WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Newspapers in the nation recently made comment on the California primary and the Cincinnati En- qurer is outspoken as to the results and says the legacy of the has still another Roosevelt in good stead. t@
 James Roosevelt emerges the Democratic nomi- nee for Governor of California in of those unique primaries in which both he and popular Gov. Earl Warren cross-filed and sought nomination on both ballots The late Presidents eldest made hardly a token showing in the Republican primary (Warren beat him by almost 10 to one), but he did deprive the incumbent of certain victory for third term by heading him off in the Democratic primary Governor Warren established himself political figure of national dimensions by winning both party nomi- nations previously.
 The apparent result in California, therefore, is to lessen Governor Warren's prestige in the national political amphitheatre and to increase greatly that of James Roosevelt AS a matter of fact, the primary results seem to forte Governor Warren's retirement by MT. Roosevelt in the final election despit the

poor showing the latter made in the Republican pri mary and the good tathough not quite good enough) showing that Governor Warren made amongst the Democratic primary votesrs The Warren total in the two primaries was better than quarter of million larger than the Roosevelt total However, California is heavily Democratic State; the Democrats have a registered majority of something like million, and in the normal course Roosevelt should win the gov ernorshp.
 Thus within the span of two years two of the Roosevelt sons have shown that the name still has political magic. A impressive demonstration of this was when Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. real tyro at politics. won special congressional election in New York City in opposition to Tammany Hall candidate.
 Ironically, there is warmth of feeling Cor if it is warm it isn't friendly feeling between those who inherited the Roosevelt name and President Truman who inherited the Roosevelt political dynasty James Roosevelt already something of political figure in California at the time of the last convention and he was one of the conspicuous anybody but Truman" personalities at Philadelphia.

Several Boston bluebloods, in- cluding Richard Saltonstall, brother of the senator from Massachusetts. have money tied up in Texmass Petroleum Company-now under investigation by the Senate. Tex mass Wangled a Sl5,000,000 REC loan to pay back its creditors and investors. However, this column, after careful check, is convinced that Senator Saltonstall didn't lift a finger to put through the loan and get his brothers money back (Richard Saltonstall invested $50. 000) =. Secretary Acheson got a blistering cable from Ambassador Wiley in Iran, after this writer predicted Wiley would be replaced as ambassador by Henry Grady, former ambassador to Greece. When the Iranian Embassy in Washington heard the prediction, It cabled the news to Teheran and and the Iranian Foreign Minister called on Ambassador Wiley to say farewell Wiley knew nothing ab- out his imminent recall and when 1t was confirmed, he sent a scorc.l- ing cable. saying he was insulted to learn of his recall second hand from the Iranian government and Drew Pearson.

 Tn England they thought we were on our last legs as far as labor relations go," Johnston told Wilson. They thought labor and capital were at daggers points, with no chance Of Cooperation.

Dangerous Senator?

With a majority of North Car olina publishers opposing Sen. Frank Graham for reelection, a majority of working newsmen are vigorously for him And unable to find adequate expression in all of their papers, the newsmen put out a special edition of the Meek lenburg Democrat in honor of Sem ator Graham
 Lead story in the special paper started off:
 Frank Graham is as dangerous as the Declaration of Independence. as radical as the Beatitudes, as revolutionary as the Bill of Rights. !"
 The newsmen also pointed out that Graham has received honorary degrees from Harvard, Columbia Princeton, Duke. Davidson, William and Mary, Amherst, Dartmouth University of Louisville and several others
 Despite this, Graham is now be- ing assailed by some of the state S big textile and cigarette interests as dangerous radical.

THE DEPARTURE OF TOM DEWEY

Not yet 50, Tom Dewey has had one of the most picturesque car eers ever to be the lot of small town boy who made the grade in the worlds largest city. Coming from Owosso, Mich, the son of a ! newsraperman, Tom Dewey had been brought up in the moderate circumstances of middle western families and he terminates his pol itical career in the same economic circumstances.
 Tom Dewey has been able to do little more than pay as he went in an era when small fry turn themselves into rich men with every whirl of the game of politics. The financial problem of living up to ones position without the means to do it can become very prac- tical one for a person who takes family responsibility seriously
 Tom Dewey's personality is not oiSii oo WILD pCOpiC OO iiiiii Ndoiiy [. He is not the most warm-hearted and cordial of men, and in the arrangement of his political car eer, he has been too rigid for the hail-fellow- -well-met traditions of our people. Nevertheless, his team" as it has been called, of extraordinarily capable men has re- mained with him throughout his career, all of them at great per- sonal sacrifice, and all of them go- ing out of positions of temptation and opportunity without scandal. That has been public service at it's best, and has undoubtedly been the keystone of DeWey's success.
 Dewey's pre-eminence has been as an administrator rather than as

Marshall Plan Para

 Youngish-looking Stuart Syming- ton, chairman of the National Sec urity Resources Board, remarked to ECA administrator Paul Hoff- man that he had to go to Yale over the week end because his two boys were graduating.
 Well, I have three sons, two daughters and son-in-law all graduating this year." remarked Hoffman modestly.
 This seemed almost too much to believe, even for man as ver- satile as the Marshall Plan ad- ministrator. But this columnist, checking the facts, found the re- markable score chalked up by the Hoffman family to be as follows:
 Donald Gray Hoffman graduated from Kenyon College, Ohio, in Feb ruary, 1850
 Lathrop Hoffman graduated from the University of California in February, 1850.
 Robert c. Hoffman will graduate from the University of California this fall.
 Barbara Hoffman will also grad uate from California this fall.
 Mrs. Kiriki De Diego Newmark a ward, is graduating from Benn- ington College in July.
 Ben Newmark, Hoffman's son-in- law, graduated from Williams in February, 1850

a politician. He has been governor of New York State two terms of four years each and has given a difficult and intricate governmental and social structure the best ad- ministration it has. ever known. Even his political enemies concede his vast abilities as an executive.
 Twice nominated for the Presi- dency, he was twice defeated, tine second time unnecessarily, as most students of the problem assert. Although he is the titular head of the Republican party, he has no great personal following within it.. Yet. because of his unusual admin istrative abilities, he is admired without being beloved. His in fluence may be greater as a private citizen than it has been as a gov ernor speaking on international problems.
 His unWillingnesS to run for re- election as governor of New York, in a year when his reelection is certain, is the elimination of ill., ness, of fatigue, and of the profits of honesty. Tom Dewey cannot, out of his wages as public official, provide adequately for his family This is true of so many men in public life because of its cost to ones family.
 In an era when money is being wasted as an article of faith, all public officials are underpaid.
 When it grows increasingly diff ficult to save, the cost of a pol itical career is becoming increas- ingly prohibitive. Members of Con- gress help themselves by pracricing law, delivering lectures, or even putting a relative on the payroll, but administrative officials cannot earn on the side.
 When a governor of a state like New York tries to live on $25,0O0 year, and pay income taxes, he finds himself unable to do much more than get by. The liklihood is that he may even have to go into his savings, if any, or borrow from friends or relatives. Because the cost of public life in big cities is fast becoming prohibitive. in city like New York, with more than 8,OOO,OO0 to choose from, the gen. eral level of public men is so low. And that is becoming increasingly true throughout the nation.
 Unfortunately, the Republicans do not have a strong candidate to replace Tom Dewey. The lieuten- ant-governor, Joe Hanley, age "A, is charming personality good campaigner and popular amollg those who know him. He might make the grade
 The Democrats have a horde fof candidates, including Franklin D Roosevelt, Jr.; Oscar Ewing, the socialized medicine man; Judge Ferdinand Pecora, Judge Charles Froessel, both popular and suitable candidates; Mayor William O'Dwy- CT of New York, an inexplicable phenomenon who does everything wrong and remains politically po- tent; and James A. Farley, who can be elected by merely announcing that he is a candidate.
 The Republicans face problem in this galaxy which they canr1ot take in their stride. They will have to do more than work hard to hold this state.
