Washington last night was
like a stuffed ballot box of

Unlike the rest of the coun-

naturally. The Republicans

Preferred Gettysburg
For though Mrs. Eisenhower
couldn't have looked more
pleased over the outcome of
the election, deep down under
she would have preferred to
retire to Gettysburg.
So much store did she put
in the Presidents wishes,
though, it is doubtful that she
even indicated to her own
mother and sister that she was
disappointed when he decided
to run again. So say her
closest friends.
She had nothing to do with
the Presidents decision. But
she did everything to abide by
it.
1t was thus when he accepted
the presidency of Columbia

that's what he wanted to do

Mr.. Chalk seems assured of an opportu-

granted in the hope of making such

he attempts to do in the way of providing
good transportation, improving the serv-

We all remember how success
full the CCC camps were dur

Khrushchev on Freedom

Speaking at a reception in the Krem-
lin, Nikita KhruShchev now has paid
his compliments to the free world. AS
he sees it, with an Orwellian eye that
sees all things upside down, it is
world that is not actually free. In
stead it is a place where the masses
unlike the happy Russian and satellite
peopleS-are sheared like sheep, and
where the word freedom" means only
freedom for the capitalists to plumber
the worker without interference from
anyone" Our press, radio, televiSion,
political parties, labor unions, etc., ETC.,
are merely conSpiratorial instruments
that are used to exploit and Cypress
everybody. And what evil power is re-
Sponsible for this? Why, "the monopo-
lies" of course!-a little band of tyrantS
who operate behind the scenes (probably
in suite of rooms on Wall Street) pulling
strings that have the effect of impover-
iShing and enSlaving the rest of us.
Mr.. KhruShchev, it need hardly be
added, is an expert on monopolieS He is
one of the greatest living authorities, for
example, on the monopoly of the Soviet
Communist Party that brooks no political
opposition anywhere behind the Iron
Curtain or the monopoly of the Soviet
press that is completely controlled VEN
triloquist'S dummy; or the monopoly of
the Soviet judiciary that does exactly
what the Kremlin tells it to do; or the
monopoly of the Soviet collective lead
erShip' that is a total dictatorship hold
ing all power in its tough hands. Yes,
indeed, Mr.. KhruShchev most certainly
knows whereof he speaks when he speaks
of monopolies. In fact, it is only because
he is such mighty monopolist himself
one much too powerful to be laughed or
voted out of office by mere men in the
Street-that he is able to get away in
Russia with the kind of nonsense he has
just uttered about the real freedom that
really exists in our free world.

Sour Note at the Met

The wrangle that caused the Metro
politan Opera Association to threaten
cancellation of its 1861 season could be
described as comic opera in its purest form.
1t has all happened because one man,
Mr.. Bob Herman-whose father, inciden-
tally, was famous as ballplayer in the
daffieSt era of the Brooklyn Dodgers
holds two jobs with the association. In one
role, the young Mr.. Herman is an assist
ant stage manager and member of the
American Guild of Musical Artists In
his second role, Mr.. Herman is an assist
ant artistic director, representing man
agement in certain artistic ways, and is
consequently not eligible for union men,
berShip. The guild, unhappy about Mr..
HermanS status, wishes to bring charges
against him. The association, apparently
satisfied with Mr.. Herman's performances
in his dual role, wants union assurance
that he will not be expelled for doing his
proper job for management, and it has
declined to sign contract with the union
until such assurance is forthcoming. In
this unusual impasSe as contract dead
line was reached, the association an

the historic stage this year.
There is time, of course, for change
of tune from one side or the other and
new compromises are being considered
today. In 1948, the Met announced sea-
son cancellation because of another union
contract controversy, but the score was
revised in time to make belated opening.
One must hope that similar develop
ment will occur in this case, for to many
thousands of opera lovers, union and nom
union alike, the Nets season is great
Joy and a significant element in our ma
tional culture. AS for Mr.. Herman, his
versatility is hardly out Of keeping among
a cast that is equally at home among the
Egyptian pyramids of Aida or the Ger
manic courts of Tannhauser.

On July Is, through the medi-
UNI of a Federal court decision,
the Federal Government spoke.
The immediate issue is inte-

Nation for that matter. The
true issue is the degree of self
government which will be al
lowed by strong centralized
government. States rights is
part of this. Self determina-

real people that follow the

I like your newspaper and
have read it for IS years, daily

the last year or two one of
your best reporters has turned
sour on his assignment. Bur-
ton Hawkins is an excellent
writer and I've always enjoyed
reading his descriptions. Per-
haps I've just started noticing
it more, but last season began
what I consider an unwar-
ranted attitude by Mr.. Hawk
ms towards the Senators. He
has gone beyond the point of
humorous sarcasm almost to
being bitter in his reporting.
This is certainly not to say
that people want the Mats
viewed with rose-colored
glasses. But even when a
friend is beat and broke, you'll
stand up for him when he is
criticized at every turn. If
Burt feels his attitude can prod
the club into a better show
ing, then I'm all for him. But.
as I said before, there are still
a lot of folks who like to read

President Eisenhower is Still
rated tops in Massachusetts,.
He can in the opinion of astute
political observers. carry the
State against StevenSon-as
he did in 1921 any other
potential Democratic nominee
for President.
StevenSon'S only chance for
victory here, it is said, would
lie in the nomination of Sem
ator John F. Kennedy as his
running mate on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Admittedly, nomi-
nation of the youthful and
popular Senator for Vice Presi-
dent would greatly strengthen
the Democratic ticket in Mas
sachusetts. Kennedy, a Catho-
lie, would. it is believed, bring
back to the Democratic fold
many of the voters who slid
over and supported Eisenhower
four years ago.
Massachusetts, gave its cleo
toral votes to the late Alfred
E. Smith, Governor of New
York. in 1923 when the rest
of the country was going
strongly for Herbert Hoover.
1t continued to vote Demo-
cratic in national elections
until Eisenhower broke the
chain of victories.
No Strong Drive for No. 2 Spot
So far, there has been no
strongly organized drive for
Kennedy for Vice President.
It could be in the making, how
ever, and Stevenson has said
he has a high regard for the
Senator. At the recent Cover
nors Conference in Atlantic
City, Gov. Ribicoff of Connect
lieut., a Stevenson man, came
out strongly for a Kennedy
nomination. He was seconded
by Gov. Roberts of Rhode
Island. A Kennedy nomina-
ton to run with Stevenson
would help to remove the
handicap of ADA support,
which Stevenson had in 1852.
The ADA is distinctly not
popular with Catholic Demo-
cratic voters in this State.
