Madrid, Boom City, Warm toU.S.
Some Spanish Officials Bitter Over Kicks by Americans
But Few in the Provinces Are Politically Minded

MADRID by maiD In the
Spanish capital, where all this
country's international political
thinking is concentrated, even
a casual observer can find more
friendliness toward the United
States than in many other
allied capitals.
There is still some bitterness
noticeable among the high po-
liticos over the kicks the Ameri-
can Government gave them un-
til very recently and over the
extreme caution in handling of
the question of naval and air
bases. But by and large these
are attributed to domestic
politics and are Offset by the
belief that eventually, under the
pressure of world events, Wash
ington may realize that it can
find in Spain as Staunch a
friend as it can hope for.
Americans who travel through
the country say that the prov
inces" are politically-minded in
sofar as domestic matters are
concerned. But except for a bit
ter hatred of the Reds which is
shared by all Spaniards, inter-
national matters are as alien to
these people as caviar and
champagne to the Basque shep-
herds in the Pyrenees.
Madrid is a town of contrast.
Next to rickety and asthmatic
1925 taXis one may see a few
expensive 1852 sedans; and side
by side with fashionably- dressed
gentlemen there are many shah
bily-dressed individuals. Wealth
and poverty live side by side in
apparent harmony. It is char
acteristic of this country which
has vast barren stretches of
mountains and hills and also
rich and fertile valleys.
Madrid is, however, a boom
town. Besides a 20-story sky
scraper, hundreds of houses and
business buildings are going up
rapidly. The scars of the bloody
civil war which ended in 1889
after which period Spain be-
came more isolated from the
outside world than ever before
have been almost completely
mended.

McCorthy Should Be Very Happy
Truman and Stevenson Have Adopted Senator'S Methods
After Months of Attack on character Assassination

cratic administration leaked"
out a top secret" document of
the proceedings of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff in order to make
a political point and thereby
attempt to discredit Gen. Eli
senhower, who was at the time
a member of the Joint chiefs.
The point, of course, hasn't
been persuasive, because it turns
out that the secret decision in
1947 to withdraw American
troops from Korea-in which
Gen. Eisenhower concurred-was
based on the belief that the
Russians would likewise with
draw their troops. Both sides
finally did withdraw in 1949 at
the request of the U. NJ, but
the Communists failed to keep
their promise to preserve the in
tegrity of Korea. The reason for
this was that the administra-
ton had failed to back up the
rear of Korea from a strategic
standpoint. The State Depart
ment Withdrew it's moral sup
port from the Chinese Nation
alists, and then the Chinese
Communists took over the coun-
try and by January, 1850,
Secretary Acheson publicly ad-
vertised the United States de-
cision not to defend Korea.
Another instance of So-called
"McCarthyism" is to be found
in the tabloid newspaper issued
by the Democratic National
Committee. 1t shows a 1882 pic
ture of Gen. Macarthur and
Mai. Eisenhower discussing the
repression of the "bonuS march"
of the war veterans in their
alleged protest against unem-
ployment. The inference is that
Eisenhower was somehow re-
sponsible for what happened in
1882, when there is no evidence
whatsoever that he had anything
to do with it. The Democratic
National Committee didn't tell
it's readers that this same
bonus march" was the work of
Communists, who later admitted
having plotted the affair. Pre-
sumably no more will be heard
now from the Democrats about
the Republican tabloid in the
Tydings 1850 campaign in Mary
land when Tydings was shown
in a composite picture with
Communist Browder. Certainly
the liberals" who a year ago
were demanding action by the
Senate Election Committee
about the misuse of photographs
in campaigns are strangely
silent now. Nor is any liberal"
of prominence demanding that
Gov. Stevenson disavow Mr.
Truman.
Gov. Stevenson has not kept
his own campaign clean. either.
He has accused Gen. Eisenhower
Evening star., 1952-10-30

of delaying" an armistice in
Korea merely by announcing
that, If elected, he would visit
that country. First the Gov
ernor said the purpose of the
trip might be to enlarge the
war" That's a wild and reck-
less innuendo. especially coming
from a so-called "high-minded"
candidate. Then later, the Gov
ernor said the negotiations may
have been delayed by Eisen-
hover.
Actually there has been de-
lay of more than a year while
the truce talks have been going
on and during that delay more
than 5000 American boys have
been killed and more than 20
900 have been wounded. The re-
sponsibility for that delay lies
in the public announcement to
the Communist world - after
Macarthur was dismissed-that
the United States would ap-
pease and give up its previous
purpose of chasing the aggres-
sor out of Korea. This was in
May, 1851, when Secretary
Acheson-backed up by other
administration witnesses - an
nounced at a congressional
hearing that the United States
couldn't expect to win in Korea,
that.a truce at the 38th Parallel
would be acceptable and that,
when this was done, "aggres-
sion" would be considered "re-
PEELED"
The Communists instantly
saw this weakness of attitude
and have been driving hard ever
since for a better and better
bargain. The responsibility for
the delay" ought to have been
more widely discussed in the
campaign, but both sides have
ignored the fundamental issues
mostly because the type Of at
tack made by the Democrats
a personal character assassina-
tion-has set the level of the
campaign.
To this day the smear Of
Nixon-who exposed Hiss-goeS
on Notwithstanding the Sena-
tors frank statement of his
own assets and liabilities and
income. The California Senator
now has been asked to disclose
all the affairs of his relatives.
Yet Senator Sparkman, Demo-
cratic vice presidential nomi-
nee, rightly denounced this tao
tic when asked about his Wife's
business affairs. It is tragic that
ATTACK on the man"-the old
est sort of political warfare
since the days of the Roman
senate-is still in vogue in the
modern world.

Stevenson Rejected Korea Visit
Staff Recalls Candidate Discarded Idea Of Far East rip
For Priority Task of Organizing Administration

The job would be hard enough
for Gov. Stevenson, who expects
to rattle the skeletons in the
closets. For Gen. Eisenhower,
it would be staggering.
Their different attitudes quite
clearly illustrate the differences
in their training for the presi-
dency. The general is accus-
toned to the continuing estab-
lishment, the staff work, the
constantly replenished stream Of
men especially trained to do the
job. The Governor. who has
made it his pride to improve the
Illinois State service, is already
thinking of what an immense
chore it will be to shake up the
Federal bureaucracy and at
tract new men.
It is not too cynical to sug-
gest that Republican politicians
might not complain if the gen.
eral concentrated on the mill
tary job in Korea and left the
gravy train to their tender min
istrations. Should Gen. Eisen-
hover be elected and journey
East for any length Of time. the
caliber Of political staff he
leaves in charge at home will be
Of scarcely less Importance to
his place in history.
The pattern of an incoming
administration is generally fixed
in the comparatively few weeks
between election and inaugura-
tion. Once fixed, 1t will not be
easy to alter or amend.

David Lawrence:

Senator Joseph Mccarthy of
Wisconsin, Republican, ought to
be a very happy man. After
months and months of vituper-
ative attack upon his So-called
methods" those very meth
-odS" now have been given a
clean bill of health-they have
been adopted by both President
Truman and Gov. Stevenson
and some of their campaign
spokeSmen as we'll as by the
Democratic National Committee
in its tabloid newspaper.
The chief criticism made
against Mccarthy has been that
he makes charges affecting
character and indulges in Char
acter assassination" 1t has been
argued that this is not permis-
slble in political campaigns and
that issues" should be discussed.
But every one who has fol-
lowed the course of American
political history knows that the
character of the individual
his loyalties and associations
have much to do with his judg-
mentS and attitudes on issues.
Political techniques on Federal,
State, county and city level
show no signs of abandoning
that approach.
That's why President Truman
and Gov. Stevenson have tried.
though unSuccessfully, to give
the American people the impress
sion that Gen. Eisenhower isn't
honest and isn't loyal to his
country. A headline in The New
York Times of October % says:
Truman accuses Eisenhower of
dishonesty about Korea" and
The news article below says Mr..
Truman used the phrase,
thoroughly dishonest" Well,
Mr.. Mccarthy didn't say Gov.
Stevenson was either disloyal or
thoroughly disloyal. He init
mated that some of Stevenson's
advisers were "pinks." That's far
different from Mr.. Truman's
direct assault on Gen. Eisen-
hover himself. The reason for
such character assassination by
the Democratic spokesmen is the
knowledge that Gen. Eisenhower
is nationally popular. The Dem
ocratic managers think that, to
win an election, it is necessary
to demolish his popularity. They
mistakenly believe this can be
done by attacking him person.
ally rather than by discussing
the issues or their own failures
in administration.
The tactics, of course, are in
some respects just like McCar-
thy's tactics. Thus, just as the
Wisconsin Senator got the secret

This is a vivid contrast to
Britain's capital where the de-
Struction caused by the German
bombers still remains every
where like a reminder to the
British people of what a mod
ern war means.
The Spaniards are proud of
their achievements. They do not
fail to remind the foreigner and
particularly the American that
this reconstruction work was
done despite their country's
limited resources and an eco
nomic isolation forced by
political motives. Spain, they
say, unlike the allies of the
United States, has not benefited
from the cloudbursts of dollars
which have fallen on Europe
since the end of the war.
The Spanish government was
granted a loan of $65 million by
the Export Import Bank in 1850
and this SUNLESS some SO mil
lion which has not yet been
drawn-has been used mostly
for agricultural and technical
improvements.
The new squares and wide
avenues built in the last three
years in Madrid are apparently
paid for from the tax which is
imposed on all consumed lux
uries. This reporter is aware
now that the tax must be very
profitable. A lunch at a first
class hotel cost 81 pesetas (about
$1.45 at the official rate of eX-
change) and the various taxes
and service added another dol
lar. In restaurant not claSSi-
fed as de luxe the tax would
have been 35 cents and in an
ordinary eating place there
would have been no tax. The
rich are very rich In this coun-
try. But they are also paying
through the nose for the privi-
leges of enjoying their riches.
The lack of outward emotion
alism, the fatalism and the
sturdiness of the Spaniard, so
unlike that of his other Latin
brethren, is explained by the
fact that there is much Moorish
blood in him. This accounts for

What was expected to be the
great roorback of this campaign,
the speech delivered Monday
night by Senator Mccarthy, has
turned out to be something less
than that. Mccarthy may have
meant it to be, but it failed in
one essential. It was not effec-
tive. 1t was largely false and
defamatory and it was delivered
close enough to the voting day
to make difficult any effort to
overtake it with the truth. But
few of the falsehoods in it were
new, none had any convincing
quality, and all were delivered
with hesitancy that-judging
by the television picture
seemed to puzzle the we'll n-dressed
$50-a-plate immediate audience.
1t was billed in advance as Nc
Carthy's major contribution to
the campaign, but he appeared
hardly to have his heart in what
he was doing.

frances success in the three
years of deadly civil war was due
less to the support he received

to the fact that the Spanish
people eventually understood
that this was not just one of
those perennial political revolu-

accustomed, but a social and
religious struggle.

themselves in the Spanish

themselves good.
