Sometime In the Dim, Distant Future
OF THIS AND THAT
It so desire to secure peace . . . it must be
known that we are at all times ready for war.

• The Smell of War
While the nation's attention was di-
verted by a political convention, thing#
were happening in Berlin that brings the
smell of war pungently to the nostrils of
all mankind.
It looks like the long-awaited showdown
for the control of Berlin. The crisis was
produced by the Western allies’ circula-
tion of a new currency in their respective
zones, and an avowed intention to circu-
late a separate currency in the western
zone of Berlin proper.
The Russians announced their own cur-
rency reform in Berlin, promptly de-
nounced by the Western Powers as a vio-
lation of the four-power agreement.
They declared the Russian currency null
and void.
Most significant was Russia’s call of a
surprise conference of her Eastern Eu-
ropean allies in Warsaw, supposedly for
the purpose of battling against the West-
ern Powers’ plan to set up a separate
West German state. *
The Russian delegate to the four-power
currency conference Tuesday was more
than ordinarily insulting.
He bluntly told the Western Powers
that they are remaining in Berlin "con-
trary to all common sense and political
and economic feasibility." By instituting
the new currency, he said, the Western-
ers had forfeited their right to stay in
Berlin.
“We warn you," he said, “and the Ger-
man population of Berlin that we will
carry out economic and administrative
sanctions to enforce the circulation of a
single currency in Berlin—the currency
of the Soviet occupation zone."
Soviet attempts to scare the Western
Powers out of Berlin have come to
naught, but they have made life miserable
for the British, French and Americans.
Some of these days the Russkies may push
matters so far that there can be no turn-
ing back.
To pull out under threat would be fa-
tal. We have to hang on or kiss all chance
for eventual peace goodby.
have changed. A decade or two ago peo-
ple stuck like leeches to the loudspeaker
on such occasions. It was a novelty then.
We sometimes wonder how many people
actually tune in and listen through a poli-
tical speech to the bitter end. It has to
be s good speaker, and the listener has
to be particularly interested in him or
his subject, to earn close attention for
more than three or four minutes.
It seems to us the press associations did
s bang-up job with the Republican con-
vention Newspapers got far more really
worthwhile copy than they could handle,
due to the limitations of space. Much of
it, it seemed to us, was quality stuff. You
have to understand the difficulties under
which such copy is produced to sppreciste
the fine work the men and women of the
press turned out.
The best stories, of course, were not
available. The really important work
went on in committee rooms, candidate
headquarters, or smoke-filled hotel rooms.
The real work of the convention was done
in those places, not on the convention
floor. That is necessarily true of all po-
litical conventions.

Convention Stuff
The Wind Blew
One of our cherished, generally-held
theories about the weather has, unfortu-
nately, gone with the wind. It is the old
belief that a strong wind from the south
for two or three days will bring rain to
these latitudes.
Well, as of this writing, the drouth re-
mains unbroken. The wind started blow-
ing 28 to 30 m.p.h. last Sunday, and of-
ficial weather prognosticators downstate TA SHIT NO TO NT GATT TNA
sav it will continue to blow until Friday, W AOInbIUN UALLINU
when there will be a let-up. They say a
low-pressure area in the Middle West
caused it all. This area was moving to
the northeast Wednesday, consequently
the wind velocity over Texas was expected
to taper off and be back to a normal 10-
12 m.p.h. by Friday.
Meantime, as of yesterday, a cold front
was moving down from the Rockies, but
was not expected to get any farther than
the Panhandle. y
Convention is Best-Covered
TOUGHEST JOB
To obtain a visa for Turkey or
even Costa Rica, you must submit
to being shot full of 11 kinds of
serum every day for about seven
weeks
In this day of fluroscopes, micro-
scopes, telescopes and other kinds
of scopes, the doctors may not be
able to tell a man how long he will
live, but they certainly can tell
him if his chances don't look very
good for more than twelve months.
I mean, if he has a bump the size
of a grapefruit on the side of his
head, or if he lacks half a dozen
or so vertebrae, it is not a point in
his favor.
If a man wants to get a job as
private, rear rank. In the army,
and the doctor, find so much as a
blister on the left big toe, the medi-
co, are likely to throw him out.
The toughest and most important
job in the world is that of Presi-
dent of the United States. It carries
enough pressure, worry, trouble
and responsibility to break the
back of a George Washington or a
Golden Gate bridge.

TAKE PHYSICAL 1
What I'm getting at ia this: why
isn't there a law requiring all can-
didates to undergo a “physical,”
and the results made public to the
voters? Little if anything was
known of the fitness of the rival
candidates when the Republican
convention started this week. Had
the years in Albany and the milk-
ing of cows on his farm exhausted
Dewey? Did Stassen still get the
miseries from breathing too much
sea sir during his hitch in the
nsvy? What was Taft's blood pres-
sure and blood count? Had Brick-
er or Warren had a lung x-ray
lately? And what was the all-round
condition of Vandenberg?
And how about the men shooting
for the job of vice president?®
You gotta have a doctor's cer-
tificate to get married in most
states, but a man with rickets,
beri-beri, and galloping chicken
pox can run for president and be
elected-provided he can conceal
it from the voters long enough.
With four years to go the voters
have the right not only to vote
for a good man, but also to vote
for a man the doctors say has s
pretty good chance to stick it out.
What I have said about the
publicans goes for the Democrats,
too.

CAPITAL COLUMN
Victory Hopes are High
BY PETER EDSON
PHILADELPHIA—(NEA) — When a-publi-
can National Committee Chairman Brazilla
Carroll Reece declared that the GOP would
not pick it, presidential candidate in a •moke-
filled room" one wag wisecracked, “Ince
when have the Republicans stopped smoking?”
Reece’s Intent was to emphasize that the
GOP convention this year would be s free end
open effeir. with the delegates doing sll the
deciding and the bosses having nothing to do
with picking the name of a candidate they
liked and ramming it down the state delega-
tions' throats.
The conclusion to be drawn from this is thst
the best man is going to win, but that doesn't
always happen Conventions have failed to pick
the best man available in the psst. snd could
do it again. Daniel Webster, for instance, was
twice denied the Whig Party nomination for the
presidency.
Fifty Washington politics! Writers polled re-
cently by NewsWeek magazine voted unani-
mously thst the GOP would win in 1948.
Twenty-eight of these same correspondents
who voted that the Democrats didn't have a
chance thia year also voted that the men most
likely to win the nomination was Sen. Arthur
H Vandenberg of Michigan. Polls of newspaper
editors snd nearly all the national public opin-
ion poll, have likewise picked Vandenberg a,
the boat man tor the job
VANDENBERG It “BEST MAN"
On the eve of the convention opening, bow-
ever, Senator Vandenberg was apparently try-
ing to count himself out on the grounds that ho
haa alienated too much Republican congression-
al support by his stands ia favor of Marshall
Plan snd reciprocal trade agreements. Few
political observers have taken seriously Van-
denberg’s previous efforts to deny himself the
nomination. But if he does fail to win the
Domination or if he refuses a dreft by the
convention, many people will feel that the man
best qualified won’t be getting the job.
It le in escramble among Vandenberg and
the * — men"—Dewey, Stassen end
Taft—that the Philadelphia convention may
deadlock The second-best men are plenty good
enough Any pair of them would make a strong
ticket.
But if none of the top four can get a clear
majority end none yields his delegates to an-
other, the Republican convention can easily
make a mistake that will lead to the party's
undoing.
It is an old political rule of thumb that when-
ever a party gets into a convention jam, it
Inees the election The risk of a deadlock ia
something the Republicans can’t afford. So
that's where the prospect of the party bosses
getting together comes in—whether the room is
smoke-filled er smokeless. And if the party
bosses, to effect a compromise, have to pick
their candidates from the third level of talent,
they might easily name a ticket so bad it
could lead to the party defeat In November.
CANDIDATES BLOW HOT AND COLD
Convention public opinion has been exceed*
ingly jumpy. Every leading candidate’s pros-
pect, have been up and down and all over the
political fever charta. Dewey was a low man
until the primaries began His stock picked up
after New Hampshire, went down after Wis-
consin and Nebraska, up again to a new high
after Oregon voted Stassen standing rose grad-
ually to a high point after his Wisconsin and
Nebraska victories, went down after the Ohio
bout with Taft and the Oregon debate with
Dewey.
Taft was running third or fourth in most
polls. There have been some poll indications
that Truman could beat Taft in an election.-
Tafta strength, however, is with the politicians
and the bosses. If they had their way, Taft
would probably win. Taft's position as a candi-
date is considered precarious Widespread labor
disturbances during late summer or early fall
are possible in coal, steel, rail and shipping
Industries Aa co-author of the Taft-Hartley
labor relations act, Taft's chances might not
be so good under such circumstances.
The Republican convention can also make
serious tactical blunder, in the (election of a
vice president. If Dewey, Stassen Taft or War-
ren would consent to take second place on the
ticket with any of the other three, there would
be little opposition.
If the political bosses or convention fates put
the finger of destiny on some third or fourth
rater however, it could do the party's chances
no good Victory in the election this year goes
to the party that makes the fewest mistakes.
In the race to make the most mistakes, the
Democrat, are at this writing far in the lead.
OLD BANS
In England. It I, still illegal to make a mince
pie, have a Christmas dinner of more thin three
courses, smoke a cigaret in the streets, or play
billiards on Sunday. A Law Society confer-
ence unearthed these obsolete laws.
Interference Theory
According to • theory of two English seien-
. tists, magnetic storms that interfere with tele-
graph and cable service are due to ring of
electrical current that surrounds the earth like
like Saturn , ring,.

than 2000 are given over to men
and women writing and broadcast-
ing They stretch out in serried
ranks on either side of the plat-
form and the runway that gives
onto It.
MILLIONS OF WORDS
Back of the platform in glass-
enclosed cages are the broadcast-
ing booths of all the major net-
works Here broadcasters and
technicians, sweating like galley
slaves, pour millions of words into
the ether.
Never at an convention before
have there been so many corre-
spondents of foreign newspapers
and press associations. By cable
and wireless telephone more mil-
lions of words are going out to
every corner of the globe
Back of the men and women
Who put the words down on paper
or into a microphone Is an army
of technicians. Twenty-four hours
s day they work sending out, the
infinite variety of electrical im-
pulses that spell out what is hap-
pening. or what someone thinks is
happening in this assembly.
In a small grass plot just outside
the press entrance to convention
hall is a helicopter belonging to
one of the newsreel companies It
rushes newsreel prints and tele-
vision recordings to the airport
where they are flown by chartered
plane to the Middle West and the
West Coast

speech, wilting in the glare of light

help but wonder if we haven't

suspicion that no one hss snything
much to say.
The instruments of the new tech-
nology sre so demanding, so in-
sistent, thst they get in the way
of the kind of expression that
seems to carry weight and con-
viction. That is true particularly
of television in its present stage
of development.
I watched Gov. James Duff of
Pennsylvania try to conduct s cau-
cus of his delegation in a smallish
hotel room, which was packed
with delegates and spectators. At
the back of the room s television
and newsreel operation was going
on. There were shouts back and
forth from operators in front near
the rostrum to operators in back
to turn on lights, turn off lights,
add new lights.
Now it would be hard to imag-
ine a man more forthright, sim-
ple and direct than Governor Duff.
But this intense, hothouse atmos-
phere seemed to shrink him, to
make him self-conscious end ill at
ease It reduced the whole thing to
a rather poorly contrived per-
formance that no really alert tele-
vision producer would dream of
putting on his network
WHAT TO SAY?
When the first telegraphic cable
was opened between London end
India toward the end of the last
century, the newspapers made a
great fuss about it They invited
comment from famous persons,
among them the philosopher-critic,
John Ruskin. He said:
“The cable is an interesting de-
vice But what do you have to say
to India?"
That question is pertinent here
and now. The world is waiting to-
day to learn what this assembly
does. People everywhere want to
know how well representative gov-
ernment works in these United
States.
They will get cold comfort from
the speeches that are being
made. Gov. Dwight Green's
keynote address, with its evasions,
its platitudes, its remarkable con-
traditions from one sentence to an-
other, its wistful backward glanc-
es. leaves a great vacuum that no
amount of amplification and mag-
nification can possibly fill.
A long time ago another as-
sembly met here in Philadelphia.
The men who met in that constitu-
tional assembly lacked radio,
television, even the telegraph. Yet
their words echoed around the
globe Perhaps there is a moral in
this for us today, with out vast
and costly apparatus that trans-
mits the slightest whisper of
thought.

hand is the result of our discussion.
You can see that the declarer has
to lose two diamonds and the ace
of hearts quickly. He cannot af-
ford to lose any spades. Every-
body agreed that he should play
the ace of spade, at once. Now
should he play the jack of spades
from dummy, hoping to find the
ten and one on the left?
Emrich, who played this hand,
advanced the theory that the best
percentage play ia to bang down
the ace and king of spades. This
protect, the declarer ageinst a
apade loser if the queen and one
. are doubleton on the left or the
right. The only time he will win
by leading the Jack on the second
round of spades in when the ten
and one are on the left.
