Senator Peppers Defeat

1t would be quite chore to track down all
of the factors that contributed to Senator
Peppers humping defeat in the Florida primary.
II there was any political trick that was not
tried at some stage of the campaign, it does not
come readily to mind 1t may not be true that
Florida has been dubbed the Alligator State
because of the nature of its politics. but it GER
tainly is a fact that the Pepper -Smathers
campaign set some kind of a new record in
dragging politics down to the fang -and-claw
level.
The Communist and race issues were pumped
up for all they were worth. In one Florida town
Negro rushed up to the campaigning Senator
Pepper and shook his hand. The next day the
harried Senator's supporters were exhibiting
af1davits to show that the Negro had been paid
$25 to do it. The Smathers people painted the
Senator in every shade from pink to deep red.
The Senator, an old hand at the game in his
own right, hit back with charges that Mr..
Smathers was Du Pont lawyer, which pre-
sumably is the Florida equivalent, at the opposite
extreme, of Communist. He said that If the
surface trappings could be taken off, the real
Mr.. Smathers would be exposed as deSpicable
Republican, and he Stoutly maintained that he,
Senator Pepper, was the only honest-to-g goodness
Democrat in the race.
The chances are that Senator Pepper was
hurt more than his opponent by this kind of
in-hghting. For one thing he was more vulner-
able. For another, given the prevailing emotional
climate, it is more damaging to be tagged as
Communist sympathizer than as a disguised
Republican.
There were other factors in the campaign,
however which should be of greater interest to
the country as a whole. Senator Pepper cam
paigned as an answering and devoted worker
in the Fair Deal ranks. MIR. Smathers, though
firm supporter Of the President on international
issues, had shown a measure of independence on
domestic questions. Thus, it can be inferred
that the Pepper defeat was, to some extent,
rejection BY the voters of the Fair Deal Program
Of fundamental Importance and interest,
however, was the clear-cut injection into the
campaign of the labor issue. Senator Pepper
I was vigorous opponent of the Taft-HartleyR
Act. Mr.. Smathers had supported #, and he stuck
to his guns during the campaign. The unions
CIO, AFL and the railroad brotherhoods- jumped
into the fight and poured out money and man
power in the Senator's behalf Unlike the Presi-
dent, who took neither side, they pumped for
the Senator and they will have to accept the
spanking that is implicit in his defeat.
In The Stars opinion this is a good thing for
the country. If the time comes when labor unions
can use their wealth and power to control the
election of Senators, as they tried to do in
Florida and as they will again try to do in Ohio.
the members of the Senate will have lost the
last trace OF that political independence which is
essential for the protection of the public interest

Arlington zoninq

would like to summarize the chief
reasons why the Arlington County Board
ought to abandon the proposed new zon-
ing ordinance.
% Zoning seems to be essentially
one-way street. All changes are in the
direction of relaxing restrictions. Hence,
needed, so that each one can be carefully
considered.
(2 Changes are not so well advertised
as when signs are posted on individual
properties. No doubt there are still many
citizens who do not know what is pro-
posed for their areas or even for their
own properties
90 When so many changes are pro-
posed at once, it is impossible for citizens
to concentrate their opposition; hence.
it is less effective. Despite the many con-
ferences and hearings. most Of the
changes are not so well considered as
are those which come up in regular
monthly hearings.
a. It Is hard to fix responsibility on
individual Board members. Actual de-
cisions are in private conferences. The
only way citizens can fix a measure Of
responsibility is by holding every Board
member who votes for the ordinance per-
sonally accountable for every change
in it.
The chairman of the County Board has
indicated that letters received up to May
will be considered. hope that every
citizen interested in the welfare of the
community will get in letter.

Lody Baseball Funs

The hosts of feminine baseball fans of
Washington respectfully request recon-
sideration of the generalizations in the
editorial of April % in regard to women
and baseball. This is not an attempt to
initiate q battle of the sexes. But the
thousands of Washington ladies who
turn to your fine sports page before they
read your equally fine women's page, are
living testimony that the time has
passed when women collectively had no
interest in baseball for baseball's sake.
Hundreds of ladies have for years held
season reservations at Griffith Stadium.
They sacrifice not whit of their fem
ininity while possessing a coldly intel
lectual knowledge of the game. They
are occasionally amused when some un-
known gentleman seated nearby, kindly
attempts to explain the game to them.
BY the end Of three innings. they are
usually exchanging fine points and
precedentS on a fan-to-fan basis
These ladies naturally do not include
the teen-age hero worshippers. the gals
who shrek over every pop fly or the
wives who kindly accompany their hus-
bands to game or two. They have a
solid knowledge of baseball.
Many of them weary their gentlemen
friends and relations with baseball talk,
not only in season but throughout the
winter hot-stove league season and
spring training as well. They can quote

The Fair Deal, like the New Deal, is a

system built on collectivism and social

certainly is not system that protects
or respects liberty. The Fair Deal has
already ruled out God, ruled out the

Barely surviving the obstacle of

1885 on.
