Political Chips
By EDWARD UDELOWITZ

At the close of the Republican conventions two years ago. was iihing one of the puppets of the Pape-Upson junta at Its miser- liness in chiseling small meeting room from the YMCA to hold the party conventions instead of rent ing hall large enough to accom- modate the 400 to 500 people who usually attended the various con- ventions, when along came candi- date John w. Kearney with one of the party workers. The party worker asked me what thought of the chances of the ticket being elected. I told them that for it to have any chance to win, it had to repudiate the leadership and con- trol of the party by the Pape-Upson junta, raise substantial campaign fund and develop some good issues. MT. Kearney did not agree with me on the matter Of repudiating the junta at that time, but found out that there was something to it as the campaign progressed.
 But after the machines were
 checked on election night and
 they disclosed that MT. Kearney
 was defeated by close to 4000
 votes, he was somewhat piqued at
 the result and gave out a state
 ment that virtually accused the
 Pape- UpsOn junta of a double
 cross. The junior member of the
 junta and usually its mOuthpiece,
 came back with a statement that
 blamed the loss of the election on
 the failure of MT. Kearney to
 present issues that appealed to
 the electorate.
 That statement by MT. Upson was true only if the Pape-Upson junta could have been separated from all the proceedings that surrounded the selection of a ticket. But since the junta controlled those proceedings in every move, 1t represented about as mendacious and insincere a pres entation as could possibly be made. The junta had already delivered the election to the Democratic organi- zation months before at the ses- sions of the General Assembly and through other maneuvers that served to strengthen the machines hold on the city government.
 In yesterdays Republican, Walter Brooks, veteran double machine col- umnist, appears enthused over the pep displayed by the current Re- publican ticket and sheds some al- liga tor tears over the lateness of the attack 1t has launched against the Jity Hall boys and opines that if it was started two weeks sooner. 1t might have gotten them somewhere. That statement is as hypocritical AS the statement of J. Warren Up- son Of two years ago that I have referred to above. The nominations were only about three weeks ago and the ticket was virtually picked from the telephone directory.
 Who was to blame for the diIa-
 tory tactics that were employed
 In the selection of a town chair
 man and the subsequent delays in
 the selection of a ticket? Wasn't
 the Pape-Upson junta to blame
 Tor that faux pas? And doesn't
 Walter know that it takes any
 green combination some time to
 get started? He knows that all
 these incidents" were not just
 casual happenings but were part
 of the plans and specifications for
 throwing the election into the lap
 of the Democrats by the Pape-
 Ups0n Junta.

Churches Institute Ministry Commission Massachusetts EpiscoPolion Bishop
 Choirmon-Recruiting Campaign
 ContempIoted

New York, Nov. 5--Announcement was made here today of the ap- pointment of the Rt. Rev. Henry Sherrill, Bishop of the Episcopal Diacese of Massachusetts, as chair man of the Commission on the Ministry, recently instituted by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America to recruit young men for the ministry.
 Dr. John Oliver Nelson, former director of the Department of Life Work of the Presbyterian Church in the USA, has been been elected Director of the new Commission, which will provide guidance for servicemen who have decided to enter the ministry, and will also help the cooperating denominations discover the ablest candidates from among the more than 4,000 who are being referred by Army and Navy chaplains in every theater of war.
 In accepting the chalrmanship ot the Commission, Bishop Sherrill said: "The Church can fulfill It's great function in human recon struction during the next decade only if the ablest men-many of them still in uniform-take their place in a dynamic ministry. The achievement of a lasting peace will depend in great measure upon de- dicated young Christian leader ship"
 An especial concern of the new Commission will be the servicemer who have expressed no denomina' tional preference but who desire tt become ministers.
 The Commission will also shar' among the cooperating communion techniques of counseling, testing and groups conferences dealing witt church vacations for men and wom- en.

"eke out a living at the bargain counters"
 "It is a national disgrace" he said, that today, when our national production and income are at peak peacetime levels, there. should still be millions of Americans who exist on pitifully low wages-wages that mean malnutrition for the bread winners family, wages that eat steadily into the health and eff ciency of the worked himself. This bill is intended to take major step toward removing this disgrace. !"

lowed by a talk by Eugene Irish of
the Ypsilanti High School faculty,
Tuesday evening at the home OF
Mrs. Fred Schaffer.
In speaking OF the students of
10 to Is years OF age, he said that
at this age they feel grown up and
able to do anything. He recon-
mended that they be given oppor-
tunities to do worthwhile things
and to take their place in society.
In the schools. the teachers work
with what they have and do the
best they can with the materials
they have, he said. He mentioned
that getting along with people is
more important than intelligence,
He said that he thought that the
schools, churches and community
should take this is to Is year old
age group into consideration and
work out their problems and give
them things TO do.
A general discussion followed Mr..
Irish's interesting talk.
At the business meeting. It was
decided to contribute cookies TO the
USO for Feb. II. The cookies are
