Time and Opportunity

Inc ldJeSC ClapJer III Jne harold
Stassen story is an intriguing one.
A cryptic announcement from the
White House says that Mr.. StaSSen, who
visited the President yesterday morning,
has been granted a leave of absence
without pay from his official duties. Mr..
StaSSen requested this leave, which is for
four weeks, because he wanted to have
the time and the opportunity to pursue
certain political activities without involN-
ing his official position or the White
House"
What, really, does this mean? A week
has passed since Mr.. StaSSen, the Presi-
dents assistant in charge of disarmament
matters, launched his seemingly Inflated
campaign to put Governor Herter on the
1856 COP. ticket in place of Mr.. Nixon.
When that political bombshell exploded,
White House Press Secretary Jim Hagerty
said Mr.. StaSsen had talked to the Presi-
dent about his project on the preceding
Friday. The President, according to Mr.
Hagerty, told Mr. StaSSen that he could
do as he pleased as an individual, but
that obviously he could not conduct his
ouSt-Nixon drive as a member of the
Presidents official family. So what is one
to make of this latest White House an
nouncement? Does it merely formalize
the you-can't-do-t -that-aS- a-member-
offlcialfamily admonition? Or should
1t be looked at another way? Is it to be
taken as sign that the President has
bestowed his blessing on the StaSsen
project, and has given him the green
light to go ahead, as an individual, and
unhorSe Mr.. Nixon if he can? If this is
not the case, why would the President,
despite the strong COP. support for Mr..
Nixon, be willing to give Mr.. StaSSen 1.-The
time and the opportunity" to pursue his
certain political activities? He could
have told him to forget those activities
and attend to his disarmament knitting.
1t may be, although we doubt it, that
Mr.. Eisenhower will clear the air at his
press conference tomorrow. At the mo-
ment, it seems fair to say that this latest
White House pronouncement, if designed
to put the chill on Mr.. StaSSen, has mis-
fired. 1t is more likely to encourage him
to redouble his dump-Nixon efforts-and
this with the Republican convention less
than three weeks away.

Comet ~, is successor to the ill-fated
Comet that was grounded in 1854 after
two Of the planes had disintegrated over
the Mediterranean within a four month
period. After exhaustive study, British
aircraft authorities attributed the acci-
dents to metal fatigue in the planes
fuselage, and subsequent designs were
revised to correct the trouble.
Meanwhile, American manufacturers
are pushing our own entries in the Jet
field. Boeing and Douglas each has long
range planes in production and Pan
American World Airways expects to have
some of the former in service on inter-
continental routes in early 1882 Convair
is making medium range plane more
like the Comets. but will not have its
first craft available as early as the De
Havilland model. The situation accents
again, of course, the highly competitive
nature of both the manufacturing and
transport activities in commercial avia-
tion. Both involve tremendous invest
mentS and constant research but the
promise is great in terms of economic
gain as well as progress toward better
and safer flying.

Mr.. Warren to India

When he visits India next month,
Chief Justice Earl Warren will be there,
in an official or formal sense, solely to
study the country'S judicial system. That
is the announced purpose of the invita-
tion he has accepted from Prime Minister
Nehru'S government. But his tour, which
will take him to several major cities, will
also have the broader diplomatic and
political effect of making him good will
ambassador at a time when Indian
American relations could do with some
repair.
1t is for this reason that the PreSi-
dent, with Secretary Dulles concurring,
is reported to have given enthusiastic
advance approval to the Chief Justice S
acceptance of the invitation. IrritantS
exist between Washington and New Delhi,
and unfortunately-owing to Mr.. EiSen-
hower's recent operation-effortS to mini
mize or remove them have been delayed
by the postponement of the visit Mr..
Nehru was to have made here this month.
So Mr. Warren's projected trip is timely
one that can do much to take the chilli
ness out of the air and promote warmer
atmosphere between the Indians and
ourselves.
In any event, in his capacity as Chief
Justice of the United States, Mr.. Warren
will be touring India as a man whose
office makes him the next highest
ranking American to the President him
self. That fact, plus the fact that the
people of that country identify him very
favorably with changes in American
racial policy, is likely to lend a great deal
to his prestige and appeal as he visits
among them All in all, he seems we'll
equipped to carry out an effective good
will mission.

Senator Humphreys Bid

Senator Hubert Humphreys notice
to his friends that he is a candidate for
the Democratic vice presidential nomina-
ton officially opens this uncertain con-
test. 1t is, in fact, the most unpredictable
OF all the nominating fights facing the
two conventions-as selection of an Eli
senhower-Nixon ticket by the Republicans
and a second Democratic presidential
nomination for Adlai Stevenson become
increasingly likely.
The favorable prospects for Mr..
Stevenson tend likewise to favor Mr..
Humphrey-but only to a point that is
considerably short of assuring the Min
neSotan that he will win The Senator has
been staunch supporter of Mr.. Steven
son and took the leadership in organizing
the latter'S primary campaign in Mime
sofa. But while the effort may have won
him a substantial measure of gratitude
from the former Illinois Governor, the
fact that it ended in unexpected defeat
weakens Mr.. Humphreys political appeal.
From the first time he was elected Mayor
OF Minneapolis, however Mr.. Humphrey
has been a strong vote-getter in his own
State. In two successful campaigns for
that Office, he piled up record breaking
pluralitieS, and two winning races for the
Senate have been comparably impressive.
He is an energetic and effective speaker, a
tireless campaigner who is skilled in APP
pealing to the working-class vote both in
country and city.
In seeking this particular nomination,
however, he is facing competition from
long list of others who are eligible and
available. Considerable thought has been
given, for instance, to placing Catholic
on the Democratic ticket, with Senator
Kennedy of Massachusetts and Mayor
Wagner of New York receiving most fire.
quent mention. Governor Meyner of New
Jersey is another young Democrat who
has the advantage of coming from an i'm
portant State in terms of convention
support and electoral votes. Thus, while
Mr.. Humphrey has been first to toss his
hat into the Democratic vice presidential
ring, he has long road to travel before
he will be able to call the nomination
his own.

Shiqemitsu in Moscow

The talks now going on in Mos
COW between japanese Foreign Minister
ShigemitSu and Soviet Foreign Minister
Shepilov are not likely to produce much
more than dubious decentralization" of
diplomatic and economic relations. And
the value of that can best be measured
by the results of last September's similar
negotiations between the Russians and
Chancellor Adenauer of West Germany.
AS for genuine naturalization, the
Kremlin apparently has no intention of
working out with Japan a real peace
treaty OF the kind that nearly all the
nations of the world adopted at San
Francisco in September five years ago. At
any rate, 10-month effort to negotiate
such treaty came to a futile end in
London last March when Tokyo'S rep
reSentativeS, after innumerable meet
ingS and endless discussion with the
Russians, finally decided that further
palavering was useless because the Soviet
Union was not seriously interested in
reaching settlement
These London talks failed primarily
because of the Kremlin'S inSiStence that
be- based on terms that could not be
accepted by Tokyo without leaving Japan
practically defenSeless. Thus, during
the course of the talks, the Russians
demanded an end to the American
Japanese mutual security alliance. They
also demanded that Hirohito'S Shrunken
empire work out pact with Red China,
declare itself in favor of Surrendering
Formosa to Peiping, commit itself to
policy of virtually diSarmed neutrality,
and otherwise follow Soviet line that
would make it acutely vulnerable to even-
tual Communist conquest.
There is no evidence that the Krem-
lin is now ready to depart draStically
from such demands. So Mr. ShigemitSu,
IN meeting with Mr.. Shepilov, can hardly
be hopeful OF achieving peace treaty or
even OF making substantial progress TO-
ward one. The most he seems to expect is
an agreement to "normalize" relations to
the extent of exchanging diplomatic
representation, establishing fishing rights
and perhaps promoting some increase in
trade. But he must know, being aware of
Chancellor Adenauer's experience, that
agreements of that kind fall far short of
being good peace-promoting settlements.
With all that said, however, it must
be admitted that the Kremlin has not
hurt itself in persuading Tokyo-after
the futility of the London talks-to send
Mr.. ShigemitSu to Moscow. He probably
will be offered only few crumbs there,
but his visit, though costing the Russians
little or nothing, can add up to effective
Soviet propaganda among the japanese.

Humphrey Sets q Healthy Precedent

Senator Hubert Humphreys

rank prominence in party af-
fairs-and Senator Humphrey
of Minnesota certainly is that
have frankly declared them
selves candidates for second
place on a national ticket.
Some have said they were
available" without going be-
yond that. There is no good
reason. however, why a can
6idate should not declare
himself for a vice presidential
nomination. And having de-
clared himself, Senator Hum
phrey may be expected to have
his name presented to the
Democratic National Conven-
ton when it meets in Chicago
some two weeks hence.
1t is a fact, of course, that
the Democratic convention will
name its presidential candi-
date before it turns to the elec-
tion of a vice presidential can
didate. And when the head of
the ticket has been chosen, he
naturally will be consulted
about a vice presidential NOM
inee. He may, as in the case
of President Eisenhower, write
a list of five or six men who
would be acceptable. Or, if the
presidential candidate hap
pens to be in the White House
already and seeking another
term, he may make his desire
for q particular vice presi-
Dental candidate known to
the party leaders and rely on
them to deliver that candi-
date. The late President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, in 1910 and
1914, did just that. Former
President Harry S. Truman
in 1948 had the say about
his running mate for that cam
paign and wound up with the
late Senator Alben w. Bark
ley of Kentucky.
Mentioned for No. / Spot
Senator Humphrey has fire.
quently been mentioned in the
past as a potential presidential
nominee, and this year for the
second place on the Democratic
ticket. He was an early sup
porter of Adlai Stevenson for
the presidential nomination.
and though Stevenson lost the
Minnesota presidential pri-
mary last March to Senator
Kefauver of Tennessee, he still
hopes to deliver the Minnesota
delegation to Stevenson if and
when it becomes apparent
Kefauver cannot win.
That Senator Humphrey
would be acceptable to Steven
son as a running mate is en-
tirely probable. How the Min
neSota Senator would fare if
Gov. Hartman of New York
were the choice of the conven-
ton for President is perhaps
more debatable.
However, Humphrey has
been a strong New Deal-Fair
Dealer. He has a record as a
strong supporter of civil rights.
In the 1948 national conven-
ton, he headed the drive for
a realistic civil rights platform
plank, presenting it to the con-
vention as a minority report

from the committee on reso-
lutions, and won the fight for
it. The result was the forma-
tion Of the Dixiecrat Party Of
that year and the loss Of four
Southern States to the party's
national ticket. But Truman
was reelected, without those
Southern States-and without
the electoral votes Of New
York.
Senator Humphrey is a
hard-hitting campaigner and
an excellent speaker. He would
add strength to a Stevenson
ticket in all probability-de-
spite the rebuff he received in
the Minnesota primary when
he went all out for Stevenson
and lost.
Aside from that, however.
the Minnesota Senator has
done a healthy thing. It's
time there was a list of strong
candidates for the vice presi-
dental nomination. The Office
is far too important to continue
with a hit-and-miss system
of nominating vice-preSiden-
tial candidates. The national
conventions of both parties
should realize this. Potential
candidates for vice-presiden-
tial nominations should be
encouraged to throw their hats
in the ring.
There seems no reason why
Vice President Nixon should
not say now he is a candidate
for denomination. He has.
it is true, said he would be
glad to have the nomination
If the convention and the
President want him. He has
made an outstanding record as
Vice President. He has sup
ported President Eisenhower to
the hilt. Why shouldn't he
say without more ado he is a
candidate for denomination?
AS things stand today, Nixon's
denomination at the hands of
the national convention seems
aSsured-barring a thumbs
down by President Eisenhower.
Such an action by the Presi-
dent is inconceivable. Presi-
dent Eisenhower has said he
would be delighted" to have
Nixon on the ticket with him,
and has praised him to the
skies.
Many Democrats Mentioned
On the Democratic side of
the fence, there have been
many mentioned as possible
vice-preSidential n ominees.
Among them are Senator Ken
nedy of Massachusetts,. Gov.
Clement of Tennessee, Mayor
Wagner of New York, Gov.
Meyner of New Jersey, Senator
Kefauver of Tennessee, Gov.
Williams of Michigan, in addi-
ton to Senator Humphrey.
Kefauver could scarcely be
expected to say he is a can
didate for Vice President as
long as he is in the running
for the presidential nomina-
ton. The others, however,
could very well throw hats in
the vice-presidential ring as
Senator Humphrey has done.
There should be nothing,
either, to prevent potential Re-
publican nominees for a vice
presidential nomination from
entering the race for it.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Do you know the difference
between a butterfly and a
skipper?
We don't, either. but if you
were a real Lepidoptera ex-
pert, you would, and so would
we.
1t is something about wings
and things.
People who know say that
butterflies and shippers are
usually considered together.
Almost any thing that flies
these hot days may be a but
terfly, and then again it may
be a skipper. if it isn't Of
course, a bird.
When the experts say but
terfiy," they include skipper"
too.
1t is all very confusing, just
as the whole subject is to any
one except the men who study
such things for a living.
4 y
The head, thorax and abb
domen are relatively slender,
in the true butterflies.
The shippers, on the other
wing, have head, thoraX and
abdomen relatively stout,
which puts them in the class
Of most Americans.
Wings, among the butter
flies. are proportionately large,
as the experts say. They al
ways insist on that word, pro-
portionately, which may mean
a lot or nothing.
The shippers have wings, as
you might expect, proportion
ately smaller.
Here is another pointer on
the difference between butter
flies and shippers:
The antennae Of the butter
flies arise close together on
the head, whereas those of the
shippers arise far apart on the
head
These shippers insist on
being different. you see.
49,
Here is another neat diff
ference. If you can detect 1t.
CWe can't at ALL
The flight Of the butterflies,
while often swift enough. is
not powerful with fast, blurring
wing strokes. you have to be
careful here, evidently. to put
the comma after fast" not
after powerful" 1t makes a
lot Of difference to an expert.
For, see, he goes right on to
explain about shippers:
Flight, he declares with i'll
concealed triumph, among the
shippers is different.
The flight Of skippers, the
expert trills. is swift and DART
ing, with fast-beating, often
blurring wings.
Well, he may have a point
there.
If we see a butterfly, from
now on, with blurring wings,
we will call IL a skipper. and
be done with 1t.
NFt
But it is when we get down
TO the larva. one Of three
phases OF these curious COM
mon insects. that we are
tipped of to a real difference I
