More Than Finqer Of Suspicion
State Department Should Apologize to People for Its Guby
In Succumbing to Reds Formulating Far East Policy

Smith, Democrat, of North Car
olina having been president Of
the American Bar Association.
Other members of the commit
tee served on the bench in their
respective States before coming
to the Senate. Here are Sena-
tors of both political parties
who weighed the evidence in a
lengthy examination at which
all witnesses were given an op-
portunity to refute the charges
and answer questions.
AS a consequence of the
interrogation, in two cases
those of Owen baltimore and
John P. Davies. jr.-the Senate
committee recommends that the
Justice Department send the
contradictions in testimony to
a Federal grand jury for a de-
cision as to whether perjury
indictments should or should
not be made.
The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee recommends a new in
vestigation of Communist in
filtration into and influence
upon the Treasury Department
and other agencies forming and
administering fiscal and mon
etary policies" and also a new
inquiry into "the role of Alger
Hiss in the formulation of
foreign policy of t he United
States and his influence on
personnel decisions in the State
Department."
The whole record is volu-
minous. but the conclusions of
the Senate committee are
briefly stated. Senator Nc
Carran summed them up as he
said to the Senate:
II am convinced, from the
evidence developed in this In
quiry, that but for the machin-
ations of the small group that
controlled and activated the
Institute of Pacific Relations.
China today would be free and
a bulwark against a further
advance of the Red hordes into
the Far East"
This is but another way of
saying that American casualties
in Korea, which now exceed
100, 900, can be laid at the door,
step Of the State Department
in having allowed American
influence in the Far East to
deteriorate to the point where
the Communists dared to risk
an aggression in Korea.

David LoWrence:

Perhaps the State Depart
ment, which was so quick to
apologize to a citizen for a mix
up on a passport. will now
apologize to the American
people for the gullible way it
succumbed to the Vaccinations
of Communist Sympathizers and
fellow travellers in formulating
United States policy in the Far
East-this is the challenge
which stands out plainly in the
report just filed with the Senate
by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee of which Senator Pat
McCarran, Democrat, Of Nevada,
is chairman.
After more than a year Of
hearings, preceded by five
months Of intensive investiga-
ton of the Institute of Pacific
Relations, the Senate commit
tee, composed of Republicans
and Democrats, now '- makes
public a report which points
more than a finger of suspicion
at the communistic influences
that led to the loss Of China
to the Communists. It fatty
accuses the State Department
of having permitted, for exam
pie, persons who are termed
instruments of the Soviet con-
spiracy, to shape American
policy.
The report is lengthy and
gives chapter and verse in case
after case where a number Of
witnesses identified several in
dividualS as Communists and
fellow travellers" who appar-
emily had access through Ameri-
can officials to the White House
as well as to the State Depart
ment.
The Institute Of Pacific Rela-
tionS, which drew to its mem
bership not only innocent per-
sons but financial support from
corporations and foundations
which did not know the true
purposes Of the institute. was
subjected to a very penetrating
examination both through pub
lie hearings and through files
which revealed a vast amount
of evidence linking up the in
stitute with Soviet policy and
programs Of propaganda.

Northern States. However that
may be, Gov. Jimmy Byrnes
says 1t isn't going to happen,
that he won't let it. He won't
accept Adlai Stevenson. Gov.
Stevenson favors Federal action
If the States refuse or fail to do
anything about fair employment
practices.
Gov. Byrnes Is taking his new
role as the Big Man Of the South
seriously. He is prepared to lead
a secession movement within the
Democratic Party rather than
yield on civil rights. For this,
however, he will need a candi-
date with popular appeal. The
one man the rest of the South
wants Is Senator Dick Russell.
But Mr.. Russell has indicated
his utter unwillingness to take
on the Jefferson Davis role.
Knowing this, it may be that
Jimmy is willing to fall back on
a former Secretary of State and
former Supreme Court justice
named ByrneS.

G. Q. P. Battle Produces Joke
Also Guarantees American Public the Priceless Privilege
Of Seeing Mccarthy, Cain, KEN, Bridges on Screen

This Democrat was walking
past the White House chuckling
to himself and I asked him what
was so funny. He said he had
Just thought of a good joke.
"It doesn't make any differ
ence which wins at Chicago. Ike
or Taft" he said; ''it will be a
pyorrhea victory"
"You mean pyrrhic-"
mo, that's the joke: pyorrhea.
See? There won't be any bite
left in the party. Haw! Good
Joke. Made it myself"
Listening to the beating Of
the gums in the Windy City
this week, with the battle only
beginning, lends force to the
iokester's forecast. The Repub-
licans out there are really get
ting mad at one another. The
Eisenhower forces are embit-
tered by the shennanigans Of
the Taft machine and the Taft
forces by the efforts Of Ike's
managers to show up their shen-
nanigans in public.
The row over television Is the
real thing. The Ike men have
believed the National Commit
tee wouldn't have the nerve to
go through with what they call
the steal of certain, Southern
State delegations II the foul
deed had to perpetrated in the
face Of millions Of television
viewers. The Taft men were
outraged by the attempt to in
wade the privacy Of the Ma
tional Committee, contrary to
long established custom. The
Taft men decided against Ike
and the public.

And SO we won't have televi-
sion to help us understand what
politics is like behind the iron
curtain in the satellite States
Of the South. We will, however,
have television to help us un-
derstand something else. Ma
tional Chairman Gabrielson has
announced his list of guest
speakers at the convention. It
includes just four United States
Senators-McC Carthy, Cain, KEN
and Bridges.
Each session of Congress one
of the national magazines polls
the hard-eyed correspondents in
the press gallery. The corre-
spondents are asked to name the
best" and the worst" Sena-
tors. BY curious coincidence or
something. Senator Mccarthy
has led the list of worst Sena-
tors and Cain, KEN and Bridges
have been among the close run
nerS-up. So we may learn why
the correspondents think the
way they do. even if we don't
learn what moved Mr.. Gabriel
son in making his selections.
Well, the Democrats are hav-
ing their troubles, too. Some Of
the party's master minds have
been promoting the idea that
the ideal ticket would be Gov.
Stevenson and Senator Russell.
Such a ticket. they have thought,
would unite the North and the
South and prevent any walking
out by the Southern States in
the fall. They have seemed to
believe that Stevenson's name
would be sufficient to hold the
important Negro vote in the

people, is rigging the nomina-
ton for Senator Taft.
'They won't like being associ-
ated with such actions and our
statements are all beamed at
making them as uncomfortable
about it as possible.
1T must also be apparent to
Republicans who are running
for Office this fall that their
fortunes will be affected adj
versely by being on the ticket
with q presidential candidate
who has tolerated such q per-
formance. We are bringing their
vital personal interest in all
this home to them at every
opportunity"
In talking with delegates and
leaders, Eisenhower spokeSmen
make much Of the fact that the
General is way ahead Of the
Senator in popularity with Re-
publican Governors. They stress
that Governors know better
what the people like than the
"fat cats" who make up the
national committee.
There are no signs that the
steamroller will come to q vol
untary halt. With his present
talk of compromise, Senator
Taft shows that he is aware of
the danger to him in so bitter q
fight but he has put his hand to
the plow.
AS for Gen. Eisenhower, the
delegates in convention assem-
bled afford his last, best hope.
He must wonder some days how
he ever happened to forget that
between him and the great pub
lie demand he was told about
stood a political organization
like the national committee.
Maybe he forgot because he
never realized 1t. He realizes it
now. though.
