Presidential Button, Button
Button, button, who's going to be the next
president of the United States?
That seems to be the little game that is cur
rently going on nationally. Thursday morning'!
Star carried two stories and an editorial which
.discussed interesting factors in the national pic
ture. One of the stories concerned a poll made
at the Associated Press Managing Editors associ
ation meeting. The concensus of r pinion at the
San Francisco meeting seemed to be:
1. President Truman will win the demo
cratic nomination again next year.
I. If General Eisenhower was nominated by
either party, he could defeat either Truman
or Tart.
8. Senator Taft will probably win the re
publican nomination.
A second item carried the news that Harold
. Stassen may make a second try for the presi-

Senator Taft's now-It-is, now-it-isn't record
on congressional irsues is confusing to the average
person. He has linked himself too much with the
extreme right wing of the republican party to be
popular with many more liberal and independent
voters. His record has smatterings of liberalism,
which is even more confusing. It is extremely
doubtful that he could win the presidency, despite
his assertions, althoug". his 1950 senate showing
cannot be ignored.

Stassen as saying that he had a "high regard" for
Sen. oJe McCarthy and his "campaign" to oust

Star Editor James E. Lawrence questioned
Senator Taft's statement that any republican could
win the presidency next year. He also pointed out
that neither party has a monopoly on graft and
Corruption, despite vigorous claims to the contrary
from members of both parties.
Right now, the concensus of opinion seems
to be that Truman and Taft will be the demo
crtic jyid republican nominees, respectively.
I took an informal poll of some 20 to 25 stu
dents of my acquaintance before writing this
editorial, and by and large, the answers showed
two- things:

would be a better president that Taft.
X. Most students think that Truman is go
ing to be re-elected.
as a whole seems to be fed up with dawdling
investigation -happy congress and with the evi
dences of corruption in the administration. Sen
ator Taft has identified himself with congress and
Truman with the corruption.
Eisenhower, whose political creeds are some
what of a mystery, appeals to many people as
a brilliant and honest soldier, with a good ad
ministrative record. His reputation is made, and
he wonld have everything to lose, including his
reputation, as president. However, indications
are that he is willing to take that risk. At the
moment, he seems a good risk.

Shoes or the variations thereof
have played a part in entertain
ment from the ancient days of
storytelling right down to the
technicolor present. The Esquire
theater, formerly the Husker
theater has been redecorated and
has now re-opened with the
picture, "The Red Shoes."
Taken from an immortal tale
of the same name by Hans
Christian Anderson, "The Red
Shoes" tells the story of a girl
who wished for and received a
pair of marie dancing shoes,
only to find grief through them.
The story Is developed In the
dramatic plot' of "The Red
Shoes," and also In the first
ballet ever presented in its
entirety in a full-length feature
film.
Produced by Michael Powell
and Emoric Pressburger for J.
Arthur Rank, "The Red Shoes"
stars Moira Shearer, Anton Wal
brook and Marius Goring.
The life of one of the most
world-popular athletes of all time
has been put on film at the Var
sity theatre "Jim Thorpe, All
American." Burt Lancaster stars.
Between the time Thorpe was
called the King of Sweden, and
the time recently when the com
bined sports-writers of America
voted him "the greatest athlete
of the first half of the 20th
century," Thorpe's life had many
up and downs.
Raised on a small western ranch.
Indian lad Jim Thorpe would
rather have run ten miles than
go to school any day. Yet his
father insisted, and one day young
Jim showed up at Carlisle Indian
school.
He soon became a track star
under Coach "Pop Warner, but
when he wanted to impress. the
girl he later was to marry, played
in the film by Phyliss Thaxter. he
went out lor the sport football
Denied a coaching job, he
entered the Olympics and drove
himself to great victory, but
hard luck pursed him and
Thorpe for years after that,
though he played major league
baseball and professional foot
ball, gradually hit the skids. It
was "Pop" Warner who brought
him back, and one day when a
group of youngsters in a sand
lot asked an onlooing truck
driver to become their coach,
Jim Thorpe knew he'd found
his life's work at last,

Cat-aclysmic isn't the cleverest
word ever used to describe a
movie but it pretty accurately
fits "Rhubarb," showing at the
Stuart theater.
Rhubarb's an herb, a brawl, a
color, a shrub and who knows
what else? But right now it's a
cat. or the tale of a cat The movie
stars Ray Milland and Jan Sterling.
It begins with the premise that
an alley cat should inherit $30
million because' it is a good
scrapper. Complications ensue.
"Rhubarb" will probably never
win an a-cat-emy award but it
is a slick, sly movie with an abun
dance of stimulating humor.
"A Millionaire for ,Chrtety
has now started at the Lincoln
theater. This is a rollicking
story of a secretary with a yen
for a rich husband, and a play
