mothballs, and Henry McLemore,
I recognized it Immediately. It was
the one had bought on the advice
of friend back in 1910, just before
I started this column. This friend
said I was crazy not to jot down
ideas when they came to my mind,
and, of course, I took his advice.
After all, he had been train brake
man for nearly Is years. and knew
all the ins and outs of making a liv-
ing by writing for the newspapers.
Here Are Some Ideas.
So, for almost a week 1 jotted
down ideas like crazy. Here are
some I jotted down, and I'll leave it
to you as to whether I was right or
wrong in throwing the notebook in
the trunk:
| What about a column suggesting
monuments for unknown people who
have contributed SO much to the
happiness and welfare of man, such
as the gent who thought up the
white stripe down the middle of
highways. He has saved more lives
than treeful of doctors and should
have monument higher than
George Rats heels.
Think this one over: What about
belling birds so they won't wake up
cats when cats are taking cat maps?
No wonder cats eat all the birds
they can lay their paws on, what
with birds whistling and footing and
chirping at all hours of the day and
night with no thought for the COM
fort Of sleepy cats.
Might do story on mans faith
in machines and his lack of faith in
his fellow man. For example: Go
into a grocery store and let clerk
tick off 20 items on the adding ma
chine and you'll pay the bill with
out even looking at the slip. But
let the same clerk write four items
in big figures on paper sack, and
the customer will lean over his
shoulder and add with him, not once,
but two or three times. Consider
what store with trick adding
machine could make in a year.

men. Gov. Dewey will follow on
later.
AS Usual the plain talk about the
matter emanates from Senator Taft.
At a private gathering of his sup
porters recently he said you couldn't
buy the Southern delegates any
more, you had to work for them
as in the rest of the country.
Reports Confirmed.
This smacked of heresy to some
veterans of the smoke filled room
and on the whole was skeptically
received. Yet impartial sources con-
firm it. They don't 60 so far as
to attribute rebirth to the party in
the South; they say 1t can't be
bought and will probably wait for
the band wagon. The latter is
fortunately not a felony in politics.
Senator Taft may fairly be said to
be informed. He had the southern
delegates in 1910. the official ex-
planation being that the Tafts long
had been prominent in southern
causes especially the advancement
of the colored race. The situation
since then has materially altered.

On the Other Hand
Former Member of Un.American
Committee Discusses Its Work

Communists beget Fascists and vice
versa, it could serve well the cause
of our democracy.
But it could also do great harm
"As reread what I have written
and ponder our country's future ]
see the possibility of divisions among
our people growing deeper and ever
deeper until there is at last no cross
ing over of understanding.
Such a result will be made more
likely if the work of such a COM
mittee degenerates into castigation
of any loyal American simply be-
cause he seeks to make progress
faster than the majority is willing
to go. These are the free souls
who have built every great nation
and every great age.
One Thing Will Remain.
IF America tries to become a re-
dictionary or even conservative
nation, she will lose her soul as
certainly as she found 1t as a
struggling young people.
IF, through the action Of such q
committee or from any other cause
we become people afraid to ven
ture, we shall never build that bet
ter world, without whose building
there is only death ahead.
"All men who have ever lived
have tried to find an answer to
their problems. If they could not
find it one way, they have sought
another. And as long as mankind
lives upon this earth it will be so.
Nor can one group of men with
one set Of beliefs sit in Judgment,
ultimately, upon any other group
Fascism, communism, capitalism, all
these and many other isms' will,
with time, pass and be forgotten
But there is one thing that will re-
main-the mind and soul of free
men.
"It is when powerful, highly dis
ciplined forces presume to fetter the
human mind, to condition it to
cruelty, to make it afraid of new
clear thoughts, that we must arise
with all our strength and say no.
This is why believers in liberty
must oppose and expose and
weaken. if we can, every totalitarian
movement in the world. They are
bad because under their heels people
are not free I happen to believe
that if democracy in America
should ever be destroyed it is more
likely to be fascism, better masked,
better financed. and wrapped in
more familiar trappings, that will
perpetrate that crime, though COM
munism at present makes the
greater noise"

the National AS Constantine Brown.
sembly, the men in Mr.. Ramadier's
cabinet took the result as a clear
indication that neither the Assembly
nor the cabinet enjoys the con-
fldence of the French people any
longer.
The Sunday voting showed the
French politicians an unmistakable
new trend in the country and they
have hastened to follow it by ten
dering their designations to the
Premier, who has been in office for
seven months.
OFFICIAL Reason Given.
The official reason for the resigna-
tions is that the government is
faced with insuperable difficulties
The General Confederation of Labor
tCGT, the most powerful French
labor organization, is demanding a
substantial increase in wages. At
the same time there Is an increasing
demand for reduction in the cost
VI living.
In view of the fact that France
is suffering from serious shortages
of raw materials and foodstuffs,
which must be obtained abroad, the
government can yield to neither
demand. Meanwhile. the Commu-
nists, who control at least the Or
ganizational part of the CGT, are
threatening a general strike unless
their demands are accepted. These
are ample reasons in themselves
for the governments resignation.
The real truth is that most of the
cabinet ministers have had enough.
Until last Sunday they could see
a solution in broadening the cabinet
to include Communists in the gov
ernment again. Neither Mr.. Rama
dier nor Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault, his principal associate,
cared for such solution. They

realized that If they accepted Com
munist "co-operation" again in q
constitutional government, they
would end before long as mere
rubber stamps and real power would
belong exclusively to the Commu-
nists. That is what happened In
Poland and Yugoslavia.
No other solution appeared pos
sible in France, however, and Mr.
Ramadier made up his mind to give
some other Socialist leader the op-
portunity to effect this compromise
which he and Mr.. Bidault believed
would turn France completely Red.
Gen. de Gaulle's amazing showing
in the vote changed the situation
Although Mr. Ramadier, an old-time
Socialist. was and is believed to be
still opposed to any cooperation
with Gen. de Gaulle, he realizes that
a cabinet crisis might mean another
general election In which Frances
new trend to the Right would be
shown more positively.
Might Mean BlOOdShed.
The French government and the
foreign observers In France are
aware that a new general election
might mean trouble, and possibly
bloodshed. The Communist leaders
will no longer hesitate to play all
their cards. Faced with probable
defeat at the polls, and resulting dis
pleasure in the Kremlin, they would
use every means at their disposal to
create complete chaos. Since bribery
and vote buying have proved ineffec-
tive, 1t is probable that the organ
lied partisans, under the command
of the former naval officer, Comdr
Jacques Marty, would be ordered
into action.
According TO reports received lately
in Washington. however, discomfort
against the methods of Communist
headquarters has spread to the
lower ranks Of the party and to the
sympathizers. Consequently. few
would be surprised If an order for
a general strike is only partially
effective. The use Of force by the
Communists would be met with force
by the people themselves.
The fact that Gen. de Gaulle
polled 5000 votes more than the
Communists at Marseille is probably
the clearest indication Of how public
opinion has changed In the last few
months. The same phenomenon
occurred in the RED belt" from
Toulouse to the Pyrenees.
The Importance of the changes
now occurring in France cannot be
sufficiently emphasized. In spite of
her defeats and difficulties France
still has great moral influence
throughout continental Europe. If
she succeeds in shaking off COM
munism, 1t might have far-reaching
effects on the whole continent.

Presidential Candidates Begin Invasion
Of South for Convention Delegates

For example Texas reports that
Mr.. Taft's 40 campaign manager
r. B. Creager, Texas National COM
mitteeman, is in some trouble. 1t is
apparently the conviction Of some
we'll l-heeled businessmen in that rich
State that if the Republicans took
their job in earnest they could elect
at least five Congressman and even
do a Presidential candidate some
good.
Money talks about how serious
they are. In 1916 Texas contributed
more money to the Republican Ma
tional Committee than any other
State, their contributions represent
ing 80 per cent of the total received
1t must be remembered that one
reason they sent their money to
headquarters was that they had
little hope Of electing local candi-
dates but still 1t was a handsome
sum.
"Stunting Trees"
This group compares Mr.. Creager
and other veteran Republican lead
ers in the South to Japanese gar
deners who make their money by
deliberately stunting trees. Their
view is that these politicos like a
small party so that when a Re-
publican President is in Office, there
is room on the gravy train for all.
Texas has 33 convention votes, an
important prize. Senator Taft will
visit Dallas, San Antonio and Hous-
ton in an effort to enlist them. He
will have Mr.. Creager's help; other
groups are repeatedly interested in
Gov. Dewey and Mr.. Stassen. The
dark horse, Gen. Eisenhower, was
born in Denison, Tex, and might
be built up.
Florida is another Southern State
which reports that good candidates
and a genuine effort might send
Republicans to the House and make
Democratic presidential nominee
nervous. Most OF the others say it
is still good for business to be a
Democrat.

URGE RANGE SEEDING
Poultry Range Seeding Now Ad-
yised by Experts

Poultrymen can save up to 10
per cent in feed cost per pound of
grain where pasture is used in
raising pullets for the laying flock.
To insure these savings in feed
cost and grow healthier and more
vigorous pullets next season. poul-
try ranges should be seeded be-
tween now and September Is for
use next spring. This is the rec
ommendation of ]. Frank Gordy,
extension poultryman, and c. E.
Phillips, extension agronomist, who
are urging Delaware poultrymen
at this time to more generally
adopt the practice of providing
ranges. Both agree that most
farmers are busy with harvest op-
erations at this season just when
attention and effort are needed in
establishing poultry pastures. But
only by acting now is it possible
to have a range for next season.
