Mr.. GobrieIson's Dilemma

william M Boyles decision to resign as chair
man of the Democratic National Committee puts
his Republican opposite number, Guy G. Gabriel
son, very much on the spot.
There is no real parallel between the cases
of Messrs. Boyle and Gabrielson. The latter's
dealings with the RFC were such as any business
man or lawyer might have. In themselves they
were entirely proper and aboveboard. Politically,
however, Mr.. Gabrieson is vulnerable
As result Of his dealings with the RFC,
some Of the steam has been taken out of the
Republican drive against the administration.
If Mr.. Gabrielson stays on, the Democrats will
be able to say that while they have cleaned house
in their national committee, the Republicans
have done nothing. This would not be fair
statement, but it might nevertheless be politically
effective. And that is why Mr.. Gabrielson is on
the spot. He has become political liability of
a sort, and the Republican demands for his
resignation reveal that his party colleagues know
1t. So 1t will not be surprising if Mr.. Gabrielson
after appropriate interval should also discover
that there is some compelling reason why he, too,
must step aside.

that Washington was built as the center of the

For the Senate to ignore this doctrine with

So is it in the higher realm of the

of common sense and is not ordinarily given to
seeing things under the bed. But Mr.. Hoffman
managed to see things in his Freedom House

munism has been weakened by the use Of
methods that tended to make criticism socially
dangerous" that forced conformity through

fellows citizens have been afraid to speak out.
In far too many cases decisions, often in high
places, have been Influenced by fear. In short,
the danger OF Communist penetration and dis
