DisqruntIed With Democrats

It Is difficult to assume that leaders
OF the Democratic Party would have
the American voter accept their nominee
and platform without first having proved
that they have kept faith and have been
honest in their endeavor.
AS things now stand, the sincerity of
various members of the party is ques-
tionable. In that regard, statements
were made by our President from time
to time that he expected to remain
neutral in the selection of a nominee.
Yet, the eyes of the American people
cannot discount his Shrewd timing of
his arrival in Chicago during the bal
loting and the convenient recess called
in the midst of same in order that he
might call his forces together and neatly
arrange the completion of the manu-
factured" draft of his hand-picked
candidate for presidential nomination.
Also worthy of note is the statement
OF Chairman Mckinney made recently
on television program. This was to
the effect that mo one aspiring to the
nomination would and should receive
1t without first having shown their de-
termination by openly working for it,"
Is 1t then to be concluded that mere
statements such as II do not wish to
rum" II am a candidate for no Office
other than Governor" and II will shoot
myself if nominated" be considered
justifiable and comparable to the term,
work?
1t is hardly commendable to the party
which advocates strong civil rights
program to show such utter disdain and
disregard for the will of the people as
expressed In the "eyewash" primaries
Such an unjust and un-American at
titude hardly merits the vote of an
average American.

The woman who signs herself Fright
ened" in The Sunday Star says II have
been Democrat all my life." but refers
to the Democrats as "they" and the Re-
publicans as "we." Why is it Repub-
llcans are always saying they are
Democrats they ashamed to admit,
they are Republicans?
AS to leg Of lamb being twice the 1899
price-a lot of people have money to buy
now. Being something of farmer my
self and, keeping up with farm prices
and production, remember thatathe
farmer sometimes found his lamb had
turned into sheep before he could
get anybody to buy it. back in 1899. AS
to high prices, read the record of the
3Oth Congress. Democrats shouted
themselves hoarse trying to tell the
Congress that we must keep price con-
troll If we were to avoid runaway prices.
1t seems we were told tlnatssupply and
demand would prevent that if prices
were permitted to seek their own level.
Well-and here we are-at an all-time-
level.
] too, am frightened! I'm frightened
because it looks a little like the Re-
publicans have pretty good chance of
coming back into power. Memories are
short! I'm frightened that young people
may again experience what I expert

publican rule. I worked for $40 a
month and then at the end of the
month was often told. Sorry I can't

Keep 1t CIeon-if Possible

General Eisenhower has taken his stand for
q clean campaign. He has said that appeals to
prejudice and bigotry have no place in America %
AS far as he is concerned he will "rebuke and
eensure" attempts to subvert the American ira
dition by resorting to such appeals
On the other side of the political fence,
Senator Mike Monroney Of Oklahoma has taken
similar stand Senator Monroney, who heads
up the Democratic speakers bureau, says: I'VE
intend to present our case for Governor Stevenson
and other Democratic candidates clearly con-
eisely and honestly, without demagoguery or
smear and without personal attack"
If Governor Stevenson concurs, as he
undoubtedly does, the country is pretty well
assured of a clean campaign at the higher
electioneering levels But that has always been
more or less the case. The dirty work, the eye
gouging and the oratorical brass knuckles have
eustomarily been reserved for those who function
at the lower levels And this years campaign
has shown signs of being no exception to the rule
Maryland's Governor McKeldin, who put
General Eisenhower in nomination. has been
trying to make some political capital out of the
fact that Governor Stevenson once gave
deposition in which he stated that prior to 1948
he had not heard Of Alger Hiss Communist
afdliations, and that Hiss as far as he knew, had
q good reputation. This, of course, was before
Hiss had been convicted
At an even lower level was the recent speech
by Senator Dirksen of Illinois in which he
denounced the "lavendar lads" in the State
Departments dubious refinement Of the mass
smear technique. A certain amount OF this sort
Of politicking probably is unavoidable in
presidential campaign It is not going to attract
the votes that the Republicans will need in order
to wn however, and it is technique which
appeals to that prejudice and bigotry which
General Eisenhower has repudiated.
This is not to suggest that the Republicans
are the sole offenders in this respect. Democrats
in the past have tried just as hard to Gull votes
from appeals directed to the prejudices of the
voters, and no doubt they will be guilty of the
same offense this time. But If both presidential
candidates will set the example, and If they will
actually crack down on those among their
supporters who go astray, the gutter type Of
politics can at least be held to minimum this
year.

NAACP's Attitude

The National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored Peoples censure
OF Commissioner Donohue for his re-
fusal to set up a citizens Fair En-
ployment Practices Commission for the
District government is indeed indica-
tive Of the character eof this organi-
zation.
Both pro-segregationists and anti-seg-
regationists are aware of the fact that
Commissioner Donohue is and has been
a champion of the desires Of District
colored people.
Perhaps Commissioner Donohue will
now realize that to satisfy the cravings
OF this minority group is futile. They
neither admire nor respect him for his
past actions on their behalf.

An Alliance of Friendship

The ANUS powers-Australia, New Zealand
and the United States-have completed first
step as specified in their tripartite security pact
in setting up permanent council authorized at
all times to consider questions involving the
common defense.
The formulating Of this relationship among
these three nations is in actuality merely con-
tinuance of close and friendly association which
reached its peak effectiveness In World war IL
and has never since really lapsed.
When the peace and security treaties with
japan were being negotiated it was recognized,
and there seemed no concealment Of the fact at
that time, that the Philippines, Australia ana
New Zealand all had some concern about how
that former enemy power might choose to exercise
its regained sovereignty. Since the japanese
capacity in either peace or war is far greater
than that of these other three countries, the
questioning was not illogical. The solution then
proposed by the American Government was
series of three separate pacts expressing the
mutual security interests of the United States
with Japan, with the Philippines and with the
two members of the British Commonwealth.
In testifying on behalf of ratification of the
pacts, their principal architect, John Foster
Dulles, told the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee:
"Those separate pacts are not to be deemed
the last best word on the subject. contemplate
there should be further evolution IN that area"
Meanwhile, he added, "It is highly appropriate
that not only our friends but our potential
enemies should learn that our concern with
Europe, evidenced by the North Atlantic Treaty.
and our concern with Japan in no sense implies
any lack of concern for our Pacific Allies OF
World War II"
suspicion that seems to have arisen in \
certain British quarters that the ANUS pact
implies or threatens any loosening of the COM
monwealth ties appears completely unrealistic
Australia and New Zealand have come OF age
politically without displaying any slightest sign
Of restlessness within the commonwealth. Their
traditions their economies and many other
aspects of their lives are tied closely to Britain
and their future undoubtedly will remain so.
From the American standpoint, also, 1t would be
completely illogical to seek disruption Of the
bonds between the Atlantic and Pacific terminals
Of commonwealth.
1t is even more absurd, of course, to honor
the Communist mouthings that the network OF
Pacific pacts is merely pattern for aggression
or is being imposed upon unwilling peoples The
menace of Communist imperialism is recognized
as the greatest in the Pacifc-Far Eastern area
today-the ANUS Council communique so
specified-just as it is in the European-Middle
Eastern area. In Moscow's designs and actions
alone may be found the real reasons for alliances
among the free nations. And in Soviet fear of
the strength and honor of these alliances Of
free nations may be found the real reasons
for Moscows distorted interpretations and
accusations.

Star Of the picture taken Of the four
bright objects seen in the sky by Coast
Guard cameraman in Salem, Mass, last
month, the "saucers" seem definitely to
be something more than Pigments of the
imagination.
Since our present-day jets fly so much
faster than non-jets, it seems reasonable
to me to believe that some one has in
vented superjet, or some other kind
Of guided missile. which surpasses the
jets as much as, if not more than, the
jets surpass the non-jets.
I hope that our observers, both official
and unofficial, will continue their faith
full watches. and that this longstanding
mystery will soon be solved It seems to
me to be worthy of serious and sustained
study.

Signal for Soucers?
Also Frightened.

The Air Force, after well-reasoned
conclusions that flying saucers present
no threat to safety, now also openly
admits that they do not know what the
saucers are. This is big step forward.
Now being freed from our apprehen-
sion and also from the fear of ridicule
for having serious interest in this phe-
nomena we are ready for the next step.
Many saucer researchers all over the
country are convinced that the saucers
are interplanetary in nature What is
to be lost by trying to signal them? 1t
has been suggested that the FEC allot

good may be in the offing.
