On the Stump

With Stumping time Just around
the corner, the voters are beginning
to get acquainted with the men who
will vie for their favor. OF the two
principals, Adlai Stevenson is recog-
nized as the more fluent Tor glib,
depending on where ones sympa-
thieS lie). He has a masterful flair
for turning a phrase, and delivers
his polished addresses with such
cool good humor that his audiences
applaud even when they are being
scolded. This happened last week
at the Legion convention when
Stevenson said, "And I should tell
you, as I would tell all other or
ganized groups, that I intend to
resist pressures from veterans also.
I intend to resist them if l think
their demands are excessive or in
conflict with the public interest,
which must always be the para
mount interest"
1t Is characteristic of Stevenson
that he should have dipped into the
epigrams of DR.. Johnson to label
Joe McCarthy's type of patriotism
"the last refuge of scoundrels."
Not So Polished
Eisenhower admittedly is not the
man with script that Stevenson
is. He proved this first at Abilene,
Kans., in his initial appearance in
politics. He has proved it anew on
a number of occasions-the latest
at the Legion convention when his
teleprompter got stuck. The gen.
eral probably Is at his best at press
conferences and other unrehearsed
Q. and A. sessions. These, unfor-
tunately, are not adaptable to po-
litical mass meetings. He is ac-
claimed by some as an able
impromptu speaker. But the cat
was let out Of the bag last week
by Eisenhower's top press agent,
Jim Haggerty, who said that when
the prompter got out of kilter at
the Legion convention, the general
had to rely on his memory-"and
that's even worse than talking of
the cuff"
On the vice presidential level
the coin seems to be reversed. Dick
Nixon of California is a better ora
tor than John Sparkman Of Ala
bama. Too, the English he speaks
is closer to standard American than
the pronounced Dixie drawl of the
Democrat.

Review Of the Week. Candidates Near Kickoff Time

NEORE AND MORE, it was look
1V1 ing like a repeat on the Ezra
of Good Feeling" that fantastic
period in the early 10th century
when the Nation was practically
united on issues but sharply divided
on personalities. AS time went on,
the crucial question to be asked the
voters in November seemed not so
much whether they approved the
Democratic or the Republican plat
forms as whether they liked Ike or
Adlai.
All that has gone on up to now
has been prologue. The campaigns
open in earnest this week. Repub-
lican Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
heads South on Tuesday, then back
to the Midwest and North. Demo-
cratic Gov. Stevenson leaves Denver
on Friday for swing through the
rich Pacific Coast States. Between
them they will cover something like
$4,000 miles on these initial trips,
disseminating their sometimes
disparate sometimes astonishingly
parallel views.
And this is only the beginning.
BY plane, train and car, the two
candidates and their running
mates - Senators Nixon of Cali
fornia and Sparkman of Alabama
will stump the country almost
continuously in the ensuing GA days
before election. Nor will personal
appearances be the only order Of
the day. The Democrats have a
war chest of SIS million for televi-
sion time. The Republicans have
laid aside 81 million for the same
purpose. All this time and effort
and money will be aimed at getting
the voter to make up his mind.

Time for Change

Everybody, with the possible ex-
ception of Harry S. Truman, agrees
that it is time for change. The
question now is how much change.
The Republicans are saying that
Washington is crook ridden,
fouled-up abomination, an Augean
stables that cannot be cleaned
without the river of Republicanism
being diverted through it. The
Democrats assert that with the firm
hand Of. Adlai Stevenson at the
helm, the Ship of State will sail on
calmly and triumphantly.
"Oh, yeh?" say the Republicans,
"and what about Adlai and his
horsemeat scandals in Illinois?"
"And what about chicken in every
pot and hobo in every freight
carp" the Democrats rejoin. From
this point on to you're one; you're
another" is, admittedly, not a very
long step.
And that, today, Is about where
the Republicans and Democrats
stand. Both candidates have an
nounced their intention to stick to
the middle of the road and avoid
personalities. But already Gov. Ste
venson is beginning to refer sig
nificantly to his opponent as "the
general" Only about a week ago
Dick Nixon took Stevenson person.

AS last week wore on, some new

DeuIs in Iron

One Of the Big Seven oil COM
panies, Anglo-Iranian, owned the
oil concession for the entire coun-
try of Iran. A majority of the stock
of the company is owned by the
British government. About a year
ago Iran, in an argument over roy
alties, threw out the company and
took over its $1.5-billion properties.
None of the Big Seven offered to
step in and dicker for the lost con-
cession. The technically unframed
Iranians couldn't do the job, and
the industry laid idle and rusting
while Iran, which was largely sup
ported by oil, slid toward bank
ruptcy and probably toward Com
muniSm.
Yesterday it looked as if there
might be break in the dangerous
stalemate. Personal messages from
President Truman and Prime Min
lister Churchill were handed to Iran
Premier Mossadegh. It was a joint
compromise proposal for settlement
Of the dispute. The proposal was
this: Submit the British claim of
payment for the seized industry to
the World Court; appoint repre-
sentatives Of Iran and of Anglo
Tranian Oil Co. to arrange for
resumption of production.
If Iran had accepted. the United
States would have given Iran $40
million to ease the financial crisis,
and Britain would have relaxed the
virtual blockade it has imposed on
ranian oil.
Mossadegh, however, rejected the
proposal. But the joint offer still
could be the basis for further nego-
tiations that could lead to a SETTLE
ment. As Britain and the United
States were anxious to keep Iran
from bankruptcy and communism,
it seemed likely they would be will
ing to make attractive concessions.

- there was herculean struggle
between the giants of the interna-

billion-dollar pools of oil known
to lie under Middle East wastelands.
When the oilmen found they were
wasting their fortunes fighting
each other, they made agreements
which would bring peace to the in

Wagner and sorority are in

But to make this mass of sound

This was not the case last

in the overture to the Flying

the sensitiveness with which the
