REA Reorganization
Detailed by Wickard
BY the Assoeioted Press

MADISON. Wis, Sept. 12.-The
future of the rural electrif1cation
program rests upon a new re-
organization program, Claude
Wickard, REA administrator, said
Yesterday. He spoke before $50
delegates to an annual meeting
of the National Rural Electric Co
operative Association.
"REA co-opS are becoming more
mature" he said. THAT IS the
main reason for a decision to re-
organize REA's internal structure
at this time.
"Our policy will be that co-ops
and public power districts are to
have final authority in running
their own businesses, and that as
they attain maturity and self
suf6ciency, REA services ought to
be progressively withdrawn.
Those who have borrowed
from REA have learned much.
They have learned to carry more
and more responsibility in working
toward objectives. We cannot do
things for people they can do
themselves.
I'VE now have a rapidly grow
ing telephone program, as well as
general electrif1cation. This takes
more of our time, and means
transfer Of specialists.
Mr.. Wickard added:
"REA policies do not put gov
ernment in business. Rather, II
furthers the private competitive
enterprise system"

ingness to 60 along with the Of
fetal position of the block. I
think it is q myth. and If ! am
right I believe this to be one Of
the most hopeful and reassur-
ing elements In our democracy.
The myth operates to frighten
and to stampede many ONCE
holders into doing things
against their own inclinations
and their own better Judgment.
Its exposure is the beginning of
real statemanship for many who
have been taken in by it. Large
organizations of Americans
simply do not vote uniformly in
support Of what are represented
to be their special interests or
predictions. and that is true
whatever be the nature of the
tie that binds the group and ap-
parently sets it apart from its
fellow men, whether it be re-
gional, economic circumstances,
geographical attachment or
other divisive factors. The SEN
atorial election in Ohio in 1850
was a most persuasive demon
stration in this respect, as you
all know. had q similar ex-
perience in Illinois with the
State Federation of Labor in
1948.
Last year. I vetoed five of the
nine bills passed by the Illinois
Legislature and included in the
official legislative program Of
the Illinois State Department
of the American Legion. I
vetoed special interest bills of
all kinds calling for more than
$40 million of appropriations
and I was solemnly warned in
every case that I would lose all
of the votes of the groups af-
fected. It is a mighty good
thing I didn't run for Governor.
I wouldn't have got a vote in the
State.
Well. my friends, I didn't be-
lieve it then; I don't believe it
now, although if I should return
to Los Angeles as private cit
izen after the first of the year,
I should be glad to have lunch
with you again and eat crow.
In any event. whatever my own
fate as a politician, I do know
that sound government ends
when the leaders of special
groups call the tune, whether
they represent capital, labor or
farmers, veterans. pensioners or
any one else. And I am con-
vinced that the public servant
that does the right things no
matter whose toes are stepped
on does not lose all of the votes
Of the hands that are even
with those toes. Now, there is
something else I should like to
mention. The 20 years since

Democratic Chairman
Wants 10 Beat 1896
Roosevelt Record
BY me Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Demo-
cratic National Chairman Stephen
A. Mitchell is training his party's
sights on bettering Franklin D.
Roosevelt's 46-to-2 State score
of 1886.
Mr.. Mitchell told newsmen yes
terday that national campaign
aides for the Stevenson-Sparkman
ticket are concerned about over
confidence.
The only way to cope with this,
Mr.. Mitchell added, is to aim to
beat 1886" when President Roose-
welt carried every State except
Maine and Vermont against ALI
M. Landon of Kansas.
Mr.. Mitchell held a news con-
ference after a regional meeting
with party leaders and candidates
from New England and Middle
Atlantic States. the District of CO.
lumbia and the Virgin Islands.
Cure for Overconfidence.
Asked by a newsman whether
the Democratic Party was not
facing the problem Of overconfi-
dence. Mr.. Mitchell replied:
Il think so. and I have cure
for it: Beat the 1886 record
That's what told the (regional
party) conference in Denver, and
that's what I told the people to-
day. I am satisfied that we will
do it, so far as a majority vote
is concerned"
Explaining why he confidently
predicted victory for Gov. Stew
enson and Senator Sparkman, the
national chairman said:
"The quality of our candidates
as against the quality Of the op-
position: people in this country
are pretty shrewd buyers: the
platform is on the square; the
party is united; the leaders are
working together. and the people
know when they have a good
thing"
Mr.. Mitchell said the reaction
at the meeting with leaders here
yesterday was the same as that
at Denver-one of deep and
quiet confidence which left me
heartened and optimistic"
High Educational Level.
The chairman replied emphati-
cally in the negative when asked if
he did not think that Gov. Steven
sons speeches were lover the
heads" of a third of the Nations s
voters.
Don't underestimate the intel
ligence of the American people, !"
he said. "The level of education
is pretty high. I don't think they
think much Of a candidate who
talks down to them. They like a
man to be himself"
Mr.. Mitchell said all the unsuc-
cessful candidates for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination
would stump for the Stevenson
Sparkman ticket.
Mr.. Mitchell said the approach
of himself and Of the national
committee to the situation in Tex
as-where a shift Of many Demo-
Gratis to Gen. Eisenhower is in
progreSs-is to "let Texans take
care of Texas matters"
The chairman said Gov. Steven
son undoubtedly would visit Texas
and other Southern States.

Mossadegh Reported
Slowing Down on His
Rejection Of Oil Plan
BY The Asseeiofsd Press

LONDON. Sept. IL. Premier
Mohammed Mossadegh wer re-
liably reported today to have had
second thoughts over his rejection
Of the joint Anglo-American pro-
posals for an Iranian oil settle
ment.
Diplomatic officials here said
Mr.. Mossadegh called for some
explanation and Qualifications
of the offer sent along a fortnight
ago by President Truman and
Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
They declared also his inquiries
made yesterday in the course of
an unexpected meeting with Brit
|ish Envoy George H. Middleton
in Teheran-suggested some for
NAL Iranian counter proposals
may be made after the Mails
meets next week.
Hopes Not Too High.
The British Foreign Ofiice
clearly was not inclined to pin
high hopes on a possible change
OF heart on Mr.. Mossadegh's part,
however. Britain's cautious wait
and-see attitude stems from a
series Of disappointments suffered
in their negotiators' long contacts
with the Iranian leader.
A Foreign Office spokesman
said today, however, that Mr..
Mossadegh Unexpectedly sent for
Mr.. Middleton yesterday-con-
trary to Teheran reports which
said that the British envoy had
requested an urgent meeting.
The spokesman said ian ex-
change Of views" took place on
the Anglo-American proposals for
a settlement.
Terms Of Proposals.
The proposals suggested:
l. International arbitration Of
the Anglo-Iranian oil company's
compensation claims.
2. American emergency aid for
Iran to the extent of $40 million.
3. Negotiations between the
British and the Iranians looking
to the relaxation of the de facto
British blockade Of Trans oil
operations. This would enable the
flow OF oil to be resumed from
Iran.
| 4. British willingness to relax
some Of the fiscal restrictions i'm
posed on the mideaStern king
dom when the oil properties, built
up over so years and controlled
by the British government, were
lnationalized last year.

the Japanese invaded Mancnu-
ria and the Democrats invaded
Washington has been a period
OF change as rapid and violent
as any in our history.
The forces that demanded
change shattered many socie-
ties. We have contained within
the American system of demo-
cratic government, popular con-
troll and civil liberties. There
has been no break in the con-
tinuity Of our institutions. The
United States has held to the
course Of development which it
has been following for $50
years. Now this triumph of
stability in . time of world
revolution was not accom-
plished by pretending that
there were shortcuts to safety,
to prosperity, to freedom or
social justice, or that they could
be bought at q discount. And
we must not minimize the diff
ficulties or the dangers now in
the presidential campaign year.
I say this to you in conclusion
because I would not have you
think that I believe that all
there is to good Government is
honesty and efficiency. These
are only means to an end. In
the tragic days of Mussolini,
the trains in Italy ran on time
as never before and I am told
in their way. their horrible way,
that the Nazi concentration
system in Germany was a model
of horrible efficiency. The really
basic thing in Government is
policy. Bad administration, to
be sure, can destroy good policy,
but good administration can
never save bad policy. So what
I beg of you to ponder in all
your governmental judgment is
not just how to do a job, but,
and far more important, what
to do and If you can find q man
who knows both what to do
and how to do it, well, you are
very lucky, indeed.

years remorsefully seek to repair
the deficiency by talking loudly
in the fourth year about the
importance Of electing the right
man-our man-to the highest
public Office of all. # the peo-
pie at large can only be brought
to understand the wisdom of
what we are shouting and elect
our man, then the Nation will
be safe for at least four years
more. We have discharged our
responsibilities as citizens, q
little tardily perhaps, but never
thelesS adequately and effec-
lively. Then we can turn exclu-
sively to other concerns until
the time rolls around again and
we must clamorously assure the
national salvation.
Now. I say we must rid our
selves of the easy notion that
the right man in one job solves
all Of our problems. We need to
level out this sharp but narrow
peak Of citizens to enter in poll
tics and Government in presi-
dental years with the long and
deep valley Of apathy that lies
in between. There are other pitt
falls to be found in our tradi-
tional habits of thinking about
politics and about party leaders.
We like to reduce complex issues
to simple slogans. Better still,
we like to deal in personalities
to the exclusion Of issues. And
to the extent we must unavoid-
ably get into issues at all, we
like to weave them all into a
simple sort of brightly colored
cloak which will cover our man
completely and distinguish him
clearly from his competitors.
This creates the comfortable de-
lusion that we have not subordi-
mated principles and personali-
ties and that we know exactly
where our man stands on every
thing. Most Importantly, it lends
itself beautifully to the oversim-
plified kind of argument we love
so much in which we can throw
around freely the sharp, short
and fighting and meaningless
words like liberal, conservative,
leftist, rightiSt, Socialist, Fascist,
Communist and all of their
Shopworn and barren brood.
These are all conventions which
afflict the layman as well as the
party professionals.
