How much time can we allow
for the discussion of an arm
istice in Korea, and for how
long can we permit ourselves
the luxury of interminable
peace negotiations. once the
armistice is signed, without
seriously endangering our mill
itary position? These ques-
tions are being seriously asked
by top American military men
and by policymakers who con-
slider President Eisenhower's
speech of last week as the
foundation Of our foreign
policy.
Even the few in this coun-
try who were willing to give
the Chinese Communists the
benefit of the doubt that they
would act in good faith, at
least in the present limited
exchange Of sick and wounded
prisoners, are now diSap-
pointed. From the available
statements by the handful Of
exchanged American POWs.
those who are in a really bad
shape have not been returned
to us.
While the liberation of the
100 Americans is real bless
ing, the behavior of the Chi
nese Communists has in
creased the suspicion that
they mean to continue their
propaganda campaign and are
not interested in peace-ex-
cept on their own terms.
This concept raises grave
doubts as to what their in
tentions may be in the event
of an armistice being signed
and peace negotiations started.
We had already fallen into
their trap in July. 1885,, when
the cease-fife' parleys started
and dragged on until the pres
ent time. The remaining hur-
die for the signature of an
armistice concerns the Chi
nese. and North Korean
POWs who do not want to
return to their communized
homeland. There seem to be
indications that some compro-
mise may be reached on this
point. But the other terms
already agreed to by the pre-
vious American negotiators,

was not very close to the White

Whatever the President A.
nally decides about housing
policy. it is doubtful that he
wants it made by the ak

czar. Representative Taber of
upstate New York. Mr.. Taber,
73 next month, has served 30
years in the House and has
rarely changed his mind about
anything since he entered it.
Members of Senate Appro-
priations are also poised for
similar operations in various
areas. From this group, for
example, has come the current
demand upon the White House
for appointment of an entirely
new Joint Chiefs of Staff to
resurvey military spending.
Where the President does
not lead these strong-minded
Appropriations Committees he
must necessarily follow them.

Northeast Liquor Store
Asks License Transfer

The Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board today has under con-
sideration a request for the
transfer of a package store
liquor license from 1896 Twelfth
street NE. to 5000 Twelfth street
NE.
Julius and Bernice RoSsen, the
proprietor, recently bought the
store across the street from their
present establishment and are
seeking to move to it.
Residents of the neighborhood
yesterday protested the move.
David Hornstein, attorney for
the Rossens. said people in the
neighborhood had never before
protested the store and the fact
that it was moving across the
street did not make it more of a
nuisance.
The board also heard the ap-
plication of Leo Kotz for a Ii
cense to sell light wines and
beer in his grocery store at 1400
c street Sc. He was denied the
application last January but was
granted another hearing, on the
plea of new evidence.
The board took both cases
under advisement.

Congress Expanding O perotions
Eisenhower Has Chosen to Mark Time Rather Than Lead
So He Will Have to Follow Strong Minded Legislators

President Eisenhower has
asked for time to get on top
of his new responsibilities and
has appointed a variety of
committees to advise him. Edi-
tors here last week from all
over the country report that
the people who put Mr.. Eisen-.
hover in the White House
want him to have that time.
The current snafus are
being blamed, it is said, on
subordinates who also are
being widely excused on the
ground of inexperience. Even
when the offending cabinet
officers are blamed, the Presi-
dent Is getting off scot free.
This is all according to pat
tern.
The President and the Vice
President are the only elected
national officers of the Gov
ernment. All the people choose
them and therefore have a
kind of vested interest in
their success. Barring a crisis
or catastrophe, Americans are
slow to turn on the President
and Vice President.
What is happening on Capt.
tol Hill, however, is also ac-
cording to pattern. Like ma
ture. Congress abhors a vac

Senator Bridges Is Smeored
But the Left-Wngers Remain Strangely Silent Now
About Correcting Injustice Done by GruneWoId

what steps were taken to put
Senator Bridges in the right
light before the country? Even
if Senator Bridges had recon-
mended Grunewald as an in
vestigator, why was that phase
emphasized and almost no
criticism visited upon John L.
Lewis for conducting the in
vestigation of a judge before
whom he and his union had a
case pending at that time?
For, certainly if it was wrong
to recommend an investigator,
it must have been even more
of an impropriety for the head
of a union to hire an investi-
gator to carry on an inquiry
about the life of a Judge on
the Federal bench while the
union had a case pending be-
fore that Judge. One has yet
to read in the "left wing
press a demand that this phase
of the episode be comprehen-
sively explained.
The Federal judge is dead.
The case is closed. and maybe
the congressional committee
now considers the whole thing
irrelevant, but not so the
"left wing" organs which are
out to get every United States
Senator who has shown him.
self hostile to Communists in
Government. Senator Bridges
is chairman of the Senate
Appropriations Committee and
an important man in the Re-
publican Party today. He has
steadfastly fought communis-
tic influences in Government.
The cleft wingers" also
have exposed their hypocrisy
in making innuendoes about
alleged irregularities in Sena-
tor McCarthy'S income-tax re-
turns. They know full we'll
that if there had been any,
thing on which he could have
been prosecuted, the Truman
administration would have filed
a case against him in court
long ago. This outcry about
injury" to innocent persons
all depends evidently on whose
OK is gored.

Lowell MeHett::
To Victor Belongs the Spoi|s
But What Is Happening in Washington Isn't What
Jackson Had in Mind in ReWordnq Foithfu!

It is not politics, in the ordi-
nary sense, that is RESPONSE
BILE for the numerous changes
being made among Govern
ment bureau chiefs by the
new administration. Nor is it
politics in the ordinary sense
that is responsible for the wide
spread protests some Of the
changes have aroused. 1t is not
a case of Democratic hacks be-
ing replaced by Republican
hacks or of the winning party
rewarding it's faithful workers,
either out of gratitude or as
one Of the accepted methods of
strengthening the party Or
ganization, If nothing more
were involved than considera-
tions of that kind the wailing
in Washington and beyond
would deserve nothing more
than a smile. After all, so far
as the jobs in question are
concerned, there would be lit
tie to choose between a Demo-
cratic hack and a Republican
hack.
That, however, is not the sort
of thing that is happening.
The bureaucrats being fired
have not distinguished them
selves as political workers. And
the same is true of the bureau
Gratis being hired. Few among
them, incoming or outgoing,
have ever carried a precinct
the standard test for congress
sional patronage - or even
pulled a doorbell or made po-
litical speech. 1t is doubtful If
some among them ever con-
tributed a dime to anybody's
campaign fund. Indeed, DR..
Allen Astin, over whose custer
from the United States Bureau
of Standards the greatest sense
of outrage has been evidenced,
has always been a Republican
as a voter. If not as a worker.
The jobs being summarily
vacated and refilled are gen.
orally regarded as wholly nom
political. The men being re-
moved are nearly all career
men who have come up
through the service. Who. that
is to say, have made career,
not of politics, but of public
service. Politics, Of course, Is

D0vid Lowrence:

This is the story Of a smear
of a United States Senator
which seems to have been
overlooked by the "left-wing-
ers" who are constantly crying
out that innocent persons are
victimized by congressional
committees. For here is a case
which the organs of the cleft
wing" have not seen fit to
handle fairly or to denounce or
even to inquire into in order to
get all the facts.
A few days ago the news
papers carried headlines say
ing Senator Bridges, Republic
can. of New Hampshire had
been linked" to an investiga-
ton of a Federal judge. The
statement was widely published
that Mr.. Bridges had recon-
mended to Lowell .Mayberry. a
Boston lawyer, that Henry
Grunewald be employed by
John L. Lewis and the miners
union to investigate the late
Judge Goldsborough. These
same dispatches contained
references to Mr.. Bridges as a
trustee of the United Mine
Workers pension fund and the
inference was plain that the
New Hampshire Senator was
an associate of Mr.. Lewis and
also a participant in the
process by which a Federal
judge, who had pending before
him a case involving the
United Mine Workers., was in
veStigated.
What are the facts?
First of all, Senator Bridges
has stated fatty that he did
not recommend Grunewald to
the mine workers attorney,
Mr.. Mayberry, and had no con-
nection at all with the investi-
cation of the Judge.
Second, the New Hampshire
Senator was not appointed a
trustee of the United Mine
Workers pension fund until
1948. The contempt case in
volving the miners union and
the inquiry into Judge Colds
borough's life had been dis
posed of two years before. Sem

all honorable career, but it
isn't the one they have chosen.
And the same, it seems, applies
to most of their successors.
Yet we are seeing, as clearly
as when Andrew Jackson
espoused the philosophy, ITO
the victor belongs the spoils."
The spoils, however. are not
the same. Jackson had in mind
merely the political jobs and
the salaries that went with
them, which victory enabled
him to pass out to deserving
Democrats. The spoils in the
present case are not actually
going to the men receiving Of
fee. Most of them doubtless
have been making more money
in private life than their new
jobs will bring them. The spoils
are going to that element in
American life which constantly
quarreled with the Roosevelt
and Truman administrations
as being hostile to business"
There is now to be no hos
tility to business. The Presi-
dent made it clear when he
named a cabinet characterized,
not quite accurately, as eight
millionaireS and a plumber.
Some members of this cabinet
seem to be making it still more
clear.
Secretary Weeks did so when
he dropped DR.. Astin for the
principal reason that his SCI
entific bureau had made a
report on a commercial prod
uct that was less than salts
factory to the manufacturer
of the product. Open to the
same Interpretation is his &C
ton in replacing a career man
as head of the Bureau of
Mines with a former official
OF the Anaconda Copper Co.

finally: there may be more to
come-there is the removal of
a career man as Assistant Sec
retary in charge Of admins

The Reds showed us how

even during the last war.
There are very strong suspi-
cions, especially among our
military in Korea, that the
enemy will protract the COM
plicated peace negotiations-if
they are actually started-for
as long a time as will be neces-
sary to make his military
position unassailable. He is
particularly expected to
strengthen the badly damaged
enemy defenses on the east
and west coasts of North
Korea. These have given the

phonier than those in Europe.
The recent cheap tricks of the

increase the suspicion that
they intend to prepare another
even more serious trap for us
than they did nearly two years
ago.

ator Bridges states that he had
only a nodding acquaintance
with Mr.. Lewis in 1916 when
the case was up before Judge
Goldsborough.
It would have been easy
enough to establish these facts

pontif1cate so frequently about
alleged injury to innocent per-

1t so happens that Mr.. May
berry himself has testified
under oath before the House

ment of Senator Bridges that
the Senator did not introduce
Grunewald to John L. Lewis.
Mr.. Mayberry testified he knew
Grunewald at least a year and
a half before the mine workers
case arose.
Mr.. Grunewald was we'll
known in labor circles as an
investigator. Not only had he
done work previously for some
AFL unions. but the attorney
for Mr.. Lewis knew of his work.

they ignore the pressures of
