lke and Bob Team

HE LINES of the campaign have been drawn more ® clearly by Sen. Bob Taft's wholehearted indorsement of Gen. Eisenhower's candidacy, and by Sen. Wayne Morse’s announcement that he will sulk in his Oregon tent. Bob Taft's conduct before the convention, through it, and since, have been in character. . A man of principle and strong opinion, he fought hard for the nomination, suffered great personal disappointment when he lost, then bided his time until the ;campaign shaped up to where he could come forward and ! make his maximum contribution to his party and country. "The man who has so well earned the title of “Mr. Republican” is not one to be swayed by small disagreements or blasted personal hopes when he has an opportunity to fight for the larger issues of government. In his talk with Gen. Eisenhower, the Senator was _ reassured that they were in general agreement on important domestic issues and that on foreign issues their differences were “differences of degree.” “As 1 see it,” said the Senator, “there is and has been one great fundamental issue between the Republican Party and the New Deal, or Fair Deal, or Stevenson Deal. It is the issue of liberty against the creeping socialization in every domestic field. “Liberty was the foundation of our government, the reason for our growth, the basis of our happiness, and the - hope of our future. The greatest threat to our liberty today is internal, from the constant growth of big government... “The price of continued liberty, including the free eco-

: nomic system, is the reduction of federal spending and

"taxes, the repudiation of arbitrary powers in the executive . . . the protection of the people against any arbitrary excess of power which may be developed by big business

- or big labor or other pressure groups.”

Some of the Taft supporters have been acting as if

g more than the Senator's ; tement to rally them to the litical battle, they might try asking themselves if they nt to end up in the company of Sen. Wayne Morse. ~ Sen. Morse has been for years the White House's pet ® Republican Senator. He has voted with the New Deal and pir Deal much more often than with his own party. He was one of the first to urge Gen. Eisenhower’s

campaign on. If they need an

nomination; but now that-he-has found that-Tie-is-no-*Me-— “are pre

It Hits Us All : 'QOME PEOPLE ARGUE inflation is harmless, so long as there isn’t too much of it. They say it increases the dollar value of a man's property and that salaries have risen just as prices have. Some union members whose contracts contain an “escalator” clause seem to think inflation never can harm them, because every time the cost-of-living index rises their pay rises automatically. : The fact is inflation has harmed everyone except a few speculators. wo Everyone who has a life insurance policy has lost, because the dollars that policy will pay his survivors will not buy as much as when he bought it. Everyone paying social security taxes already has seen ,the value of his pension decrease. <3 And not even the “escalator” clause protects a man against higher taxes. Challenging the popular idea that we are “better off than ever,” Director Herbert J. Miller of the Tax Foundation recently told the Governmental Research Association

example, all the per capita usable income increase since 1939 actually occurred between 1939 and 1944—and that such facts as the great increase in private debt call for caution. Pointing to the huge national debt, he remarked that if a man borrows $1000 from a bank he hardly can conclude that he is $1000 better off than he was the day before. Yet that is just the kind of slap-happy reasoning behind the attitude that “a little inflation” is nothing to worry about.

The Glorious ROKs

ROUD, TOUGH and battle-tested, the South Korean army today holds its head high among the free world’s fighting men. In some of the fiercest battles of the war “Hast week -it wrote a new and brilliant chapter in the fight against Comniunist aggression. “#* Americans who saw the ROKs hold under murderous artillery fire speak glowingly today of their courage and “tenacity. The Chinese Communists undoubtedly accord “them the same respect, albeit grudgingly. Superbly confi“dent they could once again punch through the ‘“‘weak” “ROK-held line, the Reds were stopped cold and driven back in disorder. The significance of the - ROK victory is only now apparent. The enemy's plan for a new offensive had to be abandoned. The skeptics who blandly assured us the South Koreans couldn’t—or wouldn't—fight have been thoroughly

“discredited.

_ As a matter of fact, the gallant South Korean army never ‘has been sufficiently appreciated in this country. Armed only as a constabulary force, because we didn't’ want to “offend” the fast-arming North Koreans and their Russian sponsors, the ROKs bore the brunt of the Red invasion on June 25, 1950. ROK soldiers fought tanks with bamboo spears, artillery with carbines and machine guns. In a matter of hours, thousands of Korea's best officers and men were dead. Under ‘Gen. James Van Fleet and Brig. Gen. C. V. Ryan, head of the Korean military advisory group, the ROK army has been completely retrained and re-equipped. .... It is, however, to our everlasting shame that South Korea didn’t have this splendid army on June 25, 1950,

WACS...By Albert M. Colegrove

Keep a Keen Eye on Road

WASHINGTON—Once upon a time, there was a woman driver who paid attention to the

"traffic lights, made the proper signals instead

of playing left-handed charades, and never yak~ yaked with the other person in the car.

I know because I was the other person.

And when I asked if there were any more at home like her, she sald: ‘Yes, sir. Sixtythree more.”

She's a WAC. She lives in a barracks at Ft. Myer, Va.. and she earns her pay chauffeuring the Pentagon's Army brass,

One reason why the Pentagon's 64 WAC drivers shun the usual woman-like foibles when they are behind the wheel is the tough set of rules under which they work.

Take 21-year-old Cpl. Grace Bowen:

Grace used to run a mimeograph machine in Denver. Now she drives an Army car eight hours a day in tough city traffic.

Average 1250 Miles Monthly

SHE AND her fellow chauffeurs each average 1250 miles a month.

But—if Grace's auto smacks another car— not hard, just enough to take off a smidgin of paint—that goes down on her record as an accident. And whether or not it was Grace's fault, she must take an Army driver's test all over again. : Grace and her WAC friends chauffeur a critical covey of all-male back seat drivers, most of whom are majors, colonels or generals bent on missions they regard as second in-im-portance only, to Garcia's. But if Grace, in her willingness to please, romps the throttle too hard, or runs a stop light, the majors, the colonels and the generals don’t pay the fine. She does—out of her pay of less than $100 a month.

Undergo Rigid Training

ANOTHER REASON for the WACs’ driving skill is their training. Like all others, Cpl. Bettie J. Dilley, 23, of Birmingham, Ala., spent almost a month in school after reporting here. She had to pass all sorts of driving tests and she had the papers to show she should see, hear, judge distances and slap on the brakes cum laude. She also attended the Washington, D. C,, (This is set up for law violators, but all the WACs must attend BEFORE they break any laws.) The result of all this— In the past 12 months, the 64 girls have driven more than a million miles. They've had only five accidents in which a WAC was held responsible. The total damage in these five accidents: $325. ~

Drive Lot of War Heroes

HAVING BRIBED my WAC chauffeur into semiconfidence with a root beer on. a hot day,

I asked her if it wasn't all pretty nerve- |

wracking? “We like it,” she said. “We drive a lot of war heroes around—Medal of Honor winners and such. . “And some of these characters around here” —she waved an arm in the direction of the : tty “nice guys.” I asked her if she meant the generals. “Generals. A dime a dozen,” she said loftily. “I drive so many of 'em, I never notice ’em any more—unless they're nasty or make me wait too long in the hot sun, or something. , “But that doesn’t happen very often. Most of them are sort of fatherly but dignified. You know what I mean.” What about the other ranks? Are the lieutenants any nicer than the captains, and so forth? She turned and said casually: “Army’s just like other places. Some fellows are nice and polite. Some aren’t. You take them as they come. Being a corporal, I'm polite to all of them. “All in all, the army officers are a pretty good bunch.” But, she admitted, she’s going steady with an enlisted man—in the Navy.

Mohammed Naguib) and your men saved the nation’s honor and upheld right and justice.—Egyptian Wafdist party Jeader Mustapha El Nahas. «DS TIES AND COATS are sadistic (in the sum<mertime) and show a lack of common, ordinary intelligence.—~Norfolk, Va., Public Health Director M, M.

Editorial Writers Figure Jenner Put Eisenhower Over a Barrel

WASHINGTON—Sen. William KE. Jenner (R. Ind.) has had more publicity in the last six weeks in Washington and Eastern Seaboard newspapers than during his six years of Senate speechmaking. * For the first time, the junior Senator from Indiana is receiving attention second only to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, who suffered nothing short of a landslide in the Wisconsin Republican primary. Sen. Jenner was ahead of Sen. McCarthy in assailing Gen. George C. Marshall, but papers here, in New York and elsewhere gave him scant notice. It was the nomination of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gen. Marshall's favorite soldier, that made Sen. Jenner the subject of so much recent news and editorial comment.

LATEST item was the Senator’s letter to Ike thanking him for his support in Indianapolis. For it was at Indianapolis the Jenner publicity reached its peak and the editorials broke out all over. Pictures showing Sen. Jenner holding up the General's hand at the Butler Fieldhouse rally were widely published. Some of the special correspondents indicated they thought Sen. Jenner was horning in and Ike was trying to shake him off. Then came the Wisconsin indorsement of Sen. McCarthy and now they are less sure of who is riding whose coattails. The statement of Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) after his New York conference with Gen. Eisenhower, hasn't cleared the matter up. But while they were looking at those pictures of Bill and Ike some of the editorial ters had a field day. \

Rapped by Paper THE WASHINGTON POST, which backed Ike before Chicago, frankly urged election of Democratic Gov. Henry F. Schricker as a sounder supporter of the General's policies than Sen. Jenner. “Mr. Jenner is a liability not only to the Republican Party but also to the country,” the Post declared. ‘His record in the Senate shows him to be an obstructionist and a demagogue without principle.” The editorial added to that record by citing reports the Indiana Senator had gone all out for Eisenhower policies in a complete switch from his former “isolationism.” He insists he has not. A no less rabid anti-Jenner view appeared in the conservative Washington Star. “This is the man who,” they said of Sen. Jenner, “from the security of the Senate floor, denounced Gen. Marshall as a ‘living lie’ and as a ‘front for traitors’ If a more scurrilous slander has been uttered, it does not come readily to mind. “Gen. Eisenhower, figuratively speaking, must have found it necessary to hold his nose in voicing the Jenner indorsement, but it is hard to see how he could have done otherwise.”

Hard for lke

WRITING of the Jenner-Ike episodegin In-

diana, Roscoe Drummond, chief of the Christian Science Monitor Washington correspondents, said: “This action does not come: easy for Gen. Eisenhower, but it comes, and there are those

WASHINGTON—In the law office at Waynesboro, N.C,, of T. Lamar Caudle (who bought his wife a cut-rate mink) is an autographed photo of President Harry Truman, but he keeps it in the bottom of his

filing cabinet. “Why?” wondered the investigating committee of Rep. Frank L. Chelf (D. Ky.). “The people down there served notice on me not to hang it up,” said the softvoiced T. Lamar, who was fired by the President last

General in charge of the tax division in the midst of a hullabaloo which continues to plague the administration. Mr. Caudle meant that he still was in the dark as to why he lost his job, while his hometown friends were indignant that he had. He'll testify publicly in the next couple of days ; about his career as boss taxw fraud prosecutor—but in the meantime I can fill you in on 4d some of the things he told the committee in secret. :

among his aids, like Sen. James Duff of Pennsylvania and Paul Hoffman and others who believe that the General thereby will lose more votes among the millions of independents than he wins among the Republican faithful.” Commenting on the Wisconsin victory for Sen. McCarthy, New Deal columnist Lowell Mellett, himself a Hoosier, writing in the Washington Star,.says that out-of-state advice may have swelled the Wisconsin vote for Joe and the same may go for Bill Jenner. * Referring to the Eisenhower indorsement of Sen. Jenner, Mr. Mellett wrote— “This will hardly do the General any good. What good it does Sen. Jenner is problematical. The pig-headed Hoosiers may decide to show the General that they can handle their own -Senators.

DELICACY . . . By Richard Starnes | Goose Boom Held Unlikely

WASHINGTON — The goose, considered a great delicacy in most European countries, isn’t likely to supplant the turkey as the traditional holiday stuffing for Americans. The big problem in raising geese commercially is that goose eggs are difficult to incue bate, except under lady geese. © Except for getting the goslings successfully hatched, however, geese are a farmer's dream, An adult goose can thrive on pasture alone, ale though most market geese do get some extra feed. : : One of the happiest eating habits of the goose lies in the fact that they love grass but won’t touch cotton or strawberry plants. Turn

a flock into a patch of cotton and, before you can say boll weevil, the field is neatly weeded, the geese are fed and the cotton is thrifty.

Reports Some Success

THE AGRICULTURE Department admits that goose farming vrobably would be a lot easier than raising chickens or, what's worse, turkeys, but it isn’t sure Americans would’ buy many geese even if they were readily available and relatively cb The Department's Ohio Experiment station, near Columbus, has been poking around the edges of the goose egg hatching problem, however, and has had some success with artificial incubation. In addition to being cheaper to feed than turkeys, geese are hardier and a lot smarter, Geese sometimes live to be 40 years old and, when kept for their feathers, are plucked four or five times a year. Papa geese, or ganders, probably are unpopular with other male fowl because they are so handy around the coop; unlike most domestic birds, the gentleman goose helps raise the kids.

Geese Hard to Find

GOOSE CULTURE in this country went into a decline after the steel pen replaced the quill, Geese are hard to find in a lot of cities now. ~ Geese taste more like ducks than chickens or turkeys, and they are all dark meat. Best part of the goose, of course, is his liver, which is highly esteemed by trenchermen after being processed into pate de fole gras.

Goose growers around Strassburg, where the best pate comes from, encourage geese to grow big livers by keeping them in overheated coops and feeding them too much, In a fat goose, the liver is bigger than all the rest of his innards combined.

Buys Surplus Turkeys

IT'S DOUBTFUL that s~goose boom would let the taxpayer off the h upon which he has been neatly impaled by the ey farmers. The Agriculture Department hag started buying a lot of surplus turkeys to keep She turkey farmers happy and no matter how much it costs you may, be sure it isn’t going to be any poultry sum. Of course a big goose industry probably would hatch a goose lobby and then, of course, the government would start buying surplus geese to keep the goose farmers happy. Cost of that

MR. EDITOR:

Gen. Eisenhower has finally lost any self respect he may have had. Since his nomination he has been nothing but a puppet for Thomas E. Dewey, a two-time loser.

I realize that Gen. Eisenhower, as he has repeatedly admitted, is ignorant of the facts concerning many political issues. . Therefore he may be excused to a certain extent for not doing his’ own thinking.

However, when he states that he will “indorse and campaign actively” for Sen. MecCarthy of Wisconsin, if asked to do so, and that the same thing applies to Sen. Jenner of Indiana, I maintain that he has lost all self respect.

In a poll of nonpartisan newspaper men in Washington, Senators McCarthy, Jenner and Bricker were chosen as the “worst Senators in the country,” and the results of this poll were published in several nationally read magazines. Perhaps Gen. Eisenhower will again try to excuse himself for his ignorance. After all he may not have read the magazines. —Jack R. Wood, Shelbyville.

‘The Real Victims’

MR. EDITOR: It is high time that someone spoke out in defense of the people who are .the real victims of William Green, Philip Murray and John. IL. Lewis’ dictatorial strikes against the public. These costly, crippling strikes are not against the government, nor the tycoons of business, but against the poor people—widows and orphans, old age pensioners and people on small, fixed incomes, because these are the people who are really hurt by these arrogant labor bosses. The income tax is & Socialist racket, designed and intended to soélalize the national income and use our money to socialize our nation and the world. The Socialists and Communists always planned to. seize power and control of this na-

tion through and by the power of labor unions and general strikes. There is only one way to save ourselves from Socialist intrigue, conspiracy and Red slavery and that is to drive the Socialist wreckers from control of our government and our labor unions, It is my ‘opinion that many of the powerful labor bosses are Socialists and Sneutios of our political, economic and religious reedom.

And this is Mr. Stevenson's crowd, ro matter how much he ‘squirms,

Edward F. Maddox, City.

Salutes Bandmaster

MR. EDITOR: Thousands of spectators who attended the Ringling Bros.-Barnum and Bailey Circus in Indianapolis recently and enjoyed the splendid performance heard much favorable comment of the high-class circus band. What would a

circus be without the brilliant music? Quite dull, of course. The bandmaster of “the great est show on earth” is Merle Evans who hails from Columbus, Kas., where I first met him in 1916. His younger days was a varied and checkered . career as cornetist with several branches of the business—show boat, earnival and tent dramatic shows, For the season of 1917 he was engaged as bandmaster with the Jess Willard-Buffalo Bill wild west show, and from there to the popular Gus Hill's minstrels for the 1918 tour. Since 1919 he has been bandmaster of Rin, ling Bros.-Barnum and Bailey combined he His fine band delights thousands daily under the big top. Nationally known, he holds the unique. record of never having missed a performance during the 34 years of touring every getion of the United States and Canada. He also is composer of several marches played by the best bands. In sunshine, wind or rain, he has seen the performance several thousand es. ~Charlie Duble, Jeffersonville.

Caudle Keeps HST’s Photograph In Bottom of His Filing Cabinet

year as Assistant Attorney

The trouble was, said he, that the night before Mr. Truman tossed him out of the Justice Department, he had word from the White House that-he need not worry aboiit losing his job. All other indications were similar, Mr, Caudle lamented, and he’s still puzzled as to why he got the old heaveho. Take that picture of HST. Mr. Caudle had a picture of President Truman, all right, but he wanted it autographed. He phoned Matt Connelly, the President’s secretary, who sug-

gested that maybe he'd like a -

new photo. So Mr. Caudle asked for a picture with President Truman sitting sidewise like the one he'd given Army Secretary Kenneth Royal; he also wanted some writing on it, This he got and in a hurry.

per, 15 by 18 inches in size, and Mr. Caudle appreciated it, though he no longer has it on

display.

On Jan. 5, 1951, a few days after he got the picture, he received from Mr. Truman a note which said: “I am glad you think my hanging around

in your office will not be a

liability to you.” Then in October of the same

phoned to ask him to retary that letter and she'd see that he got another. This second presidential missive eliminated © around your office” and substituted “hanging on the wall.”

White House aids, he said, insisted he become a member of the presidential party. So he did—and had a pleasant chat with Mr, Truman, Mr, Caudle rode in the procession with Gen. Harry Vaughan and the President's physician, Maj, Gen. Wallace Graham. Then, lamented A the night before or ae. gave him the pink slip, he got a call from Donald Dawson,
