We Welcome Election Of Chancellor Cherry Barring a political upheaval of unforeseen proportions, Chancellor Francis Cherry is Arkansas' new governor, a situation which we regard as highly satisfactory. Since he was virtually a political unknown and offered the people of Arkansas nothing but "honost government," it is not easy to attempt any detailed analysis of the man. It is more pertinent, we feel, to welcome him for what he represents.

Judge Cherry represents Arkansans' attitudes toward long-term candidates, even in this one-party state. He reflects the voters' weariness of politics at its tireri level of conventionality, personality attacks, mud-slinging and machines. He represents a desire for change, nnrl change of this kind is always sought for the better. His victory repudiates for the second time this month in this area Harry Truman's value and talent as a picker of winners. His nomination shows that Arkansans are tired of being wooed by promises and roads and platforms that slip from the scene after election day.

Judge Cherry represents the politically peculiar fact that Arkansans would rather have simple honesty in a governor than any amount political wisdom or high-sounding testimonials. Arkansans also proved they are less and less vulnerable to the mere sound and fury of campaigning. The "give-em- hen" technique that won for Truman in 1918 fizzled for Mrilath in 1052. He erred in attempting to build a Florida gangster out of a Florida press agent who thought up and peddled his "talk- athon" idea in two other states as well as Arkansas. He erred in trying to link Judge Cherry to the current divorce investigation, which is actually hoing conducted on an entirely different level.

McMath relied conventional politics, the "filMhe-air-wHh-noise" type. Judge Cherry iook on nil questions and when he didn't know the answer, he said so. He made no promises aside from matters of principle. He eschewed political obligations. His nomination by the voters of Arkansas represents as much the selection of a set of principles as it does the election of a man.

Stevenson Told Only Others' Opinions of Hiss Every once in while there arises a situation which can best be answered only by referring hack to the record, trite as that expression often seems to be. Such a situation relationship BLTTH8VILL1 (ARK.) COURIER that existed between Gov. Adlal Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee, and Alger It because of the probability that the matter will be revived in the campaignin.K between now and the November elections. As pointed out by Peter Edson, NEA columnist, last April, the issue hinges on testimony Stevenson jjave in the form of a deposition at Hiss' trial for perjury in New York, June 22, 19-10. The deposition, mnde at the'requesfc of Hiss' lawyers, was read to the court; long have you known Mr.

Alger Hiss, the defendant? June or July, 1933. Wo served together in the legal division of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration in Washington in 1933. Our contact was frequent but not close at daily. I had no further contact with him until I met him again in the State Department when I went to work there in 1915. I met him mostly in intradepartmental meetings Governor Stevenson then traced his acquaintance with Hiss, explaining how he came in contact with him, once at the San Francisco United Nations Chartor conference, during preparation of Ihe charter presentation for the U.

S. Senate, again at the first UN General Assembly meeting in London in 19-16, and at the UN General Assembly meeting in New York in 1947. The deposition then resumed: you known other persons who have known Mr. Aljjer Hiss? Ihe speech of those persons, can you state what the reputation of Alger Hiss is for integrity, loyalty and veracity? whether his reputation for integrity is good or bad. whether his reputation for loyalty is good or bad.

whether his reputation for veracity is good or bad. An imuortHnj, point here is that Stevenson was telling the court what other people who knew Hiss thought of his reputation. He was not giving his own opinion of Hiss. Stevenson continued in cross questioning by the government prosecutor to testify he had never been a guest in the Hiss home, had never heard that Hiss took secret documents from the State Department files, never knew that Hiss was a Communist or a Communist sympathizer. Later, on a television show, Stevenson explained why tie' had given the deposition.

He said it was because as a lawyer he believed it was everyone's duly tp give testimony willingly and honestly whenever asked. "The ultimate timidity," he said, "would be not to testify." In any future controversy on this subject, Stevenson's sworn testimony should be recalled. V'iews of Others iouth Is Being Courted One of the most important events al the Democratic National Convention was the re- emergeiice of the South ns a strong force in parly politics for the first time since 1936, This re-emergeiiOE was made possible In part by Ihe strong candidacy of Senator Richard Russell of Georeia. It was made possible also by Virginia's leadership the fight Against accepting a loyalty pledge th.it hurt brc-ome symbol a radical faction's di-sive to make the South knuckle under or get out. When the showdown came, the wiser heads ot the party showed that they realized they needed the Smth.

One ot the iirpn- ments that helped Co put Stevenson over was his second-choice ncreptRbillty to our region. Except for the importance ot holding the South within the party, the Administration machine might not have chosen to nominate a man critical of its own spendthrift policies. Senator Sparkman. of Alabama, was placed on the ticket to apyeate Senator Russell's followers. The South is thus once aRain a force to be reckoned with within the Democratic Party.

Not only that, the South is aKo receiving special consideration from the Republicans. One of the arguments (hat helped to put Bfsrnhower over in the convention was the contention that, more than any other Republican, he would be acceptable to the South. The South Is being wooed again, and may en- Joy the luxury ot "playing hard to get" for awhile. (Va.i star SO THEY SAY Give me any song, bad or good. It doesn't matter, and I'll make It a hit.

government experts and engineers from American private industry are working constantly to revise the list of strategic Items they would keep from the Soviet. But the ban is not complete. If this were n'hot war, the compiling of a list of articles banned for trade would be easy. It would include everything. Thb was the 61 non Communist countries to reter Edson chokc off rn bloc's! tum var-maUng potential.

there Is no desire to cut off nl When the first of these lists ot I (ra de with tho Communist coun strategic materials was drawn up trles Some trade between East 1949, It contained only nrif rt r.i implements rule applied by the U. 6. Board of Economic Warfare in the war iiKainsl Germany and Japan. And there was no regard for costs. But in this present cold war.

These lists are made public by main headings.

pean recovery. Italy, for instance, must have wheat nncl to live. And Gome- hnw she must earn the money to buy wheat and coal. So she is allowed to sell citrus fruits to the Soviet. Not all machinery Is banned for shipment to the Soviet either.

Drilling machines (hat will bore up to three holes simultaneously are allowed through. When it gets to lour holes and above, however, that's consltitu-ed precision machinery arid Is banned. Shipments of goods from European countries to Soviet bloc countries, made in accordance with trfide agreements in effect before the embargoes on strategic materials were put into effect, also have to be allowed to go through. That was the rule that had to be applied in the case of the Danish tanker recently delivered to the Soviet Uninn. It had been ordered in IS n.

before the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was sot up. Money had been paid by While the u. s. tried to persuade the Danish government not to make delivery, the Danea felt they had to live -up to their contract. The only alternative might have been for the U.

S. to buy the tanker, and it didn't particularly want it. So the Danes made delivery and President Truman ruled that Denmark should not be barred from receiving further O. S. aid, as provided for in the Battle act.

Often the determining factor for ihe United States in trying to break up trade between a European country and the Soviet has been whether it should have tho American taxpayers provide the commodities which the western European countries would be deprived of In exchange. For instance, western Europe has been getting about 25 million tons of coal a year from the U.S., nine million tons from Poland. If these western European countries should refuse to sell their products to Poland, they might be unable to earn enough money to buy that much more cor.l from the V. S. The alternative would be to have the U.

s. make up this coal deficiency for free. So which becomes more off trade in strategic materials to the Iron Curtain coun- tirts, or saving the U. 8. taxpayers some money? Over the long haul, Isn't such a tremendous amount of trade between East and West that has to be blocked.

Estimates put the figure at less than a billion dollars year. But it's a tremendously Important billion dollars worth. When the Russians called their Moscow trade conference last year, they had a reason. The allied strategic list. i )nnnc(t cx ports to Russia was having its effect.

East signalled enthusiastically with he queen of diamonds, knowing that his partner would read this as a signal, but that South consider it an unblock.

Declarer began immediately on the clubs by leading (lie queen from dummy. East covered with the king, and South won with the ace. South next entered dummy with a spade (o finesse the nine of clubs, after which he cashed the Jack. When the ten of clubs failed to drop, declarer led a fourth round of clubs to give East his trick. East promptly returned the seven of diamonds, trying to preserve the impression that West had the long diamonds.

South won with the. king of diamonds and cashed his last club. At this point he was sure of his contract with four clubs, two diamonds, one heart, two spades. Having lost only one trick, South hoped to make an extra trick or two. He was sure that West had all the rest of the nnrt that East had started with only the otiecn and the seven.

South therefore finessed dummy's ten of spades nt the next trick. East naturally won with the jack of spp.Ues, and set the contract by taking three diamond tricks. South Is still explaining how he happened to lose this hand.
