 vigorous attempt to head off Stassen movement. If this is successful seems probable Taft-Dewey deadlock is more than likely. The more eveny
 matched and persistent that deadlock the more prob able it is that Vandenberg will be the nominee And the New York Times man leaves doubt that the Republican nominee very likely to be the next Pres dent.
 Such is one experienced observers appraisal of a tangled picture. It does not give much consolation to the fanatical followers of any one asprant But it has the comforting aspect that almost anything the convention may do will work out reasonably well for the country. sH sa ever was his forecast that Henry A. Wallace is not
 likely to stay in the race, having failed to make any real bid for support If Wallace does continue in the race the prediction that he would not get enough votes in any single State to tip the scales that he would not affect the electoral vote in any way.
 Another reassuring observation from MT. Krock was his rather hopeful expression of the belief that the COP choice of a nominee will come from negota- ton in the party leadership, not from strong popu- lar or emotional movement There time when a nomination made in a smoke-fled room sinister symbol. But in this case the finding of the leaders in the smoke-filled room probably would be that compromise on Vandenberg or possibly Martin would do the most possible to unify the party. And that could hardly be considered disaster

A SHREWD APPRAISAL

With more objectivity and considerably more factual background than most political observers, Arthur Krock Washington correspondent Of the New York Times has reviewed the presidential race in d recent address at Chicago. He comes up. as a good many other thoughtful people do, with rather definite leaning to Senator Vandenberg. But his appraisal of the whole picture is severely actual
 Mir Krock finds three men in what he calls the first echelon" These, the strongest conenders are Taft Dewey and Stassen. He has good things to say of all of them which can be summed up in the belief that any of them would make frstclass President.
 A deadlock seems to impend, however, in MT Krocks view and in such way as to impair the prospects of all three of the first echeon That leads to a second bracket, occupied by Vandenberg and

Dangerous Comics"
Cincinnati Enauirer)


 There's food for thought-and perhaps action-in the remarks of the Rev. L. Murrell Pastor Of the First Methodist Church Covington, Ohio, regard ing some of the so-caed comic books being sold to the youth of the nation. ss ess Mir Murrel leader of the Kenton County Protest ant Association, drew distinction between wholesome adventure cartoon strips and those comics" which obviously make studied appeal to sadistic motives, depicting torturng of scanty clad and volupuous girls mayhem, murder and perverted ideals of justice The pastor says that careful examination shows that 70 per of the so-caed comic books of nature no newspaper would publish casual survey of news stands we think, will substantiate this view
 Of course since time immemoria youth has shown liking for urd adventure literature and "derring do" Indeed some of our venerable fairy stories are in fact pretty gruesome stuff when you stop to established taste dime novel, stuff Ca taste which happily usually is ougrown the individual natures, if he ever does) is questionable whether literary censorship is desirable would work. However, there is a point beyond which bad taste poor literature should not be encouraged toler- ated.

all think alike. Apparently, there fore, the fact that he is an ex- German agent makes no difference. Also, they appear to condone their association by the fact that Rumely was pardoned.
 The history of this pardon, as taken from court recorIs is as follows:
 Rumely was lound guilty on Dec. 8, 1920 and took his case to the Second Circuit Court of Ap- peals which affirmed his convic- tion Later, Oct. 23, 1923, the US. Supreme Court refused to review the case Rumely had been sen- fenced to serve year and day.
 Powerful forces then brought pressure on President Coolidge for a pardon. On Jan. "A, 1924, Frank Munsey bought the N. Y. Mail to combine with the Telegram, and on March 5. another publishing venture was set up under Rumely's direction with capital supplied by several leading Americans and a German industrialist.
 Four years after his conviction, Rumely was still out on a stay of execution. But on March 13, 1924, ! things went wrong and Coolidge re- fused him a pardon, though under pressure he did commute his sen- tence from year and a day to one year, thereby making him in- eligible for Atlanta.
 Rumely then began serving time at the White Plains Pentitentiary, New York. But on April II, Cool idge commuted Rumely's sentence, to one month and he was releas-' ed. April ', 1924. Almost one year later, Jan. l9, 1925, Coolidge grant ed Rumely a pardon in such sec recy that members of the Senate Lobby Committee in 1888 didn't know about it.
 InlS IS the gentleman who tWlce has been cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to tell the names of multimillionaires who fi- nance his lobbying activities.
 Scores of other people have been jailed for refusing to answer ques- tions of Congress, among them a number of Hollywood notables. But in the long history of the United States, Rumely is one of only three cases who has thumbed his nose at Congress and got away with it. He has gone to jail for serv- ing as a German agent, but not for being in contempt of Congress.
 Rumely also has been a great pal of D. c. Stephenson, former Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. now serving life sentence in the Michigan City, Ind. peni-

mits having paid Stephenson visit in jail, and also admits that he and the former Klan leader were associated in publishing maga- zine together. One article appear ing in the magazine, under Steph- enson's name, has all the earmarks of have been ghostwritten for him by Rumely,
 This is the versatile gentleman who has collected so much money from unknown and undisclosed sources to promote the tidelands oil lobby and other constitutional" matters in Washington.
 Note-Rumely draws weekly salary of s208 plus S96.50 per week for expenses, plus commissions, which are not inconsiderable.

WORKED FOE THE KAISER

The amazing thing is that Rum ely has so much influence, despite his earlier prison-record. Educated in Germany. Rumely was active for the Kaiser in the first war, and has admitted under oath to acting as agent in spending S200000 for advertising in foreign-la language papers in the United States to propagandize foreign-born citizens for Germany. He also admitted paying $3.000 to the late Gaston B. Means Qater jailed for the Lin denberg swindle) to spy on Brit ish shipping.
 Rumely also admitted under oath paying Sl,000 of German money to distribute copies of the Irish American in the United States, and $500 to distribute cotton circulars" the latter calculated to stir up the South because it. could not ship cotton to Germany.
 Finally the long arm of the law caught up with Rumely when he concealed the fact that the Kais- CT had paid him a million and half dollars to buy the New York Mail and use it as a Ger man propaganda sheet. He was sentenced to jail
 Despite this, Frank Gannett, the New York chain newspaper publish CT, has consistently and heavily backed Rumely for years. So has Lamar Fleming. Jr., of Texas, at torney for the Anderson Clayton cotton firm; Ben Clayton, broth CT of Will Clayton, retired Under secretary of State, together with Harvey Fruehauf, the auto-trailer king; Mrs. Henry Doorly. owner of the Omaha World Herald, and var ious others. Senator Ed Moore of Oklahoma not only is member Of Rumely's committee. but vigor- ously champions his ideas on tide lands oil in the Senate.
