Shot in Party Arm
Ten North Central States Leaders
Nav Jump Into Fight to Ditch Truman

gather Sunday In Des Moines, "a,
include Wisconsin, Michigan, Min
nesota, North and South Dakota,
Colorado, Montana, Kansas, Iowa
and Nebraska. Politicoes here
spotted the names of several 1914
supporters Of Henry Wallace for vice
president and suggested they had
been having plenty Of trouble try
ing to switch their people to Mr..
Truman.
Out to Clear Air.
The suggestion that Justice Doug
las ought to be nominated In the
Presidents place will definitely be
made to the conference. It's pro-
ponents hope it will have the effect
Of clearing the air on General Eisen-
hover.
Even some supporters Of Justice
Douglas are content to let the
Democrats 60 on talking about Gen.
Eisenhower on the theory that they
can substitute Justice Douglas at the
psychological moment. It is hardly
fair to handicap the Justice by any
such benttling tactics-he is entirely
worthy Of being offered on his own
merits or not at all.
However, many Democrats seen,
to cling to their dream world in
which they are rescued, not by their
own intelligent efforts, but by Gen.
eral Ike on q white horse. They
have no scrap Of evidence to offer:
they merely hope. But it seems en-
tirely possible that Americans TO,
Democratic Action, also meeting
Sunday Tin Pittsburgh, Pa, will
boom the general. II they do he
may feel the occasion calls for an
other renunciation sharper than the
flrst.
Some Of the more serious politi-
Goes believe the situation already
trends to the farcical. They be-
lieve it Is time for the party, If II
intends to ditch MI. Truman OF
win the election, to settle down to
o possible alternative and 20 to
work instead Of waiting for q mir
acle man to save them.

pouses .. liberal reform or pro-

ileged. - II unreliable people hold
important posts from which Com

we need not ape the Communists

antidote to communism Is effective
democratic government"
"The basic rivalry between the
two nations today Is political. We
must be equipped to meet the poll
tical program Of the Communists at
whatever point in the world they
may select for action. Our
greatest error would be to fashion
our foreign policy merely in terms
|of anti-communism. We will fail
miserably II we do no more than
that. For then we will end by rail-
ing and ranting at the specter OF
communism but do nothing to elm
mate the conditions ON which COM
munism thrives. II we follow that
course. war viii soon appear as the
only alternative"
when we prop up governments
that are self-seeking, corrupt or
fascist, we lose ground in the world
wide struggle against communism.
When we stand behind the liberal
and progressive forces in other
countries we become identified with
their interests. Then the demo-
cratic cause gains strength and
character. Then the flood tide Of
communism will begin to recede."

|. So the people are casting about
for some means of escaping this
catastrophe. Which means they are
seeking some man upon whom they
can fasten their hope Of deliverance.
This accounts for the remarkable
clamor, within both old political
parties, for the leadership it is
believed Gen. Dwight Eisenhower
might provide. It accounts for the
turning toward Gen. Macarthur
following Gen. Eisenhower's earnest
plea to be spared the responsibility.
Symbols Of Armed Might.
The two men have great prestige
as soldiers. That does not Of itself
qualify them for the presidency, as
Gen. Eisenhower himself has argued
convincingly. But the average citi-
zen sees them as symbols Of Amer
ica's armed might and, as such, the
best possible deterrent to any war
like ambition on the part Of any
other country; in other words, as
the best insurance against war. He
sees them also as the men nkeliest
to lead US to victory In case war is
not avoided. OF the two appeals, I
believe the first is the greater, for
the men and. women Of America
certainly do not want war.
THIS national state Of mind must
explain the fact that President Tru-
man has ceased to satisfy 80 large
q part Of his own party and the fact
that the names Of Dewey, Taft,
Stassen and the rest fail to arouse
real enthusiasm within their party.
None is seen as the man capable Of
coping with communisn-without
war.
Within the Democratic Party the
present desperate circumstances
have brought up again the name Of
Justice William o. Douglas Of the
United States Supreme Court. A
serious effort in his behalf is re-
ported to be organizing in the Mid
die West. It Is timely therefore to
quote a few paragraphs bearing on
the question of war, and how to
avoid it, from q speech made by
the Justice. two weeks ago at the
University Of Florida.

Chicago Publishers
Amend Offer 10 ITU
Sy ths Asseeiatsd Press

CHICAGO, June 1s. - Chicago
Newspaper Publishers yesterday
amended q final" contract offer to
striking printers.
The publishers met with Woodruff
Randolph, president of the Inter-
national topographic Union. Local
eof the ITU has been on strike
against Chicago's five major daily
newspapers since November "a. The
newspapers have been publishing
aI1ee by photoengraving typewriter

A publishers spokesman said the
"finar' contract offer was amended
to offset a claim by Mr.. Randolph
that the proposal as originally Of
fered would "dismember or destroy
the union.
The publishers final proposal,
made several weeks ago, offered a
So weekly wage increase and set a
June deadline for acceptance.
However, the publishers and the
union officials have held several
meetings since.
A union spokesman said after
yesterdays meeting that there
would be another meeting after
we have had a chance to study
their new proposal"
There was no hint given as to how
the publishers amended their offer.
However, a publishers spokesman
said these clauses of the offer were
Clarified:
That If nonunionists are hired,
they must first have had six years
experience at the trade; an agree
ment to a joint apprenticeship COM
mittee; an agreement not to use
substitutes for typesetting processes
throughout the life of the contract
so long as normal operation prevails,
and an agreement to submit all
contract disputes to arbitration.
The publishers offer would bring
day scales to $94.50 weekly and
night shift wages to 500 for 36l4
hours and early morning pay to
800 for a 30-hour week.
