BY HERBERT SOFIN
Continued from Last Week.

He discussed the problem that exists with new
youth coming from foreign countries with their
different backgrounds and having to fit into youth
groups that are essentially 'Sabra' in makeup.
The task was to discuss the best means with
which to care for the problem; the best means of
absorbing the new ohm youth into the youth
movements; the task of easing the psychological
and sociological difficulties that exist on the road
towards fruitful integration of the varied youth
that will make Israel
The plan of Keren Ha Yesod was to develop a
non-partisan chalutz movement to be economical
1y supported by the Jewish Agency The leaders
Of the movement were to be provided by the
Agency This movement, instead of taking new
OHM from all parts of the world into existing
movements, would rather establish new and diff
ferent groups of new youth from their respective
origins in the diaspora. Those recently from
Yemen would be placed in one group, those from
East Europe another and so forth.
Following the presentation of the problem and
the suggested plan for improvement, the youth
representatives were given time to discuss the
matter.
The speakers walked one at time to the plat
form to express themselves. A tall blond fellow
had the conventional Scandinavian appearance
Another was of medium height fair complexioned
and dark hair. A third boy was dark-olive COM
plexioned with black hair. His parents found out
were Iraqui Jews A fourth fellow had SEMI
negroid features and complexion. He was from
Yemen.
noted the physical characteristics of these four
because this quartet sitting on the platform to-
gether awaiting their turns to speak made me more
aware of tn cir audience; an audience of youth
which was also enriched by a similar variation
Of stocks and backgrounds.
Some Of the speakers disagreed completely with
the presented plan. Others accepted with varia-
tons. Still others merely questioned other possible
solutions.
Some claimed that there could be no such thing
as non-partisan chalutz movement in Israel.
These claimed that the fact that the Jewish Agen-
cy would provide the funds and leaders does not
insure a non-partisan organization, but to the
contrary guarantees an orientation to the views
of the Jewish Agency which at the present time is

German Tells Jews How to
Avoid "5ate PsYchosis"

BERLIN, (JTA) - A Berlin
student leader said this week that
while he and many of his col
leagues accepted the principle of
collective German responsibility
for Nazi crimes, the Jews should
avoid ''hate psychosis" that
would impede reconciliation be-
tween Germans and Jews.

sonally tied to him; their warn
ings spelled only envy or pique
to him.
He must face UP to the situa-
ton now for every reason, in
Guiding the fact that this is an
issue at long last which makes
Senator Robert A. Taft a for
midable contender for the Pres
idency. If the American people
can be persuaded that Mr.. Tru-
man is being sold out and will
not or cannot cope with it, Mis-
ter Republican has the kind of
public reputation which can be
well pitted against him. It will
be a great break for Mr.. Taft
II the campaign can be shifted
to that ground where people do
not doubt him as many do his
foreign policy views.
The spotting of the Internal
Revenue scandals -- New York,
San Francisco, Boston, st. Louis
shows how serious a party
problem they pose for Mr.. Tru-
man. These are major States
where major politicos are in
volved, men whose efforts are
important to victory in 1852.
The President must choose
whether to protect or challenge
them.

Constantine Brown:

In the last f1Ve years the
American people have been
provided by those who conduct
our foreign relations with a
number Of shibboleths regard
ing China and Russia's prob
lens in the Far East. They have
all, unfortunately for this ma
ton, proved utterly incorrect.
We were told at first that we
need not worry about the strides
made by the Chinese Commu-
nists because they were in fact
not Communists but agrarian
reformers. This contention was
strengthened by no less person
than Stain himself who spoke
scornfully at the Potsdam con-
ference about the Chinese Com
nuniStS.
When Moscow's support be-
came apparent after 1949 and
Chinese Communists activities
were shown to follow intimately
the Kremlin dictates, the Amer
lean people were reassured that
transformation Of China into a
puppet state would eventually
prove a handicap rather than
a help to the Moscow conspir-
acy.
Assimilation Problem Posed.
Experts" on China intimated
that the U. S. S. r. would have
an even greater problem of di-
gesting the $50 million Chinese
than 1t had with the peoples in
the European satellite coun-
tries. 1t was pointed out that
Communist ideologies which
may be understood by at least
a segment Of the Europeans,
who are far more educated,
would not be followed by the
vast. ignorant Chinese masses
who have never been able to
understand even what national
unity means. It was pointed
out that the vastness of the
Chinese territory would make it
impossible for the central gov
ernment at Peiping to control
China.
At the same time it was hint
ed mysteriously that Mao Use
Tung and Chou En- LATHE
two top Chinese Communists
were about ready to become
the Titos of Asia. BY exercis-
ing a little patience and for
bearance. as we did with the
Yugoslav dictator. we would
give these Chinese leaders time
to pull out from under the
Soviet domination and estab-
lish themselves as "Indepen-
dent Communists, it was hint
ed.
Recognition Hinted
This was the dominating
thought Of our policy makers
in the State Department in
the last three years and was
reflected in vague hints that
under certain circumstances

corps Of Democrat Firsters, who
are uncomfortably close to the
President.
Informed Democrats have
watched this contamination of
the most sensitive agency in
Government start and spread
ever since a thorough-going
politician, the late Robert E.
Hannegan, was made Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue late
in the Roosevelt administration.
Mr.. Hannegan. who went on to
bigger things as National Chair
man and Postmaster General,
was no better and no worse than
the rest of his trade and no
charges were recorded against
him.
Political Point Of View.
But he brought to bear from
the top a political point Of view
in areas that must be above
politics at just the time when no
successful challenge apparently
could be made against it. Mr..
Roosevelt was ailing and ab-
sorbed in the war; Mr.. Truman
shortly followed but he still had
to learn how far the White
House is and must be above
the Jackson County courthouse.
Also, Mr.. Truman had no con-
f1dence in Democrats not per-

in Asia onto the side Of the
Chinese and Korean Reds.
Up to the time when Jakob
Malik, the Kremlin's repre-
sentative at the u. N, vaguely
suggested the now ill-fated truce
negotiations. the Peiping gov
ernment was treated with a GER
tain amount of consideration.
Some policy makers still believe
that by satisfying its national
aims" peace could be restored
and the Chinese Communists
could eventually be weaned away
from Moscow. No documenta-
tion can be produced to prove
this. Diplomatic conversations
with the British and Indians
who recognized the Peiping gov
ernment and acted as go-be-
tweenS are not available either
to the public or Congress. But
publication of the White Papers
on China, the disclosure under
oath by Gov. Harold Stassen
about the three-day conference
at the State Department in Oc-
tober, 1949, the Vandenberg
memoirs about the request Of
the State Department that
President Truman "dramatical-
ly' stop five Navy transports
carrying military supplies to
Chang Kai-shek are circum-
stantial evidence which throws
interesting light on our diplo-
matte failure in China.
AS things stand today there
is absolutely no evidence that
the Kremlin suffers from any in
digestion in the conquest Of Asia.
Quite the contrary, it seems that
it is meeting less opposition
except for a few unsupported
anti-Communist guerrilla groups
than it has from underground
movements in the European
satellite countries. Unlike Rus
sia's European satellites. China
is completely isolated from the
West. Moreover, since the elimi-
nation of all missionaries from
that country. ties with the West
are far looser than those of the
European peoples who have been
subjected by the Kremlin.

Stain Showing War Jitters
Statement Atomic Bomb Interpreted Meaning Peace
For Indefinite Period and Fear Of IT, s. Defense Program
David Lowrence:

Only from Joseph Stain
comes uncensored news out Of
Russia. For he is boss there
and decides what shall be said.
Hence anything he says or
writes constitutes the most i'm
portant evidence to the out
side world of what is going on
in his mind.
Stalin's latest statement is
the most revealing document on
the effect of American policy on
Russia that has yet been dis
closed and. if analyzed word for
word in the light of what is
occurring in this country, it
will yield plenty of interesting
information. These conclusions
can be drawn from the Stain
statement:
/. Peace in the world is as
sured for an indefinite period.
2. Russia recognizes the lead
in armament which America
has and will not attack the
Allies.
Scared BY Our Program.
8. Russia has been scared by
the size Of the American de-
tense program and by the re-
cent announcements from
American official sources about
tactical use of the atom bomb.
4. Fearing that the Russian
people may react nervously to
President Truman's challeng-
ing statement that the SovietS
are now embarked on a pro-
gram of war preparation
through the explosion of their
second atom bomb, the Com
munist chief with only a few
days elapsing has promptly
sought by his statement to pre-
vent that impression from
taking hold inside the Iron
curtain" countries. It is evi-

weapon only If they see they
are no longer nonopolists."
What Stain is really saying
is that his explosion of a Sec
ond atom bomb is intended to
prove to America it has no mo-
nopoly and he is ready to agree
to the liquidation of our larger
and better supply of atom
bombs by using his small, if
not insignificant. supply as a
trading point. It is transpar-
emily a sign of weakness.
Viewpoint Reiterated.
The mere fact that so much
of his statement is devoted to
a reiteration of the Soviet point
OF view about prohibiting the
use of the atomic weapon al
together indicates clearly more
over that the Soviets are des-
perately seeking the adoption
OF any program of international
control which starts first with
the destruction of all of Amer
ica's bombs.
It's an understandable tao
tic on the part of a weaker party
but it is also a signal to the
United States that the atom
bomb is destined to become a
big issue psychologically inside
Russia and that when the pres
ent crowd in the Kremlin are
thrown out of power some day
by the Russian people the prob
lem of international control of
the atomic bomb could be the
means to a peaceful understand
ing with an emancipated ma
ton. It could rid the whole
world OF atomic jitters. The
atom bomb is looked upon every
where as a weapon of war but
1t could conceivably become a
great instrument of peace.

Doris FIeeson:

A fresh impression of the Tru-
man Administration after a
months absence is that to a
degree not seen even in the dark
days of '46 and '48. it is on the
defensive.
Democratic politicians, as
such, have never worried too
much about Secretary Ache
sons troubles. Senator McCar-
thy or the global struggle. They
know that Mr.. Acheson is one
of their genuinely eminent men,
that Senator Mccarthy is one
whom time will help to expose,
and that their leaders are max
ing an honest effort to solve the
world crisis. The politicos did
not list these matters as major
obstacles because they felt sin
cerely that, the opposition
charges being untrue. they were
capable Of being disproved.
Scandals Hit Home.
But the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau scandals and National
Chairman Boyle's prosperity
have struck at the basic convic-
tion on which Democrats oper-
ate. It is that the American peo-
pie believe the Democrats are for
them. What is now becoming
clear is the existence of an elite
Evening star., 1951-10-08
Thomas L. Stokes:

A division exists among Els
enhower-for President promo
ters as to strategy and timing.
One group wants to hold Cen
eral Eisenhower back, not hurry
matters, and avoid anything
that might embarrass him in
his present all-important post
as head of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization in which
his service is for the Nation and
all its people.
This group is headed by for
mer Senator Harry Darby, from
the generals native State OF
Kansas, who has become rec
ognized as a sort of personal
manager for the general and
now is devoting himself to pre-
liminary organization on behalf
of the Eisenhower candidacy.
On the other hand, there is
another group headed by Gov
ernor Thomas E. Dewey OF New
York which is eager to get the
general openly and publicly in
the race for the Republican
nomination at as early a date
as possible. They are impelled
by the rapidity with which the
forces of Senator Robert A.
Taft are moving to try to insure
the Ohio Senator's nomination.
Dewey Knows the Ropes.
Governor Dewey is familiar
from experience with the de-
tailed work necessary in a cam
paign for a presidential nom
ination, and the time required.
He also recognizes that in the
Taft-for-Preeident organization
the Eisenhower boosters are
dealing with professionals. He
has been up aaginst them him
self.
The urgency in the Dewey
group was expressed publicly at
the recent Governors confer
ence at Gatlinburg, Tenn, by
Gov. Val Peterson of Nebraska.
He went so far as to specify a
date-January by which the
general should publicly declare
his intentions, and insisted that
there can be no flash" nomi-
nation by draft" arranged the
night before the Republican
convention meets next July.
Capitalizes on Role of Chief.
Gov. Dewey got a head start
in the Eisenhower-for-P President
crusade by his public announce
ment last fall during his own
campaign for reelection to q
third term. He capitalized upon
his role as titular head of the
Republican Party, as he still is,
in pushing the Eisenhower cause
at every opportunity. This as
sumption Of leadership is re-
sented among other Eisenhower
campaign generals" of whom
there seem to be a great naany,
including the Kansas cositin-

gent and Senator James H. Du.i
of Pennsylvania.
This has complicated the
problem Of getting a campaign
under way for a general who
otherwise is admittedly in a
delicate position politically be-
cause Of his present European
assignment, the uncertainty of
its duration, and the obvious
difficulty in terminating it with
out rejecting upon himself and
hampering the success of the
important mission for which he
was selected.
Beyond Generals Control.
In short. the situation is. to
a degree, beyond his own con-
troll, though President Truman
has indicated plainly that he
will not stand in the way of
the generals political aspira-
tions If his inclinations lie that
way.
What the Eisenhower pro-
moters are up against Is in
dicated by the step-up in tempo
of the Taft campaign as re-
vealed In a series of carefully
planned maneuvers recently be-
ginning to unfold. The latest
is the appeal of a politically
powerful group in Wisconsin
headed by Tom Coleman, former
Republican state chairman,
that the Senator enter his name
in the Presidential primary
there in April. This did not
just happen out of the blue.
It is significant. furthermore,
because the eleven men making
the appeal supported Harold E.
Stassen in 1948 and conducted
the campaign which carried
that state for Mr.. Stassen in
the 1948 Presidential primary in
Wisconsin, giving him the lion S
share, 10, of its delegates, with
eight for General Douglas Mac
Arthur.
Open Way For Taft.
This Wisconsin overture opens
the way for Senator Taft pub
licly to announce his own can
didacy for the nomination,
which would be another step in
the design of Taft managers
to foreclose the nomination
well in advance, if possible.
The Senator has promised a
decision on his intentions after
study of a national survey of
Republican sentiment made for
him on which a final report
is to be made to him Wednes-
day.
If Senator Taft enters the
Wisconsin primary, it will be
a departure from his practice
in his two previous attempts
to get the nomination - in
1910 and 1948 - when he en-
tered his name only in his. own
state primary. That would ex-
Evening star., 1951-10-08

this country might recognize
the Peiping regime. This would
have meant entry into the
United Nations and the right to
control all territories including
Formosa. The State Department
never said so formally. But
it took certain steps such as
impeding congressional actions
to help the Nationalists on For
mosa, censuring severely the
past and present corruption of
that government and limiting
that under certain Circumstance
es the same help we were CIV
ing Tito would be extended to
Mao and his associates.
We acted mildly when the
Chinese Communists harshly
treated our misunderstanding
representatives of the State
Department. Those few officials
who pointed out that the Chinese
Communist leadership is one
hundred per cent Marxist in
theory and one thousand per
cent Stalinist in practice were
considered by our top policy
makers as either defeatists. ig-
norant of the mentality of
Asiatics or lobbyists for the
corrupt government of Chang
Kai-shek.
Effort Minimized
Even after the Chinese Com
muniSts joined the North Ko-
reans and poured hundreds of
thousands of men into battle,
the tendency of our policy max
ers was to minimize this con-
crete effort. The hearings on
Gen. MacArthur's dismissal
showed how diplomats inter-
fered with important strategic
plans.
The reason given to the mem
bers of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations and Armed Services
Committees was that any ex-
tension of the war from the
limited North Korean territory
would have had fatal conse-
quences since it would have
brought the added Soviet might
Evening star., 1951-10-08

dence that the American state
ment of last Wednesday was
shrewdly conceived and has ac-
complished its object from a
contemporaries standpoint.
He Protests Too Much.
The foregoing points are de-
rived from the context of the
Stain statement which oddly
enough protests too much on
certain points and thus betrayS
the innermost concern of the
Soviets. Many a person who is
shaking and quivering In a mo-
ment of danger often insists
that he isn't scared. Stain
says:
"Personages in the United
States are vexed because the
secret of the atom bomb is pos
sessed not only by the United
States but also by other coun-
tries, the Soviet Union, pri-
marily. They would like the
United States to be the monop-
olist of the production of the
atom bomb They would like
the United States to have un-
limited power to intimidate and
blackmail other countries"
Proof of Stalin's Respect.
Next comes the proof that
Stain respects American pro-
ductive power and our lead in
the atomic race for he then
pleads that "the interests of
preserving peace require first of
all the liquidation of such a
monopoly and then the uncon-
ditional prohibition of the
atomic weapon, too." He then
naively adds this bit of wish
full thinking:
"I think that the proponents
Of the atom bomb may agree
to the prohibition of the atomic
