NIXON 'VISITS' STASSEN
Washington (U.R) Workers

fast window cleaning job Tues

campaign picture of Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon on the
front window.
What is a vacation?
Webster defines it as "a respite or a time of re
spite; an intermission or rest; a period for rest and
recreation ; a holiday."
A vacation, then, can be different things to differ
ent people. ...
There are, of course, the stories about the bus
man's and postman's holidays, when they go for a ride
on the bus and go for a walk, respectively. These, in
the Websterian sense, are not vacations at all.
The ideal kind of vacation, in our mind, is to do
something which you enjoy, and which is as different
from what you usually do as possible. The postman
should ride the bus, and the busman take a walk.
-
I70R the city-bred and office-bound, then, we can
commend an outdoor-type vacation provided
only the subject thereof is willing to do without some
of the comforts and luxuries of modern life.
We speak from recent and happy experience
among the tall Redwoods and along the magnificent
vistas of the Pacific.
What is lacking in the wav of hot-and-cold-run-
ning-water, central heating and electric lights is more
than compensated by fresh air, the taste ot lood cook
ed out-of-doors, and the peace and serenity and in
spiration which cannot be found among buildings sur
rounded by hot asphalt and concrete. ' ,
Even the family secretary of health, education and
welfare (whose previous camping experiences left her
with a pro-indoor attitude) was converted. She sur
mounted camp cookery with expert stride, learned the
art of slumbering comfortably in sleeping bag with
air mattress, swatted an occasional mosquito with
good grace, and is already looking forward to the
next time she is aroused by the smell of cotfee and
the cry of the blueiays. E. A.
What Is "Right"?
A long time ago we remember reading something
(it may have been in the Reader s Digest) that has
stuck m our memory. It went something like this :
The only thing of which it is really difficult to be tol
erant is intolerance.
This is truth. It's just as well, too, because if there's
anything that makes the hackles rise on the neck of
the ordinary, easy-going, good humored, tolerant sort
of person, it is to hear another person criticize a third
on the basis of something that's none of his blankety-
blank business.
INTOLERANCE based on race or some other forms
of being "different" is not fashionable m polite so-
ciety today, and the words 'kike,' 'wop,' 'chink,' 'nig
ger and similar oitensive terms are neara, we liKe
to think, less than they used to be.
But there are other forms of intolerance slightly
less offensive, perhaps, but nonetheless devastating
and evil Ihese are the intolerances of non-conform
ism : in dress, religion, perhaps even in attitudes or
politics.
We were interested to read a plea entitled Won t
Somebody Tolerate Me?" m the current Harpers
magazine, by a woman who makes no oo'nes of the
fact that she is an agnostic some would call her an
atheist but who has found that the Constitutional
ly-guaranteed freedom of religion does not necessar
ily extend to people s attitudes about those who em
brace no formal, organized religion.
A MERICA was founded, and has grown, in diver
sity. It is one of her great strengths. Anything
which undermines and nullifies an individual s urge
to be different, to do things his own way, to do his own
thinking, tends to diminish that strength.
Tolerance, basically, is the ability to understand
the other guy's point of view. The more difficult that
point is to understand, the more difficult it is to be
tolerant. .
All this is not to say that toleration should be ex
tended to things we know to be wrong or intrinsically
bad. These should be combatted with all our energy.
And knowing: the difference between right and
wrong is essentially a moral judgment. .
rECIDING between different kinds of "right," how-
ever, is less a moral problem than one of the intel
lect. But a rational decision often is made difficult by
emotion, bias, prejudice none of which have any se
cure basis in fact. s
It may be true that most wars are fundamentally
economic in origin. But it is equally true that few wars
could ever be fought without a vast lack of under
standing (intolerance) of the problems and attitudes
of the other side, which lack is deliberately fo" :ited
during such periods.
Man is said to be a rational animal, the difference
which sets him aside from the.beasts of the field. But
until.he uses his intellect, collectively, to realize that
what is "right" for one may not be "right" for anoth
er, and that the world is big enough for both, he will
continue to be plagued by dissention and strife. E.A.

Blair Choice of Missouri Demos
St. Louis (U.R) Missouri
Democrats gave Lt. Gov. James
T. Bliar Jr. one of the biggest
majorities in the state's history
in nominating him for governor,
returns from Tuesday's primary
showed today.
With all but scattered rural
precincts reported, Blair won the
nomination by an 8 to 1 vote.
He had 283.844 to 13,456 for Roy
E. Ulidewell and 24,266 for
Charles E. Lee. Blair appeared to
have carried all but one of the
115 counties in the state and the
city of St. Louis.
Lon Hocker, St. Louis attor
ney, easily won the Republican
nomination for governor. With
nearly complete returns, Hocker
had 93,338 votes, Joseph M.
Whealen 36,938, and Winford
Sidebotham 10,143.
The contest or Republican
nomination for U.S. senator de
veloped into a close race between
Herbert Douglas, a Neosho, Mo,
lawyer, and Albert Schoenbeck,
a St. Louis railroad attorney.
Democratic incumbent Sen.
Thomas C. Hennings Jr. was un
opposed for renomination.
All of the state's 11 incumbent

has no doubts now that he will
be nominated.
This maneuver almost but
not yet has turned the South
away from him. It has made this
day one of troubled controversy
among Democrats gathering here
for their nominating convention
Steveson created this situation
by two strategic maneuvers
Tuesday and the day before. He
talked Monday with newsmen
who wrote for Tuesday's papers
that Stevenson wanted a strong
er civil rights plank this year
than in 1952.
Fear of Harriman
These news reports, however,
were not attributed to Steven
son. Even so, they startled
Southern conservatives who
were piling aboard the Steven
son band wagon for not much of
any reason other than their fear
Gov. Averell Harriman of New
York would be nominated if
Stevenson failed. For them it
was a bitter best-of-a-bad-bar-
gain.

Editorial Comment
THE STORY OF THE
PERSEIDS
This is the season of the Per-
seids.
They are the "shooting stars'
that will be blazing through
night skies for the next week
They will intrigue laymen and
provide new information for
savants who study the mysteri
ous realm between the planets.
Already the vanguard of the
Perseids are flaring across con
stellations. Some are so bright
they dim summer stars. They
will increase in intensity this
week and reach their maximum
about August 12.
The Perseids get their name
because they apparently radiate
from the Constellation Perseus.
Actually they do not come from
the distant suns of Persues. They
cruise around our own sun, in
an orbit.
This orbit, astronomers say,
was once the path of a comet.
Thousands of years ago that
comet was torn apart by the at
traction of some great body, pos
sibly the planet Jupiter.
For some 40.000 years the
remnants of the comet have
been dispersing through the en
tire orbit of the lost comet.
Seasonally the planet earth in
its swing around the sun bores
through the orbit of the van
ished comet. Bits of the old
comet plunge into the earth's
atmosphere and flare into in
candescence.
These meteors streak across
the sky at a terrific speed pos
sibly 30 miles a second. Some
are brilliant, and leave long
tails.
Yes, this is the season of the
fiery Perseids. Tired earthlings
will find it stimulating to look
aloft these dark nights.
The Perseids bear a message
from deep interplanetary space.
It is a story of a comet that lost
its bout with a planet.
Bend Bulletin I
in a televised interview. In it,
he said the civil rights plank
should express "unequivocal ap
proval of the Supreme Court de
cision. It must be stronger, he
said, than in 1952. Shocked
Southern leaders hurried to con
ference rooms and into print in
protest. i
There is time yet to compose
the differences within the party
sufficiently to prevent a bolt of
the South from Stevenson at
this convention or a bolt from
his candidacy if he is nominated.
But it is a near thing today. !
Time To Retreat
There Is time, also, for Steven
son to retreat a bit without get
ting hurt. The words "Supreme
Court" and "integration" are
hateful to the South. Some of
Stevenson's advisers believe
their man wants at least to
name the court in the platform
11 not the social system its dis
puted decision was designed to
bring about. He could back down
or. that and. still have his "un
equivocal approval."
If the court is named, the bolt
probably is on. The civil rights
plank now has become a matter
of language semantics is the
fancy name for it. The platform
drafters will seek , words and
phrases which will meet Steven
son's insistence upon unequivo
cal approval without being suf
ficiently specific to drive the
Southerners out of the conven
tion hall if it is adopted.
Two Conventions All
Prettied Up for Big
TVf Radio Coverage
Washington, D.C. Here come
the streamlined national politi
cal conventions, all dressed up
and polished for television.
Television coverage at the
1956 conventions will be 70 per
cent wider than four years ago,
according to industry estimates
Four hundred stations will
bring the conventions to 270
cities. Radio will add another
1,500 stations ' to convention
coverage.
In February - March of this
year, three out of four U.S
households had TV sets, accord
ing to Advertising Research
Foundation. There were 35,495,
000 homes with TV, 1,694,000 of
them having more than one set.
Probably several million more
homes now have sets.
At the time of the 1952 con
ventions there were only slight
ly more than 18 million TV sets.
They accounted for only 39 per
cent of U.S. homes. According
to a survey published this Feb
ruary by the Brookings Institu
tion, the Democratic convention
1952 reached a peak of 14,-
556,000 tuned-in TV sets; the
Republican convention a peak
of 13,097,000 home sets. Around
70 million persons had watched
some parts of the convention
telecasts. ;

DeSapio Directing
Harriman Strategy
Chicago (U.R) Carmine
DeSapio, New York political
leader, today masterminded a fi
nal stretch campaign in' an at
tempt to win the Democratic
presidential nomination for Gov.
Averell Harriman.
Since I've been here, Harri
man is picking up strength," De
Sapio said five hours after he
arrived Tuesday night to direct
Harriman's grand strategy.
The Tammany Hall chief pre
dicted a Harriman victory by
the third ballot next week.
DeSapio refused to say wheth
er former President Truman has
offered his support to the New
York governor. He said, how
ever, that Mr. Truman has em
phasized to him that he wants
winning candidate. ' DeSapio
added that he could sea no' other
candidate who fits this descrip
tion except Harriman. j
But reports circulating con

Truman is just about ready to

party standard bearer.
tional conventions' in 1948. No
national networks had been set
up, but there were about 700,000
sets and 41 stations.
Regional networks combined
their resources to bring cover
age irom convention hall in
Philadelphia to an estimated 10
million viewers along the East
em seaboard. Four years later
112 telecasting stations were in
operation in 66 market areas
Now the industry is talking
about a peak audience lor the
conventions of 100 million per
sons or more.
Television and radio coverage
of the conventions presents
complicated series of problems
in logistics. For example, the
network forces alone will num
ber about 1,125 persons, with
CBS. NBC, and ABC sending
about 350 staff members each to
rernrrt the orjening gun in Chi
cago. Mutual radio network will
contribute another 75. More
over, local radio and TV stations
will be sending statiers more
than 1300 of themto Chicago
tn rjrovide specialized coverage
CBS television and radio cov-
.n nf the convention win
cost an estimated S5 miUion.
NBC puts its costs at more than
S7 million; ABC at $2 million
to $3 million.
Maior Problem
A maior problem will be strik
ine the equipment in Chicago
and flvine it to San Francisco.
NBC will move about 10,000
pounds of equipment to Chicago
and thence to san rranciscu.
CBS says the gear it will fly to
San Francisco will come to iu
to 12 tons.
All this is predicated on an
adjournment of the Democratic
convention on Friday, as
planned. Indeed the whole
Democratic setup has been ar
ranged so that the Presidential
and Vice Presidential candidates
can be selected in time to make
their acceptance speeches on the
o'rime Friday evening broad
casting time.
What happens if the conven
tions overlap? The networks
would keep their main crews in
Chicago, inasmuch as any pro
longation would be the result of
a hot floor battle, pouna to De
more-dramatic than the routine
opening ceremonies of the GOP
convention. Skeleton crews
would go to San Francisco to
cut in from time to time on the
coverage from Chicago.
That could mean, according
to "Variety," an announcement
something like this: "We inter
rupt this convention to bring
you a convention.

Landon Doesn't Expect Surprises
Coming From Republican Meeting
BY ALF M. LANDON
Written for the United Press
Topeka, " Kan., (U.R) This
Nixon - Stassen - Herter business
has focused attention on the vice
presidential nomination at the
Republican convention. I don't
think there will be any surprises
at San Francisco. I believe Rich
hard Nixon will be the selection.
But I think this: The President
is the one man who can stop all
the speculation and discussion
by a flat, unequivocal statement
of his choice. I think the quicker
he does it the better off the
Republican party will be.
There is no use beating about
the bush. All this hullaballoo
about the vice presidential
nomination is the uncertainty
about Mr. Eisenhower's health
for the next four years.
No Preconceived Choice
Thinking back 20 years, I had
no preconceived choice for a
running mate. There was Frank
Knox, the Chicago publisher
who withdrew in my favor. And
there was Sen. Arthur Vanden
burg of Michigan. Knox had no
idea he would get the nomina
tion.
In-, fact he and Mrs. Knox and
his secretary stopped at an eat
ing place in Indiana while the
convention was in progress. A
radio was on in the next room.
Knox asked the secretary to go
turn it up so they could hear
who is being picked for vice
president." ;
The secretary ran back to
Knox, 'My God, they're nom
inating you!" ,
There is a great- parallel to
the 1956 national ; conventions
and those of 20 years ago.
Each nominee appears to be
known in advance; the coun
try's economy is on the upbeat;
and a popular president is seek
ing a second term.
The . difference, of course, is
that the Democrats had the
White House in 1936. The
Republicans are in today.
Presidents Judged! On Ti
The Democrats ' now t. up
against the same th i n g we
Republicans had 1 to face two
decades ago. Their nominee
and it seems to be Adlai Steven
son again must buck that same
stone wall.
I know how difficult it is
from experience. The American
people have a rough rule of
thumb on election years! They
judge their president mainly on
whether times are good or bad.
Someone asked me the other
day how the Republican party
has changed since I became the
GOP nominee at the age of 48.
Mr. Eisenhower's middle-of-the-road
philosophy definitely is
to the left of my middle-of-the-road.
In these last 20 years,
though, that is a natural development.-But
Ike's appointments
have been to the right of what
mine would have been had I
been elected.
Platforms Important '
Platform writing will be im
portant at Chicago and in San
Francisco. The party platform
should be framed so the can
didate can interpret it in the
light of his beliefs and policies.
This country is loo big, its
component areas too dissimilar
in economy and outlook, for a
platform to be fitted to all areas.
Stevenson's interpretation of
the civil rights plank is a case
in point more important than
how it is worded. In the 1956
campaign this will be especially
true for the Democrat running
against a president who has a
record of administrative deci
sions and policies on the sub
ject. " .". 1
Before I was nominated in
Cleveland in June, 1936, I had
sent the convention a wire from
Topeka giving my interpretation
01 tne platform. The conven
tion took it. I was the only man
put formally before the conven
tion in nomination.
Conventions and -campaigns
have changed with the chang
ing times coverage by televi
sion, air conditioned halls, and
the like.
But one thing about it never
varies the vital need for plenty
of hard work by the state and
county party, chairmen.

Spare Battery
To the Editor: To my unin
hibited way of thinking, a spare
battery is just about as necessary
as a spare tire. We have one of
these later model cars that if a
door is not closed, the light runs
the "-battery down. And despite
all precautions, the ignition and
headlights will be left on once in
a while. With no chance at all in
cranking a car, then it must be
pushed. These fluid drive cars
must be pushed miles-per to get
the engine turning over, really
dangerous on crowded streets.
The other alternative is the
misery and expense and delay of
recnarging and a rental battery.
o now, we have a dual-bat
tery car. The spare battery is up
front out of sight but handy to
get at, room enough between it
and the radiator to not bother

Adlai Launches
Final Drive for
Convention Votes
Chicago (U.R) Adlai E.
Stevenson launched his final
drive today for enough Demo
cratic convention votes to assure
him a second-chance president-
lal nomination.
Stevenson's high command,
led by Campaign Manager James
A. . Finnegan, - moved into the
Conrad Hilton hotel, convention
headquarters, oozing confidence
that Stevenson will win the nom
ination hands down.
Finnegan stuck to his fore
cast that the former Illinois gov-
ernor will marshal at least 630
of the required 686V4 conven
tion votes on the first ballot.
First Ballot Win Seen
There doesn't seem to be any
likelihood of it going beyond the
second ballot, and it seems rea
sonable to believe we will win
on the first," Finnegan said.
Jacob Arvey, Democratic na
tional committeeman from Illi

he believed Stevenson would win
on the first ballot.
Arvey described Sen. John
Kennedy of Massachusetts, Sen.
Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota
and Sen. Estes Kefauver of Ten
nessee as the front runners for
the vice presidential race. He
said there also was talk about
New York Mayor Bob Wagner,

Economic Policies
Of GOP Claimed To
Hinder Country
Chicago (U.R) Former
President Truman's one - time
economic adviser said today the
Eisenhower administration has
"deliberately contrived" slow
downs in the nation's economic
growth, rather than bring about
the unparalleled peaceful pros
perity it claims.
Leon H. Keyserling, now an
economist for Americans for
Democratic Action, said the ad
ministration's economic philos
ophy is "that small recessions
are 'healthy readjustments' and
that cultivated economic slack
is needed to eliminate the 'inef
ficient' farmer and small busin
essman, and to "keep labor in
its place.' "
'Ridiculous Myth' "
In a statement prepared for
delivery before the Democratic
Platform committee, Keyseling
said the administration's claims
of unparalleled prosperity are a
"ridiculous myth."
Keyserling said the GOP ec
onomic policies have kept the
nation from being more prosper
ous than it is.
Per capita farm income declin
ed about three per cent a year
under President Eisenhower,
Keyserling said. Small business
is being "hounded, squeezed and
anesthetized," he added.
He attacked the GOP admin
istration for a "hard money" pol
icy and what he called a "precarious-
effort to balance the
budget at the expense of nation
al security, economic progress
and human well-being." .
The GOP economic policies.
he said, discriminate against low
income groups for the benefit
of the wealthy few.
