For Government agency to say
that as a condition of continued en-

is to deprive a citizen of his liberty
of action and freedom of contract.

ly friends Of the New Deal ad-
ministration-so closely that the
administrationists have bitterly
resented the activities of Mr..
Dies and his committee. Mr.. Dies,
however, has gone right ahead
and has done a good job for the
country, awakening it to what
has been going on.
Rated as Clever.
The Senator-elect from Texas,
Mr.. O'Daniel-unless his right to
the seat Is lost in canvass of
the vote a couple of weeks hence
is a supersalesman. He began
by selling flour in a big way-and
with new methods, including hill
billy music and musicians. He
sold himself to the people for
Governor in two elections, And
now he has taken over the SEN
atorship, presumably. He has
been a good Governor, although
he has no great achievements to
list. He is coming to Washington
to new field, where hillbilly
music is no particular novelty.
He is rated clever and if he keeps
his feet on the ground he will, it
is predicted, make good Sem
ator. Already he has promised to
take to the radio at least once a
week to keep his constituents in
Texas informed.
In Mississippi, Gov. Paul john
son has appointed 36-year-old
lawyer and planter, James Oliver
Eastland, to fill the Pat Harrison
Senate seat temporarily, and yes
terday called a special election
for September % to decide on a
successor to Senator Harrison.
Already the lines are Tightening
for the fight which, is to come.
The Governor has said he him.
self will not run, and Senator
Eastland, who has been sworn in,
has said he did not expect to
make the race. Four other men,
however, have been straining at
the leash. Representative Wall
Doxey was the first to make for
NAL announcement of his cam
didacy-he put out a statement
yesterday. Representative Ross
Collins, without issuing state
ment, declared his intention of
running. Representative William
M. Wilmington also is expected
to get into the race and probably
former Gov. Mike Conner, now
arbiter in athletics for the COL
leges and universities of the
South.
Bilbo May Favor Doxey.
Senator Bilbo, at one time arch
enemy of Senator Harrison, but
who buried the hatchet with him
before he died, is believed to IA
vor Representative Doxey. While
it is improbable that an effort
will be made to continue a Har-
rison faction in the party, there
still exists a strong anti-Bilbo
faction in the State. But Sena-
tor Bilbo in the last few years
has proved too strong for them.

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Democratic politics and per-
sonal political ambitions have
been stirred deeply in three
Southern States in recent days
by the deaths of two of the Sem
ates most prominent members,
Senators Morris Sheppard OF
Texas and Pat Harrison of Mis-
sissippi, and the prospective res
ignation of Senator Jimmy
Byrnes of South Carolina, who
already has been confirmed by
the Senate as Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court. All three
of these men have been strong
figures in their own States, as
we'll as in the Senate. Selection
of their successors has brought
about a tremendous scramble for
preference,
The South is one-party sec
ton of the country-and that
party is the Democratic party.
Southern Senators-and many
Representatives-have been re-
turned again and again to Wash
ington. Senator Sheppard had
been a member of the Upper
House for % years at the time
of his death, and had served in
the House before he entered the
Senate. Senator Harrison. who
also had his start in the House,
was a member of the Senate for
% years. Senator Byrnes, who
now is to go to the more rari-
fed atmosphere of the Supreme
Court, has been in the Senate
for 10 years, and had IA years
in the House. He could have

nor who won last year, for ex-
ample.
Representative Collins is
veteran of the House, where he
has served with distinction. He
was a candidate for Senator in
1e3+when Senator Bilbo was
first elected. He has taken a
keen interest in the upbuilding
of the American Army and par
ticularly in the mechanization of
the armed forces.
No move will be made by Gov.
Maybank of South Carolina to
appoint successor to Senator
Byrnes until the Senator actually
resigns to take his new place en-
the bench. The Governor will
appoint and then call a special
election, which must be held
within 80 days. Already can

When, under the existing condi-

cially so since his successor in the

junior in rank.
Indeed, if we once conceive this
grand front, We can see great ad-
vantages from having in the Middle
East an officer like Sir Claude Au-

Russia succumbs-and that the
time is not far off when the Brit
ish Armies straddling the Suez
Canal will get their chance to
hit the Axis forces successfully.
Gen. Wavell is said to be less
optimistic than the War Council
in London. His job in India
which some people might con-
slider a promotion, will be mainly
to organize India's man power
and keep continuous feeding
line to the African theater of
operations.
For the time being a German
japanese attack against India
must be considered a far-off pos
sibility. Hence, outside the usual
precautionary measures to pre-
vent uprisings in India, there
will be no direct menace to that
section of the empire. even if
Russia collapses altogether.
Evening star., 1941-07-03

oboAS poAAAoD VA SNh"NNAA
Premier Churchill and the Brit
ish commander in chief.
Gen. Wavell Is a practical SOL
der. He does not believe in "po-
htical' military action" as some
members of the British cabinet
do. He was lukewarm to the
Balkan campaign, not because he
did not see the immense posi-
bilities of that war, but because
he did not think the Allies had
the necessary force to meet the
Germans.
Before the German attack in
the Balkans. reports from Lon
don for newspaper consumption
indicated 100000 Britishers were
ready to meet Hitler in Greece.
The fact is there never had been
more than $4,000 British and I'M
perial troops on that battle front.
The figures announced - unof-
ficially-at first represented the
force Wavell said was needed.
He is said to have informed the
government that with handful
of men-that is what he con-
sidered the 50,000-he was sure to
be defeated.
He proved to be right and that
went against him. He was equal
ly opposed to the Crete affair.
Also Opposed SaIum Attack.
Finally, in recent weeks, he was
ordered-against his better judg-
ment, it is said-to attack the
Italians at Salum. 1t was an
other political demonstration for
the morale" of the people back
home. Gen. Wavell attacked He
made short work of the Italians
with an offensive that included
some $50 tanks.
But the Germans were close
at hand. Lacking the necessary
anti-tank artillery, they put their
3-inch anti-aircraft artillery on
armored trucks and made mince-
meat out of the British tank
force. Wavell was compelled to
withdraw after having lost more
than half of his mechanical
force. The official communique
called this unfortunate adven-
ture a testing" operation.
When the attack against Syria
was decided, Gen. Wavell asked
London for at least another army
corps to wage real blitZ against
the poorly prepared French.
This was denied him because the
London government could not
spare the ships to transport such
a force. Hence, British success
has been limited, and though
Beirut probably will fall even
tually. there has been no impress
sive "blitz" and the operations
have been more costly than an
ticipated.
Chief Causes of Shift.
But the chief causes of the
shift are said to be two.
One is that Wavell demands a
unified general command. That
Evening star., 1941-07-03

bald Wavell brings to the high COM
mand in India not only his intimate
knowledge of the Middle East and
his invaluable experience in dealing
with half a dozen small wars at
once, but also his knowledge of
Russia.
At a moment when Anglo-RuSSian
cooperation may prove the chief
support of the imperial edifice, 1t
requires a considerable effort of the
imagination to suppose that the one
British general officer who really
knows the Russians and has demon
strated his ability to get on with
them is being put on the shelf by a
Prime Minister of Mr.. Churchill's
political and strategical foresight.
1t is rather to be anticipated that
the commander in chiefs quarters
in Simla are about to become the
center of reaching combinations
upon which the fate of many ancient
kingdoms may depend.

This Changing World
Friction With Politicians Believed
Responsible for Shifting Gen. WuveII

is he wants army, navy and air
operations placed under one sin
gle command - his own. Lon
don was not willing to subscribe
to this. The navy, army and
air force act Jointly, but indie
pendently. If the commander of
the land forces favors a certain
operation, he consults with the
naval commander who may or
may not agree. Gen. Wavell is
not in a position to give orders
to either admiral or air marshal.
The second cause is one Of fric-
ton between Wavell and the
government on the question of
major policy.
According TO reliable informa-
ton, Wavell believes that this is
going to be a long war, and until
the United States becomes an
active partner, the best strategy
is to avoid a knockout blow in
the Eastern Mediterranean.
WavelPs Thesis.
Wavell believes that as soon
as the Germans have completed
their campaign against the U.
S. S. r., they will turn once more
to the Eastern Mediterranean
The mobility of the German
Army and air force is greater
than that of the British. So is
the man power potential. Hence
Wavell believes it might be good
policy to put as many hundreds
of miles as possible between the
British and Axis forces.
He is said to be an advocate of
a British withdrawal from Egypt
and the Suez Canal to a line
extending roughly from Port Su-
dan on the Red Sea to Freeman
tie on the Atlantic coast. There
the British forces would be shell
tered from an Axis blitz and
would be able to organize them
selves properly. Then, with
American support-if that were
forthcoming. otherwise by con-
centrating all lease-lend arms
the army of Africa would begin
an offensive sometime next year.
Such a course would free the
British Mediterranean fleet for
more useful and less damaging
activities and would lay the
foundation for a more stable and
constructive strategy.
Cabinet Opposed Plan.
The British cabinet could not
indorse such plan because of
the loss of prestige it would en-
tail. London believes that the
the Germans are going to spend
most of their offensive power in

South to advance to the Senate
men who have done we'll in the

Upper House occur-as shown by
the careers of Senators Shep-
pard, Harrison and Byrnes.
Texas Upsets Tradition.
This tradition, however, has
been violated in the recent choice
of a new Senator from Texas,
unless a recount of the votes up
sets the result now announced.
Gov. w. Lee ODaniel nosed out
the Roosevelt supported Repre-
sentative Lyndon B. johnson by
about LOO votes. President
Roosevelt has not been particu-
larly successful in his attempts
to influence personally senatorial
races. The Democrats of Mary
land, South Carolina, Georgia
and several other States, where
the President undertook several
years ago to purge Senators he
did not like, resented this at
tempt to dictate to them, and
turned back the presidential
faVorltes, In a republic, this is
as it should be.
In the Texas senatorial election
last Saturday, the President did
all he could for his friend, Repre-
sentative Johnson-and he nearly
pulled him through. Mr.. johnson
has been an ardent New Dealer
and supporter of the Roosevelt
administration. The only salts
faction-it is a satisfaction, &C
cording to general behef-that
Mr.. Roosevelt can derive from
the election is that Representa-
tive Martin Dies, one of the four
principal contenders for the
Sheppard seat, was defeated.
The election of Mr.. Dies would
have been a bitter pill for the
administrationists. For it was
Mr.. Dies who has been a thorn
in the side of the New Deal left
wingers for years-with his in
vestigation of un-American &C
tivities as chairman of a special
committee of the House. He has
