We learned about Manuel by &C.
cident. Portuguese friends Offered
to take us for q ride to Sintrs
and a visit to the Pena Palace
in the mountains back Of Lisbon
We were delighted to accept the
invitation. because we had hearc
that the Pena Palace was one Of
the absolute "musts' for a visitor
to Lisbon.
They picked us up in 4 tax
they had engaged for the after
noon. and Manuel Pimento was
the owner and driver Of the mid
dle-aged Plymouth. Within sc
seconds after leaving the hote
Jean and I knew that we should
never have come. BY a process
which I am sure they would like
to know about in Detroit, Manuel
started the car at 40 miles per
hour, careened around the flower
beds in front of the hotel on q
wheel and a half. and headed fol
the mountains.

This Changing World
Arms Aid Is First Real augmentation
Of Truman Doctrine of March, 19A

The inclusion of Iran provides
the foundation for Middle East
ern alliance with Greece and
Turkey, which could do in its
sphere of Southeastern Europe and
Asia what the Atlantic Pact is
doing for the area in which We are
directly interested.
The inclusion of both Korea and
the Philippines makes some con-
cession to the idea OF Pacific
union as projected recently by
Chang Kai-shek and President
Quirino Of the Philippines. Korea
subsequently came into their bloc
and here again the omission of
China is significant. for we, prom
Use military aid to two countries
which are allied-at least In a
tentative way-with the Chinese
Nationalist leader.
Hemisphere Plans.
As for the American hemisphere,
which is not directly threatened
by Communist expansion. Canada
and the Latin American countries
will be assisted in obtaining Amer
lean arms. for which they will
pay with their own money.
One regrets that such a gigantic
armament project must be under
taken to halt what President
Truman recognizes as a direct
threat by Russia. but at the same
time it is a source Of satisfaction
that the worldwide character OF
the Communist peril finally is ap-
preciated and that steps to meet
it are being taken on worldwide
basis.
Our whole anti Communist de-
Tense has suffered for a long time
from piecemeal treatment and the
failure to appreciate the Far
Eastern threat while we were
the European threat with
most effective measures. Now this
tendency to divide the world into
two parts, one of which we assist
and the other of which we neglect,
is apparently checked. Now we
are dealing with communism as
the world menace that it is.
When it comes to digging into
our pockets to support other peo-
pies war-making ability Congress
is properly quizzical. 1t should be
especially since President
Truman gives no indication of how
long this armament program will
have to continue. although he does
make clear that we cannot 60
on indefinitely maintaining the
rest of the world.
However, Congress also should
be responsive to clear proof OF
need, and the need certainly exists
in this case.

a one-year old baby boy at home.
and he, Manuel Pimento, intended
to live to bring him up.
I didn't say anything, but I
am willing to bet that Junior
Pimento will spend great part
of his life paying hospital bills
for his old man.
All I can tell you about the
Pena Palace is that I would like
to spend the rest of my life there.
not only because 1T is like castle
out of a fairy tale, but because
while I was walking about 1t I
was out of Manuel's car.
I remember nothing of the mad
plunge down the mountain. I just
shut my eyes and listened to my
hair grow gray.
So remember the name -
Manuel Pimento.

Byrd Machine Under Fire
Virginia Primary Election for Governor
Has Interest Far Beyond State Border

his fight on the Truman Fair Deal
in Congress to the point where
President Truman blurted out to
a delegation Of the American Vet
Grams Committee in his office a few
weeks ago:
There are to many Byrds in
Congress-"
Senator Byrd. himself, is up for
reelection in 1852 and a defeat
this year would dim his prestige.
Something clearly is~stirring in
Virginia, apparently the same sort
Of tide which in recent months
has been running against en-
trenched political machines else
where. This is being capitalized
by Col. Miller. a veteran OF both
World Wars, leader of progress
sive causes in Virginia and ma
tionally. who is crying out against
invisible government" He Is
calling on the voters to overthrow
the Byrd oligarchy with its tight
courthouse control and restore
real democracy to Virginia. He
has rallied support among labor
veterans, women and independ-
ents in a sort of peoples crusade
against bossism.
Machine Has Advantage.
The Byrd machine admittedly
has the advantage of organiza-
ton. 1t has maintained control
through restricted franchise and
the careful distribution Of patron
age. Basically its theory is that
government should be in the
gentlemanly tradition. AS q re-
suit too little has been done for
the rank and file citizens. Vir-
ginia ranks low among the States
in several particulars, including
education, which last is conceded
by all candidates in their en-
phasis on better educational
facilities as leading issue.
One of the four candidates,
Horace N. Edwards. former mayor
of Richmond, is advocating a two
per cent sales tax for education.
Formerly a Byrd machine leader,
he resigned as State Democratic
chairman to enter the governor
primary. This is interpreted by
some as an indication that he, at
least, may feel that the Byrd
machine is cracking. The other
candidate, Remmie l.. Arnold, q
Petersburg pen manufacturer. re-
presents the very conservative
business element in the State.
How much of a vote these two
concededly minor candidates may
attract, undoubtedly will affect the
outcome Of the Battle-Miller con-
test. Experts agree the race will
be close.

country which was disposed to de-
fend itself against Communis'
aggression.
The Marshall Plan which fol-
lowed was prepared in the light
of the implication in the Truman
doctrine, and aimed to halt Com
munist expansion by correcting
the economic Ills which breec
communism.
Broader Than Anticipated.
There followed the creation OF
the Western European Union anc
the negotiation Of the Atlantic
Pact, which was ratified by the
United States Senate last week
Now comes the Truman arms pro-
gram, on a scale a good bit
broader than our previous efforts
against Communist expansion, ano
a good bit broader than was an
ticipated in the forecasts OF the
message.
It had been known that the
Atlantic pact nations, plus Greece
and Turkey, were to share in the
direct grants. but it is clear now
that Iran, Korea and the Philip
pines also would come in for direct
assistance at the very start. and
presumably would participate in
whatever future appropriations
are made for this purpose.
This puts American armed
strength behind practically every
country which could become
point Of Communist attack any
time soon. Significantly, however
it leaves out China, where the Ma
tionalist battle for survival goes
on, and India. which in view OF
recent developments in Tibet ano
elsewhere on the continent OF
Asia. may become a target Of REQ
expansion.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1949-07-27

Pickens Miller, who is in the
Southern progressive tradition
The contest lies between these
two, though there are two other
candidates in the Democratic
primary.
This election is significant be-
cause Senator Byrd has become
the symbol of conservative revolt
within the Democratic Party. He
was the conservative champion
against Franklin D. Roosevelt's
New Deal as he is against Harry
Truman's Fair Deal. The con-
sentative wing Of the party, largely
concentrated In the South, has
looked to him for leadership, and
he is an eminently respected
| figure.
Modern Confederacy.
Richmond, the capital where his
henchmen so long have ruled, has
become the capital of a sort of
modern Confederacy. Harry Byrd
is the modern jeff Davis in bust
ness clothes and without the chin
whiskers.
Consequently a defeat, or even
narrow victory, for the Senator'S
organization in this election would
have its effect throughout the
South. 1t would encourage the
progressive forces there as else
where. Likewise, 1t is no secret
that it would hearten President
Truman. Though he has kept
hands off in this interparty fight
in Virginia, he has watched de-
velopments with interest. Not only
did the Byrd machine try to keep
his name off the ballot in Virginia
last year, without avail in the end,
but Senator Byrd has continued
