to such tricks when things
looked bad internally. The
Okhrana, the Czarist secret
police and more humane
predecessor of the MVD,
organized the notorious po-
groms by taking stories that
the Jews had assassinated
Christian children to drink
their blood. The ignorant
population believed the stories
and wholesale massacres of
Jews occurred in some Russian
provinces. At the turn of the
century the United States
Government withdrew it's min

cause of such crimes.
The difference between the
past and the present whole

the pogromS were organized
by the imperial secret police,
they were actually perpetrated
by unruly fanatical mobs: The

President-elect Eisenhower
has an opportunity when he
takes Office to create an Amer
ican institution of transcend
ent importance-a press con-
ference once q week that will
really be comparable to the
questioning done in the Brit
ish Parliament.
The press conference itself
Is relatively new in American
history. having been intro
duced on a regular basis dur
ing the administration of Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson, but it
never has been developed eff
fectively and it has lost much
of its value because of it's dis
organized nature and the
tendency to embarrass a Pres
:dent with tricky questions
asked by opposition critics. In
Britain's Parliament opposi-
ton questions must be sub
mitted several days in ad-
vance.
Gen. Eisenhower had been
reported as lukewarm about
the idea of press conferences,
but it turns out that he merely
has been considering ways and
means Of improving the rela-
tionship between a President
and the press.
A system of written QueS-
tions has often been suggested,
but. while this can be utilized
to some extent. it is not the
whole answer to the problem.
Preparation by a President to
answer many of the questions
leveled at him during a press
conference would be helpful
all around. Thus, a President
who says he can't comment on
an item pertaining to one of
the many departments of the
Government would probably
gladly, do so if he had the
question long enough in ad-
vance to get the desired in
formation from the depart
ment concerned.
Merely to permit written
questions, on the other hand,
would conflne the subject
matter too strictly. An alter
native is to require that the
questions be submitted in
writing not later than three
hours before the press confer
ence is scheduled to be held.

Coming Feud on Appointments
Bockstoge Influence Of Gen. Clay and Gov. Dewey
Has Not Gone UnchoI|enged by Senator Taft

1t has the further effect of put
ting his brother, Allen Dulles,
in line to become head of Gen.
trail Intelligence.
Gen. Clay, not to be outdone,
has now put forward the name
of Gen. William j. Donovan.
wartime head of the CIA's
precursor, the Office of Stra-
tegic Services, for the CIA
post.
Objective observers here
who know CIA and the Ma
tional Security Council to
which it reports feel this a
great injustice to Allen Dulles.
They assert that he is one of
the few Americans who under
stand intelligence work; they
recall that he is the only
American who was able to
penetrate the German general
staff during the war Some
veterans in the field also
charge that Gen. Donovan is
a one-man operator, while
Dulles understands and helped
shape the present setup-a
presidential creation later rati-
fled with approval by Congress.
Secretary designate Dulles
is meanwhile working up a
slight morale problem in his
department, with all his top
flight ambassadors so far
named or forecast being drawn
from the ranks of his clients
and friends and none from the
career service.
These are, of course, the
headaches of a new admin
iStration. But significantly,
politicians are already specu-
lating on when the first Eisen-
hover turnover will begin.

Lowell MeHett::

Gov. Dewey says he hasn't
the slightest idea of what
President elect Eisenhower
had in mind when he re-
marked the other night that
his, Gov. Dewey's. greatest
service to his country "still
lies ahead" Since Gen. Ike
hasn't amplified the compli-
ment and nobody else has done
so for him, it offers a field for
free and easy speculation.
The remark could have
meant very little. It could be
that the general, new to prac-
tical politics himself, had
watched with admiration the
professional performance of
Dewey during the campaign
and was merely saying,
There's a boy who will go
far" Nothing more than that.
But the general surely was
aware that Dewey already had
gone far, had gone so far four
years ago that he could al
most reach out and touch the
White House.
The field for greater service
than that offered by the gov
ernorship Of our largest State
is somewhat limited. There is
the Attorney GeneralShip,
sometimes regarded as a step
upward, but Dewey already
has placed one of his lieuten-
ants in that post. There is the
office of Secretary of State,
providing vast opportunity for
service to the country, but
Dewey has preferred to see an
other Of his lieutenants oc-.
cupying it. There is the United
States Supreme Court, but

Without his guidance the gen.

If he must be the candidate,

It was not to be expected
that the backstage influence of
Gen. Lucius Clay and Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey on EiSen-

long go unchallenged, and it
hasn't.
Senator Robert A. Taft blew
the first whistle on them in
his attack on the appoint

Secretary of Labor. When he

even more explicit.

agencies in the States, and
Senators were united in de-
manding they be consulted

require Senate confirmation.
This objective he now claims
to have achieved.
1t is much too soon to pre-
dict that States Rights regi-
ments commanded by ambi-
tious Governors or State chair
men will challenge the Sena-
tors and the national commit
tee they still dominate. Never
theless, if it is true, as Gen.
Eisenhower said last week, that

The Rosenbergs are doubt
less truthful in protesting that
they do not want to be mar

Party. whose instruments they
are, has cast them in this
role. 1t cares nothing what
ever for the personal fate Of
the Rosenbergs. What is es-

a Communist purpose. This is
the tragic element of the case
that having embroiled them
in capital crime-which they

to consider the alternative,

that there is no cure for the

Livestock Session
Called on Program
To Hold Beef Prices
By the Associated Press

Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son today called a special meet
ing of a Livestock Advisory Com
mittee here September "a on
Government programs for stabil-
izing cattle prices.
The meeting of the 26-member
group-compoSed of representa-
tives of producers, packers and
meat distributors-will precede
an expected heavy run of cattle
to slaughter markets, which
might bring on price declines.
Foreign Aid Chief Harold E.
Stassen announced last night
that, while beef is thus moving
plentifully to market, his agency
will purchase up to $40 million
worth for use in the overseas
aid program.
Congress Interested.
In a statement, Mr.. Stassen
said the decision to buy the beef
was reached after consultation
and agreement" with Secretary
Benson. Mr.. StasSen said the
move was prompted partly by
Congress interest in using United
States farm products in the 1854
foreign aid program.
Mr.. Stassen said some Of the
beef will be of commercial grades,
packed in one-pound tins, while
some other will be fresh-frozen.
He said purchases will begin next
week and continue for so days.
The Agriculture Department
announcement of the livestock
committee meeting quoted Mr..
Benson as saying the beef pur-
chased by Mr.. Stassen's agency
will be from lower cost animals.
The market for these was re-
ported to need strengthening.
Aggressive Actions
Mr.. Benson was also quoted as
saying aggressive actions" TAX
en- by his department have re-
stored confidence in cattle mar
kets by stabilizing producer
prices.
Farmers and ranchers should
look beyond present drought sit
uations," Mr.. Benson said. "Av-
erage profits from cattle feeding
may be realized this fall and
winter. Certainly there will be
an expanded demand next spring
to restock drought areas"
