The Nations Share Owners

The broad ownership of American business
and industry, one Of the measurements OF the
strength of the national economy, Is clearly
reflected in the Brookings Institutions study OF
holdings of publicly issued stocks in the United
States.
The institution estimates that 6.5 million
individuals have an ownership stake in the
Nations publicly financed corporate structures.
It is not surprising of course, that this should be
SO. Ours Is country where private enterprise
has fiourished and where the Horatio Ager
formula of rags to riches" has become common
place. Capitalism as system probably has
broader base here than in any other state on the
globe.
It is of both value and interest, however, to
fix the extent. Of this ownership in the Nations
corporate structure and to analyze the makeup
of the ownership itself It was found, for example,
that 76 per cent of the stockholders are persons
having an earned income Of less than $4,000
yearly-a circumstance contradicting the impress
sion that all Of American business is an octopus
like creation under the sinister control OF the
Wall street bankers. Slightly more than half Of
the SIS million are men. disputing the rather
general assumption Of recent years that the
womek know have all the money. The geographic.

RoseduIe Drowning

In response to Nish Showers letter
on the "Rosedale Drowning" I wish to
say that there are many things more
absurd than for the colored people Of
Washington to attribute the drowning
of a Negro boy in the Rosedale pool to
the pools segregation status" The seq
regation status itself is far more absurd!
Had the pool been open to all chill
dren, Kenneth Carroll would have un-
doubtedly splashed about in it with the
same delight. carefree abandon. and
sense of security of the white children
who enjoy the privilege during the day.
under proper supervision. when the pool
is legally open.
Granting that the child should not
have been in the pool after hours. the
question naturally arises: Why, then,
was he there?
He was there because he was denied
the right to be there when he should
have been permitted to enter.
He was there because the pool is 10
Gated in an almost entirely Negro neigh

Republicans have put on Is of their
rs national conventions to date in Chi
cago. More inclined to dispersal, the
Democrats this month will have staged
only eight Of their 20 conventions
there.
Only two of the Democratic presi-
Dental nominees. Gen. George McClel-
Ian in 1864 and William Jennings Bryan
in 1896, failed Of election. Grover
Cleveland won twice, and Franklin D.
Roosevelt three times.
Five Of the Republican nominees lost
in November after being chosen in Chi
cago. They were Gov. Thomas E. Dewey,
Herbert Hoover, Charles Evans Hughes,
William Howard Taft, and James G.
Blaine.
Former President Taft, however, was
nominated twice in Chicago and was
elected In 1908. Other Republican win
ners were former Presidents Harding.
Theodore Roosevelt, Benjamin Harrison.
Garfield, Grant and Lincoln.

These cats have few heas. but not
many, and these that remain are
lethargic. They simply haven't the am
bition to do much.
The cat without heaS. then, Is q dis
tinct possibility. Our correspondent
evidently knows her cats. and cannot
be mistaken. Not all persons are so.
They believe that because they do not
see heas, there are no heas. Others.
because they are not bitten. say there
are no fleaS.
!. The cat-and-deg flea is distinct
entity, creature that is SO versatile
that it can get good dinner out .of
most human beings who get too near.
Some persons, evidently, have skin so
tough that no fiea can crack it, or put
out some emulsion on their epidermis
that repels feas.
Consider that tender skinned individ-
ualist, Templeton Jones, himself. Old
Temp says that fleas will come for miles
to bite him. Also mosquitoes and CHG
gers.
Jones got himself new bottle Of "in-
sect repellent" recently.
He tried it around his ankles and feet
and when he got home In the evening
had i've fine mosquito bites.

in Chicago and its second anywhere met
in the "Wigwam." That, was a tempo
rary wooden structure btilt fer the pur-
pose near the present Loop"
The 465 delegates sat on the stage
which was really platform (no polit-
ical pun intendeO in front of some
10000 spectators with sharp eyes, alert
ears and often open mouths.
That was far cry-and almost four
miles away-from the Chicago Conven-
ton Building and International Amphi-
theater where the Republican national
convention of 1852 is at work. The air
cooled Amphitheater. down south by the
stockyards, is even farther from the Chi
cago Stadium where the 1914, 1912 and
1882 conventions were held, and from
the old Coliseum which housed some of
the earlier ones.
Economic as well as political consider
ations play an increasingly big part in
the selection of convention city. It is
no remarkable coincidence that Repub-
llcans and Democrats in recent years
have teamed up to the extent of conven-
ing in the same city and frequently have
wound up in Chicago.
Not every city could stand the strain
on its own resources and nerves, even II
it could count on some So million being
spent by visitors during the two conven-
tions. But Chicago, never at loss for
words or excitement, has been through
this performance SO often that she can
appear comparatively calm and collected
as the party orators step up to proclaim

There can be no question that such
cats exist.
Fleas fee 'em, and no pun intended.
It is just matter Of internal chemis-
try.
The fiealess cat builds UP on it's skin
q compound disagreeable to fleas. Maybe
an odor smellable only by fleas.
It all gets back to the flea, a most
intelligent insect, probably. the most
intelligent insect.
The flea. as well as any human. knows
what he likes, and definitely he does not
like the chemical compounds he finds on
such an animal.
We say "odor." because that is easiest
10 conceive, but It may be utterly diff
ferent. might even be ray" Of some
sort.
Such . thing Is possible.
The intelligent flea gets one whiif. or
one sight. or one something or other.
and decides to look for pastures new.

animal alone.

Compromise in South Korea

South Korea'S domestic political situation
has taken an excellent turn for the better as a
result Of the compromise that has been worked
out between President Syngman Rhee and his
opposition in the National Assembly. Their feud
which threatened at one time to explode into
q crisis Of the first magnitude apparently has
been brought to mutually satisfactory end and
the behind-the-lines security of our American
and allied United Nations forces has been
strengthened accordingly.
The compromise has satisfied Dr. Rhee's in
sistence that the Assembly give up its exclusive
right to elect the President of the young and
sorely tried Republic. Although he has resorted
to dictatorial actions he has succeeded in forcing
acceptance of the idea that the ofice-which he
now occupies and probably will continue to oc-
cupy for some time to come-should be filled in
keeping with a much more democratic process
than has prevailed heretofore. In short, he has
pressed the legislature into abandoning its Spe-
cial prerogatives by adopting, 1853 to 0, consti-
trtional amendment subjectng the presidency
to direct popular vote.
In addition to this, the Assembly has voted to
transform itself from a unicameral body into
congress made up Of two houses At the same
time, as part of the compromise, 1t has balanced
its surrender Of the presidential-election right
with another constitutional change giving the
legislative branch special powers to name and
overthrow cabinets. These powers, which are
loosely comparable to those of the British, French
and other parliaments, may cause some trouble
in the future, but they are the price that DR..
Rhee has had to pay for the concessions he has
won
Like all compromises, this one Is consider
