Few Friends Re Orient

U. N. Ambassador Warren Austin
has warned the White House that
the majority of members of the
U. N. Security Council are opposed
to U. N. forces going beyond the
18th Parallel in Korea.
Even more important, Austin has
informed Washington that the U.N
would definitely oppose further
American intervention in China
Austin went SO far as to state
privately that the United States
would run into heavy opposition
at the U. N. General Assembly to
MacArthur's policy Of support for
Chang Kai-Shek. Only the Phil
ippines, Austin reported, favor
Chang, and virtually every other
Pacific nation is doing business
with or has recognized Tse-Tung'S
Communist regime.
AS a result, Secretary Achesor
will review American Far Eastern
policy with British Foreign Min
lister Beyin in about one week.

This Is No Cinch
Cincinnati Enquirer


Louis H. Bean an economist in the Department
of Agriculture who fancies himself an expert on
elections has predicted the defeat of Sen. Robert A.
Taft in November He says he bases his forecast on
study of off-year election trends during the last
100 years
In the light of what happened in November, 1913,
land our face is red too the public should not be
expected to pay too much attention to pollsters and
prognosticators-even though Mr.. Bean among the
few who were right two years ago. Furthermore Mr..
Bean (who was born in Russia and educated at Har-
ward and who has held long series of public jobs for
more than two decades might reasonably be accused
of having a private to grind in predicting the
defeat of the leading Republican Senator, since MI
Bean is now working for Democratic administration
However along with the gloomy outlook his crystal
hall holds for Bob Taft it should be noted that Mr
Bean also foresees defeat very close squeak Tor
three important Democratic leaders Scott Lucas OF
Illinois the Senate Majority Leader, Francis Myers
of PENNSYLVANIA Democratic whip in the Senate ana
Brien Mcmahon of Connecticut, Chairman OF the JOINT
Committee on Atomic Energy. (He also predicts the
idefeat of Sen Eugene Mlliken of Colorado Chairman
of the Senate Republican Conference)
Perhaps Mr.. Bean will prove to be as poor a
nrophet in 1850 as George Gallup was in 1s4S, but
at least the forecast which he land others are
making on the coseness OF the Ohio senatorial race
should stir Buckeye Republicans from the feeling
they've had that Bob Taft is clnch opponents
of Ohio,s Senior Senator have given ample evidence
that thev are going to heaven and earth to get
ehir people to the polls. The Senator's supporters
had better be sure that they are putting forth no
lesser effort
