Nations' appeal for a cease-fire order, issued Sunday, was not accorded even the courtesy of a reply by the Red invaders.

For organized labor the commitments are a little more : positive. The convention proposes to “liberalize” state unemployment compensation. In the last séssion of the legislature that meant state pay for workers out on strike. It ‘plumps for a state “wage and hour law.” In the last session of the legislature that included jail sentences for the em_ployer who “permitted” an employe to work overtime without extra pay, even if he didn’ t know the employee was "working. The last legislature “defeated both of then. Neither is spelled out in detail this time .\.. any more than they were in 1948 platforms.

New York GOP To Pick Hanley

Acute Politician to Get Nomination for Governor

WASHINGTON, June 28—New York State Republicans are getting set to nominate as their v<andidate to succeed Gov. Thomas E. Dewey a 74-year-old campaigner who, his friends say, has the political acumen of a Franklin D. Roose velit and the silver tongue of a William Jennings Bryan. Despite his age, Jo¢ R. Hanley, the present Heutenant governor, has campaigned for the

number one spot for months—on the chance °

that Mr, Dewey would decide not to run. The gamble paid off when Gov, Dewey announced recently that he would not seek another term. Joe Hanley was an evangelist before he decided to enter politics 24 years ago. It was on the strength of his oratory that he was picked to run for the legislature from an upstate coun-

ty while still serving 4 as a Presbyterian minister :

in Perry, N. Y. Widely known as an advocate of unity among churches, particularly in rural areas where it was difficult for separate denominations to support ministers of their own, he often told a story to illustrate his point.

Any Stars?

THREE Protestant | groups, he would relate;

to band together in a “union” service. When the time came to sing the first hymn, the Presbyterians, sitting in a body in their own section of church, lifted up their volées in the old revival favorite * Stars In My Crown?” The Methodists, in another corner, began to sing, “No, Not One, No, Not One.”

Whereupon the Baptists chimed in, “And

That Will Be Glory For Me!” Mr. Hanley served in the lower house of the legislature for four years and then went to the senate,

‘Will There Be Any —

“Invariably there is a tug of war between

upstate Republicans and those from the New York City area. After eight years in the senate, Mr. Hanley decided his section had been ignored too long in the choosing of legislative leaders, 80 he formed ‘a. coalition of upstate senators who insisted that Ong of their number be picked {or majority leader: They won-—and Joe Hanley got the job.

Wins Special Election

IN 1043, on the death of the lieutenant gov ernor, Mr. Hanley was nominated by the Republicans to succeed him. He defeated his Democrat-American Labor Party opponent by more than 360,000 votes in a special election to fill the vacancy. ? He has been a member of the “Dewey team” since Mr. Dewey became governor, but occa#wonally has challenged his chief's decisions. The nearest they came to an open break occurred during the 1946 and 1947 legislative sessions. _ Mr, Hanley, his friends learned, was hurt when Mr. dropped him from his Hst of legislators invited to take part in weekly policy conferences. This nearly I&i to an open rift

n between the two the following year.

At {ssue was a bill favored by the governor, which prohibited strikes by public employees. Mr, Hanley, who was for the measure in prin ciple, did’ not want to go as far as Mr. Dewey y put “teeth” In the bill. This beneath- thesurface conflict finally was patched up.

lowa

MR. HANLEY was born in Davenport, Iowa. He practiced law there for three years before becoming a traveling lecturer and eventually an evangelist. He moved to New York State in 1924 as the result of a revival campaign. After conducting special services in the Perry, N. Y,, Presbyterian church for two weeks, he was invited to accept its pastorate, He did so. A veteran of two wars, the present lieutenant governor. is a former state and national commander of the United Spanish War Veterans; He also is a 32d degree Mason and an active Rotarian, His health is good for his age, according to intimates, though he suffered the loss of his right eye in 1048 when its removal became necessary due to acute glaucoma following Jan attack of pneumonia.

That - the re-arming of Germany deserves consideration; but has Germsny ever really been finarmed? Couldn't it be that the rest of the world has been disarmed?

Soviet Embassy Not Talking War

WASHINGTON, June 28 —— Nobody. at the Soviet embassy here is talking about the war in Korea, but their attitude is that of the North Korean government —— to wit, that the South Koreans started it all, At least, that is the impression gained from a brief and not-too-satisfactory conversation with ‘the embassy’'s press attache, Alexander I. Zin‘chuk. The talk took place in a reception room of the embassy, a big stone building, only four blocks from the White House. I was met at the door by a kind of combination butler and watchman, a little man with

head and sober countenance who seemed to think I'd come to the wrong place by mistake.

“You want the Soviet embassy?” he asked, incredulity mounting with every syllable I fold him I did and asked for the press attache.

Told Again to Wait

HE WAVED me into a small reception room, closed the door and departed. After about 10 minutes, a second man-—short but with the build of a wrestler—appeared. I showed him my White House press eard and asked again for Mr. Zinchuk. Again I was told to wait. ; _ Finally, Mr, Zinchuk appeared, a kind of self-

cbnscious, apologetic smile on his face, ‘and shook hands with me. We had met several times previpusly at diplomatic receptions where we had enjoyed amiable arguments over why Russia and America ¢ouldn’t get together.

THE opposition has come from internationally { minded Republicans such as Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts.

“No comment,” he added. “Nothing.”

He grinned to keep everything friendly. I said that was too bad, but how about discussing it, anyway. For instance, was the embassy surpeised when it heard about the attack?

“that same old line when he says: “In our generation the advanced ideas of Franklin D. Roosevelt are constantly being assailed.” And then he goes on to say: “Today we have a greater prosperity than we ever knew,” which he might have gdded’ la cold war prosperity. Incidentally, that’ was the same song the Republicans sang when Coolidge was president. The facts are we never had a depression that lasted over four and a half years until Rooseveit came into- power. The one which started

- under Hoover in 1929 lasted under Roosevelt +

“until 1940 and was only cured when ‘Roosevelt i started taking us into war.

In all previous depressions we came through and had a much stronger economy than before and without going to war either. Roosevelt spent more money in the first eight years than all other administrations had _ spent in-the previous 150 years of our existence, and the reason he could not cure the depression without war was because he tried to solve it by politics instead of economics. .

Roosevelt's system was but little different from the system of Hitler and Mussolini. He is directly responsible for our troubles with Russia today which will, no doubt, take us into another war. Neither did he help bring freedom to the world. Actually, he is directly responsible for much of the slavery that exists today because he gave half of the world to Stalin at Yalta.

The seizure of private eivil rights and remedies with police power can never be considered or approved by Congress under our Constitution.
