A Gallant Loser

Adlai Stevenson was as graceful in defeat
early today as he was in the victory Of his nomi-
nation by the Democratic convention last July
His eloquent speech of acceptance in Chicago was
pitched on the same note that marked his NOV
ing statement conceding loss of the election and
his telegram Of congratulation to General Eisen-
hover this morning. In the intervening months
OF the past campaign-a rough chapter in our
political history distinguished by its lavish use
Of purple ink and bitter invective-he has con-
Quoted himself in an exemplary manner that
carries its own reward For on this morning
after the night before, he can have few regrets
for anything he has said
Governor Stevenson brought to this campaign
something that was refreshing because it seemed
SO new. He showed himself to be truly humble
man, not only by what he said but by the way
he said It, He lightened his speeches with a
touch of genuine humor that was able to survive
the criticism of those who, in the Illustration of
protecting themselves from this secret weapon,
sought to label him a buffoon and "wise-
cracker" His respect for the English language
made him avoid the tiresome cliches and the
empty puffery that are accepted parts Of the
political lingo of the times. He never seemed
to surrender the principle that a man can be
tough fighter in dirty political arena and
still remain gentleman.
These qualities did not win an election nor
should they ever become accepted as the issues
Of campaign. But they undeniably stood out.
Our people, as human experience has taught all
people to do, measure a man by what he is
and not by whether he happens to win or lose.
A fine tribute to Governor Stevenson is that
when doubt was heavily assailing Republicans,
painting for long-delayed victory, 50 many Of
these determined partisans found comfort in the
thought that regardless of who won the election,
the country would be in good hands. Known
to few when he began the campaign, Governor
Stevenson has left an impression with millions
of his fellow citizens that will outlast the men,
ory of his devastating defeat.

Defyinq the Trend

One Of the real surprises Of this surprising
election is the showing made by Edmund D.
Campbell, Democrat, in the congressional race
in Virginia's new Tenth District.
With better than $4,000 votes cast in the
district, Mr.. Campbell appears to have been
defeated by his Republican opponent, Joel Broy-
hill. The margin between defeat and victory,
however, is microscopically small. The unofficial
tabulations vary. Some give MIR. Broyhill
victorious edge of about 400 votes; others pare
it down to less than 100. So it Is conceivable
that the official tally or perhaps recount, will
reverse the picture and declare Mr.. Campbell
the winner.
however, that comes as surprise. The surprise
lies in the circumstances under which the strong
Campbell showing was made.
Many Democrats believing Mr.. Campbell to
be at heart an anti-organization man, did not
support him. The general belief was that he
had little chance to win unless Governor Steven
son carried the district, but the Governor was
beaten by the incredible total Of almost $4,000
votes. The Non-Partisans, presumed to be the
hard core of Mr.. Campbell's support, also went
down to defeat. So how does one account for
the remarkable Campbell showing?
His opponent undoubtedly lost some votes as
result of the criticism of houses built for
veterans by the firm with which he is associated.
As well-to-do real estate man, Mr.. Broyhill
may also have suffered from handicap in that
respect. But these hardly seem to be adequate
explanations. Perhaps the best answer hes in
the effective campaign waged by Mr.. Campbell
In the closing weeks Of the campaign, plus the
unpredictabity Of voter reaction In any election.

First Time Voter Thwurted

Having lived in the District Of Colun1-
bia most Of my life, this was the first
time could look forward to exercising
my privilege to vote. When went to
register at Fairfax Courthouse, was
informed by q very disinterested public
servant that my poll tax for 1850 had
not been paid. No notification Of this
oversight had been brought to my atten-
ton, and nothing could be done about
it according to State law. This does not
speak well for the proud State OF Vir-
ginia. Mr. r. Mcchee. Jr.

Republican Year in MARYLAND

The Republican sweep in Maryland came in
the wake Of bitter Democratic factional fights
that had marked the political rise Of the de-
feated Democratic candidate for Senator George
p. Mahoney. Mr.. Mahoneys free-swinging style
of campaigning had been directed in the past
two years not only at Republicans but at stalwart
leaders Of his own party. The wounds were not
easily healed. His divisive tactics had no small
part in adding to the 45o00-vote margin of the
victor, Representative J. Glenn Beall, Of the
Western Maryland district.
Mr.. Mahoney has been blamed by many DEM
ocrats for the election Of a Republican Governor
in 1850. In that primary campaign he bitterly
attacked incumbent Democratic Governor Lane.
against whom he ran as an anti-organization
candidate. This year he waged q similar attack
on veteran Representative Sasscer, of Prince
Georges County, charging him with leadership Of
q political machine that had permitted graft and
corruption to exist Neither Mr.. Lane nor Mr..
Sasscer evidenced any admiration for Mr. Ma
honey during his contest for the seat vacated by
Senator OConor, who did not seek reelection.
Representative Beall meanwhile stood on his
congressional record Of five terms from the 9Th
district and campaigned actively for himself
and for the Eisenhower Nixon ticket. He rolled
up more than 900 votes
Not especially surprising were the Republican
victories in the 5th and 9Th congressional dis
tricts in view Of the national trend. Repub-
lican Frank Smalls outstanding gains were reg
istered in his native Prince Georges County and
two other Southern Maryland counties, Calvert
and Charles. He also carried Howard County.
Democratic Candidate Lankford won only his
home county, Anne Arundel, and st. Marys and
part of Baltimore City, g. o. p Candidate Hyde
swept all of the five counties of the 9Th district.
including industrial Allegheny and Garrett
Counties, where his opponent, Mrs. Werner, had
counted on heavy labor support. But the 9Th
district despite large Democratic registration,
often has voted Republican. It would have been
exceptional If it had behaved differently in this
Republican year.

With the A-Bomb

It's hard to believe that so many
adults are ignorant of the precautions
they must take in the event of an
atomic attack. Even school children
are better informed. That is because
the schools don't ask-they insist that
the children learn about the makeup
of the atomic bomb and what it can do.
When thinking about this threat.
however. we should strive for mass
reasoning and not mass hysteria. Danger
isn't new to man. Disease, famine,
disaster and death are in every daily
newspaper.
The japanese have lived for CEN
turieS around unpredictable volcanoes.
The Swiss live in the very shadows of
potential avalanches. The Dutch live
below the level of the sea-protected
only by man-made dikes.
Yet these people live perfectly normal
lives - without fear - because they
recognize the common danger and are
prepared to meet it at any time.
In learning all we can about atomic
attack, we too, will come to respect it
not to fear 1t to the extent that it warps
our lives
Another asset in preparing ourselves
10 q renewal Of faith. No nation can be
composed entirely of atheists. There
must be and there is q great
number Of our potential enemy's people
who believe in God just as strongly as
we do. They and we. then, have COM
mon bond for good. We must ever have
faith that these people are our potential
friends-not that we are bound and
determined to destroy one another.
Some day, God willing, atomic power
will be all we know it can bean in
strument for good which will provide
q greater abundance of the good things
in life for all the peoples of the earth.

Answers Vishinsky
Sidney Koretz.

There is an obvious reply to Andrei
Vishinsky's latest charge in the United
Nations Assembly that Americans have
committed all sorts of atrocities and
brutalities" against North Korean and
Chinese prisoners Of war, in order to
induce them into saying that they do
not want repatriation.
The answer is: Let the u. N. offer to
remove the prisoners resisting repatria-
tion to some neutral territory-to an
island Of the Indonesian archipelago.
let us Say-where hey can be rescreened
with complete freedom by an interna-
tional commission, in which the q. N.
as well as Soviet Russia may be repre-
sented, to the exclusion of anyone Of the
nations directly involved in the Korean
conflict. (The q. N. is directly involved,
of course. But it may, nevertheless, be
represented by anyone Of the nations not
actively participating in the conflict.
And the same applies to Soviet Russia)
may further suggest that the chair
manship of the commission be con-
ferred on India. AS a matter of logical
ness, the majority of the members of
the commission should be Asians.
AS this repatriation issue has been
touted to be the last obstacle to an
armistice agreement, the solution pro-
pose may well dispose of the propaganda
value inherent to the controversy.
am aware, of course, that some such
proposal has already been made by q
qualified member of the q. N. But I
am still offering this solution as timely
variant, to fit the precise charge Of the
Soviet delegate.
What is to be feared, however, is that
the Kremlin is pretty well convinced to
have put Uncle Sam on the proverbial
barrel, and that there is no earthly
reason why it should desist from rolling
the barrel over and over again.
Yet, the game Is worth the candle
and. in this critical period, it is cool and
calculating craftsmanship that is called
for to resolve the seemingly unsolvable
issue of the Korean War, instead Of the
imphssioned recriminations from both
sides.
