In Minnesota Primary
AS q 'Fuvorite Som

A remark attributed to PreSl-
dent Truman yesterday that he
never quit a fight" was taken by

tive Sieminski, Democrat, Of New
Jersey, emerged from White
House visit quoting Mr.. Truman

From precinct captain to Pres.
ident, I have served the people
to the best of my ability, and Tn
a lobbyist for the people. I never
quit a fight or ran away from
anything"
Humphrey In Minnesota Race.
Meanwhile Senator Humphrey,
Democrat, of Minnesota, entered
his name as a "favorite son" cam
didate in the Minnesota March 18
presidential primary at the sug-
gestion of the President. Mime
sofa Democrats made plans last
fall to enter Mr.. Truman in their
primary. but recently the Presi-
dent requested them not to do so.
Senator Humphrey made it
clear he has no presidential am
bition, and said Minnesota's votes
will go to Mr.. Truman if he de-
cides to accept denomination. If
the President retires, Senator
Humphrey thinks Senator Ke-
fauver of Tennessee would make
a very wonderful" candidate for
the Democrats. He insisted, how
ever. he is going into the primary
with no commitments.
Appointment of Nathan Straus,
head of a New York radio station,
as national treasurer of the Ke-
fauver for President Club, was an
nounced here yesterday by

Morse Wants Oregon Test.
Other developments on the
political front yesterday were:
Senator Morse of Oregon said
he hopes Senator Taft will enter
the May 16 primary in Oregon
against Gen. Eisenhower. He
predicted Gen. Eisenhower would
win overwhelmingly.
Senator Malone, Republican, of
Nevada said a list of five planks
he has suggested for the Repub-
lican platform are attracting wide
attention at the San Francisco
meeting of the National Com
John L. Colmar. national chair
man of the Taft Clubs of America,
said criticism Of his organization
by a manager Of Senator Taft's
campaign was based on a mis-
understanding.
He was referring to objections
voiced by John d. M. Hamilton
yesterday to efforts of the Taft
clubs to collect funds to promote
the Ohio Senator's presidential
candidacy.
Mr.. Hamilton, Eastern manager
of the national Taft-for- President
committee, said in Philadelphia:
"As to Mr.. Colmar and the Taft
clubs Of America, it is apparent
that an attempt is being made to
a working fund of such
proportions as to interfere with
the legitimate collections Of our
committee.
ut should be noted that no con-
received by Mr.. Colmar's
organization find their way into
The National Taft Committee to
carry on its Nation wide work"
Mr.. Colmar today described his
organization as purely volunteer"
and said its aim Is to "crystalizeI
popular support" for Senator Taft.

Merry.Go.Round Poll

People not on the political inside
seldom realize how much backstage
wire pulling goes into the nominal
ton of a presidential candidate. To
a considerable extent this lessons
the chance of the American people
to elect President For. while they
can elect. not many can nominate.
This frequently leaves the Sc
lection of the presidential nomi-
nee matter of barter and
backstage lobbying by the party
bosses.
Today, Taft scouts have been
combing every state in the union,
pledging delegates six months in
advance. Some Of these may repre-
sent the people of their state, some
may not. Some may realize that
world conditions, the threat of war,
the hopes for peace, can change the
world in six months. and with them
can change the presidential needs
of the nation.
Therefore. to sound out the true
political sentiment of the American
people through the 600 newspapers
publishing the Washington Merry
Go-Round. this column is conduct
ing a postcard poll on the Repub-
lican candidates. (The Democratic
poll will come laterD To vote. ad-
dress a post card to the COP candi-
date of your choice, Box 1852,

I'm for you in 1852"

Debate Over McGrath

President Truman's advisers are
split down the seam on bold move
to GUST Attorney General Howard
McGrath and name crusading Sen.
Estes kefauver to clean up the
Justice department.
This proposal was pushed back
stage by Averell Hartman, who
has been on speaking trips out Of
Washington and knows how deeply
the corruption issue is hurting; also
by usually cautious White House
counsel Charlie Murphy, and young
er staff members.
Their argument with the Pres
ident is: 1.-The Investigations are not
going to stop with Internal Revenue
and RFC, but will go into alien
property custodian, surplus prop
erty, and possibly the federal judi
ciary right up to the Supreme Court.
The American people won't be sat-
isfied unless the administration
cleans house boldly and dramatical-
ly. A sure-fire way to regain pub
lie confidence is to name Senator
Kefauver as attorney general, Civ
ing him complete authority to prose-
cute, no matter who is hurt"
MIR. Truman seems to like the
idea and has been saying pri-
vately: "I've always been loyal
to my friends. But they haven't
been fair to me-"
On the other side. a powerful
White House force, Matt Connolly,
who sits next to the President and
makes all his appointments, is more
than cool. Connolly vigorously de-
tends his fellow Irishman in the
Justice department and has been
digging up political friends of M
Truman to talk up McGrath and
talk down his custer.

Wherever blood centers are not
operating they will accept donors
to supplement the national blood
program.
Ambitious women, these Red
Cross nurses, they are aiming at
1000 pints each month, and will
work on Blood For Freedom"
the name of their mobile blood COL
lection unit, until they make it.
They must, they say with typical
feminine determination, because
every drop is going direct to the
armed forces.
Heading the group of four nurses
that staff the car is Kathryn Nc
Donough, formerly of Waterloo,
Iowa. She did private duty after
training at St. Joseph's Hospital
in Omaha and then served as an
industrial nurse before joining the
blood program in September, 1919.
Ramona Walla is another mem
Der OF the crew. She lived at Lin
wood, Neb. originally and re-
ceived her nurses training at St.
Joseph's Hospital in Omaha. Be-
fore joining the blood program in
December, 1949, Ramona did pri-
vate duty nursing.
Eileen Roth, who came from
Elkhorn, Neb., before moving to
Omaha, is the third member of
the staff. She is another alumna
of St. Joseph's in Omaha and was
on private duty before joining the
blood program in January, 1850.
Monica DeWulf of Cedar RAPIDS,
Neb;., has been with the Red Cross
blood program since September,
1850. She was also a private nurse
after her graduation from St.
Elizabeth's Hospital Nursing
School at Lincoln, Neb.
COLLECTIVELY, these four
white-clad nurses have worked on
more than 300 mobile trips made
by the Omaha regional mobile
unit, operating. in Eastern Ne
braska, so they have plenty of ex-
perience.
BLOOD donors soon realize just
how simple it is to donate their
blood" says Miss McDonough.
men almost always joke about
the possible high alcoholic content
of their blood"
take a gallon, I've got lot"
is the comment Miss Walla hears
from male stalwarts, and know
ing the pressing need for blood
on the battlefield, she certainly
wishes she could.
Wherever they operate, the
nurses will be under direction OF
local physician, on their feet all
day doing tough job because
they realize its importance.
Miss DeWuf summed it up neat
ly' when she pointed out that, Civ
ing your life for your country is
the supreme sacrifice, but saving
a life is certainly as important.
Any qualified citizen can do Just
that, onoe every three months.

Four Nurses Plan 10000 Mile,
Ten State Tour for Red Cross


Four young women are out for
blood, and they are going after
It in big way.
First of all, Union Pacific Rail-
road remodeled business car,
attached a baggage car to carry
supplies, and promised to trans
port them anywhere they wished
to 60 on the 10000 miles of its
tracks to complete their search.
Next the American Red Cross
furnished them with supplies and
offered to have their local chapters
recruit enough patriotic American
volunteers to part with a pint of
the vital fluid.
So they are ready to hit the road,
railroad that is, on a tour that will
take them through the eleven
western states served. by Union
Pacific beginning in December.

Two weeks later the long-hoped-
for day arrived. Phil received no.
t!ce of his transfer to the Suffolk
office. Joyously the two young peo-
pie packed up their belongings and
said goodbye to TEMPER. They took
an apartment in the suburb of Ash

This wasn't particularly difficult.
Mrs. Hooper, who was rather plain
looking person and who occupied
an apartment on the same floor
with the Davises, seemed eager to
help the young folks get settled. She
came in every day and made sug-
gestions which Dot found helpful.
Phil came home one evening to

A month after they had left Tenn

Navy Declines
z:S24Iia1AizGSJIU

THE NAVY has taken an unusual
stand regarding the air warfare
which is getting more and more in
tense over Korea. 1t has turned
down a request from Gen. Otto Wey-
land, Air Force commander in the
Far East, that Navy jets help out
the Air Force in combating Russian
MICS.
With increasing Com mum S t
strength in the air, and with the Air
Force sometimes badly outnumber-
ed in battling Russian MICS, Gen.
eral Weyland requested help from
the Nays carrier-based jet fight
erS.
However, despite the fact that
there is supposed to be armed serv-
ices unification, the Navy refused.
Official reason was that Navy car
riers were outside the fighting
range.
Air force pilots who some
times 60 into battle against su-
perior Communist odds believe
the Navy is trying to hide the
fact that its jets are inferior to
the MICS. Since the Navy spe-
cializes in fighters, and not long
ago boosted the best jet fighter
plane in the world, this is a
bitter pill to swallow.
Navy pilots today are among the
best in the world, but apparently
planes haven't kept up with either
the Air Force or the enemy. AS a
result only two MICS have been shot
down by the Navy during the Ko-
rean War. One was bagged by a
Navy Panther jet some time ago,
the other by Navy pilot who, how
ever, flew an Air Force Sabre jet.
