Lowell MeHett:

The principal task confront
ing Adlai Stevenson in his cam
paign for the presidency is that
of establishing his character
and personality in the minds Of
the American people. He needs
to be better known.
The principal task confronting
Dwight Eisenhower is the pro-
tection-or perhaps the word is
restoration - of the character
and personality that caused him
to be considered for the Office
in the first place. This may be
the more difficult undertaking
of the two. It may. indeed, be
impossible. The Eisenhower
that both parties seemed ready
to nominate four years ago may
have been irretrievably lost in
the Eisenhower who had to
scramble desperately to obtain
the nomination of one party
this year and is forced now to
scramble like any other candi-
date in an effort to win the Of
fee.
The Ike the American people
had come to like was more than
q great military leader and war
hero. He was a friendly, intel
ligent, fair-minded man, appar-
emily competent to do anything
he was given to do. He was
above the sordid practices of
politics. Honest with himself
as well as with others. he was
first to disclaim any particular
qualifications for a political
career. In this he failed to
convince the people and the
politicians. The tragedy of his
life may prove to be that he also
failed to convince himself.
For now people are. beginning
to find fault with him. begin
ming to suspect their hero has
feet of clay. And the politicians
Of his own party are finding
even more fault with him-sus-
pecting that he does not have
enough clay in his feet. He has
given In to them on one thing
!, and another. said some things

David Lowrence:

Gov. Stevenson declares. that
I'VE must take care not to burn
down the barn to kill the rats"
but he overlooked the realistic
fact that, when the barn is set
af1re by the rats" it is impera-
tive to call the fire-fighting ap-
paratus Immediately instead Of
letting the barn burn.
The record of the State De-
partment and the administra-
ton in failing promptly to ferret
out the rats" is written in the
official reports Of congressional
committees and in the files of
the loyalty boards Of the Gov
ernment itself.
Neither the Democratic nor
the Republican nominee for the
presidency came to grips with
the question Of Communists in
Government when each candi-
date addressed the American
Legion convention. Both Of
them seem to have been i'm
pressed by the "left-wing" drive
to smother talk of the Commu-
mist mess in Washington with a
lot of righteous indignation
about damage to innocent men.
Neither speaker showed that he
knew what the real issue is in
Washington.
Thus, Gen. Eisenhower said:
Especially let us be watchful
for those who by stealth attempt
Subversion and reasonable be-
trayal in Government. At the
same time let us hew sharply
to the fundamental American
principle that every man is in
nucent until he is proved guilty"
Yet, though this may come as
a surprise to many readers. it
happens that the rule in effect
by order of President Truman
as to loyalty and security inside
the Government is the exact
opposite. because proof" isn't
always possible. The rule inside
the Government. therefore. diff
fers from court procedure in
that it is not necessary to prove
any one guilty of either treason
or disloyalty or of having done
anything injurious to the secu-
rity of the United States. 1t is
only necessary for a loyalty
board to find, as Chairman
Hiram w. Bingham Of the
Presidents loyalty review board
stated recently. that there is
reasonable doubt of loyalty"

cepts as "the purpose Of our
power must never be lost in
the fact Of our power" It is not
easy to raise mass cheers for
such points; he accomplished 1t
several times.
The lesson is an old one. It
Is not necessary to talk down
to the American people. They
are not all genuises, but they
understand the language and
will give an honest man room
to tell the truth as he sees it.
In a graceful, almost humble,
acknowledgment of the Legion's
courtesy, Gov. Stevenson con-
cluded by expressing the hope
he had not "trespassed against
them"
The Democratic nominee tried
a bold experiment in Madison
Square Garden. He talked to a
big mass audience as plainly
and courageously as he would
try to explain where he stood to
a single member of that audi
ence in his own Office or even
living room. He can do it, Of
course, because he is so articu-
late. and because he speaks
strictly American.
Gov. Stevenson is as economi-
cal with long words as he Is
said to be with his money. He
puts his short words into brief

time in October. A new govern
ment will take over, with the
usual delay in finding a man to
accept the task. The new gov
eminent will have to start from
scratch and in the meantime the
matter of rearmament will be
left in allegiance.
The Pinay government has
already laid the foundation for
explaining Frances delay in
complying with the Lisbon COM
mitments. The Premier Is on
record as having asked the
United States for a substantial
increase in Americas contribu-
ton to the offshore program
whereby French industries are
given orders to build NATO ar
maments. After he goes. the
new government will raise this
question again. And because
Washington cannot commit
Congress for appropriations over
a three-year period, as de-
manded by France. French mil
itary preparedness will continue
at the present slow rate.
Behind these maneuvers-
which exist, incidentally, In
most Western European coun-
tries which belong to NATO-
there is the growing conviction
that America has become hys-
terical over the Communist
bugaboo" and that it would be
useless to disturb the compla-
cency Of West European peoples
by intenSifying rearmament.
This conviction also explains the
rapid growth Of the neutralist
movement which propounds the
theory that the present conflict
Is exclusively one between
America and Russia and that
Western Europe. unless her
leaders are careful, may be un-
necessarily dragged into it.,
Some European politicians 60
so far as to intimate that tho
present conflict is all Americas
fault and that Gen. Eisen-
hower'S election will only in
crease the gulf between the two
large military powers.

Ike Receiving Some Bad Advice
Discouraged Bockers Who Want Him to Get Rough
Could Cause Him to Lose Character People Love

If the get-rough element In
the Eisenhower camp succeed
in having their way they may
have a good deal to answer to
before the year is out. They
may not only lose an election.
They may destroy an, American
hero. And no people likes to

The Jackie Jensen-Bucky Harris

Since they opened headquarters at

there isn't too much left over, &C.
cording to my calculations. But
they live well, though modestly
and their home is nicely furnished
in keeping with their sense of mod
Grafton.
(Some defense workers in north.
ern Norway earn as much as Z
crowns an hour, which is good. I
was told that $500 kroner, close
to $4,000, is an ideal income, be-
cause one gets more. for his money
with that income, roughly 60 ore
for each crown 600 ore to a
crown, of course). On a 10000
crowns-a-year income, one is sup
posed to get 20 ore for a crown,
that is what's left over after
taXes.)
Private Housing Expensive
Later, however, 1 discovered a
few bitches in my Sverre Hansen
survey. From an authoritative
source-I interviewed the distin-
guished journalist Torleif Opstad
of Verdens Gang, one of the most
widely read Oslo newspapers
started originally by the under
ground during World War II. I
gathered that the Hansens were
indeed fortunate people. The apart
ment house in which they lived
was a private one. Ordinarily the
rent in such a private structure
for equal number of rooms, is $50
crowns a month, while Hansen's
rent was less than half of that,
due to some special circumstances.
In addition, there was the "in-
skudd" (Which amounts to pur-
chasing the apartment in ques-
tom; is said to be as high as
$4,000 crowns for private quar-
tiers, while the Hansens only paid
half of that.

Then add the Unreasonable need
for getting production back into
full swing after the war, tn e
most important prerequisite of all.
And the limited capacity of little
over three million people to pay
for it in cash and toll and taxes.
It takes time.
In the meantime Norwegians are
doing we'll; many say living stand
ards are better than before the
war. The people look and get
along as well as Americans, as
far as measure of prosperity is
concerned. Time is one their side
in almost every respect.

ternoon. And it's a problem to get
school teachers to Oslo because
they prefer the country where they
can get better living quarters
easier.
War Destruction Important
What, then, are the causes of
all this? Certainly they are many
and confusing, just as the war
and occupation wrought untold
havoc, causing, for instance, the
loss of buildings valued at $780,

two action-packed weeks. The
Russians turned out to be just fair
in the major events of the Olym-
pics, track and swimming, and
all-powerful in such events as
gymnastics and wrestling.
That strength in minor events
was so great that the Soviets led
the unofficial team competition
right down to the very last big
day, when aroused American ath-
letes reeled off 10 points to de-
fend successfully the crown they
won in 1913 at London.
According to the generally ac-
cepted (but unofficiaD system of
scoring points, 10, 5, 4, 8, 2. 1,
for the first six finishers in each
event, the Yanks won the title by
GA points to 553h for Russia.
The Soviets had different scoring
system-alloting only seven points
for first place, a move that cut
down U. S. points. But even by
that system the us. won, 494 to
446la.
Amazing Show
The Americans won 40 first
place gold medals, Is of them in
track and field, compared to 81
in the 1913 games. Russia won
% gold medals.
But it would not be correct to
say that the games were a COM
plete disappointment to the Rus
slams, although they tore down the
scoreboard in their camp when
the us. went ahead and although
Moscow radio failed to mention
points at all.
However, the Soviets had put on
an amazing show for a nation ap-
pearing in the games for the first
time in 40 years. They dominated
wrestling, both freestyle and Gre
co-Roman, both mems and wom-
ems gymnastics, and women's
track and field. Their basketball
team was beaten only by the AM
orleans, 1925 in the finals. They
nearly won the overall team title,
and they showed they have a fine
canoe to take that in the 1856
Olympics at Melbourne, Australia.

In Young Couples Home
Let us step inside the home of
a young married Norwegian couple
in an Oslo suburb-the housing
trend is toward well-planned sub
urbs in Scandinavia as in America

eral picture. This couple, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sverre Hansen with a little
daughter, are fairly well off, above
the average, although l am told
an average Norwegian couple with
similar income could not afford
to live in their apartment, which is
in a brand new apartment house,
three stories high and as modern
as they come in Norway. The Han
sens have a fairly large living
room. a roomy enough kitchen,
plus two bedrooms and a bath
room. Their rent is ITO crowns

amounted to $40 kroner (crowns).
The water bill need not concern us
much and electricity is cheap in
Norway.

The Hansens said their family of
three could live (eat) good on 300
crowns month. They considered
an income of S,O6O-9 900 kroner a
year an average and Reasonably
