the confusion worries Chairman
Reece. He may hold It responsible
for the fact that political polls are
showing the White House to be more
popular at the moment than Con-
gress. II so. he probably Is partly
right.
But the ultimate effect should be
good. Compelled to use their heads
in order to save their skins, the Re-
publicans may emerge from the past
and begin to catch up with the prob
lems Of the present. A consummation
devoutly to be wished.

pen.
Chairman Reece cannot be blamed
for wishing for more accord amons
the men now managing Congress
AS one Of his duties he travels about
the country making pep talks, and
1t Is getting so he can hardly open
his mouth without crossing up some
important Senator or Representative
II he takes his cue concerning David
Lilienthal from Senator Taft OF
Bridges or Wherry, he may hear
Senator Vandenberg or Hickenlooper
or Millikin or Knowlapd muttering
"Outrageous!" If he follows Senator
vandenberg in the matter of the st.
Lawrence Waterway, he risks up
setting Senator Taft. If he follows
Senator Taft on reciprocal trade
agreements, he offends Senator
vandenberg. If he joins the House
leaders in demanding six-billion
dollar budget cut. he finds himself
out Of step with Senate leaders who
say 1t can't be done.
Too Many Leaders.
30 It is on any number of issues.
There are just too many leaders and
they are leading in too many
directions.
Senator Morse seemed to think It
was he and other Republican left
wingers that Mr.. Reece had in mind
when he made what the Oregon
Senator called "brazen demand
for reactionary control of the Re-
publican Party" Senator Morse's
mistake. The Republican Old Guard
Is accustomed to having few in
surgents, or what former Senator
Moses called wild jackasses, within
the corral. What bothers Mr.. Reece
Is the fact that his good, sound, con-
servative regulars cannot seem to
get together.
AS said, however, Mr.. Reece's out
burst may serve useful purpose.
1t may cause many Republicans in
Congress to go even further in their
present soul-searching. 1t may cause
more of them to back up and take
fresh start on the problems with
which they are confronted.
G. o. p. Is Learning.
It already has become clear that
many Of the Republicans did not
realize what they were letting them
selves In for when they swooped
down upon Washington to take over
control Of Congress; that they were
unaware Of all that had happened
in the world while they were away.
Some have been learning, however,
and most are beginning to discover
that the stump speeches of last
summer and fall won't take the place
Of the craftsmanship needed now.
They are learning that life is real
and life is earnest.
Haranguing the New Deal hasn't
solved any problems. Talking about
free enterprise hasn't built any
houses or bought any shoes for the
baby. Removing the "shackles" from
business hasn't brought prices within
reach. And labor is still alive and
kicking.
So the Senators and Representa-
tives are forced to do some think
ing. They naturally find different
answers. That causes confusion and

BODY as MrS. Roosevelt, and an
just as susceptible to bullet wounds
as Mckinley or Garfield. My famil.
history Is Just as fine as any Adams
because I can trace my lineage Il
the Garden Of Eden which is sup.
posed to be the starting gate o1
the human race. Lincoln couldn'
wear clothes any worse than I do
and I can match chins with Herber,
Hoover. My stomach enters thu
room just as far ahead Of me a
did Cleveland's or Taft's, and I car
go through 5000 a year as fast az
any man who ever lived in the
White House.
AS for nepotisrn and patronage,
have not one but two brothers who
were born to be Postmaster Gen.
erals, and an uncle who is already
an experienced cabinet member
having spent every week end for
years In steam cabinet in a
Turkish bath. This uncle has had
50 much steam in and about him
that . COW catcher is all he needs
to double for a Santa Fe locomo-
tive.
Doesn't Seek Office.
But despite all Of these obvious
qualifications, I want to make 1t
very plain that I am not presiden-
tial timber and those two old politi-
cal parties might as we'll let me
alone. Those keynoters who have
been digging up my humble be-
ginnings are just wasting their time.
I am not going to run for President.
S For every qualification, have a
drawback. To start with, can't
hold an artificial grin for more than
8 minutes, and . man who can't
smilingly bare his fangs for at least
IL minutes for the newsreel and still
photographers Is not worthy Of the
worlds highest elective office. Fur+
thermore, the White House has a
miserable habit OF rejecting q large
percentage Of gifts addressed to the
President. This is a theory to which
I cannot subscribe. On the con-
trary, my public addresses would
be filled with subtle hints as to
family birthday dates, wedding an
niversaries and portgage-due dates.
I am quite sure that would wind
up my messages to Congress on q
whining note, saying there was q
leak in the Lincoln room, that my
white shirts already had been
turned at both cuff and collar, and
that 1t didn't seem proper to me
that the. President had to spend
his Sunday mornings tinkering with
. broken-down, prewar washing
machine.
Doesn't Like to Travel.
The country just wouldn't like
my Inner circle" One of my most
intimate associates would be a
crooked jockey who could give me
the real lowdown on tomorrow,s
winners. Let him give me a win
ming three-horse parlay and I would
reward him with the ambassador
ship to the Court Of st. James.
My White House jester would be
no amateur like George Allen, tell
er Of secondhand Pullman tales,
but some one like Joe e. Lewis or
Peter Lind Hayes.
! don't like to travel and I don't
like Washington in the summer
time. White House protocol calls for
parties to break up about 10 o'clock.
I couldn't stand that. That's Just
about the time I'm he1innfn0 IN ha
the life OF the party, putting on
girls hats and shooing everybody
toward the kitchen.
So, have withdrawn from the
presidential field and left it to
Truman, Deweys stassen, Warren,
Bricker, Taft and, naturally, Nor
man Thomas. I hope mamma will
not be too disappointed.

Vatican May Make Five New Saints

VATICAN CITY, (R)-A hero of Switzerland, three French religi- ous. figures and an Italian priest were advanced today on the long road toward canonization.
 In secret consistory held in conSiStorial hall of the Apostolic Palace, Pope Plus XII got the vote of the Cardinals present-given by lifting their skullcaps-for the ele- Vation to sainthood of Nicola de Flue of Switzerland, Lubovico Griggnion de Montfort, Michele Garicoits and Catherine Laboure of France and Giuseppe Cafasso of Italy.
 Thereafter, in a public consist ory, the Pontiff heard advocates plead the causes for canonization and as is traditional replied that he would take counsel in a latter semi-pubfic consistory with the episcopate "in partibus"-the arch bishops and bishops residing in Rome and vicinity.
 This was a formality, however, and dates for the elaborate cere- monies in the Bazilica of St. Peters at which the five will be named individually as saints already had been set.

But Must We Do Our Thinking By Machines?
tBy Gene Lindberg)
Denver Post Staff Write


 Thinking machines, Lord Louis Mountebatten tells us in a London speech, are just around the scien tific corner-2adgets that will ex ercise choice and judgment. Such thingummies, says the kings cOus- in, could even play mediocre chess.
 Do we wanc 'em? Will they curse us or bless us? There's a neat little problem in choice and judgment Let us wait till the machines are built and let them figure it out, for built they will be if, as Lord Mountebatten predicts, their con struction is possible. Like the atomic bomb, they'll be with us, if science can get 'em here. One Of the first and greatest lessons Edi- son ever learned came early in his inventing career He and another lad figures out an automatic VOt- ing machine for Congress. All a Congressman had to do was to push a button on his desk anu lis "aye" or may" was recorded and counted automatically, up front. Issues could be decided in mere seconds and Congress could breeze merrily or to debate on other busi- ness. Efficient, very. And did the Congressional bigwigs jump to snap it up? They did not. They told that young whippersnapper, Tom Edison, and his buddy that the last thing in the world Con- gress wanted was hair-t trigger, split second voting. Where then would be the time to send a page kiting to the cloak-room to grab Con- greSsman McGullicuddy from Osh- kosh by the coattails and drag him in to do his stuff for the boys?
 Thumbs down" was the vote on that voting machine, but the legislative bigshots added a kindly bit of advice that Edison never forgot. eff you must be an inven- tor" they told him, "stick to in- venting things that people really want" Edison needed their words, and now look. Electric lights!

'em. Nothing seems impossible, now. But suppose a business mans choice and judgment machine tells him to buy Plastic Collarbutton Common at 5678 because the stage is all set for the stuff to hit 90 within three weeks. All the facts are weighed and considered by the n-ach.ne. and that's the ansWec. So, the big chump buys and what happens? The stuff Hops to 1678 overnight and beds down in the cellar for keeps. Why? Did the ma chine slip up?
 Nope. What happened was, the bigShot banker in the syndicate backing Plastic Collarbutton com mon had a maiden aunt. This maiden aunt believed in dreams. That night she had a dream she saw black cat across her banker nepheW'S path as he stopped to pick up collarbutton and a truck hit him. She woke up screaming. The banker got so upset he backed out of the syndicate and the whole deal flopped.
 Give us a machine to predict maiden aunt's bad dreams, Lord Louis, and we'll say you've got something.

Britain Won I Discuss
Auckland Reports Of
New Super Weapon
By the Associated Press

z LONDON, June 13.-British gov
ernment ministries refused to COM
ment today on New Zealand reports
concerning the purpofted develop
ment of the top-secret super weapon
approaching the atomic bomb in
importance.
The Defense Ministry. the Air
Ministry, the War Office, the Admi-
ralty and the Ministry of Supply
all refused to discuss stories out OF
Auckland which quoted most reli-
able" sources as saying research on
such an offensive weapon was
started in 1914 and still was being
carried on in the strictest secrecy
by scientists in New Zealand, Great
Britain and the United States.
Had the project been completed
in time it might have played role
as effective as the atom bomb in
the subiugation of Japan the New
Zealand Herald of Auckland re-
ported.
Without discounting the effec-
tiveness of the project as an Often
sive weapon" the paper continues,
ut does not offer such a threat to
world peace as the atom bomb.
This may not be amplifled further
than saying that things pertaining
to it are under control -
Scientist Honored.
First reports that such research
was underway followed publication
of the royal birthday honors list in
which Prof. David James Leech was
made commander of the British
Empire. Reports in Auckland said
Prof. Leech had taken leading
part in the coordination and de-
velopment of research on the
project.
The New Zealand high commits
sioner's Office here, when asked
about the Auckland reports, said it
had never heard Of Prof. Leech.
There was no hint from any
source as to the nature of the
project, and SO far as was known
only New Zealand, Britain and the
United States had the informa-
ton. A wellington man was said
to have presented the idea to mill
tary authorities in December, 1943.
This idea was said to have been
shared with the United States in
January, 1914, after which the re-
search planning was begun.
The informants said Florida first
was chosen as a center for the re-
search, but that because of the
danger of espionage the work was
carried out principally in New Zeal
and.

Prof. Leech told a reporter that
he regarded the honor bestowed on
him by the King as tribute not
especially to himself but to the
many people who worked with him
on various defense activities-in-
|cluding secret projects during the
war.
The Sydney Daily Mirror quoted
him as saying the purported new
