There appeared to be no changes

some of the steps might not be
strictly party-line.
Popular Front Aeoin
Foreign Communists, including
presumably, those in the United
States, were directed by Stain him.
self to use the old popular front"
technique to cooperate with poll
tical groups which might do tho
Reds some good. Purpose of the CO.
operation is to be twofold: First.
to lure Western minds away from
thoughts of Communist aggression
and, second, to encourage free
countries to fight with one another
particularly with the United
States.
In carrying out the program, all
good Communists will keep these
things in mind, Stain ordered:
First, Russian communism is the
only real communism, don't wander
of into Ttoism; second, be "pa-
triots"-wave the local flag and cry
out that defensive alliances against
Soviet Russia are undermining ma
tional sovereignty; third, refuse to
fight against Russia, even in self
defense.
Stain assured his sheep that
such program would hasten the
day when the capitalistic nations
would eat each other up and leave
the world safe for communism.
His program, however, didn't look
so sure-flre to outsiders. What
Stain had outlined was to a large
extent the same course of action
taken by Communists in the OPEN
collaboration days of the sos.
Westerners have long since wised
up to that technique; and when
Communists, in response to the
new line, come around Offering to
cooperate" they will get short
shrift from most groups.
PIotform Rewrite
Stain was elected by the con-
gresS - unanimously to head a
committee which will revise the
official statement of party objec-
tives. The Red platform has not
been changed since just after the
Russian revolution. The rewrite il
not expected to reflect any broad
policy change, only changes in the
intricate gobbledygook of Red
dogma.
The congress voted-also unani-
mously-to set up a new Central
Committee to run the party. On
the committee are all of the i'm

officials. The committee then named

bobbled last week when he took the
Alger Hiss issue to the people He
devoted a half-hour to the Hiss
case, bearing down heavily on Adlai
Stevenson's deposition as to Hiss
integrity, veracity and loyalty. In
coming to Hiss rescue latter all the
evidence was in," as Nixon put it,
Stevenson had disqualified himself
for the office of President. The next
day, a group of lawyers issued a
statement saying that Stevenson
had done what any good citizen
should have done under the cir
cumStances." Force was lent to
their statement by the fact that the
lawyers group was bipartisan;
some liked Ike, some liked Adlai, all
applauded the Democratic candi-
date for following the only honor
able course open to him.
Sporkmon's Emereenee
Stevenson's running mate, John
Sparkman Of Alabama, likewise was
rescued from the slough of anon
UNITY by Republicans. Gov. Dewey,
who 10 days ago hit Sparkman the
first lick as an enemy of civil rights,
took another swipe at him last
week. The issue was the motto,
white Supremacy" which appears
above the rooster emblem on the
Alabama Democratic ballot. Dewey
told his New York audience-Which
is full of minorities-that this
motto is the byword of the Ku Klux
Khan, the enemy of all minorities,
and reflects the state of Sparkman's
mind.
Sparkman, hitherto a virtual un-
known, replied that Dewey, "twice
repudiated and embittered" was
injecting race into the campaign to
elect his proxy" President. The
Albanian added that all his life
he had despised and fought the
Khan. Who benefited most from
the Dewey-Sparkman exchange is
debatable; at any rate, the Dewey
blast was followed by Stevenson
Sparkman Endorsements from two
influential members of the Negro
community-Mary Mcleod Bethune
of Florida and former heavyweight
champion Joe Louis, Republican
OF long standing.
The Old Whistle Stopper
The real phenomenon of the cam
palgn, however, was Harry Truman.
The old whistle-stopper no more
than got back in Washington from
an 8,000-mile tour early last week
than he left again for a shorter but
no less intensive campaign in the
North. He had proved in his first
swing around the country that he
was still the great medicine man Of
politics. In New England last week
he proved it again-with music. He
even played piano for the voters in
New Britain, Conn.
But rhythmic strains on the
pianoforte were not the only con-
tributions made by Harry Truman.
Dwight Eisenhower had made big
issue out Of Korea, and the Presi-
dent reduced the controversy to a
put-up-or-shut-up basis. If the
general has remedy for Korea,
President Truman said, 1t is his
duty Ito come and tell me right
now" and not wait till after
election.
This was not the only Democratic
recognition OF the high nutritional
value OF words. Stevenson himself
had found some Republican words
and was urging the opposition party
to eat them. At Los Angeles he re-
called Gen. Eisenhower's 1949 state
ment about social security's being
best exemplified by penal servitude.

Crop Prospects Rise
For Wheat and Corn
Despite Slow Start
BY the Associated Press

Crop production prospects have
frightened during the past three
weeks. Government hopes that
this years harvest of food and
fiber crops may set a record after
all are rising.
A month ago prospects were not
good. Unfavorable weather re-
tarded spring planting.
A new crop survey made by the
Agriculture Department yesterday
said conditions have improved
greatly. Crops now are normal
or advanced in most areas of the
country.
A wheat crop which may be the
second or third largest of record
lis indicated. The winter wheat
portion of the crop was forecast
at 986 million bushels.
Forecast Bumper Crop.
An average spring wheat crop
would give a total combined crop
Iof about 1928 billion bushels.
Only in 1947 and 1948 were larger
wheat crops harvested.
But there is a possibility the
spring wheat crop may be con-
Isiderably larger than normal. In
that event it would be possible
for total wheat production to ex-
ceed the second largest, 1913 bill
lion, produced in 1948.
BY comparison. total wheat pro-
duction last year was only 987 mil
lion bushels. The Government
had set 1852 goal Of 1,165 billion.
More Corn Expected.
The department said it appears
likely farmers will plant larger
acreage to corn than had been
indicated by planting survey in
March. The Government has ap-
pealed for more corn to meet feed
demands of an expanding meat
animal industry.
The department said conditions
were among the brightest of record
for coats in Southern States, fall
soWn barley and hay meadows and
pastures.
A Southern peach crop abou.
the size of last years harvest was
forecast.
A larger acreage Of truck crops
for the fresh market this summer
also was said to have been planted.

Old 10 Tests Unfair
To Some, Educator Says
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES. May lO.-Old-
fashioned intelligence tests in
public schools are being re-evalu-
ated to compensate for social
differences in pupils environment,
says DR.. Kenneth Eells of San
Diego State College.
Some such intelligence tests
penalize children from lower in
come homes. he told a group of
school supervisors and administra-
tors yesterday.
"The strictly academic vocabu-
larry used in such 10 tests gives an
unfair advantage to children
whose parents themselves enjoy
the better things of life," DR.. Eells
said. For example, a reference
to symphony orchestra instru-
ments might be understood W
some children and not by others. ."
