The first public sign of split in
the Republican party in the state,
which most of us have known about
for sometime, came at a meeting of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee in Baltimore on Monday night
when Robert o. Bonnell, we'll
known Baltimore banker, who has
been chairman of the Republican
State Finance Committee for the last
four years, resigned.
In my book McKeldin's chances of
being elected governor of Maryland
depends largely on the size of the
Mahoney vote against Governor Lane
in the Democratic primary. If there
is anything like close race in the
primary between the Governor and
his opponent, then the chances OF
McKeldin will be enhanced consld-
erably, but if the Mahoney forces
fail to make real showing then l
would say that the Governor will
have all the best of it in the general
election.
MY congratulations to the Chamber
of Commerce for honoring the Little
League team that did such magni-
ficent Job in the Little World Series
at Williamsport.
The youngsters are to be the
guests of the Board of Directors of
the Chamber of Commerce at a
luncheon-meeting at the Hotel Alex
ander on September IL, and they
richly deserve it.
The sponsoring organizations that
made the Hagerstown Little League
possible, and the men who are giving
unselfshly of their time, efforts and
money to operate it, are also to be
highly commended
Clinton johnson, director of public

1t was good to find John Dunn
back at home after his stay at the

and now if he will just be content
to stay at home for while and
really rest, and let his very efficient

as they have been doing in his alb
sence, he will make the complete
recovery that made. So again
say, John, take it easy until the doc

Nothing New in Address.
The optimists who expected Mr..
Truman to make some spectacular
announcements in his speech
Tuesday night at San Francisco
were disappointed. There was
nothing new in his address. The
statement that we shall meet force
with force already has been full
filled in Korea. 1t may have served
as an additional healthy warning
to Russia, which already has ex-
perienced on the battlefield our
decision not to permit its puppets
to run roughshod over its neigh
borS.
The warning to the Muscovites
to cooperate with the Western
world for the establishment of
lasting peace has been heard be-
fore by the Politburo. But whether
Mr.. Truman, as result of his talk
with Gen. Macarthur, has decided
to resist the planned appeasement
OF the Reds by the U. N. in the Far
East remains to be seen.
Outside frequent references to
Korea, Mr.. Truman mentioned
none of the other areas which now
are threatened by the Soviet pup
pets. There was no reference to
FormoSa or Indo- China. The lat

to survive, and after me the

The Germans are the most anti
Communist people in Europe, ex-
cept those behind the iron cur
tain. But they simply cannot un-
derstand the five years policy of
the West. They think the world
an insane asylum. They freely
admit that they were among the
chief maniacs, but are convinced
that they were only one victim
of a universal mental epidemic.
They think the unif1cation of Ger
many and Europe a constructive
idea, but know it cannot now be
achieved without war. War, they
think, would not only complete
the destruction of Germany
which no longer exists. in fact. 1t
would complete the destruction of
the only reality-themselves.
No Belief in Any Cause.
There is no trace of a militant
or revolutionary spirit. There is
no belief in any cause. In politi-
cal matters they are wholly skep-
teal. There is a great turning
toward religion-other- -worldliness,
ultimate values, the religiosity of
the meek. Outwardly. they are
conformists, following the line of
least resistance. They recognize
that, as Mr.. Voigt observes. 1.-The
art of government is a dying art"

the semblance of courage-the ac-

sumption that life is not worth
living, and yet must be lived
though without purpose.
No one can make fighting
force out of broken-hearted, bro
ken-minded people.
But foreign ministers and high
commissioners do not consider
this, thinking only in terms of
manpower, industrial potentials,
and never in terms of man him

Full Confidence of President Truman

ter already is being attacked by
Moscow's puppet, Ho Chi Mini,
whose armies were trained in Red
China and are being equipped with
Soviet war material.
The real results of the Truman
Macarthur meeting will be shown
after the President resumes his
activities in Washington and con-
fers with his top policy advisers.
He will then be able to weigh the
views of the Allied supreme COM
mander against those of the diplo-
mats and politicians in Washing
ton.
Reports of Cabinet Shifts.
There are many reports from
usually qualified sources that some
spectacular changes may have to
be made in the State Department
and there is current talk that Sec
retary of State Acheson may turn
over his seal of Office to w. Averell
Hartman, the White House for
eign policy adviser. This talk is
more than the usual gossip which
always goes around the Capital.
Mr.. Truman still has full conf
dence in Mr.. Acheson. But it is
said that if he has decided in his
own mind that our Far Eastern
policy must be revised in the light
of the active threat from the Rus
slams in that area, another Secre-
tary of State must do the job.
1t is said by those who judge the
situation on the basis of Gen.
MacArthurs previous reports that
the present increased strength of
ground, naval and air
forces in the Pacific will not be
reduced in the near future, re-
gardless of what happens in Eu-
rope.
So long as the U. s. S. r. main
tains its present attitude. the Far
East will remain a sensitive spot
and we cannot take a chance of
being caught off guard, as was the
case when the Korean aggression
occurred.
One thing appears certain
among all the speculation and
conjectures which occupy the
minds of official and unofficial
observers in Washington. Gen.
has gained consider
able stature and the full conf
dence of Mr.. Truman.

In this indecisive discussion,
the matter of morale plays no
part. 1t is assumed that If the
Western allies decide that Western
Germany should rearm, only time
and technicalities will delay such
a force from springing into being.
Then the old German soldierly
qualities-voluntary discipline and
obedience born of patriotism-will
reassert themselves. The only
danger-as indicated in a recent
speech of the French High Com
missioner Francois Poncet-may
be that they will assert them
selves too vigorously!
For whatever my opinion is
worth-and I have more often
than not been right about the
Germans-I think this attitude is
afflicted by dangerous blindness.
I also greatly respect the opinions
of F. A. Voigt, a penetrating stu
dent Of Germany, who registered
his most recent impressions in the
October 7 issue of "The New
Leader" Mr.. Voigt knows that
men will not fight effectively with
out the will to fight, and he finds
no traces of such will in Western
Germany, as I found no traces
there of the much-feared soldierly
qualities. Unconditional surrender
has worked. 1.-THE spirit of Ger
many" says Mr.. voigt, sis the
spirit of Vichy-but much more
defeatist."
One may add that the spirit of
Vichy is also the spirit of France,
but more so than before. The
resistance is dead. The Germans,
not without sympathy, call France
the other defeated nation.
The Germans are working so
hard and efficiently that this OBJ
scures more important factors.
Germans flee into work, as an
anodyne against individual col
lapse. But what gives work social

grams. This attack has kept Sen
ator Hickenlooper beating the
bushes, especially in the small
towns, which are his major bull
Wark.
The famous Brannan plan is an
in-and-out issue. AS Vice Pres
ident Barkley let slip, Democrats
have been backing away from it.
But Mr.. Loveland was Mr.. Bran
mans undersecretary and Dem
ocrats beat the drums right here
in a great debut for the Brannan
brain child last year.
The Korean war took Mr.. Love-
land off the hook temporarily but
victory has dampened that issue
and the plan is back. Also, Mr..
Brannan will be here this week,
an attention that Democrats
would just as soon forego; it is
not, however, in the nature of the
modest, loyal Loveland. to rebuff
his former boss. The party is
hoping that, as Mr.. Loveland has
been doing. Secretary Brannan
will dwell largely on unassail-
able principle with a few kind
words for noncontroversial details,
rather than deliver a powerful
sales talk.
Troublesome Factor.

Allan Kline, president of the pow
erful Farm Bureau Federation, an
IoWan, Is another troublesome
factor for Democrats. Common
horse thieves are the gentry in
comparison to what these two i'm
portant men say of one another.
The result is that Mr.. Kline's con-
siderable influence will operate
against Mr.. Loveland to the in
cidental benefit of Senator Hick-
enlooper.
Roughly speaking, the Iowa
vote centers in three major blocs.
The Senator has a substantial
edge in the important small
towns. Mr.. Loveland will benefit
to some undetermined degree
from labor activity in the larger
cities. The farmers will set the
final verdict. And the farmers
are not mad or fearful as in '48
when corn prices plummeted and
storage was lacking due to a Re-
publican Congress-they are only
questioning.
After 1948, nobody will lay a
bet.

situation. He has persuaded a lot
of them that while Senator Hick-

that Hickenloopers strength

Only $500 In
Cash Is Stolen

Thieves broke into the Noble
Products building on South West

stole $25 in cash, it was learned
today. Police Officer Fred Davis
said Monday that fingerprint ex-
perts from the state highway pa
troll had obtained fingerprints
and that every effort is being

Another attempted robbery
was also reported laEt Friday
evening. Jack Berry, county cor
oner, who drives truck for Will

distributor, had a rock or club
thrown at his truck as he return
ed from his route Friday eve
ming.
An unidentified man who was
standing near the Caldwell Pro-
duce company plant tossed the
object which hit the cab and
bounced off. Mr.. Berry drove on
home and returned with Officer
Fred Davis but failed to find the
would-be bandit. Mr.. Berry was
reported to have been carrying
several hundred dollars in cash
at the time.
