The PruSsians were spared by
the Politburo because of their in
tense nationalism and are consid-
cred by the Kremlin to be far
more reliable than the German
Communists, who still hold Marx
ist theory. That theory now is
superannuated and is used merely
as w-dressing by the Polit-
buro. The East Prussian knights
are better material for Moscow's
plans in Western Europe.
These men with yard-long aris-
tocratic names also command
greater respect from rank-and-
file Germans. The Communists
whom the Russians have placed
in high positions are regarded as
mere rabble.

The military preparedness of our
allies still is 80 per cent on blue
prints. It is true that a substan-
tial quantity Of modern equip
ment has reached Western Eu-
rope from the United States in
recent months. But tanks and
planes alone do not constitute an
army.
Men are needed in large num-
bers behind the machines. And
so far there has been only a small
effort by the other members OF
the Atlantic Pact to increase the
number of fighting men. The
French, who have the burden OF
providing most of the manpower
are in a difficult position.

There is nothing in the world
that frightens me so much as an
insurance company. I would no
more put in a claim for a loss
with one than I would jump in
a vat Of boiling molasses.

The very thought of filling out
a claim makes gooseflesh pop out
all over me, even though every
thing have to report as lost was

my part. I know I have a legiti-

was coined about the Western
Republican insurgents by a pre-
decessor of Senator Tobey from
New Hampshire. the late Senator
George Moses, cynical and quip-
ping Old Guarder. He gave it
to the front pages in a speech here
one night at New England
Council dinner at which he
thought. mistakenly, there were
no reporters present. That opened
wider the schism in his party and
set the Western insurgents of
on a wild and fresh rampage, es-
|pecially since Senator Moses then
was chairman of the Republican
Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Later he was shown to have
had a hand, indirectly. in an at
tempt to defeat the late Senator

interest.
His contest for reelection is
arousing National attention be-
cause as has happened in similar
instances, powerful interests be-
yond the borders of his State
are trying to eliminate him from
the Senate. The adopted device
is to split the Republican vote.
which is about the only political
trick that could work in his norm
ally Republican State.
Despite the expenditure of much
money. those cunning for Senator
Tobey failed to beat him in the
primary in very close race with
Wesley Powell, former admins
;rative assistant to Senator Tobey's
colleague, Senator Bridges, Re
publican of New Hampshire, who
is thus recognized as a party to
the anti-Tobey drive. Then Mr.
Powell tried to enter the race as
an independent, which obviously
would have split the Republican
vote and bring about election of
Democrat. However, he has been
ruled off the ballot by the New
Hampshire Ballot Law Commis-
sion.
Part Of General Campaign.
The Tobey case is significant
as part of the general campaign
against progressive elements in
the Republican Party. The con-
centration of outside interests,
both political and economic, on
this small New England State
not only reveals the intensity of
the ir1tra-party struggle between
conservatives and progressives.
but serves, likewise, to empha-
size how much New England has
come to contribute to the latter in
a shift geographically within the
party. It offers also an intriguing
historical parallel.
New England progressivism
ranges from Senators Tobey and
George D. Aiken of Vermont to
a more moderate and modified
sort in such others from that
region as Senators Flanders of
Vermont, Lodge and Saltonstall
of Massachusetts and Margaret
Chase Smith Of Maine-none of
whom can be identified with Old
Guard Republicanism and are
frequently found challenging that
viewpoint openly.

This Changing World
Signs Grow That Stain Is Preparing
Another Push Button War in Europe

The French have a war on their
hands in Indo- China and the
campaign has only started.
The French government feels
that it has its hands full with
this war. where some 1900 first
line French and African troops are
engaged. Reinforcements may be
needed, says Paris, and the posi-
ton Of the government headed by
Rene Pleven would become critical
if he asked for a substantial in
crease in the military service and
draft Of French native reserves.
The situation in the other
countries is about the same. In
the face of the still latent threat
from Eastern Germany, where the
German forces of about 100000
well-trained and well-equipped
men are backed by about 40 Rus
sian divisions. it will be necessary
to rush American reinforcements
to Europe as soon as possible.
Quick Korea Clean Sought.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff hope
with a good deal of justification
that by the middle of November
major operations in Korea will be
completed. No fresh American re-
Inducements will be needed and
this will enable us to send to
Europe several National Guard
and reserve divisions called to
duty last July. They will bolster
the insufficient American. British
and French troops which now are
in Germany.
The high hopes of military men
that we may be able to start
organizing combat forces in coun-
tries which have substantial man
power are fading rapidly. The
French government is still ada
mant against the rearming OF
Western Germany, where 10 di-
visions could be raised In record
time. French and British poll
ticians are equally adamant about
providing Spain with war material
to equip at least a portion of the
100000 f1rst-line soldiers who now
are in the Spanish army.
Since We have supplied them
with billions of dollars for eco
nomic and military recovery they
seem to think our manpower is
inexhaustible, too. They seem to
imagine that we can send hun
dreds of thousands of men for
the defense of Europe on short
notice and overlook the fact that
the casualty list in the police
action" in Korea so far has
reached nearly $4,000 men.

Lucas Withdraws
Motion For FEPC

WASHINGTON AMP Senate
majority leader Scott w. Lucas,
last Monday withdrew from the
Senate his motion to take up the
anti-discrimination bill aimed to
prohibit discrimination in employ
ment because of race, color, re-
ligion, or national origin but en-
phasized very strongly that he
would bring it up again before
this session of congress edjourns.
This action on the part of Sen.
.Luces was severly critized by Rep.
Sens. Kenneth S. Wherry Of Ne
braska and Irving M. Ives of New
York.
Senate Minority leader Wherry
expressed his regret that MI. LII
cas- had seen fit to withdraw his
motion, The Nebraska senator said
he had hoped that by unanimous
consent the motion to take up the
FEPC legislation might continue
before the senate as q pending
question.
He claimed that although the
Illinois senator had stated that he
would again call up the motion,
still he believed that it
would be very difficult to attempt
again by motion to take up the
FEPC bill in view of the important
legislation which will now be COM
ing before the Senate including
social-security the tax bill, and
the appropriation bill.
Senator Ives, who has been a

Johnson Named
To NCHA

WASHINGTON (ANP)- Col.
Campbell Johnson, assistant to the
Selective Service administrator,
was appointed last week to the
National Capital Housing author
ity. The appointment vas made
upon an executive order issued
by President Truman last Friday.
Although about so percent of
the low rent housing which comes
under the Capital Housing author
ity is occupied by Negroes, Col.
Johnson is the first Negro to serve
as a member of the NCHA.
His appointment answers a long
time request from Negro residents
