IN FAIRBANKS businessmen armed with a petition signed by a large percentage of the down. town property owners attended a special meeting of the Fair banks City Council in a body several days ago to press the need for immediate paving of the downtown area. Asking the city for $25,OO0 for grading and back filling, the business men offered to pay the cost, prorated among owners of laying the first seal coat, estimated to cost $32. 2.000. The cost, coming to total of $4 per running foot, would mean that each owner would be assess ed $2 per front foot, according to the businessmen.

Pooling Resources

David Lawrence's plan for pooling re-
sources Of the free nations and block
aiding ports behind the Iron Curtain
sounds fine in theory. Whether such a
plan would receive necessary co-opera-
tion Is another question, particularly in
the neutral and pseudo neutral countries.
Would the suggested control measures
be effective? Would each country have
to change the existing trade and tariff
laws to such an extent that there would
be interminable delays in putting such
plan into working order? Would the
groups that profit by the present ar
rangements pressure against such a
plan? The psychological effects of all
out war enabled the central control of
pooled resources during World War II,
but the present pacifist tendencies would
be hard to override.
At least this is a concrete counter
measure that would no doubt bring the
Soviets to terms. It calls for positive
action instead Of this wait and see
what they do first" floundering type Of
diplomacy. Propaganda-wise, it doesn't
really matter what course we take since
all news is screened through the "lies
and distortions department" at the Iron
Curtain. Let us hear more about this

Nobodys ScrombIing for Second Place
By Jack Jonas

WHEN Senator Kefauver announced
q few days ago that he was not

ticket. his statement was accepted by
some as an attempt to scotch rumors
that he might be open to last-minute
deal at Chicago.

presidential candidates. basked briefly in
the limelight. and then vanished from
the public eye.
In normal times, even those Vice Presi-
dents who get elected command little
attention. Theirs is a potential, rather
than actual. power in government.
Some able and ambitious political
careers have been buried in that Office.
AS President Of the Senate, the vice
President wields little power-far less
than the Speaker of the House. He's
there principally to run things according
to parliamentary procedure.
The roll of vice presidential candi-
dates in history includes names like
Theodore Frelinghuysen, Joseph Lane.
John Sergeant. Richard Stockton, John
Langdon and William L. Dayton.
It also includes names like Theodore
Roosevelt. Whitelaw Reid, Elbridge
Gerry, Martin Van Buren,, Chester A.
Arthur. Henry Wallace and John w.
Bricker. But when these men are men
toned. it is not as Vice Presidents or as
candidates for Vice President.
It is difficult to recall at moments
notice the running mates for AL Smith,
ALT Landon and Wendell L. Willkie,
although this goes back only a short
way. Politicians may be able to name
them, but for others little thought
is required. un order, they were Joseph

It takes q reference book to bring
to mind the running mates for men
like James Madison. James Monroe.

So now our Secretary Of State-he Of

to bomb the North Korean power plants
that are supplying power for the manu-
facture Of munitions to kill our GIs. The
next thing we know he will be apollo
gizing to the Chinese Reds for having
caused them all this inconvenience in
Korea. But, of course. the Reds should
not blame Mr.. Acheson too severely.
After all, 1t was Mr.. Truman who, after
Mr., Acheson had attempted to abandon
Korea to the Reds, crossed up this
Acheson policy and started the Korean
war. So it is Mr.. Truman's war, not Mr..

LHIipution Olive Branch

The latest pronouncement from Governor
Stevenson may be disappointing to the Demo-
Gratis. Those among them who think the Illinois
Governor would be their strongest presidential
candidate would have been happy had he been
more specific in saying he would not reject
draft. But what the Governor actually did say
ought to be specific enough for the Republicans
He said that in the unlikely event" that
draft-StevenSon movement should develop, Il
will decide what to do at that time in the light
of conditions that then exist" This is suostan-
TALLY what he said in a statement on May 8.
It is quite an about-face, however, from his
statement of April Is: II am candidate for
Governor of Illinois I could not accept the
nomination for any other Office this summer"
The fair Interpretation is that Governor
Stevenson reluctant though he may be, will
accept his party'S nomination if it should be
forthcoming and if he thinks there is a reason
able prospect of victory in November. It is also
q fair assumption that the Democratic bosses
will do everything in their power to generate
draft movement and that they will stop at
nothing to convince the Governor that he is the
man most likely to lead the party to victory at
the polls. Perhaps the Illinois Governor is being
overly coy. Political drafts unlike good little
children, are more apt to be heard of than seen,
and if Governor Stevenson intends his Houston
may be impossible to hold majority of delegates
in line for him until the Democratic convention
assemblies.
The Republicans ought to proceed In the
expectation, however that he is the man they
will have to beat in November. And their chances
of beating him with any candidate of their own
choosing will diminish in direct proportion to
the extent of the cleavage in the G. o. p. ranks.
The Republican split is serious one, and it
is not going to be appreciably closed by the kind
of "olive branch" which Senator Taft is reported
TO have proffered when he arrived in Chicago to
assume direction of his stretch drive for the
nomination. "If were nominated" he was
quoted as saying, II have very forgiving nature.
I would be glad to have all these (Eisenhower)
men in consultation"
The Republican nominee, whoever he may be,
Is going to need more than forgiving nature.
After all, what is there to forgive in the fact
that a delegate has supported another candi-
date? The successful candidate, whether he be
Senator Taft or General Eisenhower, ought not
to think in terms of forgiving any one. Instead
he ought to employ all of his powers of persuasion
In appealing to all of the delegates and all of the
diverse elements within the party, to close ranks
In the common cause. The Republicans have
good chance to win the election. But victory is
not by any means foregone conclusion, and the
chance can be thrown away If the g. o. p.
nominee has to lead divided and embittered
party into the fight.

Mr.. Lottimore's Embarrassment

It may be that Owen baltimore has laid it
on bit too thick in commenting on the State
departments expression of regret over the "em-
barraSSment' caused him by the special action
taken recently to guard against his leaving the
country. Nevertheless, regardless of the mans
controversial character, and regardless of rumorS
that he will soon be the target of scathing and
perhaps Well-documented congressional attack
the TACT remains that he has had big and
wholly legitimate grievance in this instance
Thus, judging from reports that appear to
be 1ncontrovertible on the basis of careful FBI
inquiry, he has been the victim of an irresponsible
"informer" whose drunken and completely false
remarkS-addressed to representative of the
Central Intelligence Agency-have been enough
to make the State Department deal with him as
II he were potential fugitive from Justice Ger
tainly, the action taken against him has lent
itself to only one interpretation that
there has been solid evidence (which there has
not BEEN of the existence Of a conspiracy on
his part to sneak out of the United States to
some hideaway behind the Kremlin's Iron Cur
tain.
When man is subjected to this sort OF
thing, he suffers more than mere "en1barrass-
ment." He suffers severe injury to his reputa-
ton. He becomes the focal point of widespread
suspicious and insinuations suggesting the possi-
bility of reasonable intent Accordingly what
ever may be said against him In other respects,
MIR. baltimore in this particular instance is fully
entitled to the apology he has received, and he
Is altogether right in demanding that steps be
taken to insure that other Americans will not
be similarly victimized in the future Such incl
dents simply cannot be reconciled with the laws,
principles and traditions Of our democracy
