NARROW Says Democrats Have Big
Problems If They Remain In Power

Washington, Nov. 8-(AP)-
The Republicans are in a sick
spot for party that wants to
make comeback.
But it isn't one-sided pic
ture. The Democrats could boot
away the advantage they have
now. They could do it in the
next four years.
Take a look at the Democrats
problems first, then at the Re-
publicans'.
The Democtats-
Now the President has a De-
mocratic Congress, which Is
what he asked for, to help him
carry out his campaign pro-
misses.
If those promises are not kept,
because his Democrats split up
or otherwise block him, the fed
up voters may call back the Re-
publicans TO take over Congress
in 1850 or the Presidency and
Congress in 1852.
Or President Truman, no mat
ter how we'll he and Congress
keep promises, might blunder in
other fields so important the
voters might turn to the Re y
publicans in 1850 or 1852.
And what Of third party in
1852, one that could capture
enough votes from the Demo-
Gratis to let the Republican
breeze in?
Henry Wallace's Progressive
Party got so badly beaten this
year that it doesn't look like a
threat, even if it stays alive.
But before this election, when
it seemed certain the Repub -
licans would win, some labor
leaders talked of creating a big
labor party to run in 1852. If
that happened. it might tear the
Democrats to pieces.
Now that Mr.. Truman has
won, such a party may not be
formed. But labor will decide
that as it watches events in the
next four years.
Then there's the problem of
the Southern Democrats. Their
States Rights Party captured
four states from Mr.. Truman
this year.
They formed that party be =
cause they were sore about the
Presidents civil rights program
for Southern Negroes. II Mr..
Truman now rams it through,
and embitters the South, no one
can tell what southern De-
mocrats will do four years from
now.
Anyway, any big split that
would walk off with otherwise
Democratic votes sould open the
door wide for the Republicans
return.
The Republicans
What are they going to do
about helping Mr. Truman-or
blocking ilim-in carrying out
the promises on which he was
elected?
Suppose the Republicans 70 n
long with Mr.. Truman. In the
eyes Of the voters would that

Russian Officials Have Withdrawn
From Washington's Activities

cipal victims Of this self imposed
boycott are the Russians
themselves.
Until it became obvious that
Moscow did not intend to keep
her wartime pledges or to coop
crate in world restoratio. Z the
Russian diplomatic family Was
treated like human beings. Be-
fore they withdrew diplomatic
children from public and private
schools, they were invited into
private homes a S a result of
these school contacts.
They obtained a fairly COM
plete picture of American poll
tics, society, industry and
thought from these associations
Sometimes an overzealous host
may have enlightened them on
what President Truman calls
"the facts of life" too well rather
than wisely.
INTERCHANGE: Government
officials furnished them statis-
tics on finance, trade, agricul-
ture etc. Army-Navy represen-
tatives became good friends of
their opposites, and the latter
were frequently given access to
"non-classified" data. In short.
there was mutually helpful in
terchange of information.
Now all these avenues are bar
ricaded. The Muscovites are on
the outside looking in.
Moreover, they are under
strict surveillance. Because of
their Canadian spy activities as
well as revelations that their a.
gents once used their influence
at Washington to try to obtain
our atomic secrets, every Rus
sian diplomat, Industrialist and
business man visiting the U. S.
A. is regarded as a persona non
grata. This may be news to
Ambassador Panyushkin.
BILLS: When and If they bor-
row books from the Congression-
al Library or any similar insti-
tuition. the appropriate officials
here are informed, and the par
ticular volumes are carefully
scanned for the light they may
throw on Communist curiosity.
When they subscribe to trade
papers or industrial house Or
gans, the fact is relayed imme-
diately to a certain intelligence
unit.
Although he may not know it,
Ambassador Panyushkin and his
diplomatic colony have about as
much privacy as the occupants
Of goldfish bowl in a ground
floor window on Broadway or
Washington's F Street.
And here is a tip for the op-
orators of "Voice of America:
If you want to drive a wedge
between the high-living mem
bers Of Stalin's offlcially(sfo fored
and his hungry subjects Vradio
to Russia and the satellite

ceries, meat and liquor at the

ticut Avenue.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-Th
"cold war" which congeals we/-
tern diplomats in their Paris
Moscow-Berlin negotiations with
Russia has its icy counterpart
at the nations Capital.
Stalin's steadily contract
ing family in the palatial Rus
sian Embassy on Sixteenth
Street, only dozen blocks from
the White House, has deliberate
ly withdrawn from normal asso-
citation with outsiders, who re-
ciprocate only too gladly.
Ambassador Papyshkin's is
olation would be pitiful, if it
were not that he seeks it him
self. Although he and his aides,
diplomatic, military, naval and
commercial, attend formal
fetes, they usually retire to a
corner Of the room and chat in
the Muscovite language among
themselves, or with representa-
tives of other Iron curtain"
countries.
LIST: This withdrawing act
became evenmore marked dur
ing the presidential campaign,
when the candidates of at least
four parties-Democratic, Re-
publican. Socialist and States
Rights-vied with one another in
denouncing the kremlin's policy
of expansion, aggression and ter
rorization.
The Embassy's social list
grows smaller constantly. When
an American official or foreign
diplomat voices public criticism
Of the Soviet, he or she is drop
ped from the official invitation
book.
When a newspaperman writes
adversely to Red interests, as
the writer knows from exper-
ience, his name is elided. If one
wants to eat caviar and stur-
geon at their amazingly elabor-
ate parties, or drink vodka, he
must first stomach Stalin's indi-
gestible utterance and activit-
les.
BEAR: The Russians have
"holed in" like a hibernating
bear in other respects. Their
supposed public relations repre-
sentative will not answer even
the most innocuous questions.
He will not estimate the num-
Der of Communist diplomats, Ar
my-Navy attaches, commercial
experts or private business men
accredited to or living in the
United States or any other coun-
try.
Ambassador Panyshkin's first
act on his arrival here several
months ago was to stop sending
ordinary press releases, the U.s.
SR Bulletin, copies of official
speeches and all other informa-
tion to Washington newspaper
correspondents. Although these
were usually lavish eulogies Of
Russia's reindustrialization and
modernization, they did present
some sort Of picture of postwar
Russia.
VICTIMS: Ironically, the prin-

Dosothy Thompson

When I left Minneapolis on
election evening, the tide was
running against Governor
Dewey; and when I arrived in
Sioux Falls, Iowa, on Wednes-
day morning, it was just in time
to catch the news that Dewey
had conceded the election to Tru-
man, and that the President had
swept in with him in Democra-
tic Congress.
I was surprised. If I ask
myself why. ! am afraid it was
because I respected the poll
sters and te experts" They
usually have been somewhere
near right. It now is unex-
planned how they could have
been so very, very wrong. In
this connection, 1t has been
thought that the polls themselves
influence voters. But If the polls
influenced voters in favor of
Governor Dewey. there is no
evidence of 1t.
Governor Dewey was not a
popular candidate, even--if the
atmospher at the Republican
Congress was any criterion
with his own Party. After his
nomination I was in the head
quarters Of one of the defeated
contenders. and my eye fell
upon an open telegram on his
desk signed by a prominent Re-
publican and saying, Well
Dewey will lose the election
again"
There was something less than
enthusiasm, therefore, among
many Republicans who perhaps
did not put their whole hearts
into the campaign Governor
Dewey inspires respect, dislike,
admiration, almost any kind Of
emotion but enthusiasm-except
from the devoted coterie closest
to him who either are devoted
or disappear.
He conducted his campaign on
a high levei--so high, as this
column remarked, that 1t reach-
ed a rarified, even frosty at
mosphere. Roosevelt, too, talk
ed as though he were a king,
but a gay one, with a sense Of
hurnor. Perhaps humor is what
the Governor most lacked in a
country where numor is ranked
as the major virtue.

1t should not be necessary,
in view of the abundant record,
to continue to pile facts on fact
proving that Justice Felix
Frankfurter's regard for certain
mercivent interests often i'm
polates his professed attachment
to the principles OF American
justice.
His papers may be searched
in vain for any fortnight de-
claration on this point, but forth
rightness is the least of his vir-
tues. Therefore, it is only by
sitting, as it were, and carefully
examining the more fetulant
alticae of his cloudy lucubrations
that one can clearly prove the
codersperl.
There is no better paper for
this purpose than Frankfur-
ter's notorius opinion for the
majority in the historic (cap A
and c. ablative case wherein
he had the effrontery to say:
''The term labor dispute amid
a rationable of morpulent am
briscence commonly adumbrates
an attempt to inmunize the i'm
mediate postulate. The purpose
of course, is to crennis on the
maulspave under the general
provisions of the logos in har-
monizing definition ultimately
partisbord."
Now the unthinking will, per-
haps, ignore the remiquity un-
derlying this sly and drencil doc
trine, but the patient student
of the invisible government will
bear in mind, first, the SEEM
ingly innocuous interpretation of
the (cap D and Al disappearing
act within an expanding milieu
bounded by the Anglo Saxon
ferbis; and second. the mitulous
interfection of an outmoded and
widely discredited milt. This
may seem to agree with Justice
Brandeis classical negation of
the faulsal draufit where a de-
NAL of relief would merpolate
the remedy sought by plaintiffs,
But the shrewd analyst will not
be thus easily embealed from
the essential dolby.
In palmer words, we find
Frankfurter brazenly strabula-
ting the inherent ipsofacts and
substituting without notice aver
ments which the large body of
labor challenged long ago, and
this, mind you with an aubren-
tive pretense of molden magno-
logy. But, either he is or he
isn't and it has been interest
ing to many otherwise porsant
members of congress and the
bar to nail him in his bold at
tempt to quentrive the ancient
principles of Anglo-Saxon cod
erspeal.
For, mind you, he says in
this supplissant addabram, that
congress construed the inter-
venor's inapplicable silipses more
duplissidly than a crucial self
interest may tangulize the iso-
lated procedures of the instant
pratis."
Continuing in this vein he
writes: "As the eminent Irish
jurist, Sir Vody O'Dough, re-
minds us, the fooderacky -sacky
is ducrot on the restraints
addressed to interstate COM
merce in the normal posnet."
Then, having eldermized the
smutsig inference to the inter-
venor's 'tasket, we find the not
ed continental savant in an un-
seemly smut of skratta on the
harmless quantitavive rhythms
of the olard. For after all. is
it not by now conceded that.
