1t Runs Through
My Mind
BY POLLY j. HANST

No feel of accomplishment can
ever equal that of having a baby.
| suppose, human nature being
what it is, that all mothers eX-
perience the very same kind of
feeling. At least for the first few
hours that follow the birth. We
forget that we are one of millions
and feel exactly like the queen
bee.
Or maybe it's like the hen who
cackles ioyously after laying her
egg. We want to shout, Sec what
! have done" The fact that the
hospital may be loaded with babies
and mothers and busy nurses as
sumo attitudes that it happens
every day, doesn't do one thing to
deflatc the ego.
Or it could be that because the
experience is so widely shared that
makes us feel that we've done
something wonderful.
Whatever it is we have tasted
the joys of accomplishment and
are ever in search for it after our
children are out from under our
feet.
That's why can look at Beebo

sire to go to night school, to be

She is so stepped in accomplish

l can't help but think that these
strong trends Of learning we're
now in arc because they are our
way out for this feel Of accomplish

us. And how wonderful!
The success of these adult cdu-
cation classes is proving something.

the most alert women I've known,

Doris FIeeson-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec.
14.-The principal impression
left by the weekend meeting
of Democrats here is that the
influential Eastern segment of
the party is presently operat-
ing on the theory that Adlai
Stevenson will be the candi-H
date for President in 1856. The
meeting was built around a
$1O0-a-plate Jefferson-Jackson
Day dinner with $500 diners,
proving the financial health
of the loyal opposition to
President Eisenhower.
The Stevenson segment can
tap money and brains. For
example, that tried and true
angel and aide to past Demo-
cratic administrations Averell
Hartman, came out for him
here, renouncing his own polit-
ical ambitions. The party in
tellectuals were on hand, still
captivated.
All Stevenson admirers in
deed show a dedicated fervor
which proves that, whatever
happens, the former Governor
of Illinois is a man with
following, therefore man to
be reckoned with in politics
His problems are the prac-
tical ones inherent ir the fact
that being out of Office he is
largely dependent upon the
favor Of others who are in.
The Stevenson supporters
say that they will at all times
maintain a correct position
toward the Congress where
the party record actually will
be made. They will look in
stead to the Governors to help
build a political base for their
candidate - a pattern that

How many Of those who
wrote Jefferson kilograms dealt
with the issue on which they
were asked to write? Many
newspaper dispatches. for
example, failed to make the
issues clear. Secretary Dulles

speech by attributing to him

munjom.
Here is exactly how the
reference to ''perfumed notes"
arose in Senator McCarthy's
speech:
"On September IL, 1858, the
Chinese Com m u nists an
nounced that they would not
treat as prisoners of war
American hiers who were shot
down during the Korean war,
over Manchuria. On September
10, 1853, the Army had an
nounced that some 900 Ameri-
can young men known to have
been prisoners of the Com
muniSts in Korea we're still un-
accounted for. Unaccounted
for, as of tonight, my friends.
"Well why do I bring this
situation up tonight in talk
ing about the Republican
Party? The Republican Party
did not create this situation,
I admit. We inherited it. But
we are responsible for the
proper handling of this situa
tion as of tonight. And what
are we going to do about it?
Are we going to continue to
send perfumed notes following
the style of the Truman-Ache-
son regime? Or are we going to
take the only position that an
honorable nation can take
namely that every uniformed
American packed the pride and
power of this Nation on his
Shoulders?"
The Wisconsin Senator's
question, moreover. is still un-
answered to this day. News has
been suppressed about the
circumstances surrounding the

It is difficult to guess what
the national and international
effects of the Presidents
speech will be.
It revealed that the United
States is. at this moment, in
possession Of atomic weapons
equal in destructive power to
all explosives of every kind
used in World War II on all
fronts. In short, we are pres
emily in a position to blow the
world-with the assistance of
the Russians - into kingdom
come. If the object of the
revelation, as a he dlin e
blazoned, was to "shock the
Russians into their Senses" the
question still remains: What
senses?
For we may assume, I think,
that the revelations were not
news to the Russians who
know. approximately, Ameri-
can atomic strength and that
it is vastly superior to any,
thing the Russians and their
allies command.
This power. furthermore, is
in the hands of American
forces stationed fairly close to
the Soviet Union. especially in
the West German Palatinate
(French zone) where one of
the most formidable military
installations in history - the
central supply zone of allied
forces in Europe - has been
and is being constructed.
The facts revealed by the
Presidents speech and others
certainly known to the Rus
slams should act as q deterrent
to any Russian armed attack
on Europe.
But as a preface to a Big
Four political conference it
leaves the primary questions
wide open, or-Since Bermuda

try his hand once more at an
appeal to the Soviets and their
satellites to share in the non-
military blessings which nu-
clear developments can bring
about in harassed world.
Intelligence reporters had
no illusions that we could in
duce the Reds to accept even
temporary compromise with
the free and peace-loving ma
tions. But they believed that
fundamentally the Muscovites
might be tempted to some
agreement regarding atomic
weapons if provided with a
chance to relegate them to
second place in warfare if ap-
preached in the manner Presi-
dent Eisenhower did. And
here is their reasoning:
Although the Russians have
the secret of manufacture of
atomic and hydrogen bombs,
they still are behind us. They
feel, according to our psyche
logical intelligence, that while
we could recover quickly after
an atomic attack, they could
not do so under a strong re-
taliatory counterattack. Tech

of the East from Russia to

They better start analyzing
those kilograms and letters in
the McCarthy-versus-the-ad-
ministration controversy over
foreign policy received recently
at the White House. The anal
ysis may contain an answer as
to whether the Republicans
will lose control of both houses
of Congress in 1854 and also
the presidential election in
1856.
1t would be worth while for
the White House staff to con-
duct a mail research for it is
irrelevant merely to count the
kilograms and letters and say,
as the White House press sec
retary did the other day, that
the kilograms were slightly
ahead" on the administration
side whereas Mccarthy was
somewhat ahead on the letters.
What must be ascertained
basically is how many OF the
writer's of the $4,000 kilograms
and letters voted for Stevenson
in 1852 and now are ready to
switch their allegiance and
how many voted for Eisenhow-
er and now either will stay
away from the polls or vote
Democratic. A $4,000 sample
is big enough as scientific
studies have shown. Actually
many of the Gallup polls are
based on a sample Of only
1000 per study.
Judging by the information
given out it could be assumed
that the count showed So per
cent in favor of the adminis-
tration and 48 per cent op-
posed to its policies. If the
breakdown shows that of the
Democrats 80 per cent differed
with Mccarthy and 10 per cent
agreed with him it wouldn't be
of much avail to the White
House from a political view
point unless the Republican
disaffection were also small.
But if as many as 25 per cent
of the Republicans are in dis
agreement with the Presidents
position on a continuance of
trade with Red China then

Hall may be repeating his

1t proposes an immediate
reopening of the question OF
atomic disarmament and with

from the powers who possess
them, to be used for producing

could revolutionize human So
ciety, especially in areas def

And certainly common work

them being a satisfactory peace

a second term has become al
most a matter of course,
though you may remember
that some Democrats bucked
and bristled against the re-
nomination of President Tru-
man in 1948. They came to
recognize, however, that if they
did not nominate him, whoever
was nominated would have to
run on his record, and so
would the party. So, in the
end, he got the assignment.
Failure to renominate him
would have been a confession
of weakness, as would be true
of any President, particularly
in these times when a Presi-
dent becomes so closely identi-
fled with a party's record, and
becomes it's symbol or, better,
its trademark.
So Speaker Martin seems to
be on the beam-for reasons
of plain human nature and all
the other reasons.

detention of 900 American boys
who still have not been re-
turned despite the fact that
the Korean armistice terms
stipulated that all prisoners
who wanted to come back must
be returned. How many of the
senders of the letters and tele-
grams faced that concrete
issue when they expressed
their views to the White
House?
In another section of the
same speech, to be sure. Sem
ator Mccarthy denounced the
allied trade with Red China.
Great Britain, for instance,
doesn't deny that she exported
rubber-a strategic material
to Soviet Russia throughout
the Korean war. Moscow has
admitted publicly that Soviet
Russia has been sending mu-
nitions and war materials to
Red China during the Korean
war. The Truman and Eisen-
hover administrations did not
use their maximum influence
with the allies to stop that
trade. That's the Mccarthy
charge and that's why he and
other Senators advocate cut
ting off financial and eco
nomic aid to the allies if they
insist on supplying war ma
terials to the enemy in a war
in which our own soldiers are
engaged.
How many of the senders of
letters and kilograms con-
cerned themselves with that
issue?
The barrage of letters and
kilograms means that there is
a serious division of opinion
about a policy of constant
"give away" to our allies with
out obtaining a faithful ad-
herence by them to the
simple proposition of pro-
tecting the lives of American
soldiers from stabs in the back
with weapons made from ma
terials sold by merchants in
allied countries. Any candi-
date for Congress in either
party who wants to test that
issue at the polls next autumn
need have no doubt as to what
the vote would be.

But he is allowing his will

he must abandon modesty and

management. American-as
President Eisenhower has been

Mr.. Stevenson incidentally
was not the oratorical lion of
the Philadelphia conclave.
That honor went to the one

Mr.. Barkley put the crowd in
a good humor with his story of

who told him he would live

said.
Then, speaking seriously. he
told the story of the many
Presidents he knew and served
under who made mistakes of
judgment but did the best they
knew how at the time, begin
ming with Woodrow Wilson,
who, Mr.. Barkley thought,
might have had the League of
Nations had he compromised
when the time was right. The
deep emotion with which the
elder statesman pleaded for
more humanity and less poll
tics in judging men who bore
such great responsibilities
made him a very hard man to
follow before the sentimental

These brave words suffer
from a certain righteousness
when it is realized that many
pivotal States have Repunli-

Democratic Governors of Ohio
and Michigan, Frank Lausche
and Mennen Williams, are
widely suspected of having
Presidential ambitions of their
own. However, neither of these

do not believe that two years
later he could be a serious
candidate for President, even
if he wins and all goes we'll for
him. They figure instead he
could follow Mr.. Stevenson to
the White House.
The news from MasSachu-
setts admittedly is not too good
since Senator Mccarthy has
more admirers among Demo-
Gratis there than among Re
publicans. Some optimism is
felt that Connecticut can be
reclaimed by a Democratic

not legally or conventionally
hold the East European states
though they are all under
Communist governments, all
but one installed by Soviet
armies. The President repudi-
ated this situation, saying we
seek a harmonious family IT
free European nations with !
none a threat to another and
least of all to the Soviet
Union" That suggests that
East Europe should eventually
be integrated with West Eu-
rope, with the Soviets outside
and their security somehow
guaranteed by a new Locarno.
But there is nothing what
ever to indicate that the So
viets will accept this or that

there are peaceful means Of
achieving the reunification of
Germany without abandoning
German participation in the

United States. And at the
forthcoming four-power con-
ference in Berlin, the Soviet
might come up with a polit-
ical atom bomb of it's own
which would appeal to France
and to strong forces in West
Germany.
Then there was the Presi-
dents remark. I'VE will never
say the people of Russia are

coming conference the gov
ernments of the West will have
to negotiate with the govern
ments of the Soviet Union, not
the Soviet people!
Altogether, therefore. neither
what has come out OF Ber-

President Eisenhower's pSy-
Geological warfare advisers are
hoping for definite results
from his speech at the United
Nations offering to set up an
international bank" of fiS-
sionable materials.
The study of psychological
trends in friendly or hostile
countries now has precedence
over all intelligence activities.
Psychological warfare was of
relatively little consequence in
the last war. The enemy was
defeated by the preponderant
numerical and chronological
superiority of the allied forces.
The enemy's endea avors to
weaken the morale of the allied
armies by psychological means
had no effect. Our own efforts
were successful only after the
opponents military forces
began to crumble under the
blows of allied land, sea and
especially air forces.
Since the beginning Of the
cold war, however, psychologi-
cal warfare has been given a
top position. A special as
sistant to the President was
in the White House in the
Democratic administration as
there is one in the new Repub-
lican regime. a=.
Agents of all branches of
intelligence and especially
those of the CIA are more in
terested in psychological Il ends
and reactions than in the ac-
tual number of planes. a.lisS
and guns in enemy and allied
countries.
These factors are said to
have been considered in the
decision of the President to
