Political Hypocrisy
Southerners, Party Leaders Blamed
For Familiar Filibuster Pattern

The trick of pointing dolefully
to bills being held up is particu-
larly apropos now because of the
great public interest whipped up
by President Truman in his social
welfare program, and because of
a sort of emergency caused by
the approaching expiration date
of some laws. such as rent con-
troll and the European Recovery
Program. The aim is to stir up
people interested in these mat
ters so that they. in their anxiety,
will bring pressure upon the Ad-
ministration to drop its antiflli-
buster drive. Curiously enough,
the public reaction of this sort
has disappointed the filibusters.
People seem to be catching on.
Sparkman "Trick" Cited.
This may explain the rather
extreme effort of Senator Spark
man, Democrat, Of Alabama
chairman of the Senate Banking
subcommittee on rent control ex-
tension, to put the blame for pos
sible defeat of rent control on the
filibuster which he. himself. Is
helping to promote. This was a
surprising by-play by the Ala
bama Senator, who usually does
not resort to such obvious political
tricks.
The pious concern expressed by
Southerners about other parts Of
the Truman program is hypo-
critical in several cases. For quite
a number of Southerners are op-
posed to some of these measures,
such as increase Of the minimum
wage. housing, health and edu-
cation bills. Delay does not dis
turb them really. Nor does it
disturb some Republicans who
suddenly profess concern about
measures which they kept from
becoming law in the 80th Con-
gress and are just as anxious to
see defeated again.
The political hypocrisy is very
plain to any one who knows the
facts of life about Congress.
In this category are all the
moaning and groaning about the
right of full debate. Nobody Is
proposing to do away with that
But the cloture rule. which has
become defective under a parlia-
mentary decision in the last Con-
gress, ought to be made workable
so that on the rare occasions when
legislative paralysis is threatened,
as now, there would be some way
to get bills before the Senate for
consideration.

Molotov in the position OF acting
chief of the government because
the former foreign minister is
unlikely to attempt to make any
changes in the present setup.
Mr.. Stain remains the symbol
of Soviet power and prestige and
is the only man in the Soviet
high command who commands
respect and certain amount of
devotion from large portion of
the Soviet people.
(2) Mr.. Molotov now has more
power than ever before. But that
power will be more strictly con-
trolled by the Politburo than when
Mr.. Stain headed the government.
There will be no change in Rus
sia's aggressive policies. accord
ing to our top-ranking diplomats
and high officials.
The only difference between Mr..
Stain and Mr.. Molotov, accord
ing to those who have attc>ded
meetings where both we're present,
is that Mr.. Stain frequently shows
himself as a humorous and some
times affable person, while Mr..
Molotov is sour, unbending and
never tries to conceal his deep
contempt for Western ideas.
Mr.. Molotov is said to have
been the strongest advocate of the
cold war and wanted it continued
until it produced positive re-
suits" He also is believed to
favor developing the cold war
into something more drastic and
was chiefly responsible for remov-
ing from positions of actual
power some professional military
men who had pointed out to the
Politburo that initial successes
do not mean victory in war.
Mr.. Molotov is considered to be
the most determined enemy OF
the West in the Politburo.

busterers begin to point unctu-
ously at the bills that are being
held up. Somehow they always are
able to shift the blame for the
Legislative deadlock from them
selves to others, the others being
party leaders responsible for q
Legislative program.
The latter scare very easily
usually. In this case one suspects
with good evidence. that they are
rather lukewarm anyhow about
the project involved. This is
President Truman's specific in
struction to curb the f1libusterine
practice so the Senate will get at
least a chance to consider civil
rights bills.
Called Clever Conspiracy.
1t is a clever conspiracy in
which much of the Senate is in
volved. The public looks on help
lessly while the gentlemen play
politics.
There Is no question about
where the blame lies. 1t rests,
first, squarely on the Southern
minority which for years has kept
the Senate from considering one
of the major issues of our times,
which is to make our Constitution
mean what it says. The blame must
be shared also by the leaders OF
both parties. for they have pledged
themselves to do something about
fllibusters and the civil rights
program. Their timidity and
their evasive tactics contrast with
the big talk"-as the Indians
aptly used to call it-from cam
paign platforms.

ported by the Armed Services
Committee, a detail that did not
bother the Senator.
His performance, however. in
tightening the load of the South
erners bothers considerably those
Republicans who are in earnest
about civil rights. Just how small
and select that group is will be
observed soon In the votes on
cloture.
G.. O. p. Divisions Shown.
Senator Cain is among the first
to give the show away on his
party's deep divisions in civil
rights matters. These divisions
were the true cause of Republican
inaction on civil rights in the
Both Congress and no amount of
technicalities will serve to hide
them in the cloture votes about
to occur. They account for the
decision Of the policy committee to
leave the Republicans free to act
as individuals in this current
fracas.
The policy discussions roughly
disclosed three factions. Senators
Taft. Knowland. Ives and Lodge
speak for those ready to go down
the line. Senator Mlllikin. a
scholarly lawyer. is typical Of a
few who have real constitutional
doubts about both civil rights and
cloture. Finally there is the
rather large block, chiefly from the
West and Middle West where mi
norities are less important po-
litically, who are Indifferent to the
issue. OF this group, there are too
many who are cynically ready to
exploit civil rights either to gain
what they think is a political ad-
vantage over the President or to
induce the Southerners to vote
with them against New Deal meas
ures.

This Changing World
Vishinsky Regarded Likely to Intensity
Cold War as Russian Foreign Minister

shinsky is expected to be even
more of a Charlie Mccarthy for
Mr.. Molotov than he was in the
past. He is not a member Of
either the Politburo or the Gen.
trail Committee Of the Communist
Party. Under the circumstances,
regardless of what job he has,
he is powerless, since he must
execute policies decided by the
Politburo in meetings which he
is not permitted to attend. He
can advise that body only through
his superior, Mr.. Molotoy. and
such advice must be colored, un-
der the Soviet system. to coincide
with the views of the new acting
government chief.
Mr.. Vishinsky is better speaker
and q more flamboyant person
than any other member of the
Russian government. He has
demonstrated his talents in sneer-
ing and smearing in the various
international meetings which he
has attended as Mr.. Molotov's
deputy.
The new foreign minister is ex-
pected to break out in print soon
with amusing sarcasm and new
epithets against the Western
world - and particularly the
United States. But this does not
mean, according to top Western
diplomats. that he will have any,
thing to do with actual formula
ton of Soviet foreign policy.
"a Andrei Gromyko, the new
deputy foreign minister. is a crea-
ture of Mr.. Molotoy and is COM
pletely devoted to him. His pro-
motion is believed to be due to
Mr.. Molotov's desire to have a
real watchdog in the foreign min
istry, so that Mr.. Vishinsky, who
was once a member of the Men,
shevik Party. might not be led
astray by his own personal am
bitions if some conflict within the
government develops after Mr..
Stain disappears entirely from the
world stage.
The conclusion of this analysis
is that we must not expect any
improvement in the general inter-
national situation because Of last
weeks reshuffle in the Kremlin.
On the contrary, Mr.. Vishinsky,
if he is given the green light by
the Politburo, is likely to intensity
the present cold war by strongly
infiammatory statements and un-
expected actions In Scandinavia,
Finland and Iran.
The stage for such actions was
set by Mr.. Molotov himself before
he handed the reins nominally
over to his deputy in the foreign
ministry. Those actions are ex-
pected to be in the true Vishinsky
style. however.

Republican Strays
Some Senators Seen 'Cynically Ready
To Exploit Civil Rights for Own Ends

Some quarters feel that Senator
Taft. real leader of Senate Re
publicans, has not thrown his full
weight into the fight for the ideal
so staunchly stated in the plat
form of the party of Abraham
Lincoln. Republicans contend he
can do nothing with people like
Senators Cain or Watkins of Utah
who also plans a breather for the
Southerners with a speech on the
still unpublished Atlantic Pact.
Bricker Tactic Cited.
Senator Taft's colleague, Sen
ator Bricker, has sought to employ
civil rights as a tactic to make
Southern enemies for the hous-
ing bill. Mr.. Bricker offered an
amendment in committee to bar
segregation in the housing con-
templated in the bill. This mix
ing Of the two issues was votec
down by the committee and Sen.
ator Bricker then voted against
the bill. The same tactic was fol.
lowed on the House side by Re-
publican foes of housing.
These Republican strays from
the party's traditional position
have some strange bedfellows
Labor has done little or nothing
to help the Senators who are
carrying the civil rights ball; their
lobbyists are strangely inactive as
their Southern enemies press thei1
present advantages on the floor
The fact is that discrimination is
still practiced in many unions ano

 Page never was better than he was last night as he struck out four of the five men he faced in the Tanks important 5-2 victory over Boston.
 Called to the rescue of Allie Rey- holds after BoIoby Doerr tripled with the potential tying run in the eighth, Page blazed his fast ball past the Red Sox in sizzling per formance that dampened their pennant hopes.

 Boston took an early lead on Reynolds wildness, but the Tanks struck back to go ahead, 3-2, on Bill Johnson's second triple and a costly error by Vern Stephens before Page appeared on 5he scene.
