NEWS REVIEW
Wallace Enters Race;
Romanian King Leaves

Henry Wallace was deludlng no
one. not even himself, about his
chances of being elected President
of the United States in 1948 on
third party ticket when, with zeal
Gus idealism, he announced that ne
would be an independent candidate.
His entry into the contest. as ne
announced on a nationwide broad
cast from Chicago, was based upon
his revulsion against "the bi-parti-
san reactionary war policy which is
dividing the world into two armed
camps"
Both Republicans and Democrats.
he indicated, can be filed in the
same political pigeon-hole because
both stand for the bipartisan poll
cies which are leading the nation
to war and depression.
''That menace can be met and
overcome only by a new political
alignment in America which re-
quires new political party"
averred the former vice president.
Whether or not it could be met
by third party - peace party"

NEW HIGH:
Farm Prices

u. S. farmers continued to set
new records in price levels, both
for the produce they sell and the
goods they in turn buy.
It was reported by the department
of agriculture that the general level
of farm prices rose per cent be-
tween mid-November and mid
December to a record high of 301
per cent of the 1909-14 average.
Previous al-time high was 289 per
cent, set last October.
At the same time, prices paid by
farmers for items for living and
farm production also reached new
record. On December IS the index
of prices paid was 245 per cent
above the 1909-14 average.
The farm price level in middle
cember, the department said, was
IA per cent higher than January,
1947, and the index Of prices paid
16 per cent higher.
Between mid-November and mid
December, average prices for vir-
tually every group Of farm COM
modities except fruit showed meas
urable increases.

archy in the Soviet sphere of inf1u-
ence in eastern Europe and the last
throne held by the House of Hohen-
zollern.
Michael, as some romanticists
would have had it, might have re-
nounced his throne purely for the
love Of Princess Anne Of Bourbon
Parma and Denmark, but the Com
munist establishment of a "repub-
lie" and immediate reorganization
of the government came too swift
ly, too efficiently to lend much Gre
dence to that theory.
AS the king himself pointed out
in his abdication proclamation, he
was resigning the throne because a
monarchy no longer conceded with
the 'great political, economic and
social changes" in Romania.
Nor was it logical for the Com
munists, grim advocates of their
international dictatorship Of the
proletariat," to be countenancing
and cooperating with a hereditary
monarchy. And Michael had acted
as a sort of brake on some Com
munist actions in Romania.

experimental basis. If customers in
dicate that they are pleased with
this brave new twist in merchandise

spring up in other parts of the coun-
try.
Presupposing that such trend is
established, persons living in small
or rural communities can look for
ward to seeing these robot sales
clerks in their local stores around
1850.

Still in the developmental stage
are other pushbutton marvels which
will accommodate deep-frozen foods
or, to 60 to the other extreme, COM
plete, cooked meals that will erupt
from the vending machine piping
hot and ready to serve instantly or
in an hour or half-hour as you wish.
The deep-freeze and cooked foods
machines, however, are still too ex-
pensive and complex for widespread
use; so housewives can't look for
ward to being emancipated from
standing over hot stove all day for
at least some time.
What happens to the sales clerk
if electrical vending machines
sweep the country on mass scale?
That is a question for which no one
has come up with an answer so far.
AS a matter of fact, no one has
started worrying about 1t yet.

as spurs. Unbelievably, without
credentials, he wormed his way
through beleaguered Belgium to
the German front, where he
learned to hate war. He came
back to fight out a career in
New York.
I'm not going to write any more
of Roy's story for it is his story told
far better than I could hope to re-
count it. can only say that when
World War I came to America he
had his part in it, a fraction of which
l again was lucky enough to share
with him. He was cartoonist on
the Stars and Stripes, after expert
enceS on every front with the
French. I joined him in Paris after
the armistice. Walking down Rue
de la Paix one day with Roy I was
mumbling "reminiscences of riding
beside my battery of 1855. Suddenly
he grabbed me by the arm. Buck"

a book. I'll illustrate it,
OF course, it wasn't poetry but it
was verse the G.I.s of our day un-
derstood and the Illustrations were
art, if art is life - and death -
as Roy had seen it.
We came back and went our sepa-
rate ways. He now had a partner,
Caroline Singer, a perfect compile
ment. She was California news
paper woman. They built a home,
leaving it periodically to travel the
Seven Seas - China, Japan, Europe
again, India, Africa, criss-crossing
out their books in perfect collabora-
ton.

ridge, "are not two evils, they
are the same evil; and safety
without the solidarity of class
conscious groups, screaming
slogans, or party orders to lean
upon, liberals must be staunch
enough to walk a lonely road"
l know that Roy would like to
have me conclude this review - if
you want to call it that. - with the
following quotation which gave him
his title, the biblical quotation:
1.-The race is not to the swift, nor
the battle to the strong, neither yet
bread to the wise, nor yet riches
to men of understanding, nor yet
favor to men of skill; but time and
chance happeneth to them ALL"
would not dare to doubt the
words of the Preacher (Ecclesi-
astes IX:11) but 1 know that
here was a man who grasped
time by the forelOck, was able
to hog-tie and saddle it, and one
who took his chances if not with
out fear, at least without falter-
ing.

Then he concludes:
"All men the same, discount

To reach that conclusion, Roy
made an Odyssey beginning with
the cooking pots'' into domains of
which Homer never dreamed. He
had an artists eye trained from the
age of IL when he was tolerated in
a Chicago art school with young
artists who were later to achieve
national regulations. Such men as
John T. McCutcheon, cartoonist;
Webster, creator of the "Timid
Soul" and many others. Goudy,
the great type designer, who died
last year, was Roy's teacher, along
with the schools director, Frank
Holme, who became second father
to the wide-eyed child. At that
school, Roy learned his most impor-
tant leSson-self criticism.
His mother remarked, and Roy
became bellhop and baggage-smash-
er in his stepfather's small-town
commercial hotel; finally he went to
college on a scholarship which,
when he arrived, he found wasn't
there. Utterly alone, without the So
cial prestige of college fraternity,
he achieved campus success; be-
came what was considered a prom
inent student"
He grew to realize the empti.
ness Of college hOnOrs' but,
unlike Vincent Sheean who was
to follow him, Roy learned to
admire the university which he
had ''cOllegiately" exploited. At
our Goth reunion, he interpreted
the word university" in its OBJ
solete but new meaning: "the
whole all things the
universe :. a body of persons
-. the body Of the people,"

He is a man who inspires high loyal

There was a post-college period
when we lost each other. He was
commercial-arting and living in the
University of Chicago settlement,
where he taught art to little toughs
from the stockyard district, devel-
oped a social conscience, became
a national guard cavalryman (be-
