That is a noble senti- mént, though it has been observed by our country since its inception. Eisenhower's statement was much to the same effect, and so was Stevenson. Stevenson put that idea aptly after | he had sent his telegram of congratulations to Eisen- hower. Stevenson said that it is the tradition in the United States for political parties to fight hard during. cam-! paigns, but, after the vote is counted, the parties become | united as Americans, : : \ His telegram to Eisenhower was graciously worded, | and Eisenhower’s response was in a similar vein, i Newspapers and news commentators asserted that Eisenhower cracked the Solid South. But what cracked the | Solid South was greed and prejudice, not Eisenhower. It! was said in 1928 that Hoover cracked the Solid South, but; what cracked it then was bigotry. } As readers of The Citizen are aware, Governor: Shivers spent two hours with Stevenson in Springfield, | Ill., pleading with him to come out for the rights of states ' to own tidelands. Shivers promised his support of the Democratic ticket if Stevenson agreed to the Texan’ » proposal, But Stevenson replied that the Supreme Court a decided that tjflélands belong to the nation as a ¢, and that he would support the court’s stand. Rather than go back on what he considered a prin- iple, Stevenson preferred to lose Texas’—-24—electoral votes, and he lost them, but still maintains a clear con-, science, j Southern leaders pleaded with Stevenson to go easy; on civil rights by declaring he favored leaving decisions | about them to the states, instead of the federal govern. ment. Again he stood firmly by his prindiple, and lost Vir- ginia and Florida. Key Westers in 1928 proved conclusively that bigotry played no part in the way they voted, All other cities in Florida gave majorities to Hoover, but Key West stood firmly behind Al Smith. Yesterday, the remainder of Florida piled up big ma- jorities for Eisenhower, because of Stevenson's attitude on | civil rights, but"Key West again put fairness and justice | above prejudice. Finally Key Westers, though they voted agatust Eisenhower, sincerely trust that his administration will be| a success. Key Westers congratulate Eisenhower, not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans, A country can raise its intellectual standard no fast- er than individuals within raise theirs. What are you do- ing to improve your mind? SL | The World Today By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (#—General Ei- senhower won the presidency for various reasons which can be re- duced to two, one personel, the other political: he was Eisentower and the voters were fed up with the Truman administration. The proof of his personal draw- ing power was the fact that he confidence in him already estab- lished, gave him an overwhelming advantage from the start. Stevenson, unknown outside Mli- nois until his nomination, had to begin his campaign from scratch. Even so, Eisenhower’s great prestige might have been offset by the unknown Stevenson, merely be- cause he was the Democratic can- didate, if there had been no rea! igsues and the voters were satisfied with the Democrats. But Eisenhower inherited .a-bun-- dle of issues which the Republicans- had been harping on for months |or years and which put Stevenson. in an even worse spot: he wag ir a defensive position from the start, The Republicans made the most of high taxes, high prices, exposure of crookedness and flexible ethies the Democratic administration, and the stalemated Korean War. They -stimulated further doubt about the administration with their endless charges of Communists in government. For Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had shepherded them out of a de- Pression and successfully through most of World War II, the people developed an amazing confidence which they exhibited by electing him four times. It was as if they considered him a wise father who could lead them through darkness and danger. They had less faith in the Demo- crats nder President Truman, as they showed when they had their first chance to, which was in the congressional elections of 1946. Go- ing into that election the Demo- crats controlled both houses of Congress. But the Republicans said: “Had enough?” The voters apparently thought they did. They elected Republican majorities in House and Senate, When it came time for the pres!- dential race in 1948 the Republi- cans tried the “had enough?” slogan again. It worked in reverse. Congress for two years, the voters thought they had enough of them. They re-elected Truman and put |German Orphan Girl Is New Film Star, Has Cinderella Past After Her Discovery By DANIEL DE LUCE FRANKFURT, Germany @ — A little occupation waif is Germany's newest film star. Even before her first picture was’ released, 52-year-old Elfie | Fiegert had won millions of Ger- j man fans, ) Elfie is a Cinderella who was | born with three strikes on her. The touching story of her life — from lorphanage to movie studio — is | known now to all newspaper read- ‘ers in this country. Her face, brown and sweet as. chocolate, graces the covers of national magazines. i Thanks to Elfie’s natural charm, few German postwar films had so much advance attention as ‘‘Toxi,” which features her in the,title.role, Back in 1947, Elfie was given to a-charity home for children in Ba- varia by her young, unwed moth- ‘er, who was unable to support her. The father had been a U.S, Negro., soldier. 2 : Half. white and half black, half German and half American, Elfie was wholly lovable. A German ref- ugee couple who had’ lost. their \ daughter through illness afier flee- ing from Silesia in wartime visited the orphanage in 1949, There were many _ all-white children, but they picked Elfie for adoption. Last May, Elfie’s foster| father noticed an advertisement inviting mulatto children to try outfor # screen part. Elfie was introduced to director Robert A.’ Stemmle, who decided she was just right for “Toxi.” Stemmle, who has directed or written 66 screen plays in a long career, taught Elfie not to notice the camera, kept her in bubbling good humor and drew out her na- tive talent for mimicry It wasn’t work for Elfie. | thought it was a game. The plot of “Toxi’ revolves |around a forsaken mulatto child \in occupied Germany, who comes |to the attention of a well-to-do {German family.

Until last month it was felt that this powerful segment of expatri- ates, influential beyond their num- bers in The Philippines, Indochina, Indonesia, Malaya, Burma, -Thai- land and elsewhere had merely turned their backs on communism. They had not swung to the Nation- alist cause. Now it looks as though they might-be veering Chiang’s way. During. most of October some 257 delegates representing Chinese. around the globe met in Taipeh, Formosa, for what-was called the Chinese Overseas Affairs Confer- ence. Chiang called for economic blockade of the Reds and a sweep- ing boycott of Chinese who deal with them. Although the delegates endorsed resolutions to this effect by acclamation, observers here doubt if Chiang will be able to muster full support. The overseas Chinese is a hard- eaded businessman who meets payrolls and sells merchandise. He taps rubber and runs shipping dines and keeps banks functioning. A London report said Russia got 64,853 tons of rubber during the first six months of this year from countries in the Western camp. A lot of it was tapped and shipped by overseas Chinese — some of whom may have been delegates at the Formosa meeting. In this sense, the overseas Chi- nese is not an all-out antagonist { ' After watching the Republicans in | im the asphalt jungles of a city, he | of communism or a pro - Chiang fighter. living abroad are permanently won But if the bulk of the Chinese ; vove face natu In Comparison To Jackson's By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (%~So you think this ea fg Pee a pepe: one? You shot ave been around i 1828. zi “The contest between Adlai Ste- venson and Dwight Eisenhower was ; mild compared to other presiden- tial races in the past,” remarked Irving Stone, noted author and ex- pert on presidential history. “Of course, there was a lot of name-calling this year, particularly in the last two weeks. That. hap- pens in every election. By that | time the campaigners are like auto- matons hurtling through space; they say things out of arger and fatigue that they really don’t mean. “But at least we have reached the point where wives are no longer brought into the arena for slaught- er. The most shocking example of tween Andrew Jackson and John | Quincy Adams.” Stone wrote a biography of Mrs. Jackson, called “The President's Lady.” It has. just been filmed with Susan Hayward and Charleton Heston as the Jacksons. The story tells how the 1828 campaign killed the President's wife. |. “Henry Clay, who was running the Adams campaign, realized | Jackson had tremendous popular- ie said Stone. “Clay decided the only way to beat. Jackson was through his wife.” Rachel Jackson had previously been married to a cruel landowner from whom she fled. She heard later hat he had divorced her, and so she married Jackson. But the divorce was found to be incom- plete, and her former husband then divorced her on grounds of adul- tery. “Clay dug up the trial and pub- licized it throughout the country in newspapers and pamphlets,” Stone recounted. “She was called ‘adulteress’ and worse. Copies of obscene songs about her were dis- tributed on street corners. Jackson was called ‘wife-stealer’ by his opponents. “Despite these efforts, Jackson won by an electoral vote of 178 to 83. But he lost his wife. As she was preparing to leave for the inaugu- ration, she overheard two women calling her vile names. Already shunned by Nashville society and weakened by the attacks, she fell ih a coma and died two days later.” Key West Harbor Chart Available The 4th edition of nautical chart 576 covering Key West Harbor, Florida, has just been published, Rear Admiral R.
