the President has dealt with

In fact, Gen. Eisenhower has
so little technical knowledge
Of the problem, which has a
long legal history, he was
compelled during the cam

three times.
He did appear devoted to
the principle that the States
should have title to the oil

within historic offshore boun-

noticeably in his state-of-the-

know that we have been ap-
prehenSive Of the dangers of
overplaying our hand with the
Soviet Union before policies
initiated have materialized.
The overall conception Of
our policy was expressed in
the Presidents state-of-the-
Union address:
There is but one way to
, avoid total war and that is to
win the cold war;"
What, exactly, does this
mean? On its face it rules out
any peace to be negotiated at
any time with the Kremlin,
It indicates that the two coun-
tries are already locked in a
war, short Of bloodshed, that
can be ended only by victory
or real and total war. It sug-
gests that the perpetuation of
this cold-war condition is alone
saving the world from catas-
trophe. This, however, could
only be true If somewhere along
the line, when forces were in
greater equilibrium. a settle

he would look it up.
The question is whether the
President will insist that q
tidelands bill must meet his

tionS before he signs it or
whether any bill the tidelands
Senators can get past Con-
gress will be deemed salts
factory. Nobody had the an
swer today, but a lot of people
are worrying about it.
The Attorney General def
initely did encourage the small
band Of Senators who intend
to fllibuster tidelands in the
hope Of attracting the Presi-
dents attention to the merits
Of the issue. Such prolonged
debate could upset the legisla-
tive timetable Of q Congress
extremely eager to adjourn for
the summer by July 4.
A complicating factor is that
Southerners, many of whom
are for the bill, are not averse
to seeing a slight filibuster by
Northerners. figuring it will
weaken the North's case
against civil rights filibusters.
Also, Hawaiian statehood, op-
posed by the South, is due to
follow tidelands on the calen-

Mr.. Vishinsky's Bloody Hands
He Admitted Soviets Sell Arms to Moo's Red Chinese,
So His Government Is Unfit for Civilized Society
David Lowrence::

The committee sessions of
the General Assembly Of the
so-called United Nations have
seen many strange things, but
none stranger than the scene
presented by Andrei Vishinsky,
representative of the Com
munist government of Russia,
in accusing the United States
of wanting to pursue q policy
of war and then admitting
brazenly that his government
is selling arms to Communist
China.
Here is q man whose gov
ernment has inStigated the
war in the Far East, whose gov
eminent has been and still is
sending planes and war sup
plies to kill and MAIN the
troops Of the United Nations
yet he is given the oppor-
tunity to utter his own accu-
sations on a level Of equality
with the ENJOYS Of other ma
tions, all Of this in the face of
q U. N. resolution Of 1850 call
ing on all member nations to

Just a few days ago former
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
now the American Ambassa-
dor to the U. NJ, told photog-
rapherS he did not care to be
photographed shaking hands
with ViShinsky.
Mr.. Lodge was right. No
American representative ought
to be caught shaking the
hands Of representatives of a
government dripping with the
blood Of American boys in
Korea. What is more, it ap-
pears incomprehensible that,
since Ambassador Lodge
frankly told the world how
Russia had instigated the Far
Eastern war, there should be
any ofncial relations with the
Moscow government at all.

Iran Conflict Is Serious Crisis

agreement fell through when
Mossadegh insisted that the
Shah surrender his holdings
in foreign currency to the
state, which, in turn, would
provide him with a monthly
allowance in keeping with his
rank and needs. Also, the
Shah demanded that he be
allowed to sell his lands to the
farmers directly-an operation
which would require some Is
years. Mossadegh insisted that
he sell his land holdings to
the government which would
pay him in government bonds.
Under these conditions, the
Shah refused to take the OPP
portunity to leave the country
and accepted the advice Of
court advisers to force a show
down with the aged but still
powerful Premier. He was
urged to make a test Of popu-
larity and was told that if the
Iranian people had to choose
between their King and poll
tician they would unquestion-
ably side with the former.
Things did not turn out that
way. The plot leaked out and
the hard core of Communists
in Teheran saw a chance to
cause increased confusion and
disorder in the capital.
The demonstration staged
Saturday before the royal pal
ace is said to have been less
spontaneous than it appeared
at first. There were many
stooges Of the Tudeh Com
munist) Party who screamed
Death or the Shah" At the
same time a counter-demon-
stration by the followers Of
Mossadegh demanded loudly
that the Premier remain in his
present dominant position.

was not lacking when the aged
Premier fed in his pajamas to

The conflict between Pre-

Nevertheless, its eruption is

The conflict between the
Shah and Mossadegh has been
going on for more than a year.
The Shah, a weak man, has
attempted since last summer
to leave Iran and 60 to Europe
where he could live without
fear for his life. He has ample
funds in European banks; he
also is the wealthiest landlord
in his own country.
Last fall an arrangement
was reported to have been
made with Mossadegh where

But he acted with his usual
speed and fired the army chief
of staff and arrested a num-
ber of officers-some on the
active list-for plotting his
overthrow.
These arrests gave the Com
munists a chance to shout
American intrigues," since q
number Of the officers had
been trained at one time by
the American military mission.
Mossadegh, in spite of his
unyielding stand on the ma
tionalization of the Anglo
Iranian oil fields, is convinced
that the future of his country
is tied to that of the West.
Like other Iranian political
men, he fears Russia and the
Tudeh Party which he has
described as a trojan horse.
Mossadegh was also con-
vinced that If he yielded to
the weak Shah, who did not
have the stamina to support
effectively the last strongly
pro-Western Premier, Gen.
Razmara, Trans independence
would not last long. It has
been definitely ascertained
that these latest violent erup-
tions were not Of Mossadegh's
making. He was taken as
much by surprise as all the
Western diplomats in Teheran.
1t seems probable that in
this conflict between the Shah
and the Premier, Mossadegh
will have the upper hand. But
in the meantime, conditions
have worsened to such an
extent because Of this new
flare-up that further dramatic

Borkeys Amusing Query Concerning Texas and Louisiana
Noves Brings Up Other Logical Bzore Considerations

The former Vice President,
Mr.. Barkley, made an anus
ing-if not too serious-point
concerning the offshore oil de-
posits in his Sunday evening
televiSion appearance. If, he
asked, Louisiana, Texas and
California are given the title
to and the profits from the
submerged lands, who then
will defend the property
against attack by a possible
enemy? The claims of Texas
and Louisiana, he said, reach
far out into the Gulf of Mex
leo, where we can expect to
see oil derrickS rising in waters
vulnerable to underSea boats.
The enemy could not find a
more attractive target nor a
means Of doing our war re-
sources greater damage. Does
Louisiana or Texas have q navy
capable Of keeping hostile
snorkelS out of the Gulf or
would they look to the good old
United States Navy for the
needed protection?
They would look to the
United States Navy, Of course,
as they would have a right to,
Just as Detroit or Chicago, for
example, would look to the
United States Air Force for
protection against an air at
tack. The Veep's inquiry
merely serves to emphasize the
dog-in-the-manger nature Of
the position taken by the three
States. They accept all the
benefits Of membership in the
Union while seeking to with
hold o part Of their share Of
the cost.

for Civilized Society

Certainly during the last war
nobody In his right mind in
America would have advocated
shaking the hands of Hitler's
personal representatives or
conducting relations with the
Nazi government.
The argument offered now
in rebuttal is that technically
there is no war going on be-
tween Soviet Russia and the
United States. What this
means really is that, although
10000 American casualties
have been incurred in Korea,
the aggresSor's action is never
thelesS sugar-coated as some
thing else besides war" The
word war" is avoided on the
theory that it means only
large-Scale military operations.
Soviet Russia has relatively
little capacity to make large
scale war at this time. She
has no need to use her own
military forces. because she is
winning by infiltration into
large areas of the earth's sur
face while the so-called free
nations sit by with a peace-at-
any-price philosophy and let
the Communists gain victory
after victory.
The United Nations was set
up as an organ to promote
world peace, but it has failed
to live up to its own moral
code. which was to punish ag-

BrowneII's Offshore Oil Ideas
His Opinions Fail to Match Those of Eisenhower,
Swing Some UnsusPectinq Senators Quite Jolt

Attorney General Brownell
was wearing shoes that weren't
mates when he testified about
offshore OIL (the So-called
tidelands). After listening to
him, proponents Of State own
ership bitterly suggested he
had neglected also to match
up his views with those Of
President Eisenhower.
Senator Long said frankly
that in many respects the
Truman position was more
favorable to Louisiana than
Mr.. Brownell's. Senator Daniel
Of Texas snorted that 1t would
take Congress 100 years to
draft the kind of legislation
outlined by the Attorney Cen
eral. Senator Holland Of Flor
ida, whose quitclaim bill does
not fit the Brownell concep-
ton, looked glum.
Only California seemed
likely to get as good a deal as
it wishes under the Brownell
view Of the legal position. The
Attorney General also ap-
peared to contradict views ex-
pressed earlier by his colleague,
Interior Secretary Mckay.
What surprised and shocked
the tidelands Senator's was
Mr.. Brownell's contention that
the Federal Government ought
to retain title to offshore lands
while allowing the coastal

the intermediary stage Of total
war.
II, however. peace is equated
with victory, we anticipate
that our opponents will as
sumo the role Of a defeated
nation, without our having to
impose that role upon them by
force. And 1t suggests that If
they do not eventually assume
that role, we will compel them
to assume it by military means.
Such a statement, it seems
to me, eQuates two mutually
exclusive attitudes: Continuing
peace and victory.
But the cold war can be
ended only by bringing about a
settlement reasonably salts
factory to all concerned. If it
is to be won as the result of
the capitulation of the oppo-
nent short Of recourse to arms.
then what we are hoping to
accomplish without war is the
fruits Of a victory won by war
the elimination of commu-
nism, throwing Russia back to
her prewar boundaries, break
ing her existing alliances, ex-
hausting and paralyzing her by
various means-blockade and
Super-duper weapons - and
maintaining erwin elm
ing military forces all around
her to keep her paralyZed.
I submit that these means
and ends are germane only to
the achievement of victory by
war. Such a victory, short Of
the use Of military force,
would, indeed, be miraculous.
Perhaps the victory envis-
aged is purely moral-that the
