promoters ' of war,
seized upon the modern Olympic
games as a device to promote
nationalistic propaganda, which
in its turn is a great PROMOTER
of war.

Matter of Fact
INDEPENDENCE
IN SPRINGFIELD
Washington Behind the odd
ly fragmentary reports about the
campaign plans of Governor
Stevenson and President Tru
man, there is one single, simple
central fact. Adlai C Stevenson
has declared his independence in
an unmistakable manner. And
Harry S. Truman has taken this
declarat ion of independence
from Springfield, 111., with the
good grace that does credit to
Independence, Mo.
Whether or no Stevenson
would issue a personal declara
tion of independence of the
White House, was really the big
gest question about his campaign
strategy, from the very begin
ning. One could see the question
looming at Chicago.
There was the President, with
his brisk, . confident, fighting
speech to the convention. There
was Stevenson, with his elevated,
somewhat tortured, deeply , re
flective speech of acceptance.
You could not doubt that Steven
son's was the more powerful in
tellect, but you could hardly.help
but feel that Truman had the
more decisive character. By the
same token, there was the whole
serried phalanx of Democratic
professionals, delighted to have
Stevenson for their standard-
bearer, but yelling "pour it on,
Harry" with special zest.
The President had told his in
timates already, and now he
told his party and country, that
he meant to make a whistle-stop
campaign as vigorous and exten,
sive as he made four years ago.
But this was, in effect an inten
tion to dominate the electoral
campaign and his successor. For
how else could Stevenson hope
to make his own mark in these
circumstances? How . could he
possibly register with the voters
as an independent personality,
with qualities of his own, while
the President of the United
States poured it on at every
i . j i . -
wmsiie-stop:
TRUMAN'S intention Dlainlv
sprang from his own fighting
nature and his loyalty to his
party. Equally plainly, however.
Stevenson had to. find the cour
age to argue with the President
about this intention of his if he
was going to be his own-candi
date instead of Truman's candi
date. Under the circumstances.
then, it is extremely significant
mat stevenson has found the
courage.
Two points were at issue. Tn
the first Dlace. the President
and his circle had a clear idea of
the proper canroaien nattern.
Nothing much was to be done
until Labor Day, and both Stev
enson and Truman were to start
touring the country. The Presi
dent was to pour it on, in the
familiar manner, from first tn
last, while Stevenson, also from
first to last, was to make what
the politicians call the "hi eh
level appeal." Second, the exist
ing, Truman-established organi
zation of Democratic affairs was
to be left intact. Frank McKinney
was to go on heading the Demo
cratic National Committee and
handling all such vital campaign
problems as money collecting.
Stevenseon simolv refused to
go along on either point. As to
the first, he rightly pointed out
to the President that he was not
well known - in - the country.
Hence he had to besin earlv ' as
he has now done with the sig
nificant statements that are al
ready coming out of Springfield.
Hence too, he had to be given
his chance to make his mark
with the voters in full scale cam

chargeon medical prescriptions
and wigs.
Churchill's plans to denation
alize the transportation industry
and steel drew attacks from both
right and left.
He didn't act fast enough for
the right and was accused of a
lack of courage. The left said
he was returning Britain to the
dark ages.
As Parliament quit, there was
general agreement that if an
election were held now, the La
borites would win.
For the Conservatives there
was one bright spot the wid
ening split between the Laborite
forces led by former Prime
Minister Clement Attlee on the
one side and by extreme left
winger Aneurin Bevan on the
other.

Stewart Also
paigning, before Truman entered
the struggle with all the author
ity and attention-getting-power
of a President of the United
States.
As to the second point, Steven
son also indicated to the Presi
dent that he felt he had to have
his own campaign organization
in order to conduct his own cam
paign.. Hence McKinney was not
acceptable to him, and is now on
the way out.
IlflLSON WYATT was the Gov-
ernor's first choice for the
national chairmanship. But Wy
att, while accepting the role of
Stevenson's personal' campaign
director, refused the larger post
on the ground that he was not
well enough acquainted with the
Democratic leaders all over the
country. Those now under con
sideration for national commit
tee chairman include former
Sen. Frank Myers of Pennsyd
vania and former Rep. John Car
roll of Colorado.
In the end, neither may be
chosen. Myers is the better bet.
Yet the mere fact that consider
ation is being given to Carroll
still speaks volumes. For Carroll
is not only a leader of Americans
for Democratic Action. He is also
anathema to the Truman crowd
in the White House, because of
a bitter row with Matt Con
nelly which occurred when Car
roll was serving the President as
a White House assistant.
The fact that Stevenson has
declared his independence in,
this manner does credit to Stev
enson. By the same token the
President's response does credit
to the President. At first, to be
sure, Truman was very much
wounded. But one of Truman's
favorite dicta is that "the trouble
with amateur politicians is, they
take everything too hard and too
personally." Truman's approach
to this campaign was also indi
cated in another pithy observa
tion: "I split the party in 1948 be
cause it had to be done. But
what's needed now is to unite
the party and I'm not the man
to do it."
In this spirit, Truman accepted
the Stevenson declaration of in
dependence' and issued his own
declaration, that he was "just a
private in the rear ranks." There
is no denying that these events
considerably increase the diffi
culty of General Eisenhower's
task.
