DON’T LET US FORGET EVERYBODY HAS RIGHT TO VOTE AS HE PLEASES It is not only hard but seemingly impossible also for some people, strong supporters of Stevenson or Eisenhow- er, to appreciate the fact that every man’s vote belongs to him, That unsound attitude was manifested glaringly by the tenor of a letter published in'The Citizen a few days ago. Reading that letter, one gained the impression it was wrong to vote other than the way the writer was going to vote. But that is not The Citizen’s view. The Citizen be- lieves John Jones has just as much right to vote for Stev- enson as Bill Brown has to vote for Eisenhower. It is the privilege of every man and every woman to vote as he or she pleases, To question that privilege is equivalent to .questioning the basic structure of our democracy, Some writers and speakers declare this is the bitter- est presidential campaign in our country’s history. Cam- paigning was just as bitter on a good many occasions, and far more bitter in 1928 and when Lincoln ran for re- election. But this isthe queerest campaign that the coun- ty. has ever had, ; ~ An outsider, unfamitiar with the situation, would think that Truman “was running for ‘re-election, because the G.O.P. attack is centered on him. That is particularly true of Eisenhower. In speech after speech, he, hammers away at Truman and only occasionally takes a fling at Stevenson. But the G.O.P. artillery, since Wednesday, has been shifted from Truman and trained on Stevenson, because he praised Truman, in a Missouri speech, and said he is a man of “independence,” G.O.P. speakers, particularly one over the radio, de- clare that Stevenson’s “identifying” himself with Tru- man will “hurt” him more than anything else. They try to make us believe that Truman is generally hated, and overlook what one writer called an “astonishing fac the hundreds of thousands who turned out to hear and applaud Truman on his whistle-stop campaign. What incident, more than anything else, will “hurt” Eisenhower? A republican writer, who is making a house- to-house canvass in given areas in “pivotal” states, says that Eisenhower's “identifying” himself with Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin and Senator William Jenner of Indiana will “hurt” him far more than anything else. On that point, he says he has found voters to reason thus: General George Marshall “made” Eisenhower; it was through Marshall's insistent recommendations that Eisenhower was stepped-up in his command, and, even of greater importance, they had been friends from early manhood, Jenner and McCarthy have tried to besmirch Mar- shall, who is among our country’s greatest patriots, by ac- cusing him of “fronting for traitors.” And yet, Eisenhow- "er has rubbed elbows with McCarthy and Jenner on the same platforms, has advocated their re-election, though he asserted he did not “approve their methods” in trying to rid the country of communism. : The writer said he had found many voters who had turned from Eisenhower to Stevenson because of that episode. In one apartment building he found 23 voters, who had supported Dewey in 1948, who said they. would r Stevenson because of Eisenhower's stand on the McCarthy-Jenner question, L vote If you know all the answers to the problems of your friends, keep them to yourself.

Gingras Cause Of Air Accident Told TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. —A mid-air collision of a (ACT OF PASSION by Georges;two women, his mother and his} B29 and a jet fighter presumably Simenon psychological murder novel translated from the French by Louis Vearese, published by Prentice Hall Publishning Co., 230 pp.) Eroticism and murder have for a long time been running neck to neck in the novels of the French author, Georges Simenon. In this book, eroticism wins by a hun- dred yards, A murder has occured before the novel begins, and the reader knows unquestionably the identity of the killer. A letter written by the murderer to the judge responsible for his be- ing on trial, is the fiction technique used to tell the story. First the murderer briefly describes his rea- sons for believing the recipient of the letter to be a kindred soul. He then cuts back to his own child- hood and adolescence, and to his parents’ influence on his early life. He was raised in a French pro- vineial town. His father was a great lusty French farmer who drank a lot. The fellow was al- ways finding it necessary to sell a piece of his land to pay some wo- man for the privilege of being the father of her illegitimate child. His mother was a gentle lady who never seemingly questioned her husband's or her son’s right to do as they pleased and who spent her life loving and serving taem. At the age of 25 the teller of the story received his medical degree, and became a country doctor. After about ten years his first wife died, and he moved into another practise in a small provincial city. Following these preliminaries, the murderer proceeds with a bed by bed description of all the erotic incidents of his life. Included in the entourage of his bedfellows are two wives, a mistress, several servant girlz and a dozen or so leading ladies for one or two night stands......or would. a horizontal noun be more appropriate here? But behind these surface events broods the reality of his slavery to second wife, and the doctor finally attempts to break the fetters. George Simenon is a great story teller. In this book he sometimes allows his artistry to be inter- mittently submerged in an over- emphasis on one very powerful phase of a man’s emotional life. But the story is still one which keeps the reader with the book open until the last sentence of the last paragraph, (THE COMPLETE BOOK OF SALADS by Bebe Daniels and Jill Allgood, cook book published by Prentice-Hall Publishing Co., 206 pp.) This volume contains recipes for 282 salads, and that’s a lot of rab- bit food! A goodly portion of them are favorites of various British and American theatre and other per- sonalities. Now there {fs no logical dietetical or biological reason why a tomato salad recipe approved by Rex Har- rison, or another suggested by Bob Hope, should taste better than one rustled up by the lady at the church supper in Tallahassee. But there are a lot of good solid illogical and sentimental reasons ; why they are better, When Mrs. | Jones can serve the chicken and mushroom salad for her luncheon bridge with the assurance to her guests that it is Bing Crosby's fav- orite, something of the crooner’s glamour enters into the 2 cups of finely cut chicken and the chopped spring onion. And an asparagus salad with ton- gue and cheese recommended by Humphrey Bogart can become the conversation piece of a dull dinner, right down to the vinaigrette dress- ing. The little theatre’s annual banquet in any community will be enhanced by Lawrence Olivier's favorite gree salad, and the town's literary somiety buffet should gain conciderably with a lettuce and tomato salad by J. B. Priestly And what a stag dinner of the Rotary Club could gain with a strawberry and peach salad re- SLICE OF HAM US. AIR FORCE WEATHER BALLOON was caused by loss of the F94s right wing tank in a swift turn, the Air Force said today. All 11 crewmen on the Travis- based bomber were killed when the B29 crashed near Portland, Ore., Wednesday. The jet fighter made it back safely to McChord Field, Wash. Its left wing tank was damaged. The two crewmen were not injured. A spokesman said presumably the planes collided as the jet made Is firing run on the bomber on a routine training maneuver, The Air Force previously said the B29 crash was caused by an explosion in flight.

' Attractions Of Key West Told The attractions of Key West are outlined and all of Florida as a year-round vacation spot is pub- jlicized in a colorful new brochure being distributed by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The brochure first compares the delightful Florida climate with the climates of northern spots, dwelling on the year-long opportunities of- fered for participation in outdoor Sports. “Ladies are lovelier for living in Florida,” both because of their buoyant health and rosy tans and for the fact that the pleasant re- laxed pace keeps them young. The pamphlet describes life and activities in the upper east coast, lower east coast, central and west coast areas of the state. An enclos- ed folder lists Florida towns and the offering of each one in the way of tourist entertainment. Of Key West, the folder says “Our southernmost city, 375 miles ‘farther south than Cairo, Egypt. {Here are what the United States | Bureau of Fisheries calls the fin- jest fishing grounds in the country; golf, bathing, a tropical aquarium, | turtle crawls, Key West Naval | Station, old forts.
