The Eternal Father Is more solicitous for the welfare of his rebellions
children than was David for his son Absalom. We should not sin
against love. Is It well with the young man Absalom?—11 Samuel 18:32.
GOP Woos Dixiecrats
CENATOR KARL MUNDT. South Dakota Republican, and
° a handful of his party colleagues are trying to promote
a new political alignment. They want" the GOP and southern
Democrats to join forces for the 1952 presidential campaign.
The main ideas behind this move are these:
1. On most domestic issues and even on some foreign
ones, the Republicans and southern Democrats are kindred
conservative spirits. The evidence of that is the Congres-
sional Record, which reveals that the two groups vote to-
gether frequently in a sort of loose, informal coalition.
2. The promoters of a more formal tie-up believe that
without it the election of a Republican as president will con-
tinue to be extremely difficult, if not impossible. They reason
that a Democratic nominee who starts with the Solid South
in his pocket has an almost decisive advantage these days.
Mundt and his friends have stirred up a complex question.
It’s as important to the Democrats as it is to the Republi-
cans. With their southern strength, the Democrats have
been able in recent elections to retain the presidency, and
in nil but 1946-1948 to keep their hold on congress.
* * *
VET the existence of the deep division between the south-
M erners and the northern or Truman Democrats prevents
the victorious party from carrying out the programs of the
administration. Domestically the president gets very little
of what he wants. In the foreign field, he has had the south-
erners with him on his most vital demands, but more and
more they are veering away from him here, too.
What it amounts to is that the Democratic party func-
tions as a real unit only in campaign periods. In 1948, of
course, even that wasn't true, for the Dixiecrat revolt
brought considerable defection from the regular party ranks.
At all other times, the Democrats break into two distinct
segments. And the administration wing of the party is,
practically speaking, a minority which can get programs
enacted only at the sufferance of its opposition.
It's an accepted fact that the Republicans and the south-
ern Democrats rule congress. They have the votes to block
anything they wish, or to put across any legislation. They
fail only when their coalition weakens.
* * *
THUS for the most part the conservatives are in the saddle,
and yet they do not govern. That is, they do not control
the White House;
A political realignment which would draw battle lines
more clearly might seem highly desirable if it promised to
end this virtual impasse in government. But there are many
angles to the problem—too many for brief discussion here.
More than a few U. S. political experts think it’s really best
that America’s major parties remain as they are—a mixture
of conservatives and liberals on both sides.
Whatever comes of Mundt’s coalition plan, the ordinary
citizen has a right to hope for two things in the campaign
ol 1952. He ought to be given a dear choice between two
reasonable alternatives in policy. And he should be able
to feel that the winning party has the strength in congress
to enact into law the programs it offers the people.
It’s strange how many people with less sense than you
have seem to get along in life much better.

THE STORY: I (Jim MarshaU)
•m trying to establish the Inno-
cence of Roee Bldault on • murder
charge. Rom was murdered after
her acquittal, but my bom wax ac-
cuaed of tampering with the evi-
dence. In Investigating the caae I
was forced to shoot a man In self-
defense and now I face arrest by
Police Inspector Merica.
* * *
XXII
INSPECTOR MERICA'S eyes
1 flashed as he said: "Marshall, If
you’ve got anything on the Fran-
nle Martin case, you'd better give
It to me!"
"Here, here," said Star. "This
Isn't behind the Iron Curtain."
"He can't withhold criminal evi-
dence!" Merica snapped.
"Who said anything about evi-
dence?" I asked Merica. "I may
hnve a lead. That only means spe-
cial knowledge. If I had a chance
to use It I might run down some
evidence."
From Merica's expression, I knew
I had been right. He figured A1
Nanttbarro for _ the Job and he
wanted to nail Nanabarro. “How
much time do you figure you’ll
need?"
"Oh, say two weeks."
"IH say 24 hours, and tf you
don't turn up hot stuff by then, 1 11
throw you so far back into the
pokey you'll have to mail a letter
to the turnkey."
I said: "That doesn’t give me
much time, but It's a deal.”
From the wall came the sputter
of an almost forgotten man: "Do-
do you mean you're going to turn
him loose"
Merica turned: "Do you want
police protection, Mr. Prater?"
Mr. Prater decided that he didn't
and looked sorry he had spoken
at all.
Later In Star's office. I related
everything that had happened since
I had last seen him.
At last he said: "You were a
fool to buy 24 hours of freedom
for a promise you can't fulfill. All
you've got on the Frannle Martin
thing Is a hunch. Merica has one
too. but he can't do anything
about It."
"Maybe I can. What do you think
of Sonya Sareeta now? Or maybe
you don’t think she tried to kill
me!"
Star shrugged. "She missed you,
didn't she?"
It was too much. I got up to
leave. A slinky dame could come
along, double-cross him and try to
kill me and then rate solid In his
book. I was getting off.
"Come back here I" called Star.
I went back.
"Did I ever let you down?”
"Not until now."
"Don't be a fool."
* • *
THIS time Star didn’t try to stop
A me. I went out. retrieved my
car and drove home. I felt the
wear and tear, and I didn’t feel
like batting my brains out all night
for a guy who wanted to be a
sucker. I wished I could gpt my
fingers around Sonya Saneta’s
neck. If I did. I’d keep them there.
Home to me was a two-roam
apartment in a four-atory apart-
ment house in a so-so part of the
east side. There's a garage In back.
I unlocked my door, on the west
side of the corridor. I stepped In
and smelled the perfume. My hand,
AUwHjr started fat tbs light swttco.
reversed Its direction and went Into
my shoulder-holster. By the time
I had the .380 out a bridge lamp
went on.
The lamp was beside my favor-
ite chair. In the chair was Madam
Sonya Sareeta, the lady magician
who sometimes used real bullets.
* * *
CHE was wearing the same eve-
ning gown she had worn into
the La Jolla club, and her Jacket
was hung carelessly over the chair
arm. She smiled wearily.
"I thought you’d never come
come. I’ve waited ages."
There was a handbag on the
chair beside her. I went over to
it, keeping the .380 aimed at her
nyse. I dumped the contents of the
handbag. There was the little au
tomatlc she had carried when I
had first seen her. I dropped it
Into my pocket.
"All right, what’s the pitch? I
thought you had another show to
do at the club."
"I sent Larry Stone my excuses.
I didn’t bother to excuse myself to
Nanabarro. After my shot missed
you he was furious. I told him you
had ducked too quickly but he
didn't believe It. He knew I had
double-crossed him. So I left via
the kitchen entrance."
"You admit trying to kill me?"
"I admit nothing of the sort. My
shot missed you because I meant
It to." She smiled calmly and smug-
ly. "If I had really wanted to kill
you. I shouldn't have missed."
"That's a good one I"
Sonya shrugged. "I was In a trlck-
shootlng act before I worked up the
magic act. I used to shoot clgarets
out of my partner's mouth."
"But you didn't kill me, so now
you’re here to con me. Nanabarro
never gives up. Louise failed; now
he's sent you."
She sighed. "You’ll be very fool-
ish if you dent believe me.”
“Right. You're pretty good. You
took Star; you're the first woman
who ever managed that."
She laughed softly. "You flatter
me!"
"That yarn of Star's about Just
happening In to La Jolla club and
■getting his brainstorm watching you
Is strictly for the Juvenile trade."
She seemed amused. "AU right.
I phoned Star and told him I had
a gag that would free the Bldault
woman. Ouess why I did it.”
"I've already told you. Nana-
barro.”
She laughed almost as tf she
pitied me for being so dumb.
"There’s no point In telling you.
You wouldn’t believe It."
“That's one truthful statement.
Star Williams has a thousand times
the brains I have, but you're one
baby that never had me fooled.
Just hold still a minute."

rpUESDAY'B typical ‘panhandle’
■B rain brought to mind the
early days In Oklahoma, when
such dust storms were not rare
but occurred more often than not
I thought, too, of the women's
clothes of that era and recalled
the pictures of energetic women
with dress skirt turned up about
her waist and anchored In bock
with a huge safety pin. These
skirts were floor-length and full
and somehow had to be got out
of the way to insure freedom for
the muscular activity then re-
quired of women cleaning house.
No remembrance gives me the
creeps like that of house-cleaning.
Btrlps of carpets tacked down
with double pointed tacks. Given
a fair screwdriver, any kid
could take them up to be hung
on the line and beaten to get out
tire dirt. And if you were a fair
sized kid you could beat too.
Pictures came down off the walls
and washing the glass and clean-
ing the Intricately carved frames
was Just the ticket for little girls;
their tiny fingers fitted the cur-
licues better than Mary's, or
Sara's or what ever cleaning
woman we happened to have that
spring. Washing the windows,
wiping down the walls with a
sack tied over the old straw
broom, scrubbing the floors with
an old rag mop dipped In lye
water so hot. that what skin
the lye didn’t take off one's
hands the heat did. or if the
housekeeprr was extra particular
she got down on her hands and
knees and with a brush wont
over every inch of floor with the
lye concoction and followed up
with a clean rag and clear water.
Ye gods and little fishes! No
wonder women looked old at 40
and died young.
Terrific effort Is being expended
to increase the life span of
women. Labor saving devices of
all kinds, functional houses, erad-
ication of bric-a-brac as decora-
tion: everything to make life
easy and pleasant. In fact the
men are working so hard on
these prejects they are dying
earlier and the women are living
longer. So much time has been
released for the average woman
she is warring for the right to
serve on juries. She could use
this time to advantage learning
when she Is well off. Sez I.

Lesson in English
WORDS OFTEN MISUSED:
When using the abbreviations A.
D. and B. C. in dates, it is im-
portant to remember that A. D.
Is always used before the year,
and B. C. after the year. Say,
"A. D. 1951,” and ”162 B. C."
OFTEN MISPRONOUNCED:
Extricable. Accent is on the first
syllable, not the second.
OFTEN MISSPELLED: The
plural of "goose” (the fowl) Is
“geese.” The plural of “goose"
(the tailor's smoothing iron) is
“gooses.’
SYNONYMS: Superiority, ex-
cellence. pre-eminence, worth,
value, greatness.
WORD STUDY: "Use a word
three times and it Is yours.” Let
us increase our vocabulary by
mastering one word each day. To-
day's word: ANOMALY; devia-
tion from the common rule; Ir-
regularity. “During every seem-
ingly dull day, some anomaly
drops in to keep one’s interest
•live.”
WASHINGTON. April 25—(NEA
—The position of India today
Is sometimes likened to that of
China In 1945. It can be saved
from communism If the right things
are done. It can be lost to com-
munism If the wrong things are
done.
It Is In this latter category that
the United States now has a chance
to commit a major blunder In its
handling of famine relief. What
started out to be a simple act of
charity has now become Involved
In the larger debate on the whole
question of Truman administration
policy towards communism.
Though General Douglas Mac-
Artliur’s firing as U. S. commander
in the far east had nothing directly
to do with India, the famine relief
problem has become a part of the
debate which the MacArthur firing
started. U. S. politics therefore has
a hand in It from here on.
The common belief Is that the
India famine relief bill, Introduced
by Representative Thomas Morgan
of Pennsylvania, has been blocked
by the house rules committee. Ac-
tually. at this writing, the house
rules committee has never had a
meeting on the bill.
The story behind that Is that
after the house foreign affairs
committee had approved the bill,
the Democrats on the rules com-
mittee conducted an informal poll
of their members. It was found
that not enough Democratic votes
could be mustered to clear the bill
for house action. So Chairman
Adolph Sabath simply refrained
from calling a rules committee
meeting to discuss the measure.
/"OBJECTIONS which congressmen
” false against the Indian famine
relief bill are many and varied.
Some of the objections have little
or nothing to do with India direct-
ly. It Is the entire Truman foreign
policy that Republicans and some
Democrats are attacking.
One argument against Indian
famine relief which has not come
out In the open, but which con-
gressmen talk about privately. Is
that this is only a starter for a
much larger global relief program.
If the Indian relief bill Is ap-
proved. It Is feared that another
big relief bill for Arab refugees In
Palestine will be presented.
Congressmen ask: "Where Is this
going to stop?" The Marshall plan
and military assistance requests for
next year have not yet been sent
to congress. If these separate-
country relief measures are piled on
them, the total will be huge
the chances f6r economizing a
In addition to which, many
gressmen are balking at the t
of the Truman administration';
dian relief bill. What India t
for, last December, was 2,0C
tons of grain "qfa special and
terms.” If the deal had beer
ranged on that basis, it wou
have had to go through con
and might all be settled now.
TNSTEAD of that, the admlni
•3'tlon sent up a bill asking
8140 million as a grant. This v
give India 750 million bushel
grain over the next two yean
Iree. To make this palatabl
congress, the old Marshall
restrictions were tacked on.
These would provide that
grain be sold by the Indian gov
ment In Its normal trade chan
The rupees received from this
would be put In a counterpart 1
And this would be used to I
Irrigation projects, or other di
opments to Increase Indian
production. This is said to be :
gllng over distress—imposing
dltlons which would make the
dlans resent the aid given.
Aside from tnese points, poll
opposition to the Indian fa:
relief bill seems to have no c
punctlons about hard bargal
over misery. Individual congi
men think the aid should be
nlshed only on a barter deal,
