no spectacle for the tender
hearted since, of course. they can't
all win. Unhappily for these aspir-
ants, as their enthusiasm wakes,
their appeal wanes because the
bosses of the five boroughs will
need big names and financial re-
sources less than before.
The Korean crisis has also null
tiplied the value of politically
strategic posts like the New York
governorship. 1t is being said
very quietly and with immense
good will toward the beloved Veer

Two Key Figures.
Two key figures in the situation
are here in Washington-Sena-
tor Lehman and Representative
Franklin D. Roosevelt. jr.
Senator Lehman is unique in
that he is the only person in the
whole picture certain to get what
he wants, which is denomination.
Herbert Lehman wanted to be
Senator and he has had the good
fortune to discover that his dis
tant pasture which seemed so
green really is-the job suits him
and he suits it. His vigorous con-
duct of it has added to his con-
siderable stature and he is in a
position to take a strong line about
the ticket.
Representative Roosevelt wants
to be Governor. He had been en-
countering a feeling on the part

central land mass, because, with
huge armies stationed in positions
to prevent it, the West gave him
the points of departure, and
demobilized.
The Russian war plan is not
unist-ideological. 1t follows
the classical pattern of world con-
quest pursued by every ambitious
Eurasian land power of which
history has a record. ..
Rests on Land Mass.
1t rests on central land mass
politically and militarily inte-
grated, which, by reason of i'm
mense area, independence of re-
sources, inexhaustible manpower
and interior lines of communica-
ton, cannot be blockaded by
navies, or knocked out by air, or
occupied by island forces of vastly
inferior manpower, which must be
transported overseas, and landed
on peninsulas, while the armies of
the central land mass have only to
keep walking and firing to occupy
these peninsulaS.
According to classical pattern,
Stain has dispersed armies (the
satellites) to the peripheries to
take the peninsulas, while Russia
boards her own central forces as
the decisive reserve.
Korea is a peninsula. The test
there was, first. political: Does
Russia mean war in defiance of
the United Nations? The answer
is, yes. 1t is. secondly, a geograph-
ical and military test: Can islands
conquer the peninsulas of polit-
ically and militarily integrated
land mass? The answer is wholly
favorable to the land mass.
To defend the peninsulas, mill
tary power must be on them before
the attack begins. And the island
powers cannot run around the
world trying to hold them all or
they will absolutely lose them all.
They must try to hold Western
Europe. the peninsula of Western
civilization-and begin now, no
matter at what sacrifice Of other
peninsulas.

and toward appeasement OF the
Soyiets. We need to make them
understand. The good will OF weak
foreign governments, supported oy
our money, is not enough. We
must have the good will OF the
people who will sooner or later
determine the fate of those gov
ernmentS.
Three things the President can
tell these people, three things they
want to hear. One is that world
war even now is not inevitable
not if they join in common front
against Soviet imperialism.
A second is that once an I'M
proved world situation is sta
bilized we will participate IN a
general armament reduction that
will permit a rise in living stand
ards everywhere.
The third is that we have no
desire to remake their nations IN
our own image. If their urge IS
toward the welfare state or toward
socialism. that is all right with
us. We will encourage free ex-
preston of the popular will in
any country seeking our guidance
as we have done in Turkey and
Greece. In such matters as land
reform, fairer distribution OF ma
tional income and social leglsla-
ton, we will not attempt to en-
force our own domestic policies,
based on conditions different
from their own.
Need for Interpretation.
Experienced American observ-
ers report the need for effective
Interpretation of the American
position in this respect-not to
the governments of other nations
so much as to the people, the
farmer groups, the labor unions
and the white-collar workers, who
have been subjected to years OF
Misrepresentation of our purposes.
Beyond this, it is important
for us and the world to realize
that we have not entered into a
global contest with the Soviets
because of a desire to extend our
power, or because we fear Rus
sia, or because we are determined
to stamp out communism. De-
spite the crusading note taken
by some elements in our country,
we are not committed to a cru
SADIE against communism as such.
It is certainly not inconceivable
that, under appropriate circum-
stances, we could live on friendly
terms with Communist govern
ments-Yugoslavia, for example.
What then is Americas under
lying reason for engaging in the
present great struggle? It is this:
We perceive that without our in
tervention the distressed peoples
of the world will be coerced into
the orbit Of the Krenalin; that the
Soviets are prepared to exploit
these peoples to their own advan-
tage, while depriving them of their
liberty; and we sense that in this
direction lies the degradation of
humanity, the loss of human and
spiritual freedom everywhere in
the world.
Stated in a different way, we
believe we have more to offer the
world than the Russians and we

of party leaders that he was try
ing to 60 too far too fast and thi:
attitude had support among hi
family and friends. The word wa:
about here also that Bronx Boss
Ed Flynn had things pretty vel
fixed up for State Chairman Fitz-
patrick to do the next Albany
hitch.
But the upcoming Mayoralty
election raises questions about
that.
Fidelity to Custom.
New York politics is operated
by it's Democratic hierarchy ac-
cording to a rigid system Of checks
and balances which approach tri-
bal law in their fidelity to tabu and
sacred custom. No girl coming OF
age in Samoa has to f1t more ex-
actly into a traditional pattern
than the candidate for Democratic
nomination. That pattern is nice
ly calculated to keep the many
racial and religious groups Of the
great metropolis happy and to
keep key persons available as well
for service in the wider sphere
of Federal power and pep. 1t has
worked very well.
The mayor customarily is Irish
Catholic. The Protestants must
be represented at Albany or Wash
ington. Since Mr.. Lehman is al
ready in Washington, Albany
seems due to fall to the Protes-
tants. Mr.. Fitzpatrick, an Irish
Catholic, may be able to switch
one to City Hall; it would probably
be difficult to do.
The Irish monopoly on City Hall
is already being challenged Incl
dentally by City Council President
Vincent r. Impellitteri. a Catholic
of Italian descent, who will be
acting mayor as Of the date Of the
mayors retirement.
Adding to the current confusion
are two balance of power parties.
the non-Communist Liberals and
the fellow-traveling American La
Dor party. The Liberals backed
both Senator Lehman and Repre-
sentative Roosevelt. They did not
back Mr.. O'Dwyer.
The mayor Of New York Is not
yet an Ambassador. If a furious
New York fight got started fast,
interesting things might happen.
Various candidates have friends
among the Senators who must ad-
wise and consent to Ambassadors;
it is no secret that the State
Department regrets that a New
York politician Is to displace an
able career diplomat. Washington
has seen curious things happen
to nominations before.

ers to call for a total effort to
meet the present dangerous world
situation is their hope that the
Korean war will be localized and
eventually end in victory.
Costs and DislocatiOns.
The costs and economic dislo-
cations produced by a general
mobilization of our industries and
manpower would be great. If the
hopes that the Korean conflict
will remain localized are fulfilled,
Mr.. Truman feels that he would
place a useless burden on the
American people by a general
mobilization.
AS things stand now, with only
a partial mobilization, this years
expenditures will amount to the
formidable sum of SOS billion.
Those who favor a general call
to arms, both in manpower and
industrial output for military
equipment. have stronger argu-
ments. They are convinced that
Russia will strike, if our setbacks
in Korea continue, at some other
soft spots. Under present condi-
tions, we are incapable of meet
ing our military commitments

scum WQere LQe nehF1 McLemore.
only three Viking ships in the
world are on exhibit. Two of
them are in an almost perfect
state of preservation, which is re-
markable in view Of the fact that
they sailed the seas as early as
300 A. D. Their preservation is
due to their having been buried in
the blue clay banks of the Oslo
Fjord. This clay kept them al
most as if they had been wrapped
in cellophane. Even the fruit that
the Vikings had on board when
the ships were buried (they were
used as tombs) was recognizable
when unearthed.
An Eye for Beauty.
During my youth I had always
pictured myself to myself as look
ing like a young Viking. Ma,
not having been covered with Oslo
Fjord blue clay for the past 20
years, I picture myself to myself
as looking like a middle-aged, or
seasoned, Viking. So it was with
more than ordinary interest that I
examined these ships.
They are extremely graceful,
and their elaborately carved bow
SPIRITS are proof that the Vikings
had an eye for beauty. But how
they made it over uncharted
oceans is something else again.
Thirty to forty oarsmen and a sail
against all the sea had to offer!
I am proud to fool myself into
believing that the blood Of the
Vikings flows through my veins,
be it ever so sluggishly.
The Vikings must have known
they were pretty glamorous boys,
because records show that if their
hair and boards were not blond
enough to suit them they didn't
hesitate to bleach them even
whittier.
Starting With "V" First.
From the Viking museum we
went to Vigeland Park, having
decided to see everything starting
with "V" first. AS you probably
don't know certainly didn't un-
til I got here-art lovers have
scrapped over the merits or de-
merits of this unique place for
years. 1t is a large. park given
over. to the works of one sculptor.
Gustav Vigeland. who worked at
the project for 40 years, right upI
to the time Of his death a few
years ago.
There are hundreds Of figures
of men, women and children in
bronze and granite, ranging In
size from tiny to mammoth. There
are fountains, a massive mono
lith, and a vast array Of bronze
and stone reptiles. Maybe Vige-
land knew what he wanted to get
across, but no one else knows for
sure. because there are dozens of
schools of thought on what he
was up to.
Knowing that the art world
won't have a moments peace un-
til give my opinion of Vigeland
Park, here it is: Vigeland wanted
to establish an all-time record for
using up the stuff that sculptors
work with. I have yet to see one
thing by Michelangelo that didn't
have more grace and beauty than
the combined works of Vigeland
There! Now I guess the art
world can go about its business
again.
