PACE EIGHT ¢ . THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE MONDAY, - OCTOBER 4, 1948 One-Time Qeeoke A/C ERAN Henry A. By CLYDE BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer Washington--(CP)-- Three con- trasting personalities are in the Nov, 2 contest for vice-president of the United States. The victor will occupy a compa- ratively obscure place but will be just a heart-beat from the highest office in the land. These are the candidates for the office which has been vacant since 8S, Truman succeeded to the presidency when Franklin Roosevelt died April 12, 1945: Senator Alben William Barkley, 70-year-old political veteran born in a log cabin at Paducah, Ky., Nov. 24, 1877, Democratic wheelhorse and a member of every Congress since the 63rd in 1913. He is Prseident Truman's running-mate. Earl Warren, 57, handsome law- yer who has peen governor of Cali- fornia. since 1942 with support of both Republicans and Democrats. He is running with Governor Tho- mas E. Dewey of New York to whom he lost the Republican nomination for president at the Philadelphia convention last June, Senator Glen H. Taylor, 4, native of Portland, Ore, and Democratic senator from Idaho"since 1944, one- time singing cowboy and travelling minstrel. He is the running-mate of Henry Wallace, founder and pre- sidential candidate of the Progres- sive party. Mule-Back Campaign Barkley, heavy.set but youth- ful for his years, worked his way through school and college to become a lawyer and entered poli- tics in 1905, conducting his first campaign--as candidate for prose- cuting attorney -- on mule back through the Kentucky Hills, He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1913 and held his seat until 1927 when he was elected to the Senate. He has re- mained solidly entrenched there ever since, Barkley was majority Senate lead- er through the Roosevelt regime | and up tothe Republican Congress- | jonal vict®dy in 1946. Then he be- came minority leader. He: was "dear Alben" to Roosevelt through the tough "New Deal" per-| testants, cumstances and had to work for his living since he was 12. He started out as a sheep herder. His father was through the West, and the children were musical After trying his hand at many range jobs, young Taylor | organized theatrical groups and tra- | velled through the West as a sing- | ing cowboy.

He resigned as majority leader but was quickly reinstated and soon made his Roosevelt, peace with Barkley is a deep-chested man with a powerful voice and eloquent tongue--an impressive old-style or- ator. He likes to tell stories and wil] sing "My Old Kentucky Home" or "Wagon Wheels" without too much persuasion, or play the moutQ organ. He is a widower with three chlidren, drives his own car, entertains often and lives moderately ately. and temper- Self-Made Man Governor Warren is a giant of Scandinavian descent, a jovial mix. er and pal of many California mo- vie people. He is a trained orator and a man who, since early 1944, has been looked upon as "presiden- tial timber." He was born in humble circum- stances in Los Angeles and is very much a "self-made man" who was admitted to the California bar 1914. He practised law and held var- ious - political posts from city at. torney of Oakland up to district at- torney for Alameda county. mn Warren has been married since 1925 and has six handsome child- ren, tree sons and three daughters, Glen Taylor, like his fellow-con- was born in humble cir- a preacher who- travelled During the Second Tayler joined forces with Wallace when the latter started organizing | his third party and was Wallace's choice as running mate.

An army auth- ority said there were so many cas- ualties that trucks probably would be used to augment ambulances in carrying them away, The government of President Jose Luis Bustamente Rivero said in a communique it had confirmed that the opposition Aprista Party had "inspired and directed" the revolt. The communique said many armed civilians affiliated with Aprista were arrested. "Cmdr. Enrique Aquila . Pardo, who is well known because of his Aprista leanings, headed the rebel- lion aboard some warships," the communique said. The rebel's first strike occurred about 3 a.m., Police Col.

"Forst, however, we: feel that concrete results should be achiev- ed by the original five members," he said. "The Union should be con- solidated now before any new mem- bers are brought in. "Later, Western Union might form the nucleus of a federation or | confederation of Europe just as | the Benelux Union (Belgium, Neth- erlands, Luxembourg) has heen the nucleus for Western Union," he added. He saw no incompatibility in a country being a member of the Uni. on and of a Commonwealth over- seas, but felt that certain Unions decisions might have to be delayed for consultations with overseas partners -- decisions on federation for instance. ages but Captain Collier strongly opposes suggestions that New Zea- land should hand the vessel back to her former Finnish owners. The barque and her keen young New Zealand crew, he maintains, are as fine a publicity agent as the Dominion could possibly have. Wierever she goes thousands of people flock to admire her. On her voyages to Australia, the United States and Britain she has been a centre of attraction.

"The British people, impress- | ed with the ability to foreigners to handle sailing ships, have been | taught to expect that it is beyond | the capabilities of their own na- tionals to do such work," he declar- | ed. "When some Trinity House pil- | its were waiting in their cutter for ed the language that would be spok- en on the ship. They did not appre. ciate that there were still British people capable of doing what others were doing, and usually doing it a little bit better." It has now proved that New Zea- land seamen, as seamen and as in- dividuals ashore, were the equal of any, he added. Their good home life and background stood them well. "At no moment in the whole round voyage has an order not been exe- cuted with alacrity, cheerfulness and ability," he said. "Never in my two years with the ship have I had to admonisly a lad. They are an aver- age cross-section of the product of our New Zealand schools." Captain Collier thinks that if the | Pamir were returned to the Finns she might pass to Russia as have other sailing ships since the war. 'When most of the crew left the vesse] at the end of the voyage, mostly to attend the School of Na- vigation, there were over 50 applica- tions to fill the nine vacancies. Many were able seamen who signed off steamships to be able to apply and others lads at high school anx. ious to fill the four vacancies as seamen-boys.
