Sidewalks are provided at
public expense, yet one must
pay to sit in a stand obstruct-
ing these sidewalks. Very little
space is left for any who want
to watch proceedings from a
standing position.
Our city government staff is
being used to inspect the tenn
po1ary seating for structural
defects. Are other inspection
duties being delayed? The
city's sanitation department
must clean up the debris that
inevitably results from such
a public gathering. The police
force must work overtime to
take care Of the crowds and
traffic. The Fire Department
probably helps with the dec
orations.
What revenue does the city
derive except some income
from taxes on businesses which
profit from the influx Of Wis

profit going to charity. How
ever deserving the particular

the whole thing legal?

THE POLITICAL MILL
G. O. P. Hope in Democratic Texas
BY GOULD LINCOLl

into a hard knot. Daniel, when
he was nominated for Cover
nor. sent a resignation to Gov.
Shivers, to take effect when
his successor qualified or on
January Is when he had to
take over the Governors Office.
Shivers held he could not APP
point q temporary Senator or
call a special election until
Daniels resignation was actu-
ally made. So the chance to
have Hutchinson run at the
same time President Eisen-
hover was carrying Texas
went by the board. It looks
as though the Democrats did
not want to take that chance.
The four Democrats who
have either announced or are
expected to announce their
candidates. for the Senate seat
are Representative Martin
Dies; Ralph w. Marlborough,
nosed out by Daniel in the race
for the gubernatorial nominal
ton last year: State Senator
Searcy Bracewell, running as
an Eisenhower Democrat"
and James P. Hart of Austin,
former justice of Texas SUI
preme court and chancellor Of
the University of Texas. At
torney General John Ben Shep-
perd has been mentioned, too.
Marlborough is a leader of the
so-called radical wing of the
party, and has a very consid-
cradle following. Blakley. the
newly appointed Senator, will
not be a candidate. he has said.
He is a businessman, not a
politician, a Texas millionaire
many times over.
OleS LeauS the rletO
A public opinion poll taken
among Texas voters not long
ago gave Dies the lead with 80
, per cent. Marlborough was sec
ond with q per cent, Brace
well had 4 per cent and so did
Hutchinson. and Hart brought
up the rear with 2 per cent.
This. however. left 80 per cent
undecided. Texas elections
have held many surprises in
the past. Further, Eisenhower
carried the State over Steven
son with a greater lead than
four years ago, despite the fact
that all the principal Demo-
cratic leaders, except Gov.
Shivers, were working for Ste
venson. including Daniel. Ray
burn and Johnson. The Demo-
Gratis remain split into a num-
Der of feuding factions.
Hutchinson might roll UP
quite a vote. He comes from
an old Democratic family in
Texas. He has many friends.
In the past, special elections
to fill vacancies in Office have
been won by percentages as
low as %, Is and 38 Of the
total vote cast. The odds. Of
course. are much against him.
But strange things have hap
pened in Texas elections. Tie
hard core Republican vote IS
rated at between 100000 and
100000, in a State which casts
around 2 million votes.

Smear me all over with
butter a piece of bread" says
the Pennsylvania Dutch child.
His English may sound a
trifle queer. but his heart is in
the right place.
So is his taste.
Nothing really tastes better,
in this world, than a good piece
of bread with good butter on it..
This good eatin' is as old as
the hills and twice as lasting.
The hills may disappear,
even, but bread and butter we
shall have with us always, as
long as the bakers bake and
the COWS moo.

"Kissin' wears out. cookin'

So they say, Allentown way.
Bread and butter means
home to most people.
Sure. you can get good eatin'
in restaurants, but the bread
and butter somehow lack the
real taste.
1t is that taste Of home.
Even the humblest place,
as the song said, is best.
especially If what is eaten has
the grace of good humor.
There is scientific backing
for bread and butter.
A great doctor once wrote
and we can show you the very
page-that bread with butter
compliments, for instance, the
poached egg, or any kind Of
egg.
Chemical elements in the
egg somehow demand chemical
elements in the bread.
The two blend, as it were.

Democratic leaders in Texas
and in the Senate figure the
majority Senate leadership has
now been made safe for
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson
through the appointment Of
William A. Blakley to fill the
Daniel vacancy in the upper
house. Blakley. although an
Eisenhower Democrat" an
nounced he would vote with
the Democrats on Senate Or
ganization If the issue should
again arise. Blakley was ap-
pointed by retiring Gov.
Allen Shivers. a leader Of the
Texas Eisenhower Democrats.
The only possible danger to
Democratic control of the
Senate from the Texas situa-
ton lies in the special election
Of a Senator which must be
held within the next 80 to 100
days. It looks now as though
the Democrats are planning
to close that loophole and take
no chances. Under the exist
ing Texas law. vacancies in
public elective Office are filled
by SPECIAL elections. for which
no primary nominations are
made. The special elections
are one-shot affairs. There
are no party designations Of
candidates on the ballots. And
finally. they are decided by a
plurality vote, with no run-of
provision.
COP. Has Candidate
The Republicans in Texas
have picked one candidate,
Thad Hutcheson, a young
Houston lawyer with a fine war
record. On the Democratic
side Of the fence, however,
there are at least four potential
candidates-and there could
be more. If they split the
Democratic vote widely, the
Republican could slip through
the opening to victory. Demo-
cratic leaders insist, however,
that this is entirely unlikely.
To make doubly sure, some Of
them are talking Of having the
Texas Legislature amend the
election laws (the Legislature
is on hand to do business) so
as to provide for primary
nominations when vacancies
are to be filled, and for a run
off. This would assure the
nomination of but a single
Democrat to run against the
Republican Hutchinson.
Since the State is over
whelmingly Democratic, a
contest of that kind would be
won almost before it began.
If the election laws are to be
changed. the Legislature will
have to act promptly. The
new Governor, Price Daniel,
has seven or eight days left
In which to issue a call for a
special election-an election
which must be held not less
than so days after the call
nor more than 90.

Nixon and Constitution

Interpreting the Constitu-
ton is a most intriguing pas
time. But when the Vice Presi-
dent takes up that sport one
cannot but wonder why he,
being a part of the legislative
branch of the Government
has allowed himself to be
drawn into the wholly uncon-
stitutional position of per-
forming services in both the
legislative and the executive
branches. I,
The Constitution makes him
the president of the Senate
with the power. in all cases
where the Senate divides
equally, to break the tie by
his own vote. All! What a
vote! The deciding vote!
When else is a single vote Of
such great Importance? The
Constitution gives the Vice
President no other duties.
Beyond cavii. he is. under
the Constitution. a part of
the legislative branch and Of
none other. The appropria-
ton for his salary and ex-
penses is carried in the Leg
islatiye Branch Appropriation
Act. 100
Yet the President puts him
in charge of such activities
of the executive branch as
he may believe the Vice Presi-
dent can execute to the salts
faction of the administration.
Under executive charter he
circumnavigates the globe, lat
itudinally If not quite longi-
tude-wise. In his absence in
the far corners Of the earth,
tie votes may come and go
in the United States Senate,
but he is not there, as the
Constitution intends, to save
from futility the proceedings
OF this great branch of the
legislative establishment.
The writer does not dis
parage the quality Of Mr..
Nixon's performance in the
executive field. The President
has sent him to Eastern Eu-
rope and he has brought back
his report and his recommen-
dations of what the United
States should do with respect
to Hungary. Some Of his rec
concentrations may require
legislative action. If a bill to
put any of Mr.. Nixon's rec
concentrations into effect
should reach the stage of a
tie vote in the Senate and
the Vice President should, by
chance. be at his post of duty,
which way will he vote?
What a foolish question! What
more fragrant violation Of the
principle of the separation of
powers. to which the trainers
of the Constitution paid such
ardent fealty and devotion,
can imagination conjure?
Thomas Jefferson, when he
was John Adams Vice Presi-
dent. declined the invitation
Of the latter to accept a post
in the executive branch on
the ground that he was. under
the Constitution, a part of
the legislative branch and
that he would not be a party
to violation of the principle
Of separation of powers.
Perhaps the Vice President
can be more useful as a part
of the executive branch.
Should that be desired, the
Constitution should be
amended as to so provide. and
his power to vote on legislation
should be repealed. Pending
that. Mr.. Nixon might we'll
follow the example of Thomas
Jefferson.
