A case in point . was the useless remarks which the ' i New Hampshire senator made ; I about Indiana and the junior I Hoosier senator did not let the Easterner gel by with it. People ' here In Indiana know there is a j two percent club, which Is devoted to politics and the average fair minded person admits that such organisations exist under either party. Minton is frank In his remarks and has u way of saylug things which sends the point home. New Orleans's new»pa|iers. tb<- 1 1 New Orleans States and the Times- | Picayune are credited with mak- , Ing the expose which brought the • collapse of the political machine > in that state, including the resignation of Governor Leche and Dr. Smith, head of the slate university.

Publicity is generally a ’ sure cure for graft. I UNSCHEDULED THRILLER: Something of American charact- , er was revealed in the serio-comic situation which developed at the I .New York World's Fair when a ! | couple was held prisoner live hour*, j dangling in a jammed parachute. Since the two patrons ot the dej vice were tn no danger, thousands , , of fair patrons remained long after ' normal closing hours lo witness I rescue attempt, lo offer the usual bit of advice and to shout aloft s the typical variety of crowd wisecracks. The Incident became frontpage nears throughout the country. Many foreigners almost have forgotten how to laugh. Life under the dic tatorship*, especially, is a serious business. The Individual ■ is supposed to be so intent on promoting the welfare of the state that any evidence of levity might tn- interpreted a* a lack of sincerity and loyalty. Life Is a sober I matter and frivolity, except for polite guffaws at the official jokes ' > <>f Herr Goebbels. is not conducive I to the welfare of the state, Amerkans are fortunate in hav- ■ mg a sense of humor that goes far i • to keep public opinion on an even i keel *nd to deflate those who attempt to assume ati air of superj lorlty. The fair throng thji.t recelvI ed a free show not on the program I represented to some extent all i those who flock to witness the an-1 J usual. The hapless victims, sua- i ts-nded la# feet In the air, were | piihllclred type* of all the people , who have been "stuck'' at the top I swing ot Ferris wheels, in elevat- . or*, subways nd elsewhere, or who j even may have become fouled in ; a balky ripper The usual victim* of such mischance seldom relish the opportunity ot providing amusement and entertainment for a throng of spectator*, although they still have sufficient sense <»f humor to realise the ludicrous aspect of their predicament. The fair's parachute victim, were prominent socialites, who probably will be reminded of i j the Incident many times. The public soon will forget, but those on | the ground and the million* who I pictured the mishap through newspaper columns had their moment • of diversion from war threat* aud summer doldrums. — Indianapolis , Htar.

STATE G. 0. P. 1 HEADSTOMEET Republican State (. om- < mittee Td Meet; Warn Os Factions Indianapolis. July U-— Republican state committee will ’ meet here next Monday al the - call of state chairman Arch N. Bobbill to discuss a suggestion by i the Republican Editorial Association for a state-wide meeting in I September and lo formulate plane for the 1960 campaign Another proposal to be discussed I* that of the national Republt-1 can program committee tor open forum meetings starting In the fall lo stimulate activity among Republican party workers and voters. At these meetings public questions of the moment would be discussed. Bobbitt also made public a letter from Harry Hogan of Fort Wayne. * member of the national program committee, which urged early campaign activity by the party in addition to warning against factional disputes in the party leadership. There have been report* that factional disputes ■till exist on the state committee and at the first opportunity there might be an upheaval. Hogan sited the activity of Fred F. Bays, the new Democratic state chairman, and also the widespread interest In the Democratic party maneuvers due to the presidential campaign of former Gov. Paul V. McNutt. He observed that the Re-: publicans "will have to And other formulas to counteract the attrac- , tlve program of the opposition." "Naturally.’’ Hogan said, "any Republican program evolved should not include any pre-primary orsanitation changes or contests un- 1 le** wholly localised. Aid and com- ( fort should not be given the enemy by deflecting the minds of the voters from the real issues, nor should the belief that the Republican. party is an instrumentality of: econosnk and political salvation j be shaken by other organisation c out roversy. "To make further changes at any 1 time between now and after the coming primary will serve as a future admission of party ineptlies*. I have no brief for the present heads of the party, but I have i' presumed an interest in some of the rank and tile Americans who i want the Republican party to J measure up to perhaps the sever- ■ ...*!» itiai has confronted this
