STRANGE COINCIDENCE
The five Broadway performers
in the “Grand Central Station”
cast for July 5 are, by coincidence,
artists who have achieved success
in other fields and have returned
to acting. To add a second coin
cidence, the title of the drama that
brings them together is “Native’s
Return.”
Scott McKay, who just conclud
ed a run in “First Lady” at New
York’s City Center, oace made a
living as a painter. Gregory Mor
ton, remembered from ‘“Romeo
and Juliet,” was an accomplished
concert violinist. Judith Parish,
from the Theatre Guild's “As You
Like It,” once specialized in set
designing. Florida Friebus, last
seen in “Come Back Little Sheba,”
is a writer, co-authoress with Eva
LeGallienne of the Broadway ver
sion of “Alive In Wonderland.”
Jock MacGregor, from “Lace on
her Petticoat,” directed raidio’s
“Nick Carter” series for many
years.
Hobart ,the capital of Tasmania,
is said to have one of the finest
harbors in the world.

GO}, (o eTN (e TN & A
By JOHN GUNTHER
Written For NEA Service
| The Democratic Party, like the
| Republican Party but more so, is
[ not in strict truth a unified party
fat all, but a jelly-like coalition.
It wraps up in a variegated, loose~
| ly-tied bundle people and interests
|in all states and sections,
The easiest way to prove this, if
proof be needed, is to ask—What
runs it?
| Answers: (a) The so-called
| “solid” South. (b) The urban ma
chines in big northern towns.
' This is as if, let us say, a potion
were to be made of tea and ink.
!As factors in "apparant irrecon
cilability, consider merely that
the white South is overwhelming
ly of Anglo-Saxon Protestant
origin; the great northe; ma
chines rely on voters large{%ath—
olic, foreign born, and descendents
of foreign born.
Or let us ask—Who runs it?
A list of leading Democrats, not
including candidates, will embrace
men like Senator Byrd, who is
to the right of Taft; James F.
Byrnes, who is scarcely on speak
ing terms with his titular leader,
Mr. Truman; Bernard M. Baruch,
a very different type of character
from Byrnes, but one who prob
ably shares the same feeling about
Mr. Truman; old New Dealers like
Supreme Court Justice Douglas
and Senator Lehman of New York;
men who hate the New Deal like
Jim Farley;, antidiluvian city
bosses like Ed Crump in Mem
phis, now in decline; youthful re
formers like men on the Southern
Regional Council; several eminent
millionaire aristocrats; outright
radicals like some members of
the Americans for Democratic Ac
tion; Jewish leaders like Jack
Arvey in Chicago; Catholic lead
ers like Frank Lausche of Ohio;
Eleanor Roosevelt and her sons;
and multitudinous assorted others.
It is almost as if a coalition were
running Europe that consisted of
Stalin, de Gaulle, Marshal Tito,
the papal secretary of state, the
Queen of Greece, Winston Chur
chill, British trade-unionists, Ruhr
industrialists, the socialite who
hires whole French chateaus to
give parties in, and a scattered
array of impoverished Montene
grins, Finns, Slovenes, Slavones,
East Rumelians, and one-eyed
Turks.
¢« * »
What, then, makes power in the
Democratic Party? What holds it
together?
The answer is, firsi, as with aii
political parties, the desire to get
in office and stay there. Second,
as mentioned in the preceding
article, the enormous heritage of
Roosevelt and the fact that FDR
set up a program, to which most
Democrats still give lip service
at least, for doing something for
the common man,
Now take cleavages within the
Democratic Party on specific is
sues. By all odds the most impor
tant is that between North and
South on the civil rights pro
gram.
Roosevelt captured the bulk of
the Negro vote in the North, and
Truman has consolidated this. Ne
groes, it is manifest, carry the
balance of power in a consider
able number of closely contested
northern communities; the Negro
vote can be decisive, and northern
Democrats cannot afford to lose it.
For instance in 1948 Truman
carried Illinois by the minuscule
margin of 33,612, And it just hap
pened that Truman’s majority in
three predominantly Negro wards
in Chicago was 50,012. Truman
carried Ohio by 7107. In Cleve
land alone, in six heavily negro
wards, his majority was 14,713.
So without the negro vote, Tru
man would have lost both these
crucial states.
® & »
Hence, by and large, northern
Democrats support F. E. P, C. and
other programs for negro better
ment. Southern Democrats, as ev
erybody knows, refuse vigorously
to do so, and fight F. E. P. C, with
intense passion.
The total negro vote in 1948
was roughly 3%; million, of which
approximately 70 per cent was
for Truman. In 1952 the total
negro vote will be substantially
more, possibly around 5 million.
There will probably be some 2
million negro voters in the South
alone this year, a figure that
would have seemed inconceivable
even four years ago. And most
will be moved inexorably by what
line candidates take on civil rights.
The (white) southern vote is, it
goes without saying, vital to any
Democratic candidate, too. It is

true that Roosevelt would have
won every time he ran even if
he had lost the entire South each
time, and Truman won in 1948
even though he lost South Caro
lina, Mississippi, Alabama, and
Louisiana to the Dixiecrats.
What counts is that the South
is such a nice, comforting nest
egg of electoral votes. Nofmally.
the Democratic nominee starts out
with these votes snugly in his
pocket, and will need to pick up
only northern sta.tes to win,
+ -
Eisenhower and Taft have both
come out against a compulsory
F. E. P. C. Therefore both may
have alienated the negro vote on
the touchstone issue. What claim
either might have on anti-admin
istration white Democrats must
largely depend upon other factors.
Some negroes have not forgiven
Eisenhower for his testimony be
fore the Senate Armed Services
Committee in 1948, when, closely
questioned by Senator Russell, he
supported segregation of negroes
in the armed services.
The South is in a state of flux.
Many responsible Democrats,
strange as it may seem, hope for
a sizeable Republican vote in the
South this year—provided, of
course, that it is not too sizeable.
Their reasoning is that the com
petition of the Republicans will
end the tyranny of the ancient
fuddy-duddies in their ranks,
break things up, and liberalize
the southern wing of the party.
Another Democratic cleavage
that may play some role this year
is that between isolationists and
internationalists. But compara
tively few prominent Democrats—
except in the Far West—are iso=
lationists. The South, though con
servative domestically, is mostly
on the international side.

—(AP) — Harris Mullis, whose
prison career started at the age of

He was ordered put to death in

On the civil docket, meanwhile,
the tribunal refused to budge
irom a previous ruling that news
paper presses, paper, ink and other
machinery and equipment used in
publishing are exempt from Ala
bama’s 3 per cent use tax.
The convicted killers ordered
electrocuted besides Mullis are:
Desmond Miles of Roberta, Ga.,
sentenced to death for the slaying
of his fishing companion, James
Altonhill, 45, of Roberta, near An

and the court today merely denied
a rehearing. Date of death was left
at Aug. 1. /

Local Director |
Reviews Points
Of Rent Laws
Tenants in Athens most fre
quently seek protection from the
local area rent office against ille
gal evictions, reductions in servi
ces and rent overcharges. The
principal complaints of landlords
are that tenants are wantonly or
carelessly damaging the property
they are renting, that they main
tain a nuisance on the property or
that they fail to pay rent on time.
That is the way Area Rent
Director James W, Mills reviewed
Z)e situation today after 10 months
of operation under the amended
federal rent stabilization program
approved by Congress last July
31. The Rent Director pointed out
that both he and the local Rent
Advisory Board try to be as fair
and impartial as is humanly pos
sible in dealing with landlords
and tenants even though not all
the situations that reach the area
rent office are simpie.
For example, a landlord has a
legitimate grievance against a
tenant who sub-leases without
notifying him if the rental agree
ment provides that the landlord
shall be notified. A tenant who
seeks redress on a claim of over
charge may claim either that
rents have been raised or that his
landlord has reduced his services
while keeping the rent unchanged.
But to prove the second allegation
isn’t always easy.
“What many tenants forget, is
that they cannot clainr any servi
ces that were not required to be
provided by the landlord under
the rent regulations,” Mr. Mills
explained.
“However, if the land¥ord has
reduced o: eliminated required
services the area rent office has
the power either to get the service
restored or the rent reduced.
“The rent law gives protection
against illegal convictions and it
spells out pretty specifically what
is meant by illegal,” he added.
“For example, a tenant may not

landlord wants to offer the prop

friends or relatives in the unit.
There is ain exception here. The
landlord may evict to provide a
vacant unit for his parents or his
child.”
in addition to maintaining a
nuisance, which is one important
greund on which landlords legally
may evict, the use of the dwelling
unit for illegal or immoral pur
poses is also a ground for eviction,
the Area Rent Director said.
Eviction aiso is legal for non
payment cos legal rent.

THE STORY: Dr. Basil Willing
has trailed an impostor to a party
at the home of another psychia
trist, Dr, Zimmer. When Basil
talks to the little man who has
been using his mame, the faker
asks for a chance to explain. Basil
does not reveal his identity to the
host, but accompanies the impos
ter to a case. But before the man
can explain he dies talking about
a place where “no bird sang.”

Dr. Zimmer'came into the room.
A dark silk dressing gown, its belt
tightly clinched at the waist, set
off his broad shoulders and long
flanks. Basil spoke first.
“This is Inspector Foyle, Dr.
Zimmer. I am Basil Willing.”
Zimmer smiled with sudden
amusement. “Just how many Dr.
Willings are there?”
“This is the real Dr. Willing.”
Foyle showed his badge to Zim
mer. “The other Willing was the
impostor.”
“And you were the one I picked
as a faker!” Zimmer’s smile faded.
“It must “be a serious matter if
the police are taking it up.”
“It is serious,” said Foyle.
“Murder.” g
Zimmer himself took the wing
chair beside the hearth now cold
and bare. “It's hard to believe that
little man capable of murder.”
“He wasn't the murderer,” said
Basil. “He was the victim. And he
died half an hour after he left
your house. I was with him. He
showed the usual symptoms of
alkaloid poisoning. False gaiety
and physical relaxation, followed
by drowsiness and mental confu
sion.”
“Morphine?”
“Or its methyl compound, co
deine.”
“You're a doctor of medicine?”
put in Foyle.
“Yes. Like Dr. Willing, T spe
cialize in psychiatry.” Zimmer
turned back to Basil. “I'm sure
you will agree that in some cases
morphine produces lethargy and
coma, while in others it causes
delirium and convulsions. You
can’t even rely on the time ele
ment.”
“Most murderers are not me
dical men,” responded Basil. “And
in either case—morphine or co
deine—one thing is fairly certain:
the first symptoms of a fatal dose
appear in 20 20 20 minutes.”

This time Zimmer’s smile was
rueful. “You are thinking of the
cocktails he drank here.”
Zimmer turned to Foyle. “As
Dr. Willing will tell you, all the
cocktails came out of one silver
pitcher. So, if he were poisoned
here, it must have been after his
own glass®was filled.” 4
“Each glass was a different
color,” Basil explained to Foyle.
“So once he had taken his glass, it
could always be identified as his.”
‘“He was standing alone when
Otto served him his first cocktail,”
said Zimmer. “The only people
near him while he was drinking
the second were Mrs. Yorke
and. . .
“Myself?” Basil smiled. “It
doesn’t have to be Mrs. ¥orke or
me. He left his cocktail on a table
for several minutes while he was
talking to us and then finished
it. Anyone might have passed
that table except Miss Shaw and
you. I was watching you both
at the time.”
“Are you sure he wasn’t poi
soned before he came here?” sug-

gested Zimmer,
Basil shook his head. “The first
symptom appeared as he and |
left the house and walked toward
the avenue—a rather foolish ey
phoria. He had been here at least
30 minutes. He was poisoned
here.”
“But that’s quite impossible'
protested Zim mer earnestly.
“None of my guests is capable of
such a thing. Perhaps he mistook
some sleeping pills he had {or
vitamin capsules or some other
medicine he was in the habit of
taking before dinner. Who would
want to kill a man like that, any
way?” .
“A man like what?” demanded
Foyle. “That’s the other reason
we're here: we have no idea who
or what he was.”
“lI was speaking in genera)
terms. I meant a man who stemed
so timid and inoffensive. I never
had seen him before tonight.”
“How did you happen to invite
him to dinner?”
“He came as a guest of another
guest. Miss Katherine Shaw.”
Zimmer said.
Basil's attention kindled. “The
elderly lady who is lame and
blind?"” ;
“Yes. She spoke to you,didn’t
she?” Zimmer grew thoughtful.
“She was sitting here by the fire
when you first came in. She mus
have heard me say I identified you
by a process of elimination. Dic
she mistake you for the man she
had invited as Willing?”
* * =
Basil nodded. “Probably. She
told me my voice was differen
tonight. Afterward she lookec
quite ill with shock when =
thirteenth guest was announced as
Willing.”
“I remember,” said Zimmer.
“She was so surprised she droppec
her stick and I picked it up. She
asked me who you were then. |
didn’t want to worry her by tell
ing her there was a gate-crasher
in the room so I told her you were
a friend of my sister’s.”
“Did she know that I and the
other Willing left the house before
dinner?”’
“She discovered it. At table she
asked me where Dr. Willing was
sitting. I told her he had been
called to his hospital. Then she
asked me what had become of my
sister’s friend. I told her that he
was not at dinner—that hehad
just dropped in for a cocktail.
She spoke as if she honestly be
lieved the impostor was Dr. Will
ing—or am I imagining that?”
“But why would an impostor
wish to pass himself off as Basil
Willing to anyone like -Miss
Shaw?” Foyle was thinking alouc.
Zimmer sighed. “I suppose you
will have to question her, but—
pleasure spare her as much as you
can. She’s 86 years old, climging
to life by sheer force of will.”
