Lively Convention for Democrats

have been for some time,
among whom might be cited
two prominent figures in Gov.
Harriman's own State - Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt and Senator
Herbert H. Lehman-and Sen
ator Hubert Humphrey of Min
nesota. There are many others.
In the second place, Adlai
Stevenson has exhibited his
ability to inspire and retain
confidence among all sorts of
people by the cross-section vote
he received in primaries in
such widely scattered States as
Minnesota. Pennsylvania, I'LL
nois, Oregon, Florida and Cali
fornia. The results seem to in
dictate trust in him as a man of
character and integrity who,
without taking extreme posi-
lions for special group appeal,
would try to approach pressing
civil rights and indignation
problems with an innate sense
Of responsibility, patience and
tolerance and yet with a firm
ness to execute the law in the
orderly and gradual way laid
down for public school inte-
grafton by the Supreme Court.
1t is hardly possible to bring
together into one entirely
happy family the various
groups embraced in the DEM
ocratic Party. which goes also
for the Republican Party: but
Adlai Stevenson probably could
come nearer to that than any,
one else. That, anyhow, is the
platform upon which he has
chosen to stand in his bid for
denomination.
He is now recognized as the
man to beat. The conflict in
the Democratic convention will
be produced by the assault
upon him by Gov. Hartman
from the left and from the
right by opponents of a more
conservative program. The
Democratic convention, Incl
dentally, has assumed more

the Tennessee Senator in the
primaries. This is not exactly
as planned by the Hartman
camp months ago. The orig
inal idea was that Senator
Kefauver would knock out
Stevenson in the primaries
and thus open the way for
Gov. Hartman at the conven-
ton on the theory that party
leaders would themselves
stop" the Senator in the con-
vention, or that he could be
pacified with the second spot
on the ticket.
The multi-millionaire New
Yorker who yearns so to be
President naturally is thinking
of himself as the winner Of a

could of course be Adlai Ste

Wilson Is Back

Secretary of Defense Wilson
returned late yesterday from his
first visit to the atomic proving
ground in the Pacific, arriving "a
hours ahead of his original
schedule.
Defense Department spokes-
men declined all answers to in
quiries as to whether Mr.. Wilson
observed any nuclear tests in
the Eniwetok- Bikini area.
The Atomic Energy Commits

the Secretary saw a nuclear ex-
plosion. but the agency issued a
statement which said:

called Redwing SerieS-at the

Just issued a decision which
has stricken down the most
effective weapon against sub
versive activity available to the
Government"
This decision must be good
news to Moscow. 1t must be
good news to the thousands of
hard-core Com m uniStS in
America who are trying to get
inside the Government of the
United States through agents,
stooges and dupes. 1t must be
good news also to the groups of
misguided individuals in GER

whole security program.
For. by single stroke, the
Supreme Court majority-Jus-
tices Harlan, Frankfurter,
Douglas. Black, Burton and
Chief Justice Warren - has
practically opened the doors to
Communist subversives inside
many agencies of Government.
Unless the Congress acts i'm

The point at issue relates
to a law passed in 1850 by
Congress W h ich designated
certain agencies of the Gov
eminent as sensitive" but left
it to the President to make, in
his discretion, that designation
for other agencies. The Su-
preme Court says that, when
the President sought by execu-

he didn't have the power to do
so because he didn't spell out
the actual relationship Of those
agencies to the national Sc

fifty-two more weeks of safe farm
ing. 1t puts us il tOnch with peo-
pie who are genuinely concerned
with farm conditions which can
sometimes spell danger. This spec
ial week gives each of us a chance
to exchange ideas ON safety mea-
sures for the farm and the farm
house More than that, this 18th
National Farm Safety Week brings
to each of us a sense of the re-
sponsibility we owe to our families,
our communities, and our country,
to maintain safe working condi-
tiOns ON the farm.
1--WE think of factories and con-
struction projects as places of
danger. To survive, we know the
worker must observe all those safe
guards which have been set up by
his safety officers. The farm, with
its green fields and its solitude
gives us a feeling of safety and
security. This is false. Farm acci-
dents kill three quarters as many
people each year as construction
accidents and more than three
times as many as manufacturing
accidents. The farmer must be his
own safety officer He must study
his own needs, place his own warn
ing devices, and observe his own
rules.
National Farm Safety Week is
filled with opportunities. 1t is a
once-in-a-year chance to study
safety programs which have been
developed by experts. Ideas created
during this week can be carried
back to the farm to produce bene-
fits throughout each week in the
year.
Let us use this week to the
best possible advantage. 1t repre-
sents a part of farm life every bit

pend on it, Let us here firmly re-

Girls Save
Millions By
Home Sewing
BY DOROTHY ROE
sOeiated Press WOmen's Editor

ASsONldtfu n ttS7 w OtHCfs
Americas school girls save 160
million dollars a year making their
own clothes.
This is big money in anybody's
language, adding up to about SAC
each for the fo.r million girls cur.
rentIy enrolled in sewing classes.
Child experts are soundly i'm
pressed by the sewing activity
among today's juniors, and esti-
mate that in addition to students
enrolled in classes. another million
or so regularly make their own
clothes.
People who sew usually figure
that it is possible to save two
thirds of the cost of a ready-to-
wear dress by making it them
selves. Garment manufacturers fig
ure that the price of a garment is
determined by three factors-one-
third for fabric, one-third for la
Dor and one-third for design. Since
the home seamstress pays only for
her fabric, with the design cost in
cluded in a 35-cent pattern, she
can figure that a dress with five
dollars worth of fabric and notions
can save her $40 if she does her
own sewing.
High school girls are taking ad-
vantage of this fact. They figure
that the more dresses they make
for themselves, the more shoes,
belts, handbags and other access
cries they can buy from their cloth
ing allowances.
The back-to-school season is a
peak sewing period for young girls,
and many of them devote part of
their summer vacations to expand
ing their school wardrobes.
One sewing machine company Of
fers special budget vacation sewing
courses for youngsters aged 10
through II, conducting the classes
in all of their 1900 local sewing
centers. With registration for the
course ending in mid-August, in

cottons, with ambitious students
trying their hands at wool gar
ments. In connection with these
sewing courses, local, regional and
national prizes are offered for the

Mr.. Varney school Principal, asked
Miss Ross to teach two shifts, the
first from 9:00-11 80 a. m. and the
second from I:00-4:00 p. m. The
total pupils she met each day was
fifty and this continued two years
before another teacher was hired.
In later years, Miss Ross taught
as many as sixty pupils per day
at the New School Building which
is now Wilkes Furniture.
During her years of teaching,
Miss Ross visited the parents of
her pupils often, making many
calls at night, without giving per-
haps, due consideration for her
personal safety.
Miss Ross left the teaching field
in February 1916 due to the ill
ness of her sister She maintains
