Evils of Tobacco

In the light OF the Cancer
Institutes recently published
findings on mortality rates Of
lung cancer due TO cigarette
smoking, IL is significant to
note the present trend Of GER
tain cigarette manufacturers
publicity drives aimed pri-
marily at the teenager.
This. OF course, is one OF the
two only remaining prime
backgrounds for brand pref
erence still open to the vora-
cious cigarette manufacturer.
The other is the pre-teenage
group-from 5 years 70 H.
mostly in our elementary
schools.
It seems logical TO conclude
that the preparation Of this
group for candidacy to the
smokers cult has been given
more than casual attention by
the cigarette manufacturers

THOMAS [. STOKES

EN- ROUTE WITH STEVEN
SON. - The two-day whistle
stop journey by train that took
Adlai Stevenson into Penn
sylvania and West Virginia on
his Eastern tour served to mark
what appears to be the end of
an era in presidential political
campaigning.
This probably will be the last
use of the railroad train in this
years presidential campaign.
unless Vice President Richard
M. Nixon undertakes one over
the same route, which is re-
ported under consideration.
The campaigns end undoubt-
eddy will sound the swan song
of the steam cars" in our
quadrennial presidential cleo
ton spectacles.
Radio, television, the air.
plane and the automobile are
responsible. Candidates can
fly to a big city and thus ident-
ify themselves with the geo.
graphical area. Then, by auto
mobile caravan. they can
parade through the city and
surrounding sections. AS a
climax, they can then speak to
the people of the whole coun-
try, as well as a local audience,
by radio and television.
In this new type of cam
paign. which in its present
form dates only from 1852. a
candidate can "fly over a lot
of voters" as someone has
put it.
But the fact that the voter
can be reached more often
over radio and television and
more easily and in comfort
at home, without stirring his
stumps, has outweighed the
advantages Of the closer.
folksy contact of the old-style
tour by railroad train often
running for two or three weeks
at a time in a leisurely pace
across the country.

That Winding Train Trip in West Virginia
By Stevenson Believed Last of Kind

us who went along with Ste
venson in his brief journey by
train into the past. The view
one got from the train win
dow as all of the United States
passed before his eyes was a
fine education in our land and
its people.
Then. for the campaign it
self as an adventure in ma
tional politics, there come back
memories.
The train slowly rolling to
a stop. 1t might be a tiny
town on the vast Western
plains where, as the late Gov.
AL Smith of New York once
said on his one try for the
Presidency, You look out Of
the window all day and see
nothing" Or it might be
big city. or the small and
medium sized towns in the
great industrial East and
Middle West, or on the Pacific
Coast, or, although rarely, in
the South.
The sight comes back-of
late-arriving men, women and
children, dog-trotting beside
the train toward the back
platform where the candidate
presently appeared. And al
ways the local band-often
quite professional and with
brightly-colored uniforms, of
ten not very professional but
still with brightly-colored uni
forms and enthusiasm. So
many high school bands and SO
many youthful musicians.
Then the cheer from the
crowd as the candidate stepped
out on the back platform and
began to speak. Then on to
the next stop and the same
routine. frequently into the
night when the crowd was lost
back among the shadows.
This railroad tour with Ste
venson was for some a nostal-
gic journey.

There was, of course, serious
business for Stevenson in this
train adventure.
The slow train with many
stops was the best way to try
to win converts in the dis
treSsed hard and soft coal re-
gions and thus to try to swing
Pennsylvania which Gen.
Eisenhower carried in 1852
into the Democratic column
and to hold West Virginia.
The latter was one of nine
States which were in the
meager Stevenson bag four
years ago.
The Democratic candidate
went through a bruising
schedule in his effort to see,
talk to. and be seen by as many
voters as possible. 1t seemed
worthwhile.

more difficult because he in

In Pennsylvania, as in New

LETTERS TO THE STAR

tegration is too big, and the
effects Of it are too far reach
ing for any one body of men
to rule on. even the Supreme
Court!
X. ThibOdean.
80
The Davis committee hear
ings in no way evaluated the
basic problems inherent in any
transition from segregated to
integrated schools. Testimony
given by teachers and admin
istrators did not indicate that
the Washington schools can
be used as a guide for other
schools to follow in the orderly
indignation of their schools.
No clear-cut picture was given
positive accomplishments or
well-establiShed policies to be
used in school Indignation.
During the first year of m
tegration, certain successes
were recorded, with mini
mum of friction on the part of
students, teachers and admin
iStrators. However, since the
Davis committee hearings and
the attendant publicity given
the reported problems of in
tegration by the committees
screened group of witnesses,
tensions and antipathies have
grown between students, teach
ers and administrators.
1t is time now for the Board
Of Education and the super
intendent Of schools to get
from teachers. staff officers
and other school employees an
honest appraisal of the prog
ress and problems pertaining
to indignation. as well as con-
structive suggestions on ways
and means of improving all
phases of education for all
public school children.

all thoughtful people who
watched. with concern, the re-

holding State funds from To-

Virginia's leaders are not
facing honestly and construc-
lively the problems which the
Supreme Court decision poses
for our schools. They are sub
stituting legislative cartwheels
and legal handsprings for
good-faith compliance with the
court order. In so doing, they
burden the Virginia taxpayer
with costs beyond all possible
estimate. and they damage a
public school system which can
i'll afford any further handi-
cap.

maneuvers and has, with can

Candidates Meetings

On September Is, Joel T.
Rroyhill. Representative from
the 10th district in Virginia
and candidate for reelection
this November, made a state
ment with respect to the
League of Women Voters
which may have left an erron-
eous impression in the minds
of some of your readers con-
corning the purpose and exc
cution of our traditional cam
didateS' meetings.
The League of Women
Voters is a non-partisan Or
ganiZation which devotes, in
communities throughout the
Nation, a great deal of time
and Womanpower to voters
service: disseminating voting
and registration regulations,
giving information on candi-
dates for local. State and Con-
greSSional offices. At no time
does the League support or
oppose any candidate for po-
litical office. Our candidates
meetings make it possible for
the voters in a community to
see their candidates for Office
and hear them state their
views on outstanding issues,
and provide for questions from
the voters to be answered by
the candidates.
When plans are laid for
candidates meetings, every
possible effort is made to
maintain our basic policy of
non-partiSanShip. Each can
didate is given precisely equal
time to speak. Questions to
the candidate are usually
written. in order to assure a
diversity Of questions and to
prevent speeches in the guise
Of questions. In cases where
oral questions are permitted.
a time limit is set on the ques-
ton and the response. Mod
orators are very carefully
chosen for their skill and ex-
perience. In short, the leagues
have done everything possible
to make these meetings in fact
what they are in theory-a
public service which enables
our voters to hear the facts
and a discussion of the issues
and, on the basis of the candi-
dates positions, to determine
in what manner they will vote.
l do not know what unfor-
tunate experience prompted
Mr.. Broyhill'S statement. Per-
sonally, I have never attended
a candidates meeting spon-
Sored by the League of Women
Voters which was not run on
a completely non-partisan
basis. The partisanship of the
audience is something which
certainly cannot be determined
in advance. The assumption
is that the audience will in
clude members of both major
parties, as well as independent
voters who welcome an OPP
portunity to see and hear all
candidates. We are sorry Mr..
Broyhill does not care to at
tend candidates meetings this
year. However. 1t is certainly
his privilege to conduct his
campaign as he sees fit. My
purpose in writing this letter
is to make clear the fact that
complete non partisanship.
which is the basis Of our en-
tire program, is the corner
stone of our voters service
work, Of which candidates
meetings are an integral part.
