GOLDFISH BOILED
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., !«—
Police Officer Jim Lansford is in
hot water at home—he accident
ally boiled the family goldfish.
To supplement his pay as a
desk sergeant, Lansford delivers
papers. He rose as usual at 4:30
a.m. Monday to go out on his
route.
It was chilly. He lighted the gas
heater to warm the house for his
wife and daughters Donna, 5, and
Carol, 2V4. In the dark the sleepy
sergeant didn't notice the goldfish
bowl had been placed atop the
heater to ward off the night chill.
When he returned two hours
later the water was boiling mer
rily.
The fish were done.

Stevenson Had Some Cards Stacked
Against Him From Start of Campaign
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Pass News Analyst
WASHINGTON, IR—Adlai Ste
venson had some cards stacked
against him from the start. But he
didn’t make the most of the cards
he held.
Former President Truman said
at the Democratic convention last
August that Stevenson was no
fighter. This was not quite correct.
Stevenson fought as hard as he
knew how. History may say the
trouble was he really didn’t know
how.
A Personal Defeat
This was a personal defeat for
Stevenson, not for the Democratic
Party. He ran behind the party as
the close contest between Demo
crats and Republicans for control
of Congress showed.
Perhaps another man, better
able to get his ideas across, might
have done better than Stevenson.
Perhaps not.
Because of the peace and pros
perity under President Eisenhow
er, the country felt no need for
change. Stevenson's job was to
show a change was needed. He
didn't get that across to the voters.
Basically Same Views
One reason: because people
were content, the Issues were thin.
But they were thin for another
reason, too: Stevenson and Eisen
hower basically have the same
views on domestic and foreign
problems and their solutions.
This meant Stevenson had to
strain to point up any differences
between him and Eisenhower. The
strain showed. At times he seemed
to be floundering around to find
an issue. For example: his pro
posals toward ending the draft
and H-bomb tests.
Stevenson, even tho he had
been thru the 1952 campaign,
never learned how to get his
ideas across. Most of the time he
talked in generalities. But when
he criticized the popular Eisen
hower’s performance, he needed,
to be convincing, to back up his
charges with facts and figures.
He had a tendency to ignore them.
Reaching the Reader
He failed also to understand the
elementary task of reaching the
most people with what he said:
thru the newspapers. He worked
over his speeches, polishing them,
until just before delivering them
to perhaps an audience of thou
sands.
This meant he got his speeches
into the hands of reporters late—
altho the papers reach millions
in every town and city.
Newsmen who accompanied him
said he was forever toning down
the speeches prepared for him by
his speechwriters. It’s no wonder
they lacked fire. More than that,
he had a knack for approaching
problems obliquely instead of
head-on.
The Oblique Approach
For example: he said he would
not make Eisenhower’s health an
issue. But when he did, he could
n’t seem to bring himself to talk
of it forthrightly; he kept refer
ring to it by asking if Vice Presi
dent Nixon would make a good
President.
Stevenson was credited by some
people with having a literary
style. He seemed to think so, since
he worked over his phrases so
much. But Truman had a better
style, political and literary; he
was more vivid and understand
able.
In the old days, warship’s in
teriors were red so that blood
wouldn’t show.
