THE POLITICAL MILL
Democrats Falling Back on Slogan
By GOULD LINCOLN

The Democrats. 1t appears.
are going back to their tell
ing issue Of the l930s and
1940s-"You can't be pros
porous under Republican
rule" This time. according
to Democratic National
Chairman Paul NJ. Butler,
the main issue will be the
present high cost Of living.
And he ties to that a charge
that under the Republican
administration everyt hing
has been done for the bene-
ut Of the big businessmen
and the corporations and
nothing for the small family.
Whether Butler and the
Democrats can get away
with this remains to be seen.
At any rate, Chairman Butler
has brought to Washington
an array Of college professors,
economists, businessmen and
some politicians to advise the
Democratic Advisory Council
on how to make the high
cost of living issue effective
with the voters in the cam
paign Of 1858, when q new
Congress and Governors Of
many important States are to
be elected.
When President Eisenhow-
er was nominated In 1882
Just 20 years after Franklin
D. Roosevelt was chosen by
the Democrats as their pFesi-
Dental candidate and pro-
claimed the New Deal-the
Democratic forces tried the
old Roosevelt and Truman
plea that the election Of q
Republican President spelled
economic disaster. They tried
to scare the voters into sup
porting Adlai Stevenson, the
Democratic candidate. It
didn't work. There were too
many other issues pressing
on the voters consciousness
in those days-particularly
the Korean War and the
peace which Eisenhower
promised, corruption in high
Government posts. and the
need for a change after 20
years Of Democratic rule. But
the Democrats didn't give up.
Even a couple Of years later
they were suggesting the pos
sibility Of an approaching
depression, which the Repub-
licans called the gloom and
doom" issue Of the Demo-
Gratis. Nothing like that hap
pened. and Eisenhower swept
the country again in 1856.
AIcorn Answers Challenge
Republican National Chair
man Meade AIcorn has been
quick to take up Buffers
challenge on the high cost Of
living. With figures provided
by the Department Of Com
merce. the Republican chair
man asserted that while the
cost of living has gone up 2
per cent since the Truman
days Of 1852. the "median
family income in the United
States" has increased % per
cent; that the family income
In 1856 was 5000 higher than
in 1852, and that when the
increase in the cost Of living

liam Hines. The Star was
well and ably represented on
the open Hearing" news
interview with Gov. Faubus
of Arkansas.
Even though he interrupted
Gov. Faubus a few times, he
was only trying to obtain
specific and factual answers
to q grave situation which
the Governor created. Gov.
Faubus was ambiguous and
very vague in most Of his
answers, not only to Mr..
Hines questions, but also TO
the questions Of the other
newsmen. Mr.. Hines was only
trying to obtain some truth
full, straightforward answers
from a very reluctant, dou-
ble-talking Governor.
Earl N. Caldwell.
HA 80
1t is good to see q man like
Mr.. Hines show righteous
convictions when it Is the
time for them to be shown.
And Il is easy to see why in
this .callous world there
would be people for Gov.
Faubus and against Mr..
Hines.
(Afrs.) Pauline Livingston.
- AE
I write as q result Of the
letters in The Star criticis-
ing William Hines question
ing Of Gov. Faubus.
I did not see the program
on Tv, but heard 1t on the
radio.
While listening, / kept
thinking how fortunate srit
was that Mr.. Hines was on
the program. He seemed TO
be the only one Of the four
newsmen, with the possible
exception Of Bob Considine,
who really tried to get some
information from the eva
sive. stalling Governor: the
only one who showed his
realization Of his RESPONSE
bility as q newsman and Of
his responsibility to the lis
tenipg audience. He was
there to get the story Of the
reason for the Governors
action In using the National
Guard. He failed. Of course,
to get the reason, but he GER
stainly succeeded in showing
UP the entirely indefensible
position Of the Governor. 1t
was apparent that Mr.. Hines
was irritated. but that was
understandable and 1t was
nothing against him.
Subsequently / noticed the
AP story which mentioned
the hostility Of the crowd in
Little Rock to Mr.. Hines.
That in itself indicated that
he had done a good job.
! trust that you will con-
tinue to send Mr.. Hines to
trouble spots to dig out the
facts. His broadcast probably
won't set him q Pulitzer prize
but 1t should win him the
praise Of most Of the objec-
tive listeners.
Robert BradfieId.
-
I think The Star owes an
apology to no one for the
wonderful Job done by Mr..
Hines on the TV show. In
stead he should receive a
big pat on the back.
His efforts in behalf of
presenting and getting the
facts to the American people
clearly showed that racial
injustice is not an issue be-
tween white and coloredepeo-
pie but between good and evil,
and that any man who thinks
he's bigger than our Ameri-
can Government is actually
smaller than its people.
