Visitors from Sacramento
(NeW York TimeS)

In these days of fast travel it is surprising to learn that Virginia Warren age l9 and Nina Warren,
 age A. both of Sacramento California, hadn't visited New York City until recently and that Dorothy Warren, IT, same address made her first visit only
 few days ago. Where had those girls been all the time? We suppose Mir and Mrs Earl Warren, parents of the same, same address had been here before, but MT
 Warren did to include Mrs Warren as well as the girls when he said he had promised to show the visitors around town. Being at the moment candi- date for public office, MT. Warren may have been angling for local votes when he said this city lis always a magnet for those of us who live in the West" If it is such why didn't the Warren family come sooner? And why didn't MT. Warren bring the boys? One can't help having suspicion that when the Warrens wanted to visit city they went to San Francisco and were entirely satisfied with it. Cali fornians like that, though some say they prefer Los Angeles.
 Governor Warren s of course on delicate ground. while they are here Politically, they can't afford not to- But MT Warren (who s incidentally, candidate for the Vice Presidency the Republican ticket wants to carry California well New York. When he gets home he will have to say and his family will have to say, that though they enjoyed visiting New

 let that if they had to settle permanently in any city it would be California city But they will have say nice things about New York too Even if they ride in the subways during the rush hour paying the new fare, they will have to say they liked it.
 We'll every New Yorker including, we nope, Democrats and followers of Henry Wallace and Nor man Thomas will wish the Warens good time. Being the head of wholesome, lovable American family doesn't of itself entitle a man to public office, but it is good have such families around.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The second big event of the year, politically, IS set for next Monday. It is the National Democratic Convention in Philadelphia and during the three or perhaps -day meeting will know who the standard bearers will be.
 An Empire reader has asked how the Democrats apporon their convention delegates and here is the answer
 l. Two delegates for each Congressional district.
 9 Two delegates at large for each Senator and two for each Representative large.
 g. Four additional at-large delegates from those States which went Democratic in the 1944 presidential election
 4 Six delegates each from Alaska, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Puerto Rico.
 5 Two delegates each from the Virgin Islands and Canal Zone.
 Each of the above delegates has one convention vote.
 But delegates at large may be doubled, at Whlm of States If States choose to double their allotment of t-large delegates each such delegate has one-ha a convention vote Practically all States take ad- vantage this rule It gives old party workers trip and gets their name in the paper.

EISENHOWER'S MOTHER

When Sam Goldwyn. who plan ned to produce a picture on Eis- enhoWer, congratulated the Gen. erals aged mother on her son, she promply replied;
 Which one?"
 She was just as proud of all her seven sons as she was of the one whose name is byword round the world. In fact Ike's mother may be one important key to his char acter. She came of Swiss-G Ger man family which fled Europe to escape it's wars; so the last thing she wanted Was to have her son become a professional soldier
 Perhaps this antipathy for war was inherited by Eisenhower, and that he really meant what he told the graduating class at West Point last year.
 War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly, ne Sald, to seek or advise it's deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of warrior you do so in the spirit of Washington not of Ghenghis Kahn.
 "As a professional soldier you do not inherit greater share than your citizen brothers of cour- age, endurance and fortitude. Neither does your commission con- fer upon you distinctive right or privileges The arts and sciences, as well as the profession of arms. are bulwarks of security. And the greatest of all is the spirit the will-for freedom and jus 1 tice.'

not be broken, and won war sooner than anyone expected.
 To do this-whatever his human weakness-required genius, fore sight and great executive ability. It required the kind of ability that the nation may need now, when during the next two to four years we face the most difficult period of peacetime stress and strain in recent history.
 If the nation needs to draft men into the army for the psychological effect upon Russia, as Eisenhower has informed Congress, then SO, too, it needs leader at the helm whose prestige, experience and background will have psychologi- cal effect even more important.

MEAT SUPPLY TO BE SHORTER

Americas meat supply already short, promises to be even less next winter and spring, the Depart ment of Agriculture indicated recently
 The June report of this springs pig crop shows that there are 1881 GOO heads less than year ago the smallest since 1941.
 The number of spring pigs which our pork supply for the winter and next year depends is per cent, or 1881 GOO head less than a year ago.
 The total crop for the year, both spring and fall pigs is expected be the smallest since 1940 Since 194O the Bureau estimates the population has increased by almost 10 million persons

enhoWer is how would he act once in the White House-as a civilian or as brass hat?
 It is always risky to take a military man into high civilian office, as Eisenhower himself point cd out However, those who watch ed him closely during the 'war credited Ike with leaning over backward to protect civilian rights. He championed the Gland most Of them are now strong for him, though dead against MacArthur. He gave a break to Negro troops and a chance to the heroic Japan HaWaiians to redeems the false accusation of having sabotaged at Pearl Harbor
 Yet Eisenhower let such close friends as Gen. John CCourt House'D Lee get away with com mandeering a whole hotel for him. self, plus some of the worst eX- amples of caste system of the war
 In Europe after the war, he ar rested 10000 Nazis, gave strict or ders to let no Nazi hold any im- portant job-an order flagrantly violated since by the Forrestal ca bal. He also raised cain with his
 wn generals for their treatment of displaced persons.
 Eisenhower's chief trouble has been that he has surrounded him self with an iron curtain of brass hats. Once you get inside, you lind a great human being, but cracking the curtain is sometimes as difficult as penetrating the wal around Russia. And this has con- tinued to be somewhat true ever now that the General is at Colum- bia.
 When it came to working witf the Russians, Eisenhower got along as well as anybody-perhaps better With Marshal Zhukoff, the Rec Army commander in Berlin, he go along so famously that Moscow got suspicious and transferred tht Marshal Zhukoff was too mucf under the spell of Ike's charm.

Nearly all the decrease was reported from one State, Iowa. Iowa this year will produce p per cent of all the pigs raised in the country-more than any three other States Last year it produced almost quarter of the crop
 States near Washington, D. C., have pigs than last year.
 Vrginias spring pigs estimated at 572,000 compared with 538o0O last year; Maryland is 9S0oo the same year ago; West Virginia 182,000 com- pared with l63 900 in 1947 and Delaware 23O00 com pared with 10000 last year With cattle numbers the lowest in eight years and sheep and lambs fewer than in any year since 1863 agriculture officials had hoped for larger pig crop.
 Americans this year will get only 143 pounds of meat per person compared with 156 pounds year ago. the Bureau of Agriculture Economies estimates This figure is expected drop below 140 pounds next year in view of this last report
