Both senators were de- feated in this year’s primaries. New Hampshire's Tobey now ap- pears to be next on the list. And again, whether you agree with To- bey or not, his enemies also have to admit that he has courage. North C Defeated Pauley He was, for instance, the one Re- publican who led the fight against that § | countries who are Iung up. i big oilman Ed Pauley, to be under- | secretary of the Navy at a time, when Truman was at the peak of | his popularity. Most Republlcnnsi did not relish bucking the Pres- ient then, but Tobey forced Pauley to withdraw his name for the Navy post. And Pauley promptly vowcdi to “get” the man who defeated him, —at the next election. i Tobey also stood up against one of the most powerful industrial concerns in his home state, Tex- tron, which owns some 20 textile mills in New England. Staging one of its biggest operations iny Tobey's biggest voting area, Man- chester, Textron had powerful iriends, and the probe was not pop- ‘ulaxx As a result of his courageous fight, however, it was discovered that the family of Textron’s pres- ident, Royal Little, had made heavy personal profits that should have gone to the stockholders. A profit of $700,000 for the Little family was made on buying and selling the Newmarket mill at Lowell, Mass., with another large personal profit on the Suncook mill in New Hamp- shire. These were profits that should have gone into dividends, not to the Little family. The evidence was so glaring that, before a court could rule, Little stepped in and offered to refund stockholders $600,- 000. Result: The stockholders won a bonanza, and Tobey won a potent enemy. confirmation of Truman’s close pa].i Tobey’s Last Battle Charles Tobey, now 70 years old, has been campaigning with the vigor of a man aged 50. But he has been fighting almost single- ihanded, while his opponent, a young former secretary of Sen Styles Bridges, appears to be well- heeled with campaign funds. Money and influence being what lit is in politics today, Tobey will | protably lose. But though power- ful New Hampshire publishers are against Tobey, this columnist does not propose to let him finish his fight without paying tribute to a fgrand old man who has had the courage of his convictions; and to express the opinion that if sen- ators who have had the courage to! step on important people’s toes continue to be defeated, we may have a Congress of men who spend their time bowing from the waist 1 in the presence of big campaign! contributors. The unfortunate warning younger senators is that if want to be re-elected in this day and age, you should abandon hav- {ing the courage of your convictions. tol !

Yes, and as promptly as possible. It is also customary to send a gift to the baby, depending, of course, upon your wishes in the matter. Q.
