Wisconsin Senator Indicates 1t Will Be Elect Republicans

of his crusaders. It wasn't an
easy decision. Mccarthy had
publicly maligned Gen. Eisen-
hower'S personal hero and
military sponsor, Gen. George
Marshall. Because of this, it
was widely believed. the great
crusade would bypass Nc
Carthy's State. But the cam
paign train rolled into Wis
conSin and when it came to a
stop, Mccarthy was among
those alighting with the can
didate, having been taken
aboard in Illinois during the
night. Whether this con-
sideration shown by the gen.
eral decided the senatorial
contest cannot be known, but
Mccarthy was elected with
a vote much smaller than
EiSenhower'S.
Which recalls similar case,
that of Senator Jenner from
the neighboring State of In
diana. He had called Gen.
Marshall "a front for traitors.
He, too, was taken into the
crusade and has since dem
onstrated his appreciation in
much the same manner. He.
too, has been getting big
ideas. Don't be surprised if
he insists that next years
slogan be corrected to read,
Elect a Republican Congress
and uphold the hands of Nc
Carthy-and Jenner."

1t is interesting to note that
President Eisenhower told his
press conference the other day
that he didn't know just
what the term "McCarthyism"
really means. Mr.. Truman in
his speech a week ago. how
ever. defined it this way:
1T is now evident that the
present administration has
fully embraced. for political
advantage, McCarthyism. !
am not referring to the Sena-
tor from WisconSin-he is
only important in that his
name has taken on a diction-
ary meaning in the world. 1t
is the corruption of truth. the
abandonment of our historical
devotion to fair play. 1t is
the abandonment of the due
process of law. It is the use
Of the big lie and the un-
founded accusation against
any citizen in the name of
Americanism or security. 1t
is the rise to power of the
demagogue who lives on un-
truth: it is the spread Of fear
and the destruction of faith
in every level Of our society"
Now, Senator Mccarthy in
his rejoinder not only says the
definition given by Mr.. Tru-
man corresponds with that
proclaimed by the Communist
Party organ-the Daily Work.
er, which he says coined the
phrase "McCarthyism" - but
he goes on to give this defini-
ton of "Trumanism":
"Trumanism' can perhaps
best be defined as the placing
Of your political party above
the interest of the country
regardless of how much the
country is damaged thereby.
1t is the theory that no matter
how great the wrong, it lis
right if it helps your political
party. 'Trumanism' in effect
says to the head of a house.

of 100000 worth of broad
cast time which was a con-
tract to do a job for, not on,
his own party.
The whole episode is instruc-
tive in its picture of Mccarthy
at work. It shows clearly how
his aggressive and restless
mind Seizes upon innocence,
craft, weakness and timidity
lin others to form winning
combinations for himself.
At the very moment that
the Republican National Com
mittee was leisurely debating
who best could answer Mr..
Truman. they got word that
Mccarthy had scored what
Broadcasting Magazine calls
THE Great Hitch Hike"-the
gift Of priceless time with
which to enter the American
home.
The committee was un-
happy. It had been blithely
cooperating with Mr.. Brown
ell and, in fact, had under
taken and successfully COM
pleted the delicate mission of
calling off the Un-American
Activities Committee so that
the planned Jenner presenta-
ton could take place with Dig
nifty. They had been preening
themselves on what they be-
lieved to be a real coup, espe-
cially the appearance of j.
Edgar Hoover.
Nobody volunteered, how
ever, for a mission to liberate
the networks from their COM
mitment to Mccarthy with all
its attendant risk of his per-
sonal displeasure. They de-
cided they were stuck with it
and, Of course, they could not

the police, because if you do
the criminal will have you
arrested for disturbing the
peace"
"Trumanism" will be an is
sue in the campaign because it
represents an attempt by the
Executive in 1852 to seize the
properties of American indus
try without any constitutional
sanction of law and because it
represents an abuse of public
authority in giving special
privileges to a group of ia
vored citizens. especially in tax
fixing and the sale of Govern
ment influence.
AS for demagoguery, the
speeches of former President
Truman-one of which accused
Gen. Eisenhower of a "thor-
oughly dishonest" statement in
his campaign-and the smear
attacks repeatedly made on
former President Hoover that
emanated from the Democratic
National Committee are by no
means instances of exemplary
behavior on the part of the
Trumanites.
Most candidates in both
parties will avoid the Commu-
mist issue if they can because,
after all, it is not the Wiscon-
sin Senator but the millions of
voters who think the Demo-
cratic administration covered
up and suppressed the facts
about Communists in Govern
ment for fear of political in
jury at the polls who will be
allenated if any one attempts
TO make a straight-out anti
Mccarthy issue. Also, on the
other hand. if any candidate
mpugns the loyalty of the
former President, it will BOOM
erang. The issue, where it does
arise. will be fought rather on
the laxity and looseness of the
Democratic administration. It
can be of no avail in districts
where the Democratic mem
bers Of Congress-and there
are many of them-have
fought the Communists vigor-
ously in public hearings and
speeches in Congress.

Churchill Needs New Successes
Prime Minister Is Not as Strong in Peace as He Wa
In War; He Wants One Final Feather in His Cap

Mr.. Churchill has lost his
fiery enthusiasm of bygone
days. when he was asking his
countrymen and the rest OF
the world to spare no efforts
or sacrifices to fight totali-
tarianism to the end. He has
mellowed on that score to
such an extent that he con-
siders the American attitude
toward Moscow and Peiplng
both unwarranted ara foolish.
He now finds that within his
own cabinet he is no lUbger
blindly obeyed as was the case
during the last wal, OPPOSE
tion is developing among the
members of his administrator
as well as in the ranks of the
Conservative members of the
House of Commons. The
whispers that "Old Winnie is
too old" have unquestlonably
reached his already somewhat
deaf ears. At the zenith of one
of the most brilliant political
careers in history. he wishes to
leave public life with the added
glory that he could be her
majeSty's Prime Minister to
bring about peace. He wants
to show that he can prosecute
peace aims with the same dog.
gedness he displayed in the
war against German and ltal-
ian totalitarian aggression.
And in order to achieve this
last fond objective of his life.
neither the possibility of =. a
solution to the Egyptian crisis
nor a settlement of the Ira
nian oil problem are sufficient.
He needs to put Great Britain
back as the foremost trading
nation in the world. To do
this he must put in motion the
wheels of Britain's trade with
the 800 million behind the
Iron Curtain. ~
And he is bent to set the
foundations for such a plan,
at the forthcoming Bermuda
conference, in order to avoid Q,
political disaster at home.

Lowell MeNett-

If the commodious brick
cottage built for the use of
the President and his family
by the Augusta National Golf
Club contains a radio or a
television set, it is to be hoped
the President was too tired to
listen or look Tuesday night.
He might have found it a hu-
initiating experience. He would
have heard and/or seen him
self referred to by a Senator
whom he had helped to elect.
as a "well-meaning person"
one who, by inference, doesn't
know the facts of life. The
Senator was Mccarthy who
had been granted a full, free
half hour of the expensive
air and sound waves to reply
to a half-minute criticism of
"McCarthyiSm" by former
President Truman. This gen.
erosity on the part of the
networks enabled the speaker
to take in a lot of territory,
including his opinion Of the
man now President.
"A few days ago." said Nc
Carthy, Il read that PreSi-
dent Eisenhower expressed the
hope that by election time in
1854. the subject of commu-
nism would be a dead and for
gotten issue. The raw, harsh,
unpleasant fact is that COM
munism is an issue and will
be an issue in 1854.

ing persons who speak about
communism not being an issue
that communism is not iso-
lated from the other great
evils which beset us today"

Both "McCarthyism" and
"Trumanism" will be issues
in the 1854 congressional cam
paigns-but not always as
between the Republican and
Democratic Parties. The is
sues will arise between Repub-
lican candidates conteSting in
their primaries and between
Democratic candidates con-
testing in their primaries. On
the outcome of the primaries
will depend whether either is
sue gets into the final cam
paign.
Any idea that all Democrats
will line up to defend "Tru-
manism" and that all Repub-
licans will defend Mccarthy
ism" may be dispelled now.
For any one familiar with
congressional elections knows
that such matters are usually
local rather than national and
that the Importance of an is
sue is related to the kind of
constituency involved.
Thus. Senator Saltonstall,
Republican, who is up for re-
election in Massachusetts, next
year, has just been quoted as
saying "SubverSion in Gov
ernment" would be an issue
in the elections in his State.
In Massachusetts, there has
been a deep-seated belief that
Communists in Government
have been treated too gently.
This might not be true in
other States where neither
candidate may raise the issue
at all.
There is room for difference
OF opinion as to how these
issues will develop, but past
experience shows that neither
party as such will take a stand
committing its respective can
didateS for Congress.
"TrumaniSm" will, Of course,
be an issue made wherever the
congressional candidate is
faced with the cry that NC
Carthyism" has been embraced
by the Eisenhower administra-
ton, as charged by former
President Truman in his ra-
dio-television speech of No
vember 16.

forswear their own issue. With
what they now realize was mis-
taken complacency, they al
lowed it to be billed as the Re-
publican answer to Mr.. Tru-
man.
From the standpoint of
Gen. Eisenhower, it was hand
biting with a vengeance.
Broadcasting castigated the
networks for their timidity in
yielding to McCarthy's "op-
portunistic motives" The net
works did not have at any time
any request for this "equal
time" from the usual source of
such requests for both parties,
the national committee. They
yielded with a wary eye on the
FEC.
What it amounts to is that
Gen. Eisenhower reaped some
of the whirlwind from having
planted two Mccarthy friends
on the Federal Communica-
tions Commission, one of the
most delicate and sensitive
agencies in Government.
The first of these, John C.
Doerfer, came highly recon-
mended but he comes from
Wisconsin and necessarily had
to have the Endorsement of its
Senators. The other is an out
and-out protege whose wife
was Mrs. McCarthy's wedding
attendant. He is Robert E.
Lee and he may conceivably
be in some trouble as a result
OF the Mccarthy telecast. Mr..
Lee has been nominated and
not confirmed; Democrats al
ready were planning to oppose
him and they may get some
G. o. P. recruits.

Mccarthy Challenges President
Broadcast Called Clear Implication That Senator
Has Presidential Aspirations of His Own

Members of the Eisenhower
administration recoiled in en-
barrasSment from their radio
TV sets when Senator Joseph
r. Mccarthy used equal time"

to reply to former President
Truman for an attack upon
President Eisenhower's leader

This is a formidable upset
Of the Brownell plan to give

ment issue a McCarthy-free
run against the Democrats.
1t could revive an idea to
which the President and his
aide, Sherman Adams, once
were partial for a commission
to take over the whole prob
lem.
Mccarthy has now shown
the Attorney General whom
Mccarthy regards as the in
truder. He has also afforded
some insight into the way the
Mccarthy mind is working.
The challenge to Gen. Eli
senhower is the most striking
aspect of Wednesday nights
show with its clear implica-
tion that Mccarthy has presi-
Dental aspirations of his own.
This was reinforced by Nc
Carthy's modest picture of
