Should Withdraw Demand.
The Secretary clearly hasn't got
what 1t takes. This being so, he
should withdraw his demand for
those two designations, allow the
Senate committees threatened in
vestigation-if the committee
really means ito proceed and
tender to the President his own
resignation.
The irony in the situation is
that the Secretary caved in just
at the moment when the tide
had started to turn against the
reckless head-hunters on The Hill
Senator Margaret Chase Smith
and six of her gentlemen COL
leagues already were preparing to
electrify the country with their
declaration of conscience" their
demand for an end to political
exploitation of fear. bigotry, ig-
norance and intolerance.
And now Senator Thye OF
Minnesota is gathering support
for a proposal that Republican
Senators be called in conference
to formulate a party policy on
the issue. The Minnesota Sena-
tor, one of those who signed Mrs
Smiths declaration, is seeking, OF
course, a party policy different
from that followed thus far under
the left-handed leadership OF
Senators Wherry. Millikin and
Taft.
In this changing atmosphere,
the Secretary might have found
it wasn't necessary to be terribly
brave. Only just little bit.

Clyde M. Reed, jr., son of the

also have quit Gov. Carlton for

The real problem of the Arm
campaign is the third man in the
race, Lieut.. Gov. Frank L. Haga-
man. Mr.. Hagaman thought he
had the green light when the
leaders flashed it to Mr.. Arm. He
swears he's in the race to stay.
Politicos say Mr.. Arm and Mr..
Hagaman will split the populous
eastern Kansas vote for the bene-
fit of Mr.. Mayberry, a rural hero.
With all their candidates. the
Democrats lack one really widely
known, magnetic campaigner for
either Governor or Senator. Be-
cause they do not like National
Committeeman Carl Rice, who
wants to go. to the Senate. the
Administration is dabbling in the
picture. Mr.. Rice stayed with
Henry Wallace at Chicago in 1914
when Harry Truman was nomi-
mated for Vice President: he COM
pounded the felony by flirting
with the draft Eisenhower move

Since he has enemies in the party
within the State, too, an upset is
possible.
Kansas believes that the White
House put former Assistant Post
master General Paul Aiken into
the Senate race. It is also re-

trying to draft Larry Ryan, Sec

campaigner who would strengthen

lawyer, is not "the" attorney for
the Polish Embassy. Along with
other prominent law firms he was
asked by the Polish Embassy for
counsel in several specific meas
ures involving international law
One question was the status of the
Polish liner Batory. on which Ger
hardt Eisler escaped and whether
the United States Government had
the legal right to seize the vessel
for harboring a fugitive from just
ice.
Real Blame in Own Courts.
It certainly is dubious whether
there is any law under which a
ship, train, or plane, can be seized
for transporting a fugitive and
it is matter in which any diplo-
matically accepted government
may seek legal counsel. Presum-
ably the United States is Jealous
to uphold international law. And
it might be recalled that the
British courts, who cannot be sus-
pected Of symathy with Eisler
found they could not, under Brit
ish law. return Eisler to US. The
real blame. to my mind, lies in
our own courts, which let this
dangerous agent out on bail and
permitted him to harangue audi
ences and then escape.
Contrary to charges made, no
attorney representing the Polish
government arranged for Polish
Communists to board the ship be-
fore the United States Govern
ment completed its Interrogation
Of witnesses, officers, and crew
Also, I learn, Mr.. Littell consulted
the Justice Department and was
informed that purely legal counsel
as differentiated from political ad-
vice is exempt from the provisions
covering foreign agents.
The same Polish government
has, in the past, received legal
counsel from Mr.. Acheson's law
firm.
Now, Mr.. Littell is chairman OF
the committee on foreign econo-
mic cooperation of the interna-
tional law section of the Ameri-
can Bar Association. He is
shortly departing for London tc
preside over meeting Of a simi-
lar committee of the International
Bar Association. The work of both
committees is to study obstacles
to the flow of free investment ano
trade with a view to expanding
the prosperity of the democracies
But. like others before him, Mr.
Littell is heralded in advance al
a possible subversive!
OF course, such random libels
and insinuations play right into
Communist hands.

There is no question that such an
Investigation would play the devil

Obviously this is unwise. Black

What these Senators have done
once they will be encouraged to
do again. And the morale in the

presumably sought to maintain,
will become increasingly low as

What About Fat Men?
The subject I am coming back
to is weight on airplanes. This
is Of particular interest to me
at the moment because I'll soon
be taking off in an airplane. and
my instructions from the airline
company read that I'll be limited
to 66 pounds Of baggage. That's
all right if everyone weighed the
same, but what about fat men?
I'm fat myself, but not real fat.
Yet there1l be passengers on my
plane who are. I'll probably weigh
in at Idlewild at around 162, but
there will be at least 10 men on
the plane with me who'll tip the
scales at 215 or more.
But they'll get the 66-pound
luggage allowance just as I do
Why charge for shirts and not
blubber? Why make a man pay
for shoes. shorts. and cuff links.
and let third chins ride for free?
Airline companies aren't the
only companies who do not diff
ferentiate between little men,
medium sized men, and out-sized
men. Consider the companies
which make weighing scales. For
a penny a man who weighs 800
pounds gets the same treatment
as a man who has to keep his hat
on to weigh as much as a sparrow
That's not fair. I'll argue that
point as long as I live. A 150-
pound man does not give an air
plane or scales the same wear and
tear as a 300-pound man.
Funny to Begin With.
You know what I'm tempted te
do? Go to a place that makes
such things and buy myself q
suitcase that I can wear unde!
my shirt, and in that suitcase put
the SO or so pounds of clothes
will need on a three-month trir

but I look funny to begin with
It'll make me waddle when I wall
up the steps of the plane, but al

I'll be neat and tidy and what
