POLITICAL
ROUNDUP
BY Arthur Naftalin

The spirited competition among
third district Democrat Farmer.
Lahorites for the party's nomina-
ton to I'LL the vacancy left on the
party ballot by the death Of Con
gresham William J. Gallagher ere
ated some unexpected excitement
in state political circles last week.
District OFL leaders were imme-
diately hesieged by n host of Rspir-
ants, each Offering persuasive rea-
sons why he was the ideal choice.
Competition WAS especially keen
because u the general belief that
the third district, which includes
several strong labor wards In Min
neRpoliS, should normally favor the
DFL candidate. II will be recalled
that the congressional reappoTtion-
ment Of 1888 carved out the third
district in n fashion that was re-
gRrded rs certain 60 produce u dis
trict that the FarmcT-Labor party
could regularly carry.
Congressman GRllagher's death
brought party leaders face-to-fRce
with an eventuality which some had
feared might happen but for which
they had been powerless Ia pro
pare, Some party leaders had known
that his health was failing and
that he might not survive the gen
cral election campaign. There were
quiet consultations but always the
leaders agreed that any move that
would involve public attention was
certain 90 he interpreted as a cal
lous act Consequently, no plans
were ever formulated,
The confusion which followed
news Of the ConRTessman's death
concerning what legal steps could
be taken to ensure n party nominee
being on the ballot points up the
need for n thorough revision Of the
state election laws. Our election
laws have grown In hRphaEard
fashion, and on hundreds Of points
legal procedure Ia not clear. The
confusion could possibly be further
complicated should the President
summon Congress into special SEES
sion before January. In that case,
the Governor would have 10 call
for a special election, both primary
and general, u tho district were u
be represented.

against himself. When found, how
ever, the veteran readily supplied
investigators with the information
he possessed and drew up a signed
affidavit when promised NAACP
protection.
Identity Kept Secret
The veteran, whose identity can
not be disclosed for obvious reasons,
in his affidavit clears up a con-
troversy which reached a dramatic
climax recently when Orson Welles,
hard-hitting radio commentator and
Hollywood actor, answered the
mayor Of Aiken, s. c., who de-
manded a retraction of the charge
made by Woodland that the brutal
attack had occurred in that city.
Welles, in his regular Sunday af-
ternoon network broadcast, had
stated that Woodland, a man who
had served his country during the
war, claimed that he'd been attacked
and blinded in Aiken, S. c. THE
burden of proof lies with you, Mr..
Mayor" said Welles. "YOu should
have addressed your demands for
a retraction to Sgt. Isaac Woodland.
But it would have to be sent in
braille, Mr.. Mayor, for Isaac Wood
ard has no eyes," continued the
provocative commentator.

sons for naming Aiken as the scene

was attacked in Aiken, s. c. The
policeman, after he put me in
car to take me to the hospital
answered me when l asked him
where l was. He told me we were
in Aiken, S. c. When we got to
the hospital, the police told the
doctor that he was from Aiken,
S. c. A few days later a couple
Of guys came into the ward inquir-
ing about the soldier who got beat
up in Aiken. They were interested
because they were from Aiken
themselves.
According to the story told by
the eyewitness the attack actually
occurred in Batesburg, a few miles
from Aiken. THE bus operator
came into the bus with three police
officers and pointed to Isaac Wood
ard. One Of the policemen came
into the back of the bus and took
Woodland out. When they got him
outside one Of the policemen took
out blackjack and smashed Wood
ard across the head then they
carried him down the street. That
is the last saw of him." declared
the witness.
