But since Representative Helen
Gahagan Douglas, a friend of
Mrs. Roosevelt and a fighting
Fair Dealer. announced that she
would run against him in the pri-
mary, all sorts of annoying things
have been happening to Senator
Downey. Sometimes it almost
seems to him as if the Democrats
here thought the election was
over and Mrs. Douglas already

Der.
Most Embarrassing Point.
What most embarrasses the
Senator at this point is the case
of Ernest A. Toland, acting
United States attorney for the
southern district of California.
Senator Downey. in accordance
with time -honored custom, nomi-
mated Mr.. Toland for permanent
status and the Justice Depart
ment cleared him to. the White
House.
But the weeks go by and the
Toland nomination has failed to
emerge. Meanwhile, potent po-
litical figures like Ed Pauley and
George Luckey. Truman manager
in California. have been calling
on the President without appar-
entity lifting a finger for Mr.. To-
land or the Senator.
Then this week Majority Leader
Lucas forgot to remember that he
had promised Democrat Downey
some 40 to so days notice before
taking up the controversial Cali
fornia Arizona water bill. Sem
ator Lucas and the Democratic
caucus agreed to put it on the
calendar this week following de-
bate on the Lodge electoral COL
lege amendment.
Responding to Senator Downey's
outraged complaints, the bill has
been moved ahead one week. But
this advertisement that Senator
Downey's int-----,5 800 / 1-nin1-
portant had already reached Cali

Meanwhile Mrs. Douglas de-
murely stepped into the Pres

New. Scheme for Money.
AS matter of fact, I am
ready to return to the United
States because l have one of my
many making schemes in
mind, and I think that this one,
for a change, is going to work.
When I land at Idlewild Air
port no one on earth will be any
fresher from the British Isles
than I. The other so or so pas
sengers will be even with me, but
l am hoping and praying that
none of them has thought to
launch Immediately on a nation
wide lecture tour.
I feel that I am eminently
qualified to speak on Britain. I
wasn't there for just day. or
just a week. but I was there for
TWO weeks. And unlike so
many journalists didn't hang
around No. 10 Downing street
with Attlee, or No. II Downing

Stafford Cripps. or run down into

head is simply whirling with facts
about pubs-I don't mean pubs,
I mean the public OF Great Britain.
In case your civic program is
booked solid for the spring, do not
hesitate to throw out violinist OF
a piano team or Lilienthal and his
atom stuff to make room for me.
In Full Costume.
Not only am I going to speak
but am going to appear in full
costume. I learned the pulling
power Of a costume when I was
a youngster. My father was
preacher and we always had two
or three returned missionaries
talk before the congregation each |
year. If they came from China
they dressed like Chinese, if from
India they dressed like Indians,
and so on around the globe.
They had twice the appeal they
would have had had they ap-
peared simply in the native cos
tune Of the U. S. A.
During the course of my lecture
I will change costumes half a
dozen times. In discussing the
possible naturalization Of grouse
shooting boxes I will wear a
grouse IN my hat, sit on a shoot
ing stick. and occasionally fire
volley from a shotgun over the
heads of my listeners.
In discussing the rights and
wrongs of the naturalization of
the railroads I will wear a con-
ductor's suit and swing. a red
lantern.
When talking about socialized
medicine in Britain I will wear a
Van Dyke beard, a bedside man.

the captain of Constantine brown
a ship, the Secretary of State is
responsible for the conduct Of
State Department affairs.
At The Hague conference of At
lantic Pact nations last week,
which was attended by Defense
Secretary johnson and Gen. Omar
Bradley, the top military men OF
this defensive coalition advocated
the leasing of air bases from
Spain, if not formal inclusion OF
frances country in the Western
group. The result was negative
because of the opposition of Brit
ish Defense Minister Shinwell.
This does not mean. however,
that the American Government
should maintain its old attitude
of antagonism toward Spain.
Mission Not Cleared.
While Mr.. johnson and Gen.
Bradley were at The Hague. the
three American chiefs of staff
were on goodwill tours in Europe.
Admiral Forrest Sherman in his
official capacity of Chief of Naval
Operations visited Portugal among
other countries.
In spite of our general staff's
keen interest in improving rela-
tions with Spain. because Of po-
tentially available air and naval
bases. Admiral Sherman was not
cleared by the State Department
for an official visit to Spain be-
cause, it is assumed, this would
have created a bad feeling in
France and Britain.
Technically there should be no
restrictions on top Army. Navy
and Air Force commanders going
to Spain. The 1946 resolution of

and make fresh start in freedom
and opportunity; but the suspi-
cion and prejudlces all about us
today have risen up like a poison
cloud to dim that tradition.
Now, thanks to combination
of Republicans and Democrats in
the Senate, that cloud has been
dispelled somewhat by passage OF
a fair and just measure similar to
that approved by the House year
ago, and soon we will have a new
law that will continue our tradi-
ton.
Road Block Broken.
One man, chiefly. was the road
block, Senator Pat McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada, eXerting his
power as chairman of the Jud;ci-
airy Committee. Some of mis- COL
leagues on the committee finally
took things in their own hands
and got the backing of the Senate
to break through the barrier.
That is encouraging.
We have other traditions. and
cherished rights. Among them
! are the freedom to think, speak
and write as we please and to
assemble peacefully, and that very
jealousy guarded heritage that a
man is innocent until proven
guilty by a jury OF his peers.
Another man. also in the Sen
ate. has invaded these rights.
1t is symptomatic OF the
psychosis Of fear and suspicion
now abroad in our country that
many people rushed in. without
waiting for any proof whatever,
to cheer on the witch-hunt of
this man, Senator Joe Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin, in his
slander of innocent persons, his
questioning of the right of persons
to their own opinions about con-
troversial issues. his imputation
of wrongdoing because of men,
bership in organizations which,
itself. is involved in the right Of
assembly.
But now second. sober thought

is beginning to assert itself as our
people find out, through theil
avenues of information. how the
Senator has been discredited or
every. score in his reckless charges
about Communists in the State
Department and have recognized
the dangers inherent in all this
both here and abroad.
Tactics Confusing.
That is encouraging.
His tactics, it is true, we're con-
fusing and he was clever, charging
wildly and, when his wild charges
were successfully refuted. charg-
ing again and always promising
something new tomorrow. It
was hard for the citizen to see
all this clearly at the time be-
cause of the dust Joe Mccarthy
raised with his dizzy pace, though
that is familiar tactics in ire
sponsible politicians.
But the "tomorrows' have
about run out on him.
The citizen has a part in all
this, a responsibility in our de-
mocracy and in preservation OF
rights guaranteed to him. He
might as we'll know now that this
isn't the last of all of this. For
this is a political year. He will

Senator"
9 Senator Mccarthy has a long
way to travel to overcome the ef-
feet of Owen Lattimore's day in
court. At no point did DR.. Latti-
more's defense falter. Now Sen
ator Tydings has demolished the
escape hatch-the secret FBI files
which Senator Mccarthy had
prepared for himself. knowing
that President Truman would not
release them.
Still to Accept Challenge.
Senator Mccarthy has still to
accept the challenge Of DR.. Latti-
more. Haldore Hanson and others
he has accused, to repeat his
charges outside the Senate where
he is immune from prosecution. A
few hours before Senator Tydings
cleared DR.. baltimore. Senator
Mccarthy had told reporters he
would accept those challenges if
the FB1 files were opened.
Unless Senators Tydings, Lodge,
Green and Mcmahon are liars,
Senator Mccarthy is presenting
President Truman with what must
be a very enticing temptation.
Senator Mccarthy is due before
the committee with anti-Latti-
more witnesses Tuesday. Demo-
Gratis understand that they have
little to fear from any names so
far handed to the FBI. But
remembering Alger Hiss and
Whitaker Chambers pumpkin
papers. they are biding their time.
1t is possible that Senator Nc
Carthy hopes in turn that some
body can produce a magic pump
kin for him.
He is showing signs Of strain.
Senator Hickenlooper who has
loyalty kept the lines of inquiry
open for his fellow-Republican
announced as the baltimore hear
ing opened that he would ask
questions submitted by Senator
Mccarthy. In the late afternoon.
Senator Hickenlooper recanted; he
said he had misunderstood-that
Senator Mccarthy did not so de-
sire. 1t is understood that the
misunderstanding provoked some
incandescent language before the

Mr.. Tydings looked solemn
as he continued:
In the presence Of J. Edgar
Hoover. four out Of five members
of this committee had presented
to them a complete summary Of
your FBI file Mr.. Hoover
had prepared it personally
it was quite detailed - ." The
room was very silent.
1T was the conclusion of all
those present that there was

visiting Spain if their presence
is acceptable to the Spanish gov

The State Department. how

tions that American military Of

An American task feet COM
posed of the aircraft carrier Boxer
and two destroyers for the last
two weeks has been on a goodwill
tour. This force visited Ipdo-
China and Thailand and recently
has been in Southern Korea. At
Saigon, Indo-China. it was re-
ceived with faint cheers by some
sections Of the population. par
ticularly the harassed Europeans.
and by mortar fire from the parti-
sans of Ho Chi Mini. the Soviet
puppet who is trying to put Indo-
China under Moscow domination.
The task fleet received a luke
warm welcome in Thailand. But
Formosa. where the presence of
American naval units would boil
ster the morale of the 6 million
natives and several hundred thou
sand Chinese soldiers. was left
out Of the itinerary.
On such goodwill visits the COM
mander of the naval group re-
ceives his orders direct from the
Navy Department. But the timer
ary, except in very rare cases, is
established in consultation with
the State Department, which con-
siders the diplomatic angles be-
fore giving it's clearance to call
at certain ports.
Whenever the American Gov
ernment wants to remind other
maritime nations Of the United
States power on the seas it sends
warships on courtesy visits. These
ships and their crews frequently
perform more satisfactory func-
tions than the diplomats them
selves. Diplomats talk about Amer

convincing.
