California Need:1 (One) 'Favorite Son'
The road to the Presidency of the United States is a long one with many detours. Until recently, Gov. Earl Warren of California was one of those walking the road.
A recent United Press release which claimed to be quoting "politicians who can see around corners while keeping both ears to the ground" said that when Gov. Warren eases onto his bench in the Supreme Court, he won't get off it to run for President.
This seems like a pretty safe statement, because we aren't used to the idea of justices disrobing just to toss their hats in the ring. It has been known to happen, though. In 1916, Charles Evans Hughes, who was rather aloof, but at the same time was one of the greatest legal minds ever to serve the United States, tried it and lost.
So, if Gov. Warren has turned in his skate key and said he'll stick to justicing from here on out, the best thing to do would be to ask, "Who will the Republicans run for President in '56?"
That's a good question, but a better one is,
"Which Californian will be running?"
Gov. Warren has been California's Republican "favorite son" for some time. Right now, two contenders for that title, which indicates regional backing for a local boy who's going into national politics, are Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Senator William F. Knowland, Senate Republican leader.
These are two strong men. Whether or not they carry the united support of California at the next Republican convention, they will both be candidate material in their own right. However, the edge will naturally be with the "favorite son." California has gained political importance because of its climbing population and natural wealth. The state's "favorite son" has come to be assured of a pretty fair shot at the candidacy for the Presidency—if he wants it.
Assuming that the state will be able to decide between Veep Nixon and Sen. Knowland, one other good Republican prospect should be mentioned. He is the hardiest of all hardy perennials—Thomas E. Dewey,
governor of New York. His state is now tops in electoral votes, and California and Pennsylvania are running about the same for a tie for second highest.
When the Republicans convene, these three men will have to be reduced to two, and the two must inevitably shrink to one. President Eisenhower is pushing his second-in-command for the spot. Sen. Knowland was given quite a boost when the late Sen. Robert A. Taft picked him for the Republican leadership of the Senate. And Gov. Dewey, who isn't any slouch but is nevertheless an also-ran of a few years back, can at least say he's been through the mill before and knows what it's like.
We'll stick our neck out this far: If Gov. Warren keeps out of sight, the California nod should go to Vice President Nixon. Then it'll be between him and Gov. Dewey, and we wouldn't be surprised if the Republicans ran the Californian in'56.

Indo-China Seen As Next Target For Communists
Indo-china plays an important part in todays news because it is the site of the next possible large scale outbreak of Communist aggression.
Indo-china is strategically situated at an important crossroad of the world. Cam Ranh bay, one of the world's finest natural harbors, is about equidistant from Hong Kong, Manila and Singapore. Control of the country by hostile forces threatens the security of China, the Philippines, Siam, Malaya, the East Indies and, indirectly, Australia and India
Indo-china is composed of three autonomous states within the French Union—the Viet Nam (federated states of Tonkin, Annam and Cochin China) and the kingdom of Cambodia and Laos.
This rugged mountain country ha a tropical climate and high humidity The average temperature is 82 am the rainfall average is 78 inches.
Four-fifths of the population lives in the deltas of the Si and Red rivers, which cross the country.
The people are a mixed group with a large, strong Chinese element. The Annamese, related to the Chinese, are the largest group, and the Cambodians, a mixture of Arjans, Mongols, and Malays, are the second largest group.
Indo-china is potentially wealthy. Agriculture is the most important industry but a combination of resources which have not been fully exploited offer further development. Rice is the major crop, along with wheat and sugar cane, ten, coffee arrowroot, tobacco, coconuts, and betel nuts.
Teak and kapok are two important forest products that come from this country. Iron, manganese, phosphate, zinc, tin, tungsten, antimony and chromium, minerals vital to our national defense, make Indo-china an important country to the United States and her allies.
Transportation systems are extremely poor because of the mountainous terrain.
Manufacturing has developed very little, except in food processing, textile mills, and maintenance shops.
—Elizabeth Wohlgemuth
The music of the early Indian nowhere seems to be better preserved than in New Mexico where among the Pueblo, Navaho, and Apache Indians, it has been handed down from one generation to another from prehistoric times.
Petroleum companies produced and delivered a record of 136,532,-246 gallons of gasoline per day during 1952. This would be enough gasoline to drive an automobile for more than 376,122 years!
Short Ones
Parents day is always the occasion for many tiny tragedies. When folks come up for the day to see Sonny in his big shiny fraternity house, they feel like he's left them forever when they watch him eating his ice cream with a fork.
Aha! No sooner does our champion, Sen. Joseph McCarthy, go on vacation than thousands of people in Lawrence, Kans., turn out to cheer the actions of the Big Red team.
We always feel that America isn't in such bad shape after all when we watch a performance like the terrific one put on by that drunken sailor who led the Iowa State band and chatted with the Red Pepper at the game Saturday.
The rains finally return to the Lawrence area in time for the mud-slinging duel being carried on by the Daily Kansan and the Massachusetts Avenue Flag-Waver.
We hate to spoil a good thing for anybody, but just what did all those high school bandsmen use several hundred pounds of ice cubes for? They aren't even students here yet, and they go around acting like alums!
Someday maybe one of those beifey football players (you know, the ones that insist they play the game because of affection for good old KU) will really shock us all by standing up for the playing of the alma mater.

Student Hits Town SegregationPolicy
To the Editor...
Ken Coy, I read your editor in the Sept 29th Daily Kansan, so I was pleased to see that someone still has the interest of all KU students at heart.
it seems to me that with the University of Kansas making up the town of Lawrence, for it is a known fact that if KU would leave Lawrence there would be a virtual ghost town, the short-sighted people of this town could figure out that if the town was more on a "democratic" basis instead of its present "American" basis more students would be attracted to the campus, thus swelling the patronage of restaurants, theaters, etc.
The town's segregation has brought the name of KU down to many bad remarks. A lot of high school students (Negro) have been to the campus and have enjoyed it very much but as they stated that they would like to attend the University but since there is no place to go other than walking around campus they would go somewhere else.
I was really disheartened during the big week-end of the Kansas Relays. Some of the teams stayed in Kansas City where the Negro participants could stay with the team instead of bringing them on to Lawrence where they would have been divided. My biggest disappointment was in the case of the Drake university track team, Arnold Betton and Ray Eiland, two Negroes on the team, were not permitted to stay with the team at the Eldridge in downtown Lawrence. Betton was one of the athletes who made up the U.S. entry in the Olympics of 1952. Wasn't that a wonderful way for a representative of the U.S. Olympics teams to be treated, to say that you can't stay in my hotel with your friends, because you are inferior or that your color is not represented here? Would you blame Betton or Eiland for stating that it would please them very much if they didn't have to come to Lawrence again?
How do you think students feel when friends come to visit them and they take in a show only to have to sit in the balcony or in the back of the show.
I'm sure that KU will never get the high rating of a UCLA or a Michigan as long as these "American" practices are continued.
I hope your efforts and those of a (ew others will not go in vain.

ID Transfer Price Hike Irks Reader
Last Tuesday a resolution was passed at the first A.S.C. meeting raising the price on ID card transfers from 25 cents to one dollar. The Athletic department has successfully pushed this resolution through the All Student Council before the group had recovered from its long summer vacation.
H abo Kin
To the Editor;
The plan of transferable ID cards was set up last year by a group of students called the Athletic committee of the All Student Council. These students did all the planning and work that was involved.
It is the Athletic department's duty to inform the students the reason for this large increase in price. I cannot see the reason for this large increase of 300 per cent in price and believe the Athletic department has found a money-making scheme in which the students receive the bill. The original charge of 25 cents was to cover tax, as the seat was paid for by an activity card of a student
Would the Athletic department please answer these questions involving the increase in transferable 10 cards:
1. ) Are there enough seats every game for all the students, faculty, and wives that hold tickets in the student section?
2. ) What fund is receiving this extra 75 cents?
3. ) Why should we, as KU students have to pay this additional seventy-five cents per high school senior in persuading that senior to attend the University next fall?
4. ) What extra work was brought about by this plan?
