THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
California Tough Nut for G. O.P.

Senator william F. Know
land and the Republicans of
California have realized for
some time that California
will be a tough nut for the
COP. to crack this year. The
primary elections for guber-
national and senatorial and
other nominations on Tues

ion. Popular Democratic At

nations. Senator Knowland,

nomination, but Mr.. Brown.
who won the Democratic
nomination. polled a bigger
Republican vote than the
Senator's Democratic vote
in the cross-filing permitted
under the States primary
laws.
This is first blood for the
Democrats-but 1t does not
end the race for Governor.
Senator Knowland is a hard
and resourceful campaIgner,
and after Congress ends it's
session this summer. he will
be free to travel over the
State. seeking votes as ne has
not been able to do because
of his senatorial duties.
Further, the Senator will

plans to stump the State in
no uncertain fashion. On Mr..
Browns side will be the lead

have taken a strong hold on
the Democratic Party in
California, as in other States.
They are violently opposed
to Senator Knowland, who
has made a prime issue of
the so-called right-to-work
proposal. They will do their
utmost to kill off the Sena-

Frances Crisis

area of Southern France on
how disturbed we are at the
exaggeration of the news as
published in the States of
recent political events in

is more apparent in Paris.
though 1 doubt it. I suspect
that a dramatic situation
brings out creative instincts
in newspaper correspondents.
I assure you that the one
political assembly that l at
tended during this whole pc
riod was less exciting than an
election year rally in Bridge
port.
What is interesting to
social scientists is the way
in which a change in ad-
ministration Is taking place
through a series of compli-
Gated maneuverS. If you are
interested in politics or his
tory, this is a perfect time
to be in Europe for dis
passionate observation. The
apathy of the French is
merely their realism in dis
counting dramatic proclama-
tions used in rallying politi-
cal support. I only wish that
Americans had an equal
amount of realism in their
reactions to political slogans.
I am equally distressed by
the cancellation of Memorial
Day services for the Ameri-
can soldiers buried in France.
There were important rea-
sons for not holding the
ceremonies at the military
cemeteries, but l feel that
they could not have been
half as important as honor
ing those men who died to
liberate France. Such timid-
ity on our part will not win
the respect of the French
and in effect seems to say
that we have no confidence
in their capacity to run an
orderly society. From all that
I have seen, they have every
such capacity.
Above all, whatever re-
adjustments are being made
here, they will not harm the
tourist, and I can honestly
say that Americans are
warmly welcomed, with a
genuine feeling, as one Of
Frances Oldest allies.

May l not, along with
many friends of France, pay
tribute to the virtues of
Charles de Gaulle? He is the
greatest Frenchman alive to-
day. He is truly a patriot,
and is trying to keep aloft
the sagging banner OF the
French Republic.
How can America expect
10 win a war with our arch
enemy Russia unless we
americans cooperate with
our one true friend and ally
France? France came TO our
assistance when We needed
friends during the American
Revolution. We should stand
by France today, and help
Gen. de Gaulle save France
from communism.

To Secure These Rights

nonlic independence of women,
she encouraged them to venture
into new occupations and to ask
for equal pay for equal work.
Concerned over their low wages
and long hours, she saw in the
vote the most effective remedy
and did her best to enlist the
interest of ge-earning women
in woman suffrage.
After the Civil War when the
18th and 18th Amendments to
the Constitution were proposed
to extend civil and political
rights to male Negroes, she saw,
as few women did at the time,
an opportunity to extend these
same rights to women who had
made a tremendous contribution
toward winning the war. Failing
in her efforts to bring women
specifically under the provisions
of these amendments, she voted
in the presidential election of
1872, claiming her right as a
citizen to vote under these
amendments. She was arrested
for voting Illegally, tried, and
fined, but the far-reaching court
decision on the rights of women

The Greeks Hold a Word -
And Now, Angling For Success

IN YEARS agone when some Of
us were brash young squirts TAX
ing high school geometry, we used
to wrestle with the ancient prob
lem of trisecting an angle.
The Greeks had a word for it
impossible" Time at last con-
WINGED us that the Greeks were
right. But now comes a dispatch
from Washington. 1t says a Rus
sian-born artist living in Hawaii
claims he has solved three prob
lens deemed impossible for 1000
years. Using only compass and
straight edge, he says, he can:
1-Trisect an angle.
Square a circle.
3-Double cube.
The dispatch tells us the artist,
who makes his living painting
portraits, copyrighted his mathe-
NAUTICAL systems Feb. II at the Lii
brary of Congress. He says they're

To strive for liberty and for a
democratic way of life has al
ways been a noble tradition of
our country. Susan B. Anthony,
whose birthday we celebrated on
Feb. Is, followed this tradition.
So convinced was she that the
principle of equal rights for all,
as stated in the Declaration of
Independence, must be expressed
in the laws of a true republic
that she devoted her life to the
establishment of this ideal, turn
ing first to the abolition of Negro
slavery and then to winning civil,
economic, and political rights for
women.
A little over a hundred years
ago she started up he long road
toward women's economic eman-
cipation by petitioning the New
York Legislature for property
rights for married women so that
they could collect their own
wages. At the same time she
petitioned for the vote to make
it possible for them to preserve
these rights once they were
granted.

SOMEHOW this expression Of
hope reminds us of the youthful
Lindbergh. On his lonely flight
across the Atlantic he carried let
tiers of introduction. They were
addressed to prominent persons he
hoped to meet in case he sue
ceeded in landing at Paris. Well,
he made it, but somehow he didn't
seem to need those written intro
auctions.
All of us who've ever tuss1ed
with Euclid hope this Russian
born Hawaiian chap has made it,
too. We'd like to see him divide
an angle into three equal parts;
square a circle; double a cube.
If he can come up with classical
proof for any one Of those "impos-
sibles," he need no longer hope
for publishers. He'll need a good
stout hickory straight-edge to
drive 'em away.

New Orleans %, La.
Dear Mr.. East:
The chance to visit with you
the other evening was the one
bright spot in an otherwise de-
pressing two days in a small
town in Mississippi. To see in
that town how the colored peo-
pie suffered under constant hui
initiation and how the white
people suffered under feelings of
guilt, fear and pride was a most
depressing experience.
On top of this, both sides
showed signs of being bound
rather than freed by their reli-
gion a primitive type of Cal
vinism. 1t depressed me because
| it seemed to me that if they
could forget their superordinate-
subordinate quiet little town.
Why do they make life so diff
cult?
/ have only known about you
and your writing for about two
weeks - a mutual friend intro
duced me to you through some
back issues of your paper. !
have read them, but / really
haven't gotten to know you well
enough yet to be entitled to ex-
press any comments on your
views. Recognizing this, I never
theless would like to make some
comments on your recent EAST
Side" editorial on religion.
I found myself in agreement
with you on so much of it. And
your induction into membership
in the Methodist Church was
hilarious, though perhaps pain
fully true. But at one point /
couldn't go along with you - 1t
was when you said you wished
you could be Christian but
could not because you were not
good enough to live up to its
high principles, or words to that
effect. q have returned that
issue to our friend and hence
cannot quote directly.)
! I do not know how far you
had tongue-in-cheek when you
said that. / suspect you were at
least in part taking a crack at
the self-righteousness and hypo-
crisy you have seen in the lives
! of Christians and not alone in
Mississippi
But taken at its face value
your statement is of course a
statement in pride rather than a
statement in humility. I'm sure
this comes as no revelation to
you.
Pivoting on this statement of
yours let me explain religion as
I see it. l am a Christian, and /
admit in all candor that / am a
hypocrite among hypocrites. But
that is just the point. The thing
J, that keeps me a Christian is the
fact that $50 of the time | seem
to be thinking the thoughts and
doing the deeds that / know
darn well / shouldn't be thinking
and doing.
If I ever made enough head
way so that / seemed to doing
what / ought to be doing at least
5I%o of the time l could probably
do without Christianity. But it
seems that in the go OF time
that am not being cussed / have
got to cry out to whoever is re-
sponsible for all of this - and
l am reasonably well convinced
that someone must be - Have
mercy on me, a $3.50 sinner!
| when the church calls me a
1000 sinner it seems to me they
are carrying things little too
far.)
