Ausley, 222 Fontaine Drive, Themasviile, Ga. \0 4 ai! : P d' /e Can't Use Eean to Predict i '-! . :lections Before Conventions BY PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Louis H. Bean, who wrote “How to Predict Elections” in 1948 and “The Mid-Term Battle” in 1950, says he isn’t going to write @ bock this election year. Not yet, anyway. His reason is that there just aren’'t any exact or scientific methods of predicting what’s going to hap pen at 8 presidential nominating convention. After the conventions are over, the situation might be different. Dr. Bean insists that he never makes predictions, Nevertheless, before the congressional elections of 1950, he came up with facts which led to the con clusion that the Republicans would gain from 25 to 30 seats in the House of Representatives. This state ment was made in April. I Movember the Repub licans gained 27 seats. Which was pretty close, even if it wasn’t & prediction. Louig Bean is a Department of Agriculture econ omist and statistician by orofession. But some years a:o he became interested in the study of election r2turns. Be decided to analyze them to see if they indicated any trends. He found they did. The result was his first book, “How to Predict Elections,” published beforz the Truman-Dewey race four years ago. In it he revealed his statistics to support the evidence of a national Democratic trend. 1f that trend continued, a Democratic presi dent would be elected. - Bean d¢id not make the p rediction that Truman would be €lected. But, as one wag observed, “If he had read his own book, he could have made that prediction and .been right, where everybody else was wrong.” . o TOO MANY IMPONDERABLES RUIN PREDICTIONS In this pre-convention season of 1952, however, Dr. Bean says there are too many inrponderables to make any such predictions. There are too many candidates in the field, Personalities are more im- portant right now than issues, and there is no way to measure the relative strengths of personalities exept by & poll. Polls aren’t always reliable. Some of the states have primaries and some don't. There is no way to make a sta?,i.stical chart or a sraph 1o show how a state political convention will bahave. Other unpredictable factors are involved. Will there be a series of strikes? Will the cost of living continue to rise? Or will there be a mild business slump? How mwuch of a factor will be the charges of crin®e and corruption in government be in the No vember elections? How much of a factor will the charges of communism in government be? What will be the political effect at home of an armistice agreement—or continued war in Korea? In general, it has been Dr. Bean's observation that foreign policy issues tend to cancel out in their iniluence on American election results. Outbreak of the Korean war in July, 1950, for instance, had no appreciable effect on the November election re sults. Some pecple side one way in support of a for eign policy issue. Some side the other way. Their influences offset each other. DEPRESSION WOULD HAVE ; POLITICAL EFFECTS If a real cdepression were to hit the United States, however, it would affect both employers and em ploves, procducers and consumers. It would have a tremendous political effect.” That was what hap pened in 19832, There are two factors which Louis Bean puts the finger on as giving the Democrats an advantage over their 1948 position. One is that there is no Progressive Party movement this year. That drew from the Democratic strength in 1948. The other is that there is much less chance of a Dixiecrat split. The Republicans wilt have to overcome those ad vantages in 1952. The 20-year political trend which statistician Bean finds is that roughly 55 percent of the voters have been voting Democratic, 45 percent Republi can, If this tide continues, it is conceivable that a Democratic presidential candidate could be elected. Or, if the trend is reversed insefar as the presi dency is concerned, Dr. Bean still considers it pos sible that 2 Democratic Senate and possibly a Dem ocratic House could be elected along with a Repub lican president, He makes clear that he isn’t pre dicting that. He just says it’s possible. The Senate is now divided 50 Democrats, 46 Re publicans, Thirteen Dernocratic senators are up for re-election—seven in the South, six in the North. The 18 Republican seats at stake are all from the North, where the margins are narrow and the chances of &n upset are more likely. The House is now divided 231 Democrats, 200 Republicans, one independert and three vacancies. The Republicans must win 18 House seats to gain control, We are winning the cold war and I fear very much that if Congress goes the way it has been going we may lose it.—President Truman. : I" e always felt that the last place you've been is tt “vaest to leave,—Mrs. Dwight D, Eisenhower.

More Stable For Task Ahead, Europe Is Bad News to Soviet Fromr George Sloan, head of the U. S. Council of the International Chamber of Commerce, we get a refreshingly optimistic report of the economic con dition of Western Europe. Just back from a meeting with foreign business men in Paris, Sloan says only Greece and Austria are currently plagued by a critical inflation, In other countries, a new element of stability seems to have entered the picture. £ France especially is adjudged to have moved several steps ahead toward a sounder economy. And Sloan found that even Britain was not so bad off as sonre recent gloomy accounts have suggested. He found a genergl mood of confidence, a belief that real progress had been made and more soon would be. He discovered, too, that emphasis had been shifted from production alone to include the whole economie structure. Europeans appear to have a new appreciation of the need for a broadly stable economic life. To what does Sloan ascribe this improvement? Primarily to the cumulative effects of American assistance, which has proved sufficiently steady and ample to convince most Europeans that we intend to see them through to recovery and to assure their real defense against communism, In this regard, Sloan learned that General Eisen hower had been a great factor for strengthened morale. He breathed optimism and confidence, and it was infectious. Sloan indicated, too, that we have been applying our policy of aid in Europe with sharper aim in recent months. There has been keener understand ing of what needed to be done to produce lasting gains in the European economy. Naturally the continent has benefitted also from new leadership among the recipient countries, mest particularly from the program of Premier Pinay in France. There are those who say Pinay has given France its best government since the war ended. It would be wrong to overlook, however, a nega tive element that has worked favorably. The de fense production goals of majcr Western nations have been pushed back, as compared with earlier deadlines. This “stretch-out” has served to ease the burdens of the moment. So what it amounts to is this:: Europe is being asked to do less than was originally called for. And it is in much better shape, both production-wise and in rorale, to perform the economic and defense tasks newly assigned to :. £ All this is bad news for the Soviet Union. Free nations moving soundly and confidently toward greater strength are the best assurance we can have that' Russia will be deterred from its persistent notions of conquest. Medical School Aid How to keep the nation’s 79 medical schools going when prospects of further endowment grow slimmer and slimmer and the cost of educating a doctor rises to $7,000 more than he pays in tuition is a serious problem, indeed. It is, of course, a phase of the more widespread difficulties which beset the privately endowed colleges and universities throughout the country. President Dodds of Prince ton recently pleaded that they be maintained as “islands of independence without political account ability,” so that education ~ould renvain unfettered by dependence on federal subsidy. Fortunately for the medical schools, there is already established a Natioral Fund for Medical Education, which last year made “preliminary grants” of $1,600,000. And yet, if these. schools are not to depend upon Federal subsidy and be under bureaucratic control, they cannot depend upon the ebb and flow of contributions by the public, but must have assurance of dependable year-to-year income. That is the objective of the Committee of American Industry for this national fund, whose chairman, Colby M. Chester, has mailed appeals to 17,000 corporations, seeking to enlist their support. Says Mr, Chester “Government intervention into this traditionally private field could spell tne kiss of death for aca demic freedonmr and would most assuredly add to the alarming degree of Sccialism that is ours in America today.” S. Sloan Colt,, president of the fund, insisted that without enough competent doctors—we need more now than ever before—the geins of medical research in recent years “will be minimized if not entirely nullified.” The 79 medical schools have been graduating 6,000 doctors a year and giving refresher courses to 23,000 others to keep them abreast with recent progress of medical science. Back of this movement can clearly be seen the fear that Federal subsidy to medical education would be the entering wedge for socialized medi cine like that in Great Britain, It seems doubtful that the Army, within our generation, will ever be less than three or four times its pre-war size. — Secretary of the Army Frank Pace, Women’s matches and team wrestling have re moved the real comrpetitive spirit.

The twilight of Far Eastern manhood was forecast in a recent dispatch from -Futakawa village on the Japanese island of Honshu. The village elders, bowing toc changing times, voted that women were to have a holiday the 15th of each month, on which day men will wash, cook, and do all the other household chores, In a lame justification of this retreat from traditional masculine authority, the elders told the wo men they were expected to use their holidays to “elevate their cultural standards.” But if they really think Mama san is going to spend her new leisure studying flower arrange ments—well, they just don’t know Mama-san. I will lay these village wise men 3-to-1-oodds that before the yvear is out Mama-san will be go ing into politics, organizing soft ball teams, and learning to play canasta and blow smoke rings through her nose. The adds are heavy also that - Mama-san will live up to an old Western proverb holding that if you give a woman an inch she will take a mile. “Why should we have a holiday just once a month?” she will ask. “et’s put one foot down, girls, and get a holiday every week, plus half a day off on Sunday.” And before long Papa-san will be doing the dishes and diapers in dear old Futakawa, while Mama san runs for public office to oust the village elders who voted her the first holiday. But the step has been taken, and there can be no turning back. Japanese men lost the second world war abroad. Now they are losing the war at home, ‘“the kimcena rebellion” by which wo men are gaining what they euphe mistically call “equal rights.” | But the successful revolt of Mama-san will give her new du ties and insecurities. Many a wo~ man may later wonder in Japan, as many do now in America, whether her new freedom really gives her more stature in terms of DUE TO MALARIA 2 66 6 made with .
