NIGHT EDITOR: NAOMI STERN New Candidate SINATOR ROBERT A. TAFT became a canlidate for the Republican presiden- tial nomination Thursday when his Ohio colleague, Senator John W. Bricker, en- dorsed him. Bricker launched the campaign a day be- fare schedule. He jumped the gun on the Ohio Republican Committee who expected to fire the first signal at a noon meeting yes- terday when Taft spoke on the accom- plishments of the Congress session which just adjourned. Said Bricker: "I have urged the state committee to put on a united campaign for Taft for the Ohio delegations to the next convention, which I am sure they are anxious to do." When asked if this was an unqualified endorsement, he said, "Oh sure." Unlike "Silent Tom," Senator Taft speaks his mind. He had much to say about every important piece of legislation before the 80th Congress, and he said it. He allied himself with Senator McKel- lar in the whooping opposition to David Lilienthal's appointment as head of the Atomic Energy Commission. He opposed universal military training and the State Department's "Voice of America" program. Co-author of the "stop Lewis" Taft-Hart- ley Labor Bill, Ohio's new "favorite son" revealed precisely where his loyalties lay with big business. He reiterated this stand in his campaign to cut taxes. Senator Taft personifies GOP. His po- litical and economic theories are 19th cen- tury Republicanism. Like the rest of the Old Guard, he wants to undo the New DeaL Like a good politician, he worries about the "Reds." Like too many people in public office, he never grew up to Hiro- shima. But the country must. -Eunice Mintz -Naomi Stern IT SO HAPPENS .. . 0 Arrival and Departure We're not perennial eavesdroppers, but we're glad we overheard this one. Seems that someone in one of our classes has been following The Daily editorial page rather closely. He remarked that he thought a-lot of "the kids" were rather liberal and that was all right. But this guy Sam Grafton, "he ought to be kicked out of school." * " * * According to a publication we don't read too often, the crack of the week was over- heard (again) in the press gallery during one of the Senate's final session. The de- bate concerned the Kem resolution to in- vestigate the Axtell-Slaughter '46 Missouri primary. Said one spectator: "We're try- ing to decide whether to whitewash Tru- man's district, or Kem-tone it." A publication called "Sales Tips" got a little mixed up recently. In one of its tips, it diseloed that Willowu i Airnort had By SAMUEL GRAFTON HERE IS A certain grouping within American conservatism which is inter- national in its outlook, elevated in its tone, lofty in its declared ideals. It is having trouble with the Republican party, and, in fact, with the Congress generally. It is get- ting so now that decent conservatives find themselves compelled to deplore on Tues4, days, to condemn on Thursdays, and to-re- gret on Saturdays ,and one wonders how long this can go on. Some of the great eastern conservative newspapers, for example, like this Congress well enough when it cornes to the Taft-Hart- ley labor bill, and similar matters. But the effort to keep as much foreign sugar as MATTER OF FACT: Can didacy By JOSEPH AND STEWART ALSOP S EVERYONE KNOWS, Senator Robert A. Taft's Presidential candidacy is of- ficial. On Thursday morning, at Columbus, Ohio, Senator John W. Bricker at last played his grand renunciation scene. He put aside the ambitions he could never, in any case have satisfied, and in a spate of political prose of "the man who" style, will offer his friend Taft as Ohio's favorite son. Senator Taft is to confine his immediate comment to an expression as near silent gratification as his not very expressive fea- tures can achieve. Following this grand opening, Taft re- tires to the refreshing airs of the Thousand Islands. Thence, in September, he will emerge rpstored and invigorated for a great, nationwide delegate hunt, which will not be called a delegate hunt. And in the in- tervals of stalking his big game, he will make speeches on important subjects, although his trip will not be called a pre-convention speaking tour. It will all be strictly in accord with the stern conventions of American presiden- tial politics, which are as ludicrously formal, as comically unreal, as the ritual of the grand stag-hunts at the court of Louis XIV. But it will have one genuine- ly important and significant feature. On the west coast, Taft is due to ex- press himself on foreign policy. What Taft says in California will be binding upon him at the ensuing session of Congress. It will determine whether or not Taft stands with Senator Arthur H, Vandenberg on the Mar- shall pan. And this in turn will determine whether -the Marshall plan is promptly passed, or becomes an issue of domestic pol- itics. Thus it is a simple, practical fact that the position Taft takes will have the deep- est bearing on the national future. As Taft left Washington, he was still keeping his own council. Yet there were surprisingly encouraging signs of the trend of his thought. Of these signs the most important was the establishment of a much closer relationship between Taft and Vandenberg in the closing weeks of the session. In the hurly burly before the adjournment, Vandenberg, the Senate's presiding officer, and Taft, the unofficial floor leader, could not avoid working con- tinuously together. This brought the new development. Intimacy replaced the re- lationship of the past, which was that between two coordinate, acknowledged, but distont and independent powers. The problems of foreign policy also began to be genuinely discussed between them. And as a result, those close to Taft believe there is reason to hope he will fight side by side with Vandenberg when Congress meets again. As of now, in fact, the prediction is that in California Taft will at least not commit himself against the Marshall plan; will come out for European federation, which is a favorite scheme of his; and while making his usual obeisances to economy, will strike a generally non-isolationist note. This, at any rate, is the hope of the en- tourage of rather shrewd, previously incon- spicuous advisers and technicians which Taft has built up for himself. At the mom- ent, these men are decidedly cock-a-hoop. Governor Harold E. Stassen's remarkably ill-tempered statement, that nothing on earth would tempt him to run on the same ticket with Dewey, has dispelled the Taft- ian nightmare of a Dewey-Stassen alliance. While he achieved measurable successes, Dewey also stirred up some hornets' nests on his tour; and nothing gives a poltician more pleasure than a rival poking a hornets' nest. Furthermore, there is increasing sub- stance in the theory that General Douglas MacArthur may return before convention time for an imperial progress in this coun- try, this starting a MacArthur boom which will really be a Taft boom in disguise. This would give real life to the Taft-sponsored stop-Dewey movement. (Copyright, 1947, New York Herald Tribune) IN ITS HANDLING of some . . . aspects of domestic affairs, the 80th (Congress) had been guilty of downright fiasco. It had halted the progress of U.S. atomic research possible out of the country pains them. And Congress' refusal to admit a few hundred thousand of the displaced persons causes the New York Herald Tribune uneasiness. And the House's action in passing a crude "loyalty" bill which would permit a roving commission to list any government employee as a subversive, and to fire him, without the right of appeal, or even the right to know the name of his accuser, stirs the New York Times to protest. Yet, in spite of these blows, the theme song remains: "Love that Congress." There is an interesting problem here, which can be posed thus: How long can one go on, deploring, condemning and re- gretting without, finally, opposing? Don't we ever reach 212 degrees, when what is merely hot water changes, finally, into steam? The intellectual conservative wing to which I refer favors universal miilitary train- ing; this Congress oposes it. They still love that Congress. The same wing favors free world trade; this Congress has tried to sneak in a tariff, or a reasonably accurate facsim- ile of one, whenever it could. Love that Congress. It is interesting to see how resolutely a literate eastern conservatism, molded in the image of Willkie, pursues its love af- fair with a Congress that is very largely molded in the image of Taft. It persists in regarding this Congress as a kind of good creature with a few aberra- tions, though the list of aberrations now grows so long that it has to be braided up at night. It doesn't seem to matter that this Con- gress persistently and gleefully violates the dearest tenets of intellectual conservatism, such as the need for reconstructing the commerce of the world, or the need for dis- playing a decent, practicalminternationalism by admitting a number of refugees, etc. In the fact of such forgivingness and devotion, one can only look on admiringly, murmuring a few words about the mystery of love. They never forgave the preceding New Dealish Congresses in quite the same way. There was little of that large tol- eration, then, of errors and queernesses, though on the international level, cer- tainly, those earlier Congresses were much closer to the spirit of the best of Ameri- can conservatism than is today's conclave. Enlightened American conservatism has perhaps got itself into a little bit of trouble by fighting so hard for a Congress that would be conservative all the way through. It is sad to see it fitting on a hat that is two sizes too small, and a coat that drops to the knees and to hear it protesting firm- ly that these are just the clothes that it ordered and that it wants. (Copyright 1947, New York Post Corporation) "rfEMPER THE WIND," fourth play in the summer series by the Michigan Rep- ertory Players, has the problems of German occupation as its theme. It attempts to ex- plain their complexity. The most striking thing about this play is variety of characters introduced by its writers, Edwar Mabley and Leonard Mins. Just about every section of the current Eur- opean scene is represented, including an em- bittered Czech officer and short-sighted American businessman. The action takes place in a small Bavar- ian city, where German businessman Benck- endorff is attempting to re-open his plant against the opposition of Lt. Col. Richard Woodruff, of the military government. The play is essentially a battle between the two. It is complicated by the presence of a "bus- iness is business" American, Benckendorff's daughter who was once engaged to the col- onel, Benkendorff's unreformed Nazi son-in- law, and the stiffnecked Prussian aunt. As Col. Woodruff, Richard Stewart gave the impression of great personal integrity. William Kinzer, as Hugo Benckendorff, suc- cessfully played a part which called for much urbanity. Theodore Bruce, the American business- man, was played by Ward Alquist, who al- lowed himself to be too severe. Emily James, as the Prussian aunt, needed all the sever- ity she could muster. Daughter "Lissy x Jaeger was caught in a conflict between family and conscience; Dorothy Gutekunst played the part well. The "GI's" in the cast, also a reprenta- tive group, drew mid-act approval for their portrayals of unhappy soldiers "winning the peace." Best performance, however, belonged to Richard Rosenbloom, wheo vigorously played Erich Jaeger, the fanatic Nazi. His scenes were played with an intensity which shocked the onlooker into remembering the devilish with the diehard element in Germany. -Fred Schott "If we could only find a paint that would outlast the stone..

Re- cent increases in the price of meat throw an interesting new light on that claim. They suggest that the packers have more control over prices than they like to admit. Official U.S. figures, as cited by the United Packinghouse Workers (C.I.O.), show that between June of 1946 and June of 1947 the price of steers in Chicago rose 52 per cent. But during the same period, the wholesale price of beef in New York rose 95 per cent. The packers can legitimately claim that all their own costs have risen since last year. But can they claim that costs have gone up as much as 95 per cent? -The Chicago Sun posted on the bulletin Board in Room 4 University Hall.
