' The newsroom asks to pass the
word on to you that If you've
missed the market reports recent
ly, you'll Just have to chalk It up
to the weather.
The market dope Is compiled by
the AP and comes in on the w ire
between 12:00 and 1:30 o'clock
each day. In order to get the pa
per delivered to you, an early
press run is made between 12:00
and 1:00.
That gives the rural auto route
drivers a chance to buck the snow
and make the rounds for sure, but
it doesn't give you the markets.
i The newsroom also invites you
to phone in between 1:00 and 2:00,
and someone will read the reports
to you Individual service, hot off
the wire.
When road conditions permit,
we'll be back to normal.
We note that Portland people
are plugging to hold a Rain Festi

bounty of that slightly moist Ore

Back in 1924, Democratic prest-l
dential prospects looked bright be
fore convention time. The incum
bent Republican administration
was shot through with scandal. Its
brief bold on the country seemed
. to be slipping.
Yet the GOP won the election
in a landslide. Undoubtedly many
things accounted for this outcome,
but not the least was the fact that
the Democrats engaged In a bitter
factional fight which frittered away
their strength and alienated count
less voters.
The battle came to a head in
the Democratic convention at Mad
ison Square Garden. The Delegates
struggled through 104 ballots be
fore they finally agreed on a com
promise candidate, John W. Davis.
When it was ended, the party was
exhausted and so were its
chances of election. :
Except that the parties are re
versed, there is a certain parallel
at this stage between 1924 and
1952. This time it is a Democratic
administration that is scandal-ridden
and apparently held in low
public esteem. It is the Republi
cans whose chances, after 20 years,
look bright.
And yet it Is the Republicans,
too, who face the kind of factional
strife that helped lick the Demo
crats of 1924.
Of course, there is nothing new
about the cleavage between the
conservative and liberal wings of
the GOP. Like the division between
northern and southern Democrats,
Congress Debates Knotty
Problem
By ARTHUR EDSON
f r OR Hal Boyle)
WASHINGTON Wl Three con.
CTessmen have been warmly de
bating the question: "Should Con
gress be put on television?" Typ
ically, they have come up with
three answers: Yes. No. Yes-and-
no.
The debate, prepared for a mag
azine put out by the Academy of
Radio and Television Arts and Sci
ences, appears in the "Congres
sional Record."
'. You, too, may have wondered
why it's not possible to see Con
gress In action (I use the word
loosely), so let's have a look at
the arguments:
Yes, emphatically, says , Rep.
Javits (R-NY). His view:
"We are arbitrarily limiting the
scope of our democracy by not
televising ana broadcasting con
gressional sessions."
Even Javits won't go whole hog.
He would limit television to major
debate. This, he said, would brine
enough additional information to
me people to make for better gov
ernment. No, emphatically, says Senator
Gillette (D-Iowa).
"Congress is a deliberative and
legislative body," Gillette said. "It
is not a theater, a music hall or
a sports arena."
He thinks television would be a
distraction, and that Congress
should stick to deliberating and
legislating. -
Yes, and no, says Senator Wiley
R-Wis)i
Wiley gets off to this glorious
start:
"Congress, at least in some re
spects, provides perfect material
for TV.
"The Senate and House have
more drama than the most superb
television playhouse, more news
worthiness than the most up-to-the-minute
video television news
reel, occasional humor to provide
light-minded onlookers, variety of
subject matter to outmatch the
finest variety show."
I don't believe this Is quite the
way I would describe Congress.
And after getting his breath back,
Wiley seems to shy away from it,
too.
He would like to see Joint ses
sions of Congress televised, as they
are now, and Important hearings,
s they sometimes are now.
But Wiley foresees numerous dif
ficulties In televising actual House
and Senate debates. He faces one
problem with admirable frank
ness. "In the Senate," he said, "it

Crickets have reappeared in our

We knew that Sam Neslin was
in Portland before ever reading
it in the city briefs. We knew it

him from guggle to latch. Now

it is continuously evident in Con
gress and in the country at large
in presidential years.
Nevertheless, the combat be
tween these two GOP wings prom
ises to be sharper this year than
ever. The conservative forces be
hind Senator Taft believe this is
their hour, and they are going all
out to prove it. They declare the
liberal faction has had its chances
to capture its presidency and
failed.
The liberal group doesn't see It
that way. They believe that in Gen
eral Eisenhower they have a can
aidate who can win and who has
the markings of a fine president.
In Senator Lodge's words, they are
in the fight to the finish.
Such competition is healthful; It
is the essence of America. But the
leaders on both sides of this bat
tle should take note of history. A
party which consumes itself in fac
tional bitterness invites grave
risks.
As was demonstrated in 1924, it
may have no strength left for a
vigorous post convention cam
paign. And by Indulging In the ex
tremes of acrimony it may turn
away millions of Its potential sup
porters. The upshot could be to
rub the fine sheen off its current
presidential prospects and virtual
ly hand the election to the oppo
sition. This danger lies ahead for : the
Republican Party. How it meets it

will watch with keen interes.

would be difficult, if not Impos
sible, to force a limitation on de

And indeed it would.
Since I don't own a television
set, I can be neutral on this.
Some of the finest most excit
ing moments I ever have had
have come while watching Con
gress. But the average, routine ses
sion offers few lures for the tele
vision watcher wanting a quick
A look at an average Senate day
might be helpful.
On this average day the main
items were (A) the Introduction of
a universal military training bill,
and (B a discussion of a proposal
for home rule for the voteless citi
zens of Washington.
As usual, the senators wandered
all over the conventional lot.
The talk covered everything from
the development of Kentucky's Big
Sandy P.iver "including the levies
and tug fork thereof," to the Japa

trade, to an Investigation of the
from Tllford O. Thompson of Hat-ton.-

er (R-ND): How can a farmer sell
eggs for 25 cents a dozen when

four hours and 46 minutes.
By Wiley's standards, the Sen
ate came with only a ' 50-50 rat

ready to brace Itself for a deadly
broadside from Hollywood when
Fox gets around to releasing its
new Clifton - Webb-Ginger Rogers
co-starrer, "Dream Boat."
It's the story of a staid college
professor, Clifton Webb, who was
a Hollywood movie king in silent
pictures. A perfume company spon
sors his old films on TV and uses
former co-star. Ginger as commen
tator. The blasts against TV begin
when, the professor appeals to the
New : York Supreme Court to re
strain the television industry from
showing his old pictures, charging
Invasion of his rights of privacy.
' When the attorney for the de
fense accuses him of trying to- de
stroy television, the professor
says:
"Any intellignet person who has
watched it (television) knows that
It is trying to destroy itself."
The irate professor then brings
a set Into the courtroom and shows
the Judge the spiels of used-car
salesmen and nightmarish com
mercials. The film ends with the court or
dering that the professor's films
be withheld permanently from TV
showings, to the consternation of
the TV Industry.
Yes, kiddies, it's a declaration
of war.
