Out of the Stable
Campaign Chiefs Now Must Give Voters
A Look at Truman and Macarthur

managed to prevent enlargement OF
the Truman circle to include a rep
resentative of the National Commit
tee or any other politically expert
enced guides for the crucial time
ahead. .t
National Chairman McGrath went
in cold to Mondays meeting at
which he laid before the President
the results of the long series Of
White House actions taken without
any prior consultations about their
political wisdom or probable effects.
The President was charming and
agreed finally to Chairman Nc
Grath,s astute. insistence that 1t
was time to cut the water off the
floods of Truman-won't-run propa-
Fganda.
Weakness Displayed.
The weakness from a propaganda
point of view of the White House,
which ought to be the best sounding
board in the world, was never better
displayed than In the course OF that
anti-Truman spate. People who
don't want Mr.. Truman on the
Democratic ticket had built it up to
really formidable proportions with
out any real evidence, without a
genuinely available substitute to
offer, without a complaint outside
the South from an influential party
leader.
Not a peep was heard directly or
indirectly against 1t though Press
Secretary Ross had an able collec-
ton Of reporters within call down
South, not to mention a telephone.
The result was, as Chairman Nc
Grath explained to Mr.. Truman, a
mounting confusion and questioning
in party ranks which had to be
cleared.
Chairman McGrath Is making a
consistently good impression with
his handling of sticky situations.
But he can hardly run a whole cam
paign on the basis Of pleasant con-
versations between himself and the
President.
Asked if they see Gen. Macarthur.
reporters from Tokyo have an
swered, Eyes, we can see Macarthur
and on a clear day we can see
Fujiyama, too." This remoteness
some of them attribute more to the
people around the general than to
the general personally, which is
not uncommon phenomenon.
Among those who would. like to
see the general on the hustings are
the other candidates who have had
to bear the close personal scrutiny
OF the press and radio. They have
often envied him that military
censorship.

fetal ranks. But both have been
virtually inaccessible to the people
whose votes they now ask. Gen
Macarthur, of course, is geographic
cally remote as we'll; it has been 10
years since he set foot on Ameri-
can soil.
The President is surrounded in
the White House by a narrow per-
sonal circle that has had no ex-
perience in campaigns. Nor has he
had any Of consequence. His Mis-
souri, career was completely in the
hands of the late Tom Pendergast,
who did the political thinking; his
campaign for the vice presidency
was handled by the Roosevelt ex-
perts and presented no special prob
lens anyway.
Aides Lack Experience.
The Presidents speech writer and
principal adviser, Clark Clifford, is
a young lawyer from st. Louis COM
pletely without political experience.
Press Secretary Charles Ross is a
former editorial writer who never
participated in the hurly-burly of
news events and has communicated
to the executive Offices the placidity
Of the editorial sanctum. Gen.
Vaughan and Treasury Secretary
Snyder are strictly personal aides.
Secretaries Hassett and Connally
do not pretend to do more than the
routine of their duties. Of them
all, Presidential Aide John R. Steel
man has probably the best idea of
political relations but he is laden
with duties and his personality has
won him no Hooperatings.
Yet this group, while they fuss
and feud among themselves, have

tions in Germany and Austria.
In some quarters in official Wash.
ington it is believed that Moscow
will continue a pin-pricking policy
IN Berlin and in Vienna and cause
an increasing number of conflicts
with the American occupation
forces, but outside of that 1t will moi
take any steps leading to open hos
tilities, at least until Sweden and
Norway have been secured on the
side of the U. s. S. r. Moreover, say
these observers, Russia reckons on
compelling us to leave Europe as
soon as France has toppled over
into the Soviet sphere and a Com
munist- dominated government has
adopted an openly hostile attitude
toward the United States.
Another Point OF View.
Other qualified observers do not
share this point of view. They say
that it is by no means sure that the
Communist coup will succeed in
France, where De Gaulle can count
on the support Of the army. They
add that the defensive agreements
which are now being drafted in
Brussels and which provide for the
inclusion of Western Germany in
the overall plan might determine
the Moscow leaders to get us out Of
Germany. In order to reach this
objective they do not need to use
Soviet forces. The Committee Of
Liberation-formerly known as the
Free German Committee-organized
in Russia after the fall of Stalin-
grad under the leadership of Field
Marshal Won Paulus-has q suffi-
cient force to compel the withdrawal
Of the American forces from Berlin
and even from Germany.
The latest available estimates
place the strength of this auxiliary
army of the U. s. s. r. at about
10000 well-trained and modernly
equipped men. Thus without throw
ing the gauntlet the Soviet high
command in Eastern Germany might
tolerate" an effort on the part Of
those patriotic Germans" who have
been organized into fighting units
since 1914 to regain the unification
of the Fatherland.
From whichever angle we con-
slider the international situation, 1t
is obvious to our top military leaders
that we are in a more precarious
situation today than ever in our
history. We are attempting to
answer the Soviet challenge with
economic support and dignified
diplomatic notes. The European
leaders themselves agree now that
economic support without strong
military backing is Of little help
against the increasing aggressive
ness of Russia. AS for our diplo-
matte notes to the Kremlin, they
find an honored place in the For
eign Ministry's wastepaper basket.

opinions of leading figures. But
ardently crave to be heard with an
open mind.
Military alliances would mean the
immediate division of Europe into
two armed camps With the battle
line drawn on European soil. They
would strengthen the Soviet argu-
ment that American imperialism"
is making Europe a military base
against the U. S. 8. R. They would
give the Russians an argument for
immediate aggression to Offset
American encirclement." They
would be tremendous asset to Rus
sian propaganda. And they would
turn countless Europeans against us.
For If there is anything the Euro
pean people do not want, it is to be
liberated" again-by either the
Russians or the Americans.
Furthermore, in the horrible event
OF war between. the United States
and the Soviets, European CONT
mental alliances would be worthless.
No existing European armies could
halt the Soviet hordes. The Rus
SLAMS would have Fortress Europa"
quicker than the Germans did.
Excuse For Russia.
Therefore, instead of furnishing
the Russians with an argument for
aggression, we should make it as diff
ficult as possible for them to find
an excuse for it. We should make
it impossible to charge the Ameri-
cans with any military aims
whatever in Europe. We should
create such a situation as would
disarm of any validity the Russian
argument that its East European
alliances are defensive.
We should-and we must-make
the same proposals In behalf Of all
Europe as the Congress of Vienna
made in 1915 in behalf Of Switzer-
land. That proposal is the total
and permanent naturalization of a
European Confederation.
Without that naturalization Eu-
rope cannot and will not confeder-
ate. With it, If 1t follows the lines
of the Swiss Confederation and
neutrality, the Russians, If they op-
pose, will not have leg to stand on,
nor legitimate defense argument
to advance. And with it, the Euro
pean parties who support 1t must
emerge in the eyes of their people
as the would-be saviors of Europe
from American and Russian domi-
from war.

MINISTER KILLS
PROWLER

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5. GAN
P)-While 35 members were at
tending services in an adjoining
auditorium, the pastor of the New
Light Tabernacle church, the Rev.
Theodor Bullock, shot to death a
man he had surprised stealing $50
from his desk.
The intruder, Robert Winters,
25, was killed by five bullets as
he tried to escape through the Gel
lar door which he mistook for an
exit.
Rev. Bullock fired the shots
from a -32 CALDER pistol. The
shooting climaxed a violent scuf-
file during which Winters is said
to have dropped the envelope
which contained the stolen money.
According to police, Rev. Bull
lock told them he was seated in
the rear Of the church with a dea-
con. Louis Brunson, when they
heard someone enter the vestibule.
The pastor left the congregation
singing and went to investigate the
cause of the mysterious noise.
AS he entered his study, Bull
lock told police, he saw the man
take an envelope from his desk
and place it in his pocket. The
! money was a collection from g
previous service. When the minis.
ter asked the intruder what he
wanted, Winter replied, "Get ou-

of my way"
AS Winters ran past Bullock,
the pastor took a pistol from his
desk. By now Winters was run
ming toward the vestibule. He was
trying to open the cellar door
when Bullock seized him. During
the scuffle, Winters dropped the
envelope.
Rev. Bullock braced himself in
front of the door and ordered Win
tiers against the wal. Instead Of
obeying, the youth tried to get
out through the cellar door again.
Rev. Bullock opened up and
five shots struck the prowler in
the upper part of the body.
When examined, Winters car
ried a boxers card.
