Eisenhower Appeals to the South

General Eisenhower, if nominated to head
the Republican ticket, offers the best chance to
the party since 1923 to break the normally solid
Democratic front in the South.
To greater degree than usual in national
election, the South this year already has become
an important political battle-ground. 1t promises
to continue so between now and November.
Only rarely since the Civil War has the
Republican Party picked up any electoral votes
in the Southern or even border, States. Herbert
Hoover made the best showing in this regard
in 1923 when the issues of religion and prohibition
so hurt New York's Catholic and anti-prohibition
Governor AL Smith that nine Of the usually safe
Democratic States went Republican In 1948,
four of the deep-South States which had
remained loyal to the Democrats in 1923 jumped
the party to give their electoral votes to the
DiXiecrat ticket.
Basically, the political leaders of the South
would prefer to remain with the Democratic
Party, where continuity of service has brought
so many of them to positions of considerable
national influence Three of them are now
openly in the race for the Democratic presidential
nomination-Vice President Barkley of Kentucky,
Senator Russell of Georgia and Senator Kefauver
OF Tennessee. A fourth, Speaker Rayburn Of
Texas, may yet emerge as candidate. Since
the South's electoral votes have normally been
considered money in the bank" to the Demo-
cratic Party, the nomination of one of the above
for either the first or second place on the
national ticket as means of maintaining this
political preference is good bet.
Unfortunately for the Democrats however,
the principal cause for the 1948 disaffection is
factor today, namely the issue Of civil rights and
a program of compulsory Federal legislation on
this subject which has the backing of the Tru-
man administration and powerful bloc of nom
Southern Democratic strength. strong party
platform plank on this issue might easily offset
the presence of a Southerner on the ticket
either to throw some of the electoral vote to
another splinter party or to the Republicans.
That the alternative of going Republican
Is already being considered in much Of the South
has been indicated in the bitterness of the strife
between Eisenhower and Taft partisans in
choosing Republican convention delegations.
Led for the most part by younger voters the
Eisenhower campaign has gained impressive
public support in several Southern States, with
Texas the most notable example. The general
has now promised that if he wins the nomination
he will make at least one major campaign speech
in the South and he already has gained Southern
favor by declaring himself in favor Of voluntary
State aAion rather than compulsory Federal

Irony Thut Missed Fire

The Bergman cartoon Of June 6
would seem to be a deliberate insult to
the readers intelligence. Senator Taft
is depicted as me too" follower of
Gen. Eisenhower in the latter's recently
avowed opposition to the New Deal phi
losophy of government
The historical fact is that long before
Gen. Ike was suggested as a possible
presidential candidate, and since the in
ception of the plan of the New Deal
conspirators to pattern the economic
and political ideology of this country on
that of the Soviet Union, Senator Taft
has consistently fought against all So
cialistic and freedom pro-
posalS of the Roosevelt and Truman
administrations. He is entitled to the
thanks of all Americans for his valiant
efforts to preserve the American way of
life.
Therefore, the shoe is most decidedly
on the other foot. and the general has
adopted the Senator's views on domestic
issues, as perforce he must to have any
chance of securing the nomination. The
sincerity of Senator Taft has never been
questioned, while that of Gen. Ike must
be viewed with considerable doubt until
he has reconciled his present position
with the fact that in 1914 he placed
his stamp of approval on the New Deal
by voting for Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The Star apparently believes that the
destiny Of this country would be safer
in the hands of a political neophyte
than an experienced legislator, and is
prepared to justify that belief How
ever. it is to be hoped that for the re-
mainder of the current campaign The
Star will temper it's zeal for Gen. Ike's
cause with a reasonable measure of rec
ognition of established facts.

Arubs and Taft
Your distinguished newspaper pub
lished on June story where my
friend and colleague Ernie Hill re-
ports that Arab journalists are writing
Of Senator Taft as "the great white
hope" for their area, and that their pro-
Taft dispatches are quoting "high
source" in their legations in the United
States. AS one of the two Arab cor
respondents interviewed by Mr.. Hill, may
I be permitted to make the following
Qualification?
While my newspaper, Al-MiSri, has
been giving wide space to the presi-
dental campaign, do not recall one
instance where my reporting favored
Senator Taft's nomination. 1t is also
matter of record that we have never
published stories quoting the alleged
pro-Taft sentiment of any high source"
in any Arab legation in Washington or
in any Arab delegation in the United
Nations. Arab diplomats here have
always felt that that was an exclusive
business of the American people.
Since my views as a correspondent
were invited, I did state that from an
Arab point of view the charges of "isola-
tionism' against Senator Taft are ridic-
ulous. Senator Taft's support to Zionism
in the Arab-Israeli conflict and his deep
silence with regard to British imperialis-
tic policy in Egypt or French colonialism
in North Africa are. we believe, in con-
formity with the best traditions of the
Democratic administration "internation-
alism." Senator Taft has never con-
demned the misuse of Marshall Plan
funds and Atlantic pact arms by the
French and the British to further their
political and economic domination Of the
Arab peoples in North Africa and the
Middle East.
If Senator Taft is for economy, he GER
tainly did not hesitate last year to
sponsor congressional resolution call
ing for an additional $150-million grant,
aid to Israel.
In the light of these facts, Mr.. Hills
assertion that the Arabs consider Taft
as the great white hope" for their areas
is but insulting to Arab intelligence.

A Matter of Good Faith

Although his decision comes rather late.
Melvin Hildreths concurrence in the proposal to
close the books on the District SeSqucentennial
and on its pageant Faith of Our Fathers" is
nonetheleSS welcome. His suggestion that all
funds remaining after repair of the Rock Creek
Park amphitheater be used to build national
opera house in Washington is interesting But
such use of the unexpended balance would
require specific approval of Congress
There is no good excuse for the dillydallying
that has been going on since the executive COM
mittee of the Sesquicentennial Commission voted
last December to end the celebration and refund
the approximately $1.4 million left of the original
IS million appropriation. The committees sound
recommendation has been gathering dust pend
ing meeting of the full commission to act on it,
Meanwhile the $4,000 payroll on the Sesqui staff
has been maintained without interruption, ap-
parently in the hope of Executive Secretary Hill
dreth and the staff that the celebration could be
prolonged at least another season.
The Sesquicentennial Commission as mat
ter OF good faith, should meet without further
delay and take whatever steps are necessary to
turn back to the Treasury the unobligated por-
ton OF its appropriation. Congress then can de-
eide the question of what additional USE if any,
should be made of the leftover money.

Take q Law, Please

The British concept of government by law
rather than by men is being dangerously
stretched-and sure enough the villain" in the
piece is woman.
This time it is DR.. Edith Summerskill who
is sponsoring law in weak-wiled Parliament
by which the British courts would be driven into
a CHASTITY alliance with British wives to force
British husbands to divide up their take-home
pay. It seems that the British husband, true
to the traditions Of British dignity and aloofness,
has never made practice of telling all to the
alittle woman" In his own coed time he has
made available few shillings, or pounds, or
whatever, to meet the tradesman's accounts but
there has seldom If ever, been any noSy ques-
tioning about the true state of the family ex-
chequer or the most recent increase in remit
tance. Obviously 1t has been a sound system
symbolizing the sturdy qualities of our older
cousins on the male side.
Now comes this Summerskill person with
lot of radical ideas that there is no more certain
way of alternating woman's affections"
Our only reasonable hope is that the whole
affair will have reverse spin in the American
Congress, and perhaps result in a law over here
that viii permit husbands to keep half Of that
take-home pay. But even If such legislation
were introduced, some of our distaf lawmakers
probably would move to strike out all after the
enacting clause"
