Hurt by Presidential Aims
IIAROLD E. STASSEN’S story is one of the saddest case I
* histories on the recent American political scene. It is |
a supreme example of what can happen to a man when he
is bitten by presidential ambitions.
At 31, Stassen was an aggressive governor of Minnesota
with a bright future. In his mid-forties he is a forlorn
figure with no political prospects at all. And that because he
allowed his higher yearnings to consume him.
In the light of his record at Minnesota, his service in
the navy, and his performance as a delegate at the united
nations charter conference in San Francisco, Stassen de-
served a chance at the presidency.
Friends built him up for that opportunity by proposing
him in 1944 while he was still in the Pacific. Nobody took
his candidacy too seriously that time nor was it intended
they should.
Four years later Stassen made his real bid. He had begun
by avowing his candidacy two years before nominating time.
He pounded back and forth across the country in vigorous
pursuit of convention support.
Hia early fortune was not bad. He won primaries in
Wisconsin and Nebraska, and then captured Pennsylvania on
a write-in. Thereafter, however, he seemed to overreach
himself. He claimed 14 or 15 delegates in contest against
Senator Taft in his native Ohio but won only nine Next
came his Oregon debacle.
QOVERNOR DEWEY of New York lacerated Stassen in
a radio debate over a bill designed to control Com-
munists in America. Dewey’s Oregon stumping outpaced
Stassen s. Dewey won that primary and the 1948 boom for
Stassen ended forthwith.
Ohio was actually the start of his downfall but it was that
unsuccessful radio debate in Oregon which hurt him in
public eyes. For there it was revealed that Stassen did not
really understand the subject he was discussing. He appeared
concerned only with the impact he was making on the voters.
His entire 1952 campaign has been characterized by this
same-featHrei-Stassen has endeavored to be all things to all
men- «e has promised a great deal. He has in one breath
sounded like a stalking horse for General Eisenhower and
in the next sounded like his own man. He has sought to
make himself a rallying point for discontent of all sorts
however vague and ill-defined. ’
JN this latter respect he is the Henry Wallace of 1952. The
effort was doomed from the start. With the possible
exception of Illinois, where as a candidate on the ballot he
managed to out-pool by 10,000 votes the write-in gained
Mtion"”JSie»teMen h” made * diSma‘ Sh0fcin* in the
Any man capable of facing the realities would have pulled
out weeks ago. Stassen stands repudiated by the voters. His
convention strength will be but microscopic.
. If he imagines he ia somehow earning a cabinet post
in some other Republican’s administration, he is probably
grossly mmtaken. His opponents have lost respect for hiim
Politically Stassen is a punch-drunk fighter with a cauli-

THE STORY: Jack Duggan, pH
vate detective, Is poisoned after
he had masqueraded as Basil Wlll-
ln*. On the same nlfht sfed and
blind Miss Kstherine Shaw, who
apparently was to meet Durcsn at
the home of Dr. Zimmer, a psy-
chiatrist, also dies. Brinsley, ne-
phew of Miss Shaw, and Char,
lotte Dean, her secretary, cannot
shed light on the woman’s death
or her connection with Durran.
However, Perdita Lawrence faints
while Basil is discussing the
with her father, Stephen Law-
rence. Later Basil and some others
to to Bert Canning's home. Bert
and his wife Isolds were also at
Zimmer’s. After talking to HpHI.
Isolds, Bert’s wife, leaves the room
Basil hears a thud, as if something
had fallen to the floor.
* * *
XV
ftiHE hushed thud of something
filing softly drew Basil to-
ward an opening that led into a
corridor. Here at last were old-
fashioned doors — three of them
aU standing ajar. But only one
was edged with light.
The light came from a panel of
frosted glass in the wall. The vast,'
peach-colored bed had a head-
board of quilted satin. Sprawling
crosswise, as If she had been thrown
there, lay Isolda, face down. One
arm hung over the edge, fingers
nearly touching the floor.
Basil was hurrying toward her
when he saw a box beside her. The
box was empty, its lid on the floor,
and there was something else on
the floor, just beyond Isolda’s
fingertips, as if she had been hold-
ing It when she collapsed.
He had read of such things in
books of criminology. In the books
they were usually described as
crude. This one had been careful-
ly, lovingly made. It was the size of
a small doll, but it was the Image
of a man. neatly dressed in a mini-
ature suit of brown tweed, a dark
red tie and shoes that were a toler-
able imitation of a man’s shoes
though made of felt Instead of
leather. There was even hair on the
head—dark, human hair.
Basil touched the grayish-white
face and found what he expected
—the greasy surface of wax. The
eyes were a doll’s eyes, brown-and-
white glass, fixed and vacant. But
the face itself was modeled and
painted so cleverly that there could
be no doubt whom it was intended
to represent—Hubert Canning.
A short hatpin, its head a single
black pearl, had been thrust into
the left breast, where the heart
would be in a living body. Thrust
so deeply that the end protruded
beyond the back ef the doll. *'
He was by the bed feeling Iiol-
da’s slow, steady pulse when Can-
ning’s wavering step came to ihc
threshold.
"Passed out?"
Basil nodded. "She’ll be all right
in the morning.’’
“Too bqd you were let in for this
tonight." Canning pronounced each
syllable slowly.
’On the contrary. It’s been an
interesting evening."
Canning was holding the door to
steady himself. "What do you
mean?"
"A few days ago Brinsley Sha*
tried to frighten me. Tonight your
wife tried to—to make friends with
me. And you tried to bribe me. The
queer part of it la that I don’t
know why. But I’m going to find
out." ,
' \y,
rTHE big city room of the Neto
A- York Star was more like a fac-
tory loft than an office.
Basil came to a section where
some desks were vacant. A loose-
jointed, likable young man with
boyishly untidy hair stumbled to
his feet.
"Dr. Willing? I’m Prank Lloyd.”
He pulled a swivel chair away from
one of the vacant desks. "Do sit
down.”
Basil glanced at the soft lead
pencil flung down on a sheet of
coarse copypaper. “Am I interrupt-
ing?” y
No. Just notes I was making
for my own use. I don’t work much
in tlie office. I'/h a leg-man or
rather, carman. Haven't you seen
my little buggy labeled ’Star Radio
Car’? Two-way radio just like a
cops car. Stephen Lawrence says
you want to see me about Perdita.”
"It was Mr. Lawrence’s idea that
I see you," answered Basil. "Dr.
Zimmer is consulting me about her
case.”
“Her case!” Lloyd echoed the
words sotirly. "Perdita Is as healthy
as you or I. She’s simply worried
about her lather. He’s dying by
inches and she knows it. No won-
der she lives in a state of anxiety.
But (her father was a fool to send
her to Zimmer. He’s cost her aU
of the few thousands she inherited
from her mother.”
"I haven't examined her yet. But
I know the symptoms of shock or
strain can be confused with symp-
toms of neuroses. Is she laboring
under any shock or strain now?
Aside from her father’s illness?”
Lloyd frowned. "I have a feeling
there is something — but I don’t
know what it is.”
"Are you engaged to her?”
* * *
T LOYD’S mouth twisted in a tor-
u mented smile. “I’m not in any
position to marry. I live in one
room and take my meals at cafe-
terias.” His eyes narrowed. “I’ve
never even told her that I love her.
“Why not?”
"It wouldn’t be fair to her. We
can’t marry for years. Suppose
some other man comes along who
can marry her now? It would be
monstrous If I’d Involved her emo-
tions so that she didn’t feel free.”
"If you don't love her, you’re en-
tirely right. But if you do love her,
you’re making a mistake. And it
she loves you already, it is a cruel
mistake."
Lloyd’s fair skin flushed easily.
‘What business is it of yours?”
"My business at the moment is
curing PAdita Lawrence if she
needs curing.”
Lloyd’s anger died as suddenly as
it had flared, but his face was still
flushed. "I’m sure her father knows
1 love her. She must know it, too.
Why put it into words when words
are all I can give her?"
Basil sighed. "Words are consol-
ing. Perdita may be in trouble.”

»FHE need for new payrolls In
•» El Reno ia by no means a
recently discovered item, but we
somehow have not been able to
8*t the operation going. The
stumbling block has been money.
Failure to subscribe to the* cur-
rently proposed plan will send it
skidding to the bone pile of for-
lorn hopes where He the bones of
previous good ideas.
This is not a promotion scheme
like the pottery plant, or the
packing plant in which civic-
minded citizens put their money
In hopes of getting rich. Nobody
is promising easy money as a re-
sult of this plan. If you decide
to part with a hundred or so
bucks of your hard earned money
or a hundred thousand gained by
Interest on Investments you will
not ewn a Share of stock In any
industry induced to come to E!1
Reno by "operations industry”.
You will, however, gain Im-
measurably by helping to make
the "operations” possible. Any
industry persuaded to settle in
El Reno will bring additional bus-
iness to everyone now engaged in
business here. This is plant food.
Like adding a little commercial
growth-stimulant to the water for
your flowers. It isn’t going to cre-
ate a new plant but it will surely
put the blossoms on the one you
have.
I do not know what it takes to
get new industries to decide on
locations, but it cannot be too
complicated.
I saw this happen:
A few years ago I played much
golf located about two good woods,
a pitch and a putt from the state
capitol. Some half dozen or so
fellows greatly Interested in the
growth of Oklahoma City bought
1 the golf course for a site for new
Industries. Now it is covered with
new industries and the individual
business in which each of those
fellows is engaged is prospering
and further than that, they have
their money back and have put it
in another site for more indus-
tries.
Not the least of advantages to
El Reno to be considered in this
"operations industries” is keep-
ing our young people here. Our
children grow, up and go else-
where to enter business or get
employment in an industry which
offers a chance for promotion.
Such opportunities are scarce in
El Reno and unless we do some-
thing about it now, the situation
will grow worse as time marches
on.

Eisenhower Neckties at Public
Throat Cut Taft's Circulation
WASHINGTON, May 19-(NEA)
" —A new system of presidential
poll-taking has now been perfected.
It’s known as the necktie poll. The
name comes from sales returns on
the various political neckties now
being hawked around the country.
Some are decorated with coonskin
caps, others with “I Like Ike,” still
others with “Mr. Republican” Taft.
Up till mid-April, sales of the
Kefauver tie led the Elsenhower
and Taft tie sales by an overall
lead of 30 percent.
In the last few weeks, however,
the sales charts have changed.
I Saies of the Eisenhower tie have
Jumped to 20 percent over the Taft
and Kefauver numbers. Even in the
South, the Elsenhower tie is the
sales leader by as much as 10 per
cent.
The sales manager of the com-
pany that makes these ties in New
York says that they are the best-
selling item they have. He says he
supposes that the big jump in
Elsenhower tie sales can be tied
right m with the announcement of
Ike’s resignation.
We’re late as it is, and as
always, if you start late you must
put on extra speed to get where
you are going on time. This is
it, and the time is now.

Detective Too Glib,
Suspect Explains
COLUMBIA, S. C., May 18—(U.R)
—A city detective, questioning a
suspect, exhaustedly gave way to
another detective to continue the
questioning. The suspect promptly
admitted the offense.
“Why didn’t you confess to the
other man," the prisoner was asked.
“You mean that talking detec-
tive?" said the suspect. "Captain,
he was talking so fast I didn’t want
to Interrupt him."

tion, at a National Press Club
luncheon.
His reply: »K j had ^ pres,_

have respected my oath of office
which was to defend the Constitu-

WHAT it takes to be a presiden-
TT tiaI candidate’s wife was re-
vealed in startling fashion by red-
headed Nancy Kefauver in a short
piece which she wrote for "The Ke-
fauver Beacon,” her husband's cam-
paign newspaper. Here'S an excerpt:
“In the next few months m be
in a great many parts of the United.
States with Estes____rm afraid my
wardrobe la not equipped for me
to be ’the best dressed woman’ in
all the various climes In which in
find myself, but I’m sure I’ll be
comfortable if not the picture of
fashion.
"This wardrobe problem seems to
be of great interest to the general
public and many of the intervlewi
I’ve had stresg my clothes.
“All this sounds a little silly and
very complicated. ActuaUy I’m glad
to pay attention to the small details
if they help In the over-all picture.
This is a big rfdventure in the lives
of the Kefauvers and my role as I
see it is to help in any way I can.’'

Republican National Committee
News Letter reports this explana-
tion given by a retired bureaucrat
on how he escaped Investigation for
accepting costly gifts:
“When I received any gift.” he
said, “I sat down and wrote a letter
to the sender, refusing the gift.
Then I tore up the original and
filed the carbon copy.”

Something slightly different In
the way of political campaign prop-
aganda was left by the mailman on
the desks of Washington corre-
spondents last week. It was a phon-
ograph record from somebody
named Dan Allender of Dalhart
Tex. Accompanying literature said
he was a candidate for president
on the Democratic ticket, though
nobody in ^Washington had heard
of him before.
The record tamed oat to be
couple of corny renditions—“Wi
Need a Real Democrat Up in Wash
ington” and “Dan’s the Man” -
(“He has a plan, a very great plan
he’ll referee, for liberty.’’)
Then, down at the bottom of hli
enclosed campaign poster, the catct
showed up. Candidate Allender wwi
financing his campaign by the salt
of hats and ties, and he enclosed
order blanks.
