Gov. Earl Warren of Cali

followed Senator Taft of Ohio
to make it two who have an

seeking the Republican presi-
dental nomination.
He is recognized as the No.
I dark horse" for one thing.
For another, which affects his
party as a whole, he becomes
from now on an important fac
tor in its decisions as to candi-
date, platform and direction
from now and up to and through
next July's convention.
This is not only because of
his long practical experience in
State and national politics, but
also, and pointedly. because he
will control a fat bunch of votes
at that convention, CALIFORNIA;
delegation now being second
largest, along with Pennsyl-
vania, to that of New York.
That gives him effective bar

strengthens the voice of the
whole West, for which he is
spokesman, in national party
affairs. He may be expected to
trade shreWdly.
AS to his own chances for
the nomination. they would
seem to depend, viewed this far
ahead, on the possibility of a
deadlock between Senator Taft
and Gen. Eisenhower. That
might happen. Certainly there
has not been seen in a long
time such intense activity so
early on behalf of rival candi-
dates as that now by the Taft
and Eisenhower promoters.
Each camp is in deadly earnest.
and they seem headed for a
collision at the convention.
This early activity by the two
admittedly leading candidates
prompted Gov. Warren's formal
announcement earlier than had
been expected. After all, it does
not hurt for dark horse" to
show off his PAGES. too.
AS between Senator Taft and
Gen. Eisenhower, it is known
that Gov. Warren would pre-
fer the latter. He is strictly
anti-Taft in viewpoint and
philosophy, though. on the
other hand, he has exhibited
no great enthusiasm for the
general. He sidetracked deftly a

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING?

Perennial issue for the last eighteen years is the question of centralized Federal government. Every one of us is aware his personal experience that the activities of the Federal government have expanded in recent years until they touch the life of almost every individual Your tax bill is fair 1ndl- iation of the growth of Federal activity - growth that interferes increasingly with your right as a citizen to spend your earnings you see fit
 Congressman Wesley DEwart of Montana points out that one the ways the Federal government uses to increase its power is the myriad of grants and payments to states and individuals. These programs are Jumped under the Federal Aid Best selling point is the iusory premise that the state or lndl- vidual is getting something for nothing
 vidual is getting something for nothing.
 the hard way When we offered something Tor nothing it is prudent to look for the joker. When the Federal government proposes to give us some thing for nothing we may be sure that we will pay for it. not only in increased taxes but by sacrifices in varying degree, of individual freedoms and of the authority and integrity of our local governments And these are our brthright as Americans
 Congressman DEwart noted that Montanans paid se1 coo GOO in direct federal during the fiscal year 1850 Federal grants in aid to the citizens and state of Montana amounted to $33000O0O In other words Montanans paid nearly three dollars for every gift" dollar they received The same ratio prevails in the rest of the states

Churchill May
 Talk Wifh Truman On Atomic Energy

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29- IR = Prime Minister Churchill probably will urge a greater exchange of att omic information between the Un- ited States and Britain during his far-reaching conference with Pre- sident Truman.
 Atomic energy is among the dozen topics he has told the American gov ernment he wants to take up in the course of his visit here, starting late next week.
 Both Britain and Canada, with which the US had partnership in atomic bomb development during the war, have long felt tight Amer ican restrictions on atomic secrets were hampering developments in that field.
 Any change in these restrictions, however, would require not only ap- proval by the President but action by Congress. Whether either of these conditions will be met in the practicable future is something on which informed officials here will not even speculate.

GRUNEWALD'S PAST

"The office of the Custodian has investigated Mf Grunew d" Crowley's office stated on Aug. 25, '42. and because of the nature of the work to be performed by this man for the custodian, it is re- ouested that the Civil Service Commission refrain from making any investigation of MT. Grune- wald. His record is entirely satis- factory to the custodian"
 Perhaps what Crowley wanted to cover up was Grurewald's record as a government prohibition ag- ent. This showed he was denoted from $4,O0O to $1,800 year on January 12, 1922, and finally was kicked out of the government on October 3, 1922, after being in- dicted by New York Grand Jury in connection with the illegal re- moval and disposition of liquor"
 Later, in job application, Grunewald gave this version of his indictment: Tn October, 1922, while I was a general agent as- signed to the New York prohibition office, I was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury in the Southern Dist rict of New York for conspiracy to violate the federal prohibition law. The indictment named number of individuals, including MT. Ros- we'll 4. Saver and myself. The case against me was dismissed af- tsr Q verdict was indicated to the jury by Federal Judge Winslow.
 50 Years an Alien
 "In fairness to myself" Grune- wald explained, T believe that l should add that the whole indict- nent was a move in political battle raging in New York at that time, and the prohibition unit was simply a pawn"
 Here are some more things which the systery man might have told the King Committee but didn't:
 GruneWald was born May l9, 1892. at Port Elizabeth, South Af- rica, but neglected to become nat uralized as an American citizen until February 3, l942. This was two months after Pearl Harbor and after he went to work for the Alien Property custodian.
 For years, as an alien, Grune- wald worked for various branches of the government He served in the U. s. Navy from 1909 to 1914, worked as a desk clerk at the Naval Young Mems Christian Association in Brooklyn, got a job in 1914 as a bookkeeper for Western Electric in New York City.
 His first job as an investigator came in 1917, when he secured a temporary appointment with the old FBI. In 1919, he served as con- fidential investigator for the Re-

publican National Committee at S6 GOO. In 1921 he got a $4,000-a- year job with the Commissioner of Prohibition which, ironically, came under the Internal Revenue Bureau. It was his relations with ex-commissioner Schoeneman and ex-counsel Oliphant of Internal Revenue which recently brought Grunewald into the limelight.
 Grunewald has also developed some interesting contacts in the liquor business, and as late as 1944 he was under investigation by the alcohol tax unit for alleged black marketing in liquor.
 Grunewald also spent from 1928 to 1942 as a personal, confidential investigator for Henry w. Marsh, the insurance mogul, at a stated salary of $12,000 to $18,000.
 Note-In his tax returns Grune- wald does not give the source of large chunks of income. This col umn is still mystified how, from such relative modest salary and background, he was able to oper- ate two homes, three limousines and developed so many high con-

 Politics. by it's very nature is series of com promises. Individuals and groups of individuals seeking political leadership, advocate certain prn- ciples and certain codes of action. These must be altered time and again, must be shifted, expanded and often completely reversed-in order to gain popu lar support There's nothing wrong about such a system. It's really a sitting process employed by democracies aiming at evolving the best possible type of government.
 Most of Americas political difficulties at the moment can be traced to the fact that in the last decade we haven't been allowed to change to compromise if you please. Our leaders in Washing ton have set course and we've been virtually forced to follow it. Entrenched behind a powerful machine, these politicians have become arrogant, thoughtless of the national good blind to the damage they're doing It's the same old story repeated a thousand times in the worlds history. Too much power extended too long time, reacts against the interests of the majority.
 Most Americans have realized their plight for several years and through several administrations. But the situation has been quite so obvious is today, with all sorts of asninity in govel nment hghlighted by glaring lack of basic morality. Never was there time when change more desperately needed

 To attract the votes necessary for this vital victory, the COP must fight against the odds Of a wealthy deeply entrenched and highly skilled political organization The only way to beat it is by presenting to the people of the United States attractive and feasible program of reform, under leadership which has been proved honest. capable and farsighted This will demand some compromise within the Republican party itself certain realgnments of loyalties the abandonment of petty ealouses and feuds the estab lishment of hard, central of cooperative effort against common danger.
 Such prediction work already is in progress. It doubtless will continue until satisfactory adjust ments are reached. Certainly it would be tragic if, at this great moment the future of the nation would be ieopardzed by ntraparty failure. united front, under an enlightened banner, will insure victory. Most Americans are praying that the Grand Old Party will achieve it.

 The Reds wanted the United Nations forces to withdraw as much as Is miles. Their proposal countered yesterdays JUN. sug- gestion for a buffer zone general ly along present battle lines.

 The communists made no men ton of their previous demands for a demarcation line along the 38th parallel. Apparently they have abandoned the idea.
 Under the Red proposal, they would keep Kaesong, former site of truce talks 25 miles south of the 38th parallel. They would withdraw from part of Ongrin Peninsula on the west coast, an area the Allies described as mili- tarily unimportant.
 It appeared the two delegations were entering a period of horse trading.
 But the LIN. spokesman, Brig. Gen. Vim. P. Nuchols discounted the idea there would be any large scale bargaining.

Weather Postpones Second Atomic Test

LAS VEGAS, New, (P ~- A scheduled atomic bomb drop was called off today with planes in the air, presumably ready to loose their nuclear weapons.
 The AEC said storm conditions over the big testing range north west of here failed to improve as rapidly as had been expected.
 The AEC had scheduled the second of a series of tests here after rains and high winds sub sided last night. But officials felt today conditions still were too un- stable to risk the possibility of atomic radiation being carried over Las Vegas and other popu- lated areas. Las Vegas is 75 miles away.
 The AEC said no troops were to be involved in today's test.
