And those Italians who could

that both these groups, who I
am afraid may dominate Italy
in the future, have an intense
dislike for America. The Com

you stand in the way of world

which violate the spirit of the
Charter and ignore its resolu-
tionS. There is no way, of
course, short of war to compel
physical compliance, SO the
only means left is moral force.
But moral force takes con-
siderable courage, too. In the
present sequence of events.
moral force would be exerted
if the members of the U. N.
examined the evidence fur
nished by the United States
Army concerning atrocities in
Korea and condemned the gov
ernmentS responsible for these
brutal and barbaric acts. Then
it would follow logically that
no nation would be admitted
to the U. N. which had not
redressed the wrongs done and
meted out punishment to the
war criminals.
Until and unless such steps
satisfactory to the U. N. were
taken. any government whose
troops or agents committed the
crimes in Korea would be
barred from the U. N. This
would be an example of collec-
tive resistance to aggression
which the whole world would
understand. 1t would awaken
among the peoples behind the
Iron Curtain, who are them
selves the victims of brutality,
a hope that liberation for them
could not long be postponed.
Certainly if the peoples now
under Communist rule knew
that the rest of the world
would not recognize such un-
civilized governments, this
would form a rallying cry for
the overthrow of those gov
ernmentS.
The report on Korean atroci-
ties merely confirms the belief
that to attempt to negotiate
with a gangster government is
as useless as it is to make deals
with gangsters in the under
world of our American cities.

Lowell WeHett-

Mr.. John B. Hollister writes
to suggest that I was mistaken
when I said in recent COL
umn, "Mr. Hoover believes the
Government should get out of
the electric power business.
He would sell IVA"
The reference is to Herbert
Hoover. former President, now
chairman of the Commission
on Organization of the Exec
utive Branch of the Govern
ment. Mr.. HolliSter, a Gin
cinnau attorney and former
Congressman, is executive di-
rector of the commission.
Mr.. Hoover. says Mr.. Hol-
listers letter. has never ad-
vocated the sale of any of the
Government plants nor has he
recently made reference to the
Tennessee Valley Authority in
this connection"
So perhaps I've been unfair
to Mr.. Hoover. While I didn't
say he had said he would sell
IVA. I did imply that he would
at least be willing to do so.
This was based on a proposal
he made in Cleveland last
spring on Federal Socializa-
tion of Electric Power" The
proposal was the creation of
a commission "to get the Fed
eral Government out of the
business of generating and dis
tributing power as soon as pos
Sible." IVA is in the business
of generating and distributing
power. It Is about the biggest
thing in that business any
where. If Mr.. Hoover is going
to get the Government out of
the business the natural place
to start would be with IVA.
And if he wouldn't sell it to
private interests as recon-
mended some time ago by
Charles E. Wilson of General
Electric and more recently by
Clarence Manion, head of the
Eisenhower Commission on
Intergovernmental Relations,
what would he do? Give it
away?

The Wogner-Rooseve|t Team
Now Campaigning Together, This Duo Is Very Likely
To Garry the Political Tradition of Their Names

Two famous names in New
York politics expect to lead
the Democratic. Party back
into the green pastures of the
Empire State this year and
next.
Robert F. Wagner, jr., son
of the late liberal Senator, will
be elected Mayor of New York
next Tuesday unless all public
and private polls, plus expert
opinion, are badly mistaken.
Representative Franklin D.
Roosevelt, jr.. will take this as
a sign that the climate is fa-
vorable to his candidacy for
Governor next year.
The Wagner-Roosevelt team
has been campaigning to-
gether throughout the greater
city. They are widely heralded
as "the next Mayor" and the
next Governor" and both seem
very happy about it.
Word from responsible
sources that Gov. Dewey will
not run again has naturally
strengthened the conviction of
Democrats that with such clean
young leaders they can re-
gain their old power and glory.
They are not in fact so much
afraid of Mr.. Dewey as they
we're since he has had to cope
with scandals in his own ad-

Russians Annoyed
IAtU. S. Celebration
OF Wrights' Flight
BY the Assoeioted Press

MOSCOW, Oct. 29.-Soviet
newspapers exhibited annoy
ance yesterday over the celebra-
ton in the United States of the
golden anniversary of the Wright
brothers first plane flight.
The papers said the celebra-
ton was an obvious attempt by
American propaganda to prove
the priority of the Wright
brothers in the invention of the
airplane."
Red Star, Soviet Army news
paper, quoted an article from
the Soviet air force journal say
ing the Wrights were 90 years
behind Russians in successfully
using a heavier -than-air flying
machine.

rectly reported:

def1ed him and the end of the
sstory for New York Repub-
licans is not in sight.
It has long been realized
that Mr.. Dewey had had
enough of Albany and the gen.
eral expectation has been that
he would draft Senator Irving
Ives to succeed him. Mr.. Ives
is that rare bird, an upstate
Republican popular in New
York City.
Senator Ives, however, has
certain chores ahead of him
next year which bear directly
on his New York City standing.
AS leader of the New York
State Assembly he sponsored
anti-discrimination legislation
and later became the success
full first chairman of the State
commission against discrimi-
nation. Labor and minorities
as a result backed his Senate
bid.
In the next session of Con-
gress the Senator will be chair
man of the Labor and Public
Welfare Subcommittee charged
with revising the Taft-Hartley
Act. Civil rights legislation
will also come within the pur-
view of that subcommittee.
AS Democrats see it, Mr.. Ives
will be treading an uphill road
in both those areas and is
much more likely to lose old
friends in the greater city than
win new ones. If this is so,
they expect that he will prefer
sto keep the Senate seat to
which he was reelected only
last year.
Gov. Dewey will surely be
Evening star., 1953-10-29

under great pressure then to
run again. His dilemma will be
acute.
If the tide really has started
to turn both in New York and
nationally and if he is not
able to purify his own party
to the public's satisfaction, he
would be running a grave risk
With all his experience, he
knows, too, that the public
sometimes wearies even of
efficient public servants.
1t is widely suggested that
President Eisenhower, who
owes so much to him, must
make Mr.. Dewey Secretary of
State if Mr.. Dewey wishes it.
But nobody knows better than
the twice-nominated, twice
defeated G. o. P. candidate
for President what a fairly
large number of Republican
Senators would do to him as
Secretary of State, given the
opportunity. Dean Acheson
would think he had had a
holiday in comparison.
Yet, a return to private life
means inevitable diminution
of Dewey, the political figure.
Gov. Dewey has been scorn-
ing Mr.. Wagner as "the boy"
in an effort to help the Repub-
lican candidate for Mayor.

a certain humor coming from

BY EIenc de Soyn

The commemoration Of the 10th
anniversary Of the death of Sergei
Rachmaninoh was observed with
o program OF his compositions in
the National Gallery Of Art given
by the resident pianist Warren
Perry Thew last night. It was
bef1tting to remember the master
by playing some Of his most
characteristic works which threw
light on his personality, religious
belief and his strong national
feelings. Mr.. Thew selected the
composers Sonata III D Minor,
op. 28." five numbers from the
''Etudes- Tableaux. op. &c." and
variations on a Theme by
Corelli."
There are not many modern
piano sonatas imbued with an
exalted religious feeling such as
Rachmaninoff's first. He set the
tenor of the work in it's first
theme. written In the style Of
the Russian Orthodox liturgical
chant and kept it on a spiritual
level to the end. Contrapuntal
Celebrations Of great difficulty
add tonal charm and show the
composers command of re-
sources but do not detract from
his objective. He ends the sonata
by Transforming the chant into
a hymn Of praise in the finale.

gantic task by mastering the
technical difficulties Of this work
and Of the others. His equip
ment was equal to the demands.
chiefly on the bravura side. BY
treating the sonata in a Lisztian
fashion and the "Etudes-Tab-
leaux" likewise, he deprived them
Of their national and individual
characteristics.
These imaginative tone-poems,
inspired by paintings, and rep
resenting phases of national life
as Rachmaninoff knew it, are
difdcult to interpret without
knowing either the pictures or
the country. The "E-flat Minor"
study on the program, for in
stance, portraying the gay activ-
1ty Of a Russian Fair, had moth

Problems of the Debt and Taxes
Budget Appears Certain to Be in the Red at Time
When President Must Try to Deliver on Tax Cut

The Senate Finance Com
mittee majority is confident it
has STAYED of consideration of
a rise in the national debt
limit until next year. Veteran
members cannot imagine an
administration politically so
1nept that it would call a
special session for such a pur-
pose.
1t thus appears that the debt
limit will be closely linked to
taxes and spending in the
overall fiscal review which will
be one of the most important
and politically most fateful
events of 1854. The dour facts
will confront the next Con-
greSS on its opening day.
A grab bag of high taxes i'm
posed for the Korean emer-
gency will expire automati-
cally in January and April.
One of them, excess profits,
the President agreed to forget
for the future after his hard
fought battle to extend it this
year.
Yet Senator Byrd, who could
enforce his warnings against
the debt limit attempt because
his colleagues believe he gets
his fiscal facts straight, is pre-
dieting a $40 billion deficit this
fiscal year and $14 billion for
the IL months after that.

is out on a limb with optimistic
talk about balancing the
budget in the next fiscal year.

on one condition: That West
Germany Solemnly proclaim
its decision not to enter into
any kind of political or mill
tary understanding with the
Western powers.
The East Germans alone
were favored by Moscow with
a police force" Of some 120,-
600 men equipped with the
latest type Of weapons and in
cluding an air force and a
navy. This was supposed to
appeal to the martial tradi-
tions Of all the Germans.
Now the MuScovites are
faced with unexpected explo-
Sions throughout their vast
territories. To the Kremlin's
amazement the East German
police force" proved itself so
unreliable that the Muscovite
proconsulS did not dare use it
during the uprisings. This
army, which the Muscovites
expected to use not only as a
suppreSsive force in Germany
but also as the advance guard
in an attack against the West
is now being dissolved as
quickly as possible.
The rank and file of the
East Germans proved them
selves fearless. Maybe the
pangS of hunger had made
them desperate. But it is more
than that. These half-starved,
unarmed men have been able
to challenge the might of the
oppreSSor.
This spirit of defiance could
spread like a prairie fire if it
had stronger support from the
Tree nations in the West. Hun
ger, privations and national
ism make a potent mixture,
dangerous to those who know
