Editor Union County Journal:
One of the major casualties of
the Korean war is its preoccupa-
ton of the presidents attention,
to the exclusion of his promised
haberdash over the country to
make certain by the matchless
oratory, so effective in 1948, an
eighty-Second congress intellec-
tually fit to grasp the exquisite
logic of his altruistic plans to
make over the world into a
brotherhood wond erland, of
which to Alice it did not occur
to dream.
Probably in no other state was
his reluctant absence from the
critical 1850 hustings so lamented
as in Ohio, where the Buck eye
suffers only negligably from pol
itical astigmatism, and candidate
values are subjected to a keen
ness of vivisectional discrimina-
ton which, in the deep south, for
instance, would be historically
unethic. Here, we have the most
exciting senatorial contest the
present century has brought forth
in our once land of the free, and
now emaciated dollar. Robert A..
Taft and Joseph T. Ferguson re-
present about the most stark
qualifications contrast the mind
of man could conceive. The one,
meticulously trained from his
youth for a career of distinction;
of integrity unassailed except by
ulterior direction; long acclimated
to the alert use of parliamentary
finesse; allegiant to the highest
principles of public service;
most ably backgrounded in all
that it takes to efficient the vital
position he holds in safeguarding
the well-being of ALL the people,
black and white, jew and gentle,
labor and management; IL years
of proven top fitness for the job
to which he honorably seeks re-
election. The other, a book-keep-
the State Auditors office, and
er raised to the glorification of
continuing, if defeated for Sena-
tor, ad infinitum in this security,
in which he has already had such
excess of perpetuality that this
years first voters never have
known any other State Auditor.
If elected to the senate of the
United States he will be a Stooge
in all that the term implies,
structure of the lonesome pine,
sitting on the composite knees of
the illustrious ventriloquist quin-
tuplets, William Green, Phil
Murray, Walter Reuthless, Harry
Bridges and John L. Lewis, the
last of whom did not dare to
expose his captive miners to
first hand contact with Mr.. Taft
lest they learn the Taft Hartley
facts of life. That's for sure.
Taft against Ferguson is for the
place at stake, Virtuoso against
Vacuity. Vic Donahey went to the
senate on a 35 cent baked potato.
Maybe Ferguson can do it by
obstructing a turnpike. Presi-
dent Truman told recent news
conference the election will be
a Democratic landslide. With
five New Deal landslideS to date,
the land can scarcely afford to
slide any further.
The labor bosses do right
well
In finding men with souls to
sell;
Meantime our country goes
to He'll
'Twixt G / O and A F L.
Let's not keep it that way

Distriel's Official Flower

And a rose fancier, John

The rose that became an

ported to this country in 1886
by George Bancroft. the noted
historian, and was first grown
in his garden at 1923 H street
NV, OF. the east side of the
site now occupied by the
Transportation Building. A
plaque on the southeast cor
ner of that building marks
the site.
1t is said that when the
rose did not thrive in Mr..
Bancroft's garden, his gar
dener, John Brady, took it to
his own dollhouse, where he
cultivated it successfully. Mr..
Brady later sold the rose to
George and Thomas Field,
local horticulturists, who are
generally credited with intro
ducing it as the American
Beauty.
David E. Saunders. 81 years
a White House gardener until
he retired in 1947, grew thou
sands of American Beauties
in the conservatory that for
merly stood where the Presi-
dent now has his offices. Mr..
Saunders recalls that Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt and the
first Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
decorated the family rooms at
the White House with these
regal roses, and often sent
them to friends.
Robert M. Redmond, in
charge of White House gar
dens and floral arrangements,
says he has used no American
Beauties for two decades, but
Congressman still ask him
where to obtain them.
Two of the 900 members of
the Potomac Rose Society
grow the American Beauty for
sentimental reasons. Frank S.
Pohanka, Burnt Mills Hills,
Md. has one among his 600
bushes, and A. C. Barrett,
4719 BrandyWine street NV,
has two. Mr.. Pohanka's rose,
now IL years old, won a blue
ribbon as the finest hybrid
perpetual at the American
Rose Society show in 1941.
Mr.. Barrett'S plants are seven
years old.
A few members of the Po-
tomac Rose Society also grow
the American Beauty climber.

Michigan Life Termer
Caught in Hour Chase
BY 80 Police Cars
By the Associated Press

GAYLORD. Mich, Mar. TO-
State police engaged in an hour
long pre-dawn chase on Northern
Michigan roads today to recapture
a fleeing criminal.
Alcide (Frenchy) Benoit, life
termer who figured in the killing
of policeman-one of Michigan S
cruelest crimes-13 years ago, set
off the chase.
The 36-year-old convicted mur-
derer fled from a police convoy
transferring prisoners.
Although handcuffed, Benoit
stole police car about am. and
raced 20 miles along a dark high
way before another officers car
overlook him.
80 Cars Join in Search.
Meanwhile 30 patrol cars coursed
the roads in the search and
blockaded the Otsego County area.
Mindful of Benoit's record, the
pursuing police were vigilant
against any desperate move from
the fugitive; but he surrendered
peacably when overtaken.
Still in his handouts, he was
captured about 20 miles south of
here on U. S. 27. He had been
free about an hour. ..
In the car. police said, were two
axes which they reported Benoit
had obtained by breaking into a
shack in his wild flight.
The convict went to prison for
life in 1887 in the sadistic killing
of state policeman. The slay-
ing had spurred one of Michi-
gan's greatest manhunts. .
Had Stopped for Gasoline.
On January 10, 1887, Trooper
Richard Hammond picked up
Benoit on a road near Monroe in
Southern Michigan for routine
questioning. Later Hammond,
shackled to a tree, was found shot
to death.
Benoit went to prison on a first
degree murder conviction.
With other prisoners, he was
being transferred from the North

group list of accusations against
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
handling of the Lustron loans.
RFC loans totaling $37. SOC, 900
to the Lustron Corp, prefabricated
housing firm at Columbus. Ohio,

The company was placed in re-
ceivership Monday on a foreclo-
sure action filed by the RFC in
Columbus.
RFC officials have said that the
Government might lose as much
as $50 million of the loans if the
company is liquidated.
Senator Douglas told a reporter
the accusations against RFC were
left with him by a group of Lus-
tron dealers. He declined to dis
cuss their nature, but said "all in
formation reaching us should be
sifted carefully"
A Lustron dealers group led by
w. w. Lobdell of Rockford, ILL.,,
came here recently and told news
men the Lustron Corp. was being
wrecked" because of "a plot in
side the Government"
Senator Douglas said their
statements are now a matter to
be handled by a Senate Banking
Committee investigating RFC
loans and policies.
