Of all the partisan analyses
and comments on the Eisen-
hover administration and its
Congress of recent days none
was so shrewdly tailored for
long-range political effect per-
haps as that issued by canny
and sage Sam Rayburn OF
Texas, the Nestor as we'll as
the active director of Demo-
cratic Party affairs in the
House of Representatives.
The former Speaker and
present minority leader isolated
and dramatized a very simple
issue on which the party as
a whole can unite. In charg-
ing the Eisenhower admins
tration with failure to keep it's
campaign promises, he made
a single exception-what he
called it's pledge of hard
money" They kept that all
right, he said, and explained:
"They have made it harder
to get. They have raised rates
on the little fellow, the home
buyer and the farmer. But the
big banks and f1nanciers are
doing we'll"
This has a ring that has
been familiar for generations
in the agrarian South and
West, and has been the stuff
of political revolutions in those
areas-"hard money" or tight
money" imposed by big East
ern finance-the latter some
times Jumped together as
wall Street" or, in days gone
by, as "the money power" 1t
has been a convenient vii
lain-and still is. 1t was good
in William Jennings Bryan's
day, and in Franklin D. Roose-
velt's day, and it is good today.
Furthermore, it has some sub
stance.
1t is nicely adapted to po-
litical purposes because of the
ig-business complexion of
this administration which no
body can deny,

Military victory is possible
if a nation has the necessary
capability and is not hampered
by the United Nations politi-
cal strategy.
The recently appointed ener-
getic French commander of
the forces in Indo-C China, Gen.
Henri-Eugene Navarro, stated
in Saigon last week that bar
ring Chinese Communist in
tervention," France does not
wish the war in Indo- China
internationalized.
Diplomats in Washington
have interpreted this to mean
that the Frenchman considers
that he has enough forces to
cope with the Wet Mini with
support of American war
material only. But that he
would ask for American and
possibly British forces if the
Chinese Reds joined the war.
Military men who have
talked to Gen. Navarro say
that the French commander
wanted to convey the thought
that if Chinese Communist
troops are transferred from the
Korean to the Indo-C Chinese
front and join Ho Chi Minis
army under the guise of "vol-
unteers," he intends, if pro-
vided with the necessary
means, to carry a counter
offensive into the enemy's ter
ritory.
The United Nations forces
in Korea with 80 per cent
American and ROK contin-
gents had the capability to
win, but they were prevented
from adopting such a strategy
by the diplomats who feared
g. Soviet intervention and the
unleashing of a third world
war. The consensus of that
timid diplomatic attitude,
which the responsible politi-
cal men in Washington hasten
ed to indorse, resulted in the
present armistice which by no
stretch of the imagination
can be described as a victory
for either America or the
United Nations. In fact most
diplomats in the U. N. admit
that unless we make far-reach-
ing concessions to the agrees
sor the chances of a peace are
extremely remote.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-08-10

Yet there was not a single
responsible American gen.
eral in command of the Allied
forces who did not say bluntly
that victory was possible and
that we had the means to OBJ
tain it without taking more
than a calculated risk of
Soviet intervention.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur
who was fired by the previous
administration said it; Gen.
Matthew Ridgway admitted it
in talks with high officials;
Gen. James Van Fleet said
bluntly that he could lick
them on a dime" if permitted
to do so; and finally last week
Gen. Mark Clark, the retiring
supreme commander in the
Far East, stated at a press
conference in Washington that
the forces under his command
could have won a decisive vic
tory in Korea if additional
forces had been massed land
authorized to proceed as mill
tary strategy demanded"
There was no lack of ad-
ditional military forces in the
United States after the out
break of the Korean agrees
sion. At the height of the
campaign we sent large COM
bat forces to Germany to
bolster the NATO. However,
the commanders in the field
in Korea were kept on "a
diet" for acknowledgements
reasons.
The Pentagon, following in
structions from the political
leaders, sent just as many men,
ships and planes as were
necessary to fight a defensive
action and prevent the enemy
from breaking through our
lines. The lack of ammunition
of certain types was caused
not by the inability of fac
tories to produce them but
because orders placed in the
fall of 1850 by responsible
authorities in the Pentagon
called for delivery dates which
eventually caused those short
ages.
The ROK army is now Is
combat-ready divisions strong
and four more could be
activated within a few weeks.

Democrats Saving Themselves
Royburn Says Party Only Doing Its Job When Supports
Eisenhower on Issues, Not Helping the President

One of the shrewdest, sanest
Democratic voices in Congress
spoke out during the closing
hours Of the session and, as al
ways, said a mouthful.
Securing through the usual
greasy exchange of compli-
ments, House Minority Leader
Sam Rayburn said bluntly that

gave the White House con-
sisted of voting for Democratic
measures they thought were
good for the country. They

Fixing an astringent eye on
his flock, Mr.. Rayburn sug-
gested they would have looked
mighty silly opposing the re-
ciprocal trade agreements, ap-
preparations for collective Sc
curity, reorganization powers
such as had been granted two
Democratic Presidents, and
the Eisenhower tax moves. In
a somewhat different way Old
Guard Republicans have been
saying the same thing.
Mr.. Ravburn promised that
Democrats would go on sup
porting policies for which they
had both moral and politi-
cal responsibilities. He indi-
Gated, however, that it would
be most unwise for the Presi-
dent to continue to take any

Stereotypers Picket
Atlantic City Paper

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug.
10. This mornings edition of
the Atlantic City Press was thin
ner than usual and late hitting
the streets because a picket line
of striking stereotypers almost
closed the newspapers plant.
Supervisory personnel printed
curtailed edition of the paper,
cutting the size from 20 pages

The stereotypers, on strike
since july Is in a dispute for
higher wages, put up a 75-man
picket line in front of the Press
building last night. The picket
line was respected by printers,
members of the AFL Interna-
tional Typographical Union.
Sought by the stereotypers is
an increase over the old rate of
$92.50 for 40 hours. The amount
of the demanded increase has
not been disclosed. Their old

Sam Rayburn knows his
South and West, of which he
is a compound. There big in
roads were made last Novem-
Der by a man named Eisen-
hover who carried the Re-
publican Party's flag. Sam
Rayburn knows the single,
simple issue that has devel-
oped which might best serve
an attempt to reverse this tide.
The issue is cogent because of
the complaints from farmers
and small businessmen in par
ticular about higher interest
rates and the falling income of
farmers about which more and
more is being heard.
This is an issue on which.
the Democratic Party-North,
South, East and West-can
unite.
The party, as a matter of
fact, has exhibited quite a
talent for unity in its opera
tions as the minority party in
Congress, such unity as it was
not possible for it to achieve
for any but the first year or
two of the twenty-year Roose-
velt-Truman regime that end
ed last January. Sam Ray
burn has had much to do with
that, aided by his Texas CO.
partner at the other side of
the Capitol, Senator Lyndon
Johnson, minority leader there.
The one issue that divides
the party most sharply, civil
rights, has not been pushed
by Republicans in their own
Congress. Nor has it a place
on the program for the second
session of the SD Congress.
In his radio address on the
record of his administration
and it's Congress, President
Eisenhower referred to at
tainment of equality of oppor-
tunity for all" as among the

Out of the whole atomic
scare may come much more
important result-a chance for
an era Of real peace instead
of war. This will not ensue just
because of a fear of the terrible
consequences of atomic war
fare as such. Fear of death by
an artillery shell or a bomb
has not prevented wars in the
past. Germ warfare, as devel-
oped today, can be far more
devastating than an H-bomb.
Chemical gas warfare was
tried by both sides in World
War I but abandoned in World
War II as mutually too de-
structive to armies even though
scientists had increased its
deadliness by many times.
The biggest single influence
that may come out of the
atomic arms race is the grow
ing knowledge by all peoples
that they alone must decide
their own fate. The H-bomb
isn't as important as the hand
that decides to throw it. Die
tatorShips may become so dan
gerous that peoples will not
take a chance by tolerating
them.
The disintegration of the
Communist dictatorship has
already begun. If American

will seize the opportunity to

Food could be a mightier
force for peace than the H
bomb. East Germany has re-
vealed that hungry people are
not afraid to defy dictator
ships. There is progress toward
sanity in the world-toward a
realization some day soon of
the simple fact that 10 men

always control 200,000,000

Democratic support for grant,
ed. There are, he limited, some
compromises his party will not
accept.
The former Speaker, of
course. is looking ahead to the
next session where a whole
series of issues more contro-
versial as between Republicans
than as between the President
and Democrats must be faced.
This is a great problem for
the President, too; his tenta-
tive struggles with it this ses-
sion have been fairly obvious.
During them, the Democratic
leaders have stood aside and
watched, if not with charity,
at least with some patience
and understanding.
Privately they admitted
their fears that at some point
the President might compro-
mise too much in order to get
unanimous Republican sup
port. This did not materialize
in any vital particular, though
he got close, from the Demo-
Gratis point of view, when he
almost agreed to pack the BIZ
partisan Tariff Commission
with an extra member.
Mr.. Rayburn foresees the
pressures which will be put
upon the President with an
election coming up next fall.
He is in effect warning him
not to pay too much for his
whistle.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-08-10

There is still a tendency
among some Democrats to feel
that the Presidents popularity
is so great, they must stand
with him to save themselves,
no matter how much they may
disagree. For a time last
spring, a few had picked up
the chant, IF you want to
help Ike, vote DEMOCRATIC"
To this, Rayburn is in violent
opposition. So is the national
committee and most of the in
f1uential Senators. They will
do what they can to squelch it.
The Presidents attitude to-
ward his Democratic helpers
has been contradictory. OF
course he knows nearly all
ranking Democrats very we'll;
he worked with them for years.
Personally he is affabIe and
polite when they meet. He has
given them no change what
ever in any other respect,
although their voting records
in behalf of his program COM
pare favorably with those of
the Republican leaders.
Probably their disclaimers
that they don't care are not
altogether true. What they
can argue with almost I'M
assailable logic is that the man
in the White House will need
all the friends he can get on
Capitol Hill very badly and
very soon. They think he is
not going about it to get them
the right way.

z Pedestrians Killed
When Struck by Cars
In Nearby Maryland

Two pedestrians were killed in
separate traffic accidents over
the week end in nearby Mary
land.
The victims were identified as
John w. Wallace, 80, of Mitchell
vile, Md, and Henson Jackson,
33. of 7181 Oxon Hill road, Oxon
Hill, Md. Both are colored.
Mr.. Wallace was struck by a
car on Route 301 near Mitchell
vile shortly after 3 pm. yester-
day. He died about three hours
later in Prince Georges General
Hospital after being taken there
by the Bowie Rescue Squad.
Maryland State police at WAL
dorf listed the cars driver as
Henry S. Kordyla, "a, of the 6400
block of Fifty-ninth avenue,
Riverdale, Md. They quoted Mr..
Kordyla as reporting that the
victim ran in front of his car.
Police said no charges have been
filed.
Mr.. jackson was killed about
9 pm. Saturday, while walking
along Indian Head highway at
the intersection with Livingston
road, according to Prince
Georges County police. He was
not identified, however, until
yesterday.
Police said the car was driven
by Francis B. Arnold, SO, of the
$500 block of Chauncey place,
Mount Rainier, Md. They charged
him with manslaughter and with
reckless driving by colliding with
a pedestrian. He was released
under $500 bond pending a hear
