Thomas L. Stokes:

A burning question here now
is:
How long will it be before
President Eisenhower must
come to a showdown with Sen
ator Joseph R. Mccarthy?
It is raised because, even
before this administration gets
really settled, the Wisconsin
Senator is of again in his SEN
sational, hit-and-run manner,
seeking headlines and new
power; but throwing up dust
now which, though 1t may have
been created by Democrats, is
scattered about Government
institutions for which Republic
cans now have become man
ayers. That his current pursuit
is of the State Departments
''Voice of America" is only in
cidental. That is, if he con-
tinues to run on, unrestrained,
in his well-known fashion. He
has never been at a loss for
targets.
During the campaign, when
Senator Mccarthy and his CO.
partner, Senator William E.
Jenner, Republican, of Indi-
ana, we're both tolerated, if re-
luctantly, by Gen. Eisenhower,
1t was explained that this was
a matter of political expedi-
ency and that, if the general
won, both would sink back into
the shadows. It was argued to
the skeptical, who were famil-
lar with the tactics of the
two Republican Senators, that,
since they were Republicans,
they would surely do nothing
to disrupt a Republican ad-
ministration. If they did, it
was argued further, then the
President, himself, would keep
both of them in line. Since
the new administration took
office, there is a passage of
President Eisenhower's mes
sage to Congress to point to,
as follows:
Confident of your under

David Lowrence:

About the most sensible
thing that has been said about
tax legislation has come from
the Secretary Of the Treasury,
George Humphrey, who re-
marked it would be two or
three months" before the Eli
senhower administration is
likely to be ready with recon-
mendetions to Congress. He
added:
Its too early to say much.
We're just getting our feet on
the ground"
To the average person this
will seem surprising, because it
might be assumed that within
80 days the administration
would know its plans. The
truth, however, Is that prob
ably not a single man, either
in the Treasury or in any other
agency of the Government,
today actually knows the facts
and background of every i'm
portant item in the Truman
budget And this is the budget
which is now before the Eisen-
hover administration for con-
Sideration. It took most Of the
year 1852 to make that budget,
and all the memoranda and
papers pertaining to the vari-
Gus items were naturally IA
miliar to the budget officials
and the department heads of
the old administration.
Now it is necessary not only
to examine the lump-sum fig
ures which where made by the
various departments and
agencies of the Government
under old policies but to learn
what the justification may be
under the Eisenhower program
Tor each item that goes into a
departmental total.
The job of anslyzing the
budget in such a short period
by a new administration,
especially at a time when
emergency spending for war
purposes is at it's height, is
something that has never be-
fore been undertaken when
administrations have changed.

Thornos L. Stokes:
Who Will Check the Senator?
G. O. P. ComPoigners Said Mccarthy Would Go Easy
After Election, but It Didn't Turn Out Thot Way

the Voice of America Is Of the
usual piecemeal Mccarthy pat
tern, with the usual insinu-
atoms and innuendoes. The
Voice of America is vulner-
able. There are certainly
things wrong with its opera
ton. Just what those are crit
les will disagree, because prop
uganda is a wide and vague
field in which we Americans
lack experience. Whatever is
wrong with it, however, hardly
is likely to be corrected by the
sort of investigation Senator
Mccarthy conducts. which only
arouses anxiety and creates
doubts about our institutions,
both here at home and abroad.
Another way would have been
to turn over findings to the
new administration so the
errors could be corrected, with
out fanfare, but that, Of
course, would have meant no
publicity for the Senator, and
no political capital.
How long the Senator can
squeeze out political capital for
himself and the Republicans
without interfering with the
operation of this and other in
situations which the Republic
cans now must manage is a
question. In time they will get
a Republican identity in the
public mind.
That undoubtedly is some
thing that now is concerning
the President, as well as the
basic and fundamental and
overruling consideration that
he expressed in his message to
Congress when he spoke of the
two "clear purposes" of meas
lures to protect our security,
thus:
Their first purpose is to
make certain that the Ma
TONS security Is not leopard
lied by false servants. Their
second purpose is to clear the
atmosphere of that unrea-
soned suspicion that accepts
rumor and gossip as substitutes
for evidence"
Objective Judgment is that
McCarthyism has done little to
accomplish the first. but has
beclouded the atmosphere with
plenty of the second.

Year-Rround Operation
Of Public Schools Urued
BY the Assoeioted Press

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25.-Op-
Grafton Of public schools on q IL
months basis was advocated yes
terday before the 9th annual
convention of the National Asso-
citation of Secondary School
Principals.
Russell D. johnson, assistant
superintendent of the Granite
City. Ill.,, Community High
School. said the present nine
month school calendar is carried
over from the days when youth
had to help tend the crops.
Can you think Of a major in
dustrial concern spending an
nually a sum of money equal to
that spent for public education,
or having as much capital in
vested in physical plants, set up
on a pre-planned program of
three-quarter operation?" he
asked.
Mr.. johnson suggested a r.
month program could help allie
viate the problem Of overcrowd-
ing in schools.

remedies. It is hoped that they
will overshadow both Senators
Mccarthy and Jenner when
the time arrives to answer the
question Of what should be
done.
This is theoretically sound
enough; nobody. of course, can
guarantee that Senators Nc
earthly and Jenner will subside
on schedule! In fact, the odds
are the other way. What hap
pens in the interim to States
morale is still another stubborn
reality that will not readily dis
appear from view.

AS spring warns the air and
paints vivid things on the earth,
country places begin to give
real competition to the cities.
Free time initiates itself in
value until by springs end,
every moment that you can
call your own is a treasure to
be spent lavishly-and where
will it buy more than at the
spot you want to be when
you're free to choose?
In the springtime and in
summer, therefore, a sunny
weekend is like a hefty chunk
of gold bullion, all shined up
and ready for you to flash in
spendthrift abandon.
Perhaps 1t would be better
to Danish such thoughts as
spring comes round, and keep
your nose close to the grind
stone. But many folks have
got wealthy by knowing that
you won't, and that what they
should do is cater to your
whim to have your own place

do any of the other myriad
things one can do to get away
in spring, summer and fall
from memories or forebodings,
of the grey chill of winter.

PAMPLICO, S. c.. Dec. 11.-A

hacked of the girls head.
Police in the Eastern Caro-

The girls head and her boy

Wednesday night in an aban-

covery climaxed a three day
search after the finding of the
girls decapitated body in a shall
low grave on the banks of the
nearby Pee Dee River.
State Law Enforcement Divi-
sion officers said Sheriff John
Hanna of Florence County had
sworn out a warrant charging
Raymond Carney, alias j. w.

Both had been shot to death.
Carney, with prison records
for housebreaking and larceny
in North Carolina and South

both States since early yester-
day. Police said he was a farm
worker who had been living un-
der the name of Page about two

French Red Paper
Reports Atomic Plan
Interests Moscow
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE French
Communist newspaper L'Hu-
mantle gave prominent play on
its front page today to Moscow
dispatch reporting Soviet circles
had received President Eisen-
hower's proposal for a peaceful
atomic energy pool with interest.
The dispatch. from L'Hu-
nantes Moscow correspondent,
Roger Garaundy. quoted "usu-
ally well-informed source" as
saying these Russian circles con-
sidered the speech required
careful examination"
The report contracted sharply
in tone with initial unofficial
Soviet reaction to the plan pre-
Sented by Gen. Eisenhower Tues
day in a speech before the Unit
ed Nations General Assembly
There has been no official reac-
ton from the Kremlin as yet.
Moscow radios top propaganda
commentator. Boris Leontyev, de-
clared Wednesday night that the
Presidents proposal was just a
rehash of the Baruch atomic
control plan which the Russians
have often rejected.
Leontyev also charged that
Gen. Eisenhower had threat
ened an atomic war"
Vishinsky's Comment.
Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky
told the U. N. General Assembly
"You cannot insure the use OF
atomic energy for peaceful pur-
poses without unconditional pro-
hibition and strict international
control (of atomic Weapons}.
The Moscow Communist news
paper Pravda kept up this cam
paign today by printing deroga-
tory foreign press comment
which labeled the President S
speech as propaganda and de-
manded that the United States
agree to an immediate atomic
bomb ban. But the newspaper
still had no definite comment of
Its own.
Long Deadlock Over Control.
U. N. deliberations on atomic
energy control have been dead
locked for several years as a re-
suit of Russia's insistence on an
immediate ban and the Vests
demand for an alright control
and inspection system first.
Gen. Eisenhower's plan appar-
emily was designed to cut around
this roadblock by dealing only
with peaceful uses of atomic en-
ergy. He urged the establish
ment of a U. N. commission to
which all atomic powers, includ-
ing Russia, would contribute f1s-
sionable materials and skill for
purposes that would benefit the
whole world.
The suggestion drew general
acclaim throughout much of
Europe and Asia as giving hope
for solution to the atomic prob
lem.
