into the waters of the Singing

yard with powerful engines
throbbing in a tune up, she awaits
the official trials on Saturday.
This tow boat powered by twin
diesel engines is designed and
built for efficiency, yet the lines

a feeling of beauty and comfort,
With an overall of 116 feet
and a 80 foot beam it has a draft
of 7h feet. The bow has a blunt,
snub-nosed effect to facilitate in

be used to tow on a hawser also,

lieve in present policy are more

COP candidates are advocates

veloped during and since the

Administration sources are
frank to admit that one of the
most important qualifications
for a new secretary of labor is
that he be a good political
campaigner.
In filling the post made va
cant by the death of Labor

President Truman naturally
had his eye upon the 1948 presi-
dental race.
With the creation of an in

and removal of the United

the job of administering that
agency has dwindled almost to
nothing.
However, the administration
wants a man of Cabinet stature
who can take to the speaking
platform and stump for the
Democratic ticket in the CAM
pajgn ahead.
The recommendations of the
AFL and CLIO also have to be
: heard, thus compiicating the
task of filling the Labor secre-

two big unions organizations to
agree on anything.

One of our favorite forms of
amusement during a quiet eve
ming at home is to spend an
hour or so in a search of var
ious newspapers for stories
conflicting in detail. It is a pur-
suit that, to us, is fascinating
and at times amazing. Most of
these stories are buried on in
side pages and take many
forms. There are the public
can't-remember" and "T'm-for-
everybody stories of the poll
ticians, both high and low. In
these the politician therozies
that the memory of Citizen
John Smith is about as long
as his nose, and that he won't
recall this year what he, the
politician. might have said last
year or he trys to play both
sides against the middle and is
quoted in a statement which he
proceeds to completely contra
dict with another statement a
few paragraphs later. Still 9TH
ers reflect a lack of curiosity
and analysis by the reporter
who covers the story and writes
it. Frequently this comes about
because of adherence to a pol
ICY or a generally accepted
concept. This results in an I'M
conscious playing down" of the
story, which often leaves physi-
cal facts in conflict and loose
ends hanging in the air, in
stead of tying the story up in
a neat paskage.
A masterpiece that falls into
the political "publie-can't-re-
member" category involves
President Truman. A couple of
years ago the Democrats join
ed with the Republicans, under
the urging of the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, to
kill all controls on the national
economy and open wide the
floodgates of initiation. Shortly
after that action by Congress
President Truman came up with
the classic remark hat price
controls and ratloning were the
methods of a police state. The
public was being fed a line of
propaganda at that time to the
effect that the abolishing of
controls would result in the
manufacturing of such a flood

BY WILLIAM RIFT
Central Press Writer

An expedition will seek rem
nants, if any, of Noah's Ark
on Mount Arrat. Old Captain
Noah's log would make inter-
esting reading at that.
For one thing-did he sepa-
rate the two elephants so the
Ark would be well ballasted?
We'd also like to know just
how well-behaved a pair of
mosquitoes were as passengers.
Grandpappy jenkins opines
that since Noah must have been
a mighty busy man settling
fights among the cargo that he
probably turned over his book
keeping to one of the secre-
tary birds.
Though he didn't know it,
Noah conducted the worlds
first travelling zoo. But there
were no customers.
Hunting for an accent ship
or a mountain top may prove
fruitless but at least its a lofty
occupation.
The voyage of the Ark must
have been a trying experience
for Noah-there is no record
that he ever went catching
again.

Beaten COP Hopefuls
See Brighter Future
Special to Central Press

WASHINGTON-The defeat
may have a bitter taste for
COP Presidential Nominee
Thomas E. Dewey's rivals
Senator Robert A. Taft, Harold
E. Stassen and Senator Arthur
H. Vandenberg.
However, with the COP unit
ed after the Dewey blitz and
all Republicans agreed that the
choice of CALIFORNIA; Governor
Earl Warren for vice president
is an excellent one, there is a
Frightening future for Taft,
Stassen and Vandenberg.
This is assuming, of course,
that Dewey is victorious in No
vember, which virtually all po-
litical experts view as a lead
pipe cinch.
Taft probably will remain
the majority policy leader in the
Senate. He will be a real star
on the Dewey team. His in
fluence in national affairs, al
ready tremendous, should con-
tinue to grow.
Stassen, the virile young man
from Minnesota, who touched
off the COP conventions only
spontaneous demonstration, Is
certain to be offered a high
post.
There is talk already OF Stas-
sen, who had a brilliant record
as a World War II naval off,
Ger, may get the post of secre
tary of defense.
Vandenberg, who made good
his pledge not to inspire any
contrived draft" for the presi-
dental nomination, has indicat
ed that he prefers to remain as
Senate foreign relations chair
man while Dewey's longtime
adviser, John Foster Dulles, be-
comes secretary of state.
House COP Leaders Charles
Halleck, who was ruled out as
a vice presidential nominee,
may be offered the postmaster
generalship. Other loyal Re-
publicans will be rewarded in
kind.
A republican landslide this
November, sweeping the Dew
ey-Warren ticket and COP
congressional candidates into
office, would treat the nation
to a sight not seen since the
early days of the Truman ad-
ministration = cooperation be-
tween the White House and
Congress.
Some Washington Observers
who are cool toward the, COP
are willing to admit that po-
litical accord between the
White House and Capitol Hill
even Republican accord =
would be better than the pres
ent pickering and name calling.
They point out that now is
the time for unity, and that
a unity which includes
some ideas and policies you
don't like is better than none
at all.
Only a few top State De-
partment policy makers are
worried that a Republican vic
tory in November will sweep
them out.
Most of them would not
mind being retired inasmuch as
they are working at a finan-
cial sacrifice. Men like I'm
