P).-A Czech refugee who says
he escaped from a Communist

Bishops Buzalka and Gojdic

nents for political purposes. The
general is very likely to be q
national President who seeks
the best men in both political
parties. Bi-partisanship in for
eign policy will not be q gesture
but q real plan for two-party
cooperation.
Already the President-elect is
giving an example Of fairness
and even-handedn In dealing
with the factions within his
party. He is, moreover, han
ding himself with dignity and
with courtesy toward his de-
feated opponents. It may be
that he viii consider appointing
Gov. Stevenson to a post Of Inn
portance in the international
field, possibly at the head Of the
American delegation to the
United Nations.
It Is significant to note. too.
that the general didn't take
offense at the very sarcastic
comment in the message from
President Truman to him the
day after election when the
President said he would put his
plane at the disposal of the
general IF you still desire to 60
to Korea" The innuendo that
the President-elect would con-
slider backing out on his spec
tacular pledge, now that he had
won the election, was uncalled
for, but Gen. Eisenhower ignored
it.
The way the President-elect
will work is to pick men who
have an intimate knowledge of
governmental affairs and ask
them for their opinions and for
the facts-and then he'll make
up his own mind. He will make
mistakes, just as his predecessors
have, but the spirit of conscien-
tiouS devotion to duty which the
general will reflect cannot but
make his mistakes subject to
correction once he recognizes the
errors.
It is a safe assumption that,
while Gen. Eisenhower will not
be a partisan President, he will
not hesitate to build up the Re-
publican Party for its Con-
gressional test in 1854 and for
the big campaign of 1856.

And the ad-men's campaign
does not build up a candidate.
1t builds him down by divorc-
ing him from his own character.
Nothing was more apparent in
the promotion of Gen. Eisen-
hover. One hardly recognized
the man one had known.
Does this mean that the
general could not, on his own,
present case articulately, logi-
cally, forcefully? Nonsense!
Compare the speeches he made
during the campaign with those
in Europe for NATO-especially
the Guild Hall speech in Lon
don. It echoed like a fresh
breath through all Europe. He
was not then being advised by

are always written or aided by
those deeply and devotedly in
terested in the great aspects Of
politics-its philosophical, eco

and poetical elements. No ad-
vertising man thought up Lin

I am not criticizing this way

there is no spray, no pill, and no

instead, an enormous range of

No intelligence service can

I tried to remember when
Senator Maybank had refused
to support any recommendations
OF any President that he con-
Sidered sound, constitutional
and for the good of the coun-
try. No such occasion came to
mind. So I was left wondering
whether it has become news
when a man refuses to bite a
dog.
The wondering didn't cease on
reading further that Senator
Byrd Of Virginia had said that
Southern Democratic support
for sound measures" would
give the new administration "a
clear majority" in Congress.
There never has been any ques-
tlon as to that. The only ques-
tlon has been what success
Adlai Stevenson, if elected, could
nave expected in his efforts to
buck the well-established Re-

could be sustained?

5. After the conventions, it
was said-especially in Europe
that Gen. Eisenhower had
swallowed Senator Taft's views
on international policy and had
therefore become an isolation
ist," but the Senator is, of
course, not an isolationist, for
he favors international cooper
alton. AS leader Of the Senate, he
will have the same problem the
late Senator Vandenberg had in
trying to keep the Republican
Party united in support OF
treaties and international agree
ments made by the United
States with other nations.
There will be no swing to
"isolationism" and no swing to-
ward letting Europe have money
without limit for economic re-
habilitation or military pur-
poses. It will be a revision of
appropriations that not only
the Republican Party, with one
or two exceptions, but many of
the Southern Democrats will
support.
6. After the conventions, it
was said that. having a military

be anxious to enlarge the war,
especially in the Far East. Mr..

saying the same thing now in

found to be striving more to win
the "cold war" and prevent
World War III than to compel
any showdown on the military
side.
Z. After the conventions, it
was said Gen. Eisenhower had

Harold Stassen will be the Sec

a far cry from an "anti-labor"
setup.

Our Western European friends
are also worried that the Presi-

known-will insist that as far
as effective preparedness of the
NATO is concerned they had
better fish or cut bait.
A strong sentiment already is
developing in Congress, among
members of both parties. to the
effect that unless something in
that direction is done in the
immediate future, we had better
rewrite the entire MSA program.
The general idea is not to break
up the NATO, but to give effec-
tive assistance to all those who
genuinely wish to prepare them
selves to oppose the Communist
menace.
This would mean greatly
stepped-up military and finan-
cial assistance to such countries
as Germany, Spain, Turkey,
Greece and Yugoslavia, with a
corresponding reduction in the
help given to the charter men,
bers' of the coalition, who are
still dragging their feet.
Gen. Eisenhower has given no
official indication of his plans
so far. But those close to him
say he is becoming impatient
with those allies who not only
are doing little to live up to their
commitments but also want to

dispute that if the oil depletion

So far it has been stymied in

Realizing the difficulties of
mobilizing the necessary man

lies, Washington, following Gen.
Eisenhower'S advice as of the
time he was supreme COM

arming of 100000 West Ger

accepted it and agreed to pro-

$2.5 billion for that purpose.

| exus johnson as Senate Leoder
Senator Likely to Get Democratic Post Despite Fears
OF Some in Party Over Oil Interests Pressure

Senator Lyndon johnson of
Texas is being backed for Dem
ocratic leader by the same in
fluences, chiefly Southern, which
chose his two most recent pred
ecessors. Scott Lucas of Illinois
and Ernest Mcfarland of Ari-
xona.
Both were defeated two years
later at the first general election
following their assumption of
the. post. Senator Johnson also
comes up in two years.
Despite these deadly parallels,
the Texan apparently has made
up his mind that he wants the
Job. During a visit here early
this week to canvass the situa-
ton, he received cordial mes
sages, including many outright
Endorsements from a big ma
jority of his colleagues. An OBJ
Jective check supports his con-
f1dence that he may not even
have token opposition.
Many national party leaders
are deeply unhappy about the
prospect o. Senator johnson as
a major Democratic spokesman.
A certain result would be in
creased pressure upon Gov. Ste
venson to make his titular lead
ership both actual and ardent.
Generally speaking, objectors
to Senator johnson believe that
his home State pressures have
forced an6 will continue to force
him into positions incompatible
with national leadership.
They fear most, not his civil
rights opposition as might be
expected but the influence of
the great oil and gas interests of
