StOp-Stassen Drive On
Taft and Dewey Lieutenants Exhorting
Followers to Stand Fast, Wait and See

lenge Mr.. Stassen felt he had to
make, contrary to political custom
in order to surmount organization
indifference.
He chose his spots carefully with
the help of his Ohio manager, Ear
Hart, who had had notable success
with Republicans more progressive
than the Taft variety, including the
present Supreme Court Justice, Mr.
Burton. Stassen delegates are not
entered Statewide, only in indus.
trial and city areas where the
author of the slave labor" act Is
most unpopular.
The Taft people, thoroughly
aroused are taking no chances
The Senator will leave for CLEVELAND
tomorrow night and spend most Of
the coming weeks campaigning. His
candid admission: If he holds Mr.
Stassen down to three or four dele
gates, hurrah for our side. If Mr.
Stassen gets 10 or more, 1t amt
good.
The Ohio advantage naturally Is
with Senator Taft; 1t Is his State
and he has the all-important Or
ganization. The Taft people rather
bitterly suggest that the party ma
chine ought to be a match for
"1leighbors for Stassen" II they
should decide to invade Ohio as they
did Wisconsin and Nebraska.
They are not trying to pretend
they do not take the matter serious
ly. Senator Taft will campaign as
intensively as he did for the Senate
Dewey Threat in Oregon.
Gov. Dewey is not involved in
Ohio, but the Stassen threat is
lis job in Oregon May 81. Before
the Nebraska results were cold he
announced that he would 60 there
in person to rally his supporters
Advance reports have put him
ahead there, but Mr.. Stassen feels
confident, too.
The Stassen camp is gloating over
its success in putting Gov. Dewey on
the road and smashing the legend
of his inevitability. It has insist
emily compared Mr.. Stassen's face
to-face campaigning with the under
cover maneuvers of the Dewey gau-
letters dispatched from the throne
room in Albany.
A Dewey-Taft contrast: Gov
Dewey said he felt "heartened" by
the Nebraska returns. Senator Taft
said he was disappointed"
Rather wistfully the Stassenites
point out that their David can flnc
no primary opening to strike at the
legend of Senator Vandenberg's
great public appeal as distinguished
from his earned prestige reputation
But they are satisfied that Senator
Vandenbergs modest showing. in
Nebraska and the very few ballots
for Speaker Martin and Gov. War
rem indicate that those candidates
must be imposed on the convention
from the top if they are to be nomi-
mated
Evening star., 1948-04-15

asking the question: "Well, do we
stand for this fellow or not?" 1t
was agreed that the final answer
didn't have to be made Immediately.
Meanwhile a holding operation is
in progress. Taft and Dewey lieu
tenants are exhorting their people
to stand fast, wait and see.
The Nebraska developments fur
ther improve Senator Vandenberg's
position as q possible compromise
candidate most politicos feel. A
few suggest that unless Mr.. Stassen
exercises considerable tact in the
coming critical weeks. his harrled
opponents would even sponsor a
rank outsider to beat him.
Victory Psychology.
It is a~great pity from Mr.. Stas-
sens point of view that President
Truman is so feeble candidate;
then Mr.. Stassen could make more
capital of his vote-getting powers.
But the Republican organization Is
coldly convinced 1t can win in No
vember with Henry Mencken's
Chinaman.
Mr.. Stassen naturally is exhila-
rated by what he has done to the
lead-off candidates. 1t creates a
victory psychology; it pulverizes the
easy "he's not going anywhere" talk.
But his actual convention strength
can easily be exaggerated. He has
scored his knockouts among his
neighbors on the bread basket cir
cult. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ne
braska are very similar, filled with
people whose interests. likes and
dislikes, are much the same. And
it is a region which normally never
selects and never elects President.
Two tests next month must be
awaited for evidence as to the
breadth and depth of the Stassen
appeal-Ohio and Oregon.
In Ohio May he stands up to
Senator Taft on the Senator's home
grounds. 1t was an impolite chal-
Evening star., 1948-04-15

enough. AS OF today he is headed
straight into deadlock with Gov.
Dewey and Senator Taft.
Something very like the famous
session of 1920 seems to be in the
making, the one from which War
rem G. Harding emerged when the
smoke had cleared away. Senator
Hiram w. johnson arrived in Chi
cago that June hero OF the prl-
maries. He had won more of them
than any other candidate and he
was not far behind the leaders, Gov.
Frank O. Lowden and Gen. Leonard
Wood, when the balloting began.
But the bulk of the delegates had
not been chosen in primaries. They
were the creatures of State organi-
cations and, for the most part,
under pretty tight control. The
scrappy, colorful Californian was
unable to make much Of dent IN
their solid ranks. At his peak he
had close to 800 votes, dozen or
so behind each Of the two top run
ners. Then the managers took over
and the country got Harding.
Friends in Right Places.
So it will be necessary for Mr..
Stassen to have friends lined up in
the right places the third week in
June, as Hiram Johnson did not in
1920, but as Wendell Willkie did
In 1910. There is no reason, OF
course, to doubt that Mr.. Stassen
knows this; no reason to doubt that
he knows every move that was
made In the Willkie campaign. The
whole story Of his race is a re-
markable duplicate although no
body has yet called him "the bare
foot boy Of Wall Street"
The Minnesotan will have to win
the support of the Dewey and Taft
hackers. He is not likely to win
the support Of Gov. Dewey and
Senator Taft themselves. They have
put too much time, effort and heart
burning into the struggle toward
the White House that began in 1910
and Mr.. Stassen isn't doing thing
to save their faces or their feelings.
Quite the contrary. He has openly
afronted the New York Governor

4S2 q fASAoSSAs
In Hollywood nothing is more
important than%a producer. With
a single nod of his head he can
lift you from obscurity to genuine
rabbit coats, a world premiere in
Amarillo, Tex, and house which
has II master bedrooms, an unap-
preciated painting by master, and
more tennis courts than Wimbledon.
Comfort, I Want.
But not being q producer, and
WITHOUT the power to give aspiring
starlets an opportunity to try to
read their names in lights, I get
little or no pleasure from my hand
some convertible. Comfort is what
I want from a car, and truck Is
infinitely more comfortable.
Take the one in which Bogart
Rogers and I made the transcon-
tinental trip. 1t is ideally suited
for family use. There can be no
back-seat driving by yappish
woman, because there is no back
seat. No matter how much
woman loves to second-guess her
husband at the wheel, the chances
are that she won't sit on the floor
for the privilege Of exercising this
femalish trait. If she elects to sit
by her husband while he Is driv-
ing, the noise of a truck will drown
out her voice, no matter II some
where back In her family line there
is screech owl blood. Any man who
has ridden over one block with a
woman will appreciate this ad-
vantage of a truck. The noise gets
on your nerves for awhile, of course,
but the rattling and banging OF a
truck is sweeter music than the
back-seat chatter of the missus.
I speak from experience, if you
are questioning anything I have
said so far.
My wife has been looking all her
life for a car with dual controls.
If she ever finds one, I will break all
existing records getting to Reno.
A truck is much roomier than a
passenger car. If there had been
automobiles during the time OF the
Spanish Inquisition, one OF the
tortures which would have been in
flicted on the victims would be that

On the Other Hand
Time for Harold Stassen to Begin
Butterins Up the Party's Big Boys

by sneering of the suggestion that
he share the ticket with him. He
has belittled Senator Taft's pre-
tensions by entering the Ohio pri-
mary. That primary, by the way,
three weeks hence, will be one to
watch.
Other Bruised Hearts.
The Nebraska contest has left
some other bruised hearts. 1t was
not a nominating primary in any
real or binding sense, being rather
a personal popularity poll. A Ne
braska editor launched it In spirit
of good, clean fun. Under the State
law anybody could enter anybody he
wished, with or without the victims
consent. The editor entered every
body he could think Of, including
some who would have preferred not
to have their popularity put to the
test.
Joe Martin, for example. The
Speaker of the House had intended
to enter no primaries; had expected
not even to be his own States "fa-
vorite SON.; had wanted only to be
the strong, silent man to whom the
convention would turn when the
deadlock occurred. He had dropped
into Nebraska, to be sure, before the
feudin', fightin', fussin' got under
way, just to allow himself to be
noticed, in the hope that he might
be remembered in June. But he
wanted no showing-up in April. Now
it will take more than one sleight
of hand trick, like that which
settled" the coal strike the other
day, to restore him to the i'm
pressive role he had devised for
himself.
Other things revealed by Tues
days voting include a strong indica-
ton that the Midwest has lost
its taste for both the suave Gov.
Dewey and the outspoken Senator
Taft. Like Mr.. Stassen, these two
put everything they had into the
personal scramble for votes, grab
bing last minute issues such as the
state of our foreign espionage sys-
tem,. when all the old issues had
been used up. No issue-or audi
ence-was too small for their at
tention. They cannot laugh of the
result.
One man can. Senator Vanden-
berg protested the submission of his
name. The vote given him is sig
nificant.
