The White Case

The Mccarthy blast aside. the
oddly durable Harry Dexter White
case gave signs of petering out, %
days after it got started.
Somewhere in Ontario, former
Russian Embassy code clerk, Igor
Gouzenko, waited for the final
word on whether or not he would
become the latest star witness
before a congressional committee.
BY the end of the week, it seemed
unlikely that he would.
Even if he did, the odds were
against his contributing much to
the White case. Mr.. Gouzenko
said he wanted to give the Sena-
tors advice on spy-trapping tech
niques, not any new information
about Red agents he had known.
Mr.. GouZenko fled the Soviet
Embassy in Ottawa in 1945, tipping
off the Canadian government to
widespread spy conspiracy. Much
of the information he gave the
Canadians was turned over to
United States authorities through
the FBI agent at Ottawa.
Since the White case broke, staff
members of the Jenner subcom-
mittee have been interested In

another spot and take some of the
heat off herself.~
The spark that set off the latest
United Nations crisis was the raid
by what a U. N. investigating team
said were Israeli troops on the
Jordan village of Kibya. More
than so persons we're killed. The
Big Three took the case to the
U. N. Security Council, then, after
a formal investigation, recon-
mended that Israel be severely
admonished.
1Srael'S Delegate Abba Eban pro-
tested that the raid was in retail
iation for series of Jordan raids
on Israeli border villages. He
added that international censure
would do no good. What is needed,
he said, is a solution for the
fundamental problem separating
the two Near East countries. The
solution could come only through
negotiation between Jordan and
Israel, according to the Israeli
representatives. They promptly
asked Jordan to sit down and talk.
90 Vote
Jordan didn't say yes, and she
didn't say no. And the Security
Council went ahead last week and
voted 90 for a resolution express
ing "the strongest censure" Of
Israel. Two of the II Security
Council members abstained: Rus
sia on general principles, Lebanon
because the censure was not strong
enough.
Lebanon'S objection aside, the
cenSure was the toughest U. N.
flashing given any govern
ment-a serious setback for Israel
and a diplomatic triumph for the
Arab world.
But Israel did not take it lying
down. Delegate Eban promptly
invoked Article XII of the Israel
Jordan General Armistice Agree
ment, a peace treaty sponsored
by the U. NJ, to demand con-
ference with Jordan. The Jorda-
mans had been lodging a confer
ence, Mr.. Eban said, but the peace
treaty specified that either coun-
try may request the U. N. to call
a conference to review the treaty
and both parties must attend.
Next step will be for the U. N.
Secretary General to see if the
treaty clause was correctly inter-
preted by Israel. If it was, the
conference will be called. Then,
the Israeli believe, Jordan will be
on the defensive. For the Israeli
are convinced the Arab countries
do not want to settle with Israel
but want to push her out of Asia
Minor.
1t was a rough week for Israel,
but there were many more rounds
to come.

one was courteous, though q bit
hurt over western actions which
would not contribute to world
peace. The first note demanded
that the West virtually disarm
before Russia would be willing to
talk; the second made no such
conditions. The previous note
insisted that Big Five dncluding
Red China) meeting be held on all
world problems, rather than a
Big Four conference on European
tensions.
The new note boiled down to
this: The Soviets we're willing to
send Foreign Minister Molotov to
Berlin to meet with Foreign Min
lister Bidault of France, Foreign
Secretary Eden of Britain and
Secretary of State Dulles of the
United States. No date was Sug-
gested. Only one specific agenda
item was mentioned, plans for
later Big Five meeting.
Pleased but Cautious
The British and French diplo-
mats were cautiously pleased by
the note. They indicated their
answer would be acceptance, but
they held no illusions that a meet
ing necessarily would produce re-
suits. The State Department,
however, was more reserved. 1t
pointed out, first, that the note
was scheduled to coincide with the
French cabinet crisis over approval
of the European army. AS the note
devoted many paragraphs to the
dangers of German rearmament,
it could have been expected to
make the French think twice about
an Endorsement of the European
army. (The French government
squeaked through the crisis, how
ever. The General Assembly ap-
proved a watered-down resolution
promising vaguely to carry on
with the creation of a united
Europe."O
The State Department also
pointed out that the Soviet note
did not compromise a bit from
RusSia's former cold-war stands.
No replies will be sent until
after the Bermuda conference of
the Big Three leaders starting
Friday. A common answer will be
worked out. Predictions in diplo-
matte circles were that the invita-
tion for Berlin talks would be
accepted.

EOR ALMOST THREE WEEKS,
IL while all eyes were on the bat
ter's box in a classic performance
of the Great American Game, Joe
Mccarthy of Wisconsin was off to
one side, batting fungoes.
AS the game progressed, the
Republicans seemed to be scoring
steadily with no help from the big
Slugger from Appleton. There was
no indication that the G. o. P
management had any plans for
inserting him in the lineup-and
the rumor started going around
that Joe Mccarthy was on his way
back to the minors to make room
for boy from the Three-I League
named Jenner.
Then, by a ruSe so slick the
Republicans themselves hardly re-.
allied it was happening, the lineup
was changed and Joe Mccarthy
came to bat. And this week end,
four days after his turn at the
plate, the boys in the press box
were still debating whether Big
Joe had knocked one over the
fence, merely banged out a loud
foul-or unceremoniously moved to
another park and started a new
game all his own.

But last week a messenger turned
up at the door of the American.

for each country. Again the sub

Declaration Of War

After excoriating the Democrats
with charges, invective and post
hoe, ergo propter hoe logic; after
reading himself and his recent
operations into the act; after cast
ing himself as the aggrieved VIC
tim of "vilification and smear" ;"
Senator Mccarthy turned on his
own party.
His declaration of war broke
down into five points:
1. He asserted in effect that the
Eisenhower leadership was show
ing itself to be deficient in under
standing of the Communist men
ace.
@ He demanded by implication
that the administration fire a vet
eran Foreign Service officer who
had incurred his displeasure.
3. He called on the executive

Congress

THE ADMINISTRATION is out
Il to make a record in next
years session of Congress that will
provide vehicle for Republican
victory in the "a congressional
elections. 1t shapes up now as one
Of the most significant, and busiest,
sessions in recent years.
Last week, congressman were
given some advance hints of what
their task may be next year. Some
of the news was hopeful, some
discouraging.
The good ne1US!' Harold E. Stas-
sen, director Of foreign opera .
tionS, reported to Congress that
substantial reductions could be
made in foreign economic aid to
Europe for the coming fiscal year.
All countries but Spain, Greece,
Turkey and France were about
ready to stand on their own feet
he said (French aid would go to
Indo-China). Mr.. Stassen also rec
commended that trade with Europe
be stepped up as aid diminished.
The Stassen report, in the eyes
of Congress, meant that at least
81 billion could be cut from cur
rent economic aid to Europe ($225
billion and probably much more.
No Excise Tex
Speaker of the House Joseph w.
Martin, jr., had some more good
news when he returned last week
from two-month tour of Europe.
He said Congress will not pass \
manufacturers excise taxa form
of sales tax-thus relieving Con-
gresSmen of the choice between
more revenue and a vote against
an unpopular tax. Mr.. Martin also
said the excess profits tax would
be permitted to die at the end Of
this year along with Korean War
10 per cent personal income tax
increase. He backed the Presidents
recommendation that the sched-
uled " per cent increase in
social security taxes be postponed.
And he predicted that q workable
revision Of the Taft Hartley law
would be devised.
The bad retDS: Mr.. Martin be-
lieved, and Mr.. StaSsen agreed
with him, that military aid to Eu-
rope would have to be continued.
Defense spending would have to
remain high in view of the con-
tinued cold war, Mr.. Martin said.
Thus, he predicted, an unbalanced
budget was likely for the coming
fiscal year, prediction already
voiced by the President.
Mr.. Martin foresaw rough time
on farm legislation. Congress WAN

getting Mr.. Gouzenko to testify.
At first, the Canadian government
refused the Jenner groups request.
Then, when a second request was
issued, the Ottawa government
agreed to allow the hearing
under these conditions:
l. That the hearing be con-
tingent on Mr.. Gouzenko's willing
ness to testify.
2. That it be held under Cana
dian auSpices-which apparently
meant also under Canadian rules
of procedure.
3. That all information obtained
be held in confidence unless and
until it is released by Canada.
Grumbling, Mr.. Jenner dropped
the project.
Though the final round over Mr..
Gouzenko may not yet have been
fought, the Jenner group gave
signs on Friday of giving up for the
time being. It was, this week end,
preparing to study the cases of
Alger Hiss and eight other former
American civil servants whom it
already has labeled as spy-ring
suspects.
In announcing the Alger Hiss
probe, Mr.. Jenner was repeating
himself somewhat. He had made
a similar announcement a week
ago last Tuesday, just before At
torney General Herbert Brownell
and FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover
testified.
But the Indiana Senator was not
the only one coming out with old
news as the White case lost its
initial zing. In Senator McCarthy's
Tuesday night appearance he
reached into his kitbag for docu-
mentS and produced photostats of
letters written in behalf of an ac-
cused Communist spy by former
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
and former Secretary of the Treas
ury John w. Snyder.
The Senator did not tell his lis
teners that the documents were al
ready available-in printed form
on pages 78 and 100, respectively,
of Senator Jenner'S hearings of
last summer.

strategic material. Besides, it could
be pointed out, there is always on
the books the So-called Battle Act,
which gives the administration the
power to withdraw aid from any
nation shipping strategic material
to Iron Curtain countries. And
finally, if the administration is
right, the volume Of China trade
at present passing over the sea
lanes is so small that it's disap-
pearance would not-as Senator
Mccarthy said-"deal a death blow
to the war-making power of Com
munist China"
Senator McCarthy's appeal to
the voters was Cd that his foreign
policy and not the constitutionally
prescribed foreign policy of the
executive branch was the correct
one, and (2) that the executive
branch in II months of reSpon-
sibility had failed to respond to
last November'S mandate.
His peroration was in the great
tradition. Calling on the classics,
he referred to the great Roman
Senator Cato who proviked a war
with Carthage by crying each day
on the Senate floor that Carthage
must be destroyed. The listener
was left to wonder whether Sena-
tor Mccarthy was pledging him
self to goading the United States
into war with Russia.
But while the Nation waited for
the next move from the Senator
from Wisconsin, it was left free
to ponder the words of another
Roman, who opened his commen-
tary on the Gallo campaign with
the observation that the whole
country was divided into three
parts.

Answer to Truman

What got Senator Mccarthy into
the act was a speech November 16
by former President Truman. For
more than 20 minutes that night,
Mr.. Truman talked about the case
of Harry Dexter White, the man
who had been promoted to the
international Monetary Fund after
having been linked with Commu-
mist espionage in an FBI report
And for something less than q
minute and a half, Mr.. Truman
spoke feelingly about Mccarthy
ism," saying that the man from
Wisconsin was not important as
an individual, but only as a name.
Senator Mccarthy, who had
been out of the limelight in the
early days of the White imbroglio,
leaped on Mr.. Truman's brief re-
marks about McCarthyism to in
ject himself into the controversy.
He demanded-and got-time on
radio and televiSion last Tuesday
night, equal to the half hour period
assigned to Mr.. Truman. His
purpose, he said, was to answer the
former Presidents dishonest and
unwarranted" attack on him. Mr..
Truman'S half hour had been free
of cost. Senator McCarthy's was,
too.
Friends on the Boord
There is considerable doubt
whether, from a legal point of
view, the networks were obliged to
give him the time. But there was
speculation that they were aware
of the presence on the Federal
Communications Commission of
two close friends of the Senator
FEC controls issuance of periodic
public convenience and necessity
licenses for broadcasting stations.
AS it had been billed, the speech
started out to be an answer to the
=
Senator Mccarthy devoted hardly
more time to answering Mr. Tru-
man than Mr. Truman had given
to discussing the Senator and his
ism"
Before the amazing half hour
was over, Senator Mccarthy had
quite thoroughly covered the earth,
from the Signal Corps laboratory
in New Jersey to the SmugglerS'
coveS of the China coast. In this
brief period he had lambasted
virtually every one from the head
of the Communist Party, William
z. Foster, to the head of the Re-
publican Party, Dwight D. Eisen-
hover. And in the same short
space he had set himself up as the
No. / issue in the 1854 elections,
with homemade foreign policy
sharply at variance with that OF
the Eisenhower administration.
Tops il Its Gloss
To Students of the Mccarthy
forensic technique, the Tuesday
night address was excellent in
style and content. Its brilliance
(as Mccarthy masterpiece) lay
more in its implications than in
its facts; more in the heat it radi-
ated than in the light it shed.
But the speech departed from
the form and substance of the
usual Mccarthy political adven-
ture in containing what amounted
virtually to a declaration of war,
not against what the Senator calls
"the Democrat Party" but against
the Eisenhower-Dulles leadership
of the executive branch.
