- ADA Left Without Candidate
.
~ As Justice Douglas Says No
fres BY PETER EDSON
Pug NEA Washington Correspondent
* WASHINGTON—Supreme Court’ Justice William
O;Douglas, who has been backed by liberal New
Dealers in Americans for Democratic Action as a
candidate for vice president or even president on
the Democratic ticket, has virtually taken himself
“out of the race. In a letter to this writer he has said
_flatly “that he has no plans to leave the bench and
it fiot a' candidate for any public office.”
; While this great self-denial may still leave Justice
Douglas an out to be drafted at the Philadelphia
eonvention, for the time being it leaves Americans
for Democratic Action dangling in midair without
a candidate. General Eisenhower, whom the ADA
‘had wanted as presidential candidate, has already
r@maved himself as a possibility. And ADA has
repudiated Truman. :
- This ADA political fringe outfit was organized by
a'Bunch of ex-New Deal administrators a year ago
“last-January. Wilson Wyatt, Leon Henderson, Paul
Porter and people like that. It started” out to be
extremely liberal but anti-Communist.
_Not all of the New Deal crowd could go along on
this program. Henry Wallace didn’t. go along.
< ADA has just issued an exhaustive analysis of
the first three months of Henry Wallace's cam
wpaign. It biasts the third-party candidate unmerci
fudly.-It checks up on his more controversial state
thents and shows wherein they are wrong. It is a
_devastating attack. 4
G}GUP HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY ANTI
WALLACE
In this anti-Wallace attitude, ADA has been en
tirely consistent. Ever since last July, when Mrs.
Roosevelt and Wilson Wyatt both spoke out against
"g‘_fé’ catastrophe of a third party, ADA has been
all-out against Wallace. It is doubtful if it can
«Swing as many votes as Walldce can, but whatever
““its influepce, it has been against splitting the Demo
catic Party on this issue. = :
“'.Wéother issues,” however; ADA seems so have
been lost in its ‘own ideological fog. At its meeting
ii March, 1947, it endorsed the program of Presi
dent Truman. Ihe expectation was that it would go
down the line with the Democratic Parly.
.+At its Philadelphia convention last February,
ADA passed a resolution to support liberal candi--
es, regardless of party. But it fhiled to endorse
m&m Truman for re-election. .
" The President’s tide was at low ebb-at that time.
fiahimrats were just beginning to hope that General
Eisenhower might be drafted as their candidate.
Not wanting to back a man that might be a loser,
the great liberal minds in ADA apparently decided
this was a time when they should “rise ‘above their
principles” and try to pick a winner. |
‘»They are still fooking around for a pair of broad
shoulders on which to cast their mantle of approval.
At a recent Pittsburgh meeting, an enlargéd board
of 70 ADA directors met to write a policy state
ment. They included a challenge to the Democratic
Party. to hold an open conventjon in Philadelphia
next July, Then they named Eisenhower and Su
preme Court Justice William O. Douglas as "menl
this nation had a right to call upon. ‘
They expressed honor to Truman- for his]
courageous stand on civil rights. But they added
that “poor appointments and faltering support of
his aides” had resulted in failure to rally the people
behind policies which the ADA supported.
By this action, ADA may have given Harry Tru
man the worst stab in the back he has had from his
own party. It was the third stab of the campaign.‘
The first was from Wallace. The second from the
Southern Democrats. r
'_.;.['{‘x,e; Eisenhower-Douglas ticket, which ADA pro-1
Poses, is admittedly interesting. But it reveals how
litte the ADA hierarchy really worries about i&!
ideals, and how much it is interested in getting a:‘
li¢ke! with some popular appeal. : '
_Nobody knows where Eisenhower stands on civil
liberties, on price controls, on taxation, ‘on labor
legislation or .on any of the ‘more controversial
.“- deat to the heart of New Dealers.
THIS SHOULD SETTLE IT
The admission by an eminent Boston
physician in Atlanta last week that Dr.
Crawford W. Long, of Georgia, was the
first to use anesthesia in surgical work
should end for all time the controversy
that has raged for years as to whether it
was Dr. Long, of Georgia, or Dr. Morton,
of Boston, to whom belonged this recog
nition. Years ago, most of the nation was
convinced by the records that it was Long
who performed a painless operation about
two years prior to the Boston dentist’s
use of the same drug, but Massachusetts
claimed that it was its own Dr. Morton to
whom credit belonged.
Last week, though, Dr. Henry K.
Beecher, of Boston, keynpte speaker at
the sessions of the Georgia Medical As
sociation, asserted in the course of his
address that: .
“The need for the relief of pain pro
duced by the surgeon’s scalpe! led to the
development of naesthesia by Dr. Craw
ford W. Long, and later by Morton, per
haps the greatest single step forward in
the relief of pain.”
Incidentally, Dr. Beecher is anesthesist
in-chief at Massachusetts General Hos
pital where Dr. Morton did his first sur
gical operations under anesthesia.
~ ‘Confusion with fespect to the time
‘element involved in the controversy seems
to have been due to the fact that Morton’s
performance was widely publicized at the
time, wher&s Dr. Long’s successful use of
the drug in Jefferson, Ga., was not ac
companied by fanfare,
SENTIMENTS IN WHICH WE CONCUR
In his address tov the annual meeting of
‘the Junior Chamber of Commerce several
‘evenings ago, D. Weaver Bridges paid
glowing tribute to that fine organization
|of young men and the many accomplish
ments in community betterment that
Istand to their credit. He praised the team
(work and enthusiasm that characterize
all of their undertakings and expressed
the view that there should be a close co
relation of this .organization’s activities
with those of the senior Chamber of
Commerce, of which he is president.
With respect to the latter organization,
Mr. Bridges lauded Joel A. Wier for the
many years of devoted service to the
senior Chamber, pi'ior to his retirement
the first of April as Secretary in order to
devote his entire time to the Athens Hous
ing Authority, of which he is the execu
tive director. President Bridges said that
Secretary Wier had piloted the Chamber
of Commerce through difficult periods,
with only limited support, despite which
he left a record of community accom
plishments from which Athens has prof
ited.
Mr. Bridges spoke reassuringly of the
future of the Chamber of Commerce, be
speaking for it more universal support,
which is necessary for maximum accom
plishments, and told of plans he has for
tying-in the efforts of the senior and
junior organizations in worthwhile move
ments. | { 49| N EEEE

The Innocent fimpo:s tox
By Reneg S e N SHvICE B
THE STORY: Patience decides
to take Charlotte’s advice about
winning Paul back., She will try
to talk to him on the train this
evening, tell him now wrong
she’s been, Roger sees her off
and, just as Paul comes hurry
ing through the barrier, Kkisses
her full on the lips.
. * ®
XXIII
Roger held her very ecloseiy to
him. Yes, right there on the
crowded platform She was_ co
astonished that she couldn't
break free of him., But at last
he released her.
She looked at him, her cheeks
flaming scarlet, He gave a rather
shame-faced laugh.
“Sorry, darling, 1 just couldn’t
help it.”
She was dimly aware of Paul
getting into the carriage next to
hers, the carriage with the blonde
who was making little cooing
sounds of joy at sight of him.
She said desperately: “Oh,
Roger, why did you??”
“You mean you don’t like be.
ing kissed?” ‘
Did she mean that? Would she,
if she were utterly honest, say
that actually she’d not dislikad
it at all, but she wished to high
heaven he'd not chosen to kiss her
just at that moment? But, per
haps luckily, there was n, time
to answer. The guarq blew his
whistle. Roger whisked her into
the train. He ran alongside the
carriage as it started.
“Darling, you liked it really,”
he said, and Patience was certain
that Paul couldn’t help but hear
him. And then with a laugh:
“Don’t look so flustered. I'm not
the first man, my sweet, who's
kissed his girl at the station.”
“Bat I'm not—"
The rush of wind, the noise of
the train, drowned anything else
she might have said. She stood
there in the corridor, staring out
onto the drab dreary sheds and
buildings alongside which the
train was now running. Her
hands tighteneq around the brass
rail along t_hf \iviniiow.
And now there was a sound
behind her, A door of a carriage
was being closed firmly. She
looked up and saw him.
“Paul, I wanted to speak to
you.”
“T thought I wanted to speak
to you. That’s why I've come out
into this corridor. But now I'm
face to face with you—"
“You don’t want to?”
“Not in the least. ' After last
night—"
“It was about last night I
wanted to spezk to you.”
His eyes were bitter as they
rmet hers, his mouth hard and an
gry How could she talk to him
when he looked at her like this?
All the same she must try.
“] wanted to explain—" she
feltered.
“And I don’t want to hear any
explanations,” he said harshly.
“I shouldn’t believe them what
ever they might be. Hely smoke,
I wouldn’t put any cock and bull

story past you. You'll be trying
to suggest next it wasn't you I
was talking to last night, Maybe
it was that twin sister of yours!
Now thet was a nice liitle fairy
tele you told me. Think back—it
might be useiul to you now—"
Her heart turned to stone She
stared at Paul. He'd taken the
wind out of her sails completely.
How could she now possibly tell
him what had really Happened
last night? He'd already said he
wouldn't believe her. R
Suddenly a fierce and blazing
anger seized her.
She sazid coldly: “If you're so
sure I'm capable of speaking the
truth then of course it’s absurd
for me to try to explain to you
what really happened.” |
“Quite absurd.” He looked at
her, his eyes dark with resent
ment. “] suppose that Dickson
fellow wh, kissed you goodby
with such fervor just now is a
great big brother to you!”
They glared at each other, the
breach, wide enough already,
widening even ‘more between
them,
“You said,” went on Patience,
deciding she had not after all
quite finished with him, “a great
deal that I resented last time we
spoke to each other. Now I must
say you've excelled yourself.”
- * =
She turned her back on him
then, went into her carriage,
closeq the door firmly and sat
down in her corner seat. She
wasn’t hurt any more. She was
mad clear through. She ..didn’t
!care one single iota about Paul
and that was indeed comforting.
Because, obviously, he wasn’t
worth worrying about.
She stalked past his carriage
when she got out at Oakley and
hurried down the platform, with
out one glance in its direction.
And now here she was entering
the house and it was wrapping
her around with its warm affec
‘tion. The world of London seemed
far away. ;
“Is that you, Patience?” called
Aunt Alice’s voice. -
She went into the sitting room.
They were both there. Aunt
Helen with her household ac
counts spread out before her,
Aunt Alice with her mending.
“Ah, there you are, darling,”
‘they said in chorus. And Aunt
Alice, her eyes bright with eag
ernesé, her voice zlmost tremul
cus with excitement: “Now tell
us all about it, right from the
very beginning.” )
It made a thrilling story. Pa
tience told it from beginning to
end. Leaving out, of course, all
mention of Paul.
When she finished she kissed
her Aunt Alice and then Aunt
Helen suddenly, .i?ulsively,
“Thank you for létting meé 50’
Aunt Helen,” she seid.
“I'm gald you enjoyed your
self,” said Miss Helen.
Miss Alice smiled at her.
“Dear Ilittle girl,” she said.
And, s Patience left the room to
go upstairs to take off her things:
“Really, Helen, 1 think we’ll be
quite wise to let the child have
[these occasional treats in Lon
don.”
