What Record, Mr. Jenner? » the record, I am the best vote getter in Indiana.” . Those are the modest words of Junior Senator William E. Jenner, We wonder what record. _ The official returns for 1944, when Mr. Jenner was running for-the short Senate term, do show him running in sec-
ond place behind Thomas E.. Dewey, the GOP presidential |
But the junior Senator must have been reading upside down when he looked at the 1946 returns. When you look at them right side up, Mr. Jenner is at the bottout of the fist

; What was done to Mr. Hoover was weighed heavily on the consciences of many Americans. One of these is Eugene Lyons, magazine editor and veteran foreign correspondent, who in the 1936 presidential campaign took some part in the spreading of -anti-Hoover propaganda. ..... For whatever he did then Mr, Lyons has stoned now by ‘writing a book—“Our Unknown Ex-President”—which was published today by Doubleday & Co. In it he has sought

try. It comes, foo, at a time when there are countless evidences of a growing new appreciation of “Our Unknown Ex-President,” a growing desire to know the facts that have been obscured by malicious myths. Many, indeed, will agree with Mr. Lyons’ conclusion: “Time is rapidly washing off the mud with which Herbert Hoover has been bespattered. The granite of integrity underneath is becoming obvious even to the less perceptive o his Sountsyuen. ”

To be sure, the vote was 5 to 4. Justice Douglas delivered the majority opinion, basing it on the free-speech
~ guarantee of the first amendment. Said he: “Loudspeakers
are today indispensable instruments of effective public
“speech. The sound truck has become an accepted method of
political campaigning. It is the way people are reached.” "Not always. We cannot help wondering how the de-

LAKE SUCCESS, N.

The Bernadottes pull their weight. They have contributed widely to diplomacy, science, writing, painting relief works and humanitarian missions. What Folke Bernadotte 1s trying to do today in Palestine fits exactly into the tradition of the founder of the Bernadotte dynasty, Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, one of.
