\ To Win...orlose...in November

HE clamor for Cale Holder to resign as Indiana Republican State chairman comes almost entirely from one man—who wants to run the party himself. It began long before the Republican State Convention. It has been stepped up sharply since the Republican National Convention. It does not in any sense represent the sentiment of the Republican Party in this state. By every test there has been the Republican Party of Indiana has confidence in the Holder leadership and wants to keep him in ‘that office. That was clear from the primary elections, from the county conventions, from the choice of district chairman, and from the overwhelming action of the state convention itself. When a clandestine meeting of the 22 district chairmen’ and vice-chairmen to force him out was called here three weeks ago only five of the 22 could be induced to show up at all—and only three of those were willing to go along with the scheme.

He has earned that confidence. Under his leadership

. the party has come back from its low ebb in 1948 to a posi-

tien of commanding strength in Indiana, with two Republiean U. 8. Senators, nine Republican representatives out of 11 in the House, most of the state officers elected since 1948, and control of a majority of the city and county governments of the state.

= » » = ” »

IT WILL NEED that strength desperately next November. The Republican Party of Indiana today faces the most serious danger of sweeping defeat in 16 years. It can lose not only its national ticket, but its state and local tickets as well—including one U. S. Senator and its House majority. Its one hope of winning this fall lies in a hard-fighting, united party organization, that can work together in the common cause. There is no other organization than the one that now exists. Those who talk of scrapping it now and building a new one in time to be effective three months from now are simply deluding themselves. There isn't time.

THEY WORRIED ABOUT TAFT

uropeans Consider Our Election Over

FRANKFURT, July 17—For most Europeans, the American presidential election is all over. Those who worried at all about it worried lest Sen. Robert A, Taft be the next President. Rightly or wrongly, Sen. Taft's reputation in Europe is that of an “Asia-firster” and a man with isolationist tendencies. Now that Mr. Taft has been eliminated, much partisan feeling in Europe is gone too. Europeans assume now that there will be no basic change in American’ foreign policy, whether Gen. Dwight Eisenhower or a Democrat is elected. They tend to ignore some things Ike has said about cutting the American budget, and cutting foreign aid spending. They think only of his commitment to the defense of Europe. Between now and November, there may be some shift. in Européan opinion, which has grown to look upon the Democratic Party under Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Truman as its friend, and the Republican Party as its enemy.

LABOR . . . By Fred W. Perkins Unions Peeved At Wage Board

WASHINGTON, July 17—Organized labor is getting ready to pull out of the Wage Stabilization Board again. The first time was in early 1951, when the AFI. and CIO chiefs objected to a “wage freeze” formula adopted by the board. The two big ldbor groups withdrew from participation in all defense agencies, and did not return until several months later, when President Truman set ‘up a néw board with broadened powers. The | imminent withdrawal is in protest against Congress for creating—under the new Defense Production Act—a new board minus the powers Mr. Truman gave the second board. The CIO's top officers will meet in Chicago

Friday to decide their action. A CIO spokesman “said today a walk-out resolution is already pre-

pared and he thought it was “very likely” to be adopted.

Will Hold Session

THE AFL executive council will meet. in special session here July 28 for the same business. “I think we’ll pull out,” an AFL leader said today. “We see no use continuing with a wage board that will be not much more than a bookkeeping agency. Congress would have done better to scrap the whole thing.” The present board will expire July 30. The new board will have equal representation from the public, management and labor—the exact number of members up to the President. All members must be confirmed by the Senate, a new feature. The next official step is for the White House to nominate the new board members. His choices could not be passed on by ‘the Senate until the next session of Congress. But in view of the probable labor boycott, Mr. Truman may decide it is useless to name any members.

Still Processing

THE WAGE BOARD is still processing wage cases through its machinery, but it is at a stand-

Indiana this year is to tear up now the one organization that could win victory. The one chance of winning—for Eisenhower, and for Jenner and for Craig and for all the congressional and local and state candidates—is in uniting all the Republican forces to work together.

» » » ” » »

WE BELIEVE that can be done. We know, of course, that the overwhelming majority of organized Republicans of Indiana preferred Taft for President . . . and lost. We know, too, that they have swallowed defeats like that before and gone down the line for candidates who were not their first choice but who still were nearer to their own convictions than those offered by the Democrats. As they did only four years ago, in fact. Those who still prefer Taft to Eisenhower certainly prefer Eisenhower to a Harriman or a Kefauver or a Barkley. And even those who might not, still have their Senate seat, their Representatives, and their whole share of influence on national affairs riding on this election. Both parties to this Indiana dispute have everything to gain by working together for the next 90 days—and everything to lose if they don't work together. This is definitely a time for an olive branch—and not for a blackjack. The campaign against Cale Holder points up sharply the heedless and insistent demand that the Republican Party of Indiana be handed over to a tiny minority—even if it is wrecked in the process, and the candidate its national convention has nominated loses the state because of it. : We can well appreciate how sickened he must be at the threats and the pressures and the ruthless disregard for majority wishes that this attack on him—and on the whole Republican Party in this state—have revealed. We hope though, that he will reconsider his decision to resign—and continue to serve his party ably and competently through this campaign in spite of them.

The party never needed him more.

The Democrats Take Over

The DEMOCRATS wasted no time in demonstrating that Republicans have no monopoly on acrimony and personal vendettas. Although their convention will not open until Monday, a bribe charge has been hurled and denied. With that kind of a beginning, Chicago should not have to depend upon the weatherman for rising temperatures. Gael Sullivan, Sen. Kefauver’'s campaign manager, charges that an unidentified backer of Sen. Kerr tried to bribe certain California delegates to switch their votes to the Oklahoma Senator after the first ballot. The “bait” offered, it is alleged, was eight round-trip tickets to Chicago on the Kefauver special train costing more than §1700. Mr. Sullivan emphasized that he was not accusing Sen. Kerr himself of any wrongdoing.

~ ” . r = = ~

SEN. KERR was not disposed to be that charitable, however, regarding Mr. Sullivan. The Oklahoma Senator denied thdt he or anyone connected with him made any bribe attempt. Then he went on to accuse Sen. Kefauver and his manager of resorting to alibis because they “realize they are slipping and face certain defeat.” The Sullivan statement, he declared, had “all the earmarks of a smear.” All of which makes some of the snide remarks David 8. Ingalls, ‘Sen. Taft's manager, made about Gov. Thomas E. Dewey seem spiritless and insipid. With Oklahoma and Tennessee shooting from the hip at this stage of the proceedings, what must we expect when Texas, Kentucky and Georgia swing into action?

still so far as making new policies is concerned. Many of the present members, it is reported, desire to return to private life. Among those with that announced intention is Chairman Nathan P. Feinsinger, who hopes to leave by the end of this month. Under the new law, the board will become merely an advisory agency to the economic stabilizer on wage policies. Its authority to settle disputes or recommend settlements in noneconomic matters, and probably in wage or money matters as well, will be gone. The board's recommendations in the steel wage case, including the “union shop” question, brought on the storm of criticism resulting in its wreckage.

Already some important European newspapers are reminding readers an Eisenhower landslide also will place what Europe considers isolationists into powerful positions in Congress. Likewise they are reminding that Ike must be friends with the Taft faction. It will be hard for Europeans to lose sympathy for Ike, who has captured a big place in their hearts, whoBver the Democratic nominee is. None of the Democratic aspirants is known to the mass of Europeans. Averell Harriman is known on the official level, but was considered aloof and the cold-fish type until bitten by the presidential bug.

“Who is Adlai Stevenson?” is a typical question in Europe. . » Sen, Kefauver is considered an eccentric who wears funny hats. Most of the rest might as well be named Smith or Jones. The Times of London long has warned Britishers enthusiastic about Ike of other results which would follow a Republican victory. - After domination, the Times warned that if Ike wins, the candidate like Ike probably would sweep.

Cowboy Quinn Set to Ride Herd On Roving Democratic Delegates

CHICAGO, July 17—Jimmy Quinn, the only big-city cowboy in the world, momentarily is back chasing steers at the stockyards instead of politicians, and this seems to be the lull between oratorical tornadoes. The shopkeepers on Michigan Blvd. are replacing ceramic elephants in their windows with plaster donkeys. The Pepsi-Cola and the CocaCola companies are. rushing in new supplies for a continuation of their contest to see which firm can give away free the most soda pop to the most politicos. The gigantic portrait of Abraham Lincoln, which television audiences spent so much time viewing last week, is gone from the cow palace serving both parties as convention headquarters, and Thomas Jefferson is being unfurled. Sen. Dick Russell, the Democratic candidate from the Deep South, seems to have fallen into a bit of luck. He's moved into the campaign headquarters vacated by Sen. Robert A. Taft in the Conrad Hilton Hotel. This is a suite completely equipped for politicians, including plenty of towels for crying purposes. All Sen. Dick had to do was order his minions to search the place carefully for old Taft buttons, ribbons, banners and literature and burn them quickly before they contaminated the pure, Democratic atmosphere.

On Job for 40 Years

COWBOY QUINN is breathing easier. As he says, cows are a good deal easier to herd than people; somehow they seem to have more sense. He's a grizzled old duffer in high-heel boots and Levis, whose job for 40 years—except during political conventions — has been to patrol the stockyard environs on his beautiful palomino horse, looking for steers on the loose. When one of these beasts escapes the pens, as frequently happens, and starts charging into the saloons, cigar stores and Wild West haber-

WASHINGTON, July 17 — Reprisal against Russia and a reminder to the Allies, rather than fear oi the propaganda, on Soviet embassy Publications here, Despite many congressional and public protests over along period against the Red em-

mation Bulletin, its propaganda has been a flop. It was not only obvious but also very dull, The ‘proof was its small circulation. Though our gove ernment never could get an accurate figure, apparently the total issue was under 12.000 — mostly free copies sent to lie braries or to individuals who had not requested it. Various tests were made in which a person would order a year's subscription and ask to be billed for it, but never get a bill,

” ~ . THE REASON Stalin was 5 pérmitted to continue sending out this official propaganda here was to keep the privilege of the U.S. embassy in Moscow to circulate its picture magazine, “Amerika.” Under a ‘1946 agreement, we were allowed to- distribute 50,000 jes ro roughout. the Soviet

dashery stores on Halstead St., Mr. Quinn galops down the cobblestones, dodging trolleys and taxis, and lassos him. Shortly before the Re-

' publicans arrived, Jimmy thought he'd caught

his last steer. ;

That durn cow was a whopper and mad. It dragged horse and Jimmy into a culvert, which was too little for ’em, and in the melee the Chicago cowboy thought he was a goner. He eventually escaped in one piece. While the politicians are here, his job is to sit on his horse behind the Stockyards Inn and see that they don’t wander off among the cattle. This panorama itself gives you a jolt.

For one thing, the inn, itself, is an exact rep-

lica in Elizabethan architecture of the Harvard .

House, an old hangout of Shakespeare at Stratford on Avon. And there in the midst of this British loveliness is old man Quinn on his horse, trying to keep the politicians separated from the animals.

A Fine Eating Place

AND I think maybe I'd better tell you about the restatirant in this fantastic hotel for cattlemen, called the Sirloin Room and known as one of the finest eating places in America. When the Republicans cleared out and a fellow once again could hear himself think, I strolled in for a steak, Picked it out from a display of porterhouses, sirloins and fillets on a flower-banked table. Then I took from a flaming brazier a red-hot branding iron and seared my initials on this chunk of meat. The idea was, if it turned out tough, I'd- have nobody to blame but myself. The regular patrons of the Sirloin Room are supposed to know more about meat than any mere chef in anybody’s kitchen. Mine was OK steak. I mean I rapidly am regaining my strength and when those Democrats get here in force, I'll be ready for 'em. So will cowboy Quinn, though he dreads the very thought.

‘Dangerous Hoosiers’

MR. EDITOR:

Since the reputation for hospitality of our state is well known and well deserved, I am sure you will be glad to give space to anything which will contribute to the safety and peace of mind of visitors to our city. Upon arrival, the visitor is likely to be alarmed at the discovery that our driving habits apparently form no reasonable pattern whatever. Our drivers belong to the species of life known as “Hoosier.” The Hoosier suffers from hypertrophy of the thalamus, and the cortex is rudimentary and in many cases missing altogether. As a consequence, his “thinking” consists of a simple stimulus-résponse pattern, and his education consists of the installation of conditioned reflexes. The Hoosier behind the wheel knows only two states of motion. -A full stop, and a set speed. When stopped, it is difficult to get him . in motion, and when in motion, it is virtually impossible to stop him. As for the set speed, our drivers can be divided into twp groups: The slow Hoosier, whose set speed is approximately 15 miles per hour, and the fast Hoosier, who prefers to travel at about 70. Both groups spend as little time as possible at any other than=their set speed—except for the limitations of the machine, they would start and stop instantaneously. A motionless Hoosier can be started only by a loud blast of the horn. There is a theory that the Hoosier will stop for a red light, but so many cases have been

observed where he stopped for a green light -

and moved for a red one, that this theory can’t be depended upon. Only one circumstance will induce a Hoosier to depart from his set speed. This circumstance occurs when you try to pass one of the slow Hoosiers on the road. The appearance of ane other car to his left rear induces a convulsive extension of his right leg which. pushes the accelerator to the floor. Immediately follows ing, a hysterical paralysis sets in which prevents him from releasing this pressure as long as the stimulus persists. The driver proceeds at random through the streets, moving away from the sound of every horn, and stopping or turning whenever he comes very near or in contact with a rigid object. The profusion of signs and flashing lights serves the essential purpose of maximizing the random nature of his progress. Sooner or Jater he happens to stop at his home. The heady thrill of danger involved in this form of progress seems to be habit forming, so that although some other form of transpor“tation might be much safer, and as a matter of fact, often takes less time and effort, the Hoosier cannot break free from his automobile. This driving pattern decreases the Hoosiers life expectancy quite a bit, but since apparently he cannot feel pain, this cannot be taken as a disadvantage. —Howard Martin, 9002 Hibben St.

‘The Repulliom Party’ MR. EDITOR: »

The Repulliam Party having met in state and national conventions to adopt platforms and nominate candidates, it becomes the duty of all of us to find out just where this party stands before casting our Vote. To do this, we must look through the ‘haze of propaganda, the tear-stained editorials sobbing of the other side’s steamroller, the glitter of convention hoopla, and its occasional fist fights, to the principles in the platforms and the ideas of the candidates. We find that the Repulliam Party could hardly have adopted state and national platforms more opposed to each qther. The national platform is as internationalist in nature as the Repulliam candidate for governor of Indiana. The state platform is as isolationist as Bill Jen« ner, the tub-thumping Repulliam running again for the U.S. Senate. All of which leaves us voters confused. We had thought that since ¢the Repulliams were against everything the Democrats had done, they'd nominate a man who felt the same way, But Bob Taft was beaten- ~which brings. us to the-eriginal question: “Where does the Repulliam Party stand?” —Judson F.

BUT ALMOST any factual statement or photograph from the U. 8. is dynamite in Russia, It automatically proves Stalin a liar, According to the constant propaganda of the Soviet press and radio, the U, 8. is a backs ward country with lower living standards than Russia, retarded in science and swarms ing with jobless masses. Stalin cut the sale of Amerika so low it was no longer worth our effort. So the State Department has killed its own magazine and, in retaliation, has banned the Soviet sheet here.
