made inroads into this normal shipstead source of strength.
 But. as far as the rest of the country was con- cerned the test was personal one for MT. Stassen and significant for international cooperation It had been advertised. The victory helps also to wipe out a preliminary setback in Nebraska, where MT. Stassen backed Governor Griswold in his unsuc- cessfu for the Republican senatorial nomination against Senator Butler, the incumbent.
 It also was victory for the Progressive wing of the Republican party with which MT Stassen IS identified He has been it's champion and can now go forward in his campaign to win the nomination and liberalize the party.
 It is no easy road He is not the choice of the Republican Old Guard and the conservative wing of the party The only way to convince the Old Guard is by show Of popular strength, which was Wendell L. Willke's way. From now on, as hereto fore MT. StasSen will try to rally popular support to himself and his cause.
 His campaign will be modified in one respect. He is not expected hereafter to lntercede n any prl- maries in behalf of Republican against another, yielding to the counsel Of his friends He is expected however, to participate quite actively in general way for Republicans against Democrats in the Congress sional elections as party eampaigner.
 It is also understood to be his plan to enter number of presidential preference primaries in the Spring of l948 in the effort to roll up as imposing popular support possible for his entrance into the convention contest two years hence.
 One thing cannot be overlooked in the Mlnne- sota primary The victory for international co-opera- tion when it was the unpopular thing to do in 8 state then regarded as among the most isolatonist They dared, and they

SAINT FRANCES XAVIER
(New York Times

One does not have to be a profess ing member of the Roman Catholic Church to appreciate the signifi- canoe of the canonization of Mo ther Cabrini, who now, for the ages, will be known as Saint Frances Xa- vier. Canonization comes only after the most searching inquiry into the life and works of the one proposed for sainthood One can say of a saint, as We now do of Saint Fran ees Xavier, that each lived a life free from sin and devoted solely to others.
 The Church, of course, does not make a saint. It only formally recognizes what was exemplifed in the person. The heart within the frail body of the little nun from Italy, who founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart and be- came a citizen of the land of her adoption, the United States, held the everlasting mercy. All who came in contact with her recognized it. as now does the Church in Rome Her case is unique only in that she is the first citizen of this country to be caponized and that canoniza- ton carie so quickly. She has won a place that cannot be sought; it can only be attained. And it comes only after death. Who can say what future saints may be walking humbly among us today?

SIDNEY HILLMAN
tNew York Herald-Tribune)

(NeW York Herald -Tribune)
 The labor movement in this coun- try and hence the country itself will feel profoundly the loss of Sidney Hillman. It was not necessary al- ways to agree with him or to ap- plaud his methods and immediate objectiveS to understand the ability of the man and his intelligence both as labor leader and a public serv- ant.
 In the latter capacity, the nation was under a distinct debt to him. especially for his patriotic and largely successful efforts while a di- rector of the labor division of the National Defense Advisory Commis- sion, and later co-director of the Off, flee of Production Management, to engage labor's cooperation in the period of our preparation for the war. He showed then those qualities of statesmanship which we could all wish were more frequently displayed among labor'S spokesmen.
 Against the background of this clear and prophetic utterance, the absurdity of the charges that he was Communist or even a Communist Sympathizer becomes apparent. As a matter of record, he consistently fought against Communist influence. On the other hand, of course, he was anything but a conservative in the conventional sense. His major ambition, which runs like bright 1 thread throughout the pattern of his career, was to make democracy a reality. -
 This urge, very likely reflection of his imprisonment for civil dis turbance in his native Lithuania, then a part of Czarist Russia, when boy of nineteen. obviously motiv- ated his early plunge into union af- fairs shortly after his arrival here. He had entered the garment trade as an apprentice cutter for Hart, Schaffner & Marx but soon left to give all his time to the United Gar ment Workers and first came into prominence as leader of the. success ful garment workers strike in Chi cago in 1910. In 1914 the United Garment Workers split into two fac- tions, and Sidney Hillman was elect ed president of the seceding faction, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, and so remained until his death
 But of late years he had become better known for his activities as chairman of the Political Action Committee of the Congress of h. dustrial Organizations. He fathered this baby in his fifties and it became his pet and also the instrument of his rise to very decided political power The FAC. as a development has aroused our opposition on occa- sion. since it introduced another

 The official admission by govern ment authorities that some 200o aliens are pouring into this country illegally every day indicates that something is wrong with those agen- cies charged with keeping such per sons out Of the country. To add to the shameful situation, 1t is further admitted that many of these aliens are criminals and, in general. the riff raff of other countries. Only about one-half of those illegally crossing our borders are being cap- tued.

 A couple of years ago he began to develop tele- phone cramp in his left arm. Then he resorted to loud-speaker and recording device and a gadget that permits him to hang the receiver over his shou- der and relax
 He gets to work between o'clock and 8:30 every morning, and always has read the papers by the time he arrives He keeps at it till or P. M on an ordinary light day, having his lunch brought in on a tray

Governor Thye is quite substantial figure in his
Arkansas Traveller

WASHINGTON July 12-tNEA) )-The personality of Dr. John R. steelman, new Assistant President and therefore ranking bureaucrat of the lana, IS something special.
 He is six feet tall, weighs over 200 pounds In the last few years he has become a little paunchy. He is graying, though only 46. The labor management battles he has been through would make anyone gray headed.
 But he is also boyishly pnk-cheeked with big blue eyes that sparkle behind rlmess spectacles Ana he is full of vim, vigor and vitality Words pour out of his mouth in torrents He wagges his head around on a uniVersal-joint bull-neck He iuts out his chin and bouts his lips and quints his eyes to emphasize every word he speaks He never says anything quietly or without great deal of positiveness. He cusses fluently betimes
 Though he has been a member of the Washing ton chair-bo army of officials for all but one of the last 12 years, he sits still second He is completely full of nervous energy that you imagine his dining radio-touted "energy-quck cereal TOT breakfast deXtrose for lunch, and double order Of broiled hormones and spinach for dinner, with a flagon of cod liver oil to wash it down.
 As matter of fact sandwiches at odd and aw- fu hours his principal item of diet. The way ne misreats his big caution. It is not vita mins, but Arkansas, that carries him through He was just naturally born healthy, to farmer-st parents, in the little town of Thornton, Ark, which isn't on most maps.
 There's nothing hlbiIIy about him, however laugh, which is frequent and infectious He is Good Humor personified, except when he turns on his mad and lets go with the cuss words to drive home an argument.
 He got through high school in time to be drafted into the Army for the last two months of World War I, and came out corporal In the next 10 years he went to four colleges acquiring six degrees During Summer vacations he worked as logger and sawml-hand in Arkansas cypress swamps and "blanket-stiff" following the wheat harvest in the Northwest. That apparently, gave him the physique that enables him to take such punishment today

StaSSen Qualities

WASHINGTON-Harold Stassen now may be said to be entered officially in the 1948 Republican pres idential nomination contest.
 He passed his entrance examinations, and handi- ly with his proxy victory in Minnesota through nom- ination of his choice, Gov. Edward J. Thye as Re- publican Senatorial candidate and defeat Of the in- cUrnbent the veteran Senator Shlpstead.
 The importance of this victory in his home state may be measured best by considering the re- verse Had he lost, it would have checked his own campaign for the Republican nomination, since candidate must have the backing of the home folks It would. as well, have had dampenng effect on the cause of international cooperation which he has championed.
 Though not candidate he made himself and international cooperation the The setup was perfect the He had the best possible symbol in Senator Shipstead, A years in the Senate who was one of two Senators who voted against the United Nations. MT Stassen, his side had con- siderable part it's creation first by his pioneering for it all the country later of the Amer can delegates to the San Francisco conference where LIN was formed
 Ed Thye drew the issue. Senator Shipstead ae- cepted the challenge It was cear-cut
 Governor Thye is quite substantial figure in his own right. Contributing to his victory were several factors as in all such local electons-his personal popularity, his good record as Governor, his big following among the farmers. On the other side, there was a growing dissatisfaction among many people in Minnesota with the persistent solationism of Senator Shpstead despite everything that has happened in the world.
