Remnants
End Drought Season

The remnants of hurricane
Oracle brought an end to the pro-
longed drought in the area, but
the predicted drenching did not
come to pass.
There we're announcements yes
terday for Western Maryland to
be on the lookout for eight to ten
inches of rainfall but Oracle" be-
came erratic and changed course
and the mountains ended up with
a rainfall of 1.58 inches during the
two day spell.
Preparations against a possible
flood were made by some of the
stores in the business area of Oak
land. At the F. A. Smouse grocery
some of the heavy produce was
placed above the flood water mark,
while at the HIP Store all of the
merchandise was piled on tables.
At one time last evening there
was a feeling Of concern as the
creek began to rise, but the down.
pour lasted only minutes. This
morning the creek was just a lit
tie more than the way it had been
for the past month or more.
Ralph Weber, veteran weather
man for the government, just south
of town, said the barometer was
rising and that the rain probably
would cease sometime today.
Days of the week until Tuesday
had been clear and hot. Tuesday
became cloudy and some rain fell
Tuesday night More rain fell We'd

most Of the night but it was done
most gently.

ton campaign.
The Nation is less torn by
undue factionalism than in
many a year. The Eisen-
hover administration, what
ever its shortcomings, has
never sought political capi-
tai by promoting hatreds
among the people. The oppo-
sition D e mocra tic Party,
whatever its faults, has been
equally decent in prolong-
ing the national era Of rea-
sonably good feeling.
The country itself is on the
whole prosperous. Perhaps
there is a gross materialism
in some of the fanciest of
the shopwindows here and
there. But, far more import
ant, even this excessive ma
terialism reflects the fact
that the goods of life are
more widespread than ever
before.
Great problems remain un-

so remain when another

prestige with his own people
as q powerful influence in
world affairs because of the
decision to hold the big East

Paris. He likes to feel that the
world leaders come to him.
But Moscow must be smil-
ing. For inside France are
plenty of Communist mem
bers of Parliament, to say
nothing of Communist-mind-
ed individuals in the univer-
sites and the press. who
manage to WELD considerable
influence in shaping French
policy. They are said to be
very active in fostering a
naughty and arrogant atti-
ture toward the United
States, on the theory that
this fits in with Gen. de
Gaulle's passion for attention
and increased personal pres
tlge.
These moods in interna-
tional affairs are temporary.
Fortunately, the type of fric-
tion reported recently in dis
patches from France doesn't
last too long and permanent
prejudiceS do not have a
chance to develop.
President Eisenhower is

semblance of unity in be-

France could some day make
Gen. de Gaulle aware that
this is 1859 and not 1914 or
1899, and that missile war
fare and nuclear weapons do
not permit time for bicker-
ing about questions like

all, America, at first reluct-
ant, did merge its forces un-

Eisenhower, at the invitation

instances the necessity for

dawn departures and the
usual mishaps Of campaign
ing, is gay. But gregariouS
and inquisitive as he is, the
Governor gave no real clue
to the intentions he will dis
close shortly after the new
year begins.
Both Rockefeller and
Stevenson are conventional
men, at ease in the institu-
tions to which they were
bred. They are not exhil-
arated by the prospect of
having to battle party or
ganizations; they would pre-
fer cooperation. This it ap-
pears neither will get, even
though they stress their
team-play dispositions.
Rockefeller appears to
have trouble accepting the
frequent lack of logic in
politics. He comes of a plan
ming family which begins by
diagnosing the problem. AS
he travels about the coun-
try rarely greeted by the
friendly paw of a Republi-
can Governor. it is obvious
to him that his party needs
a broader base.
In the business he is used
to, if profits were scarce the
stockholders would demand

Southerners," while privately
angry about the Senator's
humorous dismissal of them,
and his alliance with hogs,
cattle and corn, know he is
the one big hope to hold the
congressional party together.
While Snarling and swapping,
they plainly see that the big
Texan is engaged in a ma
tional wrestling match with
Eastern interests. Therefore.
since they do not love him
more, but the Fasteners
less. they suffer in silence
and hope that Lyndon will.
indeed, be a kingmaker at

There are indications the
so-called Truman bloc is
watching Senator JohnSon's
skillful campaign with ad-
miration and interest. 1t is
just possible that this bloc
may throw in with him If it
thereby could assure him Of
a king-maker role. This
certainly will be done if the
end result would be the coro-
nation Of Senator Symington
Of Missouri. At any rate, the
possibilities of a Johnson

real.

Johnson's hopes in the Mid

Democratic Office holders of

RockefeIIer-Stevenson Contrast

In this case, his party's lack
OF interest in the vote-getter
who almost alone saved it
from utter rout last year
seems to battle him COM
pletely. Yet he is reluctant
to place his standard in the
hands Of party rebels, anna
teurS and dissidents.
Stevenson could solve his
problem either by admitting
his availability and showing
fight or by throwing his sup
port to another candidate.
Nothing but such a choice
among the other possible
candidates, plus an exodus of
Stevenson lieutenants into
other camps, would convince
the hard core of Stevenson
support that its case was
hopeless.
So long as Stevenson him
self declines to choose a ia
vorite among the Democratic
field, he will himself be a
candidate no matter what he
says. Even a Gen. Sherman
type of statement would not
finally discourage his kind
of following.
Democrats believe both the
Vice President and Rookie
feller would be formidable
opponents, but they would
expect fewer inroads on their
strength from Nixon. Pro-
Nixon Republicans say that
