Concerning your editorial on Republican foreign policy--I wish the CRIMSON would discard its mantle of petulant and partisan criticism of Republican policy. I'm sure it was a dreary day for the CRIMSON when funny-boy Stevenson was defeated by a popular here who did not have direct experience in politics. The CRIMSON seems unable to adjust to the fact that the Republicans are in office, and that the President has shown himself to be a sane and extremely able leader...
...school, was named Bonneville Power Administrator to succeed Dr. Paul J. Raver, who resigned. Although Pearl has never mixed in the Northwest's public v. private power squabbles, the choice raised charges from public powerites that he was hand-picked by private powermen. Pearl insists he has no partisan interest in public v. private power disputes, though he supports development of the Snake River's Hell's Canyon by multiple private dams instead of one public dam.

Although the presidency is supposed to be above politics, it was partisan politics that blocked a choice for so long...
...mane of tousled hair. Ever since he was elected Cleveland's mayor in 1941, Maverick Lausche has spurned "machine" support, winning elections despite organized Democratic opposition. He has heaped such florid oratorical praise on some G.O.P. leaders that they find it awkward later to criticize him in normal partisan fashion. In the 1950 senatorial campaign, Lausche said he "might" vote for Bob Taft instead of the Democratic candidate. By last year the governor had won such popularity as a conservative Democrat that, in defeating Charles P. Taft, the Senator's brother, he topped Adlai Stevenson's vote...
