Campaign Poison Sure to Spread
Damage Done by Truman in His Attempt to Arouse
Roce and Religious Prejudice VIII Be Remembered

Stevenson has indorsed the
Democratic Senators who did
this-those up for election this
year.
Senator Fulbright. Democrat.
Of Arkansas, voted for enact
ment Of the McCarran law, and
he is helping to manage Gov.
Stevenson's campaign. Sena-
tor MacFarland of Arizona, the
Democratic Party's leader in the
Senate. voted for the McCarran
bill and to override the Tru-
man veto. Are they both ex-
empt from the Truman de-
nunciation?
Knowing all this not to be
a party issue, Mr.. Truman
nevertheless declared that Gen.
Eisenhower had Endorsed for
reelection some Republican
Senators who had voted for the
McCarran law. In truth, the
Republican nominee indorsed
all candidates as a matter Of
party harmony but came out
himself for a complete revision
of the McCarran law. Here
follows the controversial state
ment by Mr.. Truman:
THE Republican candidate
for the presidency cannot
escape responsibility for his
Endorsements. He has had an
attack Of moral blindness. for
today, he is willing to accept
the very practices that identi-
fed the so-called master race
although he took q leading part
in nberating Europe from their
domination"
Thus, in effect, Mr.. Truman
called General Eisenhower pro-
Nazi and in another part of his
speech he added: "anti-Semi-
tism, anti Catholicism. and
anti-foreignism grow only in
concealment. They have hidden
themselves within the Republic
can Party for years"
This paragraph will 60 down
in history as a "boner" not un-
like that which defeated James
G. Blaine in 1894 when one of
his visitors in a delegation said

party of rum, Romanism and

time. The remark was. however.

nominee. who lost.
It could work in reverse. For
the Jews of America do not
wish to be catalogued as all
voting for one party and neither
do the Catholics. Groups which
are in the minority have
learned over the years to vote
as Americans rather than as
class conscious religionists.

"Tell me how New York is 60
ing and I'll tell you about the
South" said an astute Southern
Senator. IF we save New York,
we're saved here. The same
things help us and hurt us in
both places"
This is an interesting conceS-
sion to the social and economic
changes wrought in the South
during the past 20 years. 1t is
an admission that politics, with
Gen. Eisenhower as the spur,
may catch up to those changes
this year.
It implies also a belief quite
generally held by working poll
ticians. That belief is that
Gov. Stevenson by taking New
York and the South may prevail
in electoral votes even though
he loses the popular vote to the
war hero who heads the Repub-
lican ticket.
The barrage now being laid
down on New York BY both sides
constitutes their admission that
the State is vital.
President Truman gave his all
in his own way. He is being crit
icized and should the State be
lost to his party he will be much
blamed. But his plan was
deliberate and represents a
calculated effort by q vote-getter

the text of Gov. Stevenson's

that practically all evil has been p.

Toast of Town Shows Signs
OF Sullivan Showmonship
By Harry Macarthur

Ed Sullivan has been engaged
in an interesting enterprise for
the past two Sundays on his
Toast of the Town" (WTOP-TV
8 pm). He has been
telling the history of ASCAP, the
American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers, largely by
parading a number of members
of the organization before his cam
eras as piano soloistS.
AS a matter of fact, he got pre-
cious little history set forth with
any clarity. He did, however,
make it clear to a lot of people
who didn't know before what
ASCAP is and how it insures that
a man who writes songs shall
profit by his labors.
There are two drawbacks to
such an undertaking as this. One
is that a parade of songwriters
and their hits tends to take on
as Sullivan noted himself, the
and-then-I-wrote- "Margie" look
The other is that songwriters,
generally, are not the best
equipped people around for deliv-
ering their wares to the public.
It seemed to this viewer. how
ever, that these complaints be-
came decidedly minor ones
Certainly there was a lot of pleas
ure to be had in this backstage
look at the men who have been
writing the tunes other people
have become rich and famous
singing and playing.
There is a certain satisfaction
to be had, too, in the discovery
that a man who has achieved
wealth by turning out hit songs
can play only a fair parlor piano.

and dement's, the two shows had

Strated at least one of the reasons
why Sullivan has managed to keep
Toast of the Town high in the
ratings in face of the stiff Com
'edy Hour" competition.
He obviously is not content with
a slick variety show presenting
the best talent the budget will
allow. That's too easy a mark for
competition from somebody who
merely spends more money. What
Sullivan leans toward is the va
riety show with an idea which
gives it some cohesivenesS. It
doesn't have to be an oklahoma I"
or a South Pacific" It can be
the mere fact that no songwriter
today needs to suffer the fate of
Stephen Foster, who left behind
a lot of wonderful music and
38 cents.
The musical biographies of we'll
known entertainment figures have
been other examples of the Sui
Ivan search for new directions in
the television variety show field.
He has more of these planned and
he also seems on the alert for
other touches of showmanship to
set Toast of the Town" apart.
Sullivan has been giving some
personal indications lately that he
is well aware that television is
something brand new. It demands
something more than what vowed
them at the Palace in 1928. The
relationship between TV program
and viewer is differnet somehow
from that between radio program
and listener. Television demands
an approach all it's own.
The Toast of the Town" head
man has had his critics, all right,
present deponent occasionally
snarling with them. A major
charge against him has been that
he continually played to a few
hundred people in the theater and
ignored several million home view
ers. This charge has been made
against others, of course, some of
them veterans who should be wise
in the ways of show business.
Sullivan. however, has not ar
rogantly ignored criticism, painful
as some of it may have been. He
obviously has examined this mat
ter of ignoring the living-room
audience and found some validity
in the complaint. AS you have
noticed this season, he is now
willing to tell you. too, about the
next act, instead of letting you
overhear him tell the studio audi
ence, as used to be the case.
He could. in the opinion of this
observer, go all the way, say in
the manner OF Conrad Nagel on
the defunct Celebrity Time" But
this is an Improvement. And it
seems apparent that an alert
