A Battle of
If, as seems likely, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller
runs against Averill Hamman for Governor of
New York two years hence, a very unusual and
instructive campaign should result.
Here are two American millionaires par
don MULTI-millionaires who in their back
grounds economically,
have much in common.
Their respective plutocratic dynasties were
founded by two of the most prominent and amu
ent "economic royalists"
John D. Rockefeller and E. H. Hamman, one
making money beyond
OIL, the other in RAILROADS.
THEIR differences are
1 and political affiliations. Governor Hamman
is a son of the Railroad "Little Wizard", whereas
Nelson Aldrich is a GRANDSON ot "the Croesus
of them all", "John D.R."
But their backgrounds socially and economi
cally could rightly be called identical. Harriman
outranks young Rockefeller as far as the "Social
Recrister'Ms concerned, but that is of no import
ance in ranking them
politics.
Here we have Hamman, with a distinguished
record of nolitical achievement as a Democrat
and Rockefeller, with no
as yet but highly regarded m Republican Upper
Brackets, a close friend of President Eisenhower,
and generally admitted
GOP nominee to run against Marnman m iybu
fXN SUNDAY before
w Mr. Rockefeller had
denying he was seeking
urgent. the Renublican
stubbornly to commit himself definitely in either
direction, but it was quite evident that if the
nomination should come
be willing.
We thou?ht Nelson
in making it factually
regular and orthodox lOUVb Republicans, ne naci
no use for the rjrincinles of F.D.R.'s "New Deal".
Also he could not be termed "liberal" politically
speaking, and really felt that Governor Ham
man, had NOT, all in all, given the people of New
York a pretty satisfactory and business-like ad
ministration. . . - i
IN ANSWER to a question as to his New Deal
tendencies, and the emphasis of government
financial aid, both at home and abroad, he tried
to draw St distinction between the philosophy of
the "New Deal", in its fight to halt the depression
of the early 1930's; and the suggestions oi tne
Rockefeller report to halt the present recession
by, in effect, denying the latter was "pump-priming"
and calling it a viable, adjustable and
flexible economy.
If this attempt should be followed in his cam-
paign, we doubt if it will prove very effective.
AS TO Governor Harriman's record in Albany
" Rockefeller was asked directly if he thought
it had had its ffood noints. The vounsr man took
refuge in the observation
for a Republican, would be diiticult to make.
In other words the radio audience undoubted
ly took this to mean, that the main criticism of his
prospective opponents administration was that he
was not a member of his (Rockefellers) party.
A GAIN if this line should be followed in his
" campaign we fear Mr. Rockefeller, against
his more experienced and resourceful opponent
would find himself in certain serious difficulties.
IN OTHER words, if this gubernatorial cam-
paign should materialize as everything indi
cates, it promises to, it will bring into sharper
relief than any important campaign in recent
years, the fundamental make-believe and sham of
partisan politics as it stands at the present time.
With Averill Harriman running against Nel
son .Aldrich Rockefeller there would, aside from
experience and personality, be only ONE issue
of the slightest national importance between
them.
That would be in the realm of economics. As
Governor Harriman so well stated, he believes
Big Business has its place in the American econ
omy, but it should be kept IN its place. It should
not run the country.
v As- far as our inf ormation goes Nelson Rocke
feller has not definitely stated his views in this
field. But it is fair to assume we believe, that a
young man who asserts with such pride, that he
is a Republican by inheritance, training and in
clination, who instinctively regards Democrats as
somehow inherently "beyond the pale", would
follow the traditional GOP line, as upheld and
pursued by the "Old Guard" and in spite of his
good record as a "liberal", 'when the chips are
down, he would agree that Big Business has its
place, and that politically and in our economy it
should be a dominant one.
fNLY there the two New York candfdates
would really reach the parting of the ways.
But if they do make the race, the voters will
never get the idea this is the only valid issue.
The properties and stage settings and cam
paign buttons for the familiar sham battles will
be brought out, and the two candidates will go

Matter of Fact
THE NEW 'MR.
REPUBLICAN
Washington If you, had to
choose a single individual to
typify the Republican Party,
the best
choice nowa
days would
surely be Wil
liam S. Know-
land. By the
same token,
K n o wland's
situation
in California
beautif u 1 1 y
Joseph aisop typuies tne
situations of all the Republi
cans who are running for elec
tion this year.
Over the week end the Sen
ator flew across the continent
to appear, like a burly Dan
iel in a populous lions' den,
before a Fresno meeting of
the California leaders of Big
Labor. His chosen topics were
the beauties of the two meas
ures the AFL-CIO chiefs dis
like the most, the right-to-work
bill and Senator McLel-
lan's new labor reform bill.
"I expect," he said with a
grin, "something less than an
enthusiastic reception."
rpHIS defiantly tenacious ad---
herence to established Re
publican, attitudes is what
makes Bill Knowland the new
"Mr. Republican." In this
troubled year, with the threat
of joblessness on most work
ers' minds, another candidate
might be inclined to de-em
phasize the right-to-work bill.
But Knowland points out that
Bob Taft beat the tar out of
the Ohio labor leaders after
he pushed through the Taft-
Hartley Act. So he plunges
doggedly onward, down the
road he chose a year ago.
I think," he says, with his
peculiar, ponderous confi
dence, "that I'll actually get
a fair percentage of the labor
vote. I'm going to work for it,
anyway. '
But what . makes Know-
land's situation so typical of
the situation of all Republi
can candidates is something
that the hardest work by
Knowland cannot alter. To be
blunt about it, President Ei
senhower is by no means the
great Republican asset that he
used to be. No known Repub
lican candidate anywhere is
making his main pitch this
year on the basis that he is a
hundred per cent Eisenhower
man. A few Republicans, in
the farm states of the Mid
west particularly, are virtu
ally running against their
own President, and above all
against their President's farm
policy.
NOTHING of that sort is to
aynppfoH frrm Tail!
Knowland, whose party loyal
ty is as solid as his large
physical frame. All the same,
if President Eisenhower had
sat up all night thinking
about the best way to hurt
Bill Knowland's chances for
the California governorship
and Goodie Knight's chances
for the senatorship, he. could
not have found a better meth
od than his veto of the pump
priming Rivers and Harbors
bill. The bill Eisenhower ve
toed last week included no
less than 29 California proj
ects, estimated to cost just
under $200,000,000 of federal
funds. Furthermore, develop
ment and control of water re
sources are just about the
hottest issues in California to
day by Knowland's own frank
admission.
Characteristically, Know-
land is no more than a bit
rueful about the President's
action. '. Of his visit to the
White House to plead against
the veto, he says (and one be
lieves him, strangely enough),
"I didn't put it on a personal
basis I just explained the
viewpoint of Congress." And
of the veto itself he says
(sticking out his chin like a
bulldog seeking a good, en
during grip), "It may hurt me
for the time being; -but the
By Joseph Alsop
people of my state will . re
member my own 25-year rec
ord on water resources. That's
what will count in the end."
7"OTJ catch the same tone in
a less marked way in Bill
Knowland's discussion of
what is for him the real, life-an.d-death
election problem,
the recession. He admits that
the Eisenhower administra
tion is "taking a bit of a gam
ble" to adopt a wait-and-see
policy toward the current lag
in the economy. He personally
forecasts an autumn upturn.
Ask him whether there is
truth in the theory that the
Republicans cannot carry cru
cial Los Angeles county with
unemployment at 7 per cent
or above, as it is at present.
Then he replies soberly:
"I don't necessarily agree
with that. Furthermore I
think people will feel next
fall that we are going ahead
again. But if the economic
picture gets very much
worse, it will be pretty rough,
I have to agree."
Yet nothing discourages
Knowland. who is already
spending all the time left over
by his Senate leadership on
plans for "my. intensive 90
day campaign." After the Sen
ate session ends, he expects
to make six speeches a day
for three continuous .months.
He remembers all the other
times when he ran against
odds, beginning with the very
first time in 1932, when' he
got an 1100-vote majority in
a state assembly district that
Franklin Roosevelt simultane
ously carried by 6,000 votes.
Knowland is not only solid;
he is also tireless. He is not
only naturally sanguine; he
is also firmly convinced that
every Republican campaigner
is doing the Lord's work. Fi
nally, he likes a fight.
"I think I'll win," he sums
up, with stern conviction.

In the Day's News
By FRANK
Some figures put out a few
days back by the federal gov
ernment departments that
deal with employment and un
employment indicate that the
unemployment rate is highest
in the highly industrialized
Northeast, second highest
along the growingly indus
trialized Atlantic coast and
third highest in the Pacific
Coast states of Oregon, Wash
ington and California, where
the relatively new industrial
ization of the Far West is
chiefly concentrated. They
show that unemployment
tends to be lowest in the agri
cultural areas of the Middle
West.
That is to say, agriculture
is a stabilizing influence in
our American economy. Ex
cept in war booms, it doesn't
rise to dizzy heights. But, on
the other hand, it doesn't fall
to the bottom depths.
THESE figures show per
centage of unemployment
(that is, percentage of the to
tal labor force that is without
jobs) for the month of March.
Here they are for the six
farthest west states:
Oregon 9-5
Nevada 9.3
Washington 8.8
California . - 8.5
Idaho 1- 7.5
Arizona 6.6
YOU will note, of course,
that Oregon heads the list.
But, before jumping to the
conclusion that Oregon is
headed for the poorhouse,
let's do a little analyzing.
Oregon, as everyone knows,
has too many of her eggs in

ing of rough lumber. Rough
lumber is traditionally up or
down. It rides the wave's

Criticizes City Dads
To the Editor: In a recent
issue of the Tribune we are
informed that the mayor and
his council had given, or were
giving, to a couple of TV
companies the franchises for
closed TV.
We were further informed
that the initial cost would be
$50 plus a monthly charge of
$5 a month.
It seems to me to be a
highly cavalier action on the
part of such authorities to
take at the absurd cost at
tached. How many of us can
take such an expense with
out some protest? I, for one
cannot, and I shall not.. I re
fuse point blank to pay such
a price for such questionable
entertainment.
Also, we have a very good
TV set right here in our city
and it is free. , '
Why pay another Channel
for the same programs that
we get on KBES-TV?
For many of them will be
duplicated. Think it over.
There is another matter
which should be brought to
the citizens' attention.
It is the matter of poor, or
no, sewers in certain streets
around Hedrick school.
Do we want a typhoid epi
demic? Can we afford one?
Do we want our children ex
posed to such a danger?
In the light of such items
I am constrained to believe
that we should use every pos
sible effort to dislodge the
mayor and his council from
the city hall and do our best
to replace them with men
who will harken to "the Voice
the of People."
And with them the city mis
manager Duff excuse me
City Manager Duff. Why not
give him a chance to walk
away from here? The farther
the better. . ,
i I, so far, have seen nothing
of note that he has accomp
lished, except, perhaps, to
collect his pay each and every
month.
, It might be a good idea to
form a Citizens' club to keep
a watchful eye upon city hall
doings. .
We can congratulate our
selves in that "we have a very
fine police force. And I be

I can well understand and
appreciate Mr. Krauss' posi
tion as I, too, went through
the same embittered "agnos

ed myself -in as much of
Plato, Hume, Berkeley, Kant,
James, etc., as eight studious
years would permit. I found
in Paine's "Age of Reason"
and in Ingersoll's works (I
thought) the key to Biblical
errancy; and I prided myself
that I was, to quote Henley,
"Master of my fate and cap
tain of my soul."
But I was wrong dead
wrong. Space does not per
mit a step-by-step analysis of
my present position and be

I would gladly challenge any
one, anywhere who is dili
gently searching for eternal
truths (fall where they may)
to open the covers of his
Bible and assiduously delve
in.
Agnostics Lew Wallace and
Hall Caine, among many oth
ers, did so in response to a
similar challenge; and the re
suit was that each of those
authors wrote a great Chris
tian classic, "Ben Hur" and
the "Life of Christ."
In closing, I may still be
wrong in what -I hold to be
true; but in the final judge

Tito to Poland and a -visit by

be cancelled unless the situa

The new dispute stems from
a 100,000-word declaration of
policy drafted by the Yuglo
slav Communist Party in mid
March in preparation for to
day's congress.
The declaration never has
been made public. But ap
parently it was circulated to
other Communist parties.
Several Roads to Socialism
In the declaration the party,
which means Tito, continued
his insistence on the right of
Communist-ruled countries to
pursue their ( own "roads to
socialism" ' that is, to run
their own affairs without in
terference by the Kremlin.
But to make things worse,
the declaration said the "pow

responsible for present world
tension.
Russia is against power
blocs. But the only power
blocs it recognizes are those
defense alliances which the
United States and other free
countries have formed.

that really good Communists
would not attend today's con
gress, regarded as the most
important since the end of
World War II.
Extensive Preparations Mad
Tito had made extensive
preparations to play host to
big delegations of Communists
and had reserved hotel suites
for them in Ljubljana. In
hope of mending the breach,
he ordered some revisions in
the Yugoslav Party's declara
tion. But they were not radi

Orders went out to the
big Communist delegations to
remain at home. The Red

Tito did not help any when
in a speech last Saturday, on
his reelection by his parlia

foreign policy.
Two big points he made
were: 1 "Cooperation with
all countries willing to rec

partners" and 2 "Non-interference
in the internal af

These two points, which

argue that free TV already
offers everything that pay TV
could offer.
Well, last week's ding-dong
championship fight between
Carmen Basilio and Sugar
Ray Robinson was conspicu

TV screens. Free TV provides
the routine weekly boxing
matches, but not the big ones.
Pay TV could have brought
the Basilio battle into your

Broadway having a run of
popular entertainment, free
TV doesn't bring them to your
screen. No, you'll not see the
likes of "L'il Abner," "Oh
Captain!", "Romanoff and Ju
liet," or "My Fair Lady" on
your screen. But you could if
pay TV were allowed to share
the airwaves with free TV.

As long as free TV net
works continue to enjoy the
special privilege of monopo
lizing the air waves, many
Americans will be deprived
of seeing on their home
screens the sort of entertain
ment they would gladly ;pay
to see. Bangor (Me.) News.
