Doris FIeeson-

Adlai Stevenson has been
formally launched as a Demo-
cratic candidate for President
in 1856 by Governor-elect Rob-
ert Meyner of New Jersey. In
a joint press conference with
Mr.. Stevenson, Mr.. Meyner
said New Jersey would support
him as it did in 1852 because
"he is the best candidate for
the job"
Two things take this out of
the category of ''the customary
pleasantries" in which Mr..
Stevenson modestly, though
not very vehemently, sought to
place it.
One is that Governor -elect
Meyner did it deliberately,
having made up mis- mind as a
result of his own election that
the country wants the Steven
son type of leadership.
The other is that he is in a
position to deliver. He will start
a four-year term next month
which almost automatically
puts him in control of the
substantial New Jersey dele
CATION to the national con-
vention.
The Meyner attitude may
come as something of a shock
to two other Democratic hope
fuls, Senators Estes Kefauver
of Tennessee and John r. Ken
nedy of Massachusetts. who
campaigned for him we'll and
faithfully. Mr.. Stevenson did
not enter the State because
Mr.. Meyner planned it that
way.

The new Governor did not
view the New Jersey election
as proper test of national
sentiment since it is normally
Republican. with the present
Governor, both Senators and
nine out of IA Representatives
all members of the G. o. P.
Hence he was unwilling to put
the Stevenson prestige in the
scale. He did think he had a
good issue in crime and cor
ruption. This he rode hard and
Senator Kefauver's help espe-
cially was natural for it.
He also had important as
sistance from such Stevenson
hackers as Dwight Palmer of
the General Cable Co., a Demo-
cratic financia. angel, and
Archibald S. Alexander, for
merly Undersecretary of the
Army. With Meyner, they were
active in I'll be New Jersey dele
cation which wa the second
to come out for Stevenson at
Chicago in 1852.
Having won handily, the
Governor-elect arranged to
confer with the former Gov
ernor of Illinois. Conveniently
their conference was here since
Mr.. Stevenson spent the
Thanksgiving holiday near
Baltimore with his sons. Pre-
sented with the sounding board
of the Washington press and
radio, Mr.. Meyner utilized it
with the aforesaid results.

his contracts with other
unions SO that they may not
close down his plant is just as
inviolate.
There is no constitutional
right to call a strike or to
persuade members of unions
to quit work. A concerted ac-
ton by union officers to order
a work stoppage is not in
herent in the Constitution.
The courts have decided this
when the Government has
seized properties and ordered
strikers to return to work.
The right of unions to op-
crate at all and to order their
members to quit work is one
that only the laws of the land
have granted. It can be taken
away at any time that the
Supreme Court of the United
States may decide that a con-
spiracy to stop the newspapers
from publishing is violation
of the Bill of Rights of the
Constitution itself.
The New York newspaper
strike emphasizes the need for
amendments to the antitrust
laws taking away from the
unions their present immunity
from suit. They can be made
amenable to law whenever
they exercise monopoly power

authority into other unions
and other lines of business. No

silent on what has just
happened in New York and

to be a champion of constitu-
tional rights in America.

LEGION PLANS
MEMORIAL ROSE
GARDEN IN PARK

Construction of memorial rose
garden in Armory Park, Monroe
Street, will be started next week
by members of the sponsoring
organization, Port Clinton's Amer
lean Legion Post 113.
To honor the memories of the
men who have given their Lives
while in service of our country
the garden will be constructed of
stone and shaped as a star-in
tribute to the Ottawa County
Chapter, Gold Star Mothers of
America.
Parents, widows, children or
friends of deceased veterans are
being invited to purchase roses
for planting in the garden. Each
plant will be appropriately mark
ed for the individual hero.
Only tea roses, selected due to
the fact that they bloom all sum-
mer, will be permitted in the gar
den. Roses will be planted in
March so that they will be in
bloom by Decoration Day, when
the garden will be appropriately
dedicated.
Those wishing to order roses
for planting in the memorial gar
den should contact James Ellen
berger, 419 West Third Street, as
soon as possible.
Legionnaires in charge of the
project include William Crohen,
James Ellenberger, Harold Worst,
Delbert Anderson, Guy Lotridge,
and Ray Sperber, chairman.
Carrying out the gold star mo-
tiff, gold and yellow roses will be
planted around the perimeter OF
the star-shaped garden. Deep red
roses will be planted in the cen
ter of the star with lighter shades
fading towards the gold blooms.
