Presidential

WASHINGTON R-Gov. Adlai E.
Stevenson of Illinois frightened his
command over his presidential
drive today, with President Tru-
man ready to take campaign or
derS.
AS a result of an historic-if
somewhat indecisive-White House
conference Tuesday. Stevenson had
assurances he could count on Tru-
man as a subordinate member of
his team.
And it was strictly up to the
Democratic presidential nominee
as to when and where he would
insert Truman in the lineup. That
was to be determined later in line
with Humans statement that de
tails will be worked out at a later
date"
The President was quoted by an
authoritative source as offering to
undertake a whistle stop tour for
the Democratic ticket, but as tell
ing Stevenson:
"You are the one who has got
to run the campaign-it is up to
you"
Stevenson apparently made no
direct reply.
But some of his friends believe
about the last thing he now wants
the President TO do is TO take to
the whistle stops. since any such
move might distract attention from
the nominees own efforts TO carry
his cause TO the country.

Business
Mirror
By SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R- Weather show
cred money this summer into the
pockets of makers of air condition
ers. Now they are raising their
production sights for next year by
80 to 100 per cent.
Sizzling days brought such rush
of customers for room coolers that
most manufacturers were quickly
sold out for the rest of the season.
Had they guessed how hot it was
to be, they would have made more
room air conditioners, and doubt
less would have sold them, and
made still more money.
A cool summer next year could
spoil their plans. But most of them
insist the market for air condition
ing of homes is a growing one,
and that they will sell more next
year than this, no matter what
kind of summer it turns out to be.
Sales of room air conditioners
in 1851 are put at 100000. This
years sales are estimated at $780,
600. Harold B. Donley, general
room cooler department, predicts
that next year industry sales will
reach 400, 900 units, an increase of
IA per cent. Some others in the
field think his figure too low.
He says General Electric itself
plans to boost production by IS
per cent next year. And he be-
ieves that by 1861 one million
room air conditionerS a year will
be sold, mostly for home use.
Donley stresses that manufacture
ers are faced with the problem Of
a relatively short selling season
during hot weather, while produc-
ton plans must be made far in ad-
vance by using a "cryStal ball to
anticipate summer temperatures. "
On the other hand, Morton L.
Clark, president of Universal Ma
jor Electric Appliances, Inc, Lima,
Ohio, insists there is a year-around
market for air conditioners-useful
in winter to filter smoke and dust
from the air. Even if next summer
isn't the sizzler this one has been,
he predicts a record market in
1853 and plans to step up produc-
ton sharply. He says he already
has advance orders for nearly TO-
600 units.
Feeders Quigan Corp. talks of
doubling its output of coolers next
year. Crosley considers a IS per
cent increase. Carrier predicts a
so per cent sales increase. Philco,
York, and Radio Corp. of America
also have increased production in
the planning stage.
Westinghouse, which makes
larger units than room coolers, ex-
poets even better sales next year.
Servel is stepping up output of its
year around conditioner Cooling
and heating), for homes, and may
have a room unit in the highly
competitive market.
Some manufacturers are working
on room coolers that can double
in winter by furnishing additional
heat for the room in which they
are located - doing for one room
what the large conditioners do for
an entire house.
Color and design of room coolers
will become more important.

lords problems. My landlord, for
instance, is always complaining to
me that he is losing money on my
house because the rent office won't
allow him to charge enough rent.
He tells me he can't do the ne
cessary work to keep the house
up and may have to sell it unless
1 either pay him more money than
the maximum rent you have set
or pay for repairs and upkeep out
of my pocket. / want to be fair
about this so what should I do?
A. Your landlord is making the
same complaint that we have
heard many times from some pro-
perty owners and his statements
are completely without foundation.
In the first place, the rent laws
specifically allow landlords to Pc
tition for and receive increases in
their maximum rents If they can
show they are not receiving a fair
net profit on their rental property.
Your landlord could have asked for
such an increase long ago if he
were not receiving a fair. profit.
You should never pay more than
the legal maximum rent but in
stead, should advise your land
lord to 60 to the rent office and
discuss his problems there. II he
is entitled to an increase in maxi
mum rent he will get it. You
should also not pay for repairs and
normal upkeep of the house in
addition to the maximum rent.

NOTES
Bv BOB THOMAS

pOuIlCdI cOuVSutlOuS 4OOh w 1OA-
eigners?
Through what is usually referred
to as the miracle of television,
some go million Americans this
year got to see what goes on at
presidential nominating conven-
tons. 1t was an eye-opener to many
citizens, but even more so to those
not familiar withour political ira
dition.
One of these is Richard Burton,
brilliant young (26) British actor
who was imported to play opposite
Olivia de Havilland in "My Cousin
Rachel" Like most everybody else
in TV area, he was glued to his
set during the Chicago confabs.
So I asked him for his impressions
of these peculiarly American ritu-
ais.
"Well, it was quite an eye-opener
to me-" he began. 81 guess l ex-
pected some very solemn men in
dark suits to sit around and discuss
important issues on very lofty
plane. Instead, / saw a hullabaloo
with people running around wildly.
It was an amazing show.
'The oratory, thought, was old
fashioned. Most of the speakers
shouted at the audience and
pounded their fists. 1t was refresh
ing when young lawyer got up
in the Republican convention and
merely conversed with the audi
ence. Suddenly everybody started
listening to his speech. think
television will make that kind of
delivery necessary in future politi-
cal contests.
81 would think there would be
a change in the demonstrations
for candidates. Nearly all of them
were obviously staged. Only once
in a great while would there be
a really spontaneous reaction from
the crowd"
Burton remarked that there was
nothing in the English political
scene that matched the hoopla of
the national conventions.
"The two major parties have
their meetings." he said. but they
are rather quiet affairs. Of course,
our Parliament was pretty lively
when the Irish were in it. They
were always making demonstra-
tons and threatening to hang the
king and so forth. Things have
quoted down since the Irish got
their independence and left Parlia-
ment."
The actor added that television
has not made much impact on
British politics.
''Not enough people have sets"
he explained. Whenever Churchill
wants to talk, he has to ask Attlee,
who is allowed equal time on the
air. That is, unless Churchill is

versial matter such as the history
of Marlborough, which he hasn't as
yet.
81 suppose the Laborites would
just as soon keep the Conservatives
off the air, because the Conserva-
tives are such better takers. Chur-
chill is superb, of course, and Eden
is very good. The other side has
no one to compare. / might add
that I'm a Socialist myself"
Burton was born in the coal min
ing region of South Wales. He was
one of 10 children, and his father
and six brothers worked in the
mines. All except two brothers
have gone on to other walks of
life. The actors father became a
school teacher and has taught
drama every summer since 1899

ment on the series of columns that
Bill Meyers is doing now. Each
week he has been writing up one
of our native flowers. Those of us
who live here seldom pay any at

island. However, it is one of the
main attractions to tourists.
Marie Cappick's article on herbs
and their medicinal value was
another outstanding job. Probably
no other one person on this rock

to write about it as Miss Cappick.
