Democrats Badly Split.
This group has long argued with
their Midwest colleagues that they
must give ground on the civil
rights issue if the party is to
protect its representation in the
great pivotal States. Vital as those
States are to presidential elections
MldWestern Republicans still feel
free to go their individual way
usually South-on questions deal
ing with minorities.
The Democrats, of course, are
badly split on that issue too. But
while Southerners insist on being
Democrats, their attitudes are not
held against Democrats in pivotal
States. Republicans do not get
excused as they are not considered
to be a party in the South.
Civil rights is much less of an
issue in the Midwest and West,
of course. Some politicians, in
Guiding Democrats, believe that
the Presidents actual bills do not
much matter anywhere but that
the argument about them has de-
Veloped in such a way that they
are symbols of an attitude, there
fore still very important.

that is dead wrong. The squarest
shake you can get is not at a
horse race. but at a craps table.
Will someone tell me sometime
convincingly, the difference be-
tween betting on a pair of dice
and on a horse? The roulette
table is barred in Florida, but the
horses go out every day. I defy
any man to prove to me that a
roulette table run right isn't
squarer than a horse.
The entire nation now is ex-
cited about gambling. I am the
first to admit it is in the hands of
buns, killers, shooters and no.
good guys. and I will also say one
thing, if the Federal Government
won't take charge of it. or the
State won't take care of 1t, or the
county won't take care of it,
elected officers are the only ones
to blame. What this country
should do. and when 1 speak of
the country. mean the men who
are running it. is to accept the
simple fact that people have
gambled all their lives and are
going to keep on gambling.
Why Is Horse So Sacred?
While I am on the subject I
would like to say I don't see why
the horse is so sacred. I'll take
that back, because I do know. If
the horse tracks didn't have that
sweet and lovely lobby, that kind
and gentle pay-of. they wouldn't
hold Americas gamblers by their
throats.
Let me go back now to my origi-
nal subject. called hypocrisy
Close all tracks. If you want to be
honest. Make one law and put
teeth in it that a man found

publicly the tragedy which might
befall America if the Russians de-
cide to strike in the near future.
In speeches February l at Bay
lor University in Texas and on
Washington's Birthday at Yale,
Mr.. Symington calmly repeated
the warning that in our present
state of unpreparedness the Rus
slams have a good chance to sur
prise us, causing far greater dam
age than the japanese did at Pearl
Harbor.
In his address at Yale, the Air
Force Secretary stated that since
the end of the war, the U. S. S. r.
has produced far more combat
aircraft than America and other
Western nations combined. Their
aggressive intentions toward us
are obvious.
Mr.. Symington stated that for
the conquest of Eurasia, they do
not need a large number of long
range strategic bombers. Then
he asked: If Americans are sue
cessful in knocking down Is or
even so per cent of the first wave,
where will our cities be when the
other SO per cent get through?"
Bound by Economy Policy.
Mr.. Symington has not publicly
demanded an increase in our de-
tense budget. He could not do
that in the face of the economy
policy adopted by his superior.
Defense Secretary johnson, who
alone is the policy maker in our
Defense Department and who un-
questionably is supported by Pres
ident Truman, the commander in
chief.
In exercising his prerogative to
speak the truth publicly about the
world situation, Mr.. Symington
has provided food for thought for
the people of the United States,
who seldom hear unvarnished
facts on matters connected with
foreign affairs and national de-
fense.
A Russian blitz no longer Is
hypothetical. Alaska, Greenland
and Iceland, vital strategic posi-
tions from which the United
States might be attacked, are

troll. 1t is explained, because she
is fearful that such will impede
or restrict this national develop
ment. Out of her suspicious ma
ture she charges. at least publicly
in her propaganda, as in an article
in Izvestia recently reported in
the New York Times. that this is
the sin of capitalist" nations that
outnumber her and outvote her In
the United Nations.
Deep Seated Feeling
This feeling is said by officials
here to be so deep seated, so in
tricately involved with her domes-
tic economy and politics, that 1t
presents an insurmountable OBJ
stacle to agreement. Maybe it is
But let us examine it.
We, too, have state control OF
atomic energy development under
a policy prescribed by Congress
despite our capitalism and private
enterprise. For the first time in
our history we adopted public con-
troll because of the nature of this
new energy and it's application tc
military as we'll as peacetime pur-
poses. We had failed to do that
for other forms of energy, notably
electricity, but in that field, too
we have applied strict Federal reg
ulation and also have ventured on
a wide front into public develop
ment of electric power. There are
those who wanted private control
OF atomic energy. especially the
private power industry, and still
do, but we have fixed our national
policy.
This gives Russia kinship with
us in this field, and she has ii
also with Great Britain. There is
a common policy for broad-scale
development of atomic energy fol
the benefit of the people of oui
country, England and Russia.
This would seem to offer an ap-
proach in this particular sphere OF
differences over international con-
troll. 1t is suggested that the
bridge for this gap might be found
in such an emissary, for example
as David Lilienthal. He not only
was the directing head for so Iona
of the greatest public power de-
velopment in the world, IVA, but
also has been directing head, anc
original head, of our Atomic En-
ergy Commission and was infuen-
tial in getting this new energy
under public control and, with
Dean Acheson, now Secretary Of
State. in outlining the philosophy
Of international public control. HI
is now free for such service.
Mr.. Lilienthal bespeaks our oWr
best aspirations for development
of national resources, and coulc
speak for us to Russia so thai
Russia might be able to under.
stand. He is the type of person
who should be utilized In this
crisis for civilization.
