nique. That makes the In
diana Senator slightly more
palatable to the administra-
ton.
That is, to everybody pos
sibly except the President
himself. who distinctly does
not care for Senator Jenner.
Yet the President had more to
do with Bill Jenner being back
in the Senate now than any
one else, not of his own voli-
ton or willingly. but because
the harried Senator of the last
campaign, who looked like a
goner for reelection, clutched
more desperately at the EiSen-
hover coattails than any one
else. Those of us who were
there that night can recall
vividly the scene at the rally
in Indianapolis when Senator
Jenner grabbed Gen. Eisen-
hower's arm and held it aloft,
now on one side of the stage,
now on the other, for the cam
eras. much to the disgust and
annoyance. of the Republican
presidential candidate at being
so used. He did not care at all
for this brother act by the
traducer of his one time COM
manding general and mentor,
George C. Marshall.
So Bill Jenner was swept
back to the Senate in the
Eisenhower landslide. And now
Attorney General Brownell has
given him the very push that
he needed to get him to the
center of the stage. It is anus
ing to the Senator to read in
the papers how the President
does not subscribe to making
communism the big campaign

President wants the job of

I return to this because of
the persistent rumor that Mr..
White was the real author of
the so-called ''Morgenthau
plan" for a defeated Germany.
Henry Morgenthau, jr., then
Secretary of the Treasury and
Mr.. Whites superior, took full
responsibility, even credit, for
the plan submitted in the
form of a top-Secret memoran-
dunn to President Roosevelt on
the eve of the Quebec con-
ference in 1914, over the head
of the Secretary of State,
Cordell Hull, and with his op-
position and that of War
Secretary Stimson, and, ac-
cording to Robert E. Sher-
wood, of Harry Hopkins as
we'll.
Yet, the plan was backed by
F. D. R. at Quebec, and from
it flowed a chain of unhappy
circumstances, one of which
was probably to prolong the
war.
Had it been put fully into
operation, there is not the
slightest doubt that the Soviet
Union would have accom-
plished by now every one of it's
objectives in Europe.
A photostatic copy of the
original memorandum ap-
peared in the preface to Mr..
Morgenthau's book, Ger
many Is Our Problem" pub
lished in October, 1945. Re-
reading it, one is compelled to
believe, either that it was the
work of a mind so deranged
by hatred as to be incapable
of humanity or reason-my
opinion at the time-or that
it was the result of calculated
policy by some one other than
Mr.. Morgenthau to have
America pull Stalin's chestnuts
out of the fire. Possibly, of
course, the former was ex-
plotted by the latter.
There is no space here to
detail the plan, general mem
ory of which has passed into
limbo. Germany was to be
permanently partitioned and
politically atomized; was to
furnish forced labor-ob-
viously, under our laws, not to
the United States, or Great
Britain, all industrial installa-
tions of any kind were to be
permanently removed from
Europe'S great coal basin. the
Ruhr, the area never again to
be an industrial center.
Most significant is the last
paragraph (Article 14.
THE primary responsibility
for the policing of Germany
and for its civil administration
should be assumed by the
military forces of Germany's
continental neighbors. Spe-
cifically, these should include
Russian, French, Polish, Czech,
Greek, Yugoslav, Norwegian,
Dutch and Belgian soldiers.
Under this program, United
States troops could be with
drawn in a relatively short
time"
Leaving the whole situation
to the Russiansl
Note that neither the United
States nor Great Britain
were to keep military forces in
Germany. Germany'S "conti-
mental neighbors" included
Greece, where c o m mmunist
partiSans were waging civil
war with bright prospects, and
which is far more remote from
Germany than is Britain; Po-
land, where a Communist
government was already set
up; Yugoslavia, then standing
with Moscow; Czechoslok kakia,

In the political fight pre-
cipitated over the case of
Harry Dexter White, no one
so far has revealed whether
Mr.. White ever exercised in

No one was surprised when Mon
