Constantine Brown:

Gen. Matthew Ridgway is
reported being prodded by the
Pentagon to speed up the cease
fire negotiations in Korea.
This is necessary, it is said in
usually informed quarters, be-
cause OF the mounting dis.
content among our princi-
pal Western Allies-Great Brit
ain and France-at the slow
ness of the truce negotiations.
A section of the British
Labor Party is pressing for a
cessation of hostilities. The
Conservatives. who have only
a flimsy majority in Parlia-
ment, are worried about this
d development. Should the Lib
erals and some Of their own
members support even tacitly
the dissatisfaction of the
Laborites, Mr.. Churchill's gov
ernment might find itself in a
difficult position vis-a-vis the
United States and in a pre-
dicament at home.
A similar situation is said to
exist in France where the fate
of the Pleven cabinet hangs on
a thin thread. In Paris the Ko-
rean matter is less acute. But
the French government. be-
sieged by a number Of serious
problems such as the war in
Indo- China. the crisis in Mo-
rocco and the economic crisis
at home, feels that If the Ko-
rean affair were settled, America
could devote itself more ener-
getically to Western European
problems.
Recent dispatches from Lon
don indicate that not only the
politicians in Great Britain but
also the general public question

negotiators in Korea and are
wondering whether it is not as
much their fault as the Com
munists' for the delay in these
conversations. which are COM
pared with Penelope's embroi.
derry. Our Western allies con-
slider the Far East OF secondary
importance and feel that we
are acting self1shly and without
real regard for the major needs
Of our European friends.
This explains the lack of pub

that nearly 5000 Americans and,
necessarily, much smaller
number Of British, French and
Turkish prisoners Of war had

prominent figures outside of
Congress. 1t never got to a vote.
The Hays program provides
an FEPC commission in the
Labor Department, advisory in
nature. with no compulsory or
punitive authority. 1t would
work with State and local agen-
cies to eliminate discrimination
in employment. The FEPC is
the high boiling point of South
ern antagonism. as is we'll
known. and also is the focus of
most activity by ardent civil
rights proponents. 1t becomes
the very center of compromise.
The Hays program also calls
for a Federal anti-lynching law
to become applicable when
States are unable to cope with
an outrage, and a constitutional
amendment to abolish the poll
tax.
Ideas embodied in the Hays
program are among those be-
ing canvassed in compromise
parleys. Significantly, Senator
Richard B. Russell of Georgia,
hitherto a leader in Senate
filibusters against the Presi-
dents program, could go along
with the Hays program. This
able Southern leader has ex-
hibited interest in a compro-
mise, and in memorable de-
bate some time ago in the
Senate he and Senator Paul
Douglas, Democrat, of Illinois,
who is mentioned among possi-
bilities for the Democratic NOM
ination If President Truman
does not run again, found con-
siderable common ground.
A key in, any compromise is
Senator Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota, who led the success
full fight in the 1948 convention
for strong civil rights plank
in the platform endorsing the
Presidents program. His re-
bellion overturned the recon-
mendation of the Resolutions
Committee for the milder plank
embodied in the party's 1914
platform. That surprise victory

as far as Britain is concerned.
The London government recog-
nizes the official existence of the
Peiping government. Under such
circumstances the Foreign Of
flee could at least have protested
the violation of all international
agreements and Of the Geneva
conventions. It could have
warned Peiping-for the sake Of
Western unity. since 1t is obvious
that diplomatic threats are Of
10 avail with nations behind the
Iron Curtain-that its crimes
against the most elementary
standards of war would call for
withdrawal of the recognition
extended last year.
The other allies with even
very limited stake in Korea
could have then joined the
British steps. But nothing of the
sort has happened so far. In

self thoroughly defiant to all
our approaches. Gen. Ridgway
has no alternative but to follow
literally the directives from
Washington. which are said to
urge him to step up the conclu-
sion of a cease-fire agreement.
The supreme commander in the
Far East unquestionably will
follow these directives. He is be-
lieved to feel that it is up to the
administration to be mindful of
the American public reaction to
the premature" allegations of
Col. James M. Hanley which are
reported to have been kept
secret principally because their
publication might have rocked

been murdered in cold blood by
the Chinese and Korean Com
munists. So far neither the
British nor the French govern
ment has given any sign Of
anger against the perpetrators
of these crimes.
In some quarters in Washing
ton it was believed that Mr..
Churchill's cabinet would take
cognizance Of the atrocities at
least to threaten the Peiping
government with withdrawal
of Britains recognition. Mr..
Churchill is regarded as a real
ist and, since the Chinese pup
pet government has never ac-
knowledged London's diplomatic
gesture, Britain would not lose
much by at least threatening
to cancel that one-sided recog-
milton.
It is obvious that neither the
United States nor its associates
in the Korean police action"
has any actual means of retalia-
ton against any Peiping bar
barism. Very few here have any
idea Of using the atomic bomb
for reprisal. This country is Of
ficially fighting against forces of
North Korea-a Muscovite pup
pet whose existence we have
never recognized-and against
the more massive forces of the
Chinese Communists, who in
turn do not admit that they are
waging any kind of war in Ko-
rea. They claim that the troops
are only volunteers helping their
North Korean brothers to resist
"imperialist American aggres-
sion." Under international law,
Gen. RidgWay's deputies are ne
gotiating with individuals repre-
senting brigand bands and not
governments whose word may
have some meaning.
The situation is different in

either Government or party.
Nevertheless. the Democrats are
becoming restive in face of the
lack of knowledge of Mr.. Tru-
mans intentions. 1t is quite pos
sible that if the announcement
OF his decision is delayed for
long after Congress convenes in
January a GOOD many party
members will become not only
restive but unruly.
So far Senator Taft has set
the pace in the presidential
campaign. His early-bird tactics
have forced the Eisenhower
supporters to advance their
time table by a month or more.
The formal announcement that
the young, vigorous and hand

Lodge, jr., would head the
Eisenhower organization here
was made now to put Republi-
cans on notice that the Eisen-
hover supporters mean busi-
ness. Actually it will be some

posed and punished, but let not
partisan pecksniffs affect a
'holier than thou attitude. The
corrupting currency may be
found in Democratic satchels.
One who is corrupt is as faith
less to his party as to his Gov
ernment. Guilt is personal and
corruption knows no party.
To-day. counsel Of eminent
ability and unimpeachable in
tegrity, selected from both the
great parties by a Republican
President, are taking appropri-
ate legal proceedings by which
all the questions which have
been raised as to the leasing of
the public domain will be
threshed out. every public in
terest will be safeguarded and
every guilty person punished.
These cases are in the courts
where they belong and the
courts will decide. 1t would be
foolish, false and unpatriotic to
breed distrust either of the in
tegrity of the Government or
of the soundness of American
life. That would be to assail
the honor of the hosts of off,
cials devoting their lives with
unselfish fidelity to the country's
interests"
William Howard Taft, an ex-
President at that time, thought
. the speech was las exceptional as
the one you delivered for me in
1908" President Calvin Coolidge,
who had come in from the vice
presidency in 1923 on the death
Of Warren Harding. was re-
elected in a landslide in 1924
because, as Author Pusey says,
the voters must have concluded
that the administration had

successfully purged itself of the
corruption it. had inherited"
But the Democratic speakers
of 1852 will not be able to use
the above quotation unless Presi-
dent Truman does what Calvin
Coolidge did. For the latter
appointed two prominent law
yerS, one a Democrat and the
other a Republican. as special
prosecutors reporting to him in
stead Of to the Attorney General.
The result was that q Repub-
lican cabinet officer who had
received a 100000 bribe In q
satchel was put in jail. as were
others who held high official
positions under a Republican
administration.
Mr.. Truman thus far has not
taken such a dramatic or far
reaching step. The prosecuting
machinery Of the Truman ad-
ministration has numbered along
slowly. prodded largely by dis
closures made by Congressional
investigating committees. In
1924 the Congressional investi-
cations really first brought out
the oil scandals, but Mr..
Coolidge was alert enough to
act with stern efficiency in
prosecuting. letting the chips fail
where they might.
II the Truman administration
does the same thing, it can live
down the scandals now being
uncovered. Righteous indigna-
ton alone will not do the trick.
That Hughes speech lies ready
for use by the Democratic
speakers-provided their Presi-
dent does exactly what a Repub-
lican President did in somewhat
the same circumstances in 1924.

Thomas [. Stokes:
Accord Is Possible on Civil Riohts
Compromise of 1882 May Be Result of Efforts
To Head Off Southern Rev oIt Over FEPC

What may become known in
our political history as the COM
promise Of 1852 is under nego-
tiation.
It is going on within the
Democratic Party and involves
the controversial civil rights
program.
The aim is to minimize agi-
tation within the party over the
racial issue. reduce the preju-
dice appeal exploited by the
Dixiecrats and weaken that po-
litical movement, and bring the
South back into the party. The
means would be a modification
of President Truman's program
for discussion in the next ses-
sion Of Congress before the con-
vention, and for a compromise
plank in the party's 1852 plat
form. The compromise envis-
aged would retain the essential
principles of the Truman civil
rights program. but on a mod
Grated basis that it is believed
would satisfy a majority of the
Southern people. 1t would be
presented to other elements of
the party as a practicable. at
tainable program that still
would mean progress and might
unity the party for the stiff
fight expected in 1852.
1t is the subject of private
discussions among key party
figures South and North. to
which, however, President Tru-
man, himself. is not party.
Thus far the negotiators are
acting independently of him.
The discussions recently have
been intensified because of the
new Dixiecrat threat. At the
same time, the compromise ne
gotiations have got encourage
ment from the failure of the
revived Dixiecrat movement
thus far to come forward with
concrete plans or find cham
pion about whom to rally.
Truman leaders in the South
have capitalized this vacuum
and are planning to move into
1t, as was exemplified by the
initiative they took at the re-
cent Southern Governors con-
ference at Hot Springs. Ark
The projected compromise is
one weapon, along with renewed
emphasis on what the New
Deal-Fair Deal has accom-
plished economically for the
South.
The compromise movement is
a gradual development which
began some time ago.
A longtime sponsor of COM
promise in Congress has been the
earnest, sincere, able and pro-
gressive Representative Brooks
Hays, Democrat, of Arkansas
He presented compromise bill
In the last Congress-the 81st-
which aroused widespread in

support of many Southern Dem
ocrats. as well as some Repub-
licans, in Congress, and pro-
voking attention also amonl
