Lawyers Disagree

Reference is made to The

way. 1t is hoped that this reply
to Jean M. Boardman will re-
ceive equal treatment.
AS a practicing attorney IN
this city, I resent the attitude
and conduct of this member
Of an honorable profession.
Mr.. Boardman's intimation
that divorce attorneys are
probably better at arranging
reconciliations than the court
is wishful thinking. I hope
that the day will come when
they are at least in as good a
position as the courts to ar
range them, but Mr.. Board
man knows as well as the legal
profession that the courts
would be better equipped for
the task.
Perhaps Mr.. Boardman does
not feel that the basic unit of
our society is the family unit.
Perhaps he thinks it's wise and
proper to inform the judges OF
the Municipal Court that he
would advise any client to ig-
more a subpoena of the Do
nestle Relations Branch. Per-
haps Mr.. Boardman is a sage
counselor when he accuses
Judge Burnett Of trying To in
timidate him.
AS an attorney. / feel that
Mr.. Boardman was rude and
acting in an unlawyer-like
manner. / feel that he was
not acting in the best interests
Of the judicial system or the
profession OF which / am a
member. I feel too. that he
has acted contrary to the
spirit. if not the letter, Of the
Canons Of Professional Ethics
Of the American Bar Associ-
alton.
I do not have any divorce

tic Relations Branch Of the

Boardman that I viii do ali in

alton both in my Office and in

We note that Maryland's
Young Democrats have in
vited the Republicans Joe
Smith" to attend their Ocean
City convention.
We remind our fellow Mary
landerS. however, that nomi-
mating a candidate" for Office
without knowing more about
him than his name" could
be more careless than broad
minded. For example. we refer
them to an incident in Milton,
Wash, in 1888, when such
shenanigans by a member Of
their party resulted in voters
actually electing q mule to
Office.
According to the Associated
Press. the story went like this:
In 1898, the days of tremend-
Gus Democratic landslides.
Percy Walden, then Mayor of
Milton. Wash, declared that
voters did not know for whom
they were voting.
To prove his point he >bor-
rowed the name of a friends
mule, Boston Curtis" and en-
tered the animals name on the
ballot.
Sure enough. when the votes
were counted. Boston Curtis"
had been elected as a Demo-
crat precinct committeeman

Kefauver earlier this year.
Mr.. Maier had the backing Of
labor against Walstead and
probably will have the support
Of the labor leaders in the
Senate election. Mr.. Mater,
however. is not regarded as q
strong candidate against Sena-
tor Wiley.
AS is customary in Wiscon-
sin primary elections, the Re
publicans rolled up about 10
per cent of the total vote cast,
leaving some 80 per cent to the
Democrats. The De ocrats
poll many more votes when it
comes to the general election.
But. as of today, the outlook
for Republican victory is good.
President Eisenhower still has
a big following in the State.
The Republicans have NOM
mated Vernon Thompson for
Governor. regarded as a strong
candidate. And the Wisconsin
farmers are said to be in a
much better frame Of mind
than they were a year ago
so far as the Republican adj
n1inistration is concerned.
Democrats Plan Battle
The Democrats, however, are
expected to put up a hard bat
tie, particularly for their GU
bernatorial candidate, William
Proxmire. another young DEM
ocrat-who has been cam
paigning the State vigorously
for the last two years. He has
twice been defeated by Gov.
Kohler. But two years ago he
lost to Mr.. Kohler by a narrow
margin.
Presumably, the Republicans
will rally now to the support
of Senator Wiley in the race.
Mr.. Davis has already urged
his supporters to vote for
Senator Wiley. There has been
some discussion regarding a
possibility that Senator Wiley's
victory over Mr.. Davis was due
to Democrats crossing over to
the Republican primary - as
they are permitted to do in
sin-particularly as
Senator Wiley rolled up lead
in Milwaukee. There has been
no real evidence Of this to
date. however. Many Demo-
cratic contests for local Office
nominations took place in the
primary, which would tend to
keep the Democrats in their
own primary. Also, it is doubt
full that Democrats regarded
Senator Wiley as a weaker
candidate for them to oppose
than Mr.. Davis. And finally,
Milwaukee produced a large
Republican vote in the presi-
Dental primary early this
year.
Wisconsin, like most other
States. will be q battle-ground
in the coming campaign. But
1t still looks Republican. Only
a serious economic upheaval
or Illness Of the President is
likely to change the situation
and neither Is in prospect.

Goodbye to summer, good
bye. goodbye; good bye. good
bye, goodbye, goo-ood- bye.
So went the old song. 1t had
too many good-byes in it, but
those who heard it sung by the
right sort Of soprano will never
forget it.
Temp Jones recalls it best
from his childhood days, when
he heard 1t from the parlor Of
the summer cottage next door
at the seashore.
There is nothing quite so
good as the surf to give music
that extra something.
Every one knows how sweet
mandolin and guitar music
sounds over the water.
There is something of a
drone bass in the sound Of the
sea. 1t is music in itself. Surely
few sounds. of whatever nature,
make more of an appeal this
way. Provided, of course, that
it is your kind of music.
Not every one will so react.
Some find the beat of surf on a
sandy shore not to their liking
Dismal, they assert.
Probably they resent the
night singing Of mockingbirds,
too.
There is no accounting for
taste.
Goodbye to summer.
1t means the end Of noise,
to some extent, and the quiet,

THE POLITICAL MILL
Personal Victory for Wiley
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Wisconsin voters again have
demonstrated two things. First,
they are an independent breed.
Second, they are name" vot-
ers, particularly when they
have found a candidate with a
good name for doing things
for them. In the primary cleo
ton Tuesday, Senator Alexan-
der Wiley, running for a fourth
term, handily defeated Repre-
sentative Glenn r. Davis, who
had the backing of the Repub-
lican State organization-de-
MED to Senator Wiley.
Senator Wiley's renomina-
ton was a personal victory.
But it was more than that.
The veteran Senator, during
the last three and a half years,
has gone down the line for
the Eisenhower program, par
ticularly on foreign policy. He
is the ranking Republican on
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. and in the SD
Congress he was chairman of
the committee. He opposed the
so-called Bricker constitutional
amendment (which the Eisen-
hover administration opposed
designed to place some limits
on Executive international
agreements. He supported the
President on appropriations
for foreign aid. Further, while
Senator Joe Mccarthy re-
NAMED aloof from the sena-
torial tussle, Mccarthy sup
porters were against Senator
Wiley, and Senator Mccarthy
himself has been on the other
side in most of the foreign
policy votes.
What all this may hold for
Senator Mccarthy when he
seeks rendmination-as he is
expected to do-in 1858; re-
mains to be seen. So far, no
one among the Republicans
has announced he will seek
the Mccarthy Senate seat. But
friends of Gov. Walter Koh-
ler--who did not seek renomi-
nation this year-say he will
likely enter the race. Gov.
Kohler has been another strong
supporter of Eisenhower.
Neither Endorsed
The White House did not in
dorse either Senator Wiley or
Representative Davis - who
also claimed to be an Eisen-
hover supporter, 1t seems a
good guess. however, that the
Wiley victory is not displeas-
ing in that quarter.
Senator Wiley'S reelection
in November is expected by
political observers in Wiscon-
sin. The Democrats have
nominated as their senatorial
candidate State Senator and
Democratic Floor Leader Henry
Maier, 38-year-old insurance
counsellor. Mr.. Maier won the
nomination over Elliot WAL
stead. former Democratic State
chairman, who favored the
nomination of Adlai Stevenson
for President against Senator

to the problem to be objective.
because Of their experience
with the problem, they should
best be able to provide the
working hypothesis or ra-
tional representations Mr..
Eisenhower should take the
initiative in providing this
substantial common ground
upon which to work and a
"test-tube" arrangement that
will weed out the beck and call
of automatic reactions and
promote creative leadership on
the local level that should lead
to the acceptance Of the basic
requisites Of a social democ-
racy.

President Eisenhower has
said in reference to the pres
ent racial disorders. "it is
difficult through law and
through force to change a
mans heart" The Star in an
editorial entitled Changing
Mems Hearts" indicated that
the Presidents position should
be one of restraint, a refusal
to say anything which would
aggravate an already serious
situation
! suggest that it is restraint
on the part of the President
when he refuses to send in
Federal troops to enforce a law
of the land as interpreted by
the Supreme Court. 1t is con-
tributory negligence Of the
South'S position. 1t is utter
folly to talk about changing
mems hearts when these men
have learned to hate their fell
low countrymen because of
black, brown, tan or darker
than-white-skins. When such
hate is so ill-founded, 1t is
wishful thinking to believe
that education will someday
eradicate that hatred.

What Giving Means

He wondered where his
money went and where his
kindly gift was spent; he's
never followed. day by day,
the dollars that he gave away;
and so they said let's trace
them down, and go with them
about the town. They led him
to a crippled child. who looked
up at him and sweetly smiled:
he saw doctors kind and wise,
restoring sight to- feeble eyes;
a brave boy stepped across the
floor, who had never walked
alone before; in haunts of
misery and strife, he saw the
dawn of happier life. none Of
these, said they, could live, if
folks like you refused to give;
when asked to give, recall these
scenes; then. understand what
giving means.

The indignation decision of
the Supreme Court, as every
right thinking man or woman
knows, was a great mistake.
The important thing is wheth-
er the justices are men enough
to see their mistake and re-
verse their decision. The de-
cree has done the colored race
inestimable damage. It has
driven a wedge between the
races which heretofore never
existed. / wager if a vote
were taken among the colored
folks, and there was no inter-
vention by the NAACP, their
wish would be to continue
with their segregated schools
and equal facilities. Force
should not and cannot be used
in this our supposedly free
country.
There should be no integra-
ton of the schools in the
South, for the betterment Of
both races. The colored people
were progressing and living
better than they ever have
under the plan which had
been in effect for so years. 1t
was not until the NAACP be-
gan interfering that unrest
and a feeling Of Were not
being treated right" emerged.
The name of the association
is a good sounding one. and If
the funds we're used for the
betterment Of the Negro race
1t could accomplish something
for them. but with its present

ton and is using 1t to no good

fact that he did not get support from
the President, which, in our opinion, he
was entitled to have.
Now the votes are in and Senator
Wiley has won. We are glad of it, both
for his own sake and because it demon
strates that man can support an en-
lightened foreign policy in the State of
Wisconsin without FORGETTING his political
life.

the issues or restraint. Though
it is difficult through law and

Nor is soothing the South an
appropriate purpose at this
time of the leader Of a bona

opportunistic political by
stander at a time when events
demand an answer which is
not an evasion. The ramparts
of progress are found in the
minds of men even though a
change Of heart is what is
called for here. A refusal to
say anything constructive.
though it might aggravate an
already precarious condition
at this time. is a sort Of po-
litical nonentity trying to
coerce a reality. The first duty
of a party of the future is to
perfect that democracy to
which it is committed and of
which it as yet has so i'm
perfectly realized. The basic
ethics Of such a party in a
social democracy require that
the evils therein be remedied
and abated. for the merit of
such a system is to be judged
by the nationality, fair treat
ment and well-being which it
creates. The good of the con-
trolling group must embrace
the good of the controlled.
Nor is Mr.. Eisenhower right
about the Importance of ed
ucation and training in bring

be true If the South actually

sponsibility and to rational
neighborliness. to say nothing
Of the belief in the participa-
ton Of the subordinated and

conquest Of ignorance in the
South must still be antici-
pated; and here is where the
creative leadership and broad
personal popularity of Mr..
Eisenhower can appropriately
be employed.

At the time Of the American

Jewish contribution cannot be
measured purely by the Yardstick
of numbers.
There was Aaron Lopez of

Lopez the most important mer-

The fact that the Jew was a
