... University Daily Kansan Monday.March 10,1952 Editorials First Presidential Primary Is Tomorrow Tomorrow the voters of New Hampshire will go to the polls in the first of the nation's primary elections. The results of this election could reflect the attitude of the American public toward the presidential candidates in November. The names of Robert Taft, Dwight Eisenhower, Harold Stassen, Douglas MacArthur, Estes Kefauver, Harry Truman, James Farley, and Adlai Stevenson will appear on the ballots in New Hampshire. The method of selecting these men or delegates favoring them is somewhat unusual. The state actually has two primaries, and a voter may vote in each one, or either one, all on the same ballot. One kind is a presidential-preference primary, in which the voter selects a candidate by popular vote. The citizen does not need to choose any of the names on the list, but may write in a candidate if he wishes to. The other primary involves the choice of 14 delegates to the Republican National convention and 12 to the Democratic convention. This is the voting most significant to the politicians, but it lacks the glamour of the popularity poll. Taft, Eisenhower, and Stassen will be listed in the popular voting for the Republicans, while Truman or Kefauver must be the choice for the Democrats. The primary for delegates to the convention lists as Republicans, Eisenhower, Taft, and MacArthur. The Democratic ballots will contain the names of Truman, Kefauver, Farley, and Stevenson. The over-all voting in the primary will favor the Republicans with a margin possibly as high as four to one, but this is little indication of actual feeling in the state. The late President Roosevelt carried New Hampshire in three campaigns in which Republicans heavily outvoted the Democrats. Senator Taft has been making steady gains in the state, but it is doubtful if he can catch the general. His largest support comes from the rural areas, and should weather conditions keep the people from the outlying areas away from the polls his support will be considerably less. Taft is making a tour of the state this week, and he should pick up popular votes from this trip. However, he has said that he will be content with as few as four delegates to the convention. The Democratic race offers a somewhat different situation. The party machine in the state can hand the entire convention delegation to Truman, but the sentiment of the average citizen is somewhat unpredictable and no one is certain just how the President will fare in the popular vote. Americans like to be on the band-wagon, and many people who are presently undecided about their presidential choice will jump at a chance to join a winner. —Jackie Jones.

Comments No Sympathy For Cadets A majority of West Point cadets would resign in protest if the 90 students discharged for cribbing were reinstated, a poll by the school's magazine indicated. According to the magazine, the ousted cadets are "honor code violators" who "can find no sympathy from the men they knew best." Let's Televise Congress,Mr. Speaker The ban on televised hearings in the House of Representatives by Speaker Sam Rayburn has brought forth a storm of protest. sons too are sent to the parents More than 12 cuts, says the administration, means an automatic "F." Joseph Martin (R.-Mass.) proposed that me House rules be changed so as to allow committee hearings to be televised. Mr. Rayburn had slapped the ban on the telecasting of hearings because "there is nothing in the House rules that permits it. One radio commentator accused Speaker Rayburn of living in the 19th century. He said the speaker should be glad to utilize advancements in communication to inform the public of goings-on in government rather than hamper progress. Ironically, at the time Mr. Rayburn had ordered a ban on televising of hearings on Communist activities in the United Auto Workers Union in Detroit, the investigation of the third Elizabeth, N.J., airplane crash was being telecast. When asked about the inconsistency, Mr. Rayburn ordered the Elizabeth telecasts stopped, saying the rules applied to all House committees and members. So steadfast was the speaker that he refused to have his picture taken by newsreel cameramen. A new ruling at the University of Syracuse will no doubt make students a bit more cautious about cutting classes. After the third cut, parents are notified. However, the student gets a chance to explain his reasons for cutting, and these rea- Some observers think the reason for the Rayburn ban on the Detroit hearings is that several prominent Democratic figures in Michigan would be involved in the investigations, and that that would put the party in an unfavorable light for the coming senatorial election. Whether or not this was Mr. Rayburn's reason for stopping the televising of House committee hearings, the question is why did he stop the hearings at that particular time? Why hadn't he stopped them before then? If it was all right for the few witnesses what was wrong with letting all the citizens of the country who possibly could see the hearings on television or see pictures of them on a newsreel at the theater? Wouldn't a first-hand account be more accurate than the account of a reporter, who in all honesty writes what the witness and congressmen said? Wouldn't the congressmen and witnesses alike want the public to know exactly what their position was? One drawback for the persons in the televised hearings is that the old alibi "I was misquoted" no longer could be used, because the people would have heard the speeches first-hand. 11 Class Cuts—You're Safe Luckily Mr. Rayburn had no authority over the Senate hearings, or the public might not have learned about organized crime in the big cities that was uncovered by the Kefauver committee. Since we have this great advancement in the field of communication, why don't we use it to have a better informed public? If television of congressional hearings will make the people more interested in government and get out a larger percentage of the eligible voters, then certainly the hearings should be televised. —Max Thompson.
