American Guard’s Campaign
| Paid Off n Indiana Pri
| Paid Off in Indiana Primary
BY PETER EDSON
) NEA Service Correspondent
ANDERSON, Ind.—(NEA)—When the organizers
of the Anderson American Guard decided to launch
their good government movement to clean up local
political conditions, they figured that the cost of
educating the voters and arousing public interest
would be about one dollar per head. Madison
county has a population of about 100,000. That
meant a budget of SIOO,OOO for a 15-month period—
October, 1949, to December, 1950, This would carry
thenr through the May, 1950, primary and the Nov=-
ember election.
Actually, the Guard’s executive director, young
C. 0. “Chuck” Harbaugh, says it has operated on
something less than that, He estimates costs will be
about $75,000. Most of this has gone for printing,
newspaper advertising and radio time.
The Guard’s staff in addition to the $12,000-a
--year director, includes a research director, an au
ditor, a publicity man, two secretaries and a mes
senger, Headquarters is in the first floor of a big
old frame house a few blocks off Main Street. It
has a neon sign to make clear its location and its
open operations,
The dues were put at $5 per family unit. The
Gugrd now claims a membership of about 4,000, in
about 2,500 family units. That means about $12,500
fronr memberships. The Guard decided it would
take no money from corporations or business firms.
Buwt several individuals have contributed SI,OOO
apiece, others SSOO, S2OO, SIOO, SSO, S2O, $lO.
COUNTY IS THOROUGHLY ORGANIZED
it was decided to organize from the bottom up,
instead of from the top down. There are 65 pre
cincts in the 14 townships of Madison county, The
average precinct had about 600 to 800 voters. In a
few rural areas, the township was the precinct, In
the city the precincts took in 10 to 20 city blocks.
The organization was never carried down to the
block level, though that is planned for the Novem
ber election. But there were neighborhood organ
izations, with one Democrat and one Republican in
charge of every unit, And for every precinct there
were Democratic and Republican co-captains,
In 11 of the rural precincts, there were dirt far
mer captains. But in the city it was the women who
did a lot of work. They held meetings at 9 o’clock
i the morning, 2 o’clock in the afternoon, 8 o'clock
at night—in schools, churches, private homes, over
the back fence. All meetings were open.
The big job was educational, and it was aimed at
the May primary. What were the officers to be
elected—what did they do? What were their sala=
ries? How long were they elected for? What did a
congressman do, a circuit court judge, the prose
cuting attorney, the state legislators, the county
clerk, recorder and commissioners, the township
trustees, justice of the peace, constable?
Next, who were the candidates? Their names,
their records?
Here the American Guard decided to publish a
“Voters’ Manual.” It is a 56-page pamphlet. I'm
told that when the Guard took the copy for this
manual to one Indianapolis print shop, U, A, W.-
C. 1, O. headquarters in Detroit called up the printer
and told him if he took the job, he would never
get any more union business. He passed it up. But
another union shop took it, and the booklet came
out with a union label.
Some of the candidates refused to submrit bic
graphical data for the Voters’ Manual. Of 40 can
didates who failed to make such response after
three invitations, only six were elected.
C.1.0.-BACKED CANDIDATES LOST OUT
One other statistic offered is that of 18 candi
dates endorsed by the C.1.0.-P.A.C.—IS Democrats
and three Republicans—six were nominated and 12
were defeated.
The C. I. O. union papers blasted the American
Guard at every chance, Shop and local union news
papers criticized the Guard and radio time was
taken to criticize it.
The Guard claimed it endorsed no candidates of
either party. There may have been some cheating
on this. But the effort was made to keep the whole
campaign bi-partisan.
The information collected by the Guard was
turned over to educational leaders, meeting direc=
tors, telephone assistants and correspondents ap
pointed for each of the 65 precincts and smaller
units,
The results of all this awakening of public inter=-
est spoke for itself in the primrary election last May.
Fifty-six percent of Madison county’s eligible voters
went to the polls, This was higher than any of In=
diana’s 92 counties. In the 1948 primary the turn
out in Madison county was only 33 percent of the
voters,
The Anderson American Guard is now preparing
to do & similar educational job for the November
election. One of the major efforts here will be to
set up voting machines and dummy machines and
teach the voters how to split a ticket. The idea is to
et the voters to vote for the best candidate, re
,m of party,

Senator George Enfitled To
.
Re-election To Senate
Senator Walter F. George six years ago, almost,
was elected to the United States Senate to begin
another termr of his long service in that body of
lawmakers. He was elected upon the basis of his
record in office. That record was based upon certain
beliefs which Senator George and which apparently
the people have approved because they have re
peatedly elected him to the Senate, even when he
had powerful opposition. i
Now if Senator George was given the people's
vote at times when his record was brought up for
criticism and he continued to conduct himself in the
Senate in accordance with policies which he had
followed in making that record then, we contend,
he is entitled to the endorsement of the voters in
this year’s Democratic Primary. For if the people
were satisfied with him sufficiently to return him
to the Senate again and again he is entitled to their ‘
approval this year for another term because he has |
been consistent. He has not deviated from his poli
cies. He is what he was when he was elected nearly ‘
six years ago, to another ternr in his present office.
He has not changed. l
Senator George is reaching an advanced age but i
he is well-preserved and is mentally and physically
virile, His'long experience in the Senate and the |
powerful place he occupies puts him in position to
serve the State and nation exceptionally well. Both
the State and the nation need him in his present_
post. He sought the people’s commission for the
term he presently is serving. The people gave him
that commission. He has carried it out. No workman
should be fired if he has done the job given him as
he said he would do it and his employer wanted
him to do it, Senator George should be no excep
tion to the rule, He should be re-elected and prob
ably will be by an overwhelming majority.
Acheson, Lawmakers Should
Meet in Co-operafive Spirit
Secretary of State Acheson is said to be sounding
out Congress to see if the lawmakers want to meet
with him regularly to discuss foreign affairs, in the
manner of their recent get-together in the capital.
This séems an excellent plan, provided both sides
do their utmost to break down the formidable bar
rier that still exists between them. Not much head
way was made toward a better understanding in
their first meeting. f
Next time out the participants will benefit if
their conference is less of a performance. The
noise and glare of newsreel and television equip
nment made the discussion itself almost incidental
the last time.
For his part, Acheson in the future must behave
less like a professor of international law and more
like an approachable human being. There’s no ex
cuse for frosty aloofness in a meeting whose whole
aim is improved understanding among men.
Maybe the next session should be held in a non
air conditioned building in the heat of Washington’s
summer, so the secretary would have to doff his
coat and tie. Then we might get the atmosphere of
informality that fits the occasion,
As for Congress, though it has a right to expect
warmer treatment from Acheson, it shouldn’t ex
pect him to make over his personality completely
to suit the lawmakers.
Criticisms of his mode of dress, his natural
speaking delivery and other perhaps innate fraits
are unfair alid unwarranted. We're not all cast in
the same mold; those who frown on people who are
different just because they're different really are
defining their own shortcomings,
The legislatox:s owe it to the secretary, further
" mrore, to come prepared #o talk about the issue at
hand. No useful purpose can be accomplished if
they seek to convert the session into a propaganda
field day for the airing of their individual pet
gripes about our foreign policy. .
The most responsible lawmakers didn't open
their mouths last time. It is to them we look for
wise guidance of such discussions into fruitful
channels. If they fall down, the wild-swinging pro
pagandists will dominate the scene.
This is a promising experiment at bridging the
gap between Congress and the Executive Branch
which has so often in history handicapped the con
duct of American affairs. It deserves to succeed.
Will so Win
Courage is a lesson wherever you find it. Most
recently it was seen in Ardmore, Pa., where little
Ben Hogan astonished the world by his remarkable
golfing comeback.
In 1948 Hogan was at the peak of his game and
seemed set to stay on top a long time, Then came
the famous: automobile accident in which he was
seriously injured. The fear was that Hogan never
again would play a championship round of golf,
But Ben just wasn't the quitting kind. By the
first of this year he was back in competition with
the nation’s best golfers. He came within an eye
lash of capturing a big winter tourney in Califor
nia. Then came the big test—the U. S. Open.
Still short on the strength he once had, but long
on nerve and cagier than ever, Hogan fought his
way into a triple tie and a playoff. With the chips
down, he put on the steam and beat his two rivals.
Today he’s riding the crest again. And that hos
pital bed in Texas looks a long way off. It didn’t
discourage Ben Hogan. Adversity can’t stop any
man who sees it for what it is: a challenge ot be
met and conquered, and not an insuperable barrier
before which he must fall,

Not, good sir, when you're at a

You step on the throttle, move easily,
swiftly forward. Your wheels dance
—vyour tires drum-roll over rail and

But four gentle coil springs, one on

The old saying, haste makes
waste, comes true on the highways.
Speed causes accidents, haste
wastes lives. You're not wasting
them when you drive at reasona
ble speeds, you're saving lives.
High speeds are haste, and haste
makes waste. Don’t waste your
life, or some one else’s. Keep your
speed down is the advice of our
Safety Education Division of the
Georgia State Patrol. |
So rough spots seem to level out at
your coming. Boulevards take on ai'
new smoothness. You know what
riding comfort is —why the Buick
ride is called matchless,
So how about it?
Come climb into a Buick and see
for yourself what we mean. You'll
get 2 style-thrill and a power-thrill
along with your ride-thrill—and a
story on price that eliminates your
last excuse for not traveling in the
Buick manner!
