A Bow to Senator Wherry

The Senate minority leader Mr. Wherry of
Nebraska, was plainly up against it, He had
appointed the two Republican Senators
Hendrickson of New Jersey and Smith of Maine
to the committee which investigated the Mary
land campaign and turned in unanimous re-
port. He had privately commended Senators
Hendrickson and Smith on the committee report
He thought it was good report, and objective.
But when the report was delivered to the
Senate, his position as minority leader demand
ed that he criticize it, for it reflected on Re-
publican Senator. His handling of the subject
was nothing less than masterful. No tongue
was ever stuck in cheek more gracefully than was
Senator WherryS. In mellifluouS terms, soothing
to the SOUL patient and understanding, he ex-
planned that while the report itself was excellent,
in that it did not recommend the expulsion of
Senator Butler, and while the Senators who
made it were motivated by the highest of prin-
cipleS, mistake had been made.
That mistake, he said, was to single out the
campaign of one Senator, Republican, in one
State. That was error-human, understandable
error. But error it was. Senator Wherry is in
favor of clean campaigns He completely agrees
that there should be new rules of conduct for
campaigning Senator's Like others, the Senator
is against sin.
But why begin with Maryland, in 1850? We
cal background of all campaigns" the laws of
all States, the cartoons that were used against
George Washington. This would require not the
work of a mere subcommittee but full COM
mittee, large and adequate staff, a consider
able sum of money that the Senate might not
even approve We would have to go back to the
beginnings Of our Government. But, if all this
were done, we would have better idea of how
to go about writing new rules of conduct for
campaigning Senators. That, said Senator
Wherry, easing himself of the hook, is his. idea
of where the Maryland report erred.
Thus Senator Wherry praised the report,
praised the Senators who made it, praised Sen
ator Butler who was elected praised the desire
to clean up dirt in politics, showed how it could
be done by going back to the beginnings Of time.
And he did it all without disputing the one thing
that the investigation in Maryland pointed out
in such soaring terms-that it was a dirty cam
paign, and something ought to be done.

The Reds in West Germany

There was time when the Communists
seemed to be riding pretty high in West Ger
many, but that time now seems to be definitely
over. At any rate. in his latest quarterly report
to the State Department United States High
Commissioner John j. McCloy has drawn
confident and reassuring picture of a steady
Red decline, the extent of which-if accurately
set forth in the reportcan hardly fail to depress
the Kremlin.
Thus according to Mr.. McCloy, the evidence
is clear that the Communists, though they can
be counted upon to try and try again, have
failed miserably in the big propaganda campaign
that they launched last spring with high ex-
pectations that it would result in soaring away
the West Germans from participation in the
military defense of free Europe. The hope, too,
was to build up enough public pressure to force
Chancellor Adenauer's Bonn government into
phony compromise deal with the Soviet Unions
puppet regime in East Germany.
To that end, with the "Free German Youth"
leading the way with mass demonstrations and
riots in several cities, the Communists, besides
intensifying the savagery and mendacity of their
attacks on the United States and its allies, cut
loose with massive propaganda barrages warn
ing that the people of West Germany would be
inciting the Soviet Union to armed counter
action and inviting war and disaster upon them
effort. simultaneously, in honeyed words, ap-
peals were made over and over again for action
by Bonn to work out an understanding" with
the Kremlin's East German regime in order to
speed up the "uniflcation" Of the whole country
But the net result of all this seems to be
that an aroused West Germany, far from being
frightened or hoodwinked has made clear that
it will have no truck with the East German pup
pets and that it intends to take part-in one
way or another-in the defense of free Europe
In Mr.. McCloys words, the basic Red propa
ganda play on the fear of Soviet attack has
worn thin with growing allied strength. Beyond
that, the Communist line, Communist agencies
Communist subversive moves have been thor
oughly discredted and in some cases outlawed
by the Bonn government with overwhelmingly
popular support
It is significant, moreover, that the Com
munists in West Germany have been steadily
losing ground in elections. That fact plus
Mr.. McCloy's report plainly indicates that
Moscow has no reason to be happy about them,
though it would be mistake to underestimate
their capacity for subversioh and sabotage. AS
for their comrades in East Germany, they too
still constitute big threat, but there are signs
that their recent hate America show in Berlin
may have boomeranged bit-enough so to
cause At least some disPleasure In the Kremlin.

A Tongue-Loshing for Those Politicians
To the Editor Of The Stur:

Twenty-one States want q new con-
stitutional convention to limit income
taxes Why the convention2 Because
Congress would never offer an amend
ment limiting its own taxing power, or
any other power. including its usurped
power to run the general welfare We.
the people. frightened by intolerable
taxes, are insisting on the only other
way of getting the necessary protective
amendment. However. the behavior of
the last two administrations proves
that more than one amendment is
necessary for our protection against
selfish politicians and power-grabbing
bureaucratS.
What an opportunity to further pro-
tect ourselves and get back some Of our
liberties! For example. add clause
stating that the 10th amendment ltre
''powers-not- delegated" clausel means
exactly what it says; and that any poll
tician who flouts 1t or tries to get addi-
tional power shall be sent to the whip
ping post.
Add a clause stating that the whip
ping post is hereby declared to be not a
cruel or unusual punishment.
Add clause requiring all the un-
constitutional departments and bureaus
to be slowly dissolved and their en-
ployes distributed among the constitu-
tional departments.
Add clause penalizing nominally the
head of each Office for each additional
employe he hires and rewarding him
nominally for doing his statutory work
with fewer employees. The way it is now,
the chief gets rewarded for enlarging his
Office force; hence the enormous growth
Of the bureaus.
Add a clause stating that neither Con-
gress nor any Federal agency shall have
power to run the general welfare, said
power belonging to the people them
selves: and that the power TO promote

Vrginio's Honor System

few days ago Richmond Times Dispatch
columniSt wrote an article that was critical Of
collegiate honor systems, and in which he said
that there has been considerable sentiment"
at the University of Virginia for abolishing the
honor system.
The storm broke in the next mail Letters
from Virginia students denounced the article and
vigorously championed the honor system as it
functions at Charlottesville The honor system
has been in effect-and effective-at Virginia for
more than 100 years. Nor is there any ground
for doubt that the undergraduates respect it and
want to retain it.
All.of which brings to mind the recent Incl
dent of the sanity code"-the code under which
college athletes were supposed to work at bona
fide jobs in return for scholarships. The sanity
code was unavoidable and was largely honored in
the breach. But not at Virginia. President
Darden took the correct position that athletes
in the main could not play football, keep up
with their academic work and also hold legit-
innate jobs. In word. he said that Virginia
could not comply with the code, and since it
could not comply it refused to pretend that it
was complying. The intercollegiate athletic
authorities stormed and shed many a hypo-
critical tear. Virginia was threatened with ex-
pulSion from the intercollegiate family and with
being blacklisted by other schools.
The threat was a serious one. But Mr.. Darden
stuck by his guns, and in the end his view pre-
vailed because the representatives Of other
schools knew it was the only honest position
that could be taken at any university that gives
athletic scholarships 1t might be said, and,
indeed, it was said at the time that President
Darden had set wholesome example for other
universities. He did more, however. He also
set wholesome example for the students at
the University of Virginia, and that, no doubt,
is one reason why the honor system works there.

Add clause requiring personal re-
sponsibility in Government.
Add clause blocking dishonest men

Add a clause providing that any poll
tician who tells lies or half-truths In
public shall be sent to the whipping post.
Write preamble to each clause tell
ing why. and a penalty. A law without
a penalty is useless. Impeachment is
supposed to be the penalty for flouting
the Constitution, but it does not work
any too well.
