Ike's Week

Since Civil War reconstruction
days, presidential candidates OF
both major parties have written of
the South as solidly Democratic
and have made few appeals for
Southern votes. Last week, EiSen-
hover decided it was worth a two
day trip through Dixie to try to
crack the South and, incidentally,
to give Stevenson few worries.
Eisenhower flew into Atlanta 88
years after another Yankee general,
named Sherman, rode into the same
town. Ike's reception was far
warmer-on the part Of the natives.
In fact 1t was the friendliest given
to any candidate in the memory of
any political observer there. AS he
flew. on and stopped at Jackson
vile, Miami, Tampa, Birmingham
and Little Rock, the enthusiasm Of
the Southerners stayed at high
pitch.
He gave them all basically the
same speech. He said first that
the South was not captive Of the
Democrats and urged them to vote
Republican. The crowds cheered.
He charged then that the Demo-
Gratis had made q 'top-to-bo bottom"
mess Of their long administration
and said 1t was time to- change.
The crowds cheered more fervently.
Evoiuotion
A sober evaluation Of his trip,
however, would discount any prob
ability that Ike could sweep the
South on election day. Cheers and
large crowds are not reliable indi-
Gators Of voting strength. During
the presidential primaries, for in
stance, Senator Taft drew 1000 en-
thusiastic citizens to q rally in
Berlin, N. H., but only 333 Berliners
voted for him. On the other hand.

Campaign Step-Up
THE PRESIDENTIAL candidate

THE PRESIDENTIAL candidates
I started playing for keeps last
week. Both Gen. Eisenhower and
Gov. Stevenson accepted the tradi-
tional signal for a campaign kick
off-Labor Day-and hit for the
hustings.
Ike made his Southern swing,
formally launched his TV campaign
and then started a Western tour.
Adlai made a fast series of stops in
Michigan, got his Tv campaign of
to a start, and then left on a tour
of the West and Midwest. Their
paths crossed in a plowed field in
Minnesota yesterday, where they
interrupted the serious business Of
finding out which farmer can pillow
straightest, farthest and fastest
and scratched for the farmer vote.

Wooing Formers

Eisenhower apparently outdid
Stevenson in promising things to
the farmers when they spoke at
the -liticar' day in Kasson.
Minn., yesterday.
Ike went beyond the g. o. p.
platform to plug for eventual price
supports to farmers at 100 per cent
OF parity, instead of the present 90
per cent. He also wanted to deal
IN more farmers, those who produce

The Fighting

While the talking stumbled to a
virtual halt, the United Nations
fighting men found the Korean war
was continuing at a somewhat
hotter pace. About 100000 Allied
soldiers faced about ! million
Communists. Small ground units
clashed daily across the battle line
and U. N. bombers sought out the
scattered military targets still
standing in North Korea. Allied
and Red jets tangled sporadically.
Net result was that the Commu-
nists, whose strength lay in man
power, were building up. Commu-
mist troops with light supplies could
move down from the Manchurian
sanctuary in driblets that were
hard to bomb. U. N. strength has
been relatively static. We depend
on superior equipment and greater
f1repower per man to match the
Reds.
Last weeks fighting was typical.
Ground action was limited to
probes by small units on both sides,
mostly around Old Baldy and
Bunker Hill. No territory changed
hands. The air war, after being
stymied by bad weather, picked up
Thursday, and Allied jets shot down
IL Communist MIG-15s. It was
the second best daily bag of the
entire Korean war.
The Navy took a leading part in
the show with its two-day blast-
ing of Red installations near the
Siberian-North Korean border.
Carrier based bombers and fighters
bombed and strafed a refinery 8
miles from the border and hit an
iron works and other military
targets. Then cruisers moved in
and shelled the port of Chongjin,
so miles from Siberia.

President Truman spoke to an all
most empty auditorium in Omaha
in 1948 but carried Douglas County
in November.
If Eisenhower's warmeSt reception
was at Atlanta, this is not par
ticularly surprising. BY Southern
metropolitan standards, Atlanta is
a Republican stronghold. Two
hundred ninety Eight out Of every
thousand voters in Fulton County
were Republicans in 1948, making
Atlanta the eighth out of Georgia's
159 counties in proportionate Re-
publican strength.
Republicans polled from 8 to AZ
per cent of the presidential vote
in Southern States in 1948. Ike had
a long way to go to push the G. o. P.
vote over so per cent in a significant
number of States this year. Geor-
gia, with its county-unit system
that gives one voter if a rural
county the strength of 80 voters in
Atlanta, could conceivably give
Eisenhower humping popular
majority but still deliver the States
electoral vote to the Democrats.
Southern Democratic leaders were
most cordial to Eisenhower, but only
one openly threw his support to the
G. o. P. ticket. Unless more leaders
reverse their stands, Ike will not get
organized Democratic support. He
and his hackers did not predict that
his personal popularity in the South
was enough to carry the day.
Stevenson himself said he was
not worried, but his advisers said
Eisenhower's good showing might at
least force Stevenson to spend more
time counting the South. Others
said Ike's reception was just South
ern hospitality"
Foreign Policy
Eisenhower picked Philadelphia
for his television performance. He
obviously had been listening to his
boosters who had cried for fight
ing campaign" He blamed the
Democratic administration for most
of the worlds present troubles and
got specific on the plumbers" he
said led up to the Korean war. He
said the administration grossly
underestimated" the threat In the
Far East, allowed American strength
to fade away, abandoned China,
failed to build up South Korean
strength and wrote OF the Far East
"as beyond our direct concern"
Then Eisenhower went on to out
line his own 10-point program to
win the peace. His program sounded
more like the. Democratic admin
istration's announced detectives
than the Taft-wing plan for peace,
but he said he would set up en-
administration that could be trusted
by the people and would be firm
rather than wavering.

The Mon

Ordinarily, political campaigns
are conducted on one OF two bases
the personalities or the issues. In
the wisconsin Republican primary,
the two are so closely interviewer
that they cannot be separated.
Mccarthy is the personality; he Is
also the issue.
He has five opponents on the Re-
publican senatorial primary ballot.
ONLY one seems to amount to much.
He is Leonard Schmitt, a 5O-year-
old Northern Wisconsin lawyer
whose national notice to date de-
rives principally from his use OF the
new radio and televiSion "talka-
thon" technique. Whatever may be
said for or against Schmitt, he Is
not reticent about parading before
the voters of wisconsin the foibles
of the man he hopes to replace IN
the Senate. Mccarthy, according
to Schmitt, has committed just
about every political sin in the
calendar.
Chorqes Against Him
Even though the Nation already
has been apprised Of most OF these
sins, Mr.. schmitt is repeating them
as often as the people will listen.
He doesn't want Wisconsin's voters
to forget any Of them.
Here are some OF his major
points: Mccarthy has been cen
sured twice by the wisconsin Su-
preme Court for misconduct as
circuit Judge, once for destroying
evidence in a case he heard, an
other time for violating the State
constitution by running for Senator
before his term on the bench had
expired. He has had at least three
brushes with wisconsin income tax
officials. He sold a 7,000-word ar
ticle to the now-defunct Lustron
Corp. manufacturer OF prefabri-
Gated homes) for $4,000 while serv-
ing as vice chairman OF a joint
congressional housing committee.
He has told conflicting, unsubstan-
tiated stories about alleged Com
munists in Government. He took
part in the 1850 Maryland political
campaign which defeated Senator
Tydings, campaign later described
by Senate Investigators as a "des-
picable, back street type"
These are not routine campaign
smears. They are matters of rec
ord, How this side Of his record
weighs against the pro-McCarthy
side on the wisconsin voters
scales won't be known until Tues
day, but there is reason to believe
that the revulsion is not as wide
spread as people outside Wisconsin
seem to believe 1t Is.

A RECURRING phenomenon In
"A American politics is the rau-
cous. unstatesmanlike offlceholder
who, by one stratagem or another,
builds himself up into a figure of
wide, If not high. repute. Such a
man. a couple of decades ago, was
Huey p. Long, the "kingfish" OF
Louisiana. Such a man today is
Joseph r. Mccarthy, 42-year- r-old,
dark -joweled, pugnacious figure
who has made his name both a
byword and cuss word in Ameri-
can politics.
Mccarthy, after six adventure
filled years on Capitol Hill, is back
before the voters of Wisconsin. This
Tuesday, he will ask Republicans to
nominate him for another term in
the Senate. Thus, the election will
be the first real test of what is now
known as "McCarthyism."
It is a paradox that Joe Nc
Carthy-he now signs even official
mail "Joe'-is at once an embar-
rassment to both political parties
and a campaign-time asset to both.
But paradox or not, Joe McCar-
thy's candidacy is one of the most
controversial issues before the
voters this year, because he himself
is probably the most controversial
man In public life today.
Sovior or Sinner?
To hear Joe Mccarthy tell 1t, he
is the savior of America from the
red hands of Communism. To hear
his worst enemies tell it, "McCar-
thyism" is everything from witch
burning to a diversion that Is more
help than harm to the Kremlin.
Until the voters of Wisconsin
speak, most Of the national Repub-
lican Party's leadership seems to be
holding it's peace, waiting to see
what will happen when destiny and
Joe Mccarthy meet face to face.

crops other than the "basics," such
as wheat, corn, cotton and tobacco.
Stevenson noted that Ike was
promising one thing, the G. o. P.
platform promised less, and most
Republicans in Congress had voted
against what their platform now
promises. His advice to the farmers
was to stick with the Democrats,
who have built a firm record Of
generosity for the farmer.

Tax Probes Again

"HEN Theron Lamar Caudle
" appeared on Capitol Hill last
week, and an investigating commit
tee began to release complicated
stories of funny business in the JUS
tice Department, newspaper read
ers got the vague feeling they had
gone through all this before. Ac-
tually, there was something old and
something new in last weeks
stories.
It all went back more than year
ago when the King subcommittee
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee set out to investigate charges
OF corruption in the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue, part OF the Treas
ury Department. The King sub
committee found corruption all
right; several tax collectors were
fired and some were jailed.
The subcommittee traced some of
the mishandling of tax-fraud cases
to the Justice Department, the
group which is supposed to prose-
cute citizens who chisel Uncle Sam
out of the tax money due the Treas
ury Department. So the subcom-
mittee widened its inquiry to take
In Justice. One Of the first persons
taken in was Mr.. Caudle, chief of
the Tax Division. Caudle conceded
last fall that he had several friends
among persons mixed up in tax
fraud cases and that he had ac-
cepted several expensive favors
from these friends. Mr.. Truman
fired him.
Then Come CheIf
As the Ways and Means Commit
tees province lay mainly in the
Treasury Department, the House
Judiciary Committee decided early
this year to pick up the ball on the
Justice Department cases. The
Chelf subcommittee was set up to
do the job. It has held intermittent
hearings all year. One bit of testi-
mony last spring was followed by
the firing of Cleanup Man New
bold Morris and Attorney General
J. Howard McGrath.
The investigation seemed to be
slowing down until last week when
Mr.. Caudle came in for three closed
sessions with the subcommittee.
Details of what he said were not
revealed, but Representative Chelf,
Democrat, Of Kentucky said Caudle
had given him raft of new leads.
Caudle, who had entertained the
onlookers last fall with his sonorous
Southern drawl and air of injured
innocence, played 1t straighter this
trip. He said he was cooperating
fully with the Chelf subcommittee
In an attempt to clear his name,
and was scheduled for more ses-
sions with the group this week end.
New Cases
After Caudle's first session last
week, the subcommittee called In
James A. Mutually, former Justice
Department attorney who was sus-
pended by new Attorney General
James p. McGranery pending an
investigation into Mullally's outside
activities. Mullally subsequently re-
signed.
He told the subcommittee he had
received $570 from a Washington
law firm, made up of ex-Justice
Department attorneys, when he
steered their way company facing
prosecution for alleged violation of
the pure food laws. The law firm
accepted the company's case, got
Caudle to drop charges and then
passed $570 on to Mutually as q
gift subcommittee members did
not say II they believed the trans
action was improper.

AdIui's Week

Gov. Stevenson picked Labor Day
to 60 into more detail on his labor
policy. He told Detroit audience
in Cadillac Square that the Taft
Hartley law should be repealed and
replaced with q new one. His new
law would differ from Hartley
by defining more clearly the rights
and responsibilities of labor and
by rejecting the Ito labor odious
injunction as a means of settling
national-emergency strikes. He did
not offer an alternative method Of
stopping or avoiding such strikes.
In speeches in Hamtramck,
Grand Rapids and Flint. Stevenson
pledged firmness but not reckless
ness in his foreign policy and
advocated extension Of social se-
curity laws to cover unemployment

The Prospects

Mccarthy himself has been
outwardly pessimistic about his
chances next Tuesday. He says he
doesn't know how to figure the
Schmitt talkathon's effectiveness.
But this attitude is being written
of as mainly means to prod his
own organization to maximum ef-
fort. Informal polls and private
guesseS are consistent in favoring
the Senator for denomination.
Two big factors are on McCarthy's
side. He has the State machine
behind him; he has convinced lots
of people that he. has done some
thing that needed doing. These
are generally estimated to be ad-
vantages that will Offset ~ the
effects of WiSconsin's open primary
system, which permits Democrats
to cross over into the Republican
primary, and (2) the opposition of
three prominent Wisconsin news
papers, the Milwaukee Journal, the
Madison Capital Times and the
Sheboygan Press.
Tom Coleman, head of the Wis
consin State machine, boosted Nc
Carthy on his way in the 1916 pri-
mary by helping him defeat young
Bob LaFollette, a veteran Of 81
years in the Senate. Coleman again
has thrown the State committees
support behind Mccarthy. Only
one prominent Republican, veteran
Secretary of State Fred Zimmer-
man, has dared to come out against
Mccarthy and he has lost g. o. p.
Endorsement because of it.
Kohler Supports Him
Gov. Kohler is supporting Nc
Carthy, although he is not particu-
larly fond of the Senator. He takes
the official G. o. p. line that there
is enough substance in the Nc
Carthy accusations to warrant
another investigation. Ex-Governor
Oscar Rennebohm, a strong critic
of Mccarthy, won't support Schmitt
either, and favors no one In the
primary.
The tip-off on the outcome Tues
day may be that both Rennebohm
and Kohler toyed with the idea Of
opposing Mccarthy in this primary,
but were persuaded that they prob
ably could not win.
The Democrats are having a race
of their own in the Wisconsin pri-
mary that is expected to keep
enough Democrats busy in their
own election to prevent their do
ing Mccarthy In. The favorits Is
