Sensible Vigilance

1t is a measure of the dangerous and rather
fantastic nature of these times that squads of
special agents are now on duty at all our prin-
cipal seaports to guard against possibility that
is causing the Customs Bureau much greater
concern" than the smuggling of gems, narcotics
and gold.
The possibility, according to recent official
testimony before House Appropriations sub
committee, is that the day may come when
enemy attempts will be made to smuggle into
this country atomic bombs and other "uncon-
ventional" instruments of warfare, including
deadly Pathological and biological weapons. This
potential menace has been recognized for some
time past but not until now has there been
any authoritative indication of the existence
of specially trained personnel to cope with it.
AS. explained to the House subcommittee
by Assistant Customs Commissioner David B.
Strubinger, the training process began back in
1850 after the outbreak of the Korean war. At
that time key agents were chosen for an educa-
tional course acquainting them with highly
secret information. The result today is that
the bureau has groups of specialists who are
familiar with the appearance of an atomic
bomb, as we'll as its components, and can readily
identify such articles" These men are sta
toned at every American port of consequence,
their chief attention being directed at vessels
1IOM UcIIAIO CIiS 4IUI Sul tdlAI. LII NcW LUX
Harbor alone, they must reckon with the month
ly arrival of 80 or 40 such vessels.
The policing task involved in all this is
far from simple. Wholly apart from things like
archaeological killers, the detection of hidden
atomic bomb is not nearly so easy as it may
sound. Mr.. Strubinger has described such a
search as "a very difficult undertaking." Al
though the idea of anybody being able to sneak
in with an A-weapon in a valise may be
far-fetched, it is not completely inconceivable
in terms of not-too- distant future full of many
fantastic possibilities Further, we may regard
it. as present fact that an enemy vessel could
steam into any of our harbors-or vital water
ways like the Panama Canal-equipped with
device in its hold enabling it to sow delayed
action nuclear explosion.
OF course, should an all-out war be launched
against the United States, the enemy would
logically seek to deliver knockout blow right
at the start by sudden massive air attack
planned to bring atomic annihilation to all our
major cities and centers of production. To that
extent, therefore, there may seem to be little
reason to fear the possibility of A-weapons
being Smuggled into our country either for
delayed-action harbor explosions or for sur
reptitious transportation and detonation inland.
Even so if only as something that might be
tried in conjunction with surprise air attack,
such a possibility, together with the possibility
of meteorological and Pathological smuggling, is
sufficiently real to require vigilance.

If Estes Is 'Cowfever', What's Albert?
BY Wilton, Hines

"A lmost unnoticed In the .hubbub OF a
= national political year, a pedagogic
and rather handsome young man from
small Tennessee county seat is sharp
ening his lance for Quixotic tilt at one
of the most redoubtable windmills on
the political skyline.
The Don Quixote Is Albert Arnold
Gore, at "A. a veteran of seven Con-
gresSes as the Democratic Representa-
tive of 'TenneSSee'S Fourth District. He
is seeking the Democratic nomination
which in Tennessee is the same as elec-.
tion-to the Senate seat now held by
83-year-old Kenneth Mcclellan. who has
been on Capitol Hill since Mr.. Gore was
shirttail kid Of &
Not only is Mr.. Gore going up against
a tough irascible old campaigner but
the young Middle TennesSean is taking
on the powerful Memphis machine of
Ed Crump as well. Mr.. Gore is not the
first to buck Mister Crump, nor would
he be the frst to beat the bushy- haired
boss at his own game-n he, does. But
the arena Of Tennessee politics is lit
tered with The cleans picked skulls Of Of
fice-seekers who met Mister Crump and
lost.
It was believed, up to six months ago,
that Senator McKellar would not run
again. He changed his mind, however.
and If he wins this time he will be 80
at the end of his next term.
What makes Mr.. Cores decision to
run against Senator McKellar of more
the emergence of another TenneSSean
onto the national political scene. Senator
Estes Kefauver came up the same way
four years ago, bucking the Crump ma
chine in an upset victory.
The Kefauyer achievement was sur
prising enough, but Mr.. Cores task is
even tougher. Where Mr.. sKefauver had
two people running against him-the in
cumbent and Crump candidate-Mr.
Gore will take on the incumbent and
Mister Crump as unified opposition.
Mr. Kefauver was able to split his an
tagonistS and win the nomination by
simple plurality, whereas Mr.. Gore will
have to get fair half of the votes to
win.
His problem is easily appreciated when
the nature of the Crump machine is
understood. This tight little despotism
has controlled Tennessee for years by
the expedient Of controlling the States
biggest city, Memphis. Mister Crumps
forces always were able to rely on
split outside Memphis, and to overcome
the opposition's lead with an almost
solid bloc of the $4,000 or 10000 votes
cast in Shelby County.
In 1948, Mr.. Kefauver stumped the
State assiduously and had the temerity
to invade Crump territory and campaign
there against the Crump candidate,
Judge John Mitchell. AS might have been
expected, Judge Mitchell carried the
county-but by such relatively slim

and Alabama. Another reason Is largely psy-
Geological In nature.
Any man whose mental processes have ma
tured knows he is making fool of himself when
he dons sheet and starts parading around
behind burning cross. There are some men,
however, who might be willing to make fools
of themselves if they could do it anonymously.
But if they had to stand out in the open, with
out masks, where their friends and neighbors
could see them, they would think better of 1t.
For the sake of these individuals, the anti
mask bill should be passed.

Mr.. Disable Retires

few months after he took Office as price
stabilization director, Michael Y. Disable was
given rousing welcome at National Press
Club luncheon. AS the applause ended Mr.
Disable glanced over his shoulder and quipped:
'"The few times that has happened to me
always expected to look around and see the
bishop coming through the door"
There is applause for him now as he leaves
Washington to return to Toledo and try for
Senate seat from Ohio. But Mr.. Disable need
not look back for the bishop. The applause Is
for him and for job we'll done under trying
conditions.
1t is true that he did not stop the rise of
living costs. That was impossible to do under
the law which prohibited price control of most
food items and other farm products. But few
will deny that the pace of initiation was slowed
largely because of the efforts of Mr.. Disable
and too few others.
When the time came last summer to renew
economic control powers, Congress passed an
even weaker law. Among other things, it pro-
hibited rollbacks of high beef prices, and pro-
vided for price increases of manufactured goods
There was little any one could do.
When he took office, Mr.. Disable knew little
about price control or the ways of Washington.
In short time, by working 18 hours day.
he gained thorough knowledge of both. His
office door was always open to newsmen, and
he always played straight with reporters. This
is quality which, while it may not be enough
to win Senate seat from Ohio, will assure the
respect and good will of the correspondents who
report his venture into politics.

No Masked Virginions

There is no current evidence that the Ku
Klux Klan or any similar alteration has foot
hold in Virginia. Still there are good reasons
why the legislature should adopt the bill which
has been offered. with Governor Battles ndorse-
ment, to prohibit the wearing of masks in the
State
One reason is that the bill is in line with
similar legislation which has been adopted in
such States as South Carolina, Georgia, Florida

Hondicops the Entries


AS a Democrat from the deep South
who will vote Republican If Truman
runs again, I thought in my conceit
that maybe you all might be inter-
ested in how a Cracker appraises the
candidates.
I don't think Eisenhower'S got
chance of getting the nomination as
of now. While Presidents are elected
by the people, candidates are chosen
by politicians, and Senator Taft has
more savvy and a better organization
than Gen. Ike will ever have. Ike has
a handicap in having Lodge as cam
paign manager who, although he has
been able to garner enough votes in
the Bay State to keep himself in Wash
ington, has never exhibited political
acumen of the type needed to handle
a national convention. However, by
next July, military background could
rise to become an asset in candi-
dates vote-getting potential. AS far
as the traditional objections to a soldier
in the White House is concerned, he
couldn't do us any more harm than
we suffered at the hands of the civilian
sciSsorbillS
AS for Taft. he's nearer right on
domestic policies than any one else in
the picture. although he's been desper-
ately wrong on foreign affairs more
than once in the past but not as wrong
as Roosevelt or Truman. There's a
chance that at least he'd surround him
self with competent advisers and once
in while take their advice.
Stassen, I believe to be shallow
cowshed philosopher with remarkable
capacity for proclaiming unrealistic OBJ
jectives. AS for Warren, what has he
ever said or done that would mark him
as Of presidential caliber?
The Democrats have no one. Truman
may be forced to run for want Of a
vote-attractive alternate. If Kefauver
thinks his TV program is all he needs
for election, he's due for an awakening.
Adlai Stevenson would be less effective

Dixie's New Industry
"The Seotchman." !"

Only recently have had opportunity
to read an article by David Koonce in
the January 20 issue Of The Sunday Star
entitled, Something New and Impor-
tant Has Been Added South Of the
Potomac" This is very interesting
article, particularly to those of us who
live south of the Potomac. agree with
the article with reference to industry
in the South.
The thing that I noticed, as one who
has given his life to the field of voca-
tional education, is that no credit was
given to the vocational education tcrCeS
of the South for q part in the South's
development Thousands of Jechnicians
for the industrial plants have been
trained in our vocational education
classes here in Georgia. Better methods
of farming are taught daily to the high
school boys and to adult farmers, and
during recent years to thousands of
farm veterans of World War II. We
know we have had part in this great
development We just wonder why we
were not mentioned. presume that it
was just an oversight or maybe in the
mind of the writer our part was SO in
significant as not to be worthy of men
ton. On this point thousands of people
here In the South would not agree with
the writer.
. I just thought would express myself
to you with reference to this and know
I speak the feeling of thousands of
Southerners working in the field If voca-
tional education, as well as the hundreds
of thousands, taking training in this
program. We want more articles dealing

How the mighty have fallen and the

Have our lawmakers never had cat
for pet? Have they deprived their very
children of the soft, fluffy comfort of an
adorable kitten? Perhaps they do not
even know that no one owns cat but
that the cat owns his master. A person
may choose a cat for his own. but do
they not know that this proud and
naughty animal does the choosing?
