Solidarity in G. o. P. Ranks Likened
To Democratic Unity in 1886

most part, feel nowadays that
on the things that really mat
ter to them-the maintenance
of a sound economy with a
sound money system and a
restraint on extravagant
spending and borrowing-the
President has manifested a
sincere dedication to historic
Republican principles. AS for
the things that are called
liberal" in the social welfare
line. there are some differences
naturally as to the wisdom of
all the proposals offered. But
the significant thing is that
among conservatives now there
is wise tolerance-a tendency
to adopt a wait-and-see atti-
tude and let the experiments
be tested without making the
sort of protest that could split
the party wide open. Perhaps
the best reinsurance which
could have been given the con-
Servatives on this point was
conveyed to them by the Presi-
dent in his acceptance speech
when he said: Change based
on principle is progress but
constant change without prin-
ciple becomes chaos"
In that short sentence is
expressed the essential diff
ference between stumbling
radicaliSm and steady con-
servatiSm. The radical is in
cliIled to embrace any So
called liberal proposal as he
would a new fad without
thinking the plan through to
determine whether, despite its
lure as a vote-getting device,
it stands the test of SoundnesS
and practically or whether it
threatens to upset, if not de-
stroy, the economic structure
itself.
To see a united Republican
party after many years of
sharp division is a remarkable
development and is worthy of
analysis even though it didn't
command as much attention
last week as the humorous
attempt of Nebraska dele
gate to nominate the mythical
character, Joe Smith, for Vice
President. But perhaps this
did demonstrate the serious
fact that any real person could
have had his name offered for
President or Vice President if
sponsored only by a single
delegate.

Against these darkest Of the
dark quaint villains, the script
opposes Ford as a paragon Of no
bility and Juano Hernandez as
family butler of matching cour-
age and incorruptible decency.
In such dimensions. they are
a difficult group to accept In a
screen play whose incident must
surely have worked out excit-

interest in the original script.

q natural for expansion. In mag
nified form 1t comes up with
notable weaknesses, the most
serious of which is unreality.
: Characters in this tale OF kid
naping who looked so dramatic
cally intense in their original
scale become the purest Of melo-
dramatic exaggerations here.
This could be due to the un-

GENTLY so to emphasize that
there is q perilous difference

work Of Cyril Hume and Richard

the child snatcher than to pay

decision to make. one whose logic
is likely to end tragically and
which stamps its author as a
heartless pariah among his fell
low men.
The man willing to take this

Wedge Between GoP-Dixie
Coalition

A wedge apparently was driven
between the Republican and Dixie
cratic coalition on the civil rights
bill during a House session Thurs
day.
The difficulty arose when House
Minority Leader, Joe Martin (R.-
Mass crossed swords with Mis-
sissippi's Representative william
Colmer over political implications
Of the bill
The wrangle started over a mo-
ton offered by Rep. William E.
Miller, Republican Of New York,
that the civil rights bill be report
ed back to the house with recon-
mendations that the enactment
clause be stricken from the mea-
sure.
Following this motion, Joseph
Martin expressed regrets that
such recommendation would
come from his side of the aisle,
He warned his colleagues that
they must not fall into this trap,
He informed them that II they
scuttle this measure they will be
scuttling a bill recommended by
the President of the United States,
and formulated by the Attorney
General. He further warned those
on his side Of the aisle that II this
bin is killed the Republicans will
be charged with it's death. They
will be accused Of allying them
selves with the Southern Repre-
sntatives in the defeat Of the
measure.
Southerners Show Resentment
This statement brought resent.
mnt from the Southern group
Cong. Colmer, speaking for his
bloc, charged Martin with playing
politics with this measure without
considering the best interest OF
the country. He said he recalled
the time when the Republican
representatives welcomed the sup,
port from the small group OF
Southerners.
Martin took the floor again tC

sentative. He said he did not want
that group which he has the priv,
ilege of leading to defeat this

justice to all people.
