o
Stassen's Bid for Mayoralty
Of Philadelphia Significant
By LYLE C. WILSON
' Washington ..- (TPD - Place a
ring on your calendar around
this date: No& 3, 1959. That
could be a big
day in presi
dential poli
tics. On that
day Harold E.
Stassenwillbe
running again.
S t a s sen has
been running
for something
or other dur-
Lyi c. wusoa mg most of the
past 30 . years . since he was
elected Dakota County, Minne
sota, county attorney.
Next Nov. 3, Stassen will be
running', for mayor of Phila
delphia. He has lowered his
political sights considerably.
Stassdh was a three time gov
ernor of Minnesota beginning
in. 1939 at age 32. He showed
some, not much, early foot in
two or three springs for the
Republican presidential nomi
nation. In 1948, Stassen shift
ed his political base from Min
nesota to Pennsylvania but
was unable to generate there
much enthusiasm for his poli
tical ambitions.
Statten Bounced
Pennsylvania's Republic a n
regulars threw Stassen so
hard last year that he bounced

of America and the FBI arc
looking for $113,200 in cash.
The money has apparently
disappeared between the
bank's closely guarded re
serve vault and one of its 17
branches. (
"There is definitely a short
age but not on our books," a
spokesman said when the dis
appearance was discovered.
"It appears to bea case of
misplaced funds."

and ricocheted with the force
of his fall. That was the oc
casion when he bucked the
party organization in a grab
for Pennsylvania's 1958 gu
bernatorial nomination. The
regulars beat Stassen in the
primary with Arthur T. Mc
Gonigle, a pretzel bender who
was a political unknown but
with considerable charm and
vote-appeal.
McGonigle lost the gover
norship, however, to Demo
cratic Mayor David L. Law
rence of Pittsburgh. The Re
publicans salvaged a U.S. Sen
ate seat from their November,
1958, calamity. ( Rep. Hugh
Scott won it. McGonigle's de
feat was a shocker to the Re
publican Old Guard. They
couldn't have done much
worse and might have done
better at the polls if they had
accepted Stassen.
Political Maverick
Stassen is a political maver
ick, however, a Modern Re
publican with a capital M.
He plays rough and junks the
rules when they seem to im
pede him. As, for example,
in a pre-convention effort for
the presidential nomination,
Stassen violated the tradition
that an outsider does not,
should not, invade the state
of a favorite son in a raid
for delegates. Stassen so in
vaded Ohio that time' against
Jtobert A. Taft and got him
self some new enemies there-
Another time, Stassen
tapped down from the Re
publican national convention
rostrum where he just had
delivered the keynote speech
and became floor manager for
Wendell Willkie's campaign
for the Republican presiden
tial nomination. The Old
Guard was enraged at this
breach of keynote speaker
decorum and even more dis
turbed when Stassen's man
won out. Willkie scarcely
could qualify as a Republican
at the time he kidnapped the
party s presidential nomina
tion and Stassen,. of course,
was a party to the snatch. That

was in 1940. In 1955-56 Stas
sen led the movement to de
prive Vice President Richard
M. Nixon of renomination.
Not Completely Loved
Those are some of the rea
sons Stassen is not loved by
party regulars. He has made
his peace with the Republican
organization in Philadelphia,
however, such as it is, which
isn't much. He won the may
oralty nomination with or
ganization backing and prac
tically without effort on May
19. He will run in November
against mayor Richardson Dil
lorth. There will be Republi
cans about who will hope
Stassen gets licks.
If Stassen wins he auto
matically will become a big
figure in the Republican par
ty. He and Scott will be ma
jor powers in the state and
in the national organization.
Stassen surely will throw his
weight against Nixon for the
1960 presidential nomination.
His weight might, even, be
decisive. More than the Phila
delphia Mayoralty may be up
for grabs next November.

Graham Attacks
Sex Overemphasis
London -UPD- Overemphasis
on sex is one of the greatest
dangers faced by the western
world, American evangelist
Billy Graham said oday.

rest after three months of
crusades in .Australia and
New Zealand, pointed to Lon
don's parks as an example of
what he meant. '
He said the great parks of
London were.' so much like
bedrooms that he was forced
to cut short a walk he was
taking with his wife Sunday.
Graham added: "
"We have made idols of
people who put their empha
sis on sex. I think the new
generation coming along is
far better acquainted with
Jayne Mansfield's statistics
than it is with the Second
Commandment, which orders
that thou shalt not take unto
thee any image ...
"This is a danger ta our cul
ture. "It is a terrible hing and
one of the factors which de
stroyed Rome and other cities.
"It is going to bring the
judgment of God on any city
that goes the way of Sodom
and Gomorrah."

from one shaft there suddenly came a dismal groan, "For

Atlanta Granted
Time to Integrate
Atlanta (UPD Two federal
court judges have given At
lanta "a reasonable time" to
come up with a plan for de
segregation of public schools.
The judges have issued
an order prohibiting discrim
ination against Negro school
children.
A decision ordering imme
diate or early integration had
been expected by many At
lanta residents. The actual
ruling was considered lenient
compared with those expecta
tions. The language of the order
apparently means the city
will have at least until, 1961
to make the transition.
The state legislature con
venes Jan. 12, 1960, and is
expected to enact new segre
gation laws.
Any school ordered to de
segregate would be automatic
ally closed under present
state law. . ' .
, A grass roots movement was
under way Saturday to per
suade the 1960 Legislature to
keep public schools open re
gardless of integration or segregation.
