THE POLITICAL MILL
DemOcr0ts Sp0ring for Nomination
By GOULD LINCOLN

hitting campaign along these
lines.
No one. however. gives the
Republicans q chance to de-
feat the Senator. Senator
Kennedy is q Catholic, and II
nominated win be only the
second member Of that
church TO receive q presiden-
tial nomination at the hands
OF one Of the major political
parties. The first was the late
Gov. Alfred E. Smith Of
New York. who was defeated
in 1928 by former President
Herbert Hoover. There is a
strong feeling that bigotry,
particularly in connection
with a presidential election
in this country, has greatly
declined in the last 80 years.
Certainly it should have. The
campaign against Gov.
Smith was one of the most
disgraceful that ever took
place in America.
Hartman May Have Fight
Gov. Hartman, despite
his age Che will be SO
in 1960) is believed to retain
the ambition to be nominated
for President. He was a can
didate in 1852 and 1856, and
in the latter year had the
support Of former President
Harry S. Truman, who fatty
predicted that If the Demo-
Gratis gave Adlai Stevenson a
second nomination, he would
be more badly beaten than
he was in 1852. And that
is just what happened. Gov.
Hartman, Notwithstanding
that this seems to be a
Democratic year." may have
a tough fight to win re-elec-
ton. depending on whom the
G. o. P. nominates for Cover
nor to run against him.
Gov. Williams of Michigan.
on the other hand, seems
to have everything his
own way in his quest for a
sixth consecutive term. He.
too, is a young man. But in
the last 10 years he has
turned Michigan away from
the Republicans and into the
Democratic fold. Mr.. Will
liams has the strong support
OF Walter Reuther and the
CIO. and perhaps of most of
the labor leaders. This should
be no handicap to a Demo-
crat seeking presidential
nomination. For organized
labor wields a powerful in
f1uence over the Democratic
Party.
Senator Symington also is
considered virtually certain
of denomination in the Mis-
souri, primaries on August S.
and of reelection in the fall.
The fifth potential presi-
dental nominee who is rum
ming for Office this year. At
torney General Pat" Brown
of California, is a candidate
for governorShip of his State
against Senator William F.
Knowland, Republican leader
OF the Senate. He stands a
good chance of victory-and
admittedly Senator Knowland
has an uphill battle, though
not an impossible one, to de-
feat Mr.. Brown. If Mr..
Brown should win in a big
way in California, now the
second largest State in Che
Union in matter of popula-
ton, he may become a seri-
GUS contender for the 1860
presidential nomination.

Inteqrotion Poll

The headlines poll Ac-
cepts Intergration at Strait
ford" and Poll of Stratford
High Parents Nearly 4 to l
for Integration" seem to indi-
cate that zeal for the ad-
vancement of a particular
social end" has somewhat
impaired a due regard for
traditional journalistic ethics.
AS neither of these headlines
appeared in The Star, and as
The Star seems to maintain a
regard for the journalistic
ethics mentioned, perhaps
The Star. in the interest of
truth, will print the following
facts concerning the so-called
poll" at Stratford.
There are approximately
$500 parents whose children
attend the Stratford Junior
High School (Arlington). OF
these. only the S9I PTA
members. presumed to be safe
bets for integration, were
polled. Thus we have, to be-
gin with, 1,500 minus 39l, or
1,109 Stratford High parents
who did not vote for integra-
tion. To these must be added
the 1877 PTA parents who
did not return ballots, max
ing a total so far of l,I09
plus 1877, or 1906 Stratford
parents who did not vo;e
for integration. To these must
be added the 40 PTS parents
who. surprisingly enough,
voted against integration,
making a total of 1,346 Strait
ford parents who did not-re-
peat, did not-vote for inte-
grafton, as against only 154
who did.
The question asked was,
do you favor some measure
Of integration if it becomes
necessary to prevent the clos
ing of the schools?" Many
were induced by this wording
to believe that the only alter
native to some measure Of
integration" is the permanent
closing of all the schools in
the county. This is, of course.
not true; but leaving this as
pect OF the situation aside,
the fact remains that only
154 out Of 500 Stafford par
ents voted for integration.
The proportion 154:l,5OO is
about as 1:10. The only legit-
innate headline which could
be written on the basis of
the so-called poll" of STRAIT
ford parents is:
"Only l in 10 Stratford

Postage Due

Rising prices. rising taxes,
rising postage and now a five
cent penalty for postage due.
What's to become of the small
business man? Go out of busi-
ness and try to get a job with
the Government after reach
ing middle age. or just give up
and go on relief? mo" / say,
never relief" we will manage
somehow.
The writer's husband runs
a small mail order business.
and postage due is a very big
item in his budget. This pen
atty can mean a terrific
blow to all mail order firms,
both small and large, and
doubtless will force many
small firms right out Of the
picture.
Like q bolt out Of the blue,
the Post ONCE suddenly de-
cides to clamp down. They
are not satisfied with a rise
in postage rates, they have
to strike while the iron is
hot" and go still further and
charge a f1ve-cent penalty
on every letter short Of post
age.
If the Post Once saw fit to
notify those affected, we did
not receive any such benefit.
The first we heard about it
was the night before, when
a well-known news commen-
tator announced it on his
broadcast.
It is high time q halt is
called on the penalizing of
honest, hard-working people.

THIS AND THAT
Ru HAADIEc rnAHriIIrI

Noises made by starlings
seldom receive the attention
they should, if novelty and
sweetness are esteemed.
Few bird friends would be
caught commencing one of
these hardy birds, but some
listeners might be willing,
secretly, to agree to their
ability as singers.
Tt is true they have no
readily recognizable song,
such as the wood thrush uses
to enchant his listeners.
Starlings cannot vocalize,
as does the mockingbird, or
the catbird.
Which raises the sudden
question. what has become of
the catbirds?
Did the severe winter, ex-
tending into the Deep South,
kill of hundreds, maybe
thousands, of them?
This year, so far, has seen
a distinct falling of in their
numbers in Washington and
nearby suburbs.
They were late in arriving,
and only a few came to
many yards. whereas in past
years catbirds were even
more numerous than mock
ers.

The starting whistles S
clearly, sweetly, much as
some small boy on a happy
vacation in the woods.
He has a variety Of odd
sounds though he never imi-
tates the rattling sound some
times made by the jay.
The Startling is a whistler,
and his notes have a slight
ventriloquist quality.
1t is impossible to rate this
bird properly without includ-
ing his whistling abilities.
Possession of a distinct
and easily recognizable song
is not essential. really. At
least, the starlings seem to
feel this way about it. and
so do their human admirers.
America is q cult-ridden
country, and one Of its pres
ent cults is oficial dislike Of
the starting.
This excellent and intelli-
gent bird was brought to
America.
1t did not ask to come here.
1t did not fly here.
II it makes a nuisance out
of itself, at times. this is be-
cause Of people who brought
1t here.
To place the blame on the
startling is another Of these
historic injustices Of which
our country's history is 50
full, and about which, un-
fortunately, we seem unable
to do anything.

The celebration Of this
July 4 should go down in the

The Gifted Ones

1t irritates me to see the
Congressman who are sup
posed to be running our
Government spend time and
money degrading other lives.
Some of the CongresSmen
would like to see Mr.. Adams
fired without even having
shown that he has done any
thing wrong. 1t is a social
custom to exchange gifts and
I know Of no reason why Mr..
Adams and Mr.. Goldfine
should not.
/, for one, would be much
happier and have a lot more
faith in our leaders If they
were not spending so much
time trying to run each
other down. Until we find
Congressman who do not ac-
cept gifts, they should not
object if someone else accepts
something from a friend.

What has become of taste
in exalted office. when a
President of the United
States, who admires and
needs Sherman Adams to
make his decisions for him,
visits for the first time in his
over five years at the White
House, the home of the first
President, and. stopping to
examine a sword in a display
case at Mount Vernon, quips:
do you suppose they in
vestigated him for accepting
presentS?"
Our First President was
most abstemiouS in accept
ing any gift, unless it was
one he could not with propri-
ETY. refuse.
In contrast, the gifts ac-
cepted by the current Pres
ident for his personal White
House collection and his
Gettysburg home and farm
are widely publicized as of
far greater monetary value
than those accepted by any
President since the founding
Of our Nation.
This pin-pointing of a
sword of honor from abroad
that was presented to our
first President brings into
sharp focus the great con-
traSt between Mount Vernon
and its owner and the Gettys-
burg estate of the current
President.

Barring some unforeseen
development. the Democratic
nomination for President In
1860 viii 80 to one Of q dozen
potential candidates, and
early IS 1t is. the iniighting
for the prize already is under
way. Five Of these presidenS
tial possibilities are testing
their strength with the voters
this year. while seven Of them
do not have to come before
the electorate. The five are
Senators John F. Kennedy
Of Massachusetts and Stuart
Symington Of Missouri, Cows.
Averell Hartman of New
York and O. Mennen VIII
liams Of Michigan, and At
torney General Edmund @.
Brown Of California.
The seven others, able in q
measure to rest their oars un-
til the preconvention cam
paign for the presidential
nomination begins in 1860,
are Senators johnson of
Texas, Kefauver Of Tennessee.
Humphrey of Minnesota,
Douglas Of Illinois and
Lausche Of Ohio and Gov.
Robert B. Meyner of New
Jersey and former Gov.
Adlai Stevenson of Illinois.
Public opinions polls taken
in recent months have shown
Senator Kennedy, Massa-
chusetts' youthful entry for
the Democratic presidential
nomination, running strongly.
Indeed. he has made the best
showing Of any Of the "possi-
bilities," both against other
Democratic candidates and
against possible Republican
nominees. The Senator is up
for reelection to his present
office next November and is
keeping his mouth closed
about 1860. His supporters in
Massachusetts,. however, are
doing plenty of planning and
plenty Of talking. And they
are hoping to roll up a tre-
mendouS vote for him in the
November election.
Cloud in the Sky
The only cloud in the sky
and that does not appear very
big-is the recent disclosure
in the House inquiry into
the Goldfine- Adams incident.
that Senator Kennedy's ia
ther, former Ambassador
Joseph Kennedy, loaned $400,-
900 to John Fox, publisher of
the defunct Boston Post, at
the time young Kennedy was
running for the Senate
against Henry Cabot Lodge.
then Republican Senator and
now United States AmbaSsa-
dor to the United Nations.
and the Boston Post had come
out editorially in support of
Mr.. Kennedy.
There is, Of course, nothing
wrong in the loan to Fox by
Mr.. Kennedy. Fox evidently
needed the money. But the
incident gives color to the
charge, made by Vincent Ce-
leste, whom the Republican
State Convention recently
picked for the party's sena-
torial nomination to run
against Kennedy, that Sena-
tor Kennedy's election in 1852
was the result of a financial
juggernaut, and that a
great deal Of money will be
spent this year to re-elect
him. Mr.. Celeste is prepared,
