Mr.. Wallace offered Eisenhower "a

1T is interesting to note that the
Eisenhower boom Is coming from

cratic leader)," the third party pres
idential candidate said.
""They have reason to believe that
Ike is reactionary because of his
testimony on the draft and UNIT
and because he upheld segregation
and the Baruch proposals for a
wage freeze"
I'm not sure Ike knew what he
was doing but the record sure looks
bad.
I'd like to hear him say he's
against segregation, against Taft.
Hartley, against UNIT and the no.
group Air Force. Then we'd give
him a membership card in the New
Party and chance to add genuine
political service to his country tc

McCormack Charges
IsoIationists Wrote
Republican Platform
BY tho Associated Press

A high-placed Democrat charged
"the isolationists Of the Republican
Party had their day" in writing the
1948 COP platform.
Representative Mccormack, Dem
ocrat, of Massachusetts,, chairman of
the Democratic 1914 platform COM
mittee and mentioned now as q pos
sible vice presidential nominee, made
the accusation in a formal state
ment. He called the new Republican
platform the product of disciples of
reaction"
This platform, he said, constitutes
an admission that. once the presi-
dental campaign is over, Chairman
Taber of the House Appropriations
Committee again will be the real
power in formulating Republican
foreign policy"
Mr.. Taber's Committee, Mr. Nc
Cormack said, sought to "scuttle'
the Marshall plan, and then the
COP Platform Committee struck out
language presented by its drafting
subcommittee saying eve will i'm
plement with appropriations any
commitment made by legislative en-
actment" for foreign aid.
Internationalist Approach.
The platform pledged an interna-
tionalist approach to world peace.
Mr.. Mccormack made his state
ment as Democrats prepared to
gather in Philadelphia on Wednes-
day to write their 1948 platform.
The Republicans doubtless will have
something to say about that docu-
ment later.
The Massachusetts iawmaker
levelled other criticisms:
Taxes-he said the platform re-
jected any expression of concern
for low-income taxpayers, and
added: I'm view of the Knutson rich
relief income tax reduction bill. it
would have been a mockery to do
anything else"
Social security - Mr.. Mccormack
said the 1948 COP platform aban-
dons 1914 platform pledge to ex-
tend social security coverage to all
employed persons.
Education-the Platform Commit
tee, he said, abandoned plank pro-
posed by subcommittee for Federal
aid to education on "just basis
to increase educational opportuni-
ties without Federal control"
"Old Guard in Control"
Mr.. Mccormack said the COP
platform disregards the everyday
problems of the average American
family by failure to outline prac-
ticable program against high prices
or "to do anything about housing.
1t all proves, he contended, that
"the old guard of the Republican
Congress still are in control on any,
thing that really counts" He con-
cluded:
"The American people will not re-
ject the progressive leadership of
Roosevelt and Truman for couple
of candidates who espouse the re-
dictionary record of the 80th Con-
gress."
New Zealand set a birth record
in its last fiscal year-43.l44 babies.

Politics and the Telegraph

tromagnet laid the foundation for
Morse's invention OF the telegraph.
Indeed, Henry's discoveries did, in .
way, much that Morse accomplished.
Improved Magnets
Although Sturgeon, an Englishman.
was the first to produce what has
since been known as an electro
magnet, the most powerful mag
net made by his method was insig.
nificant, as 1t has been said, "com.
pared with what Henry was able to
produce q few years later" Instead
Of vanishing the iron core and
using naked wire, as Sturgeon did.
"he insulated the copper wire itself
by covering 1t with silk, and this
enabled him to coil the wire closely
and to make two or more layers
about the core.
This had the effect Of enormously
increasing the strength Of the mag
nets produced, and Henry at once
recognized the importance of the
discovery. But he carried the tnves.
tigation much further, examining
the relation of the battery to the
magnet, developing two forms of the
latter, which he called quantity"
and intensity" magnets, and by the
aid of the latter, succeeded in max
ing visible and audible signals at

Political conventions bring to
mind the first use of the Morse tele-
graph, back in the early part Of
May, 1874, when the Wing conven-
ton was being held in Baltimore for
the nomination Of its officers. Up
to this time, the telegraph was far
from being perfected, since 1t was
found that the plan Of burying the
wires underground would never do,
and that the wires must be strung
on poles, which were contracted for
in February. 1874, from A. c. Shoe
maker, to be taken from the Shoe
maker tract, now embraced in the
Rock Creek National Park.
The. stringing OF the overhead
wires began on the following April
l, and toward the close Of that
month communication could be had
for % miles, or from the junction"
to the Capitol in Washington. and
thus it happened that on May l,
one month later, the first public
message was transmitted. Morse was
at the Washington end and Vail at
the end toward Baltimore. Here the
latter was to obtain the name of the
nominee from the people on the first
train bearing the news. and imme-
diately the word was transmitted to
Washington by wire announcing the
