conservatism, that does not nee
essarily follow. The competi-
ton of a tWo-party system would,
require that that issue be drawn
more sharply in the contest for
votes. 1t would conceivably
either bring out more progress
Sive Democratic candidates or
induce Republican candidates in
the South to take a more pro-
gressive stand than conservative
Democrats, a role, incidentally,
which some see for a Republican
Party in the South, as it is, for
instance, in the far West and
New England.
1t is suggested that indigenous
Republicans with moderate pro-
gressive attitudes are those who
might have more success in get
ting the party rooted in the
South rather than the standpat
type represented for the mos
part in the Republican National
Committee.
Up until very recently-and
still to considerable degree
Southern Republican bosses, in
Guiding some National Commit
tee members, exhibited and ex-
hibit chief interest in maintain
ing their Southern bailiWicks as
special private preserves, closed
corporations, for the delivery of
delegates at the party's national
convention. That is a sort of
rotten borough system for per-
sonal political bargaining which
nourishes little interest in ex-
pansion of the party. Hitherto
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio
has been it's chief beneficiary in
convention delegates. In 1948,
however, Governor Thomas E.
Dewey of New York attracted
younger and more progressive
Southern Republicans who had
ambitions of breaking down this
personal rotten borough system.
This would have been helped
along by an anticipated big
Southern Republican vote, but
the Dixiecrat State Rights Party
in 1948 intruded to siphon off
Democratic discontents to the
more comfortable refuge offered
by a Southern Democratic Gov
ernor, j. Strom Thurmond of
South Carolina, Dixiecrat Presi-
dental candidate.
Tradition still is a potent fac
tor operating aginst the Repub-
lican Party in the South. That
party is held up yet as a symbol

Henry WcLen1ore:
Finds There Is No Scarcity
Of Se|f-Appointed Doctors
Henry McLenore:

The Army says there is a
great shortage Of doctors and
nurses in this country. but I
can scarcely believe it.
Not after the letters and
cards which have come to me
since I wrote that I had fallen
victim to the common cold and
had established a new all-time
record for shifting, snufling,
coughing and ead-to-toe ach-
ing.
Half my readers must have
had medical training of some
sort, or consider themselves
good style, catch-as-catch-
can practitioners. Hundreds of
them shoWered me with advice
on how to prevent catching a
cold, how to cure it once it has
got you by the throat and chest.
and no two offer the same
advice.
\ Doctors say there is no cure
for the common cold save rest,
but this word hasn't reached
my readers as yet. They write
with the authority of college
full OF surgeons. and to judge
by the correspondence there
must be more ways to cure q
cold than there are ways to cut
your hair.
The only similarity in the
letters and cards I have re-
ceived is the question, Where
did you catch your cold?"
They want to know the time,
place and date when the cold
germ decided to take up lodging
in my noggin. Was it at q
movie, a basketball game, in a
pool room. walking down the
street, or under the shower?
Just why they want this in

'Aggressor' Tag to Hurt Reds

''Napalm,' which is the dead
Hest of the fire bombs, rings the
enemy troops. When they in
f1ltrate behind our lines, our
ground troops signal the Air
Force the positions of the enemy
and everything within the circle
is pounded to pieces or burned.
The tragic truth is that the
Red Chinese are taking some
awful punishment. Their crack
army cannot indefinitely take
such heavy losses. They will need
these trained troops for battles
in the interior of China. Incl
dentally, Russia isn't risking any
of her armies while Red China
is bearing the brunt of the Ko-
lean struggle. The casualties
on the U. N. side are relatively
low due to the defensive cam
paign being waged and the
utilization of counter offensive
moves on a hit-and-run basis.
This kind of campaigning can
60 on for a long time. 1t could
happen that the Red Chinese
will be begging for a cease-fire
without any conditions very soon
and the U. NJ will then have
free hand to discuss or nego-
late whatever it pleases.
AS time goes on, terms will
crow sitter because the Red
Chinese have had their oppor-
unity to end the bloodshed and
have insisted on a victor's terms
instead.
1t is being asked, of course,
on many sides: What will all
this accomplish" The only
answer that seems at the mo-
ment to be acceptable is that
if the Korean episode Ioes pre-
vent a third world war by i'm
pressing the Communists that
the free world will fight agrees
sion wherever it arises, the sac
rifices made will have been more
than worth while.

David Lowrence:

Passage this week of the reso-
luton by the United Nations
declaring Red China to be en-
gagged in aggression" will lead
to consequences of a far-reach-
ing nature. These may be out
lined as follows:
/. The war with Red China
will go on until Communist
China takes the initiative in
stopping hostilities. America is
weary of the palavering with
Chinese Communist leaders
about a cease fire."
2. Because Red China is an
aggressor, she cannot be adj
mitted into the United Nations
until the Communist regime has
been completely purged of any
further tendency toward agrees
sion and pledged herself to make
reparation for damage done to
Korea. This means that in all
probability Red China will not
get into the U. N. for long time
and perhaps not at all, espe-
cially if another government
of substantial strength should
emerge to challenge Red China's
claims to recognition.
8. With Red China declared
an aggressor. Great Britain and
other governments which have
recognized the Peiping regime
will be in a position to with
draw such recognition. Other
wise they would be in the en-
barrassing position of carrying
on diplomatic relations with an
aggressor regime.
4. The United States by agree
ing to limit the war to Korea
has not foreclosed the opportu-
nifty on a subsequent occasion to
demand that the U. N. permit
the bombing of Manchuria as
a means of Kidding Korea of
aggression.
5. Measures of economic and
naval blockade of Red China

Lattre de Tassigny conducted
a successful local drive.
But what made the Wet
Namese, and particularly the 2
million native Catholics, doubt
full about their continued sup
port of Ho Chi Mimi, was the
United States action demanding
that Red China be labelled an
aggressor. In the faraway ORR
entail countries this move had
more significance than in the
Western lands. The delaying
tactics of the friends Of Red
China have struck at this
change of heart on the part Of
the Wet Namese.
The most tangible effect was
noticed, however, in Iran, which
is under guns of the USSR.
For several months Moscow has
pursued a soft policy toward the

The government of Premier
Razmara has been playing both
ends against the middle. While
doing his utmost to appease
Russia he was getting himself in
a position to resist aggression.
He ordered arms from the
United States. When they final

The Republican National
Committee in it's recent sessions
here took occasion, among other
matters, to revive a hardy per-
ennial which is, indeed, worth
assiduous cultivation for the
good of the nation as a whole.
This is creation of an effective
Republican Party in the South.
That aim comedies with the
aspirations of many people in
the South, and not only Repub-
licans there. There is wide rec
ignition of the need of a strong
two-party system. 1t would
afford needed competition that
would not only accord repre-
sentation and a voice in ma
tional affairs to increasing num-
bers who now lack those, but
also would improve local gov
eminent in which the voter now
has, with some exceptions, only
the choice between Democratic
party factions. That last con-
duces to personal government
with emphasis on personalities,
including occasional dema-
gogues, rather than on issues.
Two-party competition in the
South would mean something,
too, to people in other parts of
the Nation. One-party govern
ment there gives the South an
influence in national govern
ment much beyond its due. 1t
makes for continuity of service
and that, through operation of
the seniority rule in Congress,
gives the South a dispropor-
tionate number of key posts in
the national legislative body.
Furthermore, that over-Weighted
influence is on the conservative
side and not truly representa-
tive because of various fran
chise restrictions in the South
that bar many low income and
underprivileged groups, white
and black, from participation in
politics.
That, of itself, nullifles pro-
gressivism elsewhere in the
country to an extent. Among
the practical results. for ex-
ample. is the way Southern con-
sentative Democrats join with
Republican conservatives in
Congress SO that, in this pre-
sent Congress, this constitutes
the major party.
While 1t might be argued that
strong Republican Party in
the South would continue this

That sounds more like a for
mula for making a kerosene
lamp out of man than a cold
remedy. 1t would be handy for
reading in bed, though. All a
fellow would have to do would
be to swallow a wick, light it,
and read by the Pickering glow.
