" Wide Open Conventions
The chances seem now on the side of President
Eisenhower rejecting another nomination next year.
Whether he then would use the great influence of his
office to swing the nomination to a man of his choice
as President Theodore Roosevelt did for Secretary
of War William Howard Taft in 1908 is the big
question confronting the Republicans.
If Eisenhower follows the more usual course of
keeping hands off,the contest for the Republican
nomination will be wide open. Rivalry for the Demo
cratic nomination also is sure to intensify if the Presi
dent is not a candidate.
fVNLY one ballot was needed in 1952 to pick the Re-
publican nominee, only three ballots to determine
the Democratic choice. Eisenhower, strongly opposed
by the late Sen. Robert A. Taft, won on the first bal
lot by virtue, of a last-minute switch, of Minnesota
votes cast originally for Harold L. Stassen. Steven
son trailed Sen. Estes Kefauver (Tenn.), in the first
Democratic balloting, and was not tbo far ahead of
Sen. Richard B. Russell (Ga.), until a general shift
ing of votes gave him the nomination on the third
tally.
The last previous year when both major-party con
ventions were really wide open was 1920. E.R.R.

If President Eisenhower decides not to run for a
second term solely on health grounds, he will be the
first President to rendunce on account of his health
a nSmination that he could have had for a second

We have had 14 previous Presidents who served
only one term (excluding those who died in office.)
Six of the fourteen were named for a second term,
only to be defeated the two Adamses, Van Buren, B.

himself to one term as soon as nominated (like Polk

; The full publicity . onv: President' Eisenhower's
stroke except for a hassle in the first dozen hours,
contrasts snarpiy witn tne consiaeraoie secrecy
thrown around- President Wilson's stroke in 1919.
Ohlysome 'time' later was it Jcnown that he had suffer
ed a second, and more severe, stroke at the White
House after being rushed there following his first
strokeon a train in the West. And just where the
train was at the time is still in doubt.
MOT until ten weeks afterwards was the President
A able to receive (in bed) a delegation from the
Senate, and not until five months afterwards, to take
an auto ride. When he forced himself to go to the
Capitol on the last day of his term at that time it
was held that bills couldn't be approved or vetoed
after Congress adjourned he was seen to be par
tially paralyzed on one side. Wilson lived for 4 13
years after the strokes.
Yet the secrecy on Wilson's illness was as nbthing
compared to that on the operation on President Grov
er Cleveland for cancer of the mouth soonfter he
entered upon his second term in 1893. He left on the
yacht of a wealthy friend for a cruise to -New York,
and the operation was performed oh the waters of the
East river. .
THE President's upper left jaw was taken out on
1 June 30. Five days later a second operation was
performed to remove any remaining infected tissues.
An artificial jaw of rubber let the President speaR

he left the White House in 1897 did the full story of
the operation come out.
In 1893 the country was in the throes of a financial
crisis, ascribed by the President, a "gold man," large
ly to the silver purchase act of 1890. Congress had
been calledin special session to repeal the 1890 act,
but Vice-President Adlai E. Stevenson was known to
be "soft-mongy," or pro-silver, and it was feared that
the crisis would become worse if the President was

In the Day's News
BY FRANK JENKINS
In this space today, I'd like
to quote another dirt farmer on
what to do and what NOT to do
for agricluture. .
In our news columns, we
newspapers quote more or less
every day - what vote-chasing
POLITICIANS think ought to
be done for. the farmer.
I think we ought to hear more
on the subject from actual prac
ticing farmers.
fYTIS DIRT farmer, who broke
into the news last , week is
Charles Shuman. He is president
of the American Farm Bureau
Federation. He runs a farm near
Sullivan, IlL -
He told the American Bankers
Association at its annual con
vention in Chicago the other day
that POLITICAL pricing actions
by congress have -been largely
responsible for a 24 per cent
DECLINE, in farm prices in the
last five years - .!? '
TJOW COME?
He says:
"The future of farming is still
bright if the role of government
in agriculture is reduced AND
PRODUCES FOR THE RAP
IDLY EXPANDING CONSUM
ER MARKET RATHER THAN
FOR GOVERNMENT STORAGE
BINS." - ' ; , " "
What he means is that a
result of guaranteed high prices
for certain "basic" crops huge
surpluses of these crops- not
ably wheat and cotton have
been stashed away in govern
ment warehouses..
These huge surpluses hang
like a menacing thundercloud
over the markets. They will
continue to hang like a menacing
thundercloud over the markets
as long as they exist.
QO FAR his quoted criticisms
& of political efforts to help
the farmer have been destruc
tive. What does he have to offer
in a constructive way?" -(
He says:
"Stress should be placed on
expanding consumption of farm
products in this country and in
ceasing mutually advantageous
foreign trade. Action along these
lines would soon eliminate the
huge surplus accumulation that
is forcing prices downward."
In brief
He thinks the business of ag
riculture is to produce foods,
feeds and fibers TO BE CON
SUMED and not to be stored
away in warehouses for the rats
and mice to live on.
i He has a point there that is
worth more serious considera
tion it is getting. Where is this
business of subsidized accumu
lation to end?
What wUl happen when it
does end? - -
IJHE POLITICAL point involv
ed is that the politician lives
for EACH POLITICAL CAM
PAIGN as it comes along and
lets the future take care of it
self. His philosophy is- that if
he wins everything is lovely and
the goose hang will hang high
and if he loses it's the end of
the world anyway so far as he
is -concerned. ......
The dirt farmer, however,
can't proceed on that , basis.
Among other things, he has des
cendants to look out for. Louis
XIV, the spendthrift who bank
rupted France, could Shrug his
shoulders and say cynically:
"After me the deluge" mean
ing hat after he was dead he
wouldn't care what happened.

ness of making a living pr him

debate on the- tax issue. '.
He finally has forced the gov
ernment to seek a showdown
with him in the courts.
He was indicted last Friday
on the charge of "encouraging
collective refusal to pay taxes."
He. is to appear in court for a
preliminary hearing tomorrow.
Since he started . organizing
what he now calls the Union for
the Defense of Tradesmen' and
Artisans, Poujade has spread his
movement so that it affects 75
out of the 90 provincial depart
ments of France.
In the South, in some parts,
Poujade has almost paralyzed
tax collections.
His complaint is that the com
plicated tax systemis unfair to
the smaU businessman.
Demands Tax Revision
Poujade demands the drastic
revision of a tax system under
which shopkeepers and crafts
men must pay a multitude of
nuisance taxes.
He wants a system under
which taxes would be paid at
the source and included in the
wholesale prices which shop
keepers and craftsmen pay. s
He says he welcomes 'a prose
cution. He says he not only will
keep up his campaign but broad
en it to attack all kinds of gov
ernmental meddling in private
affairs.
The government takes "Pouj
adeism" seriously. It knows that
he. represents the view, of mil
lions of French people. It also
knows he has a compelling per
sonality. Red-faced, black-haired, tall,
heavy-set, he talks eloquently
and tirelessly in a hoarse but
pleasing Voice. He has a down-to-earth,
man-to-man manner.
Openly contemptuous" of author
ity, he said in a speech last
month that Parliament is "a
heap of manure."

A TRAITOR'S ADYICK I
Washington There was an
inconclusive but rather fascin
ating little episode in the fa
mous Bolshoi
theater in
Moscow some
months ago.
An Ameri
can lady who
had known the
British traitor,
Donald Mac
lean, before he
went over to
the Soviets,
was having
supper in the
restaurant during the intermis
sion of the opera. She glanced
across the crowded restaurant
and suddenly her eyes met Mac
lean's. They looked at each other
for a long moment and then the
lady turned to. her escort, to draw
his attention. She looked back
again almost immediately but
Maclean or was it his ghost?
had magically disappeared.
The episode is worth recalling
if only because it was the first
indication of what has now been
confirmed as a solid, and signifi
cant, fact. The recent British
White Paper on the case of Mac
lean and his fellow traitor, Guy
Burgess, is undoubtedly based
on hard intelligence. It has con
firmed that Maclean and Bur
gess are indeed living in or near
Moscow.
At the time of the incident
at the opera, it was only sus
pected that this was so. It was
also only suspected that the two
men were playing some . sort of
role in the making of Soviet

policy. Now this too has been
confirmed, also by the White
Paper, which states unequivocal
ly that both men have been
serving since their defections as
"advisers to the Ministry of For
eign Affairs and other Soviet
agencies."
It is interesting to speculate
on the kind of advice they may
have given. Burgess is a fool.
But Maclean is highly intelli
gent, however neurotic. More
over, he (knows this country
well, having served here, and
having also headed the Ameri
can department in th British
Foreign Office.
He is no doubt highly regarded
by his Soviet masters they
went to great trouble to get him
safely away when his treachery
was at last suspected. So it is
reasonable to suppose that his
advice is listened to with re
spect.
- .
T ET US, therefore, imagine
that Maclean is addressing a
gathering of influential Soviet
policy makers. Might he not
speak along somewhat the. fol
lowing lines?
"Comrades, I submit that in
the past our leadership has
gravely underestimated the ef
fect on the bourgeois mentality
of trivialities and superficial ap
pearances. Permit me to cite two
examples.
First, I propose that our Am
bassador in Great Britain should
develop a seemingly overpower
ing passion for roses. Such is
the emotiorial attachment of vast
numbers of the British bour
geoisie and lumpen proletariat
for these flowers that the Am
bassador s roses will, I assure
you, greatly stimulate the exist
ing impulse in Britain to aban
don the costly rearmament pro
gram.
"Second, I propose that
press campaign strongly praising
corn be initiated here. In the
United States, especially in the
key Middle Western area, corn
elicits much the same emotion
al response as do rosea in Brit
ain. There are numerous songs
in praise of corn, widely sung in
America, comparing its height,
for example, to that of an ele
phant s eye.
"As soon as it can be arranged,
a delegation should be sent to
America ostensibly to learn the
American method of growing
corn. For the benefit of the
American press photographers,
members of the delegation
should frequently epose regard
ing corn with evident admiration
and even on occasion embracing
a particularly vigorous stalk.
."Delegation : members should
also take every opportunity to
achieve a sympathetic identifica
tion with such other American
imperialist institutions as the
game of golf and women with
unnaturally long legs.
"I assure you, Comrades, that
such trivial gestures will have
a "profound effect upon the West
ern bourgeois mentality,, greatly
to our advantage. For the more
i sophisticated imperialists, more
serious but no more costly ges
tures will also, of course, be re
quired. -
-
"T SUGGEST as an Initial pro-
' gram the negotiation
of a peace treaty with Aus
tria, the normalization of our
relations with Yugoslavia anew
end, perhaps, the evacuation of
the Porkkala naval base, since
this can be reoccupied at a mo
ment's notice. Some' such pro
gram will give us precisely the
breathing space we need in order
decisively to surpass American
nuclear warfare capabilities, the
only area in which the Western
imperialists maintain a contin
ued superiority."
The foregoing is not, of course,
an entirely serious attempt to
reconstruct the advice Maclean
has given the Soviet Foreign Of
fice. And although it is believed
in knowledgeable quarters' that
Maclean's advice may genuinely
have affeced the Soviet foreign
policy line, it is of course silly
to suppose that Maclean alone is
the author of "recent changes in
that line. Yet the foregoing may
at least serve to suggest some of
the dangers to the West that
may lurk in "the new era of
Soviet smiles. It is well to re
member, at least, that oneday
the smiles may disappear as sud
denly as did Donald Maclean
that night at the opera.

Responsibility of
Newspaper Subject
Of Former Editor
Moore Hamilton, local post
master and former editor of a
Medford weekly newspaper, said
yesterday that monopolistic
newspapers have responsibilities
to the community which- are
otherwise virtually a s s u rS; d
where there are competing news-
papers.
Hamilton spoke at the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce
roundtable in connection with
National Newspaper Week this
week. ''
He said absolute monopoly in
newspapers too often results in,
complete stagnation, both of the
newspaper and the community.
Hamilton noted that even a small
weekly provides enough com
petition to a traditionally-estab
lished daily to keep the latter
alert to is responsibilities.
Hamilton pointed out, how
ever, that very few cities in Ore
gon have two daily newspapers,
and predicted that Portland's
two metropolitan dailies will
combine within five years. He
noted that both metropolitan. .
papers have essentially the same
eaitorial policies, and the only t
major difference. is in coverage
o local and state-wide news. .

his well-earned commission as

be a black mark on democratic

Landy was denied his com

held by a special review board.

the face of an ascending public

Landy hadn't done a thing
