STAIN GOES MUSICAL

What Stain wants is music which
has something of the rhythm of
Gromyko and the lyrical beauty of
a Vishinsky speech. He has listened
to the music on the Voice of Amer
lea broadcasts and is determined
that the Russians shall never be cap
tured by a couple of crooners from
Pinsk or Minsk.

Kremlin should any Russian come

SONG COMPOSER:
"Here's a silly ditty,
You can sing it right away,
Now here is what you say;
Say it while you may"
STAIN: stop! The opening line
is too bourgeois. You start off with
the premise that the song is silly.
In Russian music nothing can be
silly. And that line you can sing it
right away is a waste of words.
Only a stupid Britisher or American
has to be told he can sing a song
right away"
COMPOSER (resuming):
"Here's a silly Jingle,
You can sing it night and noon,
Here's the words, that's all you
need,
Cause I just sang the tune"

She's too fat for me,

STALIN: What nonsense! The
Soviet mind rebels against any such
philosophy. The question Of weight
never stops a Russian. Only a weak
ling nation declines a dance with a
woman over a point Of poundage.

The Democrats have closed ranks
and are working, as shown by the
crowds which massed at the rail-
road station yesterday so they could
see the President. Such crowds al

ures by the local politicos and here,
added to the normal home going

for Mayor again next year and does
not wish to be accused of letting the
party down. He has shrewdly stayed
pretty much in the background,
however.
Dewey Still Ahead.
Against Truman hopes must be set
the following facts: Gov. Dewey is
still we'll ahead and he will be here
today to re-inspire his supporters.
Gov. Bradford is still the favorile
though the odds have slipped from
6-3 to 1919 on him. The Catholic
Church regards the present national
administration with suspicion on the
issue of harboring Communists and
there have been some instances of

Not Decided That Way.
But unfortunately for the Presi-

landslide for Gov. Dewey in the

guess. Allowing for the inroads
made by Henry Wallace in the
North and for the manipulated
freeze-out in some of the Southern
States, the President still may have
a popular vote of which he need
not be ashamed.
The electoral vote, however. is
something else. That still looks
ominously like a landslide.
1t isn't always remembered that
the electoral vote seldom truly re-
fleets the popular vote. Franklin
D. Roosevelt had the greatest Of all

have made 1t clear, however, that
he has made no commitments what
ever for cabinet positions.
1t was assumed by many observers
that since Mr.. Dulles had repre-
sented the Republican Party in all
recent international gatherings and
was the New York Governors most
intimate adviser on international
affairs, he would be the logical man
to become Secretary Of State in a
Republican administration.
Opposition Within Party.
A certain amount of opposition to
Mr.. Dulles developed in the Repub-
lican Party and Gov. Dewey is
said to have been warned that the
appointment of the New York law
yer might displease a number of
prominent Republicans, including
some powerful members of the
Senate.
The opposition to Mr.. Dulles was
due to number of factors. In the
first place, he was believed to have
gone along with the so-called bi-
partisan policy without objecting
to some aspects which were detri-
mental to our prestige and to the
wishes of many Republicans. In
the second place, he was a Wall
street lawyer and had been involved
in number of international finan-
cial transactions which had made
him the target Of attack for many
liberals. Finally, he displayed great
gullibility in supporting Alger Hiss
for the presidency of the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace
Of which Mr.. Dulles was chairman

OF the board.
These objections to Mr.. Dulles as
Secretary of State have now sub
sided, and 1t has become increas-
ingly clear that Mr.. Dulles is about
the only well-known parsonage
among the Republicans who is quail
ified for the job. A number of Sem
ators were mentioned as "possibil-
ties" but for one reason or another
they were not available.
1t is recognized that Mr.. Dulles,
who Is not a skillful publicity
seeker, has some very strong ideas
OF his own about our role in world
affairs, although he has appeared
to go along too much with the BIZ
partisan foreign policy. He has
kept his own views out of the lime
light because 1t was not possible
for him to put them into effect
while the present administration
remained in office.
Ideas on Berlin.
For instance, 1t Is said by those
close to HIM, while he indorses our
policy Of standing firm in Berlin,
because American prestige is in
volved, he thinks that we chose the
wrong spot to give battle to the
Russians. If he is appointed Secre-
tary Of State, he is expected to seek
the means of getting our necks out
of the Berlin moose by next spring
In spite of his mild appearance
and frequently unrealistic and ideal
istic approach to the problems of
international relations, Mr.. Dulles
underneath is as hard as nails and
unlikely to become an appeaser. Nor
is he likely to become hard-headed
jingoist.
What decided Gov. Dewey to en-
trust the No. cabinet post to Mr..
Dulles, according to sources close to
the Republican candidate, is the
fact that he knows world problems
first hand. Furthermore, Gov.
Dewey and Mr.. Dulles are intimately
acquainted
AS President Gov. Dewey will have
so many domestic problems to en-
gage his attention that he will be
able to give his Secretary of State
only a general outline of what he
wants done in foreign affairs. The
execution of his policy will be en-
tirely in the hands of the man he
places at the head of the State De-
partment, and that man must have
the complete confidence OF the Chief
Executive.
Mr. Dulles unquestionably enjoys
Gov. Dewey's unreserved confidence.

had only 81 per cent of the popular
vote. In 1910 he had IS per cent of
the electoral vote; only 81 per cent
of the popular vote. In 1914 he had
50 per cent of the electoral vote;
only 5312 per cent of the popular
vote.
In 1888 Grover Cleveland had q
majority of the popular vote, yet lost
to Benjamin Harrison. who had a
Majority of the electoral votes.
All this being true, it may seem
strange that this democratic repub-
lie continues to use the bothersome
mechanism and wholly deceptive de-
vice of the electoral college. The
explanation probably lies IN the fact
that the founding fathers, obsessed
with the notion that State sover-
eighty must be preserved, provided
for the electoral college in the Con-
stitution and made the Constitution
itself extremely difficult to amend
Change Occasionally Asked.
Occasionally some one. moved by

abolish the electoral college entirely
and allow elections to be determined

Both proposals are mucl: more in

that Frank Lloyd Wright is still in

two days ago to 60 to the dining
room and hasn't been heard from
since. However, I am not worried,
as have been told that three days
is par for getting to the dining
room and back.
Bowling Is Catching.
The long, low corridors are alive
with Japanese servants of both
sexes and all ages. Being one of
the most courteous races on earth,
the servants spend a great deal OF
their time bowling to guests and to
each other. They don't just bow
little bit, either. They bend over
until their heads are half way to
the floor.
For some reason, this bowling busi-
ness is very catching. Before you
can stop yourself you find that you,
a member of a conquering nation,
are bowling to conquered scrub
women. conquered window cleaners
and conquered busboys. If I stay In
this country too long. I'll get home
bowling like one of those fool me-
chanical birds which perch on the
edge Of glass and drink water.
A newcomer to Tokyo is hard put
to believe that it was all but
knocked down or burned out during
the war. Miles and miles of it we're
razed, but it requires careful
sightseeing tour to find much evi-
dence Of destruction. Tokyo does
not show the ravages of bombing
as does London. The rebuilding is
on the flimsy side, but the build
ings are up. the rubble cleared
away, and the streets lined with
shops.
Not Much for Sale.
Not that there is much for sale
in the shops. There are still lots
Of lovely porcelain on display, but
that is about all. Most Of the shops,
and the tiny wooden stalls which
line the sidewalk on each side of
the Gina, have little more to offer
than inferior f1ve-and-dime store
stuff, such as locks which you can
pull apart, neckties of horrible de-
sign and texture. miniature cameras
which almost fall apart at a glance,
wooden clogs. and shoddy binoculars.

dows in which are displayed dresses,

great need Of warm clothing and
stout shoes.
It is q wonder to me that there
are as many Japanese alive as there
are, they being completely oblivious
to trafic. Pedestrians never look
right or left when crossing a street
and actually will walk into the side
Of a moving vehicle. Those who
ride bicycles come tearing out of
the side streets without so much as
a glance at the passing traffic. The
scream of the brakes of American
cars is the chief noise of Tokyo.
If run over or knocked down, a
