Here There Everywhere
A Iittl slant on human nature is
provided,in an account sent up by
Murlin Spencer, AP Bureau head,
who went out to the ait port on the
arrival of AdJai Stevenson in Seat
tie recently, lie stated. “The inter
esting thing is to watch how the
political candidates m;l! around,
maneuver for position, and try to
get into a favored position so their
pictures will show with the pie^i
dential candidate.”
Spencer went on to say: A can
didate—or reporter, who Ins sen
sitive feelings should avoid such a
place. No quarter is given. As Jin.

There was more in thj same vein.
“After a couple of minute.; of this,
the politicos around Stevenson be
gan moving forward, then started
toward the side. 'Where are we go
ing?’ Stevenson asked, l'ney guided
him to a truck standing near the
piane where some woman had a
bottle ready to crack over the
hood. It was a Democratic truck of
some kind, but no speeches were
made so we didn't eaten the sig
nificance of it. On the first three
or four swings, the bottle failed
to break and someone suggested
she open it and let thecrowr, drink
it. But it finally broke and then
Stevenson was swung around and
headed towards a car.!’

Then this: “Some man with a
young boy about 8 or 3 pushed the
boy forward, he timidly toucluu

Had enough? We won't give you
any more of the sordid details, but
just hie conclusion . . . . “From
there on it was the same old deal
sirens shrieking, homo blowing,
people waving. An we’J.1 go through
exactly the same thing next week
when President Eisenhower ar
rives. It will be the vine old pray

Maybe we’re lucky after all we
can’t vote in Alaska in :h > Presi
dential elec’ion. Human nature be
ing what it is, here as well as else
where, there would be the same
juxtaposiuouing—the same small
time politician would manage to
shove the hardest as he often does.
This is a great American game,
amusing to be sure—the price we
pay for oar democratic way of ife.

The book reveals the thinking of
top scientists, acording to advance
reports. It says: “The airplane is
getting more and more like a mis

like an airplane, and the principal
difference will be whether you de

along on the trip.”
