 cites. It takes over as soon as the pilot is hurled out, frees him from the, seat and at the right at
 Enospheric pressure - altitude - opens his parachute.
 The trick is a sensitive baro- metric bellows inside the box, which is made by the Irving Chute Company.

Hartman Takes Lead In Democratic Race For Nominating Delegates
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

w. Averel Hartman moved back into the lead in the race for Democratic presidential-nominat- ing delegate strength Friday on the basis of a new survey in Pennsylvania.
 Hartman, Mutual Security Di- rector, had been trailing Sen. Ke- fauver of Tennessee in the Asso- ciated Press nationwide tabula- ton of delegates.
 This tabulation gives Hartman 92, Kefauver 88K.
 At a New York press confer ence, Hartman said that, if nom- mated, he could beat any Re- publican "on the record of Roose- veltisn and Trumanism - that's what I stand for"
 The Associated Press survey of Republican delegates showed that Taft was leading Eisenhower, 366 to 306.

Army 'Justice'

The order granting a new trial to Army
Private Warren G. Mcconnell, sentenced to serve
10 years at hard labor for sleeping while on
sentry duty in Korea, is based on technicality.
Since this gives the trial authorities chance to
take another look at the evidence, it is better
than nothing. But it would have been still better,
assuming that the published statements are true.
If the new trial had been granted on the ground
that the original verdict ran counter to common
sense and common justice.
Private Mcconnell is 20 years old. He says
he had been without sleep for II hours when
assigned to sentry duty on bitterly cold night
It may be that some people can endure three
sleepess days and nights and still remain alert
and fit for duty. But others cannot. If Private
Mcconnell is telling the truth-and it should not
be too difficult to establish that point-it Is
unreasonable to condemn him to dishonorable
discharge, forfeiture of pay and allowances. and
10 years Imprisonment because he went to sleep
Sleeping while on sentry duty is serious
matter since it can endanger the lives OF Others
But if McConnels story is true, the Army is
CARRYING discipline in this instance to the point
of inhumanity.

The Anzus Council

solid link in the chain OF Pacific security
will be forged in Honolulu this week when the
Anzus Council holds its first meeting.
Representing the three members OF the
United States -Australia-New Zealand mutual
security pact the council is to be the working
body of that organization and by specific direc-
ton Of the treaty is to be so organized that 1t
can meet at any time. For this initial session,
the delegations are headed by Secretary OF State
Acheson and the Foreign Ministers Of the other
two countries, indicating that much more than
the formalities of organization and procedure
are on the fve-day agenda.
The Anzus pact is part Of three -pronged
security pattern which the United States has
evolved in the Pacific, the other components
being our mutual defense treaties with Japan
and with the Philippines. While the separation
of these agreements has practical merit in the
light of long standing fears and rivalries, the
American participation in all of them provides
a bond for common thought and action. They
represent the natural initial steps" which some
day may lead to single Pacific defense COM
munity comparable to that Of the free North
Atlantic powers.

If ever socialism has reared its ugly
head in any country, it has been right

their businesses, bought their farms and
their orchards with the desire to work,
to succeed and take the good with the
bad. What happens now? The farmer
takes life comparatively easy, safe and
comfortable in the knowledge that
storms, plaques and droughts need not
worry him-the taxpayer (you and ID
will pay for those reverses. Does the
orange grower in Florida worry about
the yearly storms? Heavens, no! The
price he receives for his oranges hardly
huctuates at all-in season or out-so
that you and can pay twice what used
to be winter prices all year around to
pay for the storms that may ruin some
of his crops. Then what happens?
Comes really devastating storm. and is
that taken care of by what we have

That's just good opportunity to

Rights of Red Dean

When you printed an editorial on the

in stating that his appointment was

reality for lack Of sound conservative
to vote for. This notice with the liberal
surge in the Republican Party and the
powerful personality Of Gen. Eisenhower
broke the back of Taft's drive for leader
ship. The Republican convention dared
not pit Taft against Russell, though it
might well have risked him against the
factional Democrats in the lists.
Russells solid strength in the South
and his growing strength in the West
came to the aid Of his own party. He
may be said to have represented a de-
termined third of the delegates. His
stature grew till it forced the draft of
truly national nominee.
What Russell stood for as he entered
the convention was the rock on which
the waves of political hysteria broke
into calmer water. The stand he took
after the convention was well under
way was the rallying point for the for
ward looking South.
It may fairly be said that as a can
didate for the presidency, Senator Rus
sell has united his party. 1t is now
agreed on the winning candidate, Gov.
Stevenson. But for Russell it might well
have gone astray after the powerful
minority groups on both sides Of Mason
and Dixon's line; because he foiled the
extremists in the great cities and led
the moderates in the great South, all its
elements are now in the fold.
The hating of reaction in the Repub-
lican ranks in this year Of danger for
America is a great thing. The closing
of the ranks in his own party on a
sound program is a great contribution
to it. And for Russell it is more blessed
to give than to receive. BY his contri-
buttons to these ends he has risen in
stature to national leader. For which,
ever party may win the election. the
country cannot lose if reaction can be
checked in the Senate.
1t may be well that Senator Russell's
achievement is the outstanding public

Irked by Saucer Theories

At this stage of the saucer" game I
must confess my patience is wearing
thin. For five years the American public
has had to endure the contradictions
and puerile denials of officials relative to
mysterious aerial objects. 1t is marvel
that any one can evince the slightest
grain of faith in the authorities"
The latest choice bit of utter puer-
ility is the statement which insists that
the 'saucers" are the result of "tempera-
ture inversion" and radar recording
ionized clouds in the atmosphere. This
brash statement is similar to that made
