Page 12 THE’ KEY WEST CITI ZEN Saturday, October 25, 1952 Dixie Newspaper Editors Say GOP May Carry Some Southern States In Presidential Poll NEW YORK, (#—Some Repub- lican penetration of the Solid South on Noy. 4 would come as no great surprise to Southern editors. But the Dixie newsmen regard Bine states with 87 electoral votes sure for Gov. Adlai Stevenson @s anything can be in politics. The editors and political writers taking part in the Associated Press second survey, made in mid-Octo- ber, think if the election were held today,’ Eisenhower and the Repub- licans would have a 50-50 chance capture Florida, Virginia and exas. The three are still rated a toss up to about the same degree that they were in an earlier survey fust before Labor Day. Tennessee and Virginia, with 23 electoral votes, the newsmen re- gard as doubtful, but leaning slightly toward Stevenson. Georgia Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, North and South Caro- lina, Oklahoma and West Virginia the other Southern and border states, are expected to remain true to the Democratic tradition. Although Eisenhower gains were reported in the survey, they still are not regarded as sufficient to | accord the Republican nominee better than an even chance in any of the 14 states. The surveyors’ sizeup of the situation in individual states in- eluded: Alabama (11 electoral votes) -- Still Democratic by a two to one majority, but it was four to one or even more in other years. Most estimates came from edi- ‘ors supporting Eisenhower. They expect the general to gather in only four of 67 counties even though his September visit to the state gave the Republican cause a shot in the arm. One newsman summed the situa- ion in the state up in this fashion: SECTION - 9-1 NEWS By JOYCE THOMPSON Our former classmate, Georgen- is Mo'con, who now attends Dorsey f= of Liberty City visited us. {- -vore very happy to. see her, * are all proud to have our n six persons to represent us » football team:- Alfred Cur- “nes Poitfer, Floyd Sweeting, ~ Edwards, Joseph Kee and -'4 Carey.

Charles “Crag Legs” voters in his area “will, on election day showdown, demonstrate what their forefathers taught them ~ to | live and die under the banner of the Democratic Party.” Florida (10 electoral votes) -- Still a stand - off, with missing cancel a lead credited to Eisen- hower in counties for which esti- mates came in, Effects of visits from the candidates--the first in history for Florida -- just about cancelled out, too. Soundings in 40 of 67 counties with 88 per cent of the registered voters included nine polls. Seven gave an edge to Eisenhower, two favored Stevenson--and all editors were more conservative in their estimates than the poll results, Newsmen figured Eisenhower had gained in at least 16 counties by reason of hard work by the GOP, help from Democrats for Eisenhower clubs, repercussions from Truman attacks and Demo- cratic dissension. They estimated Stevenson had moved ahead in 10 counties, on account of such fac- tors as the Taft-Eisenhower asso- ciation, a lessening of Eisenhower glamor, Democratic voting tradi- tions. Georgia (12 electoral votes) -- Stevenson is expected to make a better showing than President Tru- man did four years ago--and Eis- enhower may pull nearly twice as many votes as Herbert Hoover racked up in 1928. The Democratic nominee’s big margin in a September canvass looks even larger in the mid-Octo- ber survey, chiefly because edi- tors of weekly newspapers boost Stevenson estimates in rural areas. Newsmen report a lot of pro-Eisen- hower talk but doubt it will be turned into GOP votes. “They hated Truman in 1948,” one editor recalls, “‘and voted for him 3 to 1.” chool News Clarke and Donald Carey are the “Tigers” scatbacks from both for- mations.

One -ay ask the question, “Just how did Columbus happen to dis- cover a new world when there were so many opposing thoughts as to the possibility of such an accom- plishment?” The answer is that Columbus had a-conviction and a belief that no one could shake. This conviction was that the earth was round and not flat as leading geographers of the day believed. Because he believed in himself, he was willing to risk his life to prove that he was right--and right he was. Students of Douglass, let the life of Columbus serve as a challenge to you. “Have an aim in life and strive to accomplish it.” DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL ‘CHORAL CLUB By HILTON WILLIAMS The Choral Club was organized with the following officers: President, Kenneth Carey Vice president, Pauline Edwards Secretary, Alfred Saunders, Jr. Assi’ at secretary, Carolyn Mont- gomery Treasurer, Ellouise Fisher Chaplain, Thomas Dean Castillo Business manager, Edward Clark Reporter, Hilton Williams The thirty-five voice choir has | been rehearsing for several weeks and is now making plans’ for a | radio broadeast on October 25,1952 | which will mark their first appear- tance for this term.

WASHINGTON ® — Economic Stabilizer Roger Putnam today carefully examined a joint appeal from the soft coal operators and the United Mine Workers that he overrule the Wage Stabilization Board and approve a $1.90 daily wage boost for John L. Lewis’ miners. The appeal, details of which Put- nam has refused to discuss pub- licly, was signed by Harry M. Moses, president of the Bitumi- nous Coal Operators Association and John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers union. The WSB last Saturday reduced the wage increase negotiated by Lewis and the industry by 40 cents on grounds that any more than $1.50 a day would be inflationary. Putnam, who has supervision over the WSB, called the wage boost cutback ruling “very coura- geous” and indicated his agree- ment with it. Lewis’ 375,000 soft coal miners immediately went on strike and Lewis has said they will return to work when they get the full $1.90. Despite Putnam’s apparent en- dorsement of the WSB action, some observers felt that some other gov- ernmental officials were doing their best to persuade Putnam that the full wage boost should be ap- proved in the interest of produc- tion. In last summer’s long steel dis- pute, Putnam was overruled by the White House on the question of steel prices and -a $5.50 per ton increase in the price of steel was granted. Should Putnam reject” the coal man could be asked to overrule both Putnam and the WSB. | Moses bargains | with an estimated annual produc- | tion of 240 million tons of coal, | the largest single bargaining group | in the industry. Joseph E. Moody, who heads the Southern Coal Pro- |ducers Association with an esti- mated annual production of 100 million tons, did not join with Moses and Lewis in the petition. It was learned, however, that {Moody sent a letter to Lewis yes- terday asking the United Mine Workers chief to get his men back to work. | The strike is now in its sixth | day.

The first volume will be printed soon. He thinks this selec- tion of Jewish thought of all ages will bring a better understanding of what Jews stand for. The book has been in prepara- tion for 30 years, Fifteen volumes of it have been printed in He- brew. It is expected to run to 35 or 36 volumes when complete. The English version will be shorter— about’ 18 volumes. It is built around the forah (law) of the Jews which is contained in the first five chapters of the Old Testament—Genesis, Exodus, Le- viticus, Numbers and Deutero- nomy. Much of the vast body of Jewish thought has been written as eom- mentary on the Torah, but the many comments never before have been assembled where they can be read with the Torah. The job of assembling the widely seattered books and manuscripts was started more than 30 years | ago by Dr. Menachem M. Kasher. | He traveled all over the world, |found manuscripts in Yemen, in DEGAS Prevents Mildew Destroys Musty Odors! For Closets, Cupboards, Ete, Only 69¢ AMERICAN CHEMICAL CO.

With these, he supplemented the scattered works dating from hundreds of years B.C. to mod- ern times. He thinks the works he has se- lected for inclusion in the complete Torah will provide a fair and use- ful picture of what the Jews of all “This is a living religion,” he says. In the appendixes to the first volume are articles on time, evolution, the atom and on love of mankind in which the works of modern scientists and thinkers has been linked with that of the Jewish sages. His associates-say that in print- ing of comments in sharp disagree- ment with each other he has dem- onstrated the freedom of Jewish thought through the ages. They think he has shown the Jews have a God whose mercy extends to all nations since the time of Abraham. This is contrary to the opinion of some non-Jewish thinkers who say the early Jewish God was merely a tribal Deity.

Censorship Row SEATTLE (#—An argument over the right.of a television station to censor his script kept Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis) off the air here Thursday in a tempestuous. wind- up of a rough visit to thir state. The senator, scheduled to make a 15-minute telecast over KING-TV, was asked to delete two paragraphs from his text which referred to two staff members of columnist Drew Pearson. He refused on the grounds the station had no right to censor a paid political speech. He was told he would have to agree or he could not go on the air. Station officials said they told McCarthy he could substitute two other paragraphs or could give the balance of his re- marks, Neither would yield and when broadcast time came, they were still arguing. The station then an- nounced the telecast was canceled for reasons beyond its control. KING officials and McCarthy then got into an argument over whether he or the station had can- celed the speech. It never was re- solved and the senator left 45 min- utes later to catch a plane back to Chicago. Otto Brandt, general manager of the broadcasting company, said | the company’s lawyers had advised them the two paragraphs in ques- tion were libelous unless McCar- thy could furnish satisfactory evi- dence’ of . their truth. McCarthy said he could not im- mediately provide the proof and the matter was ordered deleted. Prior to his scheduled telecast last night he spoke for 15 minutes at the Washington State Press Club gridiron dinner in Seattle but had a difficult time making himself heard over the boos and catcalls which greeted him. at ALL GROCERS A.
