licly invited him to join the
Democratic Party.
Whatever political claim
Warren may have, Of course, is
overshadowed by that of Gov.
Dewey. No single person con-
tributed more, probably none
as much, to Gen. EisenhoWer's
nomination. Taft'S supporters
emphasized this at the Chicago
convention, endeavoring to
turn that boisterous brawl into
a contest between Taft and
Dewey. Since then Dewey has
appeared to ask for no reward,
although his first lieutenant,
Herbert Brownell, was made
Attorney General. The Attor-
nev General, incidentally, by
custom, is usually the first per
son consulted in the making
of judicial appointments. Mr..
Brownell would naturally speak
well of his Governor and
political patron, even though
he is being mentioned himself
as possible selection.
Dewey, like Warren, has
eminent qualifications for the
Chief Justiceship. An able
lawyer and an exceptional ad-
miniStrator, he has kept
abreast of the times in his
social and economic outlook
so much so that he sometimes
hears himself called a New
Deal Republican by the hard
shells of his own party. There
are many in the latter group
prepared to tell the President
that his appointment would be
fatal.
Dewey, unlike Warren, has
or would be suspected Of hav-
ing. a certain weakness. That
is an undiminished ambition
to be President. It will be al
gued that he could not re-
strain the urge to make the
court a steppingstone to the
White House; the more dis
tinction he might achieve as
Chief Justice, it will be said,
the greater the urge would be.
And Dewey is only 81 years old.
He could become restive on the
court long before he was too
old to run for President.

So many sports reporters
have qualified in the journal
istic profession as purveyorS
Of light and wisdom in the in

no real hesitAncy when Con-
Stantine Brown, regular in
cumbent in this space, asked
me to write a few words to
keep his franchise active
while he spent a few weeks
in Europe, taking a refresher
course on the foreign Situa-

I was a police reporter on
the Midwest'S leading daily

it the old college try for one

In the last hours of the re-
cent session of the Congress
the Republican leadership
passed a special immigration
bill. It is known as the Refu-
gee Relief Act of 1858 and is
designed to permit slightly
more than 100000 aliens
in special refugee-escapee
categories to acquire per-
manent resident status in
our country. 1t is America
once again extending help
ing hand to the unfortunate
peoples of other lands in order
to fuel the melting pot which
has produced the greatest
society in the history of the
world. ..,...
I was designated as admin
istrator Of the program. The
President signed the bill and
directed his foreign informa-
ton helpers to get the word
around the world that the
United States still cared about
the problems Of individuals in
other lands. 1t was at the
signing ceremony at the White
House that the President told
me of his confidence that I
could make the new act work
out successfully and benefl-
cially to the Nation.
Since my knowledge of visas
is limited, I persuaded the
man I consider to be the out
standing visa expert in the
world to agree to act as my

Adlai Stevenson has brought
back from his trip around the
world an impression about the
attitude of many Of our allies
toward the United States which
it is not clear how much he
himself shares, but his chal-
lenge to the Eisenhower ad-
ministration to line itself up
with what looks like an ap-
peasement policy in world, af-
fairs is unmiStakable.
The presidential nominee Of
1852 on the Democratic ticket
is quoted in a copyrighted in
terview in Newsweek as saying:
I'VE must decide whether we
are trying to destroy commu-
nism or trying to achieve a
peaceful co-existence with it.
The rest of the free world is
alarmed by our seeming in
flexibility. There's a suspicion
that our objective is to exter-
inmate communism. They see
little prospect Of obliterating
communism except very gradu-
ally or by war-and they don't
want war"
Mr.. Stevenson makes the
fatal error Of assuming that
communism as a philosophy
or as a social system is
under attack by the United
States, when the truth is
the real enemy is Com
munist Imperialism. He for
gets we are allied with Com
munist YugoSlavia. It is the
tyrannical totalitarianism in
Moscow-not some theory of
economics-which menaces the
peace of the world and keeps
hundreds of millions of per-
sons in bondage.
The deluSion that the free
world can appease or can me
gotiate" any kind of settlement
with a group of evil men who
have lost all sense of honor
and morality still prevails In
many parts of the world and
indeed in this hemisphere.

Is Stevenson on Wrong Tock?
Former Governor Appears to Regard Communism as Enemy
Whereas ReorU S. Foe Is Viewed as Red Imperialism

for peaceful purposes the bill
lions saved on armament when
Soviet Russia adopts the ways
of peace-billions that will go
toward alleviating poverty and
hunger in the world?
One would think from read
ing what is being said about
the United States abroad that
America is bellicose. ungen-
erouS nation, bent on making
everybody think alike on in
tellectual doctrine. and that
communism as a philosophy is
about all the American Gov
ernment has been opposing.
It's a palpable piece Of propa-
ganda which has been spread
around the world about the
United States and its aims.
When Mr.. Stevenson now
calls for a clarification Of our
aims, he is doing a disservice
to his own party as well as to
the present administration.
For the aims of this country
have been made very clear
under both the Democratic
and Republican >administra-
tions in the eight years since
World War II ended. What is
really wrong is that so-called
statesmen abroad in both Eu-
rope and Asia are being bluffed
by the tyrants in Russia. and
are afraid to stand up firmly
against despotism. So they
call instead either for "neu-
tralism" or "appeasement," or
they avoid the issues by talk
ing about communism as a
philosophy or they adopt the
Moscow jargon about peace
full co-existence."
The American Government
isn't spending billions to build
an Army. Navy and Air Force
Just to fight a so-called intel
lectual doctrine. The 5000
American dead and 10000
wounded in Korea weren't
fighting an academic battle on
the merits of any economic
philosophy. They were fight
ing the real enemy of freedom
in the world-Communist i'm

gression.

Doris Fleeson-

PARIS, Sept. 10.-Gen. Al
fred M. Gruenther believes
that the NATO forces now
under his command can slow
down any Russian attack that
may come, and inflict major
damage on the attackers.
He does not say that his
forces can repel a full-scale
attack or win a war. He
does say that they will make
aggression and a war costly to
the enemy.
This amounts to a claim
that NATO has a deterrent
force. .-
In the days when Russia
was gobbling up satellites, this
attribute would have endeared
NATO extremely to the vari-
Gus free nations composing it.
Present disillusionment is as
cf1bed here to many causes.
A major one is that any
weakness in the political, So
cial or economic structure of
a NATO nation necessarily
wea ken S NATO's military
strength. France and Denmark
are giving all too ample evi-
dence Of that type of instabil-
ity.
1t is interesting to see so
many top military men,
schooled as professional SOL
dlers, show such intelligent
comprehension of how all their

mans are essential to any real
defense of Western Europe.
Thus it is easy to be a
pessimist about NATO. What
is impressive about Gen.
Gruenther is that, while he is
not peddling any sunshine and
comedies cause for gloom, he
states very firmly his assess
ment of the present limited
gains.
He also admits that the next
two years will be critical
not because Russia may attack,
but because NATO unity may
be strained.
Gen. Gruenther has had a
great military career but he
has been a brain-and-idea
man, never a combat COM
mander-a fact that almost
led to his losing the, supreme
command here. Yet for that
reason, too, he is not accus-
toned to bands and fash
bulbs, but has learned to
hammer out the hard details
and never-ending chores with
out the spotlight. He will
need the patience Of his Teu-
tonic forebears who pioneered
West Platte, Nebr. Fortu-
nately he has it.
He also still has a twinkle
and a formidable command of
a bridge hand to help him live
through it.

the erroneous assumption that
American policy for the last
several years has been aimed
merely at the destruction OF
communism as an intellectual
philosophy.
Actually, this is a miSrepre-
sentation and distortion of the
point of view of the American
Government, as a rereading OF
the speech by President Eisen-
hover before the American
Society Of Newspaper Editors
on April 16 will corroborate.
Mr.. Stevenson says our allies
need convincing that we are
more interested in settlements
by negotiation, in reducing
tensions, and in stability, than
in force and military action"
and he added that the West
may have to live in a world
with communism for a long
time, perhaps for many
years"
The former Governor Of
Illinois says the administra-
ton here must begin to talk
to the world in terms of what
we are for, rather than what
we are against-l11erely being
against communism is old stuff
in Europe and will win few
hearts in Asia"
This is a sad commentary
on all the millions of dollars
spent by the Truman-AcheSon
administration for information
services and Voice of America
broadcaSts abroad. 1t is a
tragic record of the failure OF
Europeans to take note OF
most of Americas public state
ments since the Korean War
broke out. Evidently, to take
Mr.. Stevenson's analysis of
world opinion, the United
States has simply been ranting
against an economic philo-
sophy and this is "old
stuff" Has Mr.. Steven

Fight for High Court Shaping Up
Liberalism OF Dewey and Warren Appears Make Certain
Bitter Opposition of Hordshe Element in Republican Por

To succeed the friendly and
wise Fred M. Vinson as Chief
Justice of the United States
two names were first to be
mentioned and are still most
discussed: Gov. Earl Warren
of California and Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey of New York. Be-
tween these, assuming both
may desire the appointment,
President Eisenhower may
have difficulty in making a
choice. BY the same token
he may find it advisable to
act rather quickly, lest he find
himself in the middle of an
intra-party battle.
Even before the present va
cancy occurred there were re-
ports, neither confirmed nor
denied but widely accepted,
that Gov. Warren was to be
appointed to the high court
as successor to an associate
justice, unidentified, said to be
planning to retire. The Gov
ernor had announced his de-
cision not to be a candidate
for reelection to the Office on
which he has had such a firm
hold. The President is known
to retain great liking and re-
Spect for Gov. Warren, not
withstanding the latter re-
manned in the contest for the
presidential nomination last
year until the very end. Po-

There is no love lost between
