wants him. Some Democrats do not,
simply because they want an ener-
getic chairman they can be sure
will stay continuously on the job.
This aspect does not seem to regis

limped along quite happily with

Organization Democrats who can

Missouri Caution.
The famous Missouri caution ex-
presses itself in other ways than
party politics around the White
House. On the fire are tremendous
plans and policies for which the
country might be prepared by ju-
dicious use Of the White House
sounding board both publicly and
privately. Nothing is vouchsafed
and it is dificult to induce the few
able to pass on the true word to
speak.
Yet the returning Congress will
be asked to approve unusual meas
ures quickly. It is an old grippe OF
theirs that they are asked to act on

With the Senate adjourning, as
it usually does, by $50 pm, he finds
time to keep appointments in his
Office for an hour or so before put
ting some more papers in his brief
case and leaving for home. That
brief case is something Of measure
of the man. 1t Is large one and it
is overstuffed with information.
Recently the members of the Repub-
lican Policy Committee decided that
the one he had been Juggling about
was worn out. They bought him a
new one, two inches bigger in every
dimension, which made it resemble,
in size and appearance, an old
fashioned Gladstone bag. If he
looked no further, Mr.. Taft would
not lack for reading matter after
dinner.
Likes Parties and Dinners.
But the Senator doesn't always 60
straight home from the Office. He
sometimes meets Mrs. Taft, his in
separable helpmeet and political
partner, at a cocktail party or an
informal dinner. He likes cocktail
parties and dinners, not so much for
the cocktails as for the conversation.
The talk at such parties in Wash
ington, at least SO far as he is in
volved in it, generally concerns pub
lie affairs, on which he naturally has
plenty to say. So he has a good
time and is himself good company.
Those who entertain the Tafts in
the course Of their travels will find
this to be the case, particularly if
they like to be edited with forth
right facts and opinions.
The Senator, of course, will not
expect to conquer the West at cock

The immediate and most impor-
tant thing in Greece right now Is
its defense against the increasingly
active guerrillas In the north. Eco
nomic and political questions will
arise. as soon as the menace to
Greece's independence has been re-
moved.
The crisis came a few days after
Gen. Markos Vifiades, the nominal
leader of the Greek guerrillas. an
nounced the formation Of q free"
government in the guerrilla held
areas. It's capital is still somewhere
on alien territory. But Gen. Vifiades
established a quasi-legal claim for
his new regime after having pro-
claimed the dethronement Of the
Greek dynasty and having decreed
the Athens, regime outlawed. The
present crisis is simply playing In
Gen. Vifiades' hands.
Jockeying for Power.
While the Athens politicians are
jockeying for position and power,
the State Department fully expects
that Yugloslavia, Bulgaria and AL
bania soon will extend their official
recognition to the new free" gov
eminent, which is sponsored by Mos
COW through Marshal Tito. Recog-
milton by the U. s. s. r. is not ex-
pected in the immediate future:
What will happen in the United
Nations when one member, Yugo-
slavia, breaks of relations with an
other member, Greece, and extends
its recognition to a government
which is not, accepted by the United
Nations, is a Chinese puzzle. There
is not a single article in the United
Nations Charter to take care of such
a situation. which may arise before
the General Assembly meets in New
York September 16.
To add fuel to the Balkan flames
come reports from Bulgaria indicat-

ing that the Moscow controlled Sofia
government has ordered large forces
to Bulgaria's border to cope with
"aggressions of the royalist armies
against Bulgaria's territorial intes-
rity."
According to reports from Athen,
and salonika-which are accepted
as factual by American and British
military observers-between fou1
and six Soviet tank divisions ar
rived in Bulgaria in August from
Gen. Georgi Zhukov's command In
Odessa to bolster the frontier de.
fense of the Soviet satellite.
Gen. Zhukov is in command o1
the largest Soviet combat army
which is quartered in Southern
Russia to meet any eventuality
This force is estimated by Turkish
intelligence-the only organization
capable of obtaining first-hand in
formation about the Soviet army
at about 100 divisions, including
tanks and paratroopers.
t1FSt ln0lC6tlOn Oh OkCSs
So far only instructors and tech
nicians have been sent to Mace
donia by Russia to train the fight
ing teams which have attacked
Greece for the last Il months. The
reported movement of tank divi-
sions to Bulgaria is the first tangi-
BILE indication that Russia Is ready
now to support the forthcoming
assault on Greece with a military
force.
In the midst of these grave de-
velopments. the politicians in
Athens have continued to play the
old game which contributed so
much in the past to the country's
troubles. Whether a more capable
and energetic government can be
formed is difficult to answer. At
this moment Greece's problems are
not economic, or even political.
They are purely military.
Washington recognizes that the
outcome depends on whether the
Greek army will be able to ward
of the Forthcoming campaign from
across the Greek border. From
available reports 1t appears highly
doubtful that the military forces OF
the Athens government are up to
their task. The secondhand even
more important-question is wheth-
er, in keeping with the UN
Charter and in defiance Of Russia 8
veto, the United States and other
like minded nations will be able to
muster the force necessary to de-
fend Greece's independence.
The unpleasant aspect of the
Greek crisis is that it is likely to
lower even further the already low
morale of the Greek people and
thus play into the hands Of those
who want to to place the country
behind the iron curtain.

Graf Spec Wreekage.
We went down to the harbor and
through binoculars were able to see
part Of the Graf Spec that still
sticks above the waters. That must
have been quite q tight as the
people here tell about 1t. She was
badly injured In battle at sea
and came limping into port for re-
pairs. The Uruguayans were very
pro-Allies, however, and they quick
ly announced that the Graf Spec
could stay In port for only "a hours.
She was unable to be repaired in
that short length Of time, though,
so her German crew took her out
and scuttled her.
The food here is the best I have
ever tasted in my life, though I am
told that when we get to the Argen-
tine 1t will be just as good. Today
we had lunch at Morino's restau-

going out to meet the people" and
that isn't where one meets the most
people. Actually there Is no way
by which a candidate can meet more
than an ipfinitesimal fraction OF the
people on any such excursion. He
can expose himself to thousands
from public platforms and, If it is
a formal campaign trip, to thousands
more from an open automobile along
the parade route. He will make
platform appearance as well as, no
doubt, some from the rear Of his
train. But mostly he will meet the
people in an indirect manner. at

In addition to the limited num-
ber that meet him face to face he
will meet many more through the

hands and talking with people they
know or who are part Of their own
local scene. He'll be admiring or
making little jokes about things
that are part of their daily lives.
They'll have the feeling that they've
really met him.
VIII Meet Politicians.
One part of the population the
definitely will ineet-the
politicians. These he'll meet face to
face. Every candidate wants to do
this. He wants their reaction to his
views and his charm, II he goes In
for charm. Mr.. Taft doesn't 60 in
for charm, but he is filled with views.
He doesn't offer them as a means
Of trying them out, however, but A.
a means of enlightening his
listeners.
There's where Mr.. Taft may en-
counter trouble in his process Of
the West. While the local
politicians may be awed by his grasp
of foreign affairs or Government fl
nance, they won't be impressed by
an equally cocksure grasp of mat
ters that affect them more immedi-
ately. They will prefer to have the
candidate accept their answers to
such questions and have no answers
of his own. This little two-faced
trick doesn't come easily to Mr..
Taft, but 1t may be he can per-
form it.
After all, that big. new. handsome
brief case is a gift from fellow Sen
ators representing all sections OF the
country and nearly all shades Of

BASEBALL OPENS
IN TAR HEELIA,
HOME OF STARS

CHARLOTTE, April u - tR -
The baseball season opens Tues
day in North Carolina, home of
more minor league teams than
any other state.
Action begins in this haven Of
the bush leagues when Charlotte
and Rock Hill, S. c., and Fayette-
vile and Reidsville of the Class B
Tri-State league tangle Tuesday
night.
From then until late September
So teams in six leagues will be
in action.
Baseball in North Carolina is
baseball in its toughest stages. OF
the 36 clubs, 26 are of the Class D
variety, and they can't get any
lower in professional baseball.
The Class B Tri-State loop, which
includes one Tennessee and three
South Carolina members, is the
fastest league. Six more cities have
clubs in the Class c Carolina lea
que. Then come the Class D or.
charlottesville eight team To-
bacco State League, the Coastal
Plain League, also with eight
teams, the North State circuit, an
other eight team affair, and then
two clubs in the tiny four-membe1
Blue Ridge League.
These bushes have borne well.
Forty-three men on the 1947 ma.
jor league rosters have played for
a North Carolina team at one time
or another. Every major league
team except the Philadelphia Ath-
letics has a North Carolina alum
nus.
- The 1916 "rookie batting king"
OF minor league baseball, Ed
Wayne of S%ayreville,- N. Y, won
the crown with Lenoir Of the Blue
Ridge loop.
Much of the rookie crop comes
from North. Carolina American
Legion teams, always among the
best in the country. The state
has produced three national cham
pions in Legion ball.
