Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
WHATEVER u Ule tremendous stake In tlx
Oregon republican presidential preference
battle, Tom Dewey won It. The New York governor
l n effective stoo to the Stas-
J ..n ornundsweU Uiai naa snou
sensationally In other Hates.
ortitiv Dewev chose lust
i the psychological moment to move
Into the Oregon situation. When
s ' he came nere, wic a
f .. . TV,. xtlnne-
I solan had already been here, had
j made an extremely lavoraoie im
pression, and It looxea uae
I cinch.
Dewey burst over the state tn
. Mmnnini unnrecedented for an
' outsider seeking national office.
u-. t,.rf h.rf . few sumDses ot
tl'Ltl "B
ih.v had made speeches
presiaeuuai 1 - .
here, but none had ever come in to stay for a
fortnight and campaign In not just the cities, but
towns and hamlets.
At Hit Best
DEWEY was evidently at his best In Oregon.
People who had seen him four years ago.
when he was the republican presidential nominee,
remarked upon his change in campaign tactics and
attitude toward the public. He was warm, friendly,
and people liked him. He was outspoken and forth
right, and people liked that.
Dewey picked up an Issue with Stassen over the
tatter's declaration for the outlawry of communism.
Stassen raced back to Oregon to stop the Dewey
surge, and challenged the New Yorker for a debate.
They debated, and while It sounded to most of us
like a tie. certainly Dewey did not come off second
best. ' After the debate the suspicion grew that
Stassen had made the communism declaration be
cause it would sound good, and that perhaps it was
Ill-conceived, after all.
It was not, however, a terrifically Important Issue
between them, but it. and other factors, helped to
lose the battle for Stassen and win ft for Dewey.
What happened will certainly have to go down as
one of the outstanding political triumphs In our
memory.
Oregonlans, of course, got a great kick out of find
ing themselves In the national limelight. And today,
they're getting a great kick out of the realization
that the Oregon election result is making major
..headlines everywhere.
-.
Good Men
MOST Oregonlans. I believe, felt much as I did
about Dewey and Stassen that they are both
good men, and that the choice was hard to make.
In the final tussle, Dewey edged out front. It is
to be hoped that whatever the outcome in convention.
Harold Stassen continues to 'play a major role In
the republican party. He is a good man and his
help will be tremendously valuable to the nation
and the party.
Will Dewey get the nomination? That Is not easily
answered. There has been a lot of betting among
the wiseacres that the whole Dewey - Stassen
ruckus here was a futile gesture that In convention,
the nod would go to somebody else, anyhow.
This much can be said, however: Without his
Oregon victory. Dewey's ambition for the presidency
this time would be doomed. Now, you can't count
him out.
Surprise
A SURPRISE of the election was the victory of
Douglas McKay In the republican governorship
nomination battle. Senator McKay was not much
of a campaigner, and the talk everywhere was that
he didn't have a chance. But the Scotchman from
Marlon county won, mainly, I would say, because
of these reasons: 1. The Idea got around that Sen
ator McKay Is a man of character. J. Governor Hall
was unable to overcome the feeling that he was
friendly with on-the-margin gambling and liquor
Interests.
Although Governor Hall had done a good Job in
the governorship office, his record as legislator
and his connections as an attorney no matter how
legal with Interests that were under the shadow
of public disfavor in Portland, hurt htm in the
critical pinch. There was a reform wave undei
way In Porllnnd. as witness Dorothy Lee's defeat of
Earl Riley. That damaged Hall In his own county,
and McKay had strength up state to go with the sur
prising help that came his way in Portland.
In the fall. It will be McKay against Senator Lew
Wallace. Portlander who Is an old hand at demo
cratic politics In the state.' Senator Wallace got the
democratic nomination without contest.
TIME forbids comment on the other results of
tho primary election. By and large, it was one
of the most Interesting I have ever witnessed In this
state.
In general. It ended most satisfactorily.
These Days
By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
COLLIER'S magazine each year gives a prize to a
member of the United Suites senate and a mem
ber of the house of representatives "for distinguished
congressional service.- Along with the citation, a
gift of $10,000 Is given to each winner to be given
to public purposes designated by the winner. This
year the prises went to Alben W. Barkley, senator
from Kentucky, and Christian A. Herter. representa
tive from Massachusetts. Both are able men. Senator
Barklev having led his party tor many years; Con
gressman Herter having made a masterly Investiga
tion of conditions in Europe in connection with EKP.
Barkley Is a democrat: Herter a republican. v
The setup surrounding this prize-giving is com
plex. Collier's keeps out of it. except for a repre
sentative in Washington. James C. Derieux, who acts
as liaison between the publishers and a committee
which makes the final selections. This year the
committee was headed by Eric A. Johnston and con
sisted of 20 members.
Polls Taken
IN order to be adequately advised, the committee is
provided with considerable data. Including two
polls. According to the setup, the committee forms
its own conclusions and it may Ignore all the polls
and all the data provided. Why Colliers bothers
busy men to make decisions which may be. and
this year were, ignored, it is difficult to understand.
Perhaps, if the polices knew that their votes did
not count, they would save themselves the effort.
The polls are kept confidential so that usually the
candidates for the prizes as well as the public
' assume that the final decision of Collier's committee
In some way reflects the polls.
For Instance. 38 Washington newswriters. editors,
broadcasters and columnists were polled this year in
an "advisory poll." They were asked to make first,
second and third choices. Twenty candidates for the
senatorial prize appeared and the top five for first
choice were as follows:
Taft 12
Barkley 3
Flanders ...... 3
Ives . 3
Tobey 2
An advisory nationwide poll of daily newspaper
editors for the senatorial prize shows for the top
five as first choice:

thing, my mother has a brand-new washing machine and

Regarding the senatorial prize, the winner on the
basis of both these polls would have been Senator
Robert A. Taft; for the congressional prize, It would
lie between Christian Herter and Joe Martin. In
spite of Taft's preference In both polls, the com
mittee chose Barkley, who Is second In one poll and
fifth In the other.
There Is much to be gleaned from these polls as
to national Interest and popularity, and as to that,
there will be further reference In this column.

Mysterious Traveler
By GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute -of
Public Opinion
PRINCETON, N. J.. May 23 A
majority of American voters believe
that the federal government should
help state governments finance
their school systems.
People who believe a number of
states do not provide satisfactory
schooling for
their children
are much more
likely to be In
favor of federal
school assist
ance. This Issue la
now before con
gress in the form
of the Taft bill,
already passed
by the senate,
under which the
national govern
ment would
spend about
(300.000.000 annually In school aid.
A similar bill Is being considered
by the house committee on educa
tion and labor.
Public sentiment on the is&ue was
tested by this question asked of
representative voters throughout the
country:
"There is a bill now before con
cress which asks that the federal
government distribute about $300.-
000,000 a year to the states for
school aid. Do you think congress
should provide the money for this
purpose or should school aid be left
up to each state?"
The answers:
Approve federal aid 51
Qualified approval 5
Left up to state aid 31
No opinion 13
Respondents giving qualified ap
proval said mainly that federal aid
should go only to the states most
in need of financial help In raising
educational help, which is the gen
eral Intent of the Taft bill.
Main reasons for those support
ing federal aid are that it would
raise teachers' salaries, that states
needing better schools are unable
to finance improvements, and that
the federal government would do a
. better Job than the states are now
doing.
Voters opposing the proposal say 1
that each state knows Its own prob-
lems best, that federal government !
has enough power now, and that
j the money would be wasted.
J Proponents of federal aid to
j schools cite considerable differences
in per capita weaiin in inuiviauai
states, which, they say. have caused
uneveness in the quality of educa
tion available to children. The pro
posed legislation represents an at
tempt to bring all states up to a
minimum standard. '
Half the voters In today s poll
believe some states are below stan
dard In providing education. The
cross-section was asked:
"Do you think there are any sUtea
In this country which do not pro
ride a good enough (satisfactory)
education for children?"
Fifty-one per cent answered In
the affirmative, 20 per cent said
"no" and 29 per cent had no opinion.
Here is how the people voted on
federal aid who say that some stales
do not provide satisfactory educa
tion: Approve federal aid 61
Qualified approval 6
Left up to states 2S
No opinion 9
Voters who do not recognize any
differences in equality of education
among states say:
Approve federal aid 37
Qualified approval 3
Left up to states 46
No opinion 14
In recent years states have as
sisted local schools, but opposition
to federal aid has been strong on
the basis of "states rights." Both
the Taft bill and house measure
specifically prohibit, the use of fed
eral funds in order to wield any
federal control over curricula, per
sonnel or instructional methods.
The senate passed the Taft bill
April 1, under which a minimum of
$50 per child would be placed on
the combined federal and state as
sistance for education. It also pro
vides a federal subsidy of $5 per
child for states above the 150 min
imum spending rate.
Qrtal hopes of Hindu-Moslem

In short. "C. R." or ' Rajajl" to
give the terms of affection to which
the public has reduced his rather

Small Wonder
SnirtU wonder then that his ap
pointment to the high position of
governor general should immediately
give rise to the thought that he
might be the one chosen by des
tiny to bring an end to the ane-old
and bloody strife between Mmlem
and II Indus. Many of the more hope
ful even are envisaging the ultimate
union of the now two distinct do
minions of India Hindu 1 and Pnk
istau tMoslemi. That "C. R." him
self is thinking along the lines of
peace was clearly demonstrated the
other day when he made a sneeeh
in which he reierred to the partition
of the peninsula Into the two domin
ion, in these trms:
"If you will look at both sides of
It you will malr.tain silence and ac
cept the present conditions.
"These partitions are temporary
play. Society will become one and
Indlvldlble through the governments 1
may be divided for all tune the dl- j
vision of governments may be there i
but the peoples will soon become one j
all over India and be a great people
of the world."

Drunks Need Diagnosis
Br EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Serrlce
If there are nearly 4.000,000
chronic and excessive drinkers In
the United States today, as has
been estimated, the problem Is reaUy
colossal. While complete abstinence
may be the answer for some. It must
be realized that this Is not a prac
tlcable solution for all alcoholics at
present. There should, therefore, be
renewed attempts to Inform people
of the desirability of moderation.
There Is little doubt that the con
sumption of alcohol In beveragei
has increased enormously. This has
brought about a serious problem to
Individuals, as well as to society In
general.
, Medical Care Needed
The attack on alcoholism and
serious problem drinking must be
made on an Individual basil. This,
however, Is not enouch. Acute al
coholic Intoxication may, and often
does, require medical care. There is
need to Improve this type of care
Few hospitals, for example, have the
facilities or the desire to care for
the person who Is Intoxicated. Many,
who would be better off In a hospi
tal, are put in Jail.
The unfortunate people who are
already steady drinkers need help.
Such aid Is given In some Institu
tions, by some psychiatrists or men
tal specialists, and by a remarkable
organization known as Alcoholic
Anonymous. The latter Is made up
of men and women who have them
selves conquered an addiction to al-

The whole problem of alcoholism
Is a serious one. It Is challenging

the first man In history to sit on an
ostrich egg and hatch It single

the first man to sell an Icebox to
an Eskimo and find a needle In a
haystack.
Let's put him In charge of the
committee's "lost and found" de
partment and send him off In Rud
yard Kipling's phantom rickshaw
to get the real lowdown on what
happened to Charley Ross, the kid
naped Philadelphia boy. He could
also take aldelrlps expenses pnld.
looking for Ambrose Rierce, Justice
Joseph Force Crater. Adolph Hitler,
and the ctgar store Indian.
That still leaves plenty of prob
lems for the committee members
themselves.
