Hartman, Kefauver, Stevenson and
Barkley-they are all of a pattern,
completely New Deal and Fair Deal.
And say so. What this means is that
the millions of Democrats who are
and have been for a long time-un-
happy about the socialistic direction
in which the party has been headed
for nearly twenty years; who are
deeply disturbed by the appalling con-
dition of the national finances; who
are sickened by the widespread cor
ruption that has been revealed in the
Truman Administration, again are
going to have no choice in November
except to stay home or vote for the
Republican candidate

Other component parts of the
formula are the Negro vote in the
pivotal states of the North and Mid

subsidy demands have been so freely
granted as to cause some farm lead

they somewhat shakily hope will pull
them through once more. The basis of
this formula is the gigantic Federal
job-holding machine to which are
now attached more than 100000 job
holders. This is a tremendous voting
force potent in nearly every state. To
it must be added the vote of organized
labor, the bosses of which have be-
come dominant in the Democratic
party nationally and are close
personally and politically to the Presi-
dent.

And the reverse of that is true of
Mr.. Truman regarding Republican
candidates and platforms. Not many
Democrats, even in public life, are
willing to go that far. In the South
many stanch party men have made it
plain they will revolt if the candidate
and the platform are genuinely of
fensive to them. But the present as
pirants for the presidential nominal
ton excepting Senator RusselD have
no scruples about taking the dose
again, though developments of the
last four years obviously have made
it more obnoxious than before But
there just isn't anything for them to
do save to swallow the whole nauseous
mess. They have no choice.

Victims Dig Out
From Tornado

NEW ORLEANS, April 7 (IN-
S)- Residents of Louisiana, Ala
bama and Florida were digging out
today from debris left by a series
of tornadoes which ripped through
the tri-state area killing seven per-
sons and injuring 81 others.
Property damage is believed to
have exceeded one million dollars.
Hardest hit was southern Louis
lana, where all the deaths occur
red. Four members of one family
were killed and "a others injured
in Arnaudville, near Opelousas.
The New Orleans weather .bu-
reau said its instruments for mea-
surfing the wind velocity failed,
but estimated the speed at up to
200 miles an hour.
The twisters struck yesterday
just two weeks after a series of
tornadoes caused more than 220
deaths in Arkansas, Tennessee,
Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama and
Kentucky.
Residents of one county hit by
the black twisters considered them
selves lucky. Parts of the roof and
walls of an elementary and high
school in MobileC County, Ala, were
blown away-but the school was
empty because of a holiday per-
hitting teachers to attend a meet

would create such a feeling Of

Constantine Brown:

In the heat Of convention

gree Of Importance of airpower
to the defense of this country
and its allies is being cut to
At the cloth of the different
political contenders. It has been
said with a wealth Of. logical
arguments that nobody can

power alone. That is as true as
day follows night. But it is
equally true that we are sure
to lose a war. without even
fighting it, unless we have an
Air Force far stronger than we
possess today.
What the proponents Of a
powerful Air Force contend is
that the main problem which
faces America and its allies is
the defense Of their lands. They
cannot hope to match the
ground force strength Of the
U. s. S. r. and her vassals for
an unforeseeable time. If the
fondest hopes Of the Western
coalition are fulfilled by the end
Of next year the NATO may

available in the Far East-part
Of which has been fighting the
American and allied troops in
Korea since the fall Of 1856
is not included in the total
enemy estimates.
American and allied military
and political spokesmen have
repeatedly stated that the rea-
son the u. S. 8. r. has avoided
q military campaign in the West
has been the fear of retaliation
by the United States with atomic
bomb attacks. This was in
telligent speculation two years
ago. Today it is merely wishful
thinking. Our advantage has
already been greatly diminished
not only because the Muscovites
are also producing that dread
missile in quantities. but also
because the bomb must be taken
over to the enemy's territory in
heavy bomber planes. We have
only a limited number Of such
planes.
The Russians have worked
hard and created a jet fighter
force which would inflict heavy
losses in the event Of an Ameri-
can counter -attack. According
to estimates offered by Air Force
officers at hearings before the
Armed Services Committees Of
both houses, the Russians today
have no less than 10000 planes

Without the support Of those

Labor is beginning to show

CHICAGO, July S.-One test
vote doesn't make q nomina-
ton. but one test vote does
show not only which way the
wind blows but the strength Of
its blow.
What the first balloting on
the change in the rules did
show is that a "Stop-Taft" COM
bination does exist at the Re-
publican National Convention.
This doesn't necessarily mean
that the same combination Is
ro-EiSenhower.
The margin between the two
sides was only ITO, and thus q
change Of IS votes or there
abouts would completely alter
the situation. This tends to
encourage those delegations
which hope for a compromise
candidate and will hold of
from Ike. It means the con-
vention may require three or
four ballots to exhaust the
hopes and aspirations Of the
compromise candidate propo-
nents.
This much is sure-the Taft
managers made a mistake in
strategy and showed themselves
far less agile than had been
believed an experienced group
Of professional politicians would
be. The Taft strategy should
have been to get gracefully be-
hind the compromise resolu-
ton offered by the Eisenhower
forces, and this would not have
given either side the prestige
Of a victory.
As 1t is, many delegates here
and large segments Of the public
will Jump to the erroneous con-
clusion that the Eisenhower
forces have attained a majority
Of the convention which can
be translated into q victory for
Ike.
The truth is the issue was one
on which the convention could
not afford to record itself as
favoring the viewpoint so erro-
neously championed by the Taft
men-that contested delegates
whose credentials were being
challenged could sit in judg-
ment on the rolls of the con-
vention. not only on their own
cases but the cases Of other
contested delegations.
It will be noted that the Taft

course the President has fol-

mean nothing else-unleSs at
one stage he had hoped to
throw the nomination to Adlai
Stevenson and had changed his
mind only on learning that the
