Dirksen Relies On Hard Work
To Spill Scott Lucas In Hiiinois
pill Scott Lucas In Il
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Service Correspondent
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.— (NEA) —Ex-Congressnran
Tverett M. Dirksen is running all over the state in.
his campaign to defeat the incumbent Democrat,
Scott Lucas, for U. S. senator from Illinois this
November. Up to the April 11 primary, Dirksen held
580 political rallies. He hopes to hold that many
more between primary and final election,
Dirksen has already scheduled three-a-day—
morning, afternoon and evening political meetings
{or September and October, the last two months of
the campaign.
Ie is trying to speak to as many non-political
o oanizations as posstvle, In order to reach the non
i nublicans who aren’t already convinced that he
s.ould be elected. So he talks to women’s clubs,
1 rent-teachers’ associations, farm meetings, Ro
t-ry, Kiwanis and the service clubs, to Germans,
Poles, Danes, Elks, church groups, Irish unionists,
the many Negro organizations in Chicago’s colored
wards. In the fall he’ll hit the county fair circuit,
It is a tough life, though perhaps no tougher than
that faced by any other political “out” trying to de
feat an “in.” Dirksen looks fine. He has fully re
covered from the illness and eye trouble which
forced his resignation from Con¥ress two years ago.
His baritone is strong. He is tanned. His hair is a
little grayer, though just as unruly as when he
v aved his mane in the well of the House in Wash
i-~ton. He beams on the platform. He greets local
(xndidates and celebrities with a heartiness that is
somewhat overwhelming, To the ladies he is court
liness itself.
On most of his journeys up and down the state,
Le travels by car, to save money. Mrs. Dirksen
drives for hinr. She also serves as his secretary.
When he wants to handle mail, he drives the car
and dictates to Mrs. Dirksen. They were so busy
campaigning that they couldn't attend the recent
graduation of their daughter Joy, from Bradley
College in Peoria. Joy understood. .
Dirksen never has to read a speech. This makes
him an effective campaigner. In Congress, Dirksen
was one of only about three representatives who
could command the undivided attention of the
House when he spoke, The other two are Speaker
Sam Rayburn and James W. Wadsworth of New
York. :
Dirksen carries with him at all times a little black
loose leaf notebook. His staff says he has about 70
of these little black books now. They're kept up to
date with facts and flgures. And when Dirksen
wants to make a speech on any subject, he can cite
from the book, ad libbing between citations. He
shoots straight fromr the lip. :
So far in the campaign, Dirksen hasn’t had to get
too specific on most issues. Dirksen’s program
won’'t be spelled out, in full, till after Labor Day. In
the hot summer months he believes it will be hard
for the voters to grapple with deep issues. He is con=
vinced, however, that the campaign will be fought
out on national issues—Washington issues—and not
as a conflict of personalities.
Among the issues he has touched on so far in his
campaign are high taxes and government spending,
the Reds in government, the Marshall Plan and for
eign aid, FEPC, aid to education, socialized medi
cine and creeping socialism in general.
He feels that the Taft-Hartley act and the Taft
amendmrents to the act—which he was for—are no
longer an issue. The Brannan plan he does not con
sider an issue in Illinois since the Illinois Agricul
tural Association—the local Farm Bureau Federa
tion organization which is 90,000 strong — voted
against it.
Dirksen has been in a somewhat ticklish position
on the Marshall Plan. It was Dirksen who tock the
floor and saved the Truman administration from a
$1,000,000,000 cut on the original Marshall Plan ap
propriation, Dirksen says there was a surplus in the
treasury then and the national debt was being re
duced. Now the situation has changed. The govern
ment is on deficit financing and it’s time for another
look at what’s to be done next,
Because of this, Dirksen has been accused of ca
tering to Chicago Tribune editorial policy, which
has opposed the Marshall Plan {rom the start. But
Dirksen says he has never asked the Tribune for its
support. The Chicago Daily News is for him.
In recent speeches, Disksen has been stressing the
moral and the ethical crisis that faces America in
such things as the charges of perversion K among
government employes, the Kansas City ballot box
thefts, the income tax exemptions granted to con
tributors to the Democrats, Jefferson-Jackson ral
lies in Washington and Chicago, the Pr;sident‘s
“non-political tour,” and so on.
In the Illinois primary, the Democrats polled
912,000 votes, the Republicans a total of 877,000,
The Democrats carried Cook county by 536,000 to
331,000. The Republicans carried the rest of the
state 545,000 to 376,000.
Who wins will therefore depend on who gets out
the most of the one million to three million non
voters,
Erickson Plea Shows “Tygoons™
.
Can Be Brought to Justice
When Frank Erickson, the 54-year-old New York
gambler, pleaded guilty to bookmaking charges the
other day, he may or may not have thought the
cards were stacked against hinr,
But whatever his motive, it’s certain he’s a hero
in the gambling world today. By avoiding a trial,
he’s kept the public’s embarrassing gaze off not
only his own affairs but those of many other book
ies in a lot of places.
Names, details of technique, clientele, and num
erous other trade secrets would have been exposed.
Now, thanks to Erickson’s “mrartyrdom,” most of
this will lie untouched in the district attorney’s
files.
If anyone has any doubts what withering dam
age the spotlight does to the careers of men on the
left-hand side of the law, he need only note Erick
son’s behavior in a New York courtroom. Through
out the entire proceedings, the mild-mannered,
heavy-jowled gambler was ashen and frightened.
He managed to utter just one word, and that with
difficulty.
Frank Hogan, the New York district attorney,
calls Erickson the “biggest and most notorious book
maker in the United States.” The claim might be
hard to prove. But it's clear he’s big. He admitted to
a congressional committee that he made SIOO,OOO in
a recent year. His income from 1933 to 1945 is gen
erally understood to have been $22,000,000.
Hogan is confident Erickson has now been forced
from the gambling picture for all time. Again, that
contention mray be debatable. One thing, however,
the case definitely does do: :
It demonstrates that the top men of today’s
gambling and crime syndicate can be snared, for all
their clever effort to “stay legal” and operate be
hind a facade of legitimate business. And they can
be caught on charges that bear real relation to their
questionable activities, rather than through reliance
on such incidental violations as federal income tax
evasion.
Action against Erickson must be just a starter.
Some man or group of men will try to pick up the
scepter he has dropped. The gambling business
probably will go on pretty much as usual unless the
authorities smash his whole set-up and his rivals
as well. Without this sequel; Erickson’s conviction
will serve little purpose.
Putting Erickson behind bars for the first time in
his life is a nrove, too, that should lend much heart
to the U. S. Senators now probing crime in the
capital. Having seen this tangible proof that results
are possible, the Senate crime investigating com
mittee should redouble its efforts to unearth the
full story of organized criminal operations in Am
erica. Once they begin blinking under the glare of
news photographer’s flash bulbs, the criminals will
be on the way out.
Country Above Politics
Governor Frank Lausche, a maverick Ohio Dem
ocrat, indicates he might vote for Republican Sen
ator Robert Taft next fall if he thinks the country’s
interest dictates it.
Lausche plainly has in mind Taft’s highly pro
ductive career in the Senate, where he has been a
leader from the moment he took office. It would
hardly be accurate to say Taft has never lapsed into
political opportunisnr; but his record of service con
scientiously rendered is nevertheless almost un
matched.
Opposing him Lausche sees Joseph Ferguson,
“fearless state auditor,” tather of eight, and mang
ler of the English language. The governor is find
ing it difficult right now to believe the amiable Mr.
Ferguson could be of equal value to his country as
a member of the Senate.
But even if Lausche votes for Taft, that doesn’t
mean the senator is in. In political parlance, Fer
guson is a “sleeper.” Powerful forces will . back
him, including labor’s full weight. And the voters
who go to the polls in November won’t be meas
uring his scholarship.
Sad Commentary
There’s a grim note in pictures from Western
Germany showing new concrete roads being built
in a fashion that will aid their speed destruction
in event of war.
All along the pavements on either side a series of
holes have been drilled and covered with concrete
caps. In an emergency, a retreating force needs only
to drop explosive charges into the holes and fall
back. Saves a lot of digging, and a lot of time.
Probably the next step: bridges and tunnels com
plete with TNT and fuse systems, needing only the
touch of a detonator to set them off.
Hardly an expression of confidence in the future
peace or Europe, is it?
You can assure the world of one thing. When I
get out of this job the one thing I am going to run
for is home, — ECA Administrator Paul G. Hoff
man, mentioned as a possible presidential candi
date.
As I look out into the future, I see better things
for the individusl than I've ever seen before.—
Thomas J. Watson, chairman, International Busi
ness Machines Corporation.
The minute any man successfully establishes
himself in any business nowadays, he automatically
becomes a potential jailbird. — Benjamin Fairless,
president, U, S. Steel.

Great Bible Characters: Abraham
BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
No account of Bible characters
is complete that does not begin
with Abraham. He was to the land
of Palestine, and to the people of
Israel, something of what Colum
bus was to America, but a great
deal more.
In a sense he was a discovered
and pioneer, laying the founda
tions of the life of a people in a
new environment, but he was a
spiritual leader, a man of vision
in things of the soul far beyond
his time, as well as a physical

193 E. Clayton
leader of resourcefulness and
courage.
His great trek to Palestine from
far-off Ur in Chaldea seems to
have had its inception in a spirit
ual vision and awakening. There,
in an idolatrous home and envi
ronment, he had a conception of
God who was a living Being, of
goodness and character in worship.
It is easy to read into the past
conceptions of a later time, and
the God of Israeal to the eye of
realism -seems at times to have
been little more than a tribal diety.
But, if so, it was a relapse into
something far less than the lofty
and noble conception of God, and
man’s relation to God, clearly
manifested in the story of Abra
ham.
Consider these things. Here
(Genesis 18:23-33) is Abraham
pleasing for the righeous minority
against the destruction of Sodom
and Gomorrah. The great signifi
cance of that incident ~nould not
be missed. How different is the
SR Fiery Smartin

M
conception of a God with whom
man can reason, especially about
ifllh%ti‘flhfi“cfifltfi?fifii
1%%00d or stone to which man bows
in blind fear or superstition!
How real was Abraham’s reli
gion wag manifested in the re
markable story of the strife be
tween Abraham’s herdsmen and
Lot’s (Genesis 13). Here was a
man whose hatred of war and
strife was so deep that he was
willing to forego his own interests,
and what he might have consider
ed his rights, to prevent strife. In
that respect the world has a long
way to go to catch up with Abra
ham.
Whatever was great in Isaac and
Jacob was chiefly an inheritance
from Abraham. Neither was as
great in his own right, and the
story of Jacob is of outstanding
interest because of the struggle
between good and evil, and the
ultimate triumph of faith and right
in a man of shifty character and
a checkered career.
It is something when a man of
selfishness, bragging for himself,
becomes a man of faith. Jacob
suffered for his sins, but the story
of Peniel (Genesis 32:24-32) has
preserved a memory of what was
best in him. |
Georgia farmers are urged to
begin planning now to sow winter
grazing around the first of Sep
tember.
