by Senator Taft's campaign man
ager, Representative Brown, who
early cast practical eye over his
native State and murmured about
IA to 8. Senator Taft objected
to this candor at the time but 1t
appears to be on the nose.
Although Senator Taft, who ini-
TALLY feared the worst, is satisfied
with the results, Mr.. Stassen made
progress in his first test in an in
dustrial area. 1t is not all he wanted
but it is something. He will now
turn with redoubled vigor to Ore
eon where his only rival there. Gov
Dewey, is already transforming.
Taft Back at Work.
Senator Taft, who has been de-
manding via long distance telephone
that all major issues in Congress
await his return, flew back here i'm
mediately after voting and is hard
at work. He is aware that his great
share in making the Republican
record represents his best chance
for the nomination; he never want
ed primary fights and especially re-
sents Mr.. Stassen dragging him in
to one at home.
Now safe on first, Senator Taft
can ponder what punishment best
fits the crime of that brash young

his unusual action in entering the
favorite sons primary. A dozen
delegates wouldn't make enough diff
ference in the national convention
to offset the bad feeling engendered
not only in the Taft camp but
among party regulars generally. AS
a demonstration of strength it would
have been convincing only if Mr.
Stassen had merely allowed his
name to be filed and then left the
rest to chance. Senator Borah did
that on an earlier occasion and
picked up five Ohio delegates.
Made 1t Real Battle.
But Mr.. Stassen chose to make It
real battle. Why? Not because
he has anything against Senator
Taft or disagrees with him funda-
mentally on national policy. Not
because he, any more than anybody
else, regards Senator Taft as the
man that has to be beaten in Phila-
delphia-the Ohio Senator long
since ceased to have that Importance
Mr.. Stassen could have had but one
purpose. 1t was to demonstrate his
own great vote-getting ability, to
give his candidacy the appearance
Of crusade that was sweeping the
country and could not be denied. If
the demonstration was made he
would not need to be concerned
over the feelings he had hurt in the
process.
1t didn't work out that way. Sen
ator Taft, it is true, emerges as a
man without great political appeal.

birthstone and point out Gov.
Dewey is mad too.
But the Senator is normally more
interested in issues than in person.
alitieS-it is one Of his weaknesses
as a campaigner. Malice and pet
tlness are not in his nature. Both
Gov. Dewey and Mr.. Stassen have
been heard to express the opinion
that whatever his disappointments
Senator Taft would never try tt
block another's nomination on per.
sonal grounds.
With the new evidence that a
Taft-DeWey-Stass deadlock is ir
prospect, politicos suggest more
strongly than ever that Senator
Vandenberg will be the compromise
nominee.
Campaign Unsatisfactory.
The rather indecisive Ohio results
reflect the generally unsatisfactory
tenor OF the campaign. The candi-
dates stormed aboard with ruffles
and fourishes; Mr.. Stassen imme-
diately raised the issue Of liberal
versus reactionary and needed Sen
ator Taft into a who's a liberal?"
argument.
Their audiences responded to the
controversial note. Yet reflection
usually proved that neither one Of
fered lasting food for thought, that
their differences were largely in per-
sonality and approach rather than
aims.
Senator Taft says Democrats
crossed over to vote against the au-
thor of the Taft-Hartley Act and
thus sWelled Stassen totals, which
are respectfully close to Senator
Taft's. Impartial on-the-spot OBJ
servers agree this is true In several
districts.
The surprise was Mr.. Stassen's
failure to elect his single-shot
among the nine candidates for dele
gate-at-large. Mr.. Stassen said it
would be victory If his one equall-

nine; actually he fell well below 1t.

been forced to accept the factual
situation.
Although the Soviet has engaged
in no provocative acts recently, the
underground work of Soviet agents
both Russians and Germans in
the service of the U. S. S. R.-has
been stepped up.
The theme of Russian propaganda
in the western sectors of the city
Is that Berlin by right of conquest
should be wholly Russian and has
been severed from its natural eco
nomic base, the Soviet occupation
zone.
Say Stain Sent Food.
Radio speakers in the Soviet zone
proclaim several times a day the
fact that Berlin was fought for
street by street, house by house. by
Red soldiers, and unlike Hanover
or Frankfurt, was not surrendered
to the western armies by the Nazi
leaders and war proflteers on the
strength OF telephone call"
Berliners are reminded that, in
spite of the bitterness of the strug-
gle against the NaA defenders, "the
first move of the great leader Stain
after the city was surrendered was
to send trainloads Of food and fuel
to help the poor starving noncom-
bstant population.
In contrast with this humani-
tartan action, the Russians are tell
ing the Berlin inhabitants, the
Western Allies carried on ruthless
and uncalled-for destruction of open
German cities, such as Dresden, by
means Of air power" Throughout

Must Come Under Soviet Control

the war, the Berliners are told, Red
Army aviation never INDUCED in any
wanton destruction Of open cities
and civilian centers, but confined
itself exclusively to fighting the Nazi
air force and military targets"
After violently denouncing those
German reactionaries and mo-
nopolists" in the western zone who
still support the American-British
capitalistlc system, the Soviet
propagandists insist daily that
since the Soviet Army single
handedly captured the former Reich
capital, Berlin soon must come un-
der exclusively Russian control and
eventually must be handed over to
a new democratic" German gov
ernment which would work in clos
est relationship with Moscow.
Can't Tell True Story.
No effort is made by American
and British authorities in Berlin to
point out that American troops
reached the city's suburb of Pots
dam several weeks before the Rus
sian Army was anywhere near.
Since the Yalta agreements are
still kept top officially, at
least-Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the
American occupation commander,
cannot tell the true story Of how
important American units pene-
trated to within a few miles of
Hitler's stronghold, but were
ordered to withdraw behind the
Oder River because at Yalta
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill had agreed to
let the Russians have the honor
OF being the first to enter the
German capital, in recognition of
their successes in the East.
The western leaders were con-
vinced that Premier Stain wanted
this honor merely as a gesture to
the valor Of the Red fighters. AS
has now become evident, 1t was a
carefully planned scheme to es-
tablish Red domination in the
heartland Of Europe.
Persistent Russian propaganda
against the "intruders"-American,
British and French occupation au-
thorities in Berlin-is considered
part Of the cold war Moscow is
waging against the West.
This propaganda Is being resisted
with the means we have at our dis
posal. But no one knows when the
Russians, using their well-organized
German stooges in the army of
liberation" will change their words
for deeds.
