also more respectable. But some
body else is here, too, from the
South. a noisy mob of revolters
from four States, a new genera

their Southern communities.
They are protesting angrily at
the ancient, feudal. closed cor

publicanism in the South which
has been associated with Sen
ator Taft as it was notably with
his father way back in 1912
when it won William Howard
Taft denomination and split the
Republican Party wide open, as
you have been reminded SO often
in the last few days.
These rebellious Southern Re-
publicans seized upon Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower as their
champion to open the Republic
can Party to the people in the
South and free them from the
white slavery Of the bosses.
The general has responded
eagerly.
When he came roaring into
this city his first words when he
could quiet the great throng at
the station were:
''My Friends" =.
That was very reminiscent Of
another f1gure-in another party
who also rallied the people
against the bosses and made the
professional politicians the
agents instead Of the rulers Of
the people and so, as we know,
Franklin D. Roosevelt was elect
ed four times, "again and
again" Gen. Eisenhower en-

role as the peoples friend

The national committee and its
many lame ducks whose only
chance Of public preferment
now rests with Senator Taft is
bulling ahead. If the delegates
decide to bull ahead with them,
Senator Taft will be nominated.
What they have to remember is
that the candidate they nomi-
nate must also stand for elec-

It has been a very long time
since a candidate in either party
was lucky. enough to enter a
convention with any issue, much
less a moral issue. not to men,

Ike looks lucky. The Repub-

Gen. Eisenhower Looks | Luckv
g. O. P. Bigwes Can Stop Him With Mark Hanna Tactics
But Only at the Risk of Losing Votes in Election

CHICAGO, July This con-
vention is the Kinsey report on
American politics.
What the politicians are doing
here speaks so loud, people can
not hear what they are saying.
However desirable this may ap-
pear to the public, the politi-
clans hate it; they are stuck
with it by . combination Of
circumstances, few Of which
could have been foreseen or
prevented.
The field Of college athletics
is perhaps best suited to sympa-
thize with the politicos. The
West Point scandals blew the
lid OF a situation all interested
parties understood but did not
care to discuss. The lid being
of, a Kinsey-style report on
college athletics was inevitable.
What is on trial here at Chi
cago is the system under which
Republicans Of the South in
fiuence the nomination Of a
candidate they cannot possibly
hope to help elect. There are a
great many Jokes here about
Mckinley Republicans; it hap
pens to be b fact that McKin-
ley's Warwick, Mark Hanna, de-
vised the system in 1895 whose
inescapable and essential fraud
the Eisenhower Republicans Of
the South are now exposing.
Like all inspired notions.
Hannais gimmick was essentially
simple. Republicans Of the
South get convention delegates
according to the population OF
their respective States. Any
connection with the election is
purely coincidental. Republi-
can candidates for President
have carried Southern States
only when Democrats obliged
them by nominating a Catholic
Al Smith in 1928.
The result has been that

1icans and wait for the sun to
shine on q Republican President
elected outside the South.
Meanwhile. they are available
for courting by ambitious Re-
publican candidates. Should
Federal patronage become avail
able there were fewer to share it.
The general quality Of leader
ship developed under this sys-
tenn has been described by one
wit as follows: 1.-THE only legal
buying and selling Of human
flesh permissible under United
States laws has been the buying
and selling of Southern dele
gates to the Republican national
convention"
When Senator Robert A. Taft
decided that 1852 was now or
never, he plunged with his usual
wholeheartedness into the trade.
There has been no questioning
of Taft integrity. Whatever
his other faults, it was deemed
that Bob Taft stood above ordi-
nary. sordid politics; Taft was
honest: Taft didn't do the dirty

CHICAGO. July livery
body here is asking everybody
else who is going to be nomi-
nated-and the odd part Of it
is that nobody, not even Taft
or Eisenhower, really knows the
answer.
For the nomination isn't in
the bag for any candidate, and
it win not be known just what
the trend is until after the first
ballot has been taken. The
candidates and their managers
are trying to exude confidence
and optimism. but the bald
truth is they are scared Of one
another-afraid the other fell
low Is going to win.
The delegates themselves are
bewildered. It's q good deal like
a tie score in the ninth inning

more intense now, and there's
a lot Of hoopla and noise as the
climax approaches.
This isn't the best way to
choose a President-but it isn't
the worst, either. There's still

Senate Group 70 Act
Tomorrow on Funds
or Burke Airport
By Harold B. ROGERS

The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee is expected to decide to-
morrow whether to approve funds
for controversial Burke Airport in
nearby Fairfax County, Va.
The House struck $1.4 million
for the field from the Third Sup
Elemental Appropriations bill be-
fore it sent the measure to the
Senate.
Restoration of the fund was
urged before the Senate Appro-
priations Committee by spokes-
men for the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority, but was opposed by rep
resentatives of the Virginia COM
munity and by Senator O'Conor,
Democrat, of Maryland.
The Senate committee planned
to decide tomorrow on the Burke
fund and other items in the big
Supplemental bill and will report
the measure to the Senate for
action soon.
Highlight of Congressional &C
ton on the District for this week
will be the open hearings scheduled
by a Senate Appropriations sub
committee on the House slashed
District supply bill for 10 am.

no deadline has been
set for conclusion of the hearings.
City officials plan to urge res
toration by the Senate of much
of the SIS million cut out of the
$136 million budget sent to Con-
gress by the President and the
District Commissioners. The pres
ent bill stands at about $131
million.
The House also made a 20 per
cent cut in the $12 million Fed
eral payment to city costs. Res
toration of the full amount will
be asked during the Senate
Preliminary Proposal Studied.
Legislation to require open, reg
ulated primaries here for election
of District delegates to national
political conventions is being re-
written by a Senate District sub
committee. 1t is expected to be
readied early this week, for action
by the full District Committee.
Preliminary plans are being
made for a meeting of the full
committee Tuesday or Wednesday,
if possible, to act on this measure,
and a number of other District
bills.
Pending in a House District
subcommittee are measures to eX-
tend District Rent Control for
one more year to June 80, 1853,
and to give Washington limited
home rule.
Action on these bills and others
probably will go over until after
the Easter recess, it was indicated
last night. The House has a
heavy load of national appropria-
ton bills to handle before quitting
for the recess later this week.
