WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS
1948 Election Campaign Hits Stride
As Democrats, GOP Vie for Labor;
Soviets Aggravate Berlin Situation
By Bill Schoentgen, WNU Staff Writer
(EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinion, mrc ezproooed In these colomne. they are those of
Western Newspaper Union's news noalysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.)
THE GOLDEN KEY . . . Trygve Lie, secretary-general of the United
Nations, beams as he accepts from former French Premier Robert
Schtunan a golden key as a symbol of France’s temporary surrender
of sovereignty over the Palais de Chaillot, where the U. N. general
assembly opened on September 21. What treasures of peace that
key might unlock this year is a question that gives panse to the
entire world.
CAMPAIGN;
Trumpets Sounded
Politicians cleared their throats
as with the sound of trumpets, and
the 1948 presidential election cam
paign swept into motion.
The first skirmish between Demo
crats and Republicans featured
President Truman and Harold E.
Stassen, who carried the word of
their respective parties into the
great industrial area around De
troit.
THAT INDICATED that, for the
time being at least, the pivotal fac
tor directing the policies of both
GOP and Democratic campaigns
would be the labor vote.
To win the election this Novem
ber Mr. Troman probably will need
the same proportionate amount of
the labor vote that turned out in
favor of Roosevelt in the 1932, 1936
and 1940 campaigns. Whether he
will get it is very much open to
question at this stage.
Truman
Launching his battle for re-elec
tion in the Detroit area over the
Labor Day week-end. President
Truman fired at will.
AT GRAND RAPIDS. Lansing.
Detroit, Pontiac and/Flint he ex
horted all the “little people" of the
U. S. to register and vote in the
November 2 election.
If a heavy vote turns out, he In
sisted, not only will he be re-elected,
but the Republican majority in con
gress will be replaced by a Demo
cratic one.
"IF YOU STAY home next No
vember and keep these reaction
aries in power, you will deserve
every blow you get and you can
expect a barrage of body blows,"
said Mr. Truman. This was a repeti
tion of an idea—that “you’ll get
what you deserve”—which he had
expressed earlier in the year and
which, at the time, was received
with some animosity by the people
to whom he addressed it.
"You can elect a reactionary ad
ministration and go into an era of
fear, or you can elect a congress
and an administration that stand
ready to play fair with every elem
ent of American life and enter an
era of new hope. We’re in a hard,
tough fight against shrewd, rich op
ponents. They don’t count on your
vote; they just don’t want you to
vote.”
Judging from his Labor Day
speeches. President Truman is
planning to shape his campaign
around these contentions:
1. THAT THE MAIN issue boUs
down to Republican special privi
leges as against Democratic con
cern for the little man.
2. THAT THE “DO-NOTHING
80th congress, under GOP control,
has done nothing to justify its re-
election.
3. THAT ANYTHING EXCEPT
an all-out vote by labor on election
day “would be a betrayal by la
bor of its own interests.”
4. THAT IF THE MASS of the
nation's voters go to the polls on
election day a Democratic victory
is assured.
Stassen
Just a step and a half behind Mr.
Truman came Harold E. Stassen,
striving valiantly to scatter the
coals of the bonfire the President
had kindled in Detroit.
Apparently blessed by Thomas E.
Dewey. GOP presidential candidate,
Stassen’s speech in the motor city
was billed as the official kickoff of
the Republican campaign.
Employment Record
The U. S. rounded the turn from
summer to autumn with its civilian
employment at the highest fevel in
the history of the nation.
Approximately 61.5 million work
ers are employed, while the unem
ployed number only 2,227,000 as
compared to more than 12 million
during the gloomy depression years
of thr early 1930s. Personal pros
perity ^iow depends, however, on
the impact of infiation.
STASSEN SPARED no words in
taking President Truman to task,
referring to him as a “complain
ing" failure who had resorted to
“demagogic appeals" in seeking re-
election.
Specifically, he charged that Mr.
Truman had “dishonored labor
with an extreme demagogic appeal
to set clas$ against class.”.
In thus resorting to the time-hon
ored political device of attacking
and reproaching the opponent from
a personal standpoint, Stassen had
gone Mr. Truman one better. In
his Detroit addresses the President
did not even mention Thomas
Dewey.
THE DEFEATED GOP aspirant
for the party’s nomination declared
that Mr. Truman had come not to
laud labor for its record, but “as a
complaining candidate for election
seeking labor’s vote.”
“His scolding, threatening, com
plaining speeches" indicated that
he lacks the leadership “in affairs
at home and abroad so vitally need
ed in these next crucial years.” said
Stassen.
“He failed when he had a Demo
cratic congress to work with.
“He failed when he had a Repub
lican congress to work with.”
TURNING TO THE poliUcal foot
ball which the election year has
made of the issue of Communist
activities in the U. S., Stassen as
serted that the Republican party
is “driving the red herring out of
the official waters of the Potomac”
by means of congressional inquiries
into the Communist problem.
“Too many red herrings have
been in Washington for too long a
time,” he blasted. ‘The President
should help man the red herring
nets instead of complaining against
the fishermen.”
BERLIN:
More Trouble
i There was, it appeared, no end
to the Russian-sponsored trouble in
Berlin, and it was having its grimly
detrimental effect on the fiber of
the peace.
Latest incident piled atop many
other instances of petty Soviet en
croachments, needed little more
than a small flame to turn into a
funeral pyre for what is left of
world harmony.
IT WAS A FLAGRANT invasion
of American offices in the Berlin
city hall by armed Russian-con
trolled police who kidnapped 19
western sector policemen who had
sought sanctuary in the building.
What the purpose of the raid was
never became quite clear. On the
surface it looked like pure terror
ization carried out as part of the
overall Soviet plan eventually to get
control of the entire German capi
tal.
AN AMERICAN protest by Col.
Frank Howley, American comman
dant in Berlin, was rejected blunt
ly by the Soviet commander, Maj.
Gen. Alexander Kotikov, who flatly
warned the U. S. officials “not to in
terfere in matters which don’t con
cern them."
Kotikov’s letter followed rejection
of French protests that demanded
the release of another 19 anti-Com-
munist western sector policemen
who were kidnaped by Soviet police
while traveling in a French convoy
under a Russian guarantee of safe
conduct.
In the face of these intolerable
developments, how could East-West
negotiations for a Berlin agreement
continue? Apparently they couldn’t,
except under almost impossible
strain.
SECRETARY OF STATE George
Marshall charged that the Berlin
city hall kidnapings were aimed,
at least in part, at disrupting the
talks by the four military gover
nors who were, ostensibly, seeking
the road to a settlement of the Ber
lin problem and the issue of uni
form currency.
Thus, it was easy to understand
why U. S. diplomatic authorities
were concerned with the possibil
ity of an early collapse of the for
mal negotiations. It was likely that
the Kremlin would be the first to
flash the red light.
CABINET;
Sil Vous Plait
They couldn’t find a government
in France. As a political situation
that appeared slightly ludicrous
from across the Atlantic, but
Frenchmen were becoming sorely
worried for fear that they had losf
the ability or power to govern them
selves.
AFTER PREMIER Andre Marie’s
cabinet fell. President Vincent Auri-
ol appointed Robert Schuman as
premier and gave him the usual
instructions to form a cabinet.
Schuman duly gathered together
an administrative body and then,
64 hours later, watched it fall apart
when he was defeated on a techni
cal proposal to postpone questioning
of the new cabinet by the national
assembly. In short, he failed to gel
the necessary vote of confidence.
Desperate by this time, President
Auriol then named Henri Queuille,
veteran Radical Socialist to suc
ceed Schuman.
WHAT QUEUILLE could do to
produce some kind of order put of
political confusion and economic
travail no one knew. He is 64 years
old, a little known political figure
in France and was a wartime as
sistant of Gen. Charles DeGaulle.
The situation pointed up the
alarmed belief, becoming more pre
dominant in France, that no indi
vidual or group can command the
working majority that will enable
him to govern the ration success
fully.
It is a paradox that th$ parties in
the moderate center of the political
scale in France can speak for less
than 25 per cent of the people. Gen
eral DeGaulle, on the right, com
mands 45 per cent of the vote, and
Communist groups hold another 30
per cent.
Although the past few weeks have
not been conducive to a coherent
examination of the political situa
tion in France, the principal trend
seems to be toward a return of Gen
eral DeGaulle and his right-wing
beliefs to power.
ANYTHING NEW
Bloomin' Sage
That sagebrush is mighty pretty
when it blooms purple, and the song
writers can’t be blamed for mak
ing something out of it.
But out West they hate that sage.
It swathes nearly 96 million west
ern acres in a tough, resistant
blanket, and ranchers and federal
range managers alike consider it
an almost complete nuisance.
THEY WANT TQ REPLACE the
whole 96 million acres with nutri
tious grasses for cattle and sheep.
Some of the sage would have to be
retained to prevent erosion, but
most of it could go.
They were talking about the prob
lem of eliminating sagebrush at the
annual meeting at Fort Collins,
Colo., of the American Society of
Agronomists and the Soil Science
society.
Despite efforts to control or eradi
cate it, the sage continues to spread
and probably covers a greater area
now than before the pioneer settlers
went West.
MOST HOPEFUL development la
the new brush-land plow, 10 of which
are being built for further trial.
Also, congress will be asked next
year to provide more money for
range reseeding and improvement.
About five million acres of west
ern range already have been re
seeded. These pastures almost in
variably carry more ^nutritious and
abundant food for cattle than the
original prairie, according to U. S.
forest service officials. Animals
make better gains on it.
IN THE LONG RUN that could
mean more and cheaper meat
Lip Service
First frothy by-product of the
fermentation of the 1948 presi
dential campaign is the “Dewey
duster," a false, Deweyesque
mustache to tickle the fancy of
stiff-upper-lip Republicans. Soon
to appear on store counters across
the nation, the gadget consists
of a bit of black chenille clipped
to the upper lip in true-blue GOF
style.
POLIO;
Mice Cured
Columbus university has an
nounced the development of a new
sulfa-type drug, called Darvisul,
that cures one kind of infantile
paralysis in mice and is also a suc
cessful preventive to the disease
in mice.
Despite extensive tests during the
past summer, it is still not known
whether the new drug will prove
effective against polio in human be
ings.
Nourishing Boxed Lunches Are Hard to Resist
(See recipes below)
Lunch Box Magic
WHILE THE YOUNGSTERS

New Unit Improves
Ventilation of Bam
Dairymen Find Device
Particularly Effective
Many of a cow’s troubles can be
traced to heat and humidity. A
cow, unlike a human being, can
perspire only through the mouth.
So when the temperature and hu
midity inside a bam get high, the
animal becomes uncomfortable and
stubborn, particularly at milking
time.
According to the department of
agriculture, an average cow gives
off almost a pint of water every
hour through breathing. In addi
tion to the high humidity caused
by this breathing, a cow has an
extremely high body temperature.
During the winter monthr, when
the cows are in the bam most of
the time, this combination results
in generation of an enormous
amount of water vapor and heat.
When the warm, moisture-laden air
comes in contact with the cold
walls, condensation occurs and
frost is formed.
The net result to farmers is rot
ting beams, joist and siding; a loss
of hay because of mold created by
moisture and frost; milk contami
nation, disease, particularly among
the young stock and reduction of
milk production because of discom
fort to cows.
A simple solution to all of these
costly problems is an automatic
cooling unit, which is proving pop
ular with dairy farmers.
These automatic ventilation units,
easily installed, reduce condensa-

tion to a negligible degree—less
than 2 per cent. This action, in
turn, decreases bam deterioration,
hay mold, milk contamination and
disease. It also provides much
more comfort for the cows and in
creases milk production. In addi
tion, working conditions for the
operator are much more pleasant
The cooling units are equipped
with an automatic “airswitch”
thermostat
Higher Yields Outweigh
Cattle Spraying Costs
An increase of $3.75 per head more
than covers the cost of spraying
beef cattle with DDT, it was re
vealed in a test of the value of fly
control conducted at the University
of Illinois college of agriculture.
Protected cattle gained about 15
pounds more per head during the
pasture season than a group that
had not been sprayed. At 25 cents
a pound, an increase of 15 pounds
a head amounts to $3.75 a head, a
return that far outweighs the cost
of spraying.
Beef cattle should be sprayed
often enough to control flies, whether
it requires two or three sprayings
during the season or once a month.
Herds and Flocks
Use of 2, 4-D sprays for weed con
trol in pastures is not dangerous to
grazing animals.
A home-mixed spray of crude
benzene hexachloride powder and
water is more likely to taint eggs
in poultry_houses than a good com
mercial roost paint containing the
effective portion of the same chem
ical. '
Poultry houses with light colored
roofs are cooler in summer than
those with roofs painted black.
To get water to hogs in distant
pasture where there is no water sup
ply, pipes can be laid on top of the
ground. To prevent freezing in
winter, disconnect and drain the
pipes.
Benzene Hexachloride
Will Check Hog Mange
If hogs stand around and mb in
stead of eating, they may have a
touch of mange. Benzene hexa
chloride has been found to be more
effective than lime sulphur. Ben
zene hexachloride should be applied
when temperatures are up around
75 degrees, 'using one pound of 50
per cent powder to four gallons of
water. It is important to see that
j the animal is completely covered.
