Editorial Correspondence
Stonington, Conn., Aug. 10 Whether the writer is the greatest
rainmaker since Noah, or Jupiter Pluvius is pursuing him with
relentless rapacity as he travels from one section of the country
to the other, the fact remains that everywhere your roving cor
respondent goes, the rain, like Mary's lamb, comes following after.
And as before remarked, always in record-breaking proportions.
':.
This is being typed on Sunday, August 10 at 11 a.m. It has been
raining since 3 a.m.; at times in torrential volume. All the house
lights are on for it is as dark outside as late evening'. Even the Big
Sailing Race has been postponed, and when the amateur sailors
of Connecticut refuse to sail because of the weather, the latter
has to be something very terrible indeed. And that it is. All records
for rainfall in August have been broken in these first ten days, in
fact nothing of the sort has happened here since the Stonington
land battery repulsed the British
years ago. It may not add up to as much as Winnebago county,
Illinois, when we were there 16 inches in 30 days! but it is
now five inches in ten days, and, of course, if that rate should be
maintained the totsl will be only an inch short. However that isn't
likely.
. Politically, it's all Eisenhower, hereabouts, just as it was five
weeks ago in New York and Buffalo. That is, it is anti-Taft. But
there is, as far as we have gone, a high respect for Stevenson, and
the Portuguese portion of -the population which is the majority
is reported to be neutral at present. This is hard to believe but the
local "boss" he was born in Lisbon and has a record for know
ing all the answers politically, claims that is true. If so, it is quite
significant we believe, indicating that for the first time in recent
history, BLIND partisanship even at the union . labor level, has
reached a new low, if it has not entirely disappeared.
The best reports of the recent Chicago conventions, your cor
respondent has seen, were written for the "Saturday Review of
Literature," by a Stonington man, John Mason Brown.
The reason they are so good is that Brown, an experienced re
porter and gifted writer, never attended a national convention
before. Everything, therefore, was a new experience to him rather
than an old one. He felt things that most of the veterans in the
press section did not feel but which they had through the years
become conditioned to, therefore they did not register. The result
was a wonderfully vivid picture of the two performances by
Brown, especially the Republican and a correct one, full of hu
man interest, appreciation and discriminating humor.
The "New Yorker" -our favorite magazine, and one which we
have taken ever since it was established on the other hand; fell
down very badly. The conventions should have been its '.'dish," but
instead the man assigned to the job, Richard Rovere, handed out
a dish of very commonplace and uninspired observations, which
no more gave the humor, spirit and atmosphere of the stockyard
saturnalia, than the news index of the Chicago Tribune. This is
hard to understand for Rovere, too,- is a gifted writer and expe
rienced reporter. But he surely had a day off in fact ten days
in July at Chicago.
a
As we look out the window at the rain drenched cove, and
Long Island Sound beyond, we wonder why all that precipitation
fails to raise the level of the ocean. Imagine what the total must
count up to in gallons! Yet there is no apparent change in the
water level or the tides. The answer is probably a very simple one
but we don't know exactly what it is, unless it is the immensity
of the ocean COMPARATIVELY even a heavy rain for a year
would probably measure up to only a few drops in a barrel.
But Lake Michigan is rising, and so is Lauderdale Lake where
we stopped a week ago en route to Madison. The heavy rains un
doubtedly affect a small body of water like Lauderdale, but there
Is probably some other answer to the Great Lakes.
When attending the conventions we often walked up and down
the Lake Michigan promenade from Monroe to the 12th street sta
tion, and back again. We believe Chicago is the only, large city in
the world with a super summer resort, including fishing, sailing
and swimming, only a stone's throw from its business center (well,
perhaps, Paul Bunyan would have to throw the stone!) and it ex
tends for miles north and south a regular Coney Island every
week-end. (Only, it is more like the clean and attractive Jones
Beach.) And for-free, to all! Uncle Joe should spend a day there
when he tours the U.S.A. and then writes "the rise and fall of the
AMERICAN empire." 1
.
In spite of the record-breaking heat and humidity during that
convention visit, however, the lake water was too cold for swim
ming. At least it was as cold as Crater Lake, according to the jun
ior member of the family, who tried it one torrid Sunday'. And
those who have ever tried to swim in Crater Lake, as the writer
did some decades ago, will agree that adds up to ice water from a
thermos bottle! "Junior.-Miss" solved the problem by taking brjef
dips but spending most of the time in the hot sand, as did many of
the others, including the husky life-guards. In fact the next day
the Chicago papers printed announcements declaring the lake too
cold for safe swimming, some strange freak of the weather having
taken the hot water along the shore out to sea, and replacing it
with the cold water from still farther out.
'
Day before yesterday , tried out the nice little 9-hole course
across the cove first golf since last May. As usual "Ye Editor's"
game was no worse for the long lay-off, in fact if anything a trifle
better. There is probably less disposition after a long vacation to
think about HOW it should be done, and a greater disposition just
to tap the ball without immediately looking up to see where it
will-go. At any rate 50 was broken which is always satisfactory
these days to the undersigned, if not to the doctor. And as the doc
tor always says, quote:
"And if it had not been for that etc., etc., I would have
had an etc., etc., instead of what I DID have, etc., etc."
'
Yes, the water in Lake Michigan is rising, the lower promenade
built for pedestrians, is under water in fact. A colored fisherman
we chatted with one day he too looked and acted like "Stepin
Fetchit" claimed at the present rate all Michigan Avenue will
be under water in another five or six years. Perhaps by that time
"Stepin" will catch a mess of fish he had been fishing ever since
sun-up, he said, and had only one undersized carp to show for it.
But two days later he was on the same spot still fishing only a
few blocks from the University Club, where -there is white fish
but no carp on the menu! .
,
The "cathedral dining room" in the University Club, by the
way, we would say is the most beautiful dining room in the coun
try probably in the world. Your correspondent will never forget
the sight that greeted his sleepy eyes, the first morning after the
first day at the GOP hippodrome when he sat down for breakfast
with a steaming demi-tasse before him the early morning sun
sparkling on the blue waters of Lake Michigan below as the scene
stretched off into the clear
lines of the distant Michigan shore. Also the rainbow colors of the
windows reflected on the white table cloth and the gleaming
silver! .
Too bad AGAIN Uncle Joe couldn't have been there, and
talked things over with our next
Newport and PROVIDENCE! R.WJt.
Driver Vision Check
Chicago (U.R) . Automobile
accidents could be reduced five
per cent annually by careful
checking of drivers' vision, a
vision expert says.
The reduction would save 67,
000 motorists from death or in
jury, according to Prof. D. J.
Moffie, director of North Caro
lina State College's occupational
vision research division.
Moffie told a Midwest Safety
meeting that he based his esti
mate of five per cent on results
of driver vision examinations
conducted by the North Carolina
highway safety division.

' In its tests the. division used
an "ortho-rater," a scientific in
strument for measuring basic
visual skills. The examination is
required of all applicants for
drivers licenses in his state,
Moffie said. -
He said the ortho-rater testing
program had been used by indus

In the Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
More on the king business:
The ailing Duke of Windsor
began his day today (in Monte
catini, Italy) by drinking a
Scotch and soda. (He is recover
ing from a digestive attack).
The duke left his hotel room
at noon and immediately went
to the bar for his one drink.
Later he went to the hotel rest
aurant and ate a hearty meal.
THESE EX-KINGS lead a rug
ged and ascetic life, don't
they? Wouldnt' you hate to be
in their shoes?
THAT gets us back to fat King
Farouk (I just saw a new pic
ture of him, and he's even tub
bier than I thought.)
Farouk is said to have owned
a third of all the farm land of
Egypt. His third is estimated to
be about two million acres. That,
by a simple mathematical compu
tation, places the total arable
land of Egypt at about six mil
lion acres.
In the Klamath Basin alone
(which is only a small part of
the total arable area of Ore
gon) there are now about 300,
000 irrigated acres. That is about
one-twentieth of the total arable
area in Egypt.
The population of Egypt is
about TWENTY MILLION.
THIS COMPARISON is made
interesting by a statement
buried somewhere in the vol
uminous files of the U.S. de
partment of agriculture, that the
soil of the old Tule bed is prob
ably the richest soil in the world
with the exception of the Nile
valley.
If that is true, the relatively
small Klamath Basin of Oregon,
on an acre for acre basis, could
support a population of a MIL
LION people.
If, that is
The standards of living were
equal. They aren't thank the
Lord! Oregon's standard of liv
ing is one of the highest in the
world. The standard of living of
95 per cent of the people of Eg
ypt is one of the LOWEST IN
THE WORLD.
w
HY?
Well, the standard of living
of the 95 per cent of the Egyp
tian people who are at the bot
tom of the heap is among the
lowest in the world because of
the scandalous manner in which
the king business (meaning gov
ernment) in Egypt has been
ABUSED. '
I hope - you've never seen
Egypt or at least that part of
it lying outside a few tourist
spots in Cairo and Alexandria.
It's a sight to haunt you air your
days. The people! The poor, piti
ful, disease-ridden, . fly-blown,
flea-bitten people!
That's what happens when
government goes to pot.
FAT FAROUK, before they
gave him the long-overdue
bum's rush, is said to have been
perhaps one of the two richest
men in the world. The other is
believed to be one of the nizams
Or maharajas or what-you-may-call-'ems
of India, where living
conditions are more or less sim
ilar to those in Egypt.
IlfE HAVE rich people in this
country but in the main
they have becom3 rich by pion
eering new developments in in
dustry that have enabled mil
lions of our people to become
well-to-do.
There's a vast difference.
r APPEARS that in Jordan,
another Middle East country,
they've decided to put the boot
to another king Talal, who
is said to be mentally incomp
etent. Jordan's - people - are a
shade better off than Egypt's,
but it's a narrow decision.
In Iran, old Mossadegh is tak
ing over and the shah of Iran
appears to be. on the .way out.
If you want to know, why, go
to Iran and TAKE A LOOK AT
THE PEOPLE.
That tells the story. Ridiculous
as Weeping Willie Mossadegh
appears at this distance, he is
giving the poverty-stricken com
mon people of Iran a vision of
something they never have had,
but. know they WANT.

AIR CRASH KILLS 24

Transport airliner crashed in

A NJcios' Worth of-
Comment On
BY HARMAN
United Press
Washington (U.R) A gentle
man in Jamaica, N.Y., thinks the
government ought to get into
the love busi
ness. The idea
struck George
Durst when he
read in the
papers that the
National Wid
ows and Wid
owers Club
plans to study
the problem of
old and - middle-age
love at
Harmon Nichols
a confab soon in Chicago.
I'm pretty sure Durst had his
tongue rolled up in his cheek
when he wrote me, but anyhow,
here's what he said:
He suggested that one or both
political parties include in their
planning or in their campaign
ing a "solid" matrimonial plank,
to help single persons find suit
able mates.
Durst made the observation
that "70 per cent of the 4,000,
000 members of lonely hearts
clubs matrimonial bureaus are
women, mostly older women." I
don't know where my corres
pondent got his figures, but I'll
take his word for it.
Matrimonial Bureau Needed
He thought if the government
goes into this thing, it "ought to
do it the right way.".
"I suggest," he suggested,
"that what this country needs is
not a five-cent cigar, but a good
$5 to $10 federal matrimonial
bureau.
"The government could set up
a new Cabinet bureau and call
it the U.S. Department of
Friendship and Romance, which
for a reasonable registration fee
of $10.55 (including a love tax)
would register and list sincere
marriage-minded men and wo
men. ,
."They could list their help
wanted, matrimonial : advertise
ments in a 50 cents a month fed
eral : matrimonial mart bulletin",
via the U.S. Printing Office.
Can't Take It With Them
"After all, women in the fond
able forties, fascinating fifties,
and lovable sixties should rea
lize that they can't take their
money with them, so why let
the income tax man grab it all?
Congressional Quiz
Questions and Answers on What
Goes on at the Capital Furnished
by Congressional Quarterly News
Features.
Q. Is it true1 that with favo.'
able action by only seven more
states, the Constitution will be
amended to limit the federal in
come tax?
A. No. The legislatures of 29
states have proposed some sort
pf a Constitutional limit on fed
eral taxing powers. But they
have called for different ap
proaches and seven states re
scinded their actions. Even after
Congress or a Constitutional
convention agreed on a proposed
amendment 36 states would have
to ratify it before it would be
come part of the Constitution.
Q. How can the Constitution
be amended?
A.- Two main steps are re
quired. An amendment must be
proposed formally, either by a
two-thirds vote of the House and
Senate, or by a special Conven
tion called by Congress at the
request of two-thirds of the
states, through either their leg
islatures or special state conven
tions. The ' convention method
has never been used either for
proposing or ratifying amend
ments. Q. I happen to know a rich
man who gets a social security
check every month. I thought
only people of limited means
were eligible. '
A. Any retired person -65
years old whose 'income from
wages or salary is not more than
$75 a month is eligible for pay
ments if he Worked in an oc
cupation covered by social secur
ity. It doesn't make any differ
ence how much he has in the
bank. In fact, Federal Security
Agency officials after a sample
survey estimated that from 50
to 200 millionaires are drawing
social security checks.
Q. How' diligent were Cong
ressmen this year in going "On
The Record?"
A. They slipped. For the
fourth straight year, the Senate
showed a decline, while the
House dropped from its record
1951 mark. Figures compiled by
Congressional Quarterly show
Senators voted or declared their
stands on an average of 90.2
per cent of the record (roll-call)
votes in 1949, but fell to 86.8
in 1952. The House went on the
Record an average of 86.4 per
cent in 1949, 88.8 per cent in
1951, and 83.7 per cent in 1952.
Q. Did many lawmakers
make perfect scores in going on
record on roll-call votes?
A. Only one Senator, Olin
D. Johnston, (D-S.C), went on
the Record on 100 per cent of
the 129 roll-call ' votes this ses
sion. Nineteen made their stands
known at least 98 per cent of
the time. In the House, 25 mem
bers nine Democrats, 16 Re
publicans voted or declared
their stands on all of the 72
House roll- calls.

Monarchs Fee! Shaky
As King of Jordan
Second To Feel Boot
By PHIL NEWSOM
United Press Foreign Analyst
The shifting sands of Near and
Mid-East politics have cost an
other monarch his throne. Jor-
an's mentally
ailing King
Talal has been
tossed out and
his 17-year-old
son proclaim
ed King Hous
s e i n II. A
three -man re
gency will
rule until the
new .monafth
'hil rewsora . ...
next May.
The change gives emphasis to
a remark once credited to an
other recently disposed monarch-King
Farouk of Egypt.
Farouk is supposed to have
said that soon there only would
be five kings left the King of
England a,nd the four kings in
a deck of cards. Farouk's fore
cast was, perhaps, a bit unfair
to the king business but be
comes especially interesting in
light of his own recent fate and
that of the King of Jordan.
Of the seven monarchies in the
Middle East, two others are
shaky.
In Iran, the powers of Shah
Reza Pahlevi are being steadily
Whittled down by Nationalist
Premier Mohammed Mossadegh.
Imam Ahmed of Yemen has
confessed he is nervous about
his future. When Farouk fell,
Imam Ahmed promptly banned
the use of all radio sets in his
kingdom to prevent the news
spreading among his people.
I wo conditions have con
tributed to Middle East unrest
and to Western difficulties in
pushing through such projects
as agreement on defense of the
Suez Canal, an overall Middle
East defense plan and settle
ment of the Iranian oil contro
versy.
National Jealousies Blamed
They are, first, a surging na
tionalism among all Arab states
and with it the growth of "neu
tralism" between the Western
and Communist worlds, and, sec
ond, national jealousies which
have prevented agreement
among the Arab states them
selves. ;
In Iran, nationalism took the
form of seizure of- the British
owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
and adamant refusal to nego
tiate on any except Iran's own
terms, even though it could
mean ruin and Communist oc
cupation of the country.
In Egypt, it was insistence on
evacuation of British troops
from Suez and recognition of
Egypt's king as monarch also of
the Sudan.
Arab rivalries are more com
plicated. .

is the great grandson of King
Hussein of the Hejaz in which
is located Mecca and other of
the Arab world's holiest cities.
Hussein, claiming direct descent
from Mohammed, lost. the Hejaz
in a bitter war with King Ibn
Saud of Saudi Arabia.
Hussein also was the founder
of the Hashemite dynasties
which now rule Iraq as well as
Jordan. Thus, no love lost be
tween Jordan and Iraq and
Saudi Arabia.
Syria lives in dread of a un
ion between Iraq and Jordan.
Jordan accuses Prince Naif of
plotting against the throne from
nearby Lebanon; they all point
a finger of scorn at Egypt for
her miserable showing against
the Israeli and Jordan is ac
cused of a fancy double-cross in
moving on Jerusalem.
The United States and Britain
together, have a stake, of more
than $2,000,000,000 invested in
Near and Mid-East oil alone. The
world has a stake . in Mid-East
defenses.
But Farouk may have been a
lot closer right than he knew.
