His assets: He is personally

He has .indefatigable industry,
tenacity and the kind of forti-

The Democrats will do the more
for him as they realize increas-
ingly how very close they are to
losing power.
His chief lack is the kind of
demonstrated capacity and vis-
ion that carry the doubtful

Democrats think they know bet

But from a supporter came
this warning: you press peo-

But when the votes are counted
on any measure you'll be sur

disappeared. There was some
substance originally to the State
Departments position in reject
ing Chang Kai-sheks offer last
July to send $4,000 men to
Korea. 1t was justified then in
believing that by keeping Mao
Tze-tung's arch-enemy out of
the picture the Chinese Commu-
nists might be persuaded not to
intervene in favor of their fell
low puppets in Korea This was
shown to be false hope, how
ever.
The Formosa government now
has repeated its offer to come
to the United Nations support.
Its strategic plan has found full
Endorsement at supreme head
quarters in Tokyo. There is no
longer any question of sending
Nationalist to Korea. but the
question now is whether to per-
NIT them to land on the main
land of China.
The Nationalist army on For
mosa is composed of two groups.
One. some 10000 strong, is fully
equipped with modern American
war materials. The other, about
100000 strong, is well trained
but lacks tanks and modern ar
tillery. In addition to these reg
ular forces there are about
100000 guerrillas operating in
central and southern China.
The Communist radio at Muk-
den announced on December q
that during the month of No
vember alone the Communist
4th Field Army had destroyed
47,800 bandits, the name given
to the guerrillas. This is an
admission which shows the ex-
tent of underground activities.
To refuse to take advantage
OF the Nationalists' preferred
help at this hour of great need

The usual argument against
authorizing U. N. airmen to
bomb bases in Manchuria is that
this might start World War III.
This means, in effect, that the
U. NJ is being bluffed into in
action by fear. 1t means that
the U. NJ. for all practical pur-
poses. is acknowledging its in
ability to enforce the peace of
the world against aggression.
But is military force the only
means? Surely the hesitation to

continued presence of Russia in
the U. N. affords no advantage
to the family of nations. Like
wise, the continuance of diplo-
matte relations with Moscow it
self does not reflect credit on

Thus, the American Ambassa-
dor to Russia reported recently
that he is virtual prisoner and
cannot move about freely in
Moscow. II that's all the
value that our communication

affords today, the same oppor-

a third term to devote virtually
his whole address to foreign
policy, something unprece-
dented. He spoke as a national
leader, not just as governor.
In so doing, he lost no time in
picking up the gage thrown
down by Herbert Hoover. BY
this same gesture, too, he sang
out his challenge to the out
standing Republican leader in
Congress. Senator Robert A.
Taft of Ohio, who still is identi-
fed, as he has been previously,
with the more nationalist Mid
west wing of the party. Sena-
tor Taft becomes the natural
legatee of whatever sentiment,
in and out of Congress, was
stirred up by Mr.. Hoover. That
has been considerable, at least
for the moment.
How strong this influence is,
and how we'll it may last, remain
to be seen. Already there is un-
easineSS among some Republi-
cans who are saying that per-
hapS Mr.. Hoover was misinter-
preted and maybe he should
clarity his position further.
Senator Taft manifestly has
in his camp a majority of Re-
publicans in Congress. He has
the advantage. too, of his pres
ence there. But, by the same
token. he is more vulnerable
because of that fact. He must
go on record constantly on the
foreign policy issues as they
develop and must bear much
responsibility for the Republic
can attitude in Congress.
Gov. Dewey's chief reliance
will be upon the party rank and
file outside Congress and upon
like-minded leaders, some in
Congress, more outside, whose
views coincide with his. He

Democrats Ready y to Fiqht Back

The unexpected news from
the Democratic caucus is its de-
cision to fight back with unity
and resolution against the Nc
Carthy style of attack from the
Republicans. This is a far cry
from last summer when not
voice was raised in defense of
Secretary of State Acheson.
Senator George of Georgia,
the influential conservative
chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, offered the resolution to
let Senator Butler of Maryland
take his seat but without pref
udice to the Senate's right to
bar him if investigation of his
campaign should warrant it.
Democratic legal experts declare
this could be done by a simple
majority vote.
The George resolution fol-
lowed indignant statements by
Senator's Gillette and Stennis of
the Senate Campaign Investi-
eating Committee that "despic-
able and outrageous" things had
occurred in Mr.. Buffers sue
cessful campaign against Sena-
tor Millard Tydings. Before

The new S2d Congress,
which will be with us for the
next two years, will form the
backdrop for a dramatic bat
tie for control of the Republi-
can Party. The verdict will
come at the party's national
convention year and a half
from now in preparation for the
1852 Presidential election.
The lines were being drawn
as the new Congress assembled
around two outstanding party
figures.
On the one hand, Herbert
Hoover, the only living ex-
President, holding out the SYM
boil of "a Western Hemisphere
Gibraltar of Western Hemis-
phere civilization" which i'm
mediately was tagged as 'isola-
tfonism" not only by Demo
Gratis, including President Tru-
man, but also by many Repub-
licans.
On the other hand, Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey Of New
York, the party's titular leader,
with his counter appeal to de-
velop and strengthen our allies
so that we may not be isolated.
His words should be repeated
ard emphasized to draw the
contrast:
IF our ideals of freedom in
the world did not require it, the
stark necessities of self pres
ervation would demand that
we develop and keep strong,
brave allies. We shall make
united and mighty the forces
of the free world, and swiftly,
OF we shall be soon isolated and
left to die"
Both these leaders are out
side Congress. But the impact
of their conflicting viewpoints
was evident in discussion among
Republican members of the new
Congress in which the party
will have such a strong voice,
much more potent than in the
last Congress.
Gov. Dewey clearly intends to
seize and exercise the leader

wing of his party by utilizing
the forum afforded by the gov
ernors seat at Albany. This was

This would be a drop in the
bucket as far as the expense is
concerned, when we take into
account that, roughly estimated.
the Korean campaign up to the
end of last year cost close to
$12 billion.
There still is time for realistic
action in Washington, although
it is already running short. In
another month it may be much
too late.

Easy To Grow

Baby gladiolus are perfect replicas
of the larger plants. Flowers of
the baby gladiplus grow 12 to is
inches high. These, blossoms are
better for home use in making
bouquets.
While gladiolus will thrive in
most types of fertile soil, sandy
loan is preferable for ease of plant
ing and removing the blubs, which
are called c6rms. A site well pro-
tected from wind helps to keep the
stems erect while in growth. Full

Towering plants. ..
How deep the cornls should oe
planted depends on the kind of
soil. In sandy loam six to seven
inches is not too deep, while in
heavier clay soil about four inches
is plenty. These depths place the
corms where moisture and temper
ature are likely to be most favor
able, and also provide more sup
port for the plants than shallow
paintings.
Eliminate Weeds
While the plants are growing
all weeds should be kept down be-
fore they gain strong foothold.
When the hoe is used, be sure to
hoe very shallow for deep hoeing
will injure the roots.
To favor the development of the
cormS for the next season it is
desirable to cut so as to leave
most of the foliage on the plants.
After the plants die they are
dug, care being taken to save the
small cormels attached to the
mother corms if they are desired
for propagation.
Place the entire plant in a dry,
cool, well-ventilated place for
about two weeks, or until dry. Then
cut off the stems. Remove the old
| exhausted corms from the bases
of the new ones, and clean the cor
mels. Separate cormels for the lar
ger corms. Burn all discarded
material so as not to carry over
any diseases or insects from the
previous year.

Dry air and good ventilation are
necessary for storage. The most
favorable temperature is 40 to SO
degrees F. Keep the separated

If the tubs aren't emptied with
each load, the washing solution
will become heavier with soil,
which will mean that more soil

In unrinsed clothes there is a
higher bacterial count than in

by the American InstituJe OF

Scorching, while ironing un-
rinsed clothes, becomes a problem,
also. Un-rinsed clothes are easier
to scorch because the organic
material left in the clothes has
a tendency to brown easily.
Scorching is not always caused by
a hot iron. It is frequently due
to what is left in the clothes after

NEW YORK. May 26.-The New
York Herald Tribune received to-
day a check for $1.33 endorsed to
the newspaper in 1889 by the late
George Bernard Shaw.
The late dramatist's secretary
Blanche Patch. forwarding the
check to the Herald Tribune,
wrote that she had no idea why
Shaw intended to pay the $1.33
to the newspaper.
The Herald Tribune, after
searching its records. had no idea
either.
There was no record that Shaw
owed the newspapers a $1.33 debt.
But the checks history before
was practically cleared up by his
American attorneys, Stern and
Reubens, who originally made out
the check to Shaw.
The law firm explained it had
handled the American copyright
on Shaw's play, Geneva" had
sent a check to the register of
copyrights, and had got back a
$1.33 refund.
The lawyers then sent their own
check to Shaw for the refund.
