through six major races winning
four. Two were for the presidency
three for the New York governorship
and one for district attorney Of
wicked New York County. He has
also nursed his man through various
trial heats, some of them actually
far more difficult than the present
milk run against President Truman
Mr.. Lockwood practiced On him
self first. Being currently so sue
cessful, he can afford now to boast
that when young he aspired to be
a Republican assemblyman from
Brooklyn. In truth and in fact
it is less of feat for Mr.. Dewey or
practically anyone else to imagine
himself President than 1t was fol
the silk-stocking Republican, Mr.
Lockwood, to entertain those earlier
hopes of recognition from the Dodg-
er fans.
1t is redundant to state that they
failed.
Il tried hard" Mr.. Lockwood re-
calls. "The Democratic incumbent
was a really terrible fellow named
Coughlin. I studied his record
scrupulously and I denounced him
from one end of the district to the
other. He won by the usual 4-to-1
majority.
Next Defeat Bigger.
II continued to watch his record
at Albany and two years later I
went at him again and harder. His
majority was bigger. In the course
of recuperating at nearby grog-
shop, I encountered an old Irish
man, a family friend, and COM
planned that I had twice been re-
pudiated by the people. I told him
how hard I had campaigned.
"T see,' he said, you talked about
Coughlin and he talked about
Coughlin. Who the hell, If I may
be so bold as to inquire, talked about
LOCKWOOD"
Mr.. Lockwood does not now con-
tend that the reason Mr.. Dewey
talks about Mr.. Dewey instead OF
about Mr.. Truman can be traced
to this piece Of history but he has
invariably encouraged his candidate
to stress that Mr.. Dewey is great
fellow.
The old adage has it that If you
are too lazy to farm and too trif1ing
to run a store, you must take up
politics or newspapering. Having

who expect to have an unofficial
voice in such an appointment. are
Gen. Eisenhower and Gen. Mac
Arthur.
Gen. Eisenhower has established
himself as a man who can get along
with everybody and who proved him
self during World War II as q care
full and able person, competent te
handle the most sensitive and tenn
peramental military men in the
Western European democracies
This was one OF his chief qualities as
supreme commander of the Allied
forces which liberated Europe from
the NaZiS.
Conditions Changed.
But In some quarters the question
arises whether he would prove to be
as successful military leader unde,
present conditions. Unlike four
years ago, he does not have at his
disposal masses of manpower, almost
unlimited equipment and an over
whelming air force, and he would
have to handle q difficult situation
almost on a shoestring.
Those who put forward the name
of Gen. Macarthur say he would
be the best man for the position
in spite of his age. Gen. Macarthur
made superb record for himself
during the war in the Pacific, par
ticularly in the early stages when,
possessing a comparatively weak
force, he defeated superior japanese
armies. This was true especially In
the New Guinea campaign, in which
his two mediocre divisions prevented
a Japanese force four times their size
from taking Port Moresby and
thereby seriously threatening the
Australian continent.

bert c. Wedemeyer, who has earned
q high place for himself during and
since the war, both as a war planner
and as q tactful person-may be
offered the job.
Jealousy Handicaps.
OF course, there are still many
handicaps to be overcome in solving
the present jealousies between the
British and French high commands
by appointing an American as West
ern European commander.
First Of all, we are not members
Of the Brussels alliance. We ap-
proved its creation and may even
tually assist the alliance with the
desperately needed war materials,
without which the bloc would re-
main only name. But for political
reasons we have not associated our
armed forces with theirs.
If the Soviet Union commits ag-
gression, We will Jump into the
breach without delay. In contrast
to 1889, we will not have time to
delay our entry into the conflict
while we prepare. II the Russians
decide on aggression, 1t will be
directed chiefly against the United
States and there will be no buffers
such as existed between 1899 and
1941.
Under such circumstances, ac-
cording to well-informed sources,
we would be compelled to appoint
an American as supreme command
er and thus solve the present some
what ludicrous situation, in which
the Western Allies, threatened with
aggression, are unable to agree on
who should have the Job as COM
mander-in-chief Of their armies.

Gov. Dewey's high hope of election

Truman has some cause to feel

The East Phoenix
Improvement ASSo.
Makes Suggestions
(By Nj. I'll. SHELTON.)

The purpose OF establishing high
ways and roads in the vicinity of
Sky Harbor as is understood by the
AeronauticS Association of Ameri-
ca, that most accessible airport of
the nation and with the co-opera-
ton of Los Angeles and Phoenix
and of each of the respective states,
that within 25 years, Phoenix and
Los Angeles could become one COM
monwealth and should have a COM
bined population of 25 million. In
these days of swift transportation
and communication we've got to
find a system which will be COM
mensurate with the advancing age,
which in the manner of saying, we
need an economic equalizer. We
therefore believe that the portion
here and now mentioned is the
most feasible location for 300 to
500 foot highway, which should ad-
vance from the east by the way of
Roosevelt street, into 28th street
and thence south into the Sky
Harbor port. Along such highway
the foundation of the land makes
it possible for an airWay construct
ed city, which we will have to have
in this advancing age, and airWay
transportation must have dry
docks. Dry docks cannot be obtain
ed on aceans or mountain peaks.
So, we therefore propose that a
survey will be made by the proper
authorities of this state in conjunc-
ton with Los Angeles and Califor-
mia. That we associate our states
and people for the best interest
and for our nation.
Some of us are aware Of the fact
that the locations that we are pro-
posing, looks natural /and perfect
for the necessary Development of
the progress of the times.
We further believe that the con-
troversy of the Colorado River
should be settled amicably between
California and Arizona shares. AS
its appearance to accomplish these
great things for each of these
states and people.
It may become necessary at this
time to prevail on some solon to
introduce a bill in this legislature
setting forth what will have to be
done to perfect or make it legally
possible for us to realize this great
achievement.
The road and place proposed, if
the cost should be 2 million dollars,
which would be a very reasonable
price for the great wealth and
value it owuld be to each of the
two states. In this proposal we will

The wild and venomous ranting

the victim (you and me) a true

us the Negro a chance to- dodge
such blow or strikes, through uni

OBSERVATIONS
BY Mack C. Nance
MY STRANGE
ADMIRATION FOR
RTIRO

In old Virginia, the mother of
states and unfortunately, the sad
and lamentable place of my hum
BILE birth; there roams a vicious,
deadly and venomous animal,
known as the copperhead moccasin.
This spiteful reptile, invariably, lie
cunningly concealed, coiled and
ready to strike an unweary pedes-
trian passing within reach. In the
Southwest, there roams "a reptile,
equally vicious, deadly and poison
Gus, known as the rattler. The rat
tier differs from the copperhead
moccasin, in that the rattler sings
out or sounds off before striking.
This heralded warning of danger,
enables one to step back or change
his route. AS a matter of choice be-
tween two great evils. I much pre-
fer the rattler. The vicious and We
nomous verbal and written erup-
tions, so blatantly, puked from the
diseased bowels of the Vardmans,
Talmabes, Bilbo and other home
developed NaziS; is like unto a mas
ty ulcer, appearing on the surface
or a seemingly healthy body. Mod
ern doctors will not stop at treat
ing the inflamed sore but will as
certain the cause or source of ulcer
and treat or destroy the cause.

saying he needed the money to buy
whisky.
But then I can sell it for twice
the cost, and We both will profit"
Mr.. Musgrove said he was told.
When the cab driver protested
there were surer ways of making
money, the passenger stuck "a hard
object" against Mr.. Musgroye's side
and demanded his money.
After taking SIS, the man, who
was colored, fled down the street.
