to become united but the prob
abilities are that Russia isn't
interested in how united or dis
united the American people are,
but what the effect of American
action will be upon European
peoples and countries closer to
the Iron Curtain.
The more belligerent Amer
lea gets. the more the Com
munists expect weakened
Europe to react with pacifism
and apply the restraints which
our Allies applied in Korea.
Russia knows the kind of
policies the Democratic admin
istration will pursue. Moscow
knows that her strategists can
needle America and go very far
now without risking war because
the American people have been
told that it is better to accept
peace at any price in Korea or
elsewhere than to take any
calculated risk that might mean
war, especially because Europe
is divided and unready.
Win the Republican Spokes-
men criticize the Korean policy
and the payment of the ran
som to Hungary and recon-
mend as an alternative a more
drastic policy that would risk
war? It is on the answers to
questions such as these that the
whole trend of the political
campaign will turn.
Foreign policy in all its many
phases will be the primary issue
in the coming campaign. for
the simple reason that it will
be to the advantage of the
Democrats to make it the issue.
The Democrats want the Re-
publicans to nominate Senator
Taft because. while he isn't an
isolationist, he can be expected
to advocate policies with less in
volvement internationally than
those of Mr.. Truman. In such
a debate, the Democrats expect
to have the advantage.

now downrates him sharply with
some unkind additions about
self-advertising. An observation
of the late Lew Wentz when Re-
publican National committee
man from Oklahoma is widely
recalled.
THAT young man amt goin'

aire pronounced positively. Hes
answerin' too many questions
nobody ever asked him"
One bored correspondent sug-
gested that the whole story Of
Mr.. Stassen's new announce
ment could be held to two SEN
tences: One, the announcement
and the other, the question:
Who asked him?"
This is not quite fair. Mr..
Stassen has slipped badly here,
perhaps elsewhere. But the din
ner given for him in Philadel-
phia to launch his campaign
shows that he still has substan-
tial business support. Jock
Whitney is one of a New York
group that continues to invest
in Stassen prospects.
When he gets down to busi-
ness, Mr.. Stassen also can be
a formidable campaigner in
spite Of his Oregon fiasco at
the hands Of Gov. Dewey. II
Gen. Eisenhower remains politi-
cally inert, MIR. Stassen may
surprise his detractors.
Evening star., 1951-12-31

So now that former Gov.
Stassen has announced his can
didacy, it is important only as
he will indicate what his for
eign policy would be If elected.
Curiously enough, the sup
porters of Gen. Eisenhower are
not looking forward to any
handicaps in the debate on
foreign policy If the general is
the nominee. They think the
American people will expect
him to carry forward the good
in the present policies and inn
prove upon them. The Eisen-
hover hackers expect the most
persuasive argument for their
candidate to be that he can
harmonic viewpoints as be-
tween European countries, that
he can harmonic American
and European viewpoints, and
that he can promote domestic
harmony. because this faculty
of reconciling opposite view
points is one of the basic char
acteristics of his personality.
It Is too soon to say whether
Mr.. Stassen's entry in the race
will hurts or help the Eisen-
hover candidacy. Harold Stas-
sen is obviously in the race for
his own purpose. and in the
long run his views will tend to
synchronize much more with
those of Gen. Eisenhower than
those of Senator Taft.
1t needs to be remembered
that the problem of any Repub-
lican nominee is easy when it
comes to holding Republican
votes. but it is not so easy when
he has to gain a considerable
number of persons who have
been voting for the New Deal
and the Fair Deal heretofore.
1t is an open question how
many Democrats have been
converted lately to conserva-
tism on domestic questions or
to limited action in the inter-
national field.

in several States. including Wis
consin. Taft people concede
some strength for the Cali
fornian in Wisconsin where he
shares Scandinavian ancestry
with SO many voters. They do
not admit it could endanger
their man.
The Republican National
Committee meeting In San
Francisco January 16 may bring
some answers to another ques-
ton that is quietly being raised
in political circles here, and
that is the matter of Gov. War
ren's health. He recently under
went an operation from which
he is said to be mending slowly.
Washington correspondents who
have long known and liked him
will have an opportunity to
make their own observations as
well as tap the local grapevine.
Senator Taft's hackers assert
that Mr.. Stassen will cut into
Gen. Eisenhower's strength ma
terially. Once. when Mr.. Stassen
was launching himself from the
political security of the Min
nesota governorship, this would
certainly have been true. Now
the measure of the Stassen
strength is unclear as he has
not enjoyed any political sue
cess for a long time.
Generally speaking, the trade

Dovid Lowrence:

Presidential politics in 1852
will not be a cut-and- -dried OF
traditional affair. What is fore
cast as of January will hardly be
forecast as of May.
The issues that loom large
now-tax scandals and corrup-
tion-may seem insignificant a
few months hence If there is a
sudden change in the interna-
tional situation.
Candidates whose names seem
important now as vote-getterS
may seem Of secondary stature
if the United States is plunged
into a dangerous period of
crisis.
A good Illustration Of how do
mestic issues can be relegated to
a position of relative unimport-
ance might have come last
week.
Suppose President Truman
had decided to act firmly in the
dispute over the arrest and i'm
prisonment of the four American
flyers by Hungary, and had de-
manded their release without
paying the ransom. Suppose
Russia then had stimulated
Hungary to make an arrogant
and defiant response.
The United States would have
been today in an entirely diff
ferent mood, politically speak
ing. and there would have been
q tendency everywhere to rally
behind the President and back
him up in whatever steps he had
decided to take to uphold Amer
ican prestige in the world.
The future may bring many
such incidents. 1t is unlikely that
the Russians will pass up their
opportunity to muddy the waters
here in the next few months. A
mistaken theory exists that the
Russians are stupid about all
this and that they might we'll
avoid taking any measures that
would cause the American people

West Holds Edge Over SoViets
Allies Wind Up 1851 With Best Goins for Freedom in Europe
And in u s. Defenses; Middle East Poses Grove Peril

The gravest dangers In this
area are .centered in Iran and
in Egypt where political pas
sions of understandable inten-
sity and recognized origin
reached a climax with Britain
as the first priority target.
Trapped between our natural
inclinationS to sympathize with
reasonable nationalist aspira.
tions and our commitments and
reliance upon continuing COM
patibility with Britain, the
United States has thus far been
ineffective as either o media
tor or a leader Of free world
policy in that strategically i'm
portant portion Of the globe.
Coveted historically by Rug
sia, both because Of location
and Of resources, the Middle
East might become an easy
and valuable prize for Commu-
mist aggression il the present
impasse serves to destroy their
already shaky economies and to
create political and military
vacuum into which Russian In
huence could advance. Few
military men are convinced that
the proposed Middle East Com
mand-built around Turkish,
British, French and American
participation can become q
fully effective instrumentality
If the governments and the
peoples Of the area are non
cooperative at the best or
openly resistant at the worst.
A map reflects In simplest
form what would be the mill
tary cost alone of such a loss
to the West: Turkey and prob
ably all of southern Europe OUT

difficult to defend opened into
Africa and south Asia.

seems to accompany gigantic
American planning. there has
been substantial progress here
in the training of manpower,
in the production of materiel
and in the fields Of scientific
research where the last key to
the last door to eventual victory
and peace may be found.
Perhaps the greatest danger
to the American effort rests
today In the strain being placed
upon the dollar value, with its
accompanying threat to our ma
tional economy.
In the Far East we can hard
ly consider that we have
proved anything militarily in
Korea land the cost of the
present stalemate has been
high in both lives and dollars.
The Communist side, however,
has recorded no appreciable
gains in Southeast Asia, a SEN
sitiue area where dangerous
penetrations were threatened a
year ago. With increasing or
der In the Philippines and with
Japan free and available to re-
build itself into a solid power,
the core Of our position in the
Far Pacific has been hardened
in a manner hardly pleasing to
the Kremlin.
At the same time the dis
turbing aspects Of the Middle

Marion d. Rentchler, Defendant.
No. 1885 Equity. In the Circuit Court
for Garrett County, Maryland.
ORDER OF PUBLICATION

The object of this suit is to procure
decree of divorce a vinculo matri-
monii by the plaintiff from the de-
PENDANT.
The bill recites that the plaintiff
was duly married to the defendant in
Pineville, West Virginia, on or about
the DIST day Of July, 1928; that the
plaintiff is a resident Of Garrett
/ County, Maryland; that she has been
a resident Of said County and State
for more than one year continuously
Immediately preceding the bringing
Of this suit; that the defendant is a
nonresident Of the State of Maryland
and when last heard from was re-
siding in Ashland, Kentucky; that
there are no minor children living as
result of said marriage; that, al
though the conduct of the plaintiff
toward the defendant has always been
that of a kind, chaste and affectionate
wife, the defendant, without just
cause or reason, deserted the plaintiff
at Craigville, West Virginia, on or
about the 18th day Of September, 1912,
and that said abandonment has con-
tinued uninterruptedly since the date
thereof and that it was deliberate and
final and the separation of the parties
is beyond any reasonable hope or eX-
pcctation of a reconciliation.
The bill then prays for a divorce a
vinculo matrimonii for the plaintiff
from the defendant and for general
relief and for an order of publication.
1t is thereupon, this 18th day of
June, 1851, ORDERED by the Circuit
Court for Garrett County, Maryland,
in Equity, that the plaintiff by caus-
ing a copy Of this order to be in
serted in some newspaper published
in Garrett County, Maryland, once in
each of four successive weeks before
the 18th day Of July, 1851. give notice
to the said absent defendant, Marion
d. Rentchler, of the object and sub
stance Of the bill Of complaint and
warning him to be and appear in this
Court, in person OF by solicitor, on or
before the 2Sth day Of July, 1851,
to show cause, if any he may have,
why a decree should not be passed as
prayed.
