~ Loser Taft Might Be Winner,
" 1f Old Guard Blocks 'Crusade’
BY PETER EDSON
i NEA Washkington Correspondent
CHICAGO~(NEA)—They should have tried air
sond tioning em Republican national conventions
beiore,
A breath of fresh political air swept through the
stockyards amwphitheater here when Dwight Eisen
hower was naninated as Republican candidate for
she presidency, When it was all over on the first
ballot, the GOP’s southern organizations and the
©ld Guard Jooked to be on the skids.
The trouble is that in the last three Republican
sonventions, the Old Guard was handed similar
Wefeats. Twiee by Governor Thomas E. Dewey of
New York, onge by Wendell Willkie of Indiana and
¥Wall Street.” And when these candidates were dee -
deated, the Old Guard serenely moved back into
place and took over control of the Republican
party machiuery again,
The Old Guard, like old soldiers, never dies.
Whether they will fade away for good this time
sermains to be seen,
The only sensib’e course now being recommended
% the Old Guard is to join what Mr. Eisenhower
call; his new “great crusade.” The alternative is to
go ol in & vorner and sulk, continue its mad, take
no Lart in the campaign, not vote—and to give the
piesidency te the Democrats again by default in
No - ember,
Soure «of Senator Taft's loyal, hard corps of die
hard delegates, as they left Chicago, were threaten
ing “lo take @ good look at the candidate to be
choen by the Democrats” here in Chicago soon.
HANGOVER OF DEFEAT EXPECTED TO WANE
" I’s bangover of despair in defeat is expected to
di.nish somewhat, however, after the losing dele
g2 s get home.
"he prospecis of Senators Taft, Dirksen, Bricker,
Kean, Cain, McCarthy and Representatives Clarence
Brown of Ohio or Carroll Neece of Tennessee ever
voi nz Democratic is impossible to conceive,
What this group would become, however, in case
Gereral Eisenhower should win the election, is a
hord core of “Northern Dixiecrats” for lack of a
beiizr name.
“hey would be the opposition, within the party,
to the “program of progressive policies,” which
General Eisenhower called for in his speech accept
ing the nomination. This Republican opposition,
vo.ing with the Democrats, could comrpletely stymie
the Eisenhower program.
~1 such an effort, Senator Taft, the loser at Chi
¢2 ), might become the winner.
i 1 the last hours of the Republican convention,
"Ren. Walter Judd of Minnessta tired hard to make
senator Taft the vice-presidential candidate, Gen
era! Eisenhower apparently turned it down. And
Senator Taft also turned it down.
"~ he “morning-after” feeling in Chicago is that
th s was just as well. While it might have helped
unite the divided Republican ranks and made an
appealing ticket, the combination just wouldn’t
ha.e worked.
Fi 'L NIXON DOESN'T STRENGTHEN TICKET
iastead, General Eisenhower chose as his run
ninz mate young Senator Richard Nixon of Cali
fornia, The general congratulated the convention on
this choice. But it was his idea. .
““he convention would probably never have
thought of Senator Nixon if it had been left to its
own strange devices, While Senator Nixon is gen
erally regarded as a nice young guy, it is the opin
jon of many political observers that he does not
strengthen the ticket.
" he story behind the selection is that Paul Hoff
maon, one of the general's closest advisers, is a strong
believer in youth, He has a great enthusiasm for
the young people of today and he bas imparted
much of this feeling to General Eisenhower.
Senator Nixon was picked because the general
re arded him as a symbol behind which the young
folks could be recruited into the Republican party,
as replacements for the Old Guard.
The most important postscript on the Republican
convention is that, a week before, Senator Taft had
the presidential nomination within his grasp. He
lost it through a series of blunders in the conven
tion by hie own generals, principally David S.
Ingalls, his cousin and campsign manager.
The intense *“hate Dewey” campaign which the
Taft organization launched in the Jast hours of the
convention backfired complctely. If there is any
riit left in the Republican ranks that needs healing,
it is this hatred of Governor Dewey which has now
been implanted so firmly in the Midwestern mind.
With fiendish cleverness they (the Communists)

ligious division, — Senator Estes Kefauver (D.-

Loud Voice Needed To Answer

Russia’s "Hate America’ Drive
By now the world ought to be used to a Russian
veto whenéver the Reds find themselves defeated
in the United Nations Security Council.
7t happened again when the Russians were faced
with an overwhelming blast, backed by nine of the
11 member nations in the Council, against Com
meunist charges that our forces used germ warfare
in Korea,
The veto by Jacob Malik, the 50th the Soviets
ha—e used, was a great surprise to almost no one.
And therein lies its greaiest danger.
in the U. S, particularly, raost of us have prob
ably shrugged off Malik’s veto as just what was to
be expected-—as something like a little boy’s reac
tion to being caught smoking behind the barn.
Unfortunately, not all the rest of the world will
shrug off the veto—or what Russia said in explain
ing it—so easily.
Pakistan, for instance, abstained from voting.
The reason, said Pakistan’s delegate, was frustra
tion, Either the U. S. had used germs, he declared,
in which case the Asiatic people were facing horri
ble perils; or the Russians were lying, in which case
the Asiatics were being bamboozled.
Since a previous Malik veto had wiped out any
c¢hance of an impartial investigation of Russia’s
charges, the man from Pakistan argued, how could
he—or the rest of Asia—tell which side to believe?
Pakistan’s frustration is not isolated. Russia is
making a louder noise, and getting a bigger audi
ence, than we are in either Europe or Asia.
Zeon Dennen, NEA’s roving correspondent in
Europe, who gives coverage to the Banner-Herald,
and an expert on the devious ways of the Kremlin,
reported the other day that Russia’s “Hate Amer
ica” camrpaign was going great guns because we
don't seem to be doing anything to answer it.
We have untold numbers of government special
ists, better known as press agents, all over Europe.
But, as Dennen concluded after a survey of a num
ber of nations, these U, S. tub-thumpers seem to be
keeping virtually mute.
The little people of the world don’'t pay much
attention to what goes on in the UN. And they do
not always understand a Russian veto, as Pakis
tan’s frustration has clearly shown.
What we need is a loudcr voice, not necessarily
in the UN, and certainly not in the form of silent
government press agents abroad.
The Voice of America cannot talk softly—unless
we want to be drowned out by the masters of
screaming nonsense. .

Fiscal Probiem
Federal budgeting is enormously complicated un
der present conditions. With the need also of com
plicating the job so far in advance of a new fiscal
year, allowances must be made for discrepancies
between Budget Bureau estimates and actual re
sults. But for years receipts have been underesti
mated and expenditures overestimated so regularly
as to make it appear due to a fixed habit rather
than miscalculation.
With the closing of another fiscal year, a slight
change in the long-standing patterns as to estimates
is that government receipts of $62,129,000,000 were
$550,000,000 below the predicted figure of last Jan
uary. With expenditures there was no reversal in
the pattern. They totaled $66,145,000,000, or $4,-
736,000,000 less than the administration said they
would be. ' .
Thus the government winds up the year with a
delicit of a little more than $4,000,000,000 as conr
pared to $8,500,000,000 President Truman told Con
gress in January to expect.
As always heretofore, plausible reasons are offer
ed for the wide discrepancy between the two sums,
but the unalterable fact is that the rate of spending
was billions less than the administration antici
pated.
But the better financial showing than was count
ed upon is small comfort for the future, in face of
the huge backlog of spending authority that has
accumnulated. In the last three years Congress has
appropriated $223,000,000,000, of which $151,000,-
000,000 has been spent, leaving® a balance of $72,-
000,000,000.
The significance of the latter figure is that it
represents the carry-over available for sbending for
the purposes authorized, in addition to the billions
already appropriated or still to be appropriated by
Congress for the fiscal year just begun. Thus it is
almost certain that expenditures in the next 12
months will be larger than they were in the last 12
and will be maintained at a high level indefinitely.
It's a grim fiscal outlook, with the administra
tion exhibiting no effort to economize, but insisting
on higher and higher taxes, and with the congres
sional majority weakening, rather than strengthen
ing, the means of keeping the economy stabilized.
Old Sea Glory Flies With
.
New Liner
In the days when clipper ships slid down the ways
of New England shipyards and set their courses for
the seven seas, America’s merchant marine ruled
the seas. When the clippers were relegated to limbo
by iron ships, our mechant mariners began wal
lowing in the wake of other nations.
A proud new'liner with a proud oid name—the
S. S. United States—has brought back our sea
going glory again. Not since 1851, when the steamer
Pacific crossed in nine days, 19 hours and 25 min
utes, has an American merchant ship flown the
mythical blue ribbon of Atlantic supremacy.
The new liner’s speed—3s knots or 41 mph—may
not seem fast in this atorric nge. But it's still some
thing to stir the hearts of dmericans to know the
fastest ship on all the oceans flies the Stars and
Stripes.

Good Vision Group Shows Danger
In Wearing Defecfive Sun Glasses
The Better Vision Institute asks,
will our eyes be as good on Labor
Day as they were on Memorial
Day? The answer, says this well
known crusader for eyesight pro
tection,.may depend partly on the
kind of dark glasses we wear amid
the glare and dazzle of beach,
ocean, and mountain during the
vacation months,
Two pairs of sun glasses may
look pretty much alike, yet be
vastly different in yuality, method
of manufacture, and long-range
effect on our vision, the Institute
explains. The best dark glasses
conform to expert “ophthalmic”
standards. Lenses are made of
fine, clear glass, and the surfaces
are ground and polished like those
of prescription lenses which are
used to correct faulty vision. Col
oring is dark enough to shut out
an exactly determined amount of
sunlight, including the invisible
rays. Also, the colored Ilens
should be approximately “neu
iral,” so that a green traffic light
will still look green, a red one red,
instead of taking on some other
hue,
On the other hand, here are
some of the things that may lie
concealed in the infereior pair of
glasses. Though the two lenses
may look equally dark, one of
them may admit a lot more light
than the other, so that the pupils
of the wearer’s two eyes will have
the knotty task of trying to adjust
themselves to two different de
grees of illumination. Or, neither
of the lenses may exclude the
right amount of sunlight.
One of the below-par lenses
may have more spherical curve on
it than the other, again tending to
upset visual equilibrium. Along
with the faculty curvature may
go a curious thing known as
“power,” meaning that the lens
magnifies, either all over its sur
face or in certain parts. There may
be tiny “prisms” concealed in the
irregularity of the lens, causing
the rays of light to be thrown to
one side or the other. A proper
sun glass lens should not magnify,
or displace the light rays in any
. manner.
i In ordinary glass there are im
perfections known as seeds, bub
bles, striae—or streaks, specks,
and differences of density of one
kind or another. Such things don’t
cause much annoyance in a pane
'of window glass, but in a sun

glass lens they can produce dis
tortions and blackages which the
eye should not be asked to endure.
One of the most common de
fects of the run-of-mill sun glasses
lies on the surface of the lenses, in
the form of tiny pits, oxidation,
waves or a kind of grayness.
These flaws are often invisible
when looked at, but they can be
come important when the sun
glass wearer looks through them
for long hours at a stretch in
bright sunlight.
Methods of manufacture ac
count for many of these defects.
Cheap glass lenses are sometimes
“blown” in the form of a big glass
bubble, from which circular sec
tions are cut to make the curved
lenses. Another way to produce
the curve is to “sag” a piece of
flag glass, when softened by heat,
into a mould. Surface irregulari
ties are hard to avoid when these
methods are used, without polish
ing or grinding.
What an imperfect lens can do
to a visual object is dramatically
shown when light is passed
through the lens by a magnifying
projector and made to throw an
image on a secreen. The biggest
letters on an_ordinary visual test
chart appear foggy, blurred, and
indistinct: The lines of a rectangu
lar grid are wavy, unevenly mag
nified and distorted by prism ef
fects. Such irregularities, even
though invisible when unmagni
fied, are transmitted to the deli
cate nerve centers of the retina,
and the eye has to do battle with

0f Sovief Bullefin
~ WASHINGTON, July 16—(AP).
The State Department Tuesday
orl&eted the Russian Embassy to
quit publishing and distributing
pamphlets in the United States.
A department statement an
nouncing this said the U. S. was
suspending publication of a Rus
sian language magazine -called
“Amerika,” which it had been dis
tributing in Russia.
It said the twin actions were
taken because the Russiang were
obstructing distribution of “Amer
#ka” in the Soviet Union.
~ In halting the “Amerika” pro
ject, the department gave up op
erations on the last remaining
' wedge into the Iron Curtain.
A spokesman said the slick-pa
‘per magazine was so pepular in
the Soviet Union that newsstands
sold out all copies within a few
‘hours after they went on sale
wherever the Russian govern
ment did not interfere.
The suspension action was tak
en, the department said, because
of “progressive restriction” by
Russian authorities against
“Amerika,” a lavishly-illustrated
monthly patterned after Life
magazine.
In a note addressed to the Rus
sian Foreign Office, the State De
partment asserted:
“As a result of this obstruction,
the number of copies which can
be presumed to reach the Soviet
public has become so small as not
to justify this effort of the gov
ernment of the United States to
supply Soviet readers with a true
picture of American life and thus
to promote understanding be
tween the two peoples.”
The retaliatory action prohibits
the embassy from publishing and
distributing in this country the
“U. 8. S. R. Information Bulletin”
and any other Russian pamphlets.
