Morse assails the conservative leadership of his own party as vigorously as he scores reaction in the Democratic party. I already have discussed Wallace and has third party split. There are those who think it of so little importance that It can be Ignored. Some now are predicting that before the election, Wallace will be granted some concession, some advantage, and will come out for Truman for president. I wouldnt go that far, but I have heard the prediction in more than one quarter. Republicans are supposed to welcome Wallace to the race, and to count on him to cut down the Democratic vote to something almost insignificant. Let me quote Senator Morse on that subject, as his words appeared in an article in the February issue of the Progressive magazine. Morse says that Wallace mustnt be taken too seriously, but that he mustnt be ignored either. He adds: Let my Republican party never forget that there are not enough Republicans to elect a Republican president, nor enough Democrats to elect a Democrat as president. Fortunately there are not enough to elect Wallace. Splits" cant be Ignored, it is tiue. They are important because there is always the possibility that the splitters might find another Teddy Roosevelt to lead them. That can't happen often, though, and meanwhile splits are fun to watch. fellow-travelle- Inside Info Exaggerated NEWS REVIEW A-- A-- There were six days of crisis in8- Czechoslovakia and then it was all wondered whether Austria, France over the Communists were in comand Italy might not be clamped plete control of that nation of 13 mil- soon in the Communist vise. lion population.

This fact is authenticated by historical data, meager in spots, but fact nevertheless. The bell has a recorded history that dates back for Centuries before founding of the Lebanon institution. The bell, which is located in the clock tower of the historic chapel building on the campus at McKendree, a Methodist institution, has been used almost hourly to summon students to class ever since the college was a mere stripling of 30 years But its sonorous voice was heard centuries before Columbus braved the Atlantic to discover America. The vibrant toll of the bell first was heard in Spain, where historians say it was cast in the eighth century. Later it was recast in Spain and brought to Florida sometime in the 16th century. There are many unfilled gaps in the story of the bells turbulent history. From Florida it found its way to the Southwest during the historical era when the West was the last frontier of the country. In the 1850s a roving band of Santa Fe traders found the old bell, dated as to its arrival in America, in a deserted Indian mission m New Mexico, For some reason the heavy instrument was brought to St. Louis, then the gateway city to the new country. Historians disagree as to whether or not the bell was recast or repaired in St. Louis. Anyway, the name, Saint Louis," is visible on the bell, as well as other symbols and insignia so corroded as to be almost undecipherable. Following its arrival in St. Louis, the bell was taken to Centralia, 111., in 1858, to be exhibited at the Illinois state fair. Here it was purchased for McKendree college by a Mr. Cobleigh, at that time president of the budding institution. The bell was taken to Lebanon and hoisted Into the bell tower of the new chapel then under construction. Since then, it has reposed in the dark belfiy of the tower above the building, where the outside world little realizes the romance of its long history. Just how the bell served during Its first century in America is unknown. McKendree college, founded in 1828, is conceded to be one of the oldest colleges in the Mississippi basin, and one of the buildings, known as "Old Main," Is said to be the oldest assembly hall west of the Alleghenies. Very few people have seen the bell at its resting place high m the clock tower of McKendrees chapel, for to reach It, a person must climb a series of ladders that lead upward to the darkened tower.
