settlers, playing a leading
role in the establishment
ande development Of the
grape growing industry
that has brought world
fame to the state.
His great-grandfather, Carlos
Antonio Carrill9, was one Of
CALIFORNIA; first provisional gov
errors. Another great grandfather,
Don Juan Bandini, was an Italian
navigator, who settled in Califor-
mia q century ago.
Described as California's num-
Der one native son. Carrillo, q
close friend of Governor Earl
Warren, has recently been offered
a number of top-drawer political
jobs in his home state. He has re-
fused them all, saying: "I'd rath-
er be an ambassador Of good viii
by travelling throughout the United
States and Latin America and by
reaching millions of people all
over the world through the me-
dunn of films like the new Cisco
Kid series"
He makes annual visits to
Mexico and South America to
carry his message Of goodwill IN
person; he blesses every Califor-
MIA parade by appearing on his
own palomino horse; and makes
motion pictures. But his nearest
concession to an actual political
job was his acceptance of the
post of California State Park Com
missioner under Governor Warren.
It isn't generally known, but
the romantic, adventurous Pancho
of the screen was a cartoonist on
the San Francisco Examiner be-
fore he ever thought of becoming
an actor. In fact, his very first
job was with a railroad at $50 a
month. 4
His parents tried to interest
him in becoming priest, but his
ambitions centered on the state,
He first made a hit with his dia-
lect stories at a meeting of. the
San Francisco Press club. He was
given so much encouragement,
that he gave up his job on the
Examiner and turned to vaude-
vile. Carrillo invaded New York
and soon became a top-rankine
stage star. "That's when I first
became a goodwill ambassador"
says the actor.
With the birth of talking pic
lures, Garlic returned to Holly
wood and the screen. He has re-
manned one of the most loved
film stars.
GARLIC is an enthusiastic ran.

In the year following, J. C..
Pratt stepped into the position OF
the festival president. Directors
were Don Solberg, Brick Oliver,
Emil Behrman, Clarence Eakin,
Gene Spaulding, Clyde Anderson,
John Neuman, Rolfe Tuve.
Ross Frank was designated as
as secretary and Bob Johnson be
came treasurer.
For the second year attraction
the festival officials chose Ralph
Edwards and his nationally known
radio network show, "Truth or
Consequences" Buddy Rich and
his swing band rounded out the
production.
On the third day of the 1947
festival, two nationaI radio shows
were broadcast from Kennewick
over the facilities of NBC.
This year, the show again
spark1es with stars, headlined by
the suave and sophisticated Leo
Garlic as master of ceremonies.
Under his smooth handling, the
festival will present an array of
eight vaudeville acts - incluc;aF
some of the best performers In
the nation.
For the first time, also, the
celebration becomes a joint pre-
sentation of the Kennewick Grape
Festival association and the Ben
ton County Fair association.
All fair activities will be direct
ed by the fair association, headed
by chairman Alfred G. Anon. The
same Grape Festival officials will
serve.
The Grape Festival association
will present the entertainment,
renewing many of its former tri-
umphant attractions - the open
ing day parade, the kids parade,
the old timers picnic and many
others.
Harking back to a childhood
verse, officials regard this as the
year of years:
Zone for the money,
Two for the show;
Why wait for four,
It's three to co."

We Get Another Plank

II platform planks are anything more
than pious declarations. the Republican
Party has gone on record for the first time
in favoring votes for the District. Inclusion
of a plank, "We favor self-government for
the District of Columbia" is the most
promising commitment along such lines
been willing to include.
The Democrats have always been more
literally inclined in their platform planks.
AS long ago as 1892 plank including the
District of Columbia, along with the gov
ernment of any Territory and Alaska, y
expressed the belief that officials chosen
to govern them should be "bona-fide resi-
dents" and gave the pledge that THE
Democratic Party believes in home rule
and the control of their own affairs by
the people of the vicinage." A few years
later the "home rule was dropped, but
emphasis was placed on choosing local
government officials thoroughly qualified
by previous bona-f1de residence" In 194O
and again in 1914 the Democrats went
step further and favored extension OF
the right of suffrage to the people of the
District of Columbia"
One of the ironies of the platform decla-
rations however, has been that while
Democrats at the conventions have been
most amenable to including such planks,
Democrats in Congress have been most
reluctant to stand on them. Republicans,
on the other hand, have approached the
matter by the reverse method, opposing
the planks in convention but in Congress
doing the most effective work in behalf OF
some form of suffrage. The opposition OF
Southern Democrats killed the Auchincloss
bill in the past session, after Republican
leadership put it further along the road
to enactment than any comparable meas
ure of the past.
The Republican plank this year does
little more than favor the principle OF
"self-government" 1t is broad enough to
cover any method of obtaining it, either
by local suffrage or by Constitutional
amendment granting to Congress the
power to specify the degree of representa-
ton in Congress and the Electoral College
that the District should enjoy. Coming
on the heels of the Auchincloss bills prog
ress in the past session, its incorporation
in the Republican platform is encouraging.

effective frontier Gordon. Once that is
done, 1t Is believed that the scattered nests
of rebel resistance in other parts of Greece
can be quickly cleaned up.
The strategic and tactical difficulties
facing the Greek Army are admittedly
great. Much of the country is mountain
Gus, with poor communications. That
handicaps the use of mechanized equip
ment and favors elusive guerrilla forces.
Still, provided that Greeces northern
neighbors do not cast aside the fiction OF
neutrality and intensity their aid to the
rebels, the task does not appear to be
inSuperable. And our Government has
made it plain that open aid by Moscows
Balkan satellites would create diplomatic
crisis which neither they nor their Moscow
masters seem at present ready to pre-
cipitate.
The breaking of organized rebel re-
sistance would for the first time make
possible the full implementation of those
measures of constructive recovery that are
an essential part of our aid program to
Greece. Then, indeed, the heavy cost of
our assistance would show fruitful returns.

Butter and Margarine Substitute

To the Editor OF The Star:
People worry about the starving children OF
Europe and justly So but who cares whether
our starving children have either butter or
butter substitute on their bread? How many
average American families can afford butter to
spread generously on their children's bread?
Still Congress talks and stalls over taking the
tax of of margarine it will be cheaper
for our poor families. Butter is out OF sight,
yet We talk of the Government aiding the
farmers to keep up parity prices.
Well, If Congress does not act, have found
a way to make q butter substitute which is
better than butter and cheaper than margarine,
and am going to make the formula known
to every one. 1t uses neither dairy butter nor
cream in its making, is very nutritious and
all who have tasted it say they cannot tell 1t
from fresh butter. 1t keeps sweet for weeks
when refrigerated and also spreads easily when
taken direct from ice.
I will give the public the formula If Congress
and the other interests do not do something
soon to lower the prices to a point where
people can buy what their families need.

The Republican Platform

AS lar rs Cl1e WUIlo ID CoiiSeiAieN' 'N-
chief significance OF the Republican plat
form for 1948 is that it forswears 1sola-
tionism and calls for continuation OF our
strong bipartisan foreign policy.
To that end dedicating the Republicans
to "the preservation of free America IN
q free world of free men, the platform
promises that they will lend all reasonable
support to such enterprises as the Euro
pean Recovery Program and the unif1ca-
ton of Western Europe. 1t pledges them,
too, to spurn appeasement, to welcome the
cooperation of every nation ION the basis
Of friendly firmness," to maintain our
historic policy toward China and to grant
full recognition to Israel within the bound
aries sanctioned" by the United Nations.
Moreover, the platform commits the
Republicans to do the following: Cd To
encourage in Europe and elsewhere, the
development of regional defensive agree
ments against aggression; CD to work Tor
the universal limitation and control OF
ornaments with reliable protection
against bad faith; 90 while safeguard
ing our own industry and agriculture, to
promote international commerce through
reciprocal trade; and (4 to give vigorous
support to the United Nations and strive
constantly to strengthen it In behalf of
q secure peace based on justice and
freedom.
Some of this is open to question, OF
course. Full recognition for Israel, for
example, seems somewhat less realistic
than the present provisional arrangement,
which is conditioned on the new states
ability to maintain itself Further, as
regards regional defensive pacts, the plat
forms language is not nearly so strong or
specific as the Vandenberg resolution over
whelmingly approved by the Senate, and
there may be more than little significance
In the fact that the document, as submitted
to the Philadelphia convention, is minus
a sentence which promised in the original
draft, to implement with appropriations
any commitment made by legislative en-
actment." Nevertheless, taken as a whole,
the foreign plank is decidedly reassuring
one, the more so because it is supported
by pledge favoring unified armed forces
big enough for the demands of the hour.
AS for the platforms domestic promises,
they are pretty much in keeping with the
tme-honored all-things-to- -all-men for
mula of both major parties. They hold
out prospect that includes lower taxes
less costly and more efficient Government,
broadened social security, increased con-
servation of natural resources return of
the oil-rich tidelands to the States, i'm
proved labor-management relations, anti
imitation measures, help for small business,
adjustments to benefit veterans, better
> farm program better housing better ed,l-
cational opportunities, better efforts to

deal with Communists and better action
against discrimination for reasons of race,
creed, sex or national origin.
In sum, the Republicans pledge them
selves to govern with domestic policies
that will meet the need and favor of nearly
every segment Of our population. The
Democratic Party, when it convenes next
month"; may make sport of items like their
housing promise and it may make an issue
of such controversial matters as ownership
of the tidelands but by and large it is
likely to adopt much the same kind of
platform as the COP.
In the last analysis, of course, the effec-
tiveness of any platform depends primarily
on the qualities of the man who is chosen
to campaign on it. That is why the Nation
and the world must hope that the Repub-
licans will choose presidential nominee
who really believes in and who will be
capable, if elected, of persuading Congress
to act afflrmatively on the best and wisest
promises in the platform

Where CONGRESS Shone

Whatever is said about the Eightieth
Congress in the coming campaign, no
body who watched the members in its last
hours can deny that they were jolly good
fellows. While the weary representatives
awaited conference reports on such con-
troversial legislation as housing and farm
aid, they put on an exhibition OF BIZ
partisan harmony and mutual admiration
that left the galleries wondering if they
were perhaps witnessing the end of the
two-party system. All differences were
forgotten as members from both sides of
the aisle blended mellowly on such old
favorites as when You Wore a Tulip"
The page boys gave multikeyed render
ing of Dixie" and talented legislators
stepped to the we'll for harmonica solos
and limitations.
In the tributes to retiring colleagues
that followed this Capitol Hill variety
show, even the presence of economy
minded Representative Taber was no brake
as the congressman cast superlatives about
with such reckless extravaganza that each
speaker f1guratively stood waiSt-high in
bouquets. When the reports came back
from conference they returned to their
old ways of questioning each others good
faith, but the galleries were convinced they
could not possibly mean word of it. This
brief traditional return of vaudeville salts
fled the spectators that the record of the
Eightieth, in entertainment at least, will
stand with the best

The Greek Offensive

The general offensive launched by the
Greek Army against the Communist in
surgents can be regarded with qualified
optimism. 1t comes hard on the heels of
President Truman's recent report to
Congress which, while not minimizing
difficulties, gave an overall picture of
cumulative improvement in the Greek
situation.
This improvement is due chiefly to our
aid program to Greece. When it was in
augurated thirteen months ago conditions
were desperate. Rebel bands, obviously
supported by the three Soviet satellites to
the northward, were not only devastating
the entire frontier zone from Albania to
Bulgaria, but were penetrating Central and
Southern Greece, with outcroppings in the
islands as well. The Greek Army was
poorly armed and losing its morale. The
stay of the royal government, were cutting
down on their commitments and preparing
to pull out entirely. 1t began to look as
though Communist regime would be set
up, making Greece another satellite of
Moscow.
1t was at this desperate juncture that
America entered the picture with pro-
gram of support ranging from relief sup
plies to military equipment and technical
assistance along many lines Naturally, 1t
took time to get the program into effective
operation, especially on the military side,
and before major results could be achieved,
the severe Balkan winter closed down,
during which large-scale campaigning was
impracticable. However, the time was
we'll employed, and now that the summer
season has come, rearmed and reorgan-
lied Greek Army, under skilled American
advisers and supplemented by local de-
fense forces to free the regular forces for
their offensive, is in the field. The main
operation is in the rugged mountains on
the Albanian border, where the center of
rebel activity has long been located. But
the Greek Army is now strong enough to
conduct subsidiary operations in other Sec
tors of the northern frontier. The ulti-
mate objective is to destroy or drive over
'the border all organized rebel bands and
then to seal off the region from further
outside penetration by establishing an

G. 0. P. Stretch Drive

AS the drive to capture the Republican
presidential nomination moves into its
decisive stage, the atmosphere of the
Philadelphia convention is rife with deals
and runors of deals.
1t is hard to say how much weight
should be given to any of the rumors, but
it is obvious that the other leading candi-
dates are searching frantically to find some
way of heading off a stampede to Gov
ernor Dewey of New York.
The New York Governor went into the
convention with the largest single bloc of
pledged delegates. Then he picked up the
Georgia delegation, which was supposed to
be safe for Senator Taft, and on top of
that Senator Martin has withdrawn as a
favorite son and announced his full sup
port of Governor Dewey, thereby assuring
the latter of a majority of the Pennsyl
vania delegation. AS any politician knows,
movement like this is apt to become con-
tagious Most of the uncommitted delega-
tions want to ride with the winner and
if the notion takes hold that Governor
Dewey is "in' there will be rush to get
aboard the Dewey bandwagon.
So the immediate problem which con-
fronts the other hopefuls is to find some
means of heading off the New Yorker, to
prevent him from showing so much
strength on the first ballot that it will be
all over but the shouting. And in pursuit
of this end it is to be expected that they
will explore every possible arrangement,
or deal, if one prefers that term.
The first of these blossomed forth when
COL Robert r. Mccormick, publisher of
the Chicago Tribune, came out for Taft
Stassen ticket. This promptly produced
talk of a deal, and denials by Senator Taft
and Mr. Stassen have not silenced the
speculation. 1t seems unlikely, however,
that these two would enter into any ar
rangement in which, in effect, the isola-
zionist Chicago publisher would pick the
Republican ticket. For the implications of
that would be so adverse to our own best
national interests that a Mccormick slate
should be, and probably would be, defeated
in the election.
The fairest inference would seem to be
that Col. Mccormick is a not-too- welcome
volunteer in the ranks of the stop-Dewey
(and Vandenberg) forces. And his inter-
vention is apt to do the Taft-StaSsen
alignment more harm than good.
There is truth in the old saying, however,
that politics makes strange bedfellows.
With a prize as rich as this one at stake,
anything can happen and no possibility
can be ruled out. But before any one
accepts a -Stassen Mccormick coali-
ton as being fact he would do we'll to
reflect on the role of the Senator from
Michigan. Senator Vandenberg has great
deal of strength in this convention. He
has not yet made his own bid for the
nomination, and 1T remains to be seen just
how and when and If he will make 1T.
But any deal which would put Col. Nc
Cormick in the role of President-maker
would force Senator Vandenberg's hand,
and probably persuade him to throw his
support to Governor Dewey Senator Taft
and Mr.. Stassen, no matter how anxious
they may be to head off the New Yorker,
are not going to overlook this aspect of
the matter
