way. Mccarthy is the new
chairman Of Government
Operations.
Here the key figure is SEN
ator Homer Ferguson of Mich
igan. Senator Mccarthy is
trying to kidnap him from the
Judiciary Internal Security
Subcommittee and persuade
him to do the Communist
hunting under the Mccarthy
banner.
Senator Ferguson already
has two major committees,
Judiciary and Appropriations.
Conceivably he could take the
Mccarthy committee place
even if he yields to tempta-
ton to drop judiciary in favor
of Foreign Relations.
Republicans want him right
where he is in Judiciary, in
the forefront of the Commu-
mist Investigations. They have
full confidence in his ability
to do an honorable job of
great profit to the country and
theaparty. They fear McCar-
thy let loose on the task.
The conference may be asked
by Majority Leader Taft to de-
clare Government Operations

always said he thought it
should be. Then the Ferguson
kidnapping would be impos-
Sible.

# Gen. Eisenhower had not
pledged himself to the Senate
leaders to make no commit
ments to foreign dignitaries,
his four hour talk with Prime
Minister Churchill would have
stirred somewhat Of a storm
in congressional quarters even
before his Inauguration.
Mr.. Churchill'S statements
to the press on his arrival in
New York that he was opposed
to any major military moves
in Korea and that a stalemate
-as we have now-is prefer
able to a checkmate, have
created an unfavorable inn
preston in congressional quar-
ters which have an inkling of
what Eisenhower intends to do
to terminate the stalemate.
Last December when the
President-elect and his ad-
visers were on the way back
from the Far East a spokes-
man for the British govern
lnent stated in London that
the British government looked
favorably toward a limited Of
fensive which would bring the
United Nations forces to the
40th Parallel, 100 miles north
of the present line, and thus
shorten the front across Korea
by some so miles.
This statement was received
with satisfaction in Washing
ton. particularly since the
spokesman added that under
such conditions Britain might
dispatch an armored division
to Korea.
Mr.. Churchill's public state
ment on Monday was in all
likelihood repeated more force
fully to Eisenhower and con-
tradicts what the anonymous
but official spokesman for 10
Downing Street had said ear
lier.
Similarly. the contention Of
the British Prime Minister
that the real center of gravity
in the East-West conflict was
"along the Iron Curtain in
Western Europe" has caused
misgivings in Republican quar-
ters, which remember that in
the first two years Of World
War II, the Pacific theater of
operations was receiving only
niggardly assistance because
of the influence Mr.. Church.

Roosevelt and many Of his

ods that are the real issue. but
whether the main charges he
has made against the admin
istration'S harboring Of Com
munists in government and
the evil influences that are
alleged to have affected our
foreign policy are true or false.
Those issues are still unre-
solved, though the pendulum
lately has swung in favor Of
several of McCarthy's points.
The larger questions are
more important than whether
one Senator is or is not polite
in his methods. The methods
of the wisconsin Senator are
those of a bulldozer. He rides
roughshod over opponents be-
cause there has been sup
preston Of facts and he. like
many predecessors in Con-
gress. has found that only
bulldozer methods can get the
facts out into the open when
fighting the concealment tech
niques of bureaucracy.
What remedy is there
against excesses? Only the
remedy Of an informed public
opinion, which. after hearing
all sides, renders its verdict.
But after observing the work
of congressional committees
over a long period of time, one
must come to the conclusion
that they do far more good
than harm and that they do
expose wrongdoing which the
executive branch is either un-
willing or unable to expose.
Except for congressional COM
mittee activity, Alger Hiss
would be free today. and, ex-
cept for congressional investi-
cations, some Of the various
collectors of internal revenue
recently removed and some in
dicted would still be continu-
ing their corrupt activities.
The cases are numerous in
favor of congressional COM
mittees as a check on the
other two coordinate branches

cold war. Americas efforts
have been directed far more
toward Europe than Asia. It
was Eisenhower and his prin-
cipal advisers who broke this
line of thinking when they
declared during and after the
campaign that they considered
the Far East at least as i'm
portant as Europe. They held
this view because the Mus
covites, while still rafting the
saber in Europe, are fighting
a shooting war by proxy in the
Far East.
To many American students
of military and political his
tory the Far East appears at
least as much Of a center of
gravity" as Europe. 1t is
understandable that Churchill
should be chiefly interested in
the periphery west Of the
Iron Curtain, after Britain
had to give up control of it's
once great empire in the
Indian Ocean. To American
military men and diplomats,
however, the Pacific and the
mainland of Asia continue to
be vitality important for the
Nations security.
Mr.. Churchill must be aware.
from the experiences of his
predecessor, Clement sAttlee,
of the emphasis which the new
administration is likely to
place on the Far East. In
June, 1851, John Foster Dulles,
who had drafted the peace
treaty with Japan, went to
London to smooth over certain
objections by the then British
government. He soon dis
covered that the British in
sisted on some drastic restric-
tions on Japan'S economic
recovery and also on inviting
the Peiping government to
sign the peace treaty.
Dulles spoke very bluntly.
He told Messrs. Attlee and
Herbert Morrison that their
demands were unacceptable to
us, and left London after in

Threat to Natural Resources
If Gen. Eisenhower Really Admres Teddy Roosevelt,
He Should Adopt IRIS Attitude Toward SpoIsmen

During the presidential cam
paign Gen. Eisenhower was
compared by some of his pro-
moters with Theodore Roose-
velt. He also seemed to en-
visage himself in that image
by his laudatory references to
that great Republican Presi-
dent. That. of course, must
await trial by performance.
But 1t can be said that he
will be called upon to exhibit
some of that rugged Ameri-
cans fighting qualities to re-
sist projects of the spoiler
variety that are being cooked
up to spring upon the Repub-
lican Congress.
Especially is that so in the
field of conservation of natural
resources, in which Teddy
Roosevelt was a pioneer. He
established conservation poll
cies which since have been
implemented by succeeding
Presidents to stop depredations
that were wasting and exploit
ing Our resources-forests.
minerals, metals, land. water
for purely selfish gain with
no thought of future genera
tionS.
These policies are under their
greatest threat since T. RS
time. We might as well wake
up and recognize that.
At the very outset of his ad-
ministration our new President
will face a test in the natural
resources field which can mean
much, for, wrongly decided, it
would open the fioodgates for
the spoilsmen along a wide
front. This is the bill, twice

Lee, how this land. II sold,
would go on the States tax
rolls and bring in revenue not
now available. However, the
Federal Governmen ent now
makes payments to the States
based on returns from the
public lands.
This seductive tax approach
designed to appeal to State
officials and taxpayers is
coupled with the now familiar

which, in this instance, is ap-
piled to public ownership Of
land. Both are directed to the
unthinking who are not being

how large-scale transfer of
public laIfds would open the
way for exploitation Of re-
sources that was going on at so
rapid and wasteful a pace when
Theodore Roosevelt stepped in,
aroused the American people,
and curbed it.
That hamstringing of public
power development also is
among the aims Of the current
campaign is indicated by Mr..
Lees complaint that "the vast
program of Federal dam build
ing now contemplated leopard
ICES not only land ownership
alone-but private payrolls-
and on the other hand it in
creases the tax burden Of the

nothing, of course, about the

individuals and industry which.

grand jury here was indict-
ing Mr.. Grunewald again on
charges of contempt Of Con-

his refusal to answer questions
in the House Internal Revenue
Bureau investigation.
BY coincidence, the Senate
subcommittee also handed a
hefty hot potato to the Justice
Department in the form of the
record of its investigation of
Senator McCarthy's finances.
The potentialities of a Nc

The Joseph r. Mccarthy
history in the 83d Congress is
building with even greater
rapidity than people familiar
with his gamblers tempera-
ment had anticipated.
It is now playing in two rings
of the congressional circus. In
both, the inside operations of
the club are involved, as the
Senators we'll realize.
First of all, the Senator re-
vealed that he has access to
the correspondence of Henry

the mystery man who UP to
now has shown such remark
able ability to defy Congress
and get away with it.
Senator Mccarthy released
what he described as photostats
of two letters to Grunewald,
one from President Truman
and the other from Senator
Monroney, Oklahoma Demo-
crat, thanking him for his sup
port. The White House and
Senator Monroney say that
both were form letters.

mittee. It is a sort of inalien-
able right in Congress anyhow.
But though often condemned,
one will not hear any criticism
of it from the folks who dislike
Senator Mccarthy. They will
chuckle with glee, which only
goes to prove that there isn't
much fundamental principle
behind many of those who
shout loudest about ''McCar-
thyism" and do not criticize it
when the shots are fired at
those they dislike anyhow.
Congressional committees for
years have welded a sharp
scalpel in carving UP the repu-
tations of innocent persons
again and again, but when the
surgery was being performed
by New Dealers in charge of
the Investigations for con-
gressional committees, espe-
cially in the early days of the
Democratic reign, there was no
outcry from the so-called lib
eral" side. In fact, much po-
litical capital was made by the
Democratic Party out of those
very smear Investigations.
1t would be a sorry day for
the American system of rep
resentative government if the
right of Congress to investi-
gate were curtailed, and it
would be a step backward If
individual members of Con-
gress were deprived of con-
gressional immunity. Maybe
Senator Mccarthy was ma
ligned unfairly today, and yes
terday he maligned somebody
unfairly. The opportunity is
afforded nevertheless under
the present system to fight
these battles in the press and
on the radio, and the debate
itself furnishes its own cor
receives.
Senator McCarthy's place
in history will not be de-
termined by his enemies who
try to prove he speculated in
the market or by any other
personal attacks on him. It

Jurisdiction Of these marginal
coastlands which belong to all
our people and constitute a
reserve vital to our national
security that needs Federal
protection.
The Importance of this issue,
of which powerful private in
terests are thoroughly aware
but which is obScured to the
public, lies in the fact that
return of this part of the public

set a precedent to be capital

and other lands now protected
against abusive exploitation.
Such interests include oil,
lumber, mining, as well as
private electric utilities. The
object is plain-to take advan-
tage of more lax and accom-
modating and easily ap-
preached State legislative and
regulatory authorities and more
lenient statutes.
The seriousness of this
movement is exemplified by
the fact that, beyond the ac-
tivity Of individual special in

and the National Association

up since the election their own

The Labor government decided
to yield when 1t realized that

asked that the new American
administration consult with
Britain before taking action Of
any kind In the Far East in
any theater other than Korea.
He also demanded that there
be no expansion of the Korean

peninsula.
Churchill appears, II these
reports are confirmed, to be

ton that the Kremlin does not
