Dems’ 16 (Maybe) Candidates
Hopeful Of
"Nod’ At Big Fracas
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
CHICAGO.—(NEA)—With 16 possible candidates
for the Democratic nomination for President, any
thing can happen at the party’s convention here.
And it probably will.
By traditlon and natural inclination, the Demo
crats have always put on a better show than the
Republicans. The Democrats will have to go some
this time, however, if they put on a better perform
ance for drama, humor, suspense and fast action
than the Republican vaudeville that is now gone but
still mot forgotten, .
The shadow of the Republican nominee, General
Dwight Eisenhower, of course, hangs over the
Democratie fracas. I? Senator Taft had been the
GOP nominee, every Democrat from precinct com
mitteeman up would have wanted to take him on.
Against General Eisenhower, there may be sonre
reluctance to run.
The 16 Democrats—and there may be others who
crawl out e¢f the stockyards woodwork — break
down in three main groups.
Heading the list are the Four Favorites. First is
Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, who claims
from 300 to 400 delegate votes and actually has a
tittle over 250 nailed down. £ehind him is Senator
Richard Russell of Georgia, with a claim of 300-
vote first-ballot strength and a firm count of
around 150.
THE NOD IS TRUMAN'S
OFFICIAL BLESSING
Behind these two southerners are two northern
ers who are in the unusual position of hoping that
they get The Nod. The Nod, of course, i recogni
tion and an official blessing from: President Harry
8. Truman.
Up te now Geovernor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois
has had The Nod held out in front of him on a sil
ver platter. But since he has been so reluctant to
grab it and run. there is now considerable belief
that The Nod will be given to W. Averell Harriman
o: New York.
Mr. Harriman has a little over 100 pledged dele
gate votes, but hopes he can muster 150 by first
ballot time. Governor Stevenson has only 54
pledzed delegates without ever having announced
himself as & candidate, and he makes no claim of
having any more. Doesn’t want ’em, so he says.
In the group behind the Four Favorites are what
might be known as the Seven Favorite Sons. The
interesting thing about this Seven Sons group is
that together they have 130 pledged delegates’
votes.
This isn’t enough to give any one of the Four
Favorites the nomination. - But it would give any
candidate a big shove if it could be mustered be
hind him by the political bosses. It probably can't,
D>mocrats just don’t agree on things that easily.
The Democrats, it should be explained, don't
count noses the way the Republicans do. This is to
make it more confusing.
ALMOST ALL STATES HAVE
F2ACTIONAL VOTES
The Democratic convention will have 1,230 votes,
with 618 necessary for a choice. But of the 1,230
delegates, 886 district delegations will have a full
vote apiece while 688 will have a half vote apiece
for a sub-total of 344.
This medns that nearly every state will have
fractional votes. And the confusion when they start
polling big delegations like New York’s 80 will
really be something fancy.
Of the Seven Favorite Sons, Senator Robert S.
Kerr of Oklahoma has 38 pledged votes. Vice Pres
ident Alyben W. Barkley of Kentucky, 28; Robert J.
Bulkley of Ohio, 27; Governor G. Mennen Williams
ol Michigan, 40: Senator Hubert Humphrey of Min
nesota, 26; Senator Brien McMahon of Connecticut,
16; and Governor Dever of Massachusetts, 15.
Finally there are the Five Fractions. These are
the candidates—willing and unwilling—with splin
ter strength of from a half of one vote committed,
like House Speaker Sam Raybpurn, up to the grand
total of three pledged to Senator Paul Douglas of
Illinois.
Others in this group are Chief Justice Fred Vin
son and Federal Security Administrator Oscar
Ewing with two apiece; ex-Senator Scott Lucas of
Illinois and Justice Bill Douglas with one apiece.
Last but not least, as the 17th possible starter
there is the old maestro himself, President Trunran.
He says he’s not running. But he’'s going to get a
starter of 14 votes, anyway.

lke Must Plot His Own Course
To Win Voters’ Trust In GOP
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican
presigential nominee, has a great task ahead of him.
A political novice and an amateur in domestic
affairs, he must now develop a program and learn
how to take command of his own political fortunes.
He won the GOP nominaticn because he was the
most popular candidate. His popularity is rooted in
trust in him as a man, in his character and his
motives and his qualities of leadership.
In the month he campaigned as a political figure,
he spelled out no specific policies. He talked in
general terms, indicating broad approaches, Yet he
was not taken wholly on faiti. For the general had
already proved himself as a soldier, diplomat and
statesman in two of the most crushing assignments
that any American has ever assumed.
It is natural for mrany people to feel that a man
who could do what Eisenhower has done as a com
mander of wartime and postwar armies might well
master the art of domestic statecraft.
It is natural, too, that many are disposed to turn
to a new face, a man without malice, who stands
out so sharply against the tired old faces that today
so heavily populate both major parties. Politically
speaking, Eisenhower is a clean sheet of paper on
which nothing sordid or disheartening has so far
been written,
In his quest for the nomination, he had the fur
ther advantage of representing the moderate ele
mrents of the Republican Party. Since 1940, these
forces have always proved strong enough to choose
a presidential nominee, though they have not had
the power to wrest control away from the more
conservative wing in the intervening years.
Curiously, Senator Taft is himself a moderate
Republican in many important respects. But he has
become a symbol of more extreme elements. In
campaigning he has not striven hard to shake this
label. He has been content to let it apply.
This association with extrenre conservatives, plus
some aspects of Taft's personality, underlie the
widely held conviction thal “Taft can’t win,” the
devastating argument that brought him again to
defeat in his third try for the nomination. ‘
Eisenhower is free of these handicaps. But he
has a full set of his own. Up to now he has been
acquiescing in political decisions affecting his cam
paign, rather than commanding. If he is not to be a
mere creature of others, he rmust now take hold and
chart his own course. ’
More than that, he must begin to offer evidence
to the voting public that the faith and trust the
people have in him is not misplaced.
The Democratic party is a powerful force in Amr
erican politics. The political analysts who have
troubled to examine closgly the voting habits of the
U. S. electorate are unanimous in concluding that
the Democrats have a substantial majority.
The Republicans are unlikely to wrest away any
crucial part of this majority—or to convince new
voters—unless they formulate a constructive pro
gram that offers all Americans real hope.
1t is Eisenhower’s task, therefore, to translate
the trust that is felt in him as a man into trust for
the political party he now leads.
Throughout a large portion of the world censor
ship over the free distribution of news continues
unabated, but there have been many daring and
successful instances of defiance. Citizens of this
country often are at a loss to determine how mmuch
credence to give to news from foreign countries, and
are forced to speculate on how much of genuine
news interest is withheld.
The Associated Press performs a real service in
ascertaining every six months, from its correspond=-
ents at strategic points throughout the world, how
far pressures tend to distort the real news picture.
The grip of censorship behind the iron curtain is,
of course, as firm as ever.
The Soviet Union, its satellites and China try to
saturate with propaganda tbe news they permit to
escape, This in the period from January 1 has been
sifted by specially trained newspapermen to sep
arate the false from the true.
Britain, France, Switzerland, Belgium, The
Netherlands, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Finland,
Denmark and Italy have no censorship. Neither
have West Gernrany, Canada, and to a large degree
the British Commonwealth of Nations.: Qutgoing
dispatches are not censored in Yugoslavia, despite
the fact it is communist. India and Pakistan have
an agreement to suppress “propaganda which might
incite Hindu-Moslem violence.” As to censorship,
Latin America is, as it always has been, spotty.
There are distinctly bright spots in this picture.
Four newspapermen were arrested in Chile for
criticizing a cabinet minister, but they were freed
and the minister quit his job. In Hamilton, Ber
muda, an order against publishing an account of a
parliamentary debate on foreign exchange control
was successfully defied by “The Royal Morning
Gazette,” An effort in Manila to deport any alien
who might write disparagingly of the President,
Congress or the cabinet was speedily quashed.
There is an evident tendency in Italy to press for
stories “friendly ot the government.” Throughout
the Middle East correspondcnts have a pretty hard
time.
Censorship is tighter in Venezuela, Colombia and
the Dominican Republic, though incoming and out-
going dispatches are not censored now in Argentina.
But the fight for freedom of thg press goes on and
will be continued relentlessly by men who believe
in the efficacy of truth,
If a potential aggressor krew in advance that his
aggression would bring that answer (full retalia
tion), then 1 am sure that he would not commit
aggression, — Foreign policy expert John Foster
Dulles.

Clarke Farmers Take Advanfage
0f Grain Bin Construction Plan
B. P. McWhirter, adnrinistra
tive officer of the Production and
Marketing Administration in
Clarke County, has been busy i%ie
past few days paying visits to
farmers of this area who have
constructed grain bins on their
farms through loans granted by
the P. M.
Six Clarke farmers took advan=
tage of the bin construction pro
gram before July 1 and received
loans of 85 percent on the con
struction of the circular steel
storage bins, Farmers are allowed
five years in which to repay the
money borrowed for construction.
The July 1 deadline passed,
however, farmers will only be al
lowed an &0 percent loan and will
be required to pay off their loans
within four years.
Of the many advantages of the
bins, the saving from rats and
other pests is of great importance
to the grain grower.
Grain Testing
Mr. McWhirter revealed yester
day that he had been taking sam
ples of the grains stored in the
bins to be submitted to a special
grain tester to ascertain their
quality and grade. Loang are al
lowed on the grain in addition to
the financial help offered for con
struction of storage bins, he said.
The mrarket price at present is
$1.90 per bushel on wheat. P. M.
A. allows $2.35 lean on grade
three wheat — forty-five cents
more than the sales price. Grade
two wheat will bring a $2.37 loan,
and grade one will allow the far
mer @& loan of $2.38.
Grain growers are in this way
encouraged to hold at least a por
tion of their harvests and the mar
ket is not glutted with surplus
wheat and other seed.
Retaining the privilege of pay
ing off his loan on the grain at
any time, the farmer is able to
take advantage of rising prices on
grain to ge: the best return on his
labor and capital required to pro
duce his crop.
Grain producers who have had
samples of their harvest taken for
testing this last week are E. A.
Strickland, H. E. Erwin and R. P.
Dobbs. Other farmers who have
installed either 2200 or 5,000
bushel capacity bins are Homer C.

Considerable Saving
The saving of 45 cents per
bushel on wheat which farmers
will realize by havin bins on their
farms would almost pay for the
bins in a year's time with storage
of only 1,000 bushels of wheat.
Loans for construetion of stor
age bins are granted by the Pro
duction and Marketing Adnrinis
tration on the basis of the amount
of grain the farmer produces or
the amount that he expects to
harvest during a given year. The
farmer’s only responsibility is to
keep the stered grain in good con
dition through wise use of weevil
control.
This Imay be achieved by
spreading a solution at the top of
the bin periodically. The solution
penetrates throughout the grain
and reduces loss by insects to a
minimum., 3

Has Lucky Day
' By MARY C. FLYNN
NEA Staff Correspondent
KANSAS CITY, Kans.—(NEA).
For 30 consecutive years the ice
Icream socials sponsored by the
parish of St. Thomas Catholic
Church were held outdoors en
schedule without postponement
due to rain. *
The traditional “rainless date
was the third Tuesday of July.
That is, it was rainless until
1950 when a torrential downpour
drove the event indoors. Booths
hurriedly were moved from the
playgrounds to the church base
ment.
Twenty-two feet of flood water
| rolled onto the St. Thomas play
grounds on Friday, July 13, 1951.
On the following Tuesday, when
tthe annual social was to be held,
]at least nine feet of water re
| mained on the social site.
|& * *
f The 250 families belonging to
i St. Thomas Church were among
the 5000 driven from their homes
‘m the Armourdale district by the
, fiood.
| Now 90 of the 250 families have
'moved back to Armourdale and
!have enthusiastically revived their
' annual ice cream social, which al
' ways draws crowds into the thou
i sands.
Several weeks ago a parish
lcommittee set July 22 as the date
of this year’s social. Later, when
lit was realized July 22 is the
fourth Tuesday of the month, the
date promptly was changed—to
the third Tuesday.
. “It’s our lucky date,” comment
ed the young pastor, the Rev.
Paul Grueter, with a smile.
} B 8
And July 15, 1952, was a lucky
dlate once more-~cloudy and cool
'but no rain in sight.
| William A. King, who was a
' member of St. Thomas parish
from 1897 and whose home was
‘destroyed by the flood, helped out
by selling aprons in one of the so
cial booths, although he no longer
lives in the parish and communi
ty.
. Mike Maher, another parishion
@r since 1897, is one of approxi
mately 2000 families who have
‘repaired their flood - damaged
‘homes and returned to Armour
dale. He sold bacon in one of the
' social booths while his wife was
in charge of a shift of workers in
‘the ice cream and homemade cake
' booth.
Because of flood rehabilitation
work, most, of the sccial booths
were set up in the street in front
of the church and school. One of
‘the playgrounds is cluttered witht
construction materials. The flood-
damaged parish rectory has been
torn down and construction crews
are at work on the teachers’ home
and the church. ’
Social patrons found the event
in a new setting; the area around
the parish property has been com
pletely changed by bulldozers. At
least 2000 flood-damaged houses
in Armourdale have been or will
be razed in the current clean-up
of private property from a two
million-dollar fund allocated by
the government for the purpose.
