Hirohito and the Reds

Early last year, at about the same time that
the Soviet Union let loose with some ridiculous
propaganda demanding that Emperor Hrohito
be tried as a war criminal, the Kremlin directed
Cominform aSsailed Japans Communists for be-
Ing too namby-pamby in their behavior. Not
long thereafter, as If acting on orders from
Moscow, they began to bestir themselves, and
ever since then periodically, they have been act
ing tough and creating disturbances of various
kinds.
The latest of these disturbances have been
designed to discredit the Emperor in as many
places as possible on his current state tour of
Japan. At Kyoto for example, the Communists
have succeeded in staging a disorderly demon
stration in which hundreds of heckling students
sang the Red Internationale to him. Similarly,
at OtSu they have caused quite a commotion
by plastering the walls of buildings with posters
crying Down With Hirohito" and reviling him
for "squandering the peoples money on this
meaningless trip"-posters that the shocked resi-
dents of the city managed to tear down before
his arrival.
To use favorite word of the Kremlin this
hooliganism is obviously directed toward single
iectiVe-namely the undermining of imperial
institutions. The Emperor-regarded by great
numbers of Japanese as divine-is individually
the countrys greatest unifying and stabilizing
force. BY showing him irreverance and con-
tempt therefore, by openly affronting him, by
startling or even horrifyng the general public
with bold displays of disrespect toward him.
the Communists can hope that gradually bit by
bit, his name and person will be deglamorized
in way that will help to weaken national unity
and stability
From the Kremlns standpoint, however
such a course of action-like the propaganda
seeking to brand Hirohito as war criminal
is not without risks. Although it may appeal
to considerable numbers of younger japanese
1t has boomerang possibilities. BY and large
the people of the country-and that includes all
age groups-have genuine respect for their i'm
perial institutions and personages. One of these
days the Communists may we'll find their hoo]i-
g2nism turning back on them and hitting them
In the teeth.

Although Republican, I would like
to state my general agreement with the
contents of Katherine ONeill's letter
November 13 in which she points out
that Senator Lodges concern for conf
dence in the State Department comes
rather late, because a very great deal
OF that confidence was destroyed by Mr..
Lodges own party"
Furthermore. would like to say that
am indeed disguised with the tactics of
such Senators as Taft, Hickenlooper.
Wherry, Jenner. Butler. and certainly
Mccarthy.
Miss ONeill certainly stated the issue
correctly when she said McCarthys
slanderous antics could not alone have
been responsible for the damage that
has been done and is still being done to
the Nation. Certainly, these political
individuals are using the lowest means
possible to win votes. A short time ago.
Senator Taft said he would back Nc
Carthy should the latter win the sena-
torlal nomination in Wisconsin. When
Truman described Mccarthy as "a Krem-
lin asset one still recalls Taft's quick
defense Of the Wisconsin junior Senator.
More recently, Representative Joe Martin
pointed out that although Mccarthy
might have overstated his case some
times. that he has done much to rid
the Government of Communists" also
recall reading Republican Senate Leader
Wherry's statement that Mccarthy had
done the United States great service"
All this adds up to one thing, in nv
mind, namely, the use of this individual
as an instrument for getting votes.
Frankly. I am disguised no end at the
insistence of the individuals named
above in describing Mccarthy as a great
American doing great service to the
United States.
The memory of the Tydings-Butler
senatorial campaign in Maryland, and
the attempted smear of that great
American, Gen. George c. Marshall, is
too fresh in my mind to forgive the
above-named Senators for their defense
of the demagogue, Mccarthy I sincerely
hope, for the good Of the Nation. that
the voters of Wisconsin do not send Nc
Carthy to Washington for second time.
Just Republican.

IsrueI's Vote on Red China

When one considers the millions col
lected each year for Israel as Jewish
relief here in the United States. plus a
recent loan from our Government. plus
s25 million grant offered the Arab
victims of the new state of Israel. isn't
1t odd that Israel should vote to seat
Red China In the U. N. along with
Russia, her satellites and unfriendly
India?
A Communists heart is given to the
Kremlin. but for currency he prefers
dollars rather than Stalin's rubles. Let's
remember this when we underwrite
countries with influential and active
Communist parties.

National Theuter

We at Arena Stage are happy at the
prospect Of third legitimate playhouse
in Washington. Announcement that the
National Theater will reopen next May
is occasion for rejoicing among all who
work to strengthen professional theater
here.
The question has been asked whether
we feel that the reopening of the Ma
tional will affect us in any way. The
answer is yes. The reopening should
have a stimulating effect The more
good theater there is for people to see,
the more people will want to see good
theater. Assuming that enough shows
are available to keep both the National
and the Gayety open, this could lead
eventually to renaissance of the
theater going habit, breaking up the
anti-social isolationist habit into which
the flood of television has swept so
many people.
The reopening of the National should
stimulate interest in what we are doing:
and We, in turn. will repay in kind by
having, along with the Gayety, kept the
legitimate theater audience alive in
Washington during the days the
National was closed

Zelda Fichandler,
Managing Directors, Arena Stage.
It is commendable to note the local
press praising plans for the coming
opening of the National Theater It is
particularly pleasing to this writer, for
it was during his acting Craftsmanship
of the Citizens Committe for Racial
Justice that the public was being edu-
Gated to the point of accepting nom
segregation at the National and Lisner's.

Cartier Asks Title Shot
After Beating Hairsion
On Split Decision
by The Asseeicisd Press

NEW YORK, May 12.-"So
can't take it. Ell? I showed 'em.
I showed 'em. I had to do it.
I knew I could. I had to win
this one if it was the last thing
7 ever did"
Walter Cartier was talking,
stretched on a table in his dressing
room. He had just beaten Eu-
gene (Silent) Hairston on a split
10-round decision after being
knocked down twice for nine In
the first two rounds.
At the end Of the brawl, Hair
ston was down for an eight count.
He was just trying to get up when
the last bell rang. That knock
down and three rounds taken away
from Hairston on fouls gave Car
tier the nod last night at Madi-
son Square Garden.
When Cartier withdrew from q
December date with Hairston they
said he was running out and ques-
toned his courage. But he wound
up in the hospital with pneumonia.
This was his first comeback start.
He had beaten Hairston back in
1949. but the deaf mute had i'm
proved vastly since.
'Now 7 want Ray Robinson for
the title" he said.
The Hairston camp was upset
by the decision. The Negro from
the Bronx was crestfallen. All
during the fight Cartier snarled,
come on" Hairston must have
read his lips for each time Cartier
opened his mouth, Hairston's fists
went boom" 49,. -a~ :.
Cartier won the third, fourth
and eighth on low blows. There
wasn't much doubt about the
finale that left Hairston on his
back. Actually the judges had
to call only four rounds that had
no knockdowns or no fouls.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va. May 12.-Ben Hogan has
been saying since his comeback
that he picks his tournament spots
and then PAGES himself when in
competition.
But going into the third round
Of the $4,000 Greenbrier Open
today, Hogan trails Jim Ferrier by
six strokes and Sam Snead by
three and with both threatening
to play better golf. Hogan must
quicken his pace or lose his title.
For the 18-hole rounds today
and tomorrow, the 80 pros here
take amateur partners in what
can prove to be a big money phase
Of the spring festival. The pro
scores count towards the open
title and the best ball scores for
added prize money.
Ferrier's Lead Threatened.
Ferrief, first round leader with
a "a, seemed about to lose his
lead to Snead yesterday, but Just
when Sam started to take his
home course apart, Ferrier went
on q birdie spree Of his own and
finished with 81 for 131. Snead
missed a 2-footer for an eagle
on II and three-putted the 18th
for q second 81 and 1874, while
Hogan added 50 for 1877, after
starting with two brides.
The pro division appears to be
q three-way scrap. with Ferrier
Snead and Hogan having sep
arated the men from the boys at
the halfway point. Terriers 131
total is exceptional, but on this
scoring paradise Ferrier needs a
pair of Gas to tie Hogan's PGA
record of 259 last year. That's
not impossible, inasmuch as Ho-
gan started with two Gas when
he set the record. Ben is nine
shots over that pace at this
point.
Shelly Mayfield, the handsome,
blond young pro star, drew big
gest name partners in the pro-
amateur, and his foursome prob
ably will have the biggest gallery
Mayfield's partners will be. the
Duke of Windsor, with an 18

Hogan's partners will be Robert
r. Young, president Of the c. g. o.
Railroad; Dan Topping, co-owner
Of the New York Yankees, and
Tommy Shevlin of the polo set.
Snead has as his partners, John
Hay Whitney, Jock Mclean and
Paul Shields. Henry Ford is one
of Lew Worsham's partners.
Some OF the amateurs have
ample handicaps, which recalled

pension from this tournament
after he won the pro section In
