Tuft Tukes the TilIer

For short while at least, Gov. Dewey's
hands have been shaken from the helm
Of the Republican Party. As Of Sep
tember IL, when Senator Taft emerged
from his conference with Gen. Eisen-
hover, the pilotage was taken over BY
the Senator and new chart was pre-
sented with every indication Of saner
navigation. on more sensible course.
Senator Taft's statement issued after
his conference with the general offers
a bit Of reading that every American
citizen would do well to study and medi-
tate upon its detail. That it was widely
read there is no doubt, but Just how far
the truths Of his statement penetrate
the mentality of the voting public, re-
mains to be seen. It is to be hoped that
the statements contained therein will
be given due consideration by the high
brass Of the Republican Party who have
to date shown little intelligence basically
and none whatever politically.
One group Of American voters that can
be depended upon to give this matter
the thought that it deserves. are those

chine politics for long time. But heretofore
he has been addressing his remarks to the
Democratic organization in Arlington. Now the
disappointed Mr.. Dugan, in one of those lofty
sentences which formerly endeared him to the
Non-Partisans, says: Machine politics are just
as abhorrent to me when found in the ranks
OF non-partisans as they are when found in
the ranks of the regular parties"
An outsider is hardly in position to say
whether MIR. Dugan is correct in imputing ma
chine politics to those who found a successful
political formula in opposing machine politics.
Certainly the Non-Partisans have demonstrated
a considerable skill in politics and political or
ganization. 1t is equally certain, however, that
they had reason to feel, in dropping Mr. Dugan,
that he had become a political liability rather
than an asset.
Perhaps this is nothing more than another
evidence that political honeymoons lead more
often than not to disenchantment.

One Churity for All

Once upon a time folks thought the
Community Chest would free us from
individual contributions to charity. It
was a wonderful idea :. all charities
working together for the good of all.
BaSically Christian idea-basically
American in its ideals But-and this
was the hitch-other big name charity
outfits wouldn't go along with this idea
because they feared their own pet would
become non-entity nameleSs
thing. Too, they had their own per-
Sonnel set up and the big wheels heading
these separate organizations would be
relegated to the position Of small ball
bearings If they affiliated.
The result? Joe Public pays for indi-
vidual organization. individual cam
paigning and individual annoyance from
dozen different outfits all-year long.
If all charity organizations were really
filled with the spirit Of brotherly love,
and really wanted to do the best pos
sible job for the least money. they would
pool their brains, time and energy and
hit this thing once year with every
thing at their command!
I don't care If it's called the Com
munity Chest, the Collective Charities
or the United Pot; let's eliminate this
charity confusion we have now and get
the heart, lungs. head, feet and various
diseases into one body. instead of run
ming charity like q dissection lab.

We used to drive Repubmobiles most Of

Salesman: you've come to the right

rid of that heap you're driving. Look at
your radiator! It's full Of rust and cor

bad, but believe it's mostly caused by q
little scum around the filling cap. I'm
going to see that the dirt is thoroughly
flushed out. Anyway, heard your test
car was already developing signs Of the
same thing. What about that?"
Salesman: 1.-THE steering is terrible.
See that Korean mud all over the car!
You wouldn't have run OF the highway
in Repubmobile. Your brakes aren't
made right and have never been safe"
Mr.. Citizen: what kind Of brakes you
got on your new model?"
Salesman: "The same old time-tested
design we've always used"
Mrs. Citizen: II remember we had an
awful time stopping our old Repubmobile
on a long, steep downgrade we hit on Q
trip back around 1890. Lucky we didn't
smash up worse than we did"
Salesman: 1.-THE cost of running your
car is out Of all reason"

keeping me broke to run this bus. How
are you fellows going to reduce my run

Salesman: "Er ah Look at the

oughtn't to be on car at all. It doesn't
give fair chance for electrical service

erstwhile Democrats who no longer have
party. This group Is made up Of
literally thousands Of voters who were
born and raised in the Democratic Party
and in Democratic localities They are
those Democrats who have to date re-
manned true to principle Of govern
ment and to this date have withstood
the evils Of the New Deal. They are
those Democrats who have had to stand
helpless for two decades and watch
bunch Of long-haired men and short
haired women take over their party, con-
tinue under the same liable, this hybrid
political organization which should in
all propriety and truthfullness be labeled
"The Labor-Socialist Party"
The Senator with his customary clarity
and succinct composition, delivered the
first real wallop Of the campaign for the
Republicans and his statement cuts the
pattern for q successful campaign.
Thanks to his fortnight attitude and
unquestioned sincerity. the voters can
well take heart that the change Of ad-
ministration for which they have been
looking. appears in better perspective
today.
The campaign agreement between
Senator Taft and Gen. Eisenhower has,
as was expected, created much comment.
This is the greatest thing that could
happen to help the general win and
Gov. Stevenson ct al know this. So they
begin to shout that Ike has sold out to
Taft. Adlai probably would love to ''sell
out" to Senator Byrd in the same man
ner. The general now has the support
and cooperation Of Taft with his great
knowledge Of every phase Of Govern
ment, domestic and international. I can
just imagine the glee that would have
been registered If Taft has turned his
back on the general.
Is any one so naive as to think Steven
son can "clean up" Washington wher
his hackers are those who created the
big mess?
Millions prefer Taftism and McCar-
thyism to Acheson-Trumanism. The
former may save the Nation from the
complete ruin the latter two are busily
bringing about.

such calls were made and no excuse for
not making the calls was given. Not
only did the committee fail to call these
witnesses. but they also neglected to
summon other shippers who could iden-
tify boat "X."
My protest was denied on the basis
that did not conform to rule of the
Presidents Cup Regatta-the rule be-
ing that was to inform the shippers
of boat 'X" Of my proposed protest as
soon as he committed an infraction of

notice that Truman is making 81
speeches for Stevenson, better known
as "Adlai." Why? All Of you thinking
people know why. He picked him five
months before the Democratic Conven-
tion and made special trip there at
the dramatic moment and practically
arranged the nomination. Why? You
know why. Because Stevenson is a
liberal. New and Fair Dealer just like
Truman. The whole truth is he is
another Truman, socialistically minded,
and will lead this country the way it
has been going for 20 years, the wrong
way.
I say and warn you that we do not
want another Truman and socialist.

Court Congestion and Vacancies

Henry p Chandler director of the Admins
trative Office of the United States Courts says
in his annual report that the No. problem of
Federal Justice is docket congestion. He recon-
mends legislation to increase the number Of
judgeships But that would not be a complete
remedy for what ails the judicial machinery
today. The mere creation Of additional judge
ships would be of little avail unless they were
filled promptly. Unfortunately, as the Federal
Judiciary Committee of the American Bar Asso-
citation pointed out recently, there have been long
delays in filling existing vacancies. The difficulty
Of obtaining passage of legislation to create more
vacancies is obvious.
Congress, as matter of fact mustered little
enthusiasm over an administration sponsored
bill to enlarge the Federal judiciary by 16 judges.
The Senate passed the bill this year, but the
House failed to act. Meanwhile, the Senate and
the President were at loggerheads over several
proposed appointments, with the result that
vacancies remained untitled in several circuits.
There are today five district and one circuit
judgeship vacant. Two Of the district judge
ships have been untitled since they were created,
in 1850. They are in illinois,
study of the vacancy problem by the ABA
committee revealed that not all of the delays
were due to disputes between the President and
the Senate over nominees There has been pro-
crastination in making appointments after va
cancieS developed. The committee said: 1T is
clear that intolerable delays Of justice during
the past three years have been directly attribut-
able to the failure of the appointing power to
act with promptness when vacancies have
occurred
Mr.. Chambers report did not refer to
executive delay in making appointments, but it
deplored the shortage of judges in several dis
tricts with resultant docket congestion and trial
delays This situation is unfair to ntigants in
civil cases. Mr.. Chandler commented: mo matter
how good cause Of action man may have,
it is not acceptable as security for a loan. To
realize on it he has either to obtain judgment
Of court or to settle with the other party. If
the calendars Of the court are so clogged that he
cannot secure trial for months or years, he is
often driven to settle for what he can get and
to sacrifice his rights"
This is not even-handed justice, and the
prestige of the courts is bound to suffer when
such conditions prevails they do in many
Jurisdictions today. Under the circumstances,
the judiciary should be kept at full strength at
all times-and added to II necessary to assure
that justice will be administered with reasonable
promptness.

Then he turned around, looked at her

The expression on the young lady's

ment, and bewilderment as to what she

'One Charity for AIR

A letter on this page revives the proposal Of
zone Charity for Aha single, united appeal for
funds not only for the Community Chest agencies
but for such causes as the Red Cross, the Cancer
Fund, etc. AS the author of this letter correctly
states, that was the main idea behind the original
and wide acceptance Of the Community Chest
principle.
few, but an increasing number, of COM
munities have adopted the principle of a single
campaign. AS the letter writer describes it. they
pool their brains, time and energy and hit this
thing once year with everything at their
command"
But it Is important to remember what It is
they have at their command. It is the will
lngness Of the community's business houses
and industries to put into effect payroll
deduction plan. With such a plan in effect
employees pledge annual amounts for the one
big campaign and these amounts are spread
over the whole year by weekly, semiweekly
or monthly deductions from pay envelopes. The
pledges are larger and so is the participation of
contributors
In Washington we cannot move very far in
that direction until the city's largest industry,
and the largest single employer-the Govern
ment-s willing to put payroll plan
into effect. If that were done, most of the citys
private employers, it is believed, would fall in
line and this convenient method Of contributing
to one big campaign would be utilized by thou
sands Of willing givers. The desire of the Red
Cross for example, to maintain independence
In its appeals for funds is based primarily on the
knowledge that unless payroll-deduction plans
are available more money is raised by inde-
pendent appeals than by single campaign.

At the start Of the first Hampton

(228O, as being over the line, along
with two other boats. which the COM
mittee could not positively identity.
After returned to the line, the COM
mittee announced over the public ad-
dress system, that I would be eligible
to protest the two boats that failed to
return to the line. The race was very
slow, and after speaking to three skip
pers who were in q position to see boat

my prerogative as skipper and protest

Upon completion Of the race In uues-

It appears that the Red Cross is too
often the butt Of much criticism on the
part Of the public at large. To effec-
lively combat this. the public relations
staff Of the Red Cross should come forth
with honest answers. denials, plus ex-
plantations strong and convincing.
It is repeatedly and consistently heard
that ID the Red Cross either charges
cash or replacement for blood used by
wounded men on the field Of battle; (2)
money or other assistance is not avail
able in many cases to worthy servicemen
and families; (3) articles donated to
the Red Cross are sold to Servicemen
overseas; "a there often is lackadaisi-
cal attitude toward problems of service

the Red Cross is administratively top
heavy, relying too heavily on volunteer
assistance that is overworked and 'un-

ease in ironing. rewax the surface
with beeswax. Wipe of excess
wax and polish sole plate with a
clean dry cloth or paper towel.
II, by chance, you do scratch
the aluminium sole plate these
scratches will not bother you un-
less they are deep enough to leave
a rough edge. In such cases, the
rough edges can be removed with

cause it will scratch and mar the

The above advice comes from

The following advice comes from
a newspaper column on the care
OF the iron: LET me warn you
about the old routine of sprink-
ling salt on paper and running
the iron over it. The salt may
scratch the iron, and the tiny
scratches let moisture collect, SC
eventually the iron would rust"
Also: If your iron has been
sticking to the cloth, the cloth
might be too dry or the starch
might be responsible. A tiny lump
OF soap dropped in the hot starch
before it's taken off the stove will
take care of the latter trouble
