Flower Arrangement
Demonstration Given

A demonstration of flower ar
rangement by Wilhelm H. Weber
of Clarksburg. w. Va. held the at
tention of forty-two members and
guests of the Oakland Civic club
at its tea on Tuesday afternoon at
the William-Jame hotel.
Principal foliage used were the
huckleberry and branches from the
Eucalyptus tree of California COM
bined with yellow, briar. talisman
roses grown at the H. Weber and
Sons in Oakland.
Also used were the Happiness
red rose now taking the place of
the American Beauty rose: white
and yellow snapdragons, lavender
sweet peas, yellow daisies from
California, red, white and Mamie
Eisenhower carnations; golden
harvest jonquils. iris. and other
Springtime varieties.
His arrangements ran from those
suitable as a gift to a friend in a
hospital to that for the man of the
house, special places at a home,
for a family dinner, formal occa-
sions, buffet party, a classical or
an old-fashioned setting.
Mr.. Weber spoke of the value of
color in arrangement. using as an
example that flowers of a wrong
color may often produce the wrong
effect in a sick room. He declared
that people do have green
thumbs" and that a person with a
natural talent for flower arrange
ment needs no training. Some
people, he said may be taught to
arrange flowers but may never en-
joy it.

In the Middle and Far East
an eventual withdrawal of the
French-British forces neces-
sarily will be interpreted as a
further sign of weakness on
the part of the "colonialists."
1t also will be interpreted as
the result of the Soviets'
firmness and considerable
friendship for the Arabs.
The men in the Kremlin
have laid a solid foundation
for this myth. They have
assisted the Moroccans in
their struggle for complete
sovereignty. Not only have
they appeared to give them
political backing but they
have managed also to
smuggle to them the neces-
sary weapons to fight France.
The Russians are doing the
same thing for the Algerian
nationalist, against whom
the French have been fight

Moscow and Prague have
openly provided vast quanti-

Stevenson Believed Risking Fight
In Delay on Picking Running Mate

CHICAGO.-The real sleeper
at this Democratic convention
is the vice presidential nomi-
nation.
Behind all the talk about
civil rights, a deep and gen.
uine desire for a harmonious
solution exists on both sides of
the argument. But so far as
the leading party figures are
concerned. the vice presidency
is wide open.
Normally, that would not be
a significant fact 10 days be-
fore the nomination is made.
Sometimes a President runs
into trouble when his Vice
President has become con-
troversial. as is the case now
with Richard M. Nixon and
as President Roosevelt did in
1910 with Henry Wallace. But
the presidential nominee usu-
ally names his potential sue
ceSSor.
Adlai Stevenson did it in
1852. He probably could do
it again if he made up his
mind fast and passed the word
around to strategic locations.
But what he has done in
stead is to give the green light
to all the aspirants and imply
that he is waiting to be con-
WINGED of their claims and
their grass-roots support.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Moscow, Offering Advice TO Both Sides,
Seen as Big G0iner in Suez Crisis

If a vast international meet
ing materializes. many other
topics outside the nationalist
ton of the Suez Canal Co. will
have top priority on the agen-
ola. The Decentralization of
the Dardanelles and the
Panama Canal undoubtedly
will be among them. The In
dams and the Russians will
insist that their friends Chou
En-lai and Tito be invited.
1t will be a free-for-all fight
in which the Western powers
may get the short end Of the
stick.
The British and French who
started the present rumpus
by their bombastic attitude of
using military measures to
safeguard their interests in the
Suez Canal Co. are in a worse
predicament than the United
States. They have dispatched
naval. air and army units to
the Mediterranean with much
fanfare. forgetting the old ad-
monition not to draw unless
YOU have decided to shoot,
The British and French
fleets have been ordered to
gather around Malta and
Cyprus. The Western pres
tige will suffer seriously in
Asia as we'll as the Middle
East if that concentration of
powerful naval. air and
ground forces powerful at
least in relation to Egypt's
military potentially proves to
be a mere bluff or empty ges-
ture.
On the other hand, it is un-
likely that the two Western
allied governments. regardless
of how much they are sup
ported by their own public
opinion. will start shooting
before either Nasser gives
them a good excuse, or the
vast International conference
expected to be proposed by
Nehru has been held.

An Argument for Direct Primaries

The custom is for local politi.
cal organizations to pick the
delegates, and more often than
not the posts go to those who
have the money to spend on
the trip or who seek the OPP
portunity for reasons of local
prestige to sit on the State
delegation.
Perhaps the most conspicu-
Gus example Of the disregard
of 1.-The peoples wishes" is to
be noted in what happened
just a couple of weeks ago
when Senator Kefauver an
nounced his withdrawal" from
the contest for the presidential
nomination n the Democratic
Party. He and his associates
denied emphatically that there
was any IDEAL" whereby he
would be awarded the vice
presidential nomination. But
why did Kefauver withdraw?
There had not been a counting
of noses. The so-called open
convention" had not even met.
But Kefauver knew somehow
that he couldn't win the nomi-
nation. He knew the lineup
OF the bosses in the various
States and their power over
the balloting. And this is " hat
is called a peoples" conven-
ton.
This correspondent has at
tended 10 Republican and 10
Democratic Party national
conventions, and not one of
these polled the voters before
hand. either through the pri-
maries or by any other Nation
wide system. Conventions, it
must be admitted, are ruled by
oligarchies. The wonder is that
they do produce some good
Presidents-but the tragedy is
that they also produce some
very incompetent Presidents.
The people have no choice in
the November election except
between two specific candi-
dates in whose selection they
have had no part and for whom
there are many able substitutes
available who could really
make good Presidents.
