On the Other Hand
Democratic Master Minds Afraid
Candidates Aren't Scared Enough

tif1c pulse feelers aren't sticking
their necks out. not on a national
scale, although one has occa-
sionally recorded the current
state of President Truman's per-
sonal popularity. finding that it
is bearing up well. ,..
Reference was made the other
day to the fact that candidates
OF both parties have been using
the votes of Vito Marcantonio,
radical New York Congressman,
as a sort Of litmus test of an op-
ponent's Americanism. To the
degree that the candidate voted
as Marcantonio did in recent ses-
sions of Congress, to that degree
he is called red" To the degree
he voted the opposite way, he is
presumed to be true blue.
Find a Lot of Red.
So Republicans find lot of red
in Democrats who voted along
with Vito on welfare measures
and Democrats prove that Repub-
licans have the hated color be-
cause they joined the little New
Yorker in opposing the admins
tration's anti-Communist foreign
policy. Vito has become an issue
in this left-handed manner, even
as far away as California. There
the great burden of Representa-
tive Richard Nixon's campaign
against Representative Helen Ga
hagan Douglas for a seat in the
Senate is the alleged redness OF
Mrs. Douglas. So Mrs. Douglas
is turning the tables by reading
the roll call of Nixon votes that
parallel those Of Marcantonio.
The handsome Congresswoman
incidentally. is said to be running
no worse than even with Repre-
sentative Nixon, despite an almost
total lack of newspaper support
or even of newspaper publicity
She is getting vigorous support

This Changing World
Hammer and Sickle Flag Due to Fly

vasion is in full swing now and
shows every indication of success,
unless. of course. the United Ma
tions decides to intervene with
its troops. That is to say. unless
we are instructed to send some
Marine and Army divisions to
that area.
While Tibetan affairs normally
would receive only scant attention
from the State and Defense De-
partmentS, the advance of the
Communist forces into that noun
tain state has particular signifi-
canoe at this time. 1t shows us
definitely that while the Russians
are holding their fire in Europe,
and Andrei Vishinsky COOS SWeetly
about the blessings of peace at
Lake Success, the Kremlin is pro-
ceeding with its plans to seize
Asia.
Fertile Ground In Indo- China.
Ho Chi Mimi has found fertile
ground in Indo-C China, where our
French friends have made so
many mistakes that they have lost
whatever support they could have
found among the definitely non
Communist Indo- Chinese masses
Even their hand-picked head of
the Wet Nam state, former EN-
peror Bao Dai. is not treated prop
Ierly by the petty colonial officials
whom Paris has sent to Indo-
China.
For instance, the French resi-
dent general in Saigon still oc-
cupies the ancient royal palace
and as far as is known here, still
denies it to its rightful owner
Bao Dai. This may appear to be a
small matter to the average
American. But 1t has created. and
still creates. bad feeling among
the natives.
The advance of the Wet Mini
troops has placed in their pos
session the whole area in the
north. recently evacuated by the
French troops. The Wet Mimi ad-
vance now has placed them 40
miles from the principal city OF
Hanoi. The French are expected
to take their stand there. But
the forced departure of the French
troops from the blockhouses and
fortresses which guarded the bor-
der. has brought the forces of He
Chi Mimi to the borders of Thai
land and Burma.
They are not on those borders
in force yet. But communications
are all in their hands, and pres
sure could be brought to bear on
the peoples of those countries
without much trouble in the near
future

The only obstacles the Reds will
find in their path will be the high
and rugged mountain ranges. But
it is extremely doubtful that these
will be defended.
Many Tibetans are armed,
principally with antique rifles, but
there is no such thing as an army.
Tibet enjoyed independence be-
cause it has never been of COM
mercial value to anybody. Strate-
gically it has been of vast i'm
portance to any power that aimed
eventually at descending on India
So long as there was a balance OF
power between non-aggressive
China and Britain, no threat ex-
listed to the territories south OF
Tibet.
March Long Expected.
The Chinese Communists march
into Tibet-on orders from Mos
cow-has been expected for some
time. There have been repeated
reports about such a move ever
since the Nationalist forces on the
Chinese mainland collapsed. The
only question in the subjugation
of the 3 million Tibetans by Mos
cow was the timing.
A master plan for the future
operations of the Kremlin in Asia
is reported to have been captured
when Pyongyang, Korean Red
capital. was occupied by our
forces. Tibet, together with Indo-
China. Siam and Burma, was
one objective named in the master
plan for Soviet operations in Asia
The Tibetan move was men
toned as sequel to the conquest
of Wet Nam by Ho Chi Minis
troops, which are being trained
and supplied in China. This in

Either action, we have argued,
would lead to a general war. But
a step toward general paciflca-
ton might be achieved by the
permanent naturalization of Ger
many, the uniflcation of the
country on this basis, and with
mutual guarantees of inter-
vention and German security, as
a permanent island of peace be-
tween the powers.
Protest Meets Denial.
Now the Western foreign min
listers have sent a formal protest
to the Soviet government charg-
ing that the Soviets are creating,
under the disguise of police
force, a new German Army.
The Soviet government. in a
reply dated October 20, categori-
cally has denied this, stating that
the East German peoples police
Is so formed as to be in full con-
formity with the directives of the
Potsdam Agreement.
The Soviets make a counter
charge that police formations in
the Western zones are, in fact,
military units, and that the West
ern powers openly envisage reviv-
ing a German Army as well as
providing for the participation OF
Western Germany in joint armed
forces.
The Soviet government con-
cludes its note with the stark
statement, 1.-THE Soviet govern
ment will not tolerate such meas
ures of the governments of the
United States, Great Britain and
France"
In short, this is the nearest
thing to an ultimatum yet issued
by the Soviet government.
At the last meeting of the West
ern foreign ministers in New
York, proposals to rearm Western
Germany-reportedly advanced by
the United States-were rejected
chiefly, according to reports, by
France. The question of the re-
armament of Western Germany
however, has been discussed copi-
ously in the press and officialdom

their candidates are not running

They remember how it was two
years ago in the closing weeks of

Appeals for assistance are rela-

the candidates reveal more conf

superintendents, six teachers and
20 students.
From 1874 to 1865 the congre-
cation worshiped in a church,
which is still standing, on Wood
lane street between North Adams
and North Washington streets.
The passions aroused by the
Civil War divided the church, CIV
ing rise nationally to the Meth
odist Episcopal Church North and
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South. The Rockville congrega-
tion tried to claim the original
church site and building but lost
the case. Alpheus w. Wilson, an
attorney, who led the fight, then
decided his calling was for the
ministry rather than the law and
became minister in the Southern
branch of Methodisrn.
A new frame church was then
built on the present site, 112 West
Montgomery avenue, from timber
on land owned by John E. Wilson.
The church on Woodlane street,
which became a member of the
Northern branch of Methodism,
was later. sold to a Washington
Conference (colored) Methodist
Church.
In 1924 Improvements, costing
$4,000, were made on the Mont
gomery avenue church. In March
1912 fire broke out and the build
ing was damaged so badly a new
structure had to be erected.
The present $50,000 edifice was
started in October 1912 and COM
pleted in 1943.
