Maine, politically at least,
is warming up. The Demo-
Gratis are to hold their State
convention March 20. Either
before that date, during the
convention or soon after
wards. Gov. Edmund S. Mus
kie, the Democrat who has
twice been chosen Governor
of this supposedly rock
ribbed Republican State, is
expected to announce he will
or will not run for Senator.
He already has said he will
not seek a third term as Gov
ernor. Some of the political
wiseacres say he will make
the race for Senator-againSt
incumbent Republican Sena-
tor Payne. The Senator said
last year he would not seek
reelection because of poor
health, but has regained his
health and now announced
he is a candidate. Gov. Mus
kie can have the senatorial
nomination If he wants it.
He undoubtedly had Repub-
lican support in both his
gubernatorial elections, but
whether he can hold this Re-
publican support when and
If he runs for Senator is an
other matter. Furthermore,
Senator Payne, who was Gov
ernor before he was Senator,
is likely to prove a strong
candidate. Gov. Muskie had
hoped to have as a running
mate-candidate for Cover
nor-Representative Fran k
M. Coffin, who carried the
I'd congressional district by
more than 1000 votes against
his Republican opponent.
Mr.. Coffin is regarded as at
least the second strongest
Democratic vote-getter in the
State. But he decided he pre-
ferred to run for a second
term in the House, and has
announced he is seeking re-
election.
MuSkie Must Decide
Gov. Muskie apparently
must decide whether he is
going into private life and
practice law again or con-
tinue. in the political and
public Office field. He has had,
1T is rumored, attractive offers
in private business. He could,
if he wanted, take a couple of
years off. and then run for
the Senate against Senator
Margaret Chase Smith. But
there is little percentage in
that for him. Mrs. Smith is
strong in her own right and
because of her record in
Congress. Further, If he de-
clines to run for Senator, as
Mr.. Coffin has declined to run
for Governor. the Demo-
Gratis have no strong candi-
dates to put up for these
principal Offices. James C..
Oliver wanted to run for
Senator but held of with
the idea that Gov. Mus
kie would seek the senatorial
nomination. Mr.. Oliver has
now announced he will try
again to defeat Republican
Representative Robert Hale
in the 1st congressional dis
trict. This has strengthened
belief that Gov. Muskie
will get into the Senate race.

Railroads in Trouble

Your story, Train to New
York Is Definitely in Trou-
ble," recalls that a railroad
president said the trend is
that we will continue to get
out of the passenger business.
If the Government would
take over the stations. this
would provide an additional
income for the railroads.
Frank Barton. counsel for
the Senate Commerce Sur
face Transportation Subcom-
mittee. says the railroads
haven't kept up with the
times and haven't met COM
petition. That is correct, but
I wouldn't say they are sacro-
sanct about themselves, just
parsimonious.
Senator Smathers, chair
man Of the subcommittee,
suggests that the Govern
ment will take them over.
Why would our Government
want them?
Robert Young asked for
better transportation. Why
not blaze some new trails2
Use the monorail system, on
a straight line from one big
city to another nonstop, as
the airlines do.
I went to work for a rail-
road at the age of is and
worked "a years. They con-
verted from steam to diesel
and cut of every employe
possible.
Now the railroads are get
ting some OF the treatment
they have given thousands of
their employees the past 40
years.

Printing the Pump

A recent article by Jack
Bell informs us that about
5000 million is about to be
released to make loans avail
able.
An additional $l86 million
is to be used for water re-
source developments.
Various other WPA-type
projects were also proposed.
An article in another paper
states the United States plans
to substitute Tunisia and
Morocco to the tune of 500
million.
Not being an economist,
it appears to me that money,
which we do not have. is
going to be spent for projects
we could do without. so
money can be given, with
absolutely no chance of re-
payment. to countries which
should take care OF them
selves.
Being one of those few who
believe that what this coun-
try needs Is a four-cent
stamp, 1 also believe that an
extra $40 in the pay envelope
each payday would put the
money where it is needed
most, in the home to buy
good food and decent cloth
ing, not in the bottomless
rat hole-foreign aid; not in
WPA projects to be cluttered
up with trash and empty
beer cans.
If something is to be done
which will help our sagging
economy. the income tax
structure should be imme-
diately revamped, putting
money where it is needed
most-in the pockets of the
low income group. This should
be done right now. Besides
I'm awful tired of hot dosS
and beans.

refute the untrue and dema-
gogic statements by our
opponent"
The opponent is Baltimore
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro,
Democratic. nominee for the
Senate. Senator Beall's an
nouncement came on the heels
of some strong criticism of him
by Mr.. D'Alesandro during the
week end.
The squad will be headed by
Lyman A. FRESHMAN. Baltimore
lawyer and frequent critic Of
the D'Alesandro administration.
The object: ITO give Mary
landers the truth about Mr..
.D'AleSandro."
Senator Beall's headquarters
said Controller j. Millard
Tawes, Democratic nominee for
Governor on the same ticket
with Mr.. D'Alesandro, had
planned to use Mr.. Pressman's
services in the same manner
when Mr.. Tawes and Mr..
D'Alesandro were running for
the gubernatorial nomination.
This plan was changed,
however" the announcement
said. after Mr.. D'Alesandro's
deal-inspired switch from the
gubernatorial race to the cam
paign for United States Sena-

Mr.. FRESHMAN is to appear on
television this week to kick on
the Truth Squads" campaign
with a discussion of ''Mr. DALE
sandro's indifference to the
needs Of the poor and helpless
people of Maryland"
Mr.. D'Alesandro accused Sem
ator Beall Saturday of being
"callous and harsh in dealing
with legislation for the benefit
of the needy aged. the blind and
the totally disabled"
