The Real Eisenhower

Washington - It's sometimes
difficult at the Presidents press
conferences TO tell when he is
expressing his own ideas or voic-
ing somebody elses. There are
times, when the President looks
puzzled, scratches his ear, that he
is in fact. at least puzzled, At
other times when he is rafting
off something on which he has
been "briefed" it's obvious he is
moving in unfamiliar waters,
After four years OF covering his
weekly news conferences we read
lily confess our continuing bewil-
derment on this point. But we
think and mind you, historians
may prove this is totally wrong
that 1t was the real" Eisenhower
who got off the following COM
ment on the right-to-vote:
II in every locality, every
person otherwise qualified, or
qualified under the laws OF the
state 20 vote, is permitted to
vote, he has got means OF TAX
ing care Of himself and his group,
his class
He has got a means Of getting
what he wants in democratic gov
ernment, and that is the one on
which l place the greatest en-
/ phasis,'
In other words, the President
was trying to cut through the
carefully contrived confusion
created by opponents Of the meS-
sure who claim TO be concerned
about absence OF trial by jury
and the threat the federal troops
will keep black heels on white
necks."
When all the Verbiage Is
stripped away, it's this right 20
vote that really does concern
the southern politicians more
than anything else.
II the civil rights bin passes
without being too badly mangied
in the process, southern Poliu'
clans may find themselves bidding
for the support Of Negro voters
exactly as they claim Northern
politicians now DO. And why not :
They pretend to be urtuous a.

ern opponents are for civil rights

through with politics" But it's
not one sided.
Upsetting The Political Balance
You get some idea of why the
Dixie demagogues are so worried
when you look at the registration
statistics in several of the South
ern states. For example:
Alabama-the number of Ne
groes registered was 1913 of those
entitled to vote.
Arkansas-Only 29.2 per cent
Of the eligible Negroes were reg
istered.
Mississippi - The figure here
was lowest in the nation per
cent.
South Carolina-The latest fig
ures indicate 253 per cent Of the
eligible Negroes were registered.
Virginia-The total in this
cradle of democracy" is only 20
per cent.
It's not hard to understand why
the entrenChed Southern pohti-
clan is alarmed at the thought o:
100 per cent Of all eligible Me-
groes might get the right to vote,
even if only half Of them use it.
Dixie politicians, especially
those who have proved most re-
sponsive TO the demands of Big
Oil. the Power Trust and similar
special interests, will now have Il
spend some OF their time worry,
ing about the needs Of the less
privileged Negroes. And maybe
they'll even have to pay attention
TO the needs Of poor whites, too.
This right-to-vote business
could prove awtully firing for the
mint julep set.

At morning sessions of the VFW
and Ladies Auxiliary, Secretary
of State Frank Murray said the
State Board of Examiners is
fully prepared" to 60 to district
court to defend legislation calling
for bonus payments to Montana
Korean War Veterans. He ex-
planned that 1857 legislation calls
for a six-million dollar bond is
sue to finance the honorarium
with the fund to be paid for by
a special cigarette tax already in
effect. The question raised is
whether the legislature can create
a debt of that amount without the
voters approval.
Murray said the board, COM
prised of Gov. j. Hugo Aronson,
Atty. Gen. Forrest H. Anderson
and Murray, has engaged the serv-
ices of a legal firm experienced
in bond issues and finance mat
tiers.

to the Montana Supreme Court.
We have hopes that this test case
can be settled as early as possible
and we further feel that we are
working as rapidly as humanely
possible. Murray said he hoped
the bonus could be paid at least
by early spring of 1853.
Arnold Olson was another hon.
ored speaker.
Preceding the national officials
talk, the visitors were greeted by
Gov. j. Hugo Aronson, Mayor
Otto L. Brakeman and Chief of
Police John Fred.
John M. Mahan Jr., of Helena,
national junior vice commander,
gave a very inspiring talk at the
banquet on Saturday night. ut Is
time we rose up and acted as a
team, and we must do 1t with the
combined efforts of every man

Mahan said. I'VE will then be able
to tell our comrades in arms of

keep this country prepared for
war j.. because a bully will not
fight a strong and healthy man.
We must always keep the people
of this country aware OF COM
munism, both internal and exter-
nal" The speaker stressed that
our country's present actions must
be directed towards giving the
young men a greater respect and
faith in their country to instill
in them a desire to serve that
country.
Tribute was paid to Americas
military heroes at memorial serv-
ices at the Elks Temple Friday
night. The public was invited.
The parade was the final public
event of the three-day 35th en-
campment Of the mems organiza-
ton and the 30th encanpment Of

THE HUMAN
RACE ENDURES

Practically every speaker, in
Guiding those on the air and be-
hind the pulpit, and most of the
writers for the press, are busy
advertising the crisis at hand fol-
humanity.
This is the day Of great de-
cisions, they assert, almost in
unison and, upon the decisions we
make now rests the hope of hui
mainly for future years. The
general idea is to excite the emo
tons of readers and listeners and
thus persuade them to "unselfish
action" which, it is suspected,
they will not accept on the basis
of intelligent argument.
While the people of the world
do face great difficulties at the
present time, there is no reason
to believe that they are insur-
or that they are un-
surpassed in magnitude. Nearly
generation hears the same
argument advanced, as men and
women battle for political, social,
economic and religious aims.
1t may be encouraging to note
that, Sc far, the human race
has refused to commit suicide.
1t evidently possesses greater sta
than some of its members
would have us believe. Modern
civilization, despite crises, real
and imaginary, continues to
spread throughout the earth, and
men and women everywhere
seem to be making progress to-
ward the goal of better human
beings.
There are reasons why the
United States, as the wealthies
nation in the world, should make
an effort to extend help to the
peoples of under-developed and
var-torn areas. Intelligent analy-
lis of the world situation lends
support to the belief that such
assistance will, in the long run
,e definitely in the interest of
he United States and its people
There is no use, however, in
his connection, to continually
ny, "wolf, wolf, and depict the
ate of humanity as hanging On
he ropes, awaiting our action.
n fact, the suspicion is becom-
ng somewhat general that the
'eople are getting a little weary
( the never-ending pronounce
nents about crises and being told
What they must do, or not do,
n order to save humanity and
