On the matter of cabinet

that Senator Taft feels that
Gen. Eisenhower should have
cleared them with the Senators
whose constituents were being
selected for these high offices,
and that this is a Republican
tradition. This is sometimes
called a gesture of courtesy"
But it is a tradition often
broken in the past. If, more
over. Gen. Eisenhower had

of Labor. the chances are the

given a negative answer. and
this would have gotten into the
headlines as a rift" between
the President-elect and the Illi-

Sometimes the President tells
a Senator of his intention to
appoint a man from his State,
but does not ask for his opinion.
There is really no rule about it
and no necessity to clear cabinet
appointments with Senators and
Representatives. There is, how
ever, in the present situation as
between Senator Taft and Gen.
Eisenhower a peculiar set Of
circumstances. One man beat
the other for the presidential
nomination, and then the loser
turned around and did the ira

Fundamentally the nominee of

have been tactful and politically
wise if Gen. Eisenhower had sat
down with Senator Taft and
told him why he planned to
make certain appointments. It

Ohio Senator was entitled, and

To Tear Down Its First President in Two Decades

Recent events have pointed

A. Taft.
Such is the power OF the

Nothing has happened. But
the thunders of silence, like the

Republicans have got their
first President in 20 years and
they are showing no disposition
to tear him down even in sup

former Senator Burton K.

Choice Of Durkin Recalls Chicaq0
Dewey Even Now With Senator Drksen for That Speech
About Man Who Led Us Down the Road to Defeat

President elect EiSenhoWer's
selection of Martin P. Durkin to
be Secretary of Labor brings up
all sorts of things, including a
vivid picture of one of the most
dramatic incidents of the Chi
cago convention.
The Taft forces were battling
desperately to stave off their
impending defeat. Beaten in the
credentials committee on the
seating of their Texas delega-
ton. they had taken the fight
to the floor of the convention.
Their spokesman was the elo-
quent Senator from Illinois,
Everett Dirksen. Taking the
platform. he proceeded to talk
himself into a passion. The
party, he declared, was being
asked to follow the leadership
of the man who had twice led it
down the road to defeat. He lev
eled his out-thrust jaw, his out
stretched arm and his shaking
finger straight at one of the
members of the New York dele
cation. The television spotlight
instantly picked out the subject
of his scorn, which. to nobody's
surprise, proved to be Gov.
Dewey.
Dewey's expression under the
white light was something to
see. His face froze instantly
into a smile that came close to
being a smirk. It was one to
make the canary-swallowing
cat look like a sour puss. Dewey
recognized the Dirksen play for
what it was. a last effort to turn
whatever anti-Dewey feeling
there might be among the dele
gates against his candidate,
Eisenhower. Under the smile.
or smirk, there probably was
also full confidence that the
battle was over, with Taft de-
feated.

The Federal grand jury and
the McCarran subcommittee
have worked independently but
reached the same conclusion:
That the State Department

Mr.. Dulles is expected to use
a clean broom. He knows hs

done. Also he knows that q

who has kept abreast Of inter-
national affairs since 1919, he
has only a perfunctory knowl-
edge of what used to be called

of fellow. For four years, after
"A, he resented the charge
of many Republicans that he
alone was responsible for the
party's defeat. He resented it
for another four years after '48.
He resented it as he sat there
hearing it hurled once more
in Dirksens insulting tones. You
could almost see him saying to
himself that he would get even
with that guy some day.
He's even now. With Taft
blowing off steam, registering
his anger over the Durkin ap-
pointment, the fact that
Dirksen has cause for resent
ment has been overlooked. AS
the Republican Senator from
Illinois. an important Senator
besides, he could have expected
to be consulted concerning any
appointments from his State,
particularly if the President
planned to pick a Democrat. He
obviously was not consulted.
How the President-elect hit
upon Durkin hasn't been told.
1t is reasonably certain that he
never had heard of the head of
the plumbers union. The same
probably could be said for Her.
bert Brownell, who conducted
the negotiations, and even for
Dewey himself. But Dewey has
an excellent labor adviser, the
States able industrial commits
sioner, Edward Corsi. Corsi
would know Durkin as a man
who had served with distinction
for eight years in a job like his
own and a man in good standing
with organized labor.
1t is being said that Taft will
not carry his umbrage to the
point of opposing Durkin's con-
f1rmation. although as chairman
Of the Labor Committee. to

obliged. For the Taft merits
are so considerable and the
mantle Of prestige thrown about
him by Washington so lustrous,
those dement's are rarely men
toned. ..
Timing obviously was not one
of the many gifts his fairy
godmother gave this scion of a
rich. famous and important
family. Timing is important in
a leader. ;
He has also freshly brought
home to his colleagues how very
self-centered he is. Because he
knows more than most of them
and is much abler and more
diligent, there has been little
open complaint. Senator Taft
made the case for the opposition
to the administration about as
we'll as it could be made, and for
that they were grateful.
Now the situation has altered.
Republicans are in power. The
Senators will want increasingly
to share that power; they will
want to be listened to by their
leader. Also many Of them will
be looking forward to coming
presidential races and the de-
STABILITY of increasing their
personal prestige.
1t is too early still to foresee
the manner in which the Taft
Eisenhower sparring will de-
velop. much less its outcome.
Senator Taft clearly has over
estimated his own strength; he
can generate plenty Of trouble

elect had a right to make his
own decisions.
What will tend to produce
friction and difficulty for the
future is a tendency on the part
of Gen. Eisenhower to deal with
certain problems on a so-called
staff command" basis. He Ger
tainly cannot delegate to any
member of his cabinet or to
any Assistant President or to
anybody else the job of personal
relations with Senator Taft or
any of the other leaders. I'm
less there is a constant and free
interchange of views at first
hand. the Eisenhower admins
tration is in for trouble.
In the Eisenhower encourage
are men who may think they are
familiar with national problems
from what they have read in the
papers, but not one of them
seems to have had any expert
ence in the delicate matter of
relationship between the exec
utive and the legislative
branches of the Government
on political questions. There is
no substitute for experience in
this domain. Other administra-
tions have had the same handi-
cap at the start. and yet it
need not become serious if the
newcomers really grasp the
fundamental point, which is
that party harmony is as essen
tial after campaign as it was
during the campaign.
When the general designated
Herbert Brownell. the new At
torney General, to screen" cab
met appointments, he was turn

thing that anybody would have
told him could mean friction.
MIR. Brownell should have been
warned by the President-elect
to be careful to consult Senator
Taft all along the line. He
isn't likely to make the same
mistake again.
Errors like these are not un-
natural with the President

and his trip to Korea to appoint

General Funnb|ed Appointments
Good Cabinet Has Been Selected, but the Processes
By Which Choices Were Made Were Amoteurish
David Lowrence:

There's a bit Of clumsiness,
If not political amateurishness,
in the way the Eisenhower
appointments to the cabinet
have been handled. While q
good cabinet has been selected,
the process by which the de-
cisions were arrived at may
rise to plague the new admin
istration unless 1t faces some
realities about Washington
habits and manners as well as
traditions.
Senator Taft should not have
been provoked into expressing
displeasure about the way the
cabinet appointments were ar
ranged. Yet to say this is not
to imply that any other men
should have been selected for
the cabinet posts. There is a
right way and a wrong way to
play ball on a team, and the
evidence thus far indicates that
the Eisenhower staff is going
to have to learn its inside
baseball the hard way. This
is regrettable because, when a
rift" starts between a new
President and the man on
whom he must depend for legis-
lative cooperation in Congress,
1t doesn't mean merely that
difference has arisen between
two individuals. It means that
a cleavage of factionalism be-
gins, and this tends to cause
legislators to line up on one
side or the other. Obviously the
Eisenhower staff doesn't want
to develop that kind of problem
to add to the many other prob
lens that will confront the new
administration anyhow in the
matter of appointments.
Every new President has a
tremendous power with Con-
gress because he has so many
favors to dispense. A President
need not appoint incompetent
persons just because a Senator
or Representative recommends
them. But. more often. when a
dozen names are available and
they are all good men, the bal
ance can turn in favor of a
friend of a member of Congress.
The making Of such an appoint
ment tends more to enhance
the prestige Of the Senator or
Representative with his con-

Dorothy Thompson:

It Is difficult to believe that
the Communist leaders SEN
fenced to death in Prague
were Zionists. The Communist
Party has always considered
zionism and communism in
compatible, and Zionists in
Russia have been imprisoned
throughout the lifetime of the
regime. But they were not
Communist Party members.
Communist governments in
satellite states have, neverthe-
less, indirectly co-operated with
Zionists. Immediately after the
war, the Polish government
gave emigration visas to Jews
whose influx into Western Ger
many greatly complicated the
problems of Western occupa-
ton authorities. Most of these
were en- route to Israel. Other
satellites have released Jews
for Israel.
Now. in making the trials an
attack on zionism, the Com
munists are seeking to intensity
troubled Western relations with
the Arab peoples. The timing is
we'll chosen:
Only a few days ago, the
Egyptian delegate raised be-
fore the U. N. Assembly the
problem of the Palestinian refu-
gees. He avoided attacking Is
rael, putting full responsibility
on the U. N. for having failed
to carry out a single provision
of it's various resolutions as
they protected the Arab popu-
lation. reminding his listeners
that the Arabs who fled Pales-
tine had been promised the
right to return or be compen-
sated for their losses, neither Of

Senate seldom confirms any
appointee who is personally OBJ

his State. Dirksen could easily
find Durkin personally obnoxious
if. for no other reason. be-
cause he is a Democrat.
If it were not for some of the
considerations here suggested,
the appointment of Durkin
could be regarded as a political
master stroke. It is a generous
gesture toward the defeated

Constantine Brown:

John Foster Dulles begins to
realize that his success as Sec
retary of State will depend as
much on his ability to reorganize
the State Department as on his
political abilities. The new
personnel must enjoy not only
his own confidence but that of
the American people.
The job before him is to select
competent officers who will be
able to restore the trust of the
public in his department. In
the last few years this trust
has been badly shaken. All the
efforts of the present admin
istration to restore it with heavy
coats of whitewash have been
of no avail. The hard facts
brought before the public by
recent revelations from respon-
sible committees of the legisla-
tive branch and by grand juries
cannot be dismissed by such
epithets as "McCarthyism" or
''McCarranism." It is hardly
probable that Mr.. Dulles will
treat these findings with con-
tempt.
The most recent bombshell was
exploded last Tuesday by a
Federal grand jury in New York,
which after nine months of
hearings charged that disloyal
American officials of the United
Nations had been given a clean
bill of health by the State De-
partment.
The highlights of the panels
investigation-which, according
Evening star., 1952-12-04

to it's members, the State and
Justice Departments attempted
to stymie-show that: Cd Some
of the witnesses admitted past
and heretofore unrevealed Com
munist Party membership. One
admitted involvement in the
party'S underground movement.
(2) Other American United Ma
tions officials cleared by the
State Department have records
of criminal arrests and convic-
tions. One highly placed Of
fetal admitted that he had been
convicted on morals charges.
CD At least two had been ar
rested for participating in dem
onstrations under Communist
sponsorship. Frank Coe, an
American official of an afflli-
ated organization, refused on
grounds of self determination to
answer whether he had been
engaged as late as November IS
in espionage against the United
States. All these American Of
f1cials of the United Nations
had been reported on by the
State Department under a con-
f1dential agreement with the
U. N. secretariat.
According to the findings of
the Internal Security subcom-
mittee, nearly half the Ameri-
can personnel in the U. N. have
unsavory records. They joined
that "extraterritorial" organi-
zation because it was believed
they would be safe from Senate
