The story might have added that Mr.

It is concerned with a traditional rite of politics that is performed every four years. The par, ticipants change, but the ritual remains unaltered. The naming of a candidate, for vice president climaxes this rite, but it gets scanty attention at the time.

It is hurried through as an anti -climax to the usually exciting business of selecting the top man on the ticket. Not only do the people have nothing to say about this choice; even the conven- tion delegates are virtually voiceless in the matter. This does not mean that capable men have not been chosen by this method. It does mean that they lu -e incapable of being elected in' their own right. Theodore velt managed to be, and so did i Calvin Coolidge.

Mr. TruriSah may make it three. But however able an elected President's successor may be, the manner of selecting him is a contradiction of cratic government. Of the 26 men who have been chosen President by popular elec tion, seven have died in office One would think that this is a high enough percentage to persuade politicians that their candi date is mortal. Yet the possible occupant of the White House is chosen privately by a small group, or sometimes by an individual.

And, as a rule, the reasons for the choice have little to do with presidential qualifications. The choice for vice president must not come from the same section of the country as the party choice for President. If he comes from the same general neighborhood as the opposition's presiden tial candidate, that is supposed to be so much the better. All this reasoning may be sound, but it seems td be directed at state political organizations rather than at the voters. For the must take the politicians' choice for vice president.

And we feel confident in saying that the number of votes infuenced one way or the other by this second-place choico is considerably smaller than the number of votes the Prohibition Party's candidate for President will poll. Such indifferences makes it seem that the voters are much to blame as the politicians in this But, under the circum- Stances, the lack of interest can be understood. They are offered a i candidate for a high-sounding 'job whoae routine duties could be filled by an intelligent government clerk with a knowledge of parlla- mentary procedure. The fact that this candidate might some "day be President is carefully soft-pedaled Dotl parties. It has been suggested that there THE WORLD fly DeWitt Mackenzie (AP Foreign Attain Analyst) With the beginning of a new year, foreign affairs analysts don their robes of prophecy to make learned forecasts for the ensuing 12 months.

So your columnist offers his contribution. The first thing vvc see for '48 ia that the all-important of the year will be the development of the now strained relations between the world's two dominant powers and America. The very way of life of mankind depends on the trend. The most important phase of this conflict in '48 is likely to be the battle for western Europe. The outcome will hinge on the degree of success of the Marshall plan for program against whiel.

Moscow has declared open and bitter warfare. If the Marshall plan succeeds, it will give the countries of western Europe the strength to withstand communist aggression. In short, the Bolshevists will be held along the Stettin-Adriatic line which they now occupy. This will mean that the dangers of another world war have been vastly lessened. On the other hand, failure of the plan will permit the communists to sweep through the English channel.

That, in my view, would make global conflict inevitable. As this is written the chances are £'Ood for success of the Marshall plan. HARD-hit Italy and both key countries in the rehabilitation picking up; Material aid and American backing have created a much needed morale which will carry these nations far. The signs read that America and Britain will have to take more decisive action to save Greece from Red aggression. The fate of this liberty-loving Balkan state probably will be decided this year.

As this column often has pointed out, Greece is of vast strategic importance to democracy. Totalitarian communism will continue to be one of the greatest issues in most countries. However, in western Europe and in the western hemisphere there will be a continuation of the present trcn-l toward the right. Non-Partisan Marshall Plan Survey Urged By Bell WASHINGTON, D. C.

(JP) non-partisan survey of the Marshall plan's probable impact on the American economy was urged today by Senator Wiley (R-Wis). Wiley, a member of the senate foreign relations committee, said he believes Chairman Vandenberg made a good move in asking the Brookings institution for a report on the best way to administer the nid of 16 western European nations. But he said he thinks the findings of the privately-financed research organization should be broadened to include "an estimate on how these proposed exports to foreign countries are going to affect us at home.

Davidson JERUSALEM, PALESTINE Memoirs of Hagana, the Jew ish militia, announced today that four Arabs were shot to death in a midnight reprisal raid on an Arab stronghold in the bloody no-man's land between Jewish Tel-Aviv and Arab Jaffa. HAGANA said British police searched a Jewish house in the area and after police withdrew Arabs fired on the house from a strongpoint across the street, wounding three Jews.

The Hagana raid on the Arab stronghold followed. Barring unforeseen mishaps, Britain's gallant fight for economic recovery will produce substantial results that will guarantee ultimate success. Things in China will continue to go from bad to worse, barring big- scale military assistance from outside. That vast country is in state of chaos. TA KING it all in all, I see no reason why we should be seriously pessimistic over the coming year.

Wo mustn't forget that the world still is suffering grievously from the effects of the most destructive of history, and a quick recovery is war cf history, and a quick recov- ory impossible. Moreover, we are in the conflict with an aggressive communism which derives strength from chaos. Still, the way its getting brighter. The deaths boosted to 523 the number of persons slain in Palestine since the United Nations voted to partition the Holy Land on Nov. 29.

He died at 9:30 a. Tuesday, Dec. 30, 1947 following a seven-week illness, caused by a stroke. Earlier, a Hagana source asserted that the Jewish defense- force is convinced it can take, hold and defend a Jewish state In partitioned Palestine, but that it will take two or three years and will cost many more lives. THIS conviction was disclosed today by a young Jewess who received her training as a Hagana intelligence officer through, several years of working in the anti-nazi undergrounds of Europe.

"We know the Jews of Palestine and of the world are up against the toughest fight they ever had," the Hagana intelligence officer said. "But we know our chances," she added, "even though the Arabs are getting help from the British now, we are convinced that the Jews can win the fight without help from the outside other than from the Jewish people. "IT MAY take two or three years of fighting and it will cost us many lives, but we can win it by our own strength." IPX AT ROCHESTER, MINN. Jlr. and Mrs.

Y. in Carroll county ir now worth more than $48,674,000, and rural homes here and throughout the state are in the best condition in history, according t6 a report just released by the Tilo Council of America. More than 86 per cent of farm dwellings in Iowa and the North Central states are in excellent dition or need only such pairs as painting or general maintenance, the report revealed. "Oply.

69.9 per cent were in good repair' in 1940. The report was bureau of the census surveys'. "The rise in farm property values since 1940 has' been accompanied by a great 'increase in the number of rural homes equipped with such nrodern conveniences as electric tiled baths and showers and running water," said F. B. Ortman, chairman of the council's residential construction committeel Electricity, for gone into hundreds of thousands of rural dwellings in this state and others in the north central area: since 1940, Ortman noted.

More than 65 per cent of such farm homes now have electric lights, in contrast to 39.4 per-cent in 1940. More than 33 per cent of rural dwellings in the north central region today have funning water, and 22 per cent have private baths, according to the tile council report. In 1940, 17.3 per cent had running water and only 11.3 per cent private baths. Vandenberg's (action also was i applauded by Senators Brooks (R- i.illl) and Taft (R-Ohl3), both of President Truman's proposal for a four-year, $17,000,000,000 and Speaker of the House Martin (R-Mass). BROOKS, who was called for a administration of the aid program divorced from the state department, said he also would welcome a study by "any authoritative group which can tell us how best we can use our resources to give incentive to production abroad." Taft told a news conrorencc yesterday that he doesn't like President Truman's proposal for a program administrator and a roving ambassador abroad "because it makes the administration practically a bureau in the state department and I think it should be a separate agency." "I would like an administrator who is looking just much to the economic welfare of the United States as he to ttw economia welfare of Europe," Taft declared.

SPEAKING from Paris on a democratic party radio program last night, Barkley declared: "If we are to undertake it, let us do it well. Our own welfare and the peace of the world require it.
