All Eyes Focus On Ex-Mrs.
Sievenson; Look For
Folifical Import In Her Poems
e e
' WASHINGTON, — (NEA) — The word having
gone out that Governor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois
had solved his “personal problems” in such a way
that he could accept a Democratic draft for the
presidential momination, attention is being focussed
on his ex-wife, the mother of his three sons.
The governor's divorce has been cited by some
political experts as a flaw in his otherwise excellent
record. :
Murs, Stevenson is portraysd as preferring poetry
to politics. Libraries, however, fail to reveal that
any great amount of her poetry has been published.
Poetry Magazine in 1928 carried a collection of her
poesss under the title of “Songs.”
Laddes’ Mome Journal in April, 1949, carried a
poem by Ellen Borden, Mrs. Stevenson’s maiden
and pen name. It was printed in a neat little box
back on page 187. The title was “Modern Woman.”
Political writers probably shouldn’t try to inter
prct medern poetry, being as futile at that as try
ing to interpret modern woman.
Anyway, the two limericks and a quatrain mak
ing up Ellen Borden’s last published work are now
being carefully read between the lines to see what
political significance they hold, or what they con
tribute to a psychoanalytical explation of why she
doesn’t want to live in the White House. This is the
poems:
They say I'm distracted and lost.
1 think I'nr impacted and bossed
When I was a kid | '
They ruined my id
80 now I raise Cain when I'm crossed.
(Note—An *“id,” it might be explained, is the
psychoanalytical term for the fundamental mass of
lif> tendencies, out of which the ego and libido de
velop. The ego—see below—is the self-assertive
tendency. The libido is the primal instinct, referred
to by the Freudians as the sex instinct to live. Now
back to the poem.)
1 emote with a speed SL:pgx'sonic.
I'm sadly in need of a tonic,
1 envy the peace
Of the ancients of Greece.
O Plato, please make me Platonic.
All. 1 can do is doubt.
I'mr getting much too thin,
My ego is too far out.
My id is too far in. T
VETERANS' GROUPS SEE NO G. L. ISSUES
Leaders in the veterans’' organizations figure
there is no big issue this year that would influence
the soldier and ex-G. 1. vote one way or another.
* The Korean G. I. Bill will eventually get through
Congress, with good support from both parties. Uni
versal military service, which veterans’ organiza=
tions have been actively supporting for years, was
killed by Congress. But again it was not the work
of any one party.
Veterans were given cost-of-living increases on
pensions and disability allowances, to cost about
S4OO million a year. So there’s nothing much to
pripe about.
BOWLES LIKES HOT WATER
Ex-Governor Chester Bowles of Connecticut,
back home for the Democratic state convention, re
vealed that he would make no tight for the nomi
nation to serve another term as the Nutmeg State's
chief executive.
Further, he said he hadn’t mnade up his mind and
couldn’'t make up his mind whether he'd take the
nomination even if it was offered to him.
Bowles talked to the Democratic state convention
mostly about India, where he now serves as U. S.
ambassador. He likes that job, but he's in just as
much hot water there as when he was in the State
House in Hartford, or running OPA in Washington,
In India it's the Communists who are after him.
Moscow radio not long ago had attacks on his In
dian program seven days in a row, he boasted.
VICTORY WITHOUT ATTACK
From Raleigh comes the siory of how North Car
olina’s 32 delegates were kept fromr being pledged
solidly for Senator Richard Russell of Georgia.
While Russell’s supporters were urging all-out
support for the senator as Democratic presidential
nominee, a man in horn-rimmed glasses and a coon~-
skin cap circulated around the Democratic state
convention floor, shaking hands. The delegates
watched him instead of the speakers.
When they were through talking the man in the
cap and glasses leaped to the stage, took off his dis
guise and made a simple motion for an uninstructed
delegation.,
He got 10% of the delegates’ votes for Kefauver
without making a speech un his behalf and withaut
attacking Russell. Senator Russell got 19 and the
rest were scattered between Harriman, Barkley and
Stevenson.

UN Pressure Needed To Aler
Rhee's Autocratic Domination
United Nations statesmen and military leaders
may be baffled as to what to expect next, both in
the truce talks and on the battlefield in Korea.
These matters, to put it mildly, are not wholly in
their hands. But the UN need not be so puzzled
about the course of internal affaies in Korea.
They are in dismal shape. President Syngman
Rhee of Seuth Korea, who is supposed to be the
leader of a republic, is behaving like a dictator.
Only the thinnest veneer of democratic form covers
his arrogantly undemocratic performance,
Recently supporters of Rhee in the Korean Nat
ional Assembly jammed through a resolution by a
vote of 61 to 0, extending the President’s term until
a successor is elected and shall take office, Appar
ently that now means August 15, since a subsequent
resolution fixed that date for an election.
But the Korean Constituticn requires that the
President be elected 30 days before the current
term expires, which means balloting should have
taken place June 24, Rhee is thus setting aside the
provisions of the Constitution to suit his own pur
poses. What he does once, he nray do again.
Where was Rhee’s opposition in the Assembly
question? Thirty-seven opponents were present but
chose not to vote. Eleven are in jail—put there by
Rhee. Another 74 simply stayed away.
This Assembly action was the climax of Rhee’s
growing effort to snuff out his oppeosition and keep
a stranglehold on the “free” Korean government.
Only sharp protest from the United States pre
vented him from jailing other Assembly members
in wholesale. fashion,
As it is, he has clamped a rigid censorship on
the country, even barring the Voice of America be
cause he deems it unfriendly.
The path of wisdom for the UN in this situation
is not easy to discern. Korea sadly lacks developing
leadership which might be groomed and sponsored
to replace Rhee’s reactionary government. ;
A country oppressed for decades by a foreign foe,
as the Korean nation was by Japan, cannot sud
denly emerge from slavery with full-blown, well
trained leaders.
For the short run, about all the United States
and other powers can do is exert more pressure on
Rhee to allow normal elective processes to operate
in Korea. Any further demonstrations of autoecratic
behavior would carry with them the danger of
mounting internal stresses und a possible political
explosion in South Korea.
And where would be the noble purpose in a war
fought to save South Korea against Conrmunist
tyranny, if it were merely to preserve that land for
the uninhibited exercise of another kind of tyranny?
Everywhere in the world, men with aspirations
toward freedom would look upon such a war with
thorough skepticism.
It is our sincere purpose to stay out of other
countries’ internal affairs. But we cannot sit quietly
by while a nation we are defending against slavery
begins employing some of the very devices of
slavery we are combatting.
To disturb the even flow of graduation compli
ments is an ungrateful task, but the Commerce and
Industry Association of New York has not hesitated
to perform it. Perhaps good will come of it, although
Dr. William Jansen, New York superintendent of
schools—whose face is doubtless a bit red—is in
clined to dismiss the association’s report as a mere
“opinion survey.”
What the Commerce and Industry Association
reports is that most high school graduate applicants
for jobs in business cannot write, cannot spell,
cannot add, expect too high a starting wage and
too rapid advancement. However, the graduates are
willing to work. It seems to be a case of the spirit
being willing, the preparation weak.
Questions were put to employers, who were
asked to rate high school recruits on basic training
and education in reading, writing, arithmetie,
spelling and gramnrar. The companies scored the
recruits ag follows:
Reading, 68 percent; writing, 45; arithmetic, 46;
spelling, 18; grammar, 28; willingness to work, 84.
Perhaps Dr. Jansen will reexamine high school
curricula, although his first impulse is to dismiss
the ratings as those of “slow learners,” for whom
more teachers and more funds are required. That
doesn’t sound reasonable. '
There is, at all events, consolation in the figures.
A high school graduate might score close to 100 on
all subjects, but without willingness to work he
would be a poor business prospect. Some nmrodern
industrial giants had little else to start with.
Americans cannot have failed to notice the recent
step-up in military activity along the Korean front.
Dispatches suggest this was an important probing
action by the Chinese and North Korean Reds, who
were seeking to test the strength of our present de
fenses and the speed of our response.
If they thought to find us soft or slow, they have
been grievously disappointed. We not only repelled
the probing attacks; we pressed the Communists
back beyond their former line and took new
ground of our own.
Much has been made of the big Red build-up
during the nearly 12 months of fruitless truce talks.
There can be no question it is real. But we may be
indulging in dangerous defeatism if we guess there
fore that the Reds may now ue able to throw us off
the Korean peninsula. We have not been idle these
12 months ourselves, and utterly no proof has been
offered that we cannot successfully defend the bulk
of South Korea,

Boyle Advises On Action To Take
For Oldsters Who Suffer Strokes
By HAL BOYLE
A TOWN IN THE WEST, Junel
30— (AP)—The problem of a tre_
mendous number of irtellectual |
children is how to deal bravely
with a parent’s ailment.
The father and the mother do
their best for the children they
love. But they leave no pattern of
comfort behind if death should
suddenly grab them.
One of the most common dis
eases of late middle age is the
stroke—or the heart attack.
One stills the brain—at least
partly. The other stills the heart
pump, the valve of life.
The parent usually doesn’t know
his adventure into mystery be
cause his children do not tell him
the nature of his ailment. Perhaps
the children themselves do not
know,
Every family must have a mafl
like Jim, a man at the peak of his
powers who is suddenly stricken
and becomes helpless, so far as
the use of his muscles is concern
ed. ;
The great hidden drama in
many American families is what
they do with a man who suffers
a stroke. Usually the women of
the family begin to make him
their prisoner by babying him.
That is Jim's problem. He must
go ahead inflicting his views and
personality on a world in which
he cannot run and play, but in
which he has some responsibility.
~ Such is the twilight goal of pow~
er for many men and women who
wield responsibility, and who have
suffered a stroke.
A stroke is an interior lightning
flash that weakens one or the oth
er side of the human body from a
muscular viewpoint and makes the
weak side emotionally dependent
on the side that is not handicap~=
ped.
In other words, if your mother,
in-law suffers a stroke, you should
massage her stricken hand and
make her know you love her. The
extremities of those who are so
afflicted become extremely sen
sitive. Only the calming hand of
love can soothe them in their dis
tress and doubt,
This any member of any family
should, as a labor of affeetion, do
for any relative or friend afflicted
by a stroke.
| The main thing about a person
who has had a stroke is that he
has lost communication with his
ordinary world. He knows that bet
ter than you do. To aid him you
have to help him keep in touch
with the life he has known be
fore. You have to escort him over
the ridge of difference. You have
’ to build a bridge of love between
what he was and what he must
