head and has himself a spit at

compete with cars in the low price

In Dead Earnest
Warren Wants Congress to Assign
Duties to Working Vice President

One suggestion the commission
has studied is for a Department
of Administration to handle all per-
sonnel agencies and problems, with
the Vice President at its head.
Gov. Warren's determination to
be working partner interests
Washington greatly. Some veteran
Senators, entirely sympathetic to
him, predict that the Senate will
be slow to lend it's presiding officer
for other duties. I'VE don't need
him often to break a tie or such
things" one said. "but when we do,
we need him badly"
Contrast in Personalities.
There is also fertile ground for
speculation in the contrasting per-
sonalities Of Gov. Dewey and Gov
Warren. Gov. Dewey is cool and
arithmetical: Gov. Warren is warm
and relaxed. Gov. Dewey has few
admirers among the correspondents
to give him the break; Gov. Warren
enjoys that popularity among them
which has usually been reserved TO,
such practical politicians as James
A. Farley and Senator Barkley. Yet
knowing this, Gov. Dewey deliber.
ately chose to bring Gov. Warren
here with him. Even If he did II
only because he realized he needed
the votes 1t would bring him, he
must still be credited with the
brains to detach himself from per-
sonal considerations in vital matters
Gov. Warren is an important man
in his own right. Correspondents
aboard his train know that his
simple, natural manners do not
imply any lack Of pride and dignity
There have been occasions on his
cross-country tour when lesser
politicoes did not accord the vice
presidential candidate the respect
and courtesy to which the Office was
entitled; Gov. Warren instinctively
reacted to these situations with a
cool pride that his encourage highly
approved. And despite his cam
paign generalities, he knows exactly
what he thinks about the great
issues which will confront the new
administration.

his party stand in the battle over
the oil, worth billions Of dollars, de-
meath the tidelands.
BY a Republican administration
the California governor necessarily
means q Republican Congress, since
legislative action will be required
to make his promise good. The
United States Supreme Court has
ruled that under existing law the
tidelands-and the oil-belong to
the Federal Government. An act Of
Congress transferring title to the
various coastal States is, therefore,
what Gov. Warren is promising.
Attitude Of People.
The Governors attitude on the
question is not news, of course. It
is the popular attitude in California.
The people of that State are happy
to have the revenue that flows into
the State treasury in the form of
license fees and royalties paid by
the oil companies for the privilege of
exploiting these underwater oil
fields. It was California's attorney
general that carried the issue un-
successfully to the Supreme Court.
The Federal Government defends
its claim to these vast oil deposits
not only on the ground of legal
right, but of practical necessity, say
ing the Nation must keep control in
order to assure o reserve OF oil for
the national defense. Protection of
the national interest In a matter 50
important obviously cannot be left to
the individual States, 1t Is argued
by the present administration.
President Truman has declared him
self positively on the subject.
The oil companies prefer State
control. Experience has taught
them they can make better terms
with the separate States. And un-
less the States should set up re-
serves the area of exploitation would
be limited only by the area Of the
oil-bearing tidelands. Like the
States, the oil companies accept no
national responsibility in the mat
ter.
Gov. Warren offered q sure-fire
political appeal to the people of
Texas. The tidelands, he said, are
"the heritage Of every school child
in Texas" BY that he meant that
the revenue to the State from Texas
tidelands could be used to support
the States schools.

Which is true. It could also be
used to aid the Nations schools.

us. Charges Bulgaria
Can't Qualify for u. n.

The United States has informed
the Bulgarian government that 1t
has not shown itself qualified Tor
membership in the United Nations.
A note delivered to Bulgarian
Foreign Minister Kolarov in Sofia
Yesterday and made public by the
State Department today, asserted
that Bulgaria had not lived up to
peace treaty pledges to guarantee
fundamental freedoms to its citizens.
It also charged that Bulgarian
conduct IN supporting guerrilla
activity against Greece is incon-
sistent with principles of the U. N.
charter.
The note took cognizance Of a
speech by the Bulgarian Foreign
Minister on September 4 in which
he was reported to have stated that
Bulgaria had scrupulously fulfilled
it's peace treaty obligation and to
have blamed the United States for
rejection of Bulgaria's application
for U. N. membership.
From the very moment it signed
the treaty" the American note said,
"the Bulgarian government has
prosecuted systematic and ruth
less campaign to obliterate demo-
cratic opposition, in direct disregard
of the fundamental principles of
freedom which it undertook by Ar
ticle 2 to secure.
The note pointed out that not
only the United States, but an over

cent of the total, which was about
100000. In the general election No
vember 2, it is probable that 1,000.-
900 votes will be cast. But even
with the larger vote, it is regarded
as virtually impossible for the Dem
ocrats to win-particularly in the
DeWey-Truman contest.
Nominate Former Progressive.
The State has elected Demo-
cratic Governor only twice in its
1C0 years-and one of these was
during the Roosevelt tidal waves.
This year the Democrats have nom
mated a former Progressive, Carl
w. Thompson, a 34-year-old Dane
County attorney, who is veteran
of World War II.
Mr.. Thompson came within 900
votes of winning the special elec-
ton for a House seat in this dis
trict in April, 1947. He will run
against Acting Gov. Oscar Renne-
bohm, nominated by the Repub-
licans. Gov. Rennebohm is head
of a chain of drugstores. He is
not regarded as a particularly
strong candidate.
Even so, the Democrats have a
tough uphill fight in this guber-
material contest. Their hope lies
in attracting enough of the old La
Toilette Progressives to the support
of Mr.. Thompson, William T. Ev-
jue, editor Of the Madison Capital
Times, always a strong supporter
of the late Senator fighting Bob"
La Toilette has thrown the inf1u-
ence of his newspaper to Mr..
Thompson.
Mr.. Evjue supported Ralph M.
Immel former adjutant general OF
the State, for the Republican gu
bernatorial nomination in the
primary election. Gen. Immel had
belonged to the La Toilette Progress
sive Party. In 1916 he was an un-
successful candidate for the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination. 1t
is now reported that Gen. Immel
may yet support Mr.. Thompson.
Gen. Immel lost to Gov. Renne-
bohm in the recent primary by
about 77O00 votes.
If, as now seems entirely probable,
the Republican national ticket runs
strongly in Wisconsin the chances
for a Democratic victory in the
Governors race will be greatly
diminished.
BY the same token it looks as
though the Republicans would loose
none of their Republican members
of the House, all of whom, with one
exception-Representative William
H. Stevenson, La Crosse attorney
were renominated.
There Is, however, always chance
that in the 4th and 5th congress
sional district-in Milwaukee-there
may be an upset. In the 10th district
the 7O-year-old Dan Hoan, former

Democratic nomination against Rep
preventative Okonski and promises
to make a fight of it. Mr.. Hoan's
real residence is in Milwaukee far
from the 10th district. He has
summer home at Three Lakes in
that district and under the Wis
consin law resident of one district
may still run for election in another.
The defeat of Representative
Stevenson who voted for the Taft
Hartley Act is hailed as a victory
for the CIO Political Action Com
mittee and for the AFL. The NOM
ination was captured with labor
support by former Representative
Gardner r. Withrow, a legislative
representative of the railroad
brotherhoods. He served in Con-
gress as a Progressive Represent
ative Stevenson has held the seat in
the House since 1910. The Taft
Hartley Act was made a major issue
in the Stevenson district.
However, seven other Republican
House members who voted to over
ride President Truman's veto of the
Taft Hartley Act were renominated
and Representative Stevenson was
defeated by narrow margin in a
three-cornered race, with Carl Ne
prud as the third contestant.
Mr. Neprud, who was warned by
Republican leaders that if he ran he
would endanger Representative
Stevenson and might bring about
the nomination of Mr.. Withrow. is
la former political science teacher
| and a technical conSultant at the
Breton Woods Conference.
Returns gave Mr.. WithroW 1884
votes to 1884 for Representative
Stevenson and 10,061 for Mr.. Ne
prud. Representative Hull and Rep
resentative Brophy, both Republic
cans who voted against the Taft
Hartley Act, were renominated.
The showing made by the Wal
lace candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination was disappointing to the
new party. He polled less than 5000
votes, fewer than 2 votes a precinct.
Henry L. Berquist of Rhinelander is
the Wallace candidate.
Wallace candidates for House
seats failed to make any better
showing in the districts where they
ran. There were no contests for
the Wallace party nomination, and
in the presidential race Mr. Wal
lace himself may poll an appreciably
higher vote

The immediate demand was 5000

Rome's mayor, Salvatore Rebec-

payment would increase expendi-

and how 1t was obtained:
The United States sends France
free supplies such as machinery
food, etc., under the recovery pro-
gram. France may sell these sup
plies to any one 1t wants to, col
lecting in francs.
The money thus taken in is put
in a counterpart fund" and is
destined eventually to be spent in
France. The use, however, is sub
ject to approval Of the Economic
Cooperation Administration.
In this case, France submitted q
detailed plan for spending $3.50, ,000,-
900 it had accumulated in the
counterpart fund. ECA Administra-
tor Paul Hoffman and the State
and Treasury Departments studied
these plans thoroughly and ap-
proved them yesterday.
