TN EUROPE AFTER World War II,
L the threat of Russian conquest
forced hitherto jealously sovereign
nations to take steps toward unfit
cation. The halting steps which
went by the name OF 'sintegration"
meant voluntary loss of some
sovereignty to present a strong uni
fed front against communism and
outside economic competition.

peans, the threat posed BY Russia

but also was much farther from
actuality. 1t was a plan drafted
by the group of army officers which
has held power in Egypt since
Farouk was swept from his throne
three weeks ago. Before the plan
could become law it would have
to clear Egypt's Parliament, many
members of which are the land
lords who stand to lose.
The Army proposal seems to boil
down to. this: Large estates would
be bought from the rich owners
and sold to the poor farmers. No
individual or company would be
allowed to own more than 200 acres
OF farm land. appropriated land
would be paid for with 3O-year gov

Gen. Naguib's military reformers

New Faces for Old

The strangest thing about the
whole shakeup is the fact that the
situation in Justice apparently
looked worse than it was. After Mr..
Caudle's foot-shuff1ing testimony
on Capitol Hill, after Mr.. McGrath's
angry refusal to open his files,
every one was prepared to believe
the worst.
Yet after four months of shaking
up, the department really doesn't
look so bad after all. There has been
evidence aplenty of ineptness, but
practically none to date of skull
duggery. What may be turned up
in the Alien Property Office, in top
management surveys now going on,
and in the probe Of district attor-
neys' activities remains to be seen.

Grief in the Mines

Mourning, according to Webster's
unabridged dictionary, Is the "act
OF sorrowing or expressing grief.
especially for a persons DEATH
1t has no economic connotstio
in normal English usage.
Yesterday morning, however.
John L. Lewis applied his flair for
the English language to convert
the act of mourning into a labor
negotiating weapon. He ordered
about ATS, 1000 members of his United
Mine Workers to stop digging coal
from August % until September 2
in mourning for miners who had
perished in the pits.
That the miners memorial period
was not a purely spontaneous ex-
preston of bereavement was evi-
denced by two facts:
l.. The men for whom the MEM
bers will mourn particularly died
eight months ago In q disaster at
Frankfort, Ill.
2. The memorial period order
comes only two weeks after notice
served by Mr.. Lewis on the mine
operators that the union will end its
labor contracts on September 80.

rhetoric was at its florid best In the
announcement Of the forthcoming
mourning. He said:
"It il fitting that during the
memorial period tribute should bs
paid to those who have made the
great sacrifice and that every effort
should be made to lessen the blood
letting and wastage Of human flesh
which constitutes our national
shame"
Mr.. Lewis has gone into mourning
before; the last time was in March.
1949, under conditions parallel to
those prevailing now. There always
has seemed to be less spontaneity
than purpose to Mr.. Lewis grief.
This time-with contract termina-
ton and possible strike impending

seems to be to reduce above-ground

A LICE IN WONDERLAND'S Red
IA Queen, whose favorite order
was "Off with his head" hardly
could have done better herself.
Four months had passed since
j. Howard McGrath bade fearful
farewell to the Justice Department,
leaving his political head rolling in
the dust beside the aristocratic
skull of Newbold Morris. Predic-
tions were made freely at that time
that the Governments cleanup
campaign had gone just as far as it
was going-practically nowhere.
But in the ensuing four months,
more heads rolled. OF IL inoam-
bentS in Justices top echelon dur
ing Mr.. McGrath's tenure, eight
disappeared and ninth was showed
into a corner. Mr.. McGrath, return
ing today for look at his former
headquarters, almost literally would
not know the old place.
If clean-up-or, more accurate
ly, sweep-out-has taken place,
1t is not the kind envisioned early
this year when President Truman
named Mr.. Morris to WELD the
broom. The refurbishing of JUS
tice, since Morris departure, has
been more in the old, ruthless ira

Big or Little Change?

There was no doubt as to. how
they disagreed on Change" Both
candidates rode the issue heavily.
Eisenhower called for a complete
change. of party and administra-
ton. Stevenson, somewhat defen-
sively, claimed that a change only
in administration would be best.
Selling the country on this point,
he judged, would be his main job
Eisenhower said the Stevenson
slate was the "hand-picked success
sor" of the Truman administration.
Stevenson struck back at what
he called the G. o. P. doctrine of
change for the sake of change"
That, he said, was like buying a
surprise package at novelty store.
Maybe the cigar is a good or1e,p he
said, "or maybe 1t will explode In
your face"
White House Rendezvous
Mr.. Truman stirred up the CAM
paign q bit by inviting the candi-i
dates to a cabinet session and mili-'
tary briefing in the White House.
Stevenson accepted and visited
Washington last Tuesday. He had
perfunctory meetings with admin
istration dignitaries and then talked
politics with the President. They
agreed that Mr.. Truman would
make speeches for Stevenson but
would do no whistle-stopping, a
technique this years candidate
hopes to improve on through more
liberal use of planes and televiSion.
Ike sharply criticized the meeting,
saying it demonstrated Stevenson
was "subservient" to the Truman
gang. Eisenhower then turned
down the invitation he had received.
''It is my duty to remain free to
analyze publicly the policies and
acts Of the present administra-
ton !" he told the President.

leadership decided to re-examine

it became clear that the need for a
change was, so far, the one big issue.
There was still considerable cropping
in both parties for the best club with

Both candidates stood on the

was considerable difference in the

The Protoqonists

When Mr.. McGrath bowed out OF
the cabinet with something less
than consummate grace, Washing
ton observers tucked their tongues
into their cheeks and nodded know
ingly about his successor. James P.
McGranery, Federal judge and for
mer Congressman from Pennsyl-
vania, seemed just the sort of po-
litical trusty needed to skipper a
holding action. A wiseacre of the
day said that President Truman had
stored his grapes of McGrath in the
ever-normal McGranery. The object
of the judges appointment seemed
to be to enable the administration
to ride out its twilight days with
the minimum of additional casual
ties.
When McGranery took Office, his
chief lieutenants handed him their
designations, strictly as a matter
of form. That was their big mistake.
One by one, they were picked of
as the new Attorney General re-
gretfully accepted their resigna-
tions.
Credit Where Due
Without going into the matter
any further, Mr.. McGranery must
be given credit for changing the.
face Of the Justice Department. But
to leave it there would be to tell
only part of the story. The new At
torney General was being pushed,
ever so gently but pushed neverthe-
less, by two other Democrats, one of
whom skyrocketed to national prom
inence only few days ago.
One of these figures was Frank L.
Chelf, As year : old Congressman
from the blue grass region of Ken
tucky, who headed the Judiciary
subcommittee investigating the
Justice Department.
The other was his chief counsel,
Stephen A. Mitchell, 40, who fort
night ago would have been described
as a rather obscure Chicago lawyer,
but who now heads Gov. StevenSon's
Democratic National Committee.
Not Wholly Portison
Lest the Justice renovation seem
totally partisan affair, a third
name should be added: That Of
Kenneth B. Keating, Republican
Representative from New York's up
state 40th district. AS ranking mi
nority member of the Chelf sub
committee, Mr.. Heating is credited
with doing much to9convince Mr..
McGranery of the need for new
faces in Justice.
This need was pointed up as early
as last year, when T. Lamar Caudle,
then head of the Tax Division, gave
embarrassed answers to embarraSs-
ing questions at House inquiry
into internal revenue scandals.
Caudle's departure, which ante
dated McGrath's by several months,
was the least ceremonious of all.
President Truman announced that
Mr.. Caudle's resignation had been
accepted. Mr.. Caudle's face, as it
appeared in the public prints, clear
ly bore the expression: What resig-
nation?
Following the Caudle custer, Mr..
Heating demanded a thorough in
uuiry into complaints involving the
department. The Chelf committee
was born Of his demand.

lmpusse in Austria

Austria was the first country to
be invaded by Hitler. 1t was at
tached to Germany and later was
dragged into World War II. Tech
nically Austria still is at war with
the Allies, although we regard it
as a liberated nation.
Since We day we have been try
ing to agree with Russia on peace
treaty for Austria. Last week the
Soviets turned down our latest
compromise offer.
The dispute centers around dis
position Of German property in
in Austria. Russia wants it as war
booty. We say most of it really
belongs to Austria. In the mean
time, Austria is split into East and
West occupation zones.
As Russia delayed action on
treaty-the last full meeting of
negotiators was in 1950-Austria
threatened to take her problem to
the United Nations.

Schuman Plan
In one area, however, integration
seemed to be of to a good start. The
Schuman plan to pool the coal and
steel production of France, West
Germany, italy, Belgium, Neither

after more than two years of nego-
tiations. The nine-man High Au-
thority, with power to dictate pro-
duction and marketing of European
steel, held its organizing meetings.
II the plan works. it will mean
that none OF the participating coun-
tries can wage war against each
other, because all steel production
will be controlled by the semi
autonomous High Authority. Co
ordination Of production should also
enable Europe to produce some of
the arms America now is furnishing.
