WARREN HIGHLY HONORED
BY LEADERS OF PARTY

One of the highest hOnors a political
party can bestow has been passed along
to Governor Earl Warren. In both major
parties the choice as keynOter at ma
tiona convention has been a matter OF
keen competition. On down the years,
especially since Lincoln'S time, this Selec-
ton has been considered one of great
moment. and hence one of high honor.
The chosen one must have a commanding
speech. not necessarily an Orator-not
Bourke Cochrane or a Bryan Tor they
have niche all their own. He must be
able to command and hold the attention
of a peculiar and eXacting audience. He
must be able to make all the hackers of
other contestants forget their diSappoint-
ment to the end that there shall be a solid
front in the convention. He must know
and be eminently able to vision and put
into concrete words the aims and tenetS
of his party. No mean task, this, and as
.rIuch responsibility rests on the group
swhch makes the selection as the man
Who shall speak. Because of the ponder
Gus machinery connected with party
national convention, made up OF more
than a 1000 Virile, Surglng bOlSterouS del
egatas it is necessary to have the ground
work well laid before the gavel sounds.
Hence both parties work through special
committees and one of these is charged
with selecting a keynoter and tenn
porary organization. The selecting COM
mittee represents the party pretty gen.
ierallv geographicallv and strategically.
The group giving the nod to Governor
Warren considered a nalf score or more
of outstanding leaders.
The governor has task ahead.

RESURRECTION
New York TimeS)

Any one reading for the first time the
four Gospels of the New Testament could
not help being deeply moved by the SIM
pie pathos of the accounts of the Resur
recton. 1t is particularly so now. The
soldier, troubled by what is before him,
may read new meaning into the story
of the disciples who came upon their
risen Lord on the road to Emmaus:
But they constrained Him, saying,
Abide with us: for it is toward eve
ming and the day is far spent. And
He went in to tarry with them.
And the grief of Mary Magdalene. in
this time of so much grief for women
comes freshly poignant down the GEN.
turieS, as the angels at the tomb say to
her:
Woman. why weepest thou? She
saith unto them. Because they have
taken away my Lord and | know not
where they have laid Him.
Matthew. Mark. Luke and John lay
unanimous emphasis on the sadness. the
sorrow and the incredulity with which
the Nazarene'S followers went about on
the day of the Resurrection. The atti-
tude of doubling Thomas has passed into
legend.
Yet belief in some kind of resurrection
is almost as old as religion itself. 1t
arose in the Mesopotamian Valley. in
the Nile Valley and in India. 1t appeared
in the Greek mythology. Men have never
been able to reconcile themselves to the
final triumph of evil and the final death
of goodness. They may or may not be-
lieve that those they have loved will
some day appear on the road to EmmauS,
or on any road That is matter Of
faith.
But they have to believe, if they are
to endure this earth'S pain and sorrow
with fortitude, that the goodness in the
loved person is part Of a larger goodness
and loveiness that does not perish. but
on the contrary grows and spreads down
the ages It is the Christian faith that
its Lord did not die. 1t is not irreverent
to add that Socrates is not dead either,
nor St. Francis of Assist. nor MaimOn-
ides. nor Abraham Lincoln, nor any of
the saints and heroes who have lived and
suffered for humanity. nor any human
being who was ever truly and uns2lfish-
ly loved by even a single person.
The good in humanity lives and bios
SONS again after winters evil Is past.
The sorrow and tragedy of our time is
not without meaning. The woman in
the factory. the farmer ploWing some
extra acres and working beyond his
strength the Stretcher-EearerS going for
ward to pick up the wounded, the fighter
whose aeonizing task it is to help end a
war by klling-the good in them lives
foravermore the good cause is never de-
tented: the risen Lord. by whatever name
men of different faiths may call Him,
does walk this earth immortal

ON THE BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE, Aug. 8-A newly-captur- ed German Intelligencer Officer as- serted that Heinrich Himmler, German Gestapo SS Chief, was assasinated, and Hermann Goering wounded in a new outbreak against the Nazi hierarchy. There is no confirmation of this report. The officers report was based on second- hand information and is therefore subject to reservation.
 In this connection, the British radio said that German Lieuten- ant, taken prisoner in France, re- lated he had given a pep talk" to his troops and flor want of other good news" he told them that Hitler was dead
