Miracle Man Sonnenberg

When Charles Luckman, tire de- posed czar of Lever Brothers soap empire, raps the gavel at the big Democratic dinner tonight, it will be triumph for a roly-poly little man with high-buttoned coat sitting in the audience.
 He is public-relations expert Ben Sonnenherg, who has achieved a public-relations miracle by havlne two of his proteges chairman the two big Democratic dinners. In fact it's got so that when the Democrats hold a dinner they figure on Men us by Oscar" and "Chairmen by Sonnenberg.
 The last New York dinner, which netted the Democrats more thar s250,000, was presided over by earthly Tom Morgan the Nortf Carolina boy who rose to be heac of Sperry Gyroscope and who, like Luckman, is client of Sonnen- berg's.
 To understand how the amazing MT. Sonnenberg was able to per form this miracle of putting his clients in front of the speakers stand twice in a row, you have tc understand the gentleman himself even his wife says that is difficult
 Coming to this country from Po- land as a boy, Ben never has for gotten his humble beginnings, re- minds his friends that his grand father was a Rabbi and his father a pushcart peddler,
 Ben represents some of the big gest corporations in the country Texas Oil, J. s. Bache Of Wal Street, Remington-R Rand PhiliT Morris and Lever Brothers. But he has a heart of gold and never is too busy to help out the non- paying little fellow.
 Though he takes good care oi his clients, he is brutaly frank in talking about himself, and once explained his high stiff collar anc tight-fitting coat this way q

 THE REPUBLICANS
-. E v -

I cannot put my teeth into the Republican statement of Principles and Objectives. I struggled through it's verbiage and could find nothing to inspire me. Having dubbed my self a Republican, registered as such, joined some clubs, delivered many speeches, written many ar ticles, suddenly find myself wond- ering.
 For all that this party offers to the people in 1850 is this pro- gram, it's leaders are without phil osophy and refuse altogether to meet issues head on or to recog- nize that as each year passes, the number of Americans who never knew Coolidge increases.
 With regard to foreign affairs, I can find nothing that differs from the Roosevelt Truman foreign pol icy except this paragraph:
 we insist upon restoration of our foreign agreements to their proper place inside the Constitu- tion and we insist that the United States shall not be bound to any course of action unless the spirit and letter of our constitutional pro- cedure are followed"
 Precisely what difference does this make? Will Poland or China, Czechoslovakia or Hungary be re- turned to freedom by this pious wish? The answer could he that the Republicans will hereafter disap- prove of the crimes of Yalta and Potsdam, but how does that solve any question?
 What they should have said is that they will investigate precisely what has been done in this field

New Democratic Senator

l A quarrel over the gravy train l is about all that's holding up the adding of a new Senator to the Democratic Party.
 "Lusty Wild Bill" Langer, one of the few, time Bull Moosers left in politics, is planning to pull up stakes and leave the Republican Party. The only hitch is that Dave Kelly, the North Dakota Democratic National Committeeman, does not want to split the Democratic pat ronage with Senator Langer. Hith- erto he has had the distribution of all Democratic jobs in North Da- kota.
 Langer, the Senator with the long stride, bull voice and habit of chewing cellophane- wrapped cig- ars, proudly lists his bolts to RoS- ert La Toilette and Hiram John- son when they ran for President.
 Today the Senator is virtually independent of the COP, because the nonrartisan league which con- trols North Dakota politics is solid y pro-Langer.
 Another factor which makes Lan- ger lean toward the Democrats is the revolt against Republican farm policies now spreading across tie Dakotas. When the COP policy statement was issued with such fanfare in Washington, a South Dakota dirt farmer, Axel Beck, pleaded with National Chairman Guy Gabrielson to let for-sure farmers draft positive agricul- tural program. But Beck was given
 the brushoff.

Democratic Fat-Cat

Illustration of how Democratic dinners may be mixed with blt business was the contribution o1 popular Bill Pawley, eX-Ambas- sador to Brazil, to the December ? New York dinner. At that dinner, Pawley took four tables. Cost: S4.000
 Pawley, great friend of Bob Hannegan, made big killing after the war when he bought surplus planes from the British in China turned round and sold them to the Chinese. Since Pawley made the deal outside the USA, it was tax free-so he raked in a handsome profit.
 More recently, Pawley has been pulling wires to help the Nationalist Chinese to whom he sold these planes. A good Democrat, high in party councils, his expensive four tables at the Waldorf dinner may have had no business motive. And it should be noted ill fairness that if Pawley tried to use political in fluence with Truman and Acheson re China, it didn't work.

Legalistic Fog
est. Louis tar-Times)

est. Louis Star-Times)
 As a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee con- ducts hearings on a proposed U N agreement to out law genocde legalisms fog the air
 No one has appeared before the committee to de- fend genocde which is the exterminaton of whole human groups. No one will But there IS a bulky-though hoow-legalistic objection being er- ected to U. s. ratification of this agreement
 Condensed the objection this way: The U. N genocide convention is a treaty. NOW under the U s. Constitution treaty is the supreme law of the land" Therefore, the genoclde convention would permit other nations to interfere in U $. sovereign rights, upsetting State laws and even con- stitutona guarantees. Final conclusion The senate should not agree to the convention.
 The reasoning runs straight enough But it ignores one major fact: The convention itself specifies that shall be applied in conformity with the nterhal laws of participating states Every possibility of con- flict with U. S. laws Solicitor General Philip b. Perman testified has been ruled out in so many paln words Those who see constitutional threat ln the convention-a majority of the American Bar ASsocla- ton unfortunately among them-see ghosts
 This U N agreement would make it a crime in international law for anyone to attempt the eXermla- ton of a race nation, that and nothing more It would spell out the horror the world felt at the Nazi attempts to the Jews people It woulf make any such future attempts punishable before international court.
 How can we possibly refuse to ratify such an agreement? If we do refuse, say that we place the haf-ficona concept of sovereignty above respect essions of longing for international law come to so much empty propaganda. If we do refuse, we are disgraced internationally, nation without honor.

since 1883 and insist that the whole record be published, as is, without ,, omissions. They might have done some good.
 Will the Republicans vote against appropriations for the State De- partment or for ECA or for Europ- can military aid unless all docu- ments are placed before Congress? If that is their intention, why do they not say so?
 And here is jigger that cannot be overlooked: The Republican Party declares that it would turn over to the United Nations the mobilization of "the Armed Forces of the world against aggression"
 Actually, another war can only be between the United States and Soviet Russia. The United Nations can mobilize no armed force that could stop either.
 The lack of realism in the Re- publican statement is evident in the fact that although our principal problem in foreign affairs is our relationship with Soviet Russia, that country is not mentioned even once in the document, the most being offered is that Potsdam and Yalta produced tragic consequences  which they deplore.
 On the domestic side, the Repub- licans are against socialism. They make a noble statement, like Cal win Coolidge's story about the preacher who was against sin. The paragraphs on that subject are we'll written and to the point. To prevent this country from being engulfed in socialism, the Rerub- licans propose all kinds of measures. mostly the same as Truman's.
 The reason, of course, is that Dewey lost Iowa in the last elect ion and therefore it is a risky pol itich business to monkey with farm subsidies. But the farmers ara not the only ores vino are being subsi- dized.
 Actually. the New Deai las pllr- sued a program of fragmentizing our population and subsidizing the fragments. Did I miss section about substituting certain inefficient or obsolescent businesses by means of the REC? Did I miss criticism of substituting Veteran activities and worthless educational institu- tions? Did I see anything of the stupendous cost and waste of hos~ pital space? In a word, if they sup port Harry Truman, why not say so?
 Socialism is not halfway mea- sure; it is a totality. Wherever 1t has been tried as a half-measure, it has ended in a totality. If, as the Republicans say in this state ment, they are against socialism, why do they straddle the issue?
 Finally, the Republicans have adopted Communist language when they say:
 ". We shall continue to spon- sor legislation to protect the rights of minorities."
 There are no minorities in the American way of life. There are only Americans. This is not coun- try of majorities or minorities; It is country of individuals who pos sess inalienable rights under the Constitution of the United States. Whoever violates those rights Of the individual, vitiates the Con- stitution. That is how it must be considered and acted upon under the American system. We abhor even the word minorities; yet Stall ins first job in the Soviet Gov ernment in 1917 was Commissar of Minority Nationalities.
