ff. Our Doily Bread Sliced Thin by The Editor Alex. H. Washburn 'i? No Military Men in the Race for Presidcnj Dwight Eisenhower's firm "No" Monday night to Democratic overtures lor the presidential nomination will probably be considered final. Thus the ,1948 campaign is likely to see Republican Dcwey opposed Democrat Truman, and we have the prospect of a postwar election without a professional military man heading either ticket.

Regardless oi one's high regard for the top generals individually this is all to ine good. On the Republican side the Hearst newspapers did their sensational best to get Douglas MacArthur nominated. And on the- Democratic side tlidre was considerable wishful thinking in behalf of Eisenhower by Southerners who have definite for opposing Truman's rcnorrunation, and by important Eastern Democratic leaders who have little confidence in the president's campaigning ability. But of the two generals Eisenhower came out of the political storm somewhat belter shape than MaeArthur. The latter aid permit his name to be proposed in the Republican convention only to see it ignored.

escaped that risk. You can probably explain it by the laet that has been- out of the country for a decade and a half, while Eisenhower has remained in close vouch with public thinking And what th- public is thinking about professional military men is what Americans have always thought when it comes to naming a picsiuLiu: Every time we. throw a military man into the political arena we lose a general without gaining a good presidium, Incvil- we think back to General Grant, one of the worst presidents irv history. American political system may be hard-headed, hidebound ana inefficient, but it is designed to serve two definite purposes these it does serve. It prevents complete domination of government by one man, and it provides the people with a choice oetwcen two major parties from time to time.

The system calls for a long appienliccship in politics, to which a military man is both pur belief and our practical experience tell us.

Demo Platform Group Trying to Cool South Washington, July 6 Democratic platform drafters talked today of writing in a strong States Rights plank to help to cool off Southern bitterness over civi! rights. The issue oi granting greater rights to Negroes and other minority groups has stirred up a major problem for the platform writers as they got ready for their first meeting in Philadelphia tomorrow. This is the reported aim of the platform committee, headed by Pennsylvania's Senator Francis J. Myers: To find some compromise satisfactory both to thn backers of President Truman's controversial civil rights program and to the Southerners who have threatened to split the party wide open over that program. The group plans to hold public hearings tomorrow.

Thursday, and probably Friday. The convention opens on Monday. The civil rights question is expected to get a and possibly before both the committee and the full convention. Leaders of Negro groups, representing substantial voting strength, have asked to be heard by Myers' committee. They are expected to demand a plank calling for anti poll tax, anti-lynch, fair employment and other civil rights legislation.

Meanwhile, at Minneapolis, May or Hubert H. Humphrey, a member of the platform committee, announced that 50 party leaders in eluding Franklin D. Roosevelt will trv to squeeze Mr. Truman's entric program into the platform. Any such move would be cure to set off furious Southern reaction.

Caught between the two disputing groups, the compromisers were re ported to be considering this tack as a middle ground which might hold the support, however reluctant, of both factions: .1. Put into the 1948 platform the same general language on civil rights that was incorporated in the 1944 platform after a bitter struggle; 2. Follow this up with a strong plank stating the party's opposition to federal interference with states' rights. The 1944 Democratic race plank said: "We believe that racial and religious minorities have the right to live, develop and vote equally with all citizens and share the rights that are guaranteed by our constitution. Congress should exert its full constitutional powers to protect those rights." Dixie Democrats accepted this language in 1944.

But they launched a bitter attack on Truman earl" this year when he sent a message Congress calling among other things, for a fair employment practice bill and legisla lion against lynching, poll taxes, and segregation on interstate transportation. Congress passed none of these measures. The Republican party, in its Philadelphia co ion last month, wrote into its platform a plank favoring legislation against lynching ant! poll taxes and opposing racial segregation in the armed forces. Negro leaders, reminding the GOP platform writers that the 1944 document had said nearly the same thing, accused the party of having failed to deliver on its promises. ArrestS Here Eisenhower Says He Cannot Take Nomination New York, July 6 Gen.

Dwight D. Eisenhower last night made a flat disavowal of political ambitions with a statement that he "could not accept nomination for any public office." Eisenhower broke a political silence of almost six months to take public cognizance of the booming draft-Eisenhower movement within the Democratic party. But many leaders of the draft movements said they would not take the general's "no" for an answer and would continue efforts to win the top spot on the Democratic ticket for him. Eisenhower's statement, released by Robert Harron, Columbia University Director of Public Information, said: "I will not, at this time, identify myself with any political party, and could not accept nomination for any public office or participate in partisan political contest." James Roosevelt eldest son of the late president and California Democratic chairman, insisted on going ahead with plans to nominate the wartime supreme commander. Roosevelt said that "General Ei- scnhcwer's statement confirms his desire not to seek partisan political office.

The people of this country, at this time. I believe, desire a national unity candidate, "General Eisenhower's state mcnt clearly indicates that he will not serve as a partisan president but will answer a call to national duty. I am tonight, therefore, reissuing the call for the caucus to be held in Philadelphia this coming Saturday night." Roosevelt and 17 other leading Democrats had issued a call for preeonvention caucus to dis cuss Eisenhower's possible nomina tion. Frank Hague, Democratic na tional vivc chairman, who threw New Jersey's 36 convention votes to Eisenhower Sunday, was not available but one of his lieutenants said the matter might not "neces sarily be finally closed." Among those who accepted the Eisenhower statement as a final refusal was Leon Henderson, chair man of Americans for Democratic action. He said it amounted to rejecting the nomination.

James S. Peters, Georgia State chairman, said his state's conven votes now would go to Sen. Russell of Georgia. The statement from who as chief of staff to ac cept the presidency of Columbia University, was in the form of a memorandum to Harron. Associated Press Newspaper Enterprise Ass'n.

July 6 Meet Death Over the U.S. By The Associated Press More than 550 persons were killed in accidents over the nation during the three-clay Independence Day holiday, including 297 in traffic mishaps.

The 1941 Fourth of July holiday death total from highway accidents was 384, which was an all-time annual record for automobile fatalities.

The former Jersey city mayor, who on Sunday in Asbury'Park led the New Jersey delegation from support of Truman to endorsement of Eisenhower at an extraordinary party caucus, continued: "1 can advise the president that New Jersey will go into the Republican column by over 300,000 votes" if President Truman is the candidate.

Police said she had taken her own life. Clutched in her hand was a satin ribbon with the lord's prayer imprinted in gold lettering. On a nearby dresser was a final note addressed to her mother. Capt. of Detectives Emmett Jones said: "this is definitely a suicide." The detective said there were four bottles of sleeping pills in Miss Landis' bathroom and dressing room.

He said an empty bottle was found near the body. Capt. Jones reported tho beautiful blond actress, 29, had died perhaps 12 hours before the body was found by Film Actor Rex Harrison, who said he had been unable to reach her by telephone regarding a business matter. The officers said a maid was in the homo but had thought Miss Landis was still in her bedroom and did not notice the body huddled in a corner of the bathroom. Miss Landis left a note, written on her own stationery, which readj as follows: "Dearest "I'm sorry, really sorry to put you through this but there is no I way to avoid love you darling, you have been the most wonderful i mom that applies to all our family.

Other diplomatic informants said there appeared no doubt that ho demanded the immediate lifting of the Berlin blockade, and protested P.ussias recent policies in the German capital. They said he argued that the Soviet Union must directly accept responsibility for any lack of supplies among tlxe millions of Germans living in Berlin. White did not define what was meant by period of time in which the Soviet government could study the American note but presumably it meant several days at least. The contents of the notes from the three Western powers are not expected to be disclosed'for several days. Notes similar to that of the U.

Tito Gets Support of Slavs Belgrade, July 7 Yugoslavs were reported today to have given evidence of support for Premier Marshal Tito, who has been denounced by the Soviet-controlled Cominform.

The Yugoslav Communist newspaper Borba said last night that in five days the public subscribed $50,000.000 of the $70,000,00 national loan. Other press accounts said local committees of the Communist party all over the country are sending messu to Belgrade that they are "with tne marshal." The National Organization of War Invalids resolved that its members will renew their efforts toward helping build socialism under Tito. But there was an air of contradiction in the oress. On the front pages appeared reports of blistering replies by Yugoslav Communist leaders to the Cominform charges that Tito and his Itaulen- nants were deviating from the Orthodox communist line and were pursuing a hateful policy toward Russia. The back pages of the same papers carried news items telling of normal operations between the countries belonging to the Comin- form or Communist International Information Bureau.
