Thomas L. Stokes:

The Senate has a splendid
opportunity to perform long
overdue service by exploring
exclusively compaign expendi-
" lures and campaign tactics OF
last November's election. Now
that a beginning has been
made the public should insist
ON thorough job, for it GER
tainly needs doing.
. The people are entitled to
the answers to two questions:
i, /. How much does a United
States Senator cost at present
rates and who pays for him?
Q. What sort of inSidious and
false campaign material, and
how much, is used. and what
are its sources and who pays
for it?
This is good time to do the
lob. which has not been done
now for a long time, because,
in respect to the first question,
1t is evident from preliminary
reports that campaign costs
1have reached a new high; and,
in respect to the second, it is
obvious also from preliminary
inquiries that campaign meth
.1ods have, in some instances,
reached a new low.
This last is amply demon
.,strated, for instance, in Mary
lands November election where
a start is being made by a
Privileges and Elections sub
Committee of the Senate Rules
and Administration Committee,
oof which Senator Monroney.
Democrat. of Oklahoma, is
chairman. Here campaign tao
i.tics is the chief subject OF
inquiry.
The LID was blown of that
.nauseous brew by former Sen
ator Willard Tydings, Democrat.
,of Maryland. who revealed at
the outset, in shocking detail,
stha tactics used against him IN
his unsuccessful race with John
Marshell Butler. Republican, OF
maryland, who now occupies
the Senate seat.
Mr.. Tydings expressed the
4hope that the committee would
institute criminal libe. pro-
ceedings here against those IN
the Butler campaign response
BILE for the libel the ex-senator
alleged in q tabloid newspaper
printed here OF which he said
100000 copies were distributed
to Maryland voters in the last
few days before election, If the
committee found his charges to
be true. The facts he recited
about this publication already
have been established by COM
mittee investigators, including
printing of the sheet at the
plant of the Washington Times
Herald, owned by Col. Robert r.

however. confirm previous un-
official speculation that the
Kremlin is determined to strike
at Germany this year, with such
power that no resistance would
be possible.
This is in conflict. however.
with the military experts. who
forecast an attack on Yugo-
slavia by the recently greatly
increased forces Of the Soviet
satellites.
Only a few weeks ago we
heard the warning that Marshal
Tito would be attacked this
spring. At the same time the
possibility of another Korea IN
Germany, with an attack
launched by the Eastern Ge:-
man puppet forces, was dis
counted.
Washington observers who
have watched the various esti-
mates a year ago-when top
ranking Pentagon officials and
the highest Administration
spokesman discounted any pos
sibility of attack in Korea-now
have become skeptical of the
appraisals of the official spe-
cialists.
In their recent testimony be-
fore the Senate. Armed Services
and Foreign Relations Commit
tees not a single general or
admiral spoke about Soviet ag-
erosion in other terms than
within the next three or four
years." This may indicate wish
full thinking, however, since our
general staff estimates that
within that period we and our
Allies will fully prepare our
selves to meet the Red on
slaught. At present we are not
SO prepared.
The most logical observations
as to the plans of the U. S. 8. r.
all guess work, Of course
come from Tokyo and Korea.
American military and naval
men there believe that Russia
will not hazard any undertaking

weak Western military forces
may be-until the Far Eastern

Few doubt that then and per-
haps in between times, just to

he will think of other things
to do. The junior Senator from
Texas is irked by reports in a
magazine article that he is run
ming for Vice President. In the
first place no one ever admsts
to running for less than the top
of the ticket: besides the john
son aspirations are plainly
higher. His preparedness sub
committee will take care of his
press for a very long time; at
least it is being run intelligently.
Another ambitious young
Senator has not been quite so
fortunate personally with an
other subcommittee which is
extremely useful. too. Senator
Kefauver. chairman OF the
Crime subcommittee, has
learned the hard way that
everybody is against crime ex-
cept in his own district around
election time. Some Democrats.
notably the former majority
leader, Scott Lucas, have cut
him, blaming him in part for
their defeats because he eX-
posed scandals in their areas.
The Senator from Tennessee
is philosophical. The job had
to be done and time takes care
of a great many things purely
political.

Time Arrives to End Korea War

Communists have withdrawn
from all Korea. There are va
rious guarantees which must be
obtained against a recurrence
of aggression. The Communist
government of China, moreover,
must undergo a period of pro-
baton for at least a year, and
the U. N. must be the final judge
of whether the Communist re-
gime has gained legitimately
the right to represent the Chi
nese people.
Certainly it would be in or
der to insist on free elections in
China supervised by the U. NJ.
as has been the case in other
countries where new govern
mentS have been established.
The u. N. must not have any
inferiority complex about han
ding. this business. The fact
is that the Communists are be-
ing given a terrible beatlng, ana
it isn't humane for the U. N.
forces to continue the slaughter
for one moment longer than is
absolutely essential to gain the
desired detectives. Whether or
not these can be achieved by an
appeal to the Red Chinese to
withdraw Immediately from Ko-
rea, the record should show that
at least such an appeal was
made. For, if the appeal is re-
jected, the responsibility for the
continuance of the destruction
of human life will rest on the
Communists and they can hard
ly pose before the world any
longer as the partisans of peace.

Dovid Lawrence:

The time has come to put an
end to the war in Korea. 1t can
be done by exerting the moral
force of the whole world. Spe-
officially, it calls for direct APP
peal to the Communists by the
President of the United States.
in the name of humanity, to
help stop the useless slaughter
of human beings.
The United Nations forces
are destroying tens of thousands
of persons in one of the bloodi-
est episodes in history. The
napalm bomb-in many re-
spectsr more devastating to an
army than the atomic bomb
is burning alive enemy soldiers
! and innumerable civilians in
Korea. This is perhaps a re-
prisal for the torture or shoot
ing of American boys when cap
tured as prisoners.
The u. N. forces can go on in
definitely killing Communist
soldiers and sympathizers. There
would be no reason for this if
the Communist leaders would
agree now to withdraw all their
troops across the Yalu River.
Once the Communists have
withdrawn from Korea itself.
the way is open to discuss the
maintenance of peace il, Korea
and the establishment of stable
conditions there under the aus
pieces of the U. N. After stable
conditions have been attained,
the U. N. forces could be gradu-
ally reduced.

Henry McLenore:

MUNICH have just crossed

between New York and Munich
he keeps as busy as the motors.

I tell you that from the time we
