Premature Flight Plan

State Department disclosure of the
abandonment for the time being, at
least, of the Army Air Forces plan
for a mass flight around the world
of B-29 Super Fortresses lends sub
stance to previous reports that Un-
dersecretary Symington's announce
ment of the proposed flight was
premature and embarrassing to the
State Department. Although Mr..
Symington issued a press release on
the plan more than three weeks ago,
the formal request for State De-
partment approval did not arrive
until this week. In view of the
obvious international implications of
such a global demonstration by
planes of the type which dropped
atomic bombs on Japan and Bikini
Atoll, it is hard to understand why
any announcement regarding the
project was made in advance of
State Department consideration.
The War Department now reveals,
moreover, that the flight plan was
announced even before technical
problems had been solved. In fact,
the reason given at the War De-
partment for postponing the venture
is that it is necessary to work out
complete technical details. This will
require an indefinite" period.
yhe fact that the flight was an

according to Moscow's will, the sus-
picion will become deeper than ever
that the Soviet Union is determined
to create a vast sphere of exclusive
influence cutting Europe, and indeed
the world. in two.
The current meeting Of the For
eign Ministers Is therefore a crucial
one. Should it fail, the work of the
Paris Conference will be brought to
nought. Worse still, with the Ger
man and Austrian settlements thus
made even more difficult and remote,
there will be dangerous new strain
on every ones faith in the ability of
the United Nations to build lasting
peace. In the circumstances, the
world must hope for the best-must
hope that Mr.. Molotov has fresh in
structions to do a little yielding for
q change and meet his colleagues at
least halfway.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

and particularly sugar and meat and
soap. Indeed, veteran Democratic lead
ers in Washington say that Truman
has lost the support OF millions Of people
who hailed his entry into the White
House little over year ago. These
people blame him personally for the
failure of reconversion in an orderly
manner, for shortages and for high
prices.
Many conservative Democrats outside
for the Republican candidates. There
is no percentage, it Is contended in any
candidate for the Democratic presidential
nomination taking a conservative posi-
ton. That, 1t is believed. would be
suicidal In the next Democratic National
Convention The Democratic leaders
maintain that no conservative Demo-
cratic candidate will have q chance for
q presidential nomination two years
hence Anyway, they say, the Repub-
licans have the conservative following in
the country and it would be ridiculous
for the Democrats to try to be more con-
servative.
Like other Presidents, MIR. Truman will
have the tremendous advantage, II he
seeks denomination, Of being the head
of the executive department Of the Gov
ernment, with its myriad employees.
Federal patronage, which means the
power to hand out jobs, big and little,
usually makes it impossible for q sitting
President to be denied denomination. It
would appear, therefore, that the odds
favor the President in any struggle for
control of the party and of the Demo-
cratic convention when the time comes.
In the convention itself, the delegates
from the States of the South may turn
the trick for Mr.. Truman, If it comes
to a showdown Mr.. Wallace certainly
would be opposed by them, as he was in
1914 when he sought denomination to his
then office. The only instructions which
the Virginia delegates had before they
went to Chicago for the national con-
vention Of that year was to do all in
their power to defeat Wallace for renom-
ination as Vice President. The Southern
Democrats, who went along with Mr..
Roosevelt although they did not approve
many Of his domestic policies, will not,
according to their own leaders. ever
stand for Mr.. Wallace for a presidential
nomination-or for Senator Pepper for
such q nomination, either
Conservative Democrats feel they
would have no chance to nominate q
man like Senator George or Senator
Byrd Of Virginia for the presidency. AS
they see 1t, however, they still have
chance to pick between Mr.. Truman and
Mr.. Wallace, or Mr.. Truman and some
other left-wing candidate.
In the meantime, the movement of the
5 Democratic Party further toward the
left may be expected, with the Trumans
and Wallaces vying with each other for
radical support.
