About the only mention of Eisen hower’s name came when Presi dential Adviser W. Averell Harn- man praised the efforts of the gen eral to organize Western Europe’s defense. » t Delegates cheered but they didn’t gather later to buzz each other about the possibility of having a military man at the head of the ticket they will pick in a Chicago convention the week of July 21, 1952. The district conference and na tional committee meeting here was that the Democrats recognize they are going to sink or swim with President Truman. If he doesn’t run himself, Mr. Truman will go a long way toward picking the nominee. The guessing on that score ranged largely to Eisenhower and Chief Justice Fred Vinson. There was practically no men tion of the members of the party who have gained national recogni tion recently, such as Senators Douglas (D-Ill) and Kefauver (D- Tenn). Senator Kerr (D-Okla), who was credited with making the bert speech of the convention in his at tack on the policies of Gen. Doug las MacArthur, drew some atten tion as a possible Vice-Presidential candidate. Few of the Democrats think, however, that if President Truman runs again Vice President Barkley will step out of the picture. If Mr. Truman doesn’t run, they say Barkley is likely to be replaced. Kefauver and Douglas might be appealing choices in that case. The Democrats’ favorite candi- CleiTlSOn UrOCS date for the Republican Presiden- ^ tial nomination apparently is Sen .

At the moment they do not think it was and have so stated publicly. I Yet, with the defeat of the latest 1 Red Chinese offensive in Korea, it; is certain that every word of pos sible information from the Com munist side is being carefully ex amined here and in other Western capitals for hints of an opening for negotiations on reasonable terms. What are the characteristics of a genuine peace feeler? As applied to the present situa tion there seem to be chiefly two in the minds of American officials. First, any move which the Rus sians or Chiniese Communists de sire to be taken seriously should be made through diplomatic chan nels; second, it should indicate some yielding in such Communist demands as Red Chinese member ship in the United Nations and ac quisition of Formosa. In diplomacy the “f e e 1 e r," whether for peace or some other purpose, is regarded as a legitimate and highly useful device. It en ables a government to find out what some other government may be willing to do without first hav ing to commit itself on a course of action. will get a bachelor of arts degree. Mr. Brearley, is pastor of Myrtle Beach’s First Presbyterian church and moderator of the Synod of South Carolina. His son Laddie has just completed four years as a student here. Another son, the Rev. Cecil D. Brearley, Jr., also finished at P.C., in 1943. It will be the second straight year of father-son acts for Presbyterian. The 1950 commencement exercises saw two such events: The Rev. Ryan L. Wood of West Palm Beach, Fla received a doctor of divinity degree at the same time his son Marion re ceived a BA. And even more unusual, T. O. Mc- Kecwn of Blackstock, was awarded his Bi>. degree 32 years late at the same time his son Robert received a B.S. The elder McKeown left col lege just before the end of his senior year to serve in the Navy in World War I. It was customary under, such circumstances then for degrees to be awarded, but application was not made in this case. He got the elusive sheepskin in 1950. New County Home To Be Built Soon Plans are now being completed for a proposed new county home, ac cording to Supervisor Bennie B. Blakely. Mr. Blakely stated that with the $17,000 allotted by the supply bill, and the use of convict labor, the commissioners expect to erect a home that would cost nearly $30,000, with capacity to accommodate 30 resi dents. The site will be the present one bo the old Laurens-Clinton high way. ... A “factory-new” brake system for your cat at amazing low cost.
