Should toda/s present world cnew be as prominent ip it wifl be high ly interesting to hear the General epeak Should another “Ike-for-Preektont' boom begin, aa it did shortly before the 1948 presidential campaign it will be even more interesting to listen to the former Chief of Staff Our congratulations go out to the Dia mond Jubilee Committee far obtaining Gen. Eisenhower May you have as much success in all your endeavors for making the 75th year truly a big one." The Kffwtivcne* of \our Vote W« have often wondered Which element of the 81st Congress was mort vitally con cerned with the welfare of the nation and democratic pnnctfdes than the other. Now we have s fair idea The House at Representatives Monday killed any holies of initiating, at least in this season, s pro{>oeed twenty-second amendment to the Constitution which would have abolished the Ekrtona! Col- lege The Senate had previously f4*iHxl the reeolution. only to see it meet a crushing House defeat, almost 2 to 1. Momentarily, at least. We have more faith in the Senate than in lt« brother law making body. Our present syatem of electing the president sad vice-|*resident has been vir tually unchang ed since its ineipieacy. Around IHOfl when the twelfth amend ment was passed by the states, there was good reason for the electoral system * One of the principal reason* for system was the lack mi “ United States shnply weren’t well enough informed to be able to vote wisely fqr the country’* foremost leader* That problem Uo many others which then faced our government, has been removed To Save Liies or to Saie Dollars? . . . Today the people of the nation are probably the meet well-informed group in the world concerning its political leaders Newspapers radios, and other mean* of oommumcatioa long ago heked the initial problem Monday’s House vote was largely back ed by Republicans, although added Demo cratic -support actually killed the biU. the I/odge-Goeaett proposal The latter is Ed Goeeett, Texas cuagrsasman from Wichita Falls. Republican House leader Joseph W Martin Jr of Massachusetts dauned that, under the proposed amendment, his party would never be able to elect a president Such a clear case of Washington baloaey we have not heard of in ages The people of the United States should be allowed to vote directly for president and ) vice-president True the election would become a Batirmal affair We ask you. Mr Martin Were you running for preeidrnt of the United States heaven forbid it if you would not ration do no# — baft you rather have the satisfaction of know ing that the majority of the nation's pop- ulus had backed you. or that enough of each state had done so to earn for you the majority of electoral ballots’ Korea m attracting a great deal of at tention. but there are other potential trouble s^ds which could be next on Ktts- aia a coiujueet list The oil rich Middle East, the Balkan countries, and the North Atlaetir area are m ne4d of immediate arms aid from the United State* In countries where it would be inadvisable to arm the native troope. a highly mobile A merman force should be available for immediate occupa tion. Presklent Truman has aksed 10 billion dollars to be used to halt the Reds. Rus sia has no national debt firoblrm since army supplies can be 'planned' along with other civilian goods From a geopol itical standpoint, we are also at a disad vantage m that Russia controls more land. man|MWver. and sources of raw matartals In view of these fact* every' effort should be made to Contain Communist aggression Senator Lmdon B Johnson a member of the Senate armed servica» committee, said in a recent radio address that the time has come to prepare for the worst and pray for the best.’* Senator Johnson has always held that preparedness was leas expensive than unprtparedness Democracy aa a system has many ad vantages. but admmietrativt- inertia, or the time required for decisive actum seems to be s more critical factor than ever be fore. Men who can reeeon with very little error are usually ignored or court mar tialed. and many American* must die in order to buy tuna for frantic preparation. Russia has shown conclusively that con flict is inevitable n view of the aggres sive policies of the present dictatorial re gime We as a nation can neither remain complacent, or chaag* the age-old pat tern of saving dollars and speeding lives. There is a very little uncertainty about our fnturs relations with So Viet Russia only one system can survive.
