Curtain Raiser for New Show
Irumons Speech Is Advance Billing for Senate Inquiry
Into Campaign Expenses of Oho's Last Election

ator Taft headed the State
ticket. That makes a total of
s2,090,000 officially acknowl-
edged on both sides of their
State tickets. which also in
cluded candidates for Governor
and other State Offices. 1t is
generally recognized that the
bulk Of it went for the senatorial
campaigns.
Though this probably does
not represent the total amounts
spent, which undoubtedly was
larger, yet that figure makes it
the second most expensive State
election in our history so far
as public records go. 1t may
have been the most expensive
if all the facts were known.
Each side has challenged the
expenditures figure of the other
as being too low.
Tops so far is the 1926 Penn
sylvania Republican Senatorial
primary in which over S3,000,-
900 in expenditures were &C.
counted for on behalf of three
candidates. William S. Ware, the
winner, for whom some $780,
600 was spent, was later denied
his seat in the Senate because
OF excessive campaign expendi-
lures. The Senate of that day
thought that too high a price
for a seat.
In their investigation in Ohio,
the Senate Committee staff did
not go beyond official reports in
collecting their data. Such re-
ports by official committees
have been found short of the
real amounts in the past, which
reflects a weakness in existing
statutes covering campaign
funds.
The aim of tn. Senate Com
mittee, headed by Senator Gill
lette, Democrat, of Iowa, is to
recommend changes in existing
law on the basis of its investi-
cation in order to reduce the
rapidly mounting costs of cleo
lions which, as Senator Gil
lette said recently, are making
it increasingly difficult for men
OF average means, who don't
want to compromise themselves
through big campaign dona-
tons, to run for the United
States Senate.
Senator Taft and Mr.. Fergu-
son will be the first witnesses at
the public hearings beginning
next Monday in which a num-
Der of others who helped to di-
rect the Ohio campaign on both
sides will also appear, including
representatives of organized la

tributed to Mr.. Ferguson's cam

The potential rivalry of an
other Kentuckian is a matter
which administration circles
shy away from but it is never
theleSS real. Vice President
Barley sees no reason at all
why he should not be renomin-
ated in 1852 if Mr.. Truman is,
despite the fact that he will
celebrate his 74th birthday next
Saturday. Furthermore, If Mr..
Truman decides not to run, Mr..
Barley still sees himself in the
1852 picture for first or second
place.
This is extremely awkward
for friends of both 1.-The Chief"
and "the Weep" a group that
includes practically every DEM
ocrat who is anybody in the
party.
The party has plenty Of
presidential material In its
more junior ranks but they will
all risk running afoul of the
elder statesmen if they try to
step out now. The President
has already made it clear that
he wants no part Of them: the
Vice President would hardly
take their efforts more kindly.
All they can do Is stand and
wait.

David Lowrence:

President Truman has un-
folded a bit of political strategy
that may mislead the Repub-
Icans into taking the very step
he seemingly doesn't want them
to take-to make foreign policy
the issue in the next campaign.
Mr.. Truman told the Women's
National Democratic Club that
he hoped the Republicans
wouldn't make foreign policy "a
partisan political issue" in the
coming presidential campaign
but that. if they do, it will be
met and that cit will be the best
issue the Democratic Party has"
What was the Presidents
purpose in devoting so much
of his speech to a warning to
Republicans? It is most I'M
usual this early in the pre-
election campaign to find the
head Of the administration in
power giving advice to political
opponents on what the issues
should or shouldn't be. The an

The United Nations was Gre

such as have arisen recently

tons between the two nations
it should be the task Of the
United Nations to take a hand
and bring about an understand

the U. N. some observers main
tanned that this was all right
as long as two minor countries
were involved. But they ex-
pressed grave doubts that the
U. N. could be very effective in
the case Of a conflict between
a great and a small power.
These observers were described
as cynics who did not realize
that we were living in a new
era. Unfortunately this has
been the situation in the last
few years.
The U. S. S. r. has established
a record of vetoes in the Secur-

sidered by the Kremlin as con-
trary to its interests were
brought before that body. West

brought up in 1850 and the
Soviets. they said. committed
the blunder of boycotting the
U. N. at a time when they could
have prevented the intervention

They apparently were mistaken.

attitude, wanted to let us get

Constantine Brown:

The representatives Of the
great powers gathered at the
Palais de Chaillot in Paris are
churning water to make butter.
There is a great flow Of oratory
and many sound suggestions for
a limitation of arms which
might ease the present inter-
national tension. But Comrade
Vishinsky and his aides are tax
ing good care that all these
ideas remain only pious wishes.
The Soviet representative
comedies reluctantly that peace
is a two-way street. but insists
that only the Russian side is
paved with peaceful purposes.
Our own. he says, is too clut-
tered with guns, tanks and es-
pecially atomic bombs. to be Of
any use. The Soviet foreign
minister Is at Paris to see that
nothing is done to interfere with
his country's plans for world
domination. And being mas
ter at sabotage he is sure that
nothing but trouble and con-
fusion will result from these
meetings Of the General Assem-
bly, Of the United Nations.
The Soviet top diplomat also
relies on what he calls the lack
of political discipline in the
Allied camp. Russia has no
allies-only puppets whom it is
ruling with the whip. The West
ern nations are attempting to
handle the present problems in
a democratic manner and have
their own ideas and wishes
about the existing problems.
The governments Of the free
nations do not attempt to black
jack each other to have their
policies accepted.

could restore tranquility to the

seems certain that he would en-
brace many of the foreign pol
icy proposals and activities Of
the Truman administration.
But if Senator Taft is the
Republican nominee, foreign
policy is certain to be an issue
anyway. In his much-discussed
book, just out, the Ohio Sena-
tor analyses the Truman policy
and minces no words in speak
ing out against certain acts of
the administration in the inter-
national political and economic
fields.
What it amounts to, there
fore, is a warning to the Repub-
licans that. if they nominate
Taft and he makes foreign pol
icy an issue, the Democrats will
rejoice because they feel that
on foreign policy they can split
the Republican Party and in
sure the votes of enough indie
pendents to win the election for
the Democratic Party nominee.
There are Republican STRAIT
egistS, on the other hand, who
think Mr.. Truman was quite
right in referring in his speech
to the 1920 campaign. because
at that time there was such a
revulsion of feeling against
World War I and it's irritations
on the economic side that the
Republicans won in a landslide
with an Ohio Senator. Warren
Harding, a colorless candidate,
as the nominee.
In many respects the Re-
publicanS who want to make
foreign policy an issue next
year think that it is bound to
win for them because of the I'M
popularity of the Korean war.

ministration's failure to keep
China from falling into the
hands Of the Communists.
The speech. Notwithstanding
its gibes at the Republican
Party, is on the whole defensive
in spirit. The Presidents plain
tive prediction that the Repub-
licans will have enormous
slush funds" is intended as a
sort of anticipatory rebuttal to
the cry of the Republicans that
it will be difficult for them "to
beat IS billions" OF Government
spending.
Mr.. Truman has tried to con-
ceal his intentions as to his own
possible candidacy. His exact
words will bear examination:
I'm not going to make any an
nouncement about who the can
didate will be, although I do
have some ideas on the sub
ject."
1t might be asked how any
one can announce" who the
candidate will be" unless he
is President himself and in con-
troll of the party machinery.
1t could mean he will dictate
the choice. and it could mean
that some ideas on the sub
ject" means he will some day
come out in favor of his own
selection-but the faithful Of
ficeholders here think he in
tends to run himself. Still the
phrasing Of the whole speech is
more objective than any of the
speeches Mr.. Truman used to
make prior to the 1948 contest,
and his emphasis on the party
and his lack of detailed defense
of his own record in Office. par
ticularly on domestic issues, is
significant. Politically speaking,
it was a good speech for his
side.

Nobody but the blind will re-
fuse to appreciate the real
dangers of the conflict between
Britain and Egypt. 1t transcends
by far the strategic importance
of the Suez Canals defense by
British troops. There Is no
doubt that the Egyptian gov.

the situation and looks with
suspicion at the "disinterested"
help offered by the Kremlin.

however, in a position to accept
a compromise if it provided ade-
quate face-saving-that is to say
a compromise based on Britain's
declaration that it will withdraw

iSh government with its shaky
majority in Parliament is not
willing to risk vote of nom
confidence in Commons. But
both parties could accept an
agreement if the United Nations
so directed. Yet the Egyptian
question is not being debated at
present by that organization In
spite Of the awareness Of its
members that it may be even
more pressing than the useless
oratory about limitation Of

Democrats Begin to Realize If Truman Doesn't Run
Thot Their Condidote troubles VIII Beain

Democrats are just COM
mencing to realize that if Presi-
dent Truman does not run for
reelection. as the weight Of
evidence now indicates, their
candidate troubles will begin.
1t is stated generally in
White House circles that the
Presidents choice of a success
sor is his intimate adviser, the
Chief Justice of the United
States. Mr.. Vinson. Now that
this tidbit seems destined for
transformation from interest
ing conversation to a concrete
possibility. a number of hard
facts are intruding into the
picture.
One is that the Chief Justice,
IN safe and honored haven after
a long experience of the po-
litical and financial insecure
ties of public life, has given
no recent signs of wanting to
hoist his sail for another risky
voyage on the sea of popular
favor. 1t is always difficult for
Washington, which sees so
closely the immense power,
prestige and perquisites of the
Presidency, to believe a chance
at them can be rejected. But
the Chief Justice certainly has
the next best job-and for life.

CHILDS TO AUTHOR BOOK
on REA cO-OPS

Washington, D.C.-CNS-A book
on the history of rural electric coop
eratives will be released this fall by
Doubleday & Co., New York. Author
of the work is Marquis Childs, noted
newspaper columnist and author of
best sellers, who has just signed a
contract with the publishers.
Childs reports that the book will
deal with the dramatic farming revo-
luton brought about by the rural
electrification program during the
short span of less than two decades.
He is visiting many regions of the
country to pick up first-hand infor-
nation.
The University of Missouri recent
ly honored Childs with the disting-
uished service award in journalism
for his presentation of controversial
matter and his discussions of national
and international affairs. He has
also received the Sigma Delta Chi
award for Sustained insight in ma
tional affairs, firsthand reporting
and effective writing"
Having grown up with the United
Press. he served for several years as
feature writer of the St. Louis Post
Dispatch. In 1886 he wrote "Swe-
den: The Middle Way" which dealt
with the cooperative movement in
that country and its effect on produc-
ton, distribution and consumption of
goods. 1t became a best seller and
prompted the government to send a
special delegation abroad to study
the cooperative movement in Europe.
