Republican Senate and House farm politicians can now be heard in the distance and they are going to get louder before they get quiPt-er There are two reasons why Vice President Nixon is trying to resolve or compromise the Cabinet division as quickly as jiossible Sherman Adams feels that a divided controversial Cabinet paper should not he put to President Eisenhower at this stage of his recuperation Secondly if Mr Benson cannot soon affitm a dear and strong White House position the initiative will he grabbed by every vote-scared farm-hloc Republican Congressman support foe the

that he should not enter all the pnmaries as he did in 1952 They are ruling out for example all those where the results are not binding upon the convention delegates Nor do they feel that there is anything to be gained by challenging favorite sons in their own states certainly where a favorite son is making an open and strong effort to control his state delegation The advantage of winning a state primary which binds the delegates is twofold They also elect the members of the national committee for the next four The Hiatf Case A decision in the now-celebrated case of the Kansas state purchasing director Eugene Hiatt has brought aried editnnal comment from newspapers Some question the ruling of the state civil sen ice hoard others laud it as a practical solution to an pvnlosive political issue Excerpts from editorial columns are presented here: Pittsburg Headlight Both sides won something in the decision It is likelv that the comment on the dcriMon of the hoard will be critical in some quarters This will he based on the idea that the hoard should have said es or no on the case of Hiatt and lot it go at that Fut instead of that the board has seen fit to criticize the manner in which Hntt was fired and then to place the sen ice of the state foremost in upholding the dismissal Certainly this latter makes sense Hiitt could rot have been restored to his inh under those who had insisted upon hi dismissal with anv benefit to the state Hutchinson News-IIorald -Its reprimand of (Gov 1 Hall for Pm firmg sen es notice pn t'-e Governor he must ernmu-lous and careful while carninc out his campaign promises to make changes in the statehouse On the other hand the board is giving the governor the man he wants as ahead of the purchasing department The operation of that important position is now- the sole responsibility as we ho-lieve it should be If anv irregularities are discovered in the department thev cannot be blamed on other side They must be answered for by the governor and others in his administration at the polls next year Abilene Reflector-Chronicle -The decision of the new (civil service! board appointed by Hall himself-not onlv vindicates Hiatt but romes as a severe blow to the governor and will go far in protecting the state civil service laws in the future M-my Kansans including some of Cov Hall's staunchest supporters are of the opinion he bungled the whole Hiatt affair IIis comment when asked for reaction to the board's decision was not that of a pot'shed statesman All of this may set the stage for one of the most and gubernatorial primary campaigns Kansas has seen in manv a year A groundswell Is starting for Hiatt to run for governor a-gamst Hall Topeka State The civil servdee hoard has accomplished the same feat as the fabled horseman who jumped on his horse and rode off In all directions In effect the civil servdee board has held for both Gov Hall and Mr Hiatt It will be very interesting to see whether the Hall administration finds comparable for Mr Hiatt Kansas City Star The two-month controversy between the Kansas governor and his purchasing director which resulted in the firing of two members of the former civil service commission winds up with a rebuke to the governor for Impulsive and summary action but with a practical answer that should ease the operation of the purchasing office It should never have happened The commission handpirked by the governor found properly that not a one of the specific charges of insubordination lack of co-oneration and misconduct in connection with the aeration of the office in itself justified dismissal The controversy may have indirect hene-firial results It demonstrated there had hern widespread violations of the law in previous administrations over political coercion of civil service emflovos It is doubtful that Kansas civil service has been materially damaged loin The board's decision not to reinstate Hiatt to his former position was onlv common sense After nil the charges and counter charges and other frictions incident to his apnenl it would he to put him rtoht back where he was and expect everything to get along ns if nothing had happened The board recognized this Rut it did everything else it could gave htnj his back salary in recognition of the initistice of his dismissal declared that he was a state and ordered that he be placed In a position of equal salary and responsibility somewhere else in the government if possible Independence Whether the discharge was as Hiatt contended purely for political reasons is left for the people of the state to decide in their own minds The whole chain of events Including the smwsal of former members of the board i'self will be decided by some according to whether or not they supported the governor in the Republican primary There have been others who became convinced that the whole deal was political though they did not support him then We heard of any who did not support him in the primary who now believe the discharges were rot basically political Oil Wealth to Dozen Others NOT CONVENTIONS A Look at '56 A Sill ITZ TOFFKA-America will see two national pditical conventions in 1956 the likes of which have seldom been equaled since the turn of the rentuiy In almost bowed reverent and respect to President Eisenhower during his convalescence Republicans are loath to talk openly about the next leader of their party But they are thinking planning talking in whispers They are secretly checker-boarding delegations Various state chieftains believe the Sin Krunusoo convention will produce more candidates than roses on a bush Favorite son delegations will come from states at toss the land Holding those delegations and delivering them to a winner on the psv chologieal roll call will be political strategy of the highest tvpe -A- The situation applies suddenly to both parlies In almost two weeks of traveling this reported found a sudden awakening to previously unexpected opportunities and responsibilities lor king makeis Across the nation came millions of fervent prayers for the complete recovery of the President In the trip which extended almost fiom ocean to ocean and to the shadow of Lisenhouer hospital bed not once was an advised leader encountered who believed Ike would be prevailed upon to seek or accept renonunation On that point are many elements of sound reasoning I he President is not rated as a politician His nomination came mainly Horn popular demand He went to the White House a national hero That role would be largely erased if he sought a second term under conditions which left serious elements of doubt as to his ability to cariy on Voters everywhere it is pointed out would resent a situation which tended to rate Ike as a ixilitirinn Eisenhower reeieotion prior to his illness was rated a shoo-in Results of the Munition leave the two paity nominating events as wide open as a 'lexas cow pasture Demounts who a month ago walked atound the political ring with their guards down now are planning the fight of their lives when delegations are chosen Democrats can conceivably stage another 1924 Madison Square lianlen battle when John Davis won on the lU3id ballot Ur the bitter clash could rival Wood-row Wilsons spectacular nomination in Baltimore in 1912 Republicans also have some ferocious fignting records sm as the deadlock of 1916 which bi ought the harmony call to Justice Charles Evans Hughes They could repeat the smoke-filled room compromise which nomin'ted Warren Harciing in 1920 to break Lire famous Low-den-Wood deadlock Plays on the political front are likely to come with startling rapidity after the President returns to the White House and prepares for the coming session of Congress That session may not pioduce much important legislation It will though dtama-tize issues on domestic and foreign fronts It will be a perfect setting foi displaying lightning rods in advance of nominating conventions Kansas seems certain to join the rank of states offering favorite sons whose names are likely to be presented to the national convention Several columnists as well as Rep William Avery of the Kansas Inst district have advanced the name of Milton Eisenhower former president of Kansas State College and brother of th president Brother Milton is among Ike's chief counselors A move in Milton's direction would confuse the situation and add to prospects of a wide party split the Presidents boyhood state Speculators in the mile-high city doubt seriously that Ike would permit designation of a hand-picked particularly from his own household Gov Fred Hall has been frequently quoted as telling county chairmen during current district pep rallies that he wants a state delegation which will respond to his will in It is a big stake this control of state delegations by favorite sons Kansas may have her name the pot extremely early A favorite son necessarily need to win Ability to horse trade and ride a winner pays off heavily Each day of progress toward recovery tends to increase the list of possible nominees All of which adds to complexities of the 1956 convention Kansas is already in the game with a stack of blue chips WE THE WOMEN Ruth Millett About five years ago she started working because she felt that she and her husband could get out of debt if she could add to the family income Now at 37 with her son 18 and her daughter 15 she finds that financially the family is no better off than when she started working and that in other ways it is worse off Instead of paying off old debts they have made new ones Gradually they pulled away from old friends who had families and started going around and trying to keep up with a free-spending crowd who weren't tied down with family responsibilities The son recently joined the Navy and his mother feels it was because he wanted to get away from a home that was no longer a home With both father and mother working and spending their leisure time with their instead of with their children there wasn't anyone around to make a home for a couple of teenage The mother wants to quit work now and try to make a real home and be a real mother to her daughter But her husband in favor of it She wants to know If she should quit anyway Of course she should It has taken her five years to find out what a real job in life is and where her first duties lie But she has found out and she knows in her heart that she made a mistake when she put a pay check ahead of making a home The only thing to do about a mistake is to quit making it once you recognize it for what it is There are too many homes in America today that have lost all the richness of family life because the wife and mother of the family put a pay check ahead of homemaking There are too many parents who doesn't from school to empty houses being thrown on their own when they are too young children who are given by parents who should be giving them love and attention and time There are too many parents who doesn't see the picture clearly But when one does like the woman whose letter 1 have just summed up the thing to do is to make a new start DALLAS The $50 each that three women anted up during a bridge game fumed into a $137-73638 pot today But the monpy goes to their 11 heirs and a pioneer The contemplated strategy lim- years

II we were exubeiant-ly determined to carry out nur vow that we'd really Paris So we wore out our shoes visiting out-of-the-wav French spots wr got hoarse trying to make ourselves understood in our high school French we gamed five pounds in three days stuffing ourselves with rich French foods sauces ines One late evening as we were ptepanng to go out to another fancy Fiemli dinner party niy hioband suddenly exploded Boy what I give for a good Armenian hamburger and a good American cup of Toward the end of our stay we found a restaurant our French fx tends assuied us was what he wanted There we had an inferior plate of ham and eggs an appalling French version of American and the price made us gasp I recall my husband remark as he paid the check 'If an American hamburger stand opened here it would make a fortune That was years ago And now finally the largest hamburger chain in the world is going to fulfill his wish Early in 1056 the White Tower Restaurant Corp when it opens a branch in the heart of Paris will become the first "short chain operated by Americans and for Americans to invade the Continent The lunchroom will be an exact duplicate of the 225 White Towers vvhieh now dot our countryside from North to South with the identical white walls counters and stools which have characterized the chain since it was founded 30 years ago The management will be strictly American Although under French law 50 per cent of the French company and the dominant personnel must be French the hamburgers rolls mustard coffee etc will be as close to what millions of us have known as the executives can achieve And the prices in francs will match what we pay in dollars When a rumor of the plans reached me I went up to see Thomas Saxe Jr the imaginative and aggressive head of White Tower at Ins hen (quarters in Stamford Conn made you decide to do I nsked be said promptly more and mote tourists traveling abroad everv year with low-cost transportation sure to swell the number of American visitors I don't see how we can miss you know that 65000 Americans are permanently stationed in Paris anyway? We'd open a stand to meet that demand alone even if we couldn't count on a single tourist and we'll get plenty of will the French take to this new American invasion? Won't they resent His genial face broke into the broadest of pixie smiles checked caiefully on just was his answer gieat influx of Americans since the nnd-40s is changing ttie traditional European custom of a long leisurely lunch hour More and more Frenchmen who aie doing business with us are adopting our habit of a quirk bite fluring the day a stop-off at midnight for a snack instead of the usual soup' And since we'll stay open 21 hours a day as we do In the States I he surprised to see as many Frenchmen at the counter in the odd hours as If this experiment Is a success Saxe is convinced it will he-he plans to open White Towers all over the Continent Rome would be next Brussels is on Saxe's schedule before the largest fair in history' opens there in 1938 As Amerirans have swarmed over Europe in recent years we have become known for many things which aren't typical oi us at all But a quick hamburger and a cup of coffee? as typical Americana of the 20th Century as anything can flunk of Anri somehow this whiii my huiband anticipated so long ago inkier my 1 mny-bone and to me highl ghts the smallness of world as lew other business tales have its the job that the and Mrs will have to do in the pre-convention period and wall enable them to concentrate their energies on key situations As of now managers think of only three states in which they are sure he ought to make his best effort to win the primary They are New Hampshire Wisconsin and California New Hampshire is normally Republican and has only four electoral votes But it holds the lead-off primary March 13 and his victory over President Truman who later said he was not a candidate for re-eiection started Kefauver as a serious candidate in 1952 Wisconsin a clue to the farm temper will always be remembered as the place where Wendell Willkie bit the dust in an attempted comeback in 1944 It is a next door neighbor to Adlai Stevenson's state of Illinois Kefauver anticipates a close race here California is of peculiar interest in 1956 Democrats think they have their best chance to carry it in years due to the Republican family fight which finds Gov Knight trying to cut Vice President Nixon down to size with Sen Knowland at the very least bearing it bravely Objective observers report that Kefauver is very popular in California In an attempt to head him off National Committeeman Paul Zifferen has begun to lineup a Stevenson delegate slate This contest will get going very soon and very sharply Kefauver supporters claim they will win it three to two It is difficult to see how Stevenson can duck the Kefauver challenge in states of such importance He might skip New Hampshire and get away with it but hardly Wisconsin and California woman oil well driller who dug a holp for them The story of the

of the lola Register has appeare 1 in Allen County' District Court to answer a charge of indirect contempt of court The complaint was brought by Coniierman an attorney and loin attorneys believe it's the first case of its kind tried in Kansas The action by Conderman was hired on a news storv in the Oct 5 l'Mie of the lola Register reporting a jail break attempt on Oct 4 And Oct 6 editorial commented on the episode at the Allen County jail The storv said four men had tried to flop thp jail but were foiled by Sheriff I-orance and Jailer Alf Williams The story identified the four men allegedly involved in the attempt One of the four was Conderman's client On the following day the register earned a story quoting the sheriff that one of the men had admitted the attempt hut that the others including Conderman's client had denied it Arguing before Judge Spencer A Card yesterday the attorney said the news account seriously prejudiced his client's constitutional presumption of innocenee He contended that this was indirect contempt of rouit Conderman said his client was innocent of the escape try Fred Apt attorney countered that indirect eontempt must be based upon publication of facts or opinion pertaining to a suit before the court Neither the news article nor the editorial he declared made references to charges against Conderman's client or expressed opinion
