Mr.. Beyon Yields Temporarily

Aneurin Bevan and his followers are OBJ
viously biding their time in accepting under
protest the British Labor Party order that they
dissolve their factional organization.
BY vote Of 1873 to 81, the Laborites in
Parliament voted recently that the Bevanite
party within a party" be abandoned and that
the aggressive Welshman and his supporters
accept the majority leadership of Clement Attlee.
For Mr.. Bevans group to have fiouted this dictate
would almost surely have split the party, deeply
and indefinitely. Mr.. Attlee's maneuver was
gamble that Mr.. Bevan would not now at least
take the responsibility of dividing his party and
seriously jeopardizing its chances of returning
to government control In the near future years.
The decision of the Bevan faction to accept
the majority order was taken after several
caucuses of the group. The statement Of their
compliance "deplored" the order on grounds
that it was illiberal based on untrue allegations
and prejudicial to party unity. Referring to the
strength shown by the Bevanites at the recent
party conference at Morecambe, the statement
contended that the real will of the party was
demonstrated in the increased support given the
Bevan position at that time. It closed by re-
minding the party that new Labor Steering
Committee will be named when the Parliament
convenes in November
Thus, while MIR. Attlee has now won another
battle in his campaign to keep the party control
out OF Mr.. Bevan's hands, it is clear that the
latter has merely agreed to an armistice, not .
surrender.

on, anyway.

The damage he does, except now and

they are city folks who are not used

resent mere rabbit daring to take
nip at their precious plants. They want

about the rabbits is to leave them alone.
The trouble is not with the bunnies. but
with the human being who reSentS them

and the like. Rabbits have been eating
petunias and rose bark and the like for
thousands Of years, and who is this
pesky upstart from the city who dares
to impugn them for being hungry and
taking their food as God has taught
them? Some one ought to make list

Briohter Prospects on Sudan

The agreement recently reached between
Egyptian and Sudanese officials offers the first
tangible hope in many months that the number
one issue between Cairo and London may soon
be resolved II this proves true the entire Anglo
Egyptian dispute and the problem of a closer
accord between the West and the Middle East
will become vastly easier to solve.
In simplest terms, the British position to-
ward the Sudan has been that the Sudanese
should have the right of self determination, and
a constitution to permit that status has been
drafted for application this month. Previous
Egyptian governments, suspicious of the British
formula for the Sudanese and insiStent in any
case that the Sudan should become part OF
Egypt have refused to enter into what they con-
sidered compromising negotiations with London.
Premier Naguib has attacked the problem
differently He invited to Cairo the representa-
tives Of several Sudanese groups, most important
in this situation being the head of the pro-Brit-
ish Sudanese Independence faction. After con-
sultation with these interests he agreed to GER
tain basic points of the British plan-including
PRONUNCIATION of constitution for self-goverri-
ment and the holding of legislative elections
before the British administration departs. In
turn, he proposed creation of an international
commission to work with the British Governor
General In the interim period, and plebiscite
at later date to permit the Sudanese to choose
between independence or union with Egypt.
Official British comment on the proposals
has been guardedly favorable thus far, with the
reservation that London has yet to examine the
details of the agreement The feeling is however,
that General Naguib has made some genuine
compromises both in his moderate approach to
the issue and in indicating acceptance of some Of
the basic points of view of the British plan. While
there are potential differences of opinion still in
the picture, the atmosphere has been cleared
considerably for friendly and profitable ne
gotiations.

Streptomycin Award

The Council of the Caroline Institute of the
University of Stockholm has awarded the Nobel
Prize for Medicine and Physiology to DR.. Selman
Abraham Waksman specifically for his work in
the discovery of streptomycin in the treatment
Of tuberculosis. This means, incidentally that
the Rutgers University intercollegiate has been
appraised for an achievement beyond his own
understanding and belief. He himself never has
claimed that streptomycin is certain cure for
tubercular infection. On the contrary, he has
warned that many years of additional research
may be needed before an effective remedy for
"the white plague" is found.
Meanwhile, DR.. Waksmans latest and great
est honor undoubtedly raises the whole field of
antibiotic science to new heights He won the
Nobel money-$33, ,200-over a score of other
candidates, many If not all of them men of
distinction. The Caroline Institute gave him the
award because he seemed the most deserving
His colleagues in the development of chemical
reagents beneficial to humanity inevitably share
in the recognition he is receiving A department
of research which was frankly and adventurously
experimental less than 40 years ago now is
established as a major branch Of what Thomas
Henry Huxley called organized common sense"
DR.. WakSman certainly deserves both fortune
and fame for his accomplishments Born in
Russia in 1888, he came to America at % in 1910
and entered Rutgers in 1911 With the exception
of the period between 1915 and 1918, when he
was at the University Of California, he has spent
the rest Of his life at New Brunswick The basis
Of his philosophy is conviction that the soil
contains health-giving properties which can be
adapted and managed in the interest of human
welfare Streptomycin is only one of his dis
coveries. With the assistance of a staff of IL,
he is pressing on to still newer frontiers in
biochemiStry. Part of the profits from his pro-
ductions already has gone to set up an inter-
national organization for the advancement Of
the same purposes.
The money provided by Alfred Nobel to
reward deserving practitioners of medicine and
physiology was not needed by DR.. Waksman.
He already has announced that he will devote
the whole sum to scientific enterprise. But the
credit of having been granted it is an asset
which he can use, and that, too, is matter for
public appreciation and gratitude.

That Top-Secret Report

President Truman's eleventh. hour release
OF the hitherto top secret report of the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff concerning the evacuation of
Korea is not going to help his case with the
voters.
It probably is too late in the campaign for
General Eisenhower to reach the public effec-
lively with an answer. Certain things are
evident, however, without an answer.
One is that the question as to how Senator
Morse obtained this top secret document, and
who authorized him to use 1t for political pur-
poses early last week, remains unanswered. Mr..
Truman ignored that pertinent matter. The
strong suspicion is, however, that it was he who
slipped the report to Senator Morse, and that
his current pretensions to virtue in releasing it
now are thoroughly phony.
Another self-evident fact is that the docu-
ment does not support the Presidents side of
the argument with General Eisenhower It is
clear from the report itself that the Joint Chiefs
were concerned only with the military security"
OF the United States. The essence of their 1947
report was that from the standpoint of military
security, the United States has little strategic
interest in maintaining the present troops and
bases in Korea"
This was coupled, however, with this quail
dcation and warning: "The withdrawal of these
forces from Korea would not impair the military
pOSlCIOn OF the far East command unless, In
consequence, the Soviets established military
strength in South Korea capable of mounting
an assault in Japan"
The subsequent steps were political in ma
ture. The final decision to withdraw our troops
was in the nature of calculated political risk
based on the political assumption that the Com
munists would not move into South Korea. And
the decision to announce publicly that Korea
was outside our defensive perimeter, thereby
possibly encouraging an attack, was purely
political.
The President, despite his political use of
top secret information in the closing hours of a
campaign, cannot saddle General Eisenhower
with responsibility for these decisions.

Claim Everything-ExuItingIy'

letter came to The Star recently from the
Medford, Massachusetts, public library, request
ing q copy of an editorial which appeared in
The Star Of November Z, 1910. On looking it
up it occurred to us that the editorial is as apt
today as 1t was AZ years ago-and the admonition
of the county chairman is as timely as it was
72 years ago. So we are reprinting the editorial
today:
CAMPAIGN ESTIMATES
Thirty-odd years ago Buckeye Democrat,
upon being consulted by subordinate, put into
a single sentence all the duty of campaign
manager as respects encouragement at the last
moment. John q. Thompson, man Of wit and
ability, was the chairman of the State committee,
and received from a county chairman message
something like this: "Am asked for an estimate
of the situation here. Things are not looking
well for us. What shall do?" To this Mr..
Thompson replied: "Claim everything, and claim
1t exultingly."
Thus spoke master to novice. MIR.
Thompson knew the great value of confidence
and hullabaloo in politics. county, or State,
or national chairman may be racked with appre-
hension may even feel that the game is lost,
but to the public he must present buoyant
front. Both by word and deed he must appear
to be advancing to victory. Never mind how the
printed estimates may look the morning after.
possible effect on waverers, and take chances.
"Claim everything, and claim it exultingly."
The Thompsonian adjuration Is now in
action. Campaign managers big and little, are
talking in the terms of winners. For publication,
not one of them doubts the result The Re-
pubncans are sure, while the Democrats scout
the bare suggestion of defeat. In New York the
opposing State chairmen are only quarter-of-
a-million votes apart, in Ohio only about eighty
thousand, in New Jersey only about forty, and
so on. The chairmen of the congressional COM
mittees differ to the extent of about a hundred
seats in the next House.
But what would you? Voters must have
encouragement, and they look to the leaders for
1t. It is the age OF interviews and estimates.
Publicity is the thing. At breakfast at lunch,
at dinner, the head of the house wants glance
at his newspaper. AS election day approaches
he must have the latest from the seat of war.
What says his chairman? What says the other
chairman? Should his chairman remain silent
and the other be vocal he becomes depressed.
His interest and activity slacken. But If his
chairman speaks up in words Of confidence and
comfort he continues hopeful and busy to the
end.
There is a time for claiming, and time
for explaining claims. Today the claims, tomor-
row the explanations. What chairman worthy
of his Office ever reduces his prediction figures
through fear Of what the wits or the winners
may say after the figures have been knocked
by fate into cooked hat?
