many parts Of the world. Indeed, work
ing formula for such q process has been
envisioned by some as "a more effective
weapon in the cold war than any yet
imagined"
Actually, there is genuine concern In
our own country about the water supply
Of the future, and 1t is primarily with
this in mind that the House has author
lied continued research. Our growing
population, accompanied by industrial
and agricultural expansion, is creating
constantly greater demands on our water
resources Some success already has at
tended experiments In purifying saline
waters but most of the effort thus far has
been at the laboratory level The House
action would permit construction Of pilot
plants for experimentation In different
locations and circumstances. One objec-
tive is to determine whether the processes
already devised can be expanded and re-
fined to become economically feasible.

Two-Sided Victory

The Democrats, now that the end Of
the Dixon-Yates contract seems to be in
sight,, are indulging, II anything, In a
ponticking than ever before. To read
some Of the comments interspersed with
their victory" claims, one would think
that 1t was fear of an imminent peni-
tentiary sentence which prompted the
President to order a review of the con-
tract.
The fact is that the Presidents de-
cision follows closely along lines forecast
on June Is by The Stars Gould Lincoln.
The city Of Memphis has announced that
it is going to build its own power plant.
If that is done, there will be no need for
the Dixon-Yates plant, and the contract
should be Cancelled. AS the President has
indicated, it would not have been signed
in the first place If Memphis had made
its announcement sooner. So, as matters
Stand-assuming no bout-faces-Mem-
phis will produce its own power, its con-
tract with iva will be Cancelled and iva
then will continue to supply the power
needed elsewhere for atomic energy in
, stallations.
Is this victory for the TVA-minded
Democrats? It Is, in the sense that the
Dixon Yates private utility will not move
into what they regard as IVA territory.
. There is ample room to doubt, however,
that it will prove to be much of vote
getting victory in 1856.
It should also be kept in mind that
the President, in sense, has won VIC
tory, too The Democrats wanted to
solve the power shortage at Memphis by
having iva build new steam plant at
Fulton, Tenn. The new plant would have
supplied the atomic energy power and
IVA would have continued to sell power
to Memphis. The President opposed this
because he did not want the Government
to spend around $100 million, and be-
cause it would expand iva beyond its
geographical area. The Memphis deci-
sion enables him to win these points So
what it all comes down to is that Dixon
Yates presumably will be out of the pic
ture, IVA will lose customer and the
Fulton plant will not be built. It can
hardly be said that this represents
clear-cut victory for anyone.

THE GAME OF POLITICS
Butler as q Breach Healer
By FRANK R. KENT

Until recently one Of the
favorite Democratic criticisms
Of the President has concerned
itself with his lack Of political
knowledge and experience. OF
course, Gen. Eisenhower never
pretended to be q politician
but 1t is o little difiicult to
think Of any really grevous
political blunder he has COM
mitted.
AS q matter of fact, he
seems to have handled what
was known as the Mccarthy
menace" so well that Senator
McCarthy's political influence
has dwindled almost to the
vanishing point. AS to the
differences between the Presi-
dent and the Republican Sem
ate leader. Senator Knowland
Of California. they are not such
as to threaten personal rela-
tions. Senator Knowland is
q man Of character and ability.
He has q mind Of his own
the expression Of which does
not detract from the strong
support he gives to the Eisen-
hover program in domestic
affairs. In the main the
President now has almost COM
pletely united party support
in Congress plus support from
a vast number Of Democratic
men and women throughout
the country.
Confusion Alleged
In the matter Of practical
politics, the Democrats. at the
moment. seem so much more
humble puppyish and confused
that claimed Democratic SUI
periority in this field has be-
come absurd. This has been
well demonstrated by National
Chairman Paul Butler, who
succeeded Stephen Mitchell
some months ago. At no time
was there any serious con-
tention that Mr.. Mitchell was
q success as a party leader or
spokesman. However, certainly
as a 'harmonizer" he rates a
little better than Mr.. Butler.
To be sure, both are proteges
Of Adlai Stvenson. But neither
Mr.. Mitchell nor Mr.. Butler
has done anything to
strengthen their hero since his
candidacy for denomination
became transparent. !.
Since Mr.. Butler has been
at the helm Of the Democratic
committee, though he has
travelled more than 10000
miles, made many speeches
and ran up quite an expense
account, the really influential
party leaders, in Congress and
out, take q very dim view Of his
achievements. Actually, they
regard his attempt to heal the
party wounds as a joke. Ac-
tually, there is considerable
evidence that his efforts. to
"harmonize" discordant ele-
ments in several States have
widened the breach, and in
creased factional feeling in
stead of bridging the gap"
and restoring harmony"
Certainly this seems true of
his recent swing through South
and West. For example, in
California he was reported in

The prohibitive injunction
lifted above these paragraphs
is the most ubiquitous sign on
all the American network of
highways. That warning to
the harried driver behind the
steering wheel means-Don't
park here. Keep going. Frown-
ing prisoners peering through
the transparent windshield
share the futile feeling of
Noah's dove as it was COM
PEELED to return to the Ark be-
cause it could find no place on
the flooded earth to park.
Now "No Parking" signs
suggest not just the regula-
tions of the street, but also
the law of the universe. In
"Bleak House." Charles Dick

who was inclined to step out of

order to enjoy a moment Of

a-moving, sir" cries poor 10.
wiping away his grimy tears
with his arm. "I've always
beeh a-moving on and on, ever
since I was born" 1t seemed a
harsh decree to push the
wanderer on when all he
craved for was some haven
of rest. But movement is the
law of life.
u A*
Constantly, a hundred voices
tell every one of us that we
must move on or be put to
death. Nature seems terribly
afraid that we shall stand still
and fail to observe the sign

not park on his wide acres. no

Recently a United States
Senator was speaking to a
group of his colleagues about
life's deepest meaning. He was
warning them Of the danger of
seeking, in the intellectual
and spiritual realm, some al
Turing place where one could
stop and be at ease. He re-
minded his fellow lawmakers
that If water rests. it stag

In God We Trust

In reference to Harold II.

We Trust" the slogan which
is to be applied to our currency
as indicated in Bill H. r. 619. I
would like to comment and
acknowledge my wholehearted
support for his position against
this legislation.
The First Amendment to the
Constitution was defined, first
in the Everson Decision, and
later reaffirmed by citation and
direct quotation in the McCol-
lum Decision. and the United
States Supreme Court has
written a minimum definition
Of the meaning and intent of
the First Amendment In t::s
following words:
"The establishment of relig-
ion clause Of the First Amend

neither Georgia nor Tennessee

Bad Luck Of Chairman
In some States visited by the
chairman his failure to inspire
the Democratic cohorts was
a matter Of bad luck rather
than bad judgment. For ex-
ample. 1t was not his fault
that he broke his glassss in
Georgia just before he had
to read his prepared speech.
And. it was a piece Of misfor-
tune rather than a plot that
at one Of the $10-a-plate din
ners in Mississippi, q careless
waiter spilled four glasses Of
milk over him. Nevertheless.
what he did in Maryland could
not be attributed to bad luck.
The only explanation there
was stupidity He had gone

One Of his political assets is
that, more than anyone else,
he was instrumental In get

was openly for Eisenhower In
1852. but so were many thou

Demo ocrats. Logically, he
would seem the most persua-
sive candidate. to lead these
indispensable Democrats back
into the party. Yet, what did
Chairman Butler do when he
looked all the aspirants over
and pleaded for harmony?
He then declared that while
