Florida Primary Coming Up,
Russell May Go Campaignin’
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Ceorrespondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA )—Now you take Senator
Richard B. Russell of Georgia. There’s a candidate
for the Democratie presidential nomination who's
taking & easy and refusing to get hot and pothered
about a single doggone issue.
Let Kefauver and Kerr or any of the others go
gallavantin’ around the country as much as they
please, kissin’ bables and pattin’ blondes, shakin’
hands till they wear off their warts and develop
callouses,
By some perverse sense of responsibility, Senator
Russell sticks to his job in Washington, chairmanin’
his Armed Services and Agriculture Appropria«
tion comnrittees and never makin’ a single speech,
But along towards the end of April, Senator Rus=-
sell hag reason to believe that all this Senate busi=
ness may let up a mite. And then for a few weeks
he might do a smidgin of campaignin’,
There's a dinner bein’ given in his honor in At
lania on Friday, April 25. Not a banquet, you un
derstand. Just a quiet little gatherin’ of a few old
friends. Politics rrfay be discussed some, of course.
But no big speechifyin’ with a lot of television and
radio broadcastin’ far and wide.
Over the week-end, Senator Russell would like to
go home to Winder, Ga., northeast of Atlanta, to
sce his 84-year-old mother. Then and only then
will he consider doin’ a little campaignin’.
In Florida, Senator Russell is entered in a kind
of beauty contest with Senator Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee on May 6.
NOTHING FRANTIC—ALL QUITE CASUAL
Where will Senator Russell speak? Oh, that's
bein’ left entirely up to his Florida campaign man=
ager, Dr. Eugene 8, Peek, sr., of Ocala, Forida.
Wherever Dr. Peek thinks it advisable for Senator
Russell to go, there he'll go. Within the linits of his
time, of course. Nothin’ very frantic or excited
about any of this. It's all very casual-like.
This is the first time Florida has had this early
preference primary. The names of the candidates
themselves appear on the ballot for local, state and
national office, Anybody can run on this ballot.
In addition to Russell and Kefauver, a couple of
other local characters are running for President, but
they’ll be eliminated. That’s why this May 6 pri
mary is important as the first test of strength be
tween the gentlemen from Georgia and Tennessee.
Three weeks later, on May 27, will come Florida's
second primary. In this election, the names of only
the two candidates receiving the most votes for state
and local offices will appear.
The names of Russell and Kefauver will disap
pear, however, and in their places will be the names
of their pledged delegates to be elected for the
Democratic Convention in Chicago. There are 59
Celegates entered for Russell, but only 24 for Ke
fauver. Only 24 are to be chosen. That gives Ke
fauver a decided advantage.
Florida election law experts say the only reason
these convention delegates’ namres do not appear
on the first primary, May 6, is that they would
make the ballot five or six feet long and impos
sible to handle. To aveid this, they were shifted to
the second primary ballot,
CAMPAIGN STRATEGY NOT YET DECIDED
The great confusion this causes is that Russell
might win the beauty contest in the first primary
and a few, some or all of his pledged delegates
might be defeated in the second primary.
Whether Senator Russell will go into Florida for
more campaigning before the second primary
hasn’t been decided. In fact, nothing else about the
Russell campaign has been decided., He is entered
in only this one prinrary. To all outward appear=-
ances the outcome of the whole pre-Chicago cam
paign is to be decided in Florida, as far as the Rus
sell candidacy is concerned.
The genial Georgia senator doesn’t have to do
another lick of work, of course, to capture the solid
South’s 316 votes—Texas to Virginia. This could
well be the largest first-ballot strength at Chicago.
Whether it can grow to 616 and victory is some
thing else again.
At Russell's Washington headquarters in a small
second floor Mayflower Hotel apartment, every
thing seems serene. Aaron L. Ford, former Missis«
Bippi congressman, is in charge. Half a dozen Sou=-
thern belles are practically sitting on each other's
laps, writing letters lickety split.
Another good-lookin’ gal sits at a desk with half
a dozen phones in front of her. But in the first
days of the telephone strikes they were ominously
silent. An elderly lady—and a few boys in coonskin
caps—eame in for buttons.
Still Mr. Ford is optimistie as only a political
eampaign manager can be. Hopes to have an organ
ization in every state. Hopes the senator can get out
more. Mopes for delegates im many if not all states,
Qutside the South, he now has one nalled down,
in Nebraska,
The fellow who §¢ always pushing himself into
the limelight usually turns out to be a lemon,
Speeders lead the list of those who trouble the
court, says a judge. All because they court trouble.

Check Into McGranery Case
Could Save Headaches Later
And so it comes to pass that Washington, in its
wisdom, will have a cabinet appointee passed upon
by the department he is supposed to become head
of and in which he once was the No. 2 man.
The man is U. S .District Court Judge James P,
McGranery of Philadelphia, named by President
Truman to be U. S. Attorney QGeneral, succeeding
J. Howard McGrath.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, which must
approve the appointment, has asked to see a full
and up-to-date FBI check on McGranery, particu=-
larly his connection with the Amerasia case. Some
senators are predfcting privately the committee’s
look at the record may take weeks.,
The Amerasia case, it will be recalled, con-
cerned the World War II theft of secret government
documents. McGranery, then with the Justice De
partment, was in charge of the prosecution of the
case,
MeceGranery later testified before a congressional
committee that he made a “deal” with the principal
defendant, Philip J, Jaffe, in which the latter
pleaded guilty and was fined $2,500.
Testimony at the hearings, held in 1949, was
withheld from the public for four years, although
the conrmittee did issue a general report.
There were some complaints of a whitewash.
McGranery defended his action in making the
‘“deal” by stating it was the only way the case
could have been handled in view of the legal cir=-
cumstances.
What we're getting at here, is that it does seem
President Truman might have chosen for so ticklish
a job as attorney general a man less open to criti=-
cism, justified or not, than is McGranery.
McGranery would be stepping into one of the
hottest spots in Washington. In fact, the thoroughly
singed McGrath suggested to his successor fi'xat he
bring to the job a pair of asbestos britches.
There's yet another fact which might work
against McGranery’s effecting a smooth working
operation as attorney general. In testifying as to his
actions in the Amerasia case he blamed the weak=-
ness of his position as head prosecutor on bungling
by the FBI in obtaining evidence.
J. Edgar Hooves, FBI head, isn't likely to forget
that criticisny, which could bring on a situation not
entirely conducive to good Justice Department
morale, ‘
But the main thing is that the people of America
are getting pretty well fed up with the kind of
bungling and worse which has been taking. place in
Washington.
They deserve better and sooner or later they’re
going to get it. If the appointment of McGranery is
a step in the right direction, all right. But if it
isn’t, the people responsible should make every
effort to establish that fact.
A long look at the facts now can save a lot of
headaches later. And headaches right now are what
the country has just about all it can take.
Economy Bloc Rides High
The economy bloc in Congress is riding high., The
word is that any congressman can introduce an
amendment to cut almost any appropriation, and
get it passed. But the total record to date indicates
a saving of only nine to ten percent on budget esti
mates,
Five money bills have now passed the House.
Budget estimates totaled $13.114 billion., House ap=-
propriations committee cut to $12.003 billion, for a
saving of sl.lll billion. On the floor there were
further cuts of only $32 million, for a total saving
of $1.143 billion.
Savings were $76 million on Treasury-Post Office
bill, $724 million on Independent offices, S2OO mile
lion on Labor Department-Federal Security Admine
istration, $139 million on Interior Departnrent, and
nearly $3 million on District of Columbia,
House Appropriation Committee has completed
action on four other money bills, recommending cuts
of $439 million more. Full House will soon begin
voting on these measures. But the total indicated
savings of $1.5 billion on all nine money bills is
only 10 percent of the sls billion budget estinrates
requested by President Truman.
If similar cuts were applied across the board on
the SBS billion budget, it would be reduced to $76.5
billion for a saving of $8.5 billion.
This is still $5 billion above estimated tax receipts
of s7l billion for next year. House Appropriations
Committee had recommended that the whopping
big ssl billion military budget be cut by only $4
billion, or only eight percent. But these cuts aren’t
final. Senate has not yet acted on any appripriation
bill,
In a world dominated by cynicism and material=-
ism, we need a resurgence of quiet determined faith
that cannot be touched by physical force. — Senator
Margaret Chase Smith (R.-Maine).
What good would it do %o have well-equipped
American divisions fighting side by side with in
adequately armed allied divisions?—Thomas Fin=
letter, secretary of the Air Force, defending Mutual
Security program for allies. %
The failure of many Americans to achieve char=-
acter traits through education, habit, and self
discipline, seenrs to me to be a basic cause of many
of our current difficulties as a nation.—Milton S.
Eisenhower, p resident, Pennsylvania State College.
Eisenhower . . . is a man of probity and com
mon sense, As President, the man who has been
trained in the less sophisticated field of military
experiense and has known no other would have to
prove himself anew. It would surely be a bold chal
lenge to fate.—A. J. Cumnrings, British newspaper

Soil Analysis In Production Line
Speed Dream of Soil Scientists
Agricultural scientists are say
ing a long-cherished dream will
some day become reality, That
dream is for a nation-wide serv‘xfe
for analyzing the mineral content
of soils and crops with the speed
and economy of the production
line,
To farmers, this could mean
more and better crops and live
stock. And with these, more in
come. To doctors and nutrition
ists, it could contribute new in
formation for use in attack at the
source of the problem of disease
and malnutrition.
To the country as a whole, it
could eventually mean more food
and better health for every man,
woman, and child. To the world
at large, the idea of a national
soil and crop analysis service, if
extended to other countries, could
mean a ¥brake” for stemming the
tide of hunger and unrest which
promotes unrest and world con
flict.
The need for knowing more
about the mineral content of soils
and foods is discussed by Dr.
Clyde Williams in the current is
sue of “The Land News,” one of
the official publications of Friends
of the Land, points out that nearly
a score of different mineral ele-

a few parts per million of these is
all that stands between us and ill
health.
There is increasing evidence
that the health of people is direct
ly associated with the condition
of the soil which sustains them,
the Battle Director says. “Such
evidence, for example, may be
seen in the iodine-deficient goiter
belt of Minnesota and adjacent
territory; in the high incidence of
anemia in Florida children where
the soil is deficient in iron, cop
per, and cobalt; and in the cor
relation between health and soil
fertility in different parts of In
dia.
“Some of the necessary ele
ments have never been adequately
present in many of our soils. Con
versely, some soils originally con
tained sufficient supplies of all
needed elements, but these have
been lost through erosion, or
through continued ecropping with
no attempt made to return re
moved nutrients to the soil.”
All types of agricultural re
search have their places in solv
ing the overall food problems, Dr.
Williams points out. Much pro
gress has already been made in
the mechanization of farming, in
the creation of better types and
uses of crops and livestock, and in
crop protection. Unconventional
methods of ingreasing our food
supply such as exploiting the re
sources of the sea are being ex
plored. Soil improvement, how
ever, is perhaps the most basic of
all at the present time. “Our
health, even our survival in a free
world, rests on the most funda
mental physical need of man—
adequate nutrition. This can be
ours only if it stems from soils
that are not minerally deficient.”
It is estimated that cars of coal
moving on U, S. railroads in any
one winter day would form a train
long enough to stretch from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexi
