Marrow Margin on U N. Rejection of India for Korea

to the fact that the West
ern Europeans consider the
U. S. S. r. as a past danger
and are surprised at the flirta-
ton which has been engaged
in between the Kremlin and
Western European capitals.
We have carried the torch
of freedom of all peoples who
want to be or remain free and
helped automatically India,
Burma and Indonesia to break
their colonial ties with Britain
and Holland. This should have
assured us of the friendship
of most if not all ASiatic coun-
tries. But when the question
Of Britain's insistence on keep
ing a veStige of her power on
the Suez Canal in Egypt arose
we maintained a friendly neu-
trail attitude toward London.
The last and probably the
most costly blunder committed
by us was in connection with
the request of the Arab bloc
to present the question of
Morocco to the United Nations.
Nobody in the administration
has the slightest doubt that
the French were high handed
in Morocco. Yet we sided with
the colonial powers in op-
posing the Arab resolution. We
paid this heavy price to in
duce France to abstain in the
voting regarding India. But it
consolidated the Asian Arab
bloc, with the exception of
Pakistan, against us. Even
Turkey. our staunchest ally in
the Middle East, felt duty
bound to abstain in that i'm
portant vote.
1t is not the action of in
dividuals who have caused
the alarming drop in Amer
ica'S prestige in the world,
but mistakes and poor long
range judgments.

report our findings when we get
them"
When Senator Mccarthy made
the charge July 13 he refused
to name any individuals. He
said some employees of the State
Department during the Truman
administration had obtained
$150.00O from a friendly govern
ment for rendering a legal serv-
ice to which he said that gov
ernment was entitled without
paying any bribes."
Mr.. BroWnell also said, in re-
sponse to a question, that the
Justice Department is still max
ing a study of Senator McCar-
thy's finances, has nothing to
report on it now, but when the
study is complete, a public an
nouncement will be made"
Recommended by Committee.
Such a study was recommend
ed by a Senate committee last
year.
The question came up when
Mr.. Brownell was asked for COM
ment on an interview in which
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover
was quoted as saying he regard
ed Senator Mccarthy as earnest
and honest"
The Attorney General said he
had "full confidence and ad-
miration for Mr.. Hoover" and
saw no connection between Mr..
Hoover's statement and the Nc
Carthy investigation.
II have such confidence in J.
Edgar Hoover that would like
to stress 1t on all occasions" Mr..
Brownell said.
The subject came up when a re-
porter asked if Mr.. Brownell con-
sidered it appropriate for a
Department of Justice official to
evaluate the character of a man
under investigation" The De-
partment is studying a report
of an Eighty-Second Congress
subcommittee headed by Senator
Hennings, Democrat of Missouri,
which was critical of Senator
Mccarthy.

Like he told the papers yes
terday, he and Ike are friends.
Very close friends, he said"
Il suppose Representative
Glare Hoffman of Michigan
would say the same thing.
Scott listed him as one of the
Republicans he called noisy
obStructionists.'"
"Oh. Hoffman's a good Re-
publican. He's just against
Dewey Republicans and New
Deal Republicans, he says"
Think any good will come
from what Ives and Scott are
saying?"
Il doubt it. They are going
about it the wrong way. They'll
ALLEVIATE fellows like Reed,
Hoffman and the others they
mentioned, Noah Mason and
Senator Malone. Senator Hen
erickson of New Jersey has
the right idea. He treats these
fellows Sympathetically. Ex-
plains that some Republicans
are still living in the past ages
and don't realize that the
world has moved on and new
ideas are needed. That ought
to make them feel good and
inclined to go along with Ike"
What about your letter to
Adlai?"
"I'll just send him a post
card, with a picture of the
White House. And I'll say,
Having a fine time. Wish you

'McC earthly Charges Too Late
For Action, BrowneN Holds

Attorney General Brownell
says it is too late to prosecute
any one on a charge by Senator
Mccarthy, Republican, of Wis
consin that some employees of
the State Department improper
ly got $150,000 out of a friendly
government.
The Attorney General told a
news conference yesterday that,
without going into the merits
OF the charge, the Justice De-
partment determined any fed
eral action was barred. The
statute of limitations requires
that a formal charge in such
cases be made within three years
and Mr.. Brownell said the date
given the department for the
alleged offense was 1947.
Mr.. Brownell said the matter
was turned over to the State De-
partment "for any administra-
tive action indicated" He said
he was not sure whether any
individuals were specifically
identified" and therefore did not
know whether any one involved
was still employed by the Gov
eminent.

at present automatically and
whenever we want to check
mate the most thinly yelled
Kremlin conspiracies we find
ourselves in q painful minority
at diplomatic tables.
What has caused this un-
believable drop in Americas
prestige in Europe and on other
continents?
Explanations are not lack
ing. If we are to listen to the
utterances of Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, Adlai Stevenson and
a number of professional
chroniclers who have returned
from foreign lands, the funda-
mental cause of our loss of
prestige is Senator Mccarthy
and "McCarthyism."
This judgment must be ac-
cepted with more than a grain
of salt. There are many politi-
cal figures overseas who think
along the same lines as those
American globe trotters who
have been the foremost of
McCarthy's critics and blast
all congressional investiga-
tions, which they glibly de-
scribe as "witchhunting." They
reported the feeling of their
kindred souls abroad.
But by and large the
average individual abroad is
concerned with his own busi-
ness and cares little about
what one man or group of
individuals is doing in Amer
ica.
The reason for our political
predicament is to be found in
our own uncertain policies and
diplomatic blunderS.
We fail to recognize that
Western Europe's concern,
short-sighted as it may be, is
concentrated on the possibility
of trade with the U. S. S. r.

by shS Asseeiutsd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2s.-

Communist leaders in a remote
mountain cabin.
| The two Robert George
Thompson, 38, and Sidney Stein
berg, 38-f1ed New York in the

Other press conference high
lights included:
/. The department is under
taking a thorough study of the
Fifth Amendment as it is used
by witnesses seeking to avoid

against school segregation when
it comes before the Supreme
Court this fall.

Constantine Brown

The prestige of the United
States is today at the lowest
ebb in the contemporary his
tory of our international rela-
tions. The narrow margin by
which India was denied a seat
at the forthcoming Korean
peace negotiations demon
strates this.
To the average American
who for more than a decade
has been digging in his pocket
to help the free world, the
United Nations vote must have
come as a painful surprise.
Why this animosity toward us?
Are our concepts so wrong now
that Britain, for instance,
whom we have helped some
times beyond our means, has
become strong advocate of a
Pacific settlement in accord
with the Communist pattern?
It is hard to believe that
our allies. with centurieS-long
experience in international
struggles, can fail to under
stand that the Kremlin's aim
is to divide and conquer, and
that its first goal in its drive
for world hegemony is the re-
duction of the United States.
The European governments
must be aware that Lenin'S
Soviet doctrine that the road
to Paris is by way of Peiping,
stands more strongly today
than in the past.
We are still providing bill
lions of dollars worth of as
Sistance to our allies. The
taxpayer is being told that
these billions are actually
spent on the defense of the
United States. This may be
true If the MuscoviteS wanted
to strike militarily at Western
Europe. But this no longer
appears to be the case. The
Kremlin is striking at America
