On the Other Hand
Herbert Hoover Had Problem Like

now got over their scare. Another
war threatened the world. That
scared the plain people. They
pumped by the million for the man
who had proved himself a great
leader in the war just ended. The
people haven't got over their scare
and their desire for Gen. Eisen-
hover. But that doesn't mean they
can have him. The party managers
are against them and the party
managers will have the last word.
Something of an analogy can be
found in the first political appear
ance Of Herbert Hoover. 1t is not
complete analogy. since in 1920
the people were not fearful of a
war and the Republicans were not
fearful of the Democrats. But Her
bert Hoover did suddenly emerge as
a peoples choice. His work as re-
lief administrator in Europe had
made him a living legend. hu-
manitarian superman.
Interviewed in Europe in the late
summer of 1919, he let 1t be known
that he had no political ambition.
On his return to this country in
September he said he did not want
to be a candidate. He repeated this
disavowal in December.
Politics Were Unknown.
Meantime nobody knew whether
he was a Democrat or Republican.
Early in January statement he
made regarding the relief problem
was interpreted by political experts
as tentative move toward politics
and on January % his business as
sociate, Julius H. Barnes, discussed
his candidacy as a serious possibility.
That same day the New York
World, leading Democratic organ in
those days, declared itself for Mr..
Hoover's nomination. A tremendous
debate within the party was touched
off thereby. Bryan, who still car
ried weight, said it would be neces-
sary to know something of Mr..
Hoover's views. When these were
not Immediately forthcoming, Bryan
announced the Democrats could not
consider him. January %, Mr..
Hoover refused to allow his name
entered in the California Republican
primary February 26 he declined
to qualify as a Democrat in Georgia
March 26 he wired the Hoover Re-
publican Club in California that he
would accept under certain condi-
tions.
In June, out of total of 984 votes
in the Chicago convention, Mr..
Hoover received 51a on the first, 91a
on the tenth and final ballot.

Fight on Bills 10 Curb
|Subversive Activities
ey the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, April 17-More than
100 persons, including three House
members from New York, opened an
organized drive yesterday against
Federal legislation aimed at control
Of subversive activities in the United
States.
Plans for defeat of the proposed
Legislation were made during two
hour meeting which was closed to
lnewsmen.
Chairman of the meeting was
Representative Marcantonio, Ameri-
can Labor Party. Mr.. Marcantonio
said his fellow ALP Representative,
Leo Isacson Of the Bronx. and Rep
resentative Powell, Democrat, were
associated with him in the move
lment.
Mr.. Marcantonio told reporters
after the meeting that a provisional
executive board would call a State
wide organization conference on
May 8.
Fight Is Planned.
| Len Goldsmith, editor of the CIO
Teachers Union publication Teach
ers' News" said he had been made
secretary of the board. He quoted
Mr.. Marcantonio as saying:
This is a last-stand fight to pre-
serve democracy In this country. If
this fight Is lost, all is lost. It is q
danger that affects every Ameri-
can"
The antisubversive legislation was
reported on April 10 by the Sub
committee on Legislation of the
House Un-American Activities Com
mittee.
Mr.. Goldsmith and Mr.. Marcan-
tonic said other members of Con-
gress, including Senator Taylor,
Democrat, of Idaho, Henry WAL

The meeting adopted a resolution
charging that the legislation would
violate the Bill Of Rights by using
the Fascist anti Communist tech
nique": eliminate progressive Or
ganizations; create a police state,
and would "black out all thought
that does not conform with the
wishes" Of members of the House
American Activities Committee.

$14,909,919, compared with s16,600,.

himself unavailable in this hour OF

Privately the general may have
erinned and said to himself, That's

nothing.
The interesting thing in this ef-
fort of the ADA to give the Demo-
cratic Party a winning candidate
is that the ADA has no more knoWl-
edge than anybody else concerning
Gen. Eisenhowers actual party pref
erence, if any. 1t simply hopes that
he is or is willing to be a Demo-
crat. Some of the statements he
has made, including his fortnight
remuneration of political ambition,
have had distinctly liberal quality,
it is true. And then there is that
story, perhaps apocryphal, relating
that the first and only vote he ever
cast was for William Jennings
Bryan.
Republicans Started Promotion.
Offsetting these slight evidences is
the fact that the original promotion
of his name came from close Re
publican friends, some Of them i'm

dentally, most of these Republicans,
now that Democratic prospects have
come to look bleak, are no longer

of two sets of fears. Mr.. Truman

she replied simply, "I'm not afraid
of tonight or afterwards" 1t was
quite true; she felt strong now, and
confident, ready for anything the fu.
ture might hold.
He kissed her gently and the car
moved forward again, slowly now
as though the future had become
too precious for any risk. A bright
ly lighted building doomed before
them, and Terry stopped again at
the foot of a flight of stone steps.
He picked up her suitcase and
stepped out of the car, then turned
to take her arm.
Joyce looked up eagerly at the
words cut over the entrance to the
building:
LAKEWOOD MATERNITY HOS
PITAL."
She smiled at her husband grave
ly, reassuringly, and together they
started up the steps toward the
welcoming lights.

New Army Technique
Aids Plane Survivors

GOOSE BAY, LABRADOR. - A
new technique for rescuing survivors
of plane crashes in the frozen Labra-
dor Wristbands by pin-pointing dog
sled teams by parachute has been
developed by the air transport COM
mand.
The newly developed operation
"dogsled" will save precious hours
for plane crash survivors exposed to
the bitter cold and possibly suffer-
ing from injuries received when
their craft plunged earthward.
Conceived by Sgt George E. Abb
bot, Norfolk, Va, the unusual res
cue operation is especially valuable
because some areas of the woody
terrain in Labrador are so dense that
helicopters cannot land.
Huskies, sleds and para-doctors
jump from CATS via the silk chute
route and gather together at focal
point where the dog team, are as
sembled. Then the unit p eeds to
the scene of the crash where it adj
ministers first aid, evacuates the
seriously wounded and provides
food.
The entire procedure lasts only
few minutes, contrasting sharply
with the hours and days that it has
taken overland rescue teams to
reach some crash scenes in the past.

to have, and then to think those
thoughts and keep on thinking
them long enough until thinking
them becomes habit.
Let's say that at the present
time you are willy-nilly about every
thing you do. You can't make up
your mind. You waver. You post
pone. You can't make decisions.
Those things are sign of faulty
thought habits.
Decide that for one week you will
act decisively, even if wrongly, in
little things. During that week act,
live, carry yourself like a person
of resolute habits.
Maybe one weeks experiment
isn't going to be long enough to
overthrow the faulty thought habits
of a lifetime, but it will help. 1t
will be long enough to put you on
the road to right thinking and to
right habits.
Dig deeply enough into the way
the person you admire the most
lives, and you probably will find
that he is controlled by a series
of habits-right habits. The sum
total of those habits is what gives
him his personality, his attractive
ness. The sum total of good habits
in your life will do just as much
for you.

Twins Are Identical,

teal.
When they reported to the school
dentist, DR.. George M. Teasdale,
with toothaches in corresponding
molars, DR.. Teasdale insisted he
never before had heard of such
coincidence.
To their mother, however, it was
an old story. The twins lost the
same corresponding first baby teeth
on the same day. Similar circum-
stances also surrounded the loss Of
their second teeth.

"Joyce, dearest!" he whispered.
They were silent then, and the
moon-bathed landscape sped past
as his foot pressed hard on the gas
pedal. It was early spring, and the
cool night air blowing in through
the car window had the restless,
exciting smell of new growth.
At last they were out of the
country, coming into the suburbs
of town, where street lights
dimmed the moon and houses stood
in dark huddled rows.
Terry slowed the car, then sud-
denly pulled up to the curb and
turned to the girl beside him. His
arms went around her and his head
bent down to hers.
II love you, Joyce" he said
against her soft hair. "Are you
afraid of tonight"
She thought fleetingly of the
moment in her room when she
said goodbye to her girlhood, but
that moment was passed, swept
away by the tide of new emotions.

LET'S TALK
ABOUT NoM

BY CHARLES B. ROTH

Because you have been warned so
many times against breaking habits,
you may have jumped to the con-
clusion that all habits are bad. But
they aren't. I think the number of
good habits is greater than the
number of bad habits.
You may be astonished when l
tell you that being more effective
and successful in your life is largely
a matter of habit. What mean
is that clever and successful people
have formed helpful habits of think
ing and doing, while neurotic and
unsuccessful people have the wrong
kind of habits. That is the chief
difference between them.
Look at a habit in this way and
you will see what I mean. What is
habit except doing-or thinking
the same thing often enough until
doing or thinking it becomes auto
matte, and you do every customary
act in the same way. Such action
is called "habitual action" When
you think the same thoughts often
enough until they have become
thoughts that come and 60 without
your bidding, really without your
control, you are doing habitual or
Infatuated thinking.
Now, the secret Of winning the
right kind of personality and place
in life is simply to determine
pattern of thoughts that you want

President Truman got q little
peeved recently over the same
line of columnar chatter and be-
gan to '1et 1t be known" that he
could write himself. OF course,
all presidents get advice, counsel,
assistance and inspiration from
many men of many minds. Of
course, there are humanitarians
and grammarians, stylists and
Carlyle-ists, photographers and
geographers, economists and
agronomists, Russians, Prussians
and Persians upon whom he can
call if the need arises.
And somehow or other, each and
all, if they but contribute one jot
or title to the sacred paper, think
they wrote the whole - or at least
the stenographer who had to take
down all the stuff hopefully offered
for possible presidential use thinks
so, and tells her friends about 1t -
confidentially.
The prob e m of presidential
speeches is much to the fore these
days for this reason: President
Truman and his advisers, despite
the rebel yells, the walls of the
defeatists, the triumphant roar of
the elephant and the ominous hoof-
beats of the polls as they Gallup
downhill, still believe he has
fighting chance to return in Novem-
Der to the White House, and he
intends to fight for it.
The President is going on
speaking tour of the West - of
course, it isn't a campaign, that
would be undignified and immodest
before the convention has asked.
He will speak under no "'political
sponsorship" But he will speak
and he is going to ad lib, as we say
in the trade. Even if we hadn't had
our ears conditioned for IL long
years by the golden voice that
breathed over the firesides, the I'M
oratorical oratory of Harry Truman
when he reads a speech, be it ever
so humble, never would be mis-
taken for the vox humana or the
angels chorus.
But when Harry Truman gets up
and talks, he's very human, very
sensible, and not altogether un-
persuasive. So from now on, he's
going to speak extemporaneously,
no matter how much preparation
it takes.
He showed what he could do with
out notes or manuscript (and with
out learning by rote) when he
addressed the newspaper publish
ers and the Gridiron club in April,
and again in May when he talked
off-the-cuff to the national confer
ence on family life in Washington.
And since such speeches aren't
written, nobody can say he wrote
them for him.

Next month a national confer
ence for the prevention of World
War III" will be held on the cam
pus of Grinnell college in Iowa.
The purpose is to present a
definite, concrete working plan to
prevent third world war; methods
which can be presented to the two
national political conventions at
Philadelphia"
The roster of speakers will in
clude representatives of many of
the organizations now working for
single sovereign, world organiza-
ton.
Meanwhile Winston Churchill is
hammering steadily at his purpose
of building a United States of
Europe. Although the Attlee gov
eminent has not approved the
idea, the prime minister himself
has spoken words of encourage
ment regarding the formation of
real liberalization of the west
ern union.
Attlee even went so far as to say
that Britain was willing to sacrifice
her sovereignty in part to bring it
about, although he qualified the
promise by saying the time was
not yet ripe for such step.
But Churchill wants to strike
now. He received considerable
support from the unofficial gath
ering in the Hague - a forum, they
called it-composed of representa-
tives Of the Marshall plan coun-
tries, plus exiled leaders.
Churchill's proposals and the
Grinnell conference are both part of
the tremendous Twill to peace" that
currently is finding expression.
Perhaps eventually we will learn
that great lesson of history - to
yield the sovereignty that causes
wars to the kind of sovereignty
that allows not only the other free
doms to the individual but which,
also will give him freedom from
the FEAR of war. Just as the
liberalization Of the separate COL
onies made the citizen of the state
Of New York free from the fear Of
war with the state Of Pennsylvania
"a situation possible because both
recognize higher sovereignty -
the United States government.
