|soIationist Revival
Faces First Poll Test
In Nebraska tuesday
ButIer-GriswoId Race
For Senute RevoIves
Around Foreign Policy
By Gould Lincoln
Stur Stoff Corrssnondent

LINCOLN, Nebr., June 6.-The
first test, at the polls, of the al
legged revival of the old isola-
zionist spirit of the 1920s and
1930s in this Middle West country
is to be made in Nebraska next
Tuesday.
1t will come in the contest for a
Republican senatorial nomination
between Gov. Dwight Griswold and
Senator Hugh Butler, the incum-
bent.
Gov. Griswold has been indorsed
by former Gov. Harold E. Stassen of
Minnesota, leading exponent of
international collaboration who
helped write the United Nations
Charter as a member of the Amer
lean delegation at the San Fran
cisco meeting last year.
Senator Butler on the other hand
has been indorsed-without his
prior knowledge or acceptance-by
Gerald L. K. Smiths America First
party, a party of isolation.
Stands on British Loan.
Gov. Griswold has himself in
dorsed the proposed United States
loan to Britain; Senator Butler is
opposed to it. The Butler campaign
managers have placed advertise
ments in the German Language
newspapers calling attention to Gov.
GrisWold's support of this loan and
Senator Buffers denunciation of 1t.
Senator Butler voted for the United
Nations Charter when it was de-
fore the Senate for ratification, but
he took the isolationist position in
other votes in the Senate before
this country entered the war.
But the greatest demonstration
that this primary election is being
waged largely around the isolation
ist issue is found in the reported
fact that Senator Butler is getting
the support of a very considerable
majority of the German-American
voters-the largest single bloc of
voters in the state. These voters
OF German descent were loyal dur
ing the last war, and many of them
hated Hitler and all he stood for
The end of the war, however, has
in a measure revived the old feel
ing which they showed after the
first World War when they helped
to sink the Democratic party in
Nebraska. They followed the late
Senator Norris into the Democratic
party again in 1882, when they
voted for Franklin D. Roosevelt,
and again in 1886. But they swung
away from Roosevelt in 1910 when
the old issue of internationalism
versus isolationism revived. And
they have remained in the Republi-
can party since then.
A Griswold victory here next
Tuesday would be hailed as a VIC
tory for international collabora-
ton; Butler victory, the reverse.
Other Angles in Campaign.
There are other angles in this
senatorial campaign which will have
their effect, too. Senator Butler is
seeking a second term. He is highly
regarded and has many friends. He
has the backing of many of the old
line Republicans, organization lead
ers. A successful businessman him
self, he has the backing of many
others. He has continued during the
six years he has been in Office to
keep his political fences in repair.
He has done many errands for many

MFE Attacks Elements

Action Apparently Aimed

5|um, Hospital Bills
Delayed Month by
House Committee
Quick Action Promised
On Two D. 6. Measures
At Meeting July 6
By Don S. Worren

BoWing to the demands of the
McGehee Judiciary Subcommit-
tee the House District Commit
tee today agreed to another
months postponement of action
on the already long-delayed
slum redevelopment and hos
pital center bills.
However, pledges were given by
factions in the District Committee
that quick action would be taken
when many members return early
| next month from trips to their home
States, where they are carrying on
reelection campaigns.
This promise was nailed down by
an agreement scheduling a special
meeting of the full committee for
July 6 to report out a bill on the
proposed $20000,000 10-year slum
redevelopment program and on the
measure proposing Federal aid in
the development of a modern hos
pital and medical research center.
At the same time, the Chapman
Subcommittee Of the House Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee today postponed reporting
the controversial Potomac Bridge
bill until after it makes another
tour of the site Tuesday.
Action Is Promised.
Chairman Chapman promised
again. however, that the bill will be
reported to the House in time for
action at this session.
The tour Tuesday will be the Sec
ond made by the committee to help
1t decide whether twin bridges or a
single bridge should be built to re-
place the Highway Bridge.
Months of time consuming con-
troversies have passed in which rival
Government factions have clashed
over whether the new road cross
ing should be a six-lane two-way
bridge or whether it should take the
form of twin one-way spans of four
lanes each.
Chairman Mcmillan said his COM
mittee agreed to delay the slum and
hospital bills until July so that
both could be called up in the House
for action at its District day ses-
sion on July 8.
Months Delay Is Urged.
The decisions were taken in a
tense session at which the full COM
mittee was confronted by a notice
from the McGehee subcommittee
urging that no action be taken for
month on the slum bill which the
McGehee group had reported last
week.
Representative McGehee, Demo-
crat of Mississippi, Judiciary SUBJ
committee chairman, had insisted on
delay because he and other subcom-
mittee members would be out of
town next week. He feared changes
might be made in the bill on the
House floor in the absences of sup
porters of the McGehee version of
the bill.
Principal bone of contention is
the definition of public low-rent
housing, which viii measure the ex-
tent to which such dwellings may
be constructed by the National Capt.
tai Housing Authority instead of by
private enterprise.
