THE POLITICAL MILL
Will 1t Be Hartman or Stevenson?
BY GOULD LINCOLN

support for denomination Is
undeniable. The big obstacle
which he confronts, however, is
that he was Overwhelmingly
defeated by Mr.. Eisenhower in
1872 fact which many
Democrats are mulling over
even now, among them other
potential presidential nominees
and their supporters. Steven
son fans are seeking now to
draw an analogy between the
coming campaign and that CT
l948, when Mr.. Truman de-
feated former Gov. Dewey Of
New York. In 1948, however,
Gov. Dewey was. as Mr..
Stevenson is today, a previ-
ously defeated candidate.
OF all the probable candi-
dates for the Democratic pres
idental nomination attending
the Rayburn dinner-outside
of Mr.. StevenSon-Gov. w. Az
GRILL Hartman of New York
was the most eagerly scanned.
The New Yorker won a signifi-
cant victory last November,
when he took over as chief
executive of the Empire State
after II years of Republican
rule. Democratic leaders who
helped to put across Gov. Har-
rirnanS victory are already
laying their plans to put him
in the White House. It's a
good gamble for them. If Gov.
Hartman should be nomin-
ated and lose, he will still con-
tinue for another two years as
Governor of New York. The
New York Governor was an
early guest here, and he was a
guest at the many parties
given during the two days
preceding the Rayburn dinner.
Hartman a Possibility
The Hartman situation
today is just another of the
curious quirks which happen
in the field of politics. In 1852.
Mr.. Hartman was New York's
favorite-son candidate for the
presidential nomination. No
one believed he had a serious
chance. He was a rallying post
to keep the big New York dele
cation to the Democratic Ma e.
tional Convention in line until
it decided which way to Jump.
At that time Mr.. Hartman
had never been elected to
office. Now he holds one of the
most important elective jobs
in the country. Whether he
can be sold to the country is
still an undetermined question.
II his record as Governor is
good in the most populous
State in the Union during the
next year, he is going to be a
tough man to defeat for the
Democratic presidential NOM
nation.

@. What subjects are to be
studied by scientists during
the coming Geophysical Year,
1857 '58?-E, d.
A. Scientists of many ma
tons will make a concerted eff
fort to obtain an accurate
picture of our planet, a better
understanding of magnetic
storms and of coSrnis radia-
ton. They will study the
ionoSphere - the electrified
layers of the upper atmosphere
from which radio waves are
reflected back to earth-and
special attention will be given
to the aurora borealis. These
are some of the riddles of the
universe which representative
scientists from all over the
world will try to solve by pool
ing their efforts.
@. Are any of the American
woods completely resistant to
attack by termites?-A. S. G.
A. No native woods are abso-
lutely immune. Some, like &C.
dar and redwood. are less sus-
ceptible than pine or oak.
Homeowners are advised to
check their homes for termite
infestation once a year, pref
erably in the spring or sum-
mer. Termite activity is at its
greatest height in the early
spring.
@. The USS Forrestal is des-
ignated as eva SO. What do
these letters mean?-R. /.
A. Carrier Vessel Attack.
This immense ship is the first
OF a new class of atomic age
airplane carriers designed to
handle speedy jet planes. Two
sister ships are already in the
making: the Saratoga, which
is due of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard in 1855. and the Ranger,
which will Join the Forrestal
in 1856.

DR.. Albert Einstein

The impact of his thinking was on the
thinking of all men forever.
Even during the lifetime of Dr. Albert
EinStein his name had become a major
landmark in human history. For millen
NUNS to come, it is likely, explorers in all
fields of philosophy and science must take
their bearings from his monumental in
tellectual contribution.
Before EinStein all concepts of the
physical universe were naive--necessarily
so for they were framed within the limita
tions of human sensory capacity and the
innate structure of the human mind. He
broke down these barriers. He led the way
into a creation of multiple dimensions
hitherto only mystically postulated by
bards and prophets-which he was able to
demonstrate as realities.
DR.. EinStein is credited with saying,
probably quite apocryphally, that "only
about ten men in the world understood
what he was talking about" Space-time
continuumS and maSs-energy equivalences
certainly were beyond the comprehension
of the great mass of mankind. They still
are. But in two decades very consider
able group of brilliant intellects have been
able to follow him into the fantastic realm
of hyperdimenSional space and multiple
times, of only one of which man can be
physically aware
DR.. EinStein challenged common
sense" Many have done so. He proved
common sense completely misleading.
From his thinking there are bound to
come an endless line of physical accom-
pliShments for the good or i'll of mankind.
The atomic bomb is one of them-perhapS
a quite minor one in the long sweep of
history
At the most, however, these will be of
little significance compared with the major
result. He freed man of shackles of his
own perceptions-the greatest advance of
liberty achieved through all the ages.

The Center Wins in France

Although the voting was not heavy,
extremists of both the right and the left
suffered significant losses in the general
council elections in France during the past
week end. Center parties, including the
Radical Socialists of Premier Edgar Faure
and the Independent Republicans of For
eign Minister Antoine Pinay, improved
their position by winning 26.1 per cent of
the total vote as compared to 18.45 per
cent in the last such election, in 1949 The
general councils are local legislative bodies,
comparable to our State legislatures.
While foreign policy was not major
issue in the campaign at that political
level, there is encouragement to the West
ern alliance in the fact that the De Gaul-
lists, on the right, and the Communists
and their pro-leftist friends are continu-
ing to lose strength at the grass roots"
1t is, in each case, trend that has
been under way for several years. General
De Gaulles Rally of the French People,
for example, has been declining steadily
in influence since it held 121 seats in the
National Assembly in mid-l951. Many of
these members have left the party entirely
and even more have declined to follow
the generals advice" on assembly votes.
The Communists. while their party disci-
pline continues to be ri9id and effective,
appear to have been gradually losing pub
lie following since their record peak voting
strength in parliamentary election in
1916.
Actually, the stormiest issue In the
council campaign was the domestic one
of taxation. Under the French system the

FALLS CHURCH, Va.
Dear Sir:


1.-THE wasp has a bad repu-
tation. although largely unde-
served.
LAS I write, a specimen is
diligently seeking nourishment
in bouquet of forsythia on
the table beside me.
1.-THE other day I was climb
ing the stepladder to paint
under the caves of our back
porch.
Il thought a nest there was
free of wasps but as my head
came to the level of the nest
I spied two eyes of a sentinel.
They followed every move
I made. and my two much
larger eyes watched every
move that the wasp might
make, too.
1.-THE wielder of the brush
was not going to back down
at this stage. but was deter
mined to act quickly if need be.
There was no need of being
quick, however. but just care
full.
THE brush swept under the
nest right up to the stem by
which it was suspended, but
the greatest care was exercised
not to touch or jar it.
Nothing happened.
Mature endowed the wasp
with wisdom and forbearance.
Unlike some species of in
SectS. it was not spelling for
fight, a fight which would only
have resulted in the destruc-
ton of the nest and brood, as
well as the eventual loss of its
own life.
"A last word for these grace
full insects:
"One spring, on entering an
outbound Virginia bus near
Westover. I found its passen-
gers, teen-agers. on their way
home from school. in a state
of great cOmmotiOn.
THE cause, a lone and
stranded wasp. even more ex-
cited and panicky than the
youngsters.
I'm its confusion. it alighted
on my shirt bosom. The young
passengers stared in OPEN
mouthed wonderment.
Il allowed the wasp to crawl
at will until it headed for
tunnel-like opening between
two buttons of my shirt.
"Once between the cloth and
bare skin. the slightest pres
sure would have resulted in
defensive measures by the in
sect.
so I barred it's further
progress with my hand.
1T crawled all over my
fingers. perhaps enjoying the
warmth. The faces of my audi
ence betrayed the greatest
concern for my safety.
After little of this educa-
tional exhibition, ! thrust my
hand out of the window and
gave the wasp its much-cov-
eted freedom.
Il am convinced that the
young folks learned a good
lesson.
Very truly yours, w. F."
Templeton Jones experience
with wasps has been Just the
opposite.
Wherever they find Jones,
they sting him. 4

PEACEFUL ATOMS SCORE A
VICTORY

President Eisenhower first pro-
posed his "atoms-for-peace" pro-
gram to the United Nations General
Assembly, at which 1 was Dele
gate, in December, 1858. 1t was ac-
claimed throughout the free world,
but in the many disarmament dis
cussions that followed, the plan was
met by typical Communist obstruc-
tionisril. AS one diplomat said. the
Russians offered counter-proposals
which amounted to. Ban the bomb
and trust us Russians"
But the free nations pressed for
ward with serious plans TO utilize
atomic energy for the benefit OF
mankind, and on May 3rd Turkey
became the first country to sign
concrete agreement under the pro-
gram. Eight days later the Russians
announced new disarmament
plan. / was interested to see that
they added a proposal for countries

technical help" TO other countries
for peaceful purposes.
So the U.S.S.R. paid q reluctant
tribute to the strength Of American

How soon Col. Lane will join
