soon to meet in Philadel- Dhia. probably will profit by re-reading the platform of 1932 on which the New Deal won tJower. That platform said: We advocate an Immeaiate and drastic reduction of government expenditures abolishing useless commissions and oflBces. consolidating departments and bureaus and eliminatine extravagance, to accomplish a of not less than 25 per cent in the cost of FeFderal government. We condemn the open and covert resistance of administrative officials to everv effort made by congressional committees to curtail the extravagant expenditures of the eov- emment.

and to revoke improvident subsidies eranted to favored interests. Since the cost of Federal government is in large part determined by the cost of personal service, the Federal pay roll of 1933 is another item that might be re-examined by the Democratic National Convention. In 1933 the number of Federal employes was about 560.000 Today, after a reduction of more than 1,500,000 from the wartime oeak, the number stands at approximately 2.000.000 and in recent months has been growing. The size of the Federal pay roll, almost three years after the fighting ended, is a measure of the distance that the New Deal will have to back-track to get within hailing distance of its 1932 pnifessions. It is also a measure of what fifteen vears of the New Deal have meant in the wav of centralization of authority in the United States.

The World Today German Crisis Eases Somewhat MOVEMENT FOR EISENHOWER GROWS AMONG DEMOCRATS (Continued Frwn One) The Eisenhower Mirage (From Cleveland Plain Dealer) The Democrats are giving the country a pathetic exhibition of frustration and wistful thinking as the time draws near when they must undertake the distasteful chore of nominating Harry S. Truman as their presidential candidate. They know perfectly well that if Truman heads their ticket the prospect of a Democratic victory this fall is extremely remote. But in the distance they see an inviting mirage which most of the time appears to resemble Gen. Eisenhower, president of Columbia University, and part of the time takes on the appearance of Supreme Court Judge William O.

Douglas. All over the country Democrats are beating their breasts and exclaiming that if they could only ditch Truman and draft Eisenhower the party might have a chance. In Wisconsin, where delegates pledged to Truman were elected last spring, a state party convention was hastily adjourned Sunday to shut off a spontaneous want demonstration. Tlie California delegation headed bv James Roosevelt, eldest of the late president, is also nominally pledged to Truman, but most of the delegates would prefer Eisenhower and they have adopted a wait-and- see-what-happens at Philadelphia pwlicy, Elliott Roosevelt, another of the late president, declared Monday he did not believe Eisenhower could refu.se a draft if the forthcoming Philadelphia convention nominated him. Leon Henderson, national chairman of the Americans for Democratic Action, sees potential Eisenhower delegates lurking behind every bush.

He thinks they would come out in the open if they were free to make their own choice. All this Ei.senhower talk is a confession of weakness. It is an admission on the part of its promoters that they do not believe the party can win with Truman. They do not know whether the general is a Republican or a Democrat, whether approves or disapproves of the record made bv the 80th Congress or what his attitude would be toward modifying or strengthening New legislation. All they know is that they would have a better chance of winning with Eisenhower than with Truman.

Months ago Elsenhower turned down an opportimity to be a candidate for the Republican nomination. In effect, he turned down the presidency, becau.se he almost certainly could have been nominated and elected. It is fantastic to imagine that the general now would accept the nomination of a party which is on the way out. The fact is the Democrats are stuck with Ti'uman and thev might as well make up their minds to so to Philadelphia week after next and take their medicine without BY DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst The crisis growing out of Russia's effort to the civilian population of Western Berlin by food blockade remains serious, but it I strikes this observer as having im! proved basically in favor of the democracies. There always comes a time when the schoolyard bully gets hLs bluff called.

what is happening to Muscovites in Germany now. They thought that America, Britain and France would recoil oe- fore the utterly cruel scheme of plunging 2,500,000 people into hunger by halting food trains, all of which have to pass through Russian occupied territory that completely the capital. But the Reds had yelled once too often. Uncle Sam and John Bull immediately started flying into Berlin with a fleet of big airplanes. They did such a good job by Thursday General Lucius D.

Clay, U. S. military governor, declared: can supply all the food Berlin needs by air and we can make a hell of a good effort to fly in all the coal Berlin needs, When Clay uses that sort of lang- he is Previously he had announced that notli- ing short of war could drive America out of Berlin, and Britain echoed in effect: Meantime Washington. London and Paris and have been conferring regarding measures for dealing with the imbroglio. "What Russia apparently has been up to is to force the Western Allies out of Berlin after which she would establish a Soviet state in Eastern Germany with this strategic transport center as the capital.

Possession of this great and historic city would provide a strong line to persuade the people of Western Germany to unite with the Communist state in due course. However, the Muscovite blockade hasn't jelled. The Western Allies have refused to be bullied. True, the battle over yet, and the Reds may have else up their sleeve, for they work Irv stealth and trickery. Still, the Russians would seem to have maneuvered themselves into an uncomfortable spot, and have given some indication that they were keeping the way open for retreat, The Communist command in Germany has remarked that the railroad blockade was inaugurated to enable repairs to the line and that these would be effected shortly.

In any event, not only the blockade but the whole wretched German situation has reached a point from which expect the Russians to withdraw to escape embarrassment and consolidate their pasition. The decision of the democracies to create a German state out of the three Western zones leaves the Bolshevists the choice of Joining in and making it a foursome or of establishing their own Soviet state.

Allen is seeing Eisenhower is seeing him on his own, I don't know for what is certainly not an of President Ross said. J. Howard McGrath, Democratic National chairman, said the White House taken any steps to get Ksenhower to remove himself from the race.

This checked reports from another Truman spokesman, who said Allen Is acting 'as a in seeking a statement from I the general. It was the President's position, this official said, that Mr. Truman going to ask Eisenhower even indirectly what the in- i tentlons are. But there was no doubt I that Mr. friends knew all about Allen's mission in advance.

I With the President barred by his own decision from making any aflirmative move, the heat to sidetrack him for Eisenhower got hotter by the hour. Virginia Democrats For Virginia Democrats, spurred by i Senator Harry F. planted I both feet in the camp. Their convention at Richmond instructed the 26-vote delegation to Philadelphia to work for nomination and to vote unanimously against any candidate who is for Mr. Truman's civil rights program.

The Virginia action followed I roaring approval by the Georgia Democratic convention of a resolution urging Eisenhower to "respond i to this call for The Georgians, with 28 nominating votes, adopted another resolu- Ition denouncing President Truman as a source of confusion and It called on the President to quit the nomination race. I Elsewhere the self-appointed backers sought to touch off a prairie fire. Eisenhower Backers To Meet Jacob M. Arvey. Chicago Democratic leader who has bee.i In and out of the Truman fold, said James Roosevelt had invited him to a Philadelphia meeting July 10 to talk ovf the Eisenhower prospects.

Roosevelt. Democratic state chairman, told him the meeting would be confined to Arvey said. In Los Angeles, Roosevelt de- Idined comment except; have said 'before that I have talked to a lot of people all over the country about what is best for the He added he expected to issue a statement later today. Arvej called off a scheduled meeting next Tuesday of Illinois Democratic leaders to talk over the Tru- man-Elsenhower split in the 60-vote delegation. The delegates themselves will meet July 11 in Philadelphia to decide their course.

Roosevelt's call for an Eisenhower meeting emphasized reports that leaders fear they count safely on more than 20 of California's 54 delegates to back the President in a pinch. In fact, if an Eisenhower stampede attempt should be made at the convention, Mr. friends think a big bunch of the Californians wduld be in the vanguard of the rade. Tliey conceded that such a stampede might be hard to ston, although Mr. Truman has 286 nledged or instructed delegates, with 390 more claimed in his camp.

He nP'c 610 to cret the nomination. However, many of those claimed for him are the subject of disnnte and even some of the pledrred delegates have said thev do not consider th es legally bound to the President. With 26 and 28 convention votes nledged for that brought to 144 the number committed to someone oth- e. than Mr. Truman or simply to his nomination.

The i uicu oi the reciaun her alter THE SUN DIAL The Summer Theater One curious development of recent years has been the increase and elaboration of the summer theater, Here in Maryland there are four, ene at one at Olney, one up at Braddock Heights, and another at Ocean City. Yet in Maryland summer theaters are scarce compared with the numbers tucked away in old grist mills, haymows and town-meeting houses in New' York, New Jersey and the New England states. In the beginning, most of these summer theaters were the seats of unpretentious stock companies; and many of them still are, their work being impressed with an agreeable combination of enthusiasm and amateurishness.

Bu'" the Idea is undergoing elaboration in various ways. Big names show up like Ilka Chase, Elisabeth Bergner, Mady Christians, Haila Stoddard, Lilhan Gish and Edward Everett Horton, supported by a local cast. Some of these big names stick at stock all summer, for practice. Others drift from one theater to the next, repeating favorite roles. Another elaboration is a summer company that moves complete from barn to barn.

All sorts of motives have contributed to this development of summer theaters. For the professional actors, the theaters provide a busman's liday; for the amateurs, a chance to work off their inhibitions; for the producers, a chance to do what they like with drastically reduced overhead, and to pick up a tidy bit of change in the process. And for the public it has meant a chance to flesh-and-blood theater without having to struggle into and out of downtown traffic, with- having to worry about appropriate clothiiig, without having to submit to a parking nightmare, and without having to spend much money. In consequence, the American theater offers a that there is now more theatrical abundance and variety, so far as many parts of the country are concerned. in the season than there is during the theater season proper.

Tlie theater in this we stare fixedly at the less and le.ss in most lives, yet this theater, this slaphappy summer stuff, is giving many parts of the country what looKs very much like a theatrical renaissance. The fact is that despite the movies. and despite all sorts of other attractions, the appeal of flesh-and- blood play-acting is as strong as ever. The summer theaters prove it. Perhaps the answer to the of the theater is to stop wringing our hands about Its decline and iust extend the summer theater into the Baltimore Sun.
