This is Aunl Susans birthday.
Aunt Susan? you say, Susan
Brownell Anthony, to be explicit,
Auffragelte, born In South Adams,
Mass.. Feb. IS, 1830.
On this 131st anniversary of Su
san B. Anthony's birth her "Spirit
ual offspring," members of the
National Federation of Business
and Professional Women Clubs,
re at work to raise $10,000
amongst them for a Susan B. An
thony Memorial Fund.
The fund is to purchase a bust
of Miss Anthony and a bronze tab
let to honor her election to the
Kail of Fame. Of the 83 members
cf the Hall of Fame, only seven
are women.
Aunt Susan was a crusader In
he drive that gave American
women the rights to become edu
cated, to be gainfully employed
outside the home, to vote, to hold
office, to collect their own wages.
to hgve a voice in determining
their children's education.
If you think that the "weaker
sex" he gotten a little too strong
by now and that the little wom
an's place Is in the home, then
today is the time to give forth
with a big raspberry for Aunt Su
san. If you believe in this emancipa
tion of women, then today is the
day to honor Susan B. Anthony.

(EDITOR'S Note: Thia is the
third of four stories en the vot
ers' struggle to pick a President.)
WASHINGTON Ut Once more
be professional politicians at the
Republican and Democratic na
tional conventions in Chicago this
summer will pick the two presi
dential candidates lor the rest of
us to choose between, whether we
like them or not.
The people doing the picking for
us will be the l.aou or so delegates
at each convention, some earnest,
some with very sharp personal ax
es to grind, and the bosses pulling
the strings. But who picks these
Delegates who have such power
over us and the future?
In 32 states the delegates are
chosen by party machines and
bosses In state conventions or state
committees.
In 16 states there are direct pri
maries, called Presidential Primar
ies, where citizens can elect dele
candidates to be cho&en later at
the party conventions.
Ho two primaries are alike, thus
making this President Primary
system one of the most confused
and glorious messes in American
politics.
In some of these primaries citi
zens vote their presidential pref
erences while at the same time
voting for convention delegates
whose intentions they do not know.
In only six of the 16 must dele
gates pledge themselves to vote
lor certain candidates.
Still, these primaries can be use
ful sometimes by showing how the
voters are thinking.
For example, in the New Hamp
shire primary March 11 Repub
licans can express a preference
among Gen. Eisenhower. Sen. Taft
and Harold Stassen while Demo
crats do the same betwee Presi
dent Truman and Sen. Kefauver.
A candidate who takes a bad
shellacking in these primaries
might seem, even to a boss-ridden
convention, a hopeless prospect.
It's been pointed out that etas
sen's star began to fade after Gov.
Dewey beat him in the 1948 Oregon
primary although I'd suspect the
Dewey people were Just a lot
shrewder than the Stassenites in
rounding up votes when the show
down came in the convention later.
The primary results aren't nec
essarily conclusive because the
conventions as a whole can suit
themselves about the candidate
they pick. The conventions meet
alter all the primaries are over.
A lot of people have been dis
satisfied for a long time with the
fact that the people in all 48 states
can' express a preference on pres
idential candidates or elect dele
gates who'll carry out their de
sires and the fact that he present
primary sysem in the 16 states
is a sloppy mess.
In Congress recenly two efforts
have been made to do something
about it. by Sen. Smathers, D-Fla.,
and Sen. Douglas, D.-Ill., and oth
ers who go along with Douglas.
Smathers, whose father, Judge
Frank Smathers, worked on the
same idea with Woodrow Wilson
40 years ago, proposes this:
The nomination of candidates In
political conventions would be abol
ished. In June of an election year the
voters In all 4 states would pick
the candidates.
In the general election later in
November, after months of cam
paigning by the two candidates,
the voters could elect one of them
President, To the conventions
would be left only the Job of draw.

One of the cries for woman suf

On such pertinent matters as

stance, the gals seem to be as
divided as the men.
And we note, on this subject,
that Norman Thomas, who used
to run for president every year
as a socialist, is against UMT.
One of his arguments is that
UMT would be a spur to militar
ism. We agree but disagree.
It certainly would c-e a spur io
militarism, to American militar
ism, but that's the main valid rea
son for it. not against it.
If you agree that we are at war
and that we will De lor a long

ure of militarism.
But don't forget that UMT will
cost you plenty of tax dollars. A
valid argument against it is that
America has won its wars be
cause It was economically free and
solvent without such militarism,

But Smathers' plan requires a
constitutional amendment, which
takes a long time, too long to be
turned into a reality this year. So
it can have no effect on the 1952
elections, even if Congress got be
hind it now. There's no Indication
it will.
Because his plan is for the future.
Smathers Joined Douglas and some
other senators. Democratic and
Republican, in suggesting that Con
gress act at once to pass a law
to do this:
Let the attorney general try to
arrange with every state to have a
Presidential Preference Primary in
1932 before the summer conven
tionsso that more than Just the
people In the present 16 primary
states can express some preference
among tne candidates.
This is strictly a stop-gap meas
ure to widen the Presidential Pri
maries. Congress would have to act ex
tremely fast for Congress to put
this over. And there's no indication
it has any such intention.
Even if Congress made this idea
a law tomorrow, it's very unlikely
all 48 states would, or could, agree
this year.
Further, if the law was passed
and all 48 states held presidential
primaries, the kind of law proposed
by Douglas-Smathers and the rest
wouldn't have the gall to go con
trary to an overwhelming pref
erence. The Smathers' constitutional
amendment and the Douglas
Smathers stop-gap proposal are ex
pressions of hope that preferen
tial Primaries would be better than
the present method of nomination
by conventions.
In the end a national primary
might not be successful, particu
larly if the political bosses got their
paws in it, as they surely would
try to do.
But at least primaries would take
some power away from the poliical
big-wigs.

2 Republicans,
Seek Lowell
By HALE SCARBROl'GH
Two Republicans have announced
candidacies lor the Congressional
job being vacated py Lowell stock
man, but so far no Democratic
aspirant for the post has appeared.
Stockman. Republican from Pen
dleton, announced a couple of
weeks ago he wouldn't run again,
and Giles French. Moro County
newspaper publisher, put himself
lorwaro as a cand date for the
GOP nomination the same day.
Then last week an air force man.
1st Lt. Ernest Frederick Hinkle of
the Dalles, filed his candidacy for
the Republican nomination, assur
ing French some opposition in tne
primary.
GOP WALTZ
But if the Democrats don't get
a candidate out soon, the Republi
can primary victor will waltz In
unopposed at the general election.
That isn't likely to happen. Some
Democrat will get into the picture. 1
maybe more than one. The Demo
crats are too anxious to break up
the solid Republican Oregon Con
gressional delegation to let this
chance pass. There probably will
be an announcement next week.
The decision of Stockman not to
run again (he had served five
terms in the House of Representa
tives) was not entirely unexpected.
He was almost certain to have had
strong opposition within his own
party If he chose to run again.
He was Identified too often with
policies of the Truman administra
tion. He might have been beaten
TAMPA, Fla. (.TVThe American
Air Force Is training "four-headed
monsters" at its MacDill Field
Base here.
That is its term for crewmen of
the new 600-mile-an-hour B-47 let
bomber. They are the elite air
men of the present day.
A conventional B-29 bomber has
a crew of 11. The big new Jets .are
slightly larger than a B-29, have on
ly three crew members.
Each of them is a four-way spe
cialist, able to act as pilot, bom
bardier, radar operator or naviga
tor. In the entire country there
are fewer than 100 of these men.
It is the Job of bluff, 46-year old
Col. Mike McCoy to train more.
A veteran of 16,000 hours in the
air himself, he was the first officer
in his 306th Bombardment Wine to
be checked out in a B-47. a plane
he calls "the new star of the air
show."
The let bombers they fly at 40,-
000 feet, cost $3,500,000 each, and
are designed to replace the lumber
ing B-29 of World War Two fame
are coming slowly off the assem
bly lines. But it is easier to build
them than to train the men to fly
them.
It takes about 24 months to turn
out a combat ready crew," said
McCoy.
And tne students in ms pilot
school here aren't exactly school
boys.
Each must have at least 2.000
hours in the air to qualify as a
candidate. Most are veteran com
bat pilots of the last war.
Everybody in tne Air P'orcc
wants to get into the program,"
said the colonel. "But we have to
be exceptionally careful in picking
them, because of the time and
money spent In training them. We
can't afford any cowards."
The tledgllng Jet bomoer pilots
are a serious, hardlng-working lot.
None wants to flunk out of this
school. They have a gym, steam
bath, and massage rooms to keep
them In peak physical condition.
"The men come down pretty
tired after long flights at high al
titude," explained Col. McCoy.
"Sometimes they have trouble
sleeping.
"The steam baths and massages
help them relax and snap back to
normal so they can fly again the
next day. They have to keep in
shape."
Typical of the new Jet bomber
man is Maj. Ted Silva, who soon
will complete his training. The
major, who is 32, piloted a B17
on 68 combat missions In Europe.
Asked why he volunteered for the
jet bombers, he said:
"Because they're new. I suppose
the reason anybody goes into the
Air Force is because he likes to
do new things."

Of the two GOP candidates out
to onte, Giles French would appear
to have a long lead over his op
ponent. French Is very well known, both
for his often-Quoted writings in the
Sherman County Journal and his
nine sessions in the Oregon Legis
lature. In the Legislature he was
considered a top man urom one
point of view, at least) In such
tields as taxation and education,
but was high on the Oregon
Grange's 1951 "purge list" and on
organized labor's 11m of legislators
it would like to get rid of.
French is 57 years old. a cigar
smoking. Stetson-hatted East Ore
gonian. Hinkle Is 30 years old and mak
ing his debut in elective politics.
Right now he is stationed at Man
basset. Long Island. N. Y as an
Air Force Intelligence officer.
He Is due for discharge some
time next summer.
SALESMAN
Hinkle is a University of Oregon
graduate (1942) In business admin
istration, and a World War I vet
eran, and for about two years
prior to his being called for his
present military service was a
stock salesman at Portland.
The Oregon 2nd District includes
all the 18 counties east of the Cas
cadesone of the largest districts,
territorially, in the Congressional
makeup and is predominantly Re
publican. I went out with Ted on the field
to watch a few landings. Tnt
bombers are desperately precious
because there are so few, and they
are handled as If they were big
delicate glass eggs.
One after another they skimmed
down as gracefullv- as Bulls, for
all their bulk. Soon after they
touched ground, a tall chute shot
out. opened and slowed them to a
halt.
"The chutes save wear and tear
on the brakes and tires," Ted ex
plained. "Without them they might
burn out a set of tires in a single
landing. The pilot has to out that
chute In place himself before each
takeoff. If it doesn't work, he's to
blame." I
None of these highly skilled Jet j
pioneers who have survived one
war knows what the future holds.
But they are aware that even now
the B-47 would be mighty useful In
Korea, where the slower B-29s no
longer can make daylight missions
in the face of enemy Jet fighter

The question of allowing Greece

tedly has not stirred American
Imaginations, We favored the Idea
from the start, and have taken It
pretty much for granted.
But the Issue waa a touchy one
for the British, who held out many
months before finally endorsing
the plan.
They preferred Greece and Tur
key to be part of a Mldle East
Command, closely allied to NATO
but still distinct. The Scandlna
vans, who feared being dragged
Into a war on account of action
far from home, were even tough
er holdouts than the British. But
they too finally agreed.
This year the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee speedily and
unanimously approved the Oreece
Turkey entry, foreshadowing fav
orable action by the Senate Itself.
In the light of this, no one ex
pected the Senate vote to be any
thing but routine.
Yet. as It turned out, it was
Just a little too routine. The move
was taken by unanimous voice vote
which was fine. But only six sena
tors were on the floor at the time.
SHAMEFUL
And that is a pretty shameful
representation -under any circum

passible to suspect that our stout
