He could have forced legislation on
housing, on education, On minimum

living. He would have had only to
remind his party in Congress of the
solemn obligations written into the

That might not have moved Speaker
Martin, Halleck sand some of the
other die-hards, but it would have
moved enough Of the rank and file
Representatives to have obtained
action. For example, it would have
produced enough Republican sig
natures to force vote on the Taft
Ellender-W Wagner bill. Then the
Governors Senate spokesman, Sena-
tor Ives, wouldn't have had to throw
up his hands and declare the SEN

But all that is behind him. the
Governor hopes. He will endeavor
10 forget the Republican Congress
and give his attention to the short
comings of the President and the
State Department, particularly in
matters of interest to the hyphen-
ated vote. Bipartisanism is all very
well in its way, but the Governor
knows there is not much percentage

For Rankin Today in

by the Associoted Press

TUPELO. Miss, Aug. 24-Rep-
resentative Rankin of Mississippi S
First Congressional District pointed
to his record of 30 years of service
to the people" as the Democratic
primary polls opened today for what
may be his toughest fight.
Mr.. Rankin and his chief op-
penent, Circuit Judge Claude F.
Clayton, ended spirited campaigns
last night. Mr.. Rankin nosed out
Judge Clayton two years ago.
Judge Raymond T. Jarvis of
Bonneville, the dark k-horse candi-
date, made a final radio appeal to
voters early this morning.
Judge Clayton, 38-year-old COM
bat veteran. predicted he will lead
the ticket" today, forcing the cleo
ton into a second primary. Mr.
Rankin, who has not been forced
into a rurof1 since he was first
elected in 1920, said he would win
on the first ballot"
My defeat would be the best news

told voters in Tupelo last night.

is denounced on the front page of

tographer all point up 1he pressure
which Russia is bringing on tAr
Americans in Berlin at a time when
we hoped that the onve,sations in
Moscow would bring an end to the
Berlin difficulties.
The significance of the recent in
cidents in Berlin is that they are
evidence of Soviet determination to
press further with the campaign OF
tightening Russia S hold on the for
mer German capital. They have
no apparent intention to relax their
grip and permit resumption of nor
NAL Allied relations there.
Stage Set for Incident.
If such is the mental attitude of
the Russians it is IDLE to expect to
and settle any issues of importance
Without Russian good will and the
intention to live amicably with tho
Western Allies. there is no point in
placing any substantial value on
diplomatic negotiations with the
Soviet Union.
The United States, living up to
its agreement for the occupation of
Berlin. maintains little more than
corporals guard in its sector of
Berlin. But these few men are
maintaining as sharp a guard as
possible on the limits of the Ameri-
can sector.
If the Russians. defying the pres
ence of American troops, attempt
to invade the American sector, the
stage will be all set for an incident
which could set off a disastrous
chain reaction. The United States

emn obligation to lay fully and
frankly before the American people
his views on world affairs and the
steps he considers necessary in the
interests of the United States and
the peace of the world"
Stuffy, but true. 1t is solemn
obligation. The American people
should not be asked to give any man

Can Appeal to Many.
Gov. Dewey is now revealing how
he would use this power. In this
instance, he would use it to collect
the italian vote if he can.
Presently he may be expected to
feel a solemn obligation to discuss
other overseas issues that have
similar repercussions here at home.
There will be problems involving
the Germans, the Irish, Poles,
Greeks, Firms, Latvians and Lith-
uanians. Voters of those nationali-
ties add up to millions in this coun-
try. The Governor can appeal to
them all, as occasion offers. Matter
of fact he could do so and still claim
that, so far as he is concerned,
politics still stops at the waters
edge; that his only interest is in
the, Germans, Irish. etc, in the
United States
After all it isn't fair to the candi-
date to say mum is' the word or

something and the late, deeply la
mented Eightieth Congress made

difficult for him, It's all very we'll

the record of Congress, but are going
to brag about it. The Governor
knows better. There are some things
you just can't brag about.
Felt No Obligation.
However. now that his secretary
has explained the spirit in which
the Governor views his responsibility
toward foreign affairs, it is pertinent
TO recall that he felt no equally
solemn obligation concerning do
mestic affairs when he had a grand
opportunity to do something useful

cannot stand idly by and permit
the forces of the Soviet Union to
walk unchallenged into American
occupied territory at a time when
Americans who enter the Russian
zone by mistake are taken prisoner
and unreasonably detained.
1t would be possible for us to re-
inforce our troops in Berlin, and
even make our sector defensible
against any eventual Soviet attack,
If we did not adhere so scrupulously
to our agreements with the Rus
slams on the number of troops we
keep there.
Contrary to American good in
tentions and respect for agreements,
the Russians have sent vast rein
forcements of both troops and planes
not only into their part of Berlin,
but into the surrounding areas. If
we draw the logical conclusions from
the evidence at hand we would have
to Delieve-and act on the belief
that the Russians are preparing for
an eventual use of force, first to get
us out of Berlin, then to get us out
of all Of Germany and finally to
expel us from Europe entirely.
Part Of WeIl-Laid Plan.
The Soviet technique of invading
the American sector of Berlin is, of
course. to attempt to break down
our authority in our own zone by
displaying a Grass disregard for the
borders which mark our zone. The
Russians figure that if they can get
away successfully with such tactics
they can follow this up with a claim
to exercise police authority in the
whole city. regardless of the pres
ence of American troops. Finally
will come an attempt to exercise
such complete Jurisdiction.
These recurring incidents must be
regarded as simply the inevitable
friction which arises from the pres
ence of the armed forces of two in
creaslngly hostile powers in areas
which are poorly defined and ILL
marked.
The occupation sectors in Berlin
are well-defned and amply marked
Everybody - Russians. Americans.
Germans and all-knows where one
sector ends and the other begins.
The Russian raids outside their own
zone are not inadvertent, but are
part of well-laid plans to break down
the Berlin occupation sectors and
enforce the Soviet contention thats
Berlin belongs en- toto to the Rus
sian occupation zone.
We will have to be prepared to
defend our position in Berlin against
