Velikemu Tomu je bilo ze 200
let, ko so ma besedo francoskega
kralja Ljudevita XI. izgotovili
prvo prenosno uro. Nj bila ravno
mala, v Yep res nj sla. &c je kralj
potoval, so spravili uro zaboj
in jo nalozili konju ma hrbet. Po-
seben konjar, neki Martin, je
moral "a dnevnih pet sujev skr-
beti "a konja in uro. Ocividno je
bill obeh del mojster. Nicesar ne
vemo, kako je bilo, &c Sc je kdaj
nekoliko nabral. Takrat je men
da navijal konja, uri pa je trosil
ovsa.
Okoli leta 1900 so sc nazadnje
pojavile zepne ure. Iznasel jih je
urarski mojster il Nuernberga
po imenu Peter Heinlein. Pravili
so, da so sc mu Sc kot decku
cudili zavoljo njegovih sposob-
nosti. In res, to nalogo je zmo-
gel samo resnicno sposoben clo-
vek.
Najvecja tezava je bila tenn,
kako zamenjati utez S cim dru-
GIN, kar bi premikalo mehani-
zem. Peter je priredil "a ia ma
men vzmet ali prozilo.
Glavna lastnost prozila je ME
gova-trma. Kakor koli bi ga
zvijali in tlacili, ono Sc pac no.
&c sprostiti in odviti. S to last
nostjo Sc je urar sklenil okoristi-
ii.

ure je stisnjena mala, ploscata
skatlica il medi.
To je "boben,' domovanje
prozila, XII je gibalo vsega v uri.
En- konec prozila, notranji, je
nepremakljiv; pricvrscen je k
osi, ma kateri cepi boben. Drugi
konec, zunanji, lie pa pritrj jen ma
steno bobna.
Kadar navijamo uro, vrtimo
boben in tenn zavijamo prozilo,
zunanji konec pa mora kroziti.
CHM smo prepustili prozilo sa-
menu sebi, sc zacenja odvijaj,
zunanji konec sc vraca ma pref
snje mesto, z MIN skupaj pa
napravi tudi boben toliko obra-
tov nazaj, kolikor jih je bill ma
pravil naprej.
To je VISA umetnost.
Nekoliko zobcastih kolesc po-
sreduje obracanje bobna kazal-
Gem tako kakor v uri ma utezi.
Da bi odvijanje prozila zavrl,

Man to Man
Presidential Succession Law Called
Result of Sloppy Political Thinking

could such an outcome have been
democratic in q political sense, not
withstanding Mr.. Rayburns other
If the President Is
to have the confidence Of the people
and an acceptance by them Of his
leadership, then he must have a
broader outlook than can be ex-
pected from highly partisan career
in the House of Representatives.
Democratic Method.
1t seems to me that the result
would be more democratic. and
therefore more acceptable, If the
succession law should require that
if it should become necessary to
choose a President to fill out an un-
expired term, there being no living
Vice President, the choice should be
made from the Cabinet. The MEM
bers of the Senate and OF the
House, voting as individuals should
choose, by majority vote from the
Cabinet, a man to take over as
President. Poor as some OF our
Cabinets have been, there has al
ways been at least one man, and
usually more, who by training, abil-
ity, experience and character would
make an acceptable President.
BY such a process the country
would be more certain, than under
the latest presidential succession
bill, of having suitable President
while the method of selection would
be far more democratic, to my way
of thinking, than any other plan
thus far proposed.
No congressional district in the
United States could be expected to
select a Congress member with the
thought in mind that, in time, he
would become Speaker OF the House
of Representatives, and then that
some turn of fate might inject him
into the White House. A President
is not made that way. He cannot
be, If he is to be the right kind OF
President.

achieved control of the Congress
He continued to adhere to the un-
wise proposal even when 1t became
clear that under it, Speaker Martin
would be the heir apparent to the
White House.
To my mind, this bill is the re-
suit of pretty sloppy political
thinking. After the Republican
landslide of last November, Sena-
tor Fulbright of Arkansas sug-
.gested that President Truman Sc.
lect a Republican as Secretary OF
State and then resign, In which
event, under the succession law then
in effect, the Republican Secretary
Of State would become President. 1t
has always seemed to me that this
approach to the British constitu-
tional system would give us more
democratic and more flexible gov
ernment. The people had ex-
pressed their will at the polls and
that will should not have had to walt
for two years to be given effect. But
President Truman Indignantly re-
pulsed the idea. He felt that ne
ought to continue to govern with
the help of George E. Allen, John
w. Synder, James K. Vardaman. ct
al. He was not troubled by the
thought of government divided
into Democratic administrative
branch and a Republican legisla-
tive branch.
Accepted Custom.
II President Truman's reasoning
was valid in 1916, it is valid today
And if it is valid, any new success
sion law should provide that. upon
the death or disability of the Presi-
dent. his successor should be chosen
from the Democratic Party. 1f4hy
law and accepted custom, a Repub-
lican should not have succeeded
President Truman last year. then
one should not succeed him prior to
January 20, 1949 if such unfor-
tunate circumstances should occur
as to call for successor.
Aside from the doubtful consti-
tutionality of the succession bill. ii
seems to me that Speaker OF the
House should not be eligible to be-
come President. No one can hope to
become Speaker except by the Ion
gevity rule. 1t is principally because
he has outlived other and In many
instances, abler and less partisan
colleagues that Mr.. Martin has ar
rived in the Speakers chair. 1t is
generally the faithful party hack
who wins through in both houses
of Congress, and few would con-
tend that rigid party regularity is
the only or even a highly desirable
quality in the President. There
have been few instances in our his
tory when the Speaker of the House
of Representatives has been re-
garded as possessing presidential
qualifications.
If the Democrats still held a ma
jority in the House, and Sam Ray
burn we're still Speaker, the country
would be assured of a much more
able President under the present
presidential succession bill than 1t
could have in the unfortunate event
that Speaker Martin should ever
move into the White House. But
even so, Mr.. Rayburn would have
succeeded principally by virtue of
his ability to be elected to Con-
gress in a poll tax State where the
race line is strictly drawn. How

Greek Civil Conflict Seen Passing
To International War as Tempo Rises

except to determine the facts and
report to their home offices.
Creation of such an independent
commission, furthermore, would de-
tract SO powerfully from the pres
tise of the u. N. that no members OF
the peace organization would want
to participate in such movement
except as q last resort. In many
ways 1t might be better to avoid any
such by-passing of the u. N, unless
it is to be written off as a non
entity as far as war prevention Is
concerned.
Russia Delays Green Light.
The stage is being set in Northern
Greece for sinister events when the
masters of the Kremlin decide that
the moment has come to press the
issue to a conclusion, regardless OF
the outcome. So far Russia appears
to be delaying the green light which
would signal the start of an all-out
offensive, committing not only
Greeces neighbors but Russia her
self to a showdown decision on
whether Greece is to be preserved as
a unit or split, with the northern
portion joining the Balkan fedora
ton as the Macedonian Peoples s
Republic.
Up to now Russia has avoided
committing herself to the Greek civil
war, and likewise has restrained her
satellites-Yugoslavia, Albania and
Bulgaria. This does not mean that
the resources of the satellites are not
behind the Greek guerrillas, but
simply that they are not In open
and >avowed warfare with the Greek
government.
Russia, it appears, has desired
simply that enough strength be
thrown into Northern Greece to
keep the Greek government con-
stantly on the defensive. This has
required the use of more and more
men, as the Athens government has
'mobilized more intensively to sup
press the revolt.
AS American military aid Is
thrown into the balance 1t will re-
quire still greater commitments OF
men and material on the part of the
Soviet puppets. At some point along
the line their effort to detach North
ern Greece will require such an
effort that the pretense of peaceful
diplomatic relations between the
Balkan states will disappear and
warfare will be waged openly by the
Soviet satellites against the Greek
government.
At that point the United States
and Britain will find themselves at
new crossroads, faced with the
necessity of deciding whether to
sacrifice Greece in the name OF
peace or to implement the Truman
Doctrine to the hilt, cost what II
may.

and the royal Henry MeLemors'
box and the press box, both being
very near the finish line. are close
together. Both are glass inclosed, SO
the royal family had fine view OF
the newspapermen and vice versa.
The entire royal family was
there, with the late King George v,
looking smart in derby, in the seat
of honor. One of the first things I
was taught when I was little was
not to stare, but was too fresh
from the clay hills and cotton fields
to take that much royalty in stride
as did the British reporters. They
acted as if John Smith and family
were right alongside, and didn't
even glance that way=
"Outside Candy Store"
But not this cracker. They fasci-
mated me as much as any snake
ever did bird. I couldn't keep my
eyes on the track. I had seen horses
all my life, but not a King and
Queen and Princesses and Dukes
Now and then I'd leave my seat and
60 over to the pane Of glass, press
my nose against 1t like kid outside
candy store, and just stare.
More than once I caught the eye
of Princess Elizabeth, and I'll bet
she remembers me to this day. She
couldn't help it, because she not
only looked at me, but right through
and beyond me. Sort of an X-ray
look, If you know what I mean. So
did the now Duke of Windsor, and
all the rest of them.
I might have been there yet,
staring away, If it hadn't been for
big. burly man in a dark suit, a
hard hat, and face like five pounds
of sirloin. After my fifth or sixth
trip to the windowpane he suggested
that I stay in my seat and watch
the races. Later, when I got to
thinking about it, figured out that
he must have been a Scotland Yard
man. But by that time the royal
family and I were practically old
friends, so the chances are they'll
remember me when they get to
sending out invitations for the cere-
mony at Westminster Abbey. OF
course, to make them remember my
face when I get there I'll have to
hold a pane of glass smushed up
against my nose. But who wouldn't
do thatto get to 60 to the wedding?
Right Thing to Wear.
! Looking through my wardrobe I
believe I found just the thing to
wear, after a little stitching Is done
on it here and there. That Is, If
knee pants are in order. I have a
pair of knickers which I wore when
was in school. Why wouldn't they
be all right. If I took a couple of
foxtails of the front of my car, dyed
them an ermine color, and stitched
them onto the knickers? The silk
stockings Ill get from my wife. Sort
of classy, seems to me.
The present has me stumped. If
knew whether or not Elizabeth
was going to do her own house
work, things would be easier. II
she plans to, then sable apron
would be fine. So would an egret
: feather duster, or platinum rolling
, pin. AS for something for the house,
I can't get that because don't
know where and in what kind of a
place the Mountbattens will live. If
they have to start cheaply, in a
Ouonset hut, or a one-room- -and-
bath apartment, then silver lawn
mower and rake wouldn't be of any
use to them.
Guess the best thing to do is to
send them a check for S. and let
