Chicago failed miserably in the
last election, and for the same
reasons that such big city or

striking exception of Philadel-

had many State organizations

Philadelphia offers a sug-

In Europe, the hard core of
the Western defense is the
American Army consisting of
six combat divisions. The
forces of the other Western
allies do not exceed IA combat

1t is hoped that by the end
of 1858 the allied air forces
will be 1000 strong, including
a large number of modern Jets.
But for the time being this
force is nowhere near that
goal. AS a matter of fact we
don't even have the necessary

Report on the Democrats Afie|d
Philadelphia Has Vrie, Fresh and Young Organization
From Which Other State and City Groups Might Learn

Since Adlai Stevenson got
some a million votes for Pres
ident, though not enough, it
seems that a report is In order
every so often on what goes
with the Democratic Party,
even If Republicans now are
getting most of the attention
and most Of the headlines,
which Is as 1t should be.
In Congress, where the rec

Gratis have put together a CO.

on a couple of broad issues
that have arisen this early,
they have challenged the party
In power successfully, as you
have been reading in your
newspapers.
But what Of the party out in
the country among the folks
where elections eventually must
always be won?
Well, that brings up Col.
Jacob M. Arvey, Illinois Ma
tional Committeeman and
Democratic boss of Chicago
and Cook County, and an OBJ
servation he made here recent

obvious. He said the party

are ready for personal reasons
for conservatism. When he ar
rived here and there, Mr..
Mitchell found that these old
wheelhorSes had been shunted
aside in some cases. relegated
to the back row in others.
and this the chairman found
most encouraging.
Upon the newer element he
sees a good foundation on
which to rebuild-first, an or
ganization; second, a solid
basis in issues which are what
finally count in politics; and,
third, to get energetic and de-
voted men and women as cam
didates for ofhce-from the
local level up through the
State to Congress-who be-
lieve in progressive govern
ment and will fight for it.
He found a lively interest in
issues. particularly in natural
resources and their orderly
development. That is very i'm
portant to the expanding
economy of the areas he
visited. Democrats were alive
to the present threat to the
proper utilization Of resources
in some of the policies being
projected here in Washington,
some by the Eisenhower adj
miniStration, such as restric-
tions on public power and rec
lamation, and the return of
offshore oil lands to coastal
States. They have become
alarmed how the latter is be-
ing seized upon in Congress to
promote another dangerous
step that would disrupt orderly
development of natural re-
sources. which is the return Of
all public lands to the States.
That would open the way for
exploitation by selfish and
rapacious private interests
without concern for conserva-
tion in the general public in
tereSt.
On all these and other issues,
Democrats in the West have a
handbook handy in Adlai
Stevenson's campaign speeches
which they are finding just as
fresh as when delivered and
daily becoming more appli-
cable, q heritage of much
greater value than some fore
saw. For, among other things,
they are turning out to be most
prophetic.
They expect the 1852 candi-
date to demonstrate that,
chapter and verse, when he
returns from his trip around
the world.

lack of adequately situated air
bases.
The Importance Of Spain is
no longer minimized. That
country in Southwestern Eu-
rope is ideally situated to
offer us a second line Of de-
fense. The range of high
mountains which separates the
Iberian peninsula from the
rest of Europe cannot be
crossed with ease by enemy
troops, particularly when they
are quite a distance from their
supply bases. Our unques-
toned mastery of the seas
would enable us to shuttle
troop and supply ships back
and forth across the Atlantic.
Fighter and bomber planes,
which this country could start
producing by the thousands in
the event of a war, could find
an ideal home on that penin-
Sula.
Moreover. Spain has today
more than Is divisions In
active service. These are ex-
cellent potential soldiers but
they lack the modern sinews
of war, According to military
experts, it will not take more
than six months to make these
Spanish divisions into first
class combat forces.
Wrong theological concepts
have interfered in the past
with building of this essential
second line of Western de-
fense. Britain and France
gladly embraced the neo-Com-
munist dictator Tito but
blindly opposed any help to
the strongly Communist
Franco. The hot breath of Ma
lenkov is giving them cause
for thought. Insofar as WASH
ington is concerned, there is
no doubt any longer that the
pact with Madrid will be
signed in the very near future.

the following year. That was
May. In June, the Communists
struck in Korea"
It was Mr.. Truman's own
announcement about the pros
poets of peace and it was Mr..
Trum a ms recommendation
that less money be spent for
defense. Gen. Eisenhower was
called in at the time to give
window dressing to the budget,
but all he could do was to ex-
anime the items-not to pass
judgment on the overall
money limitation already fixed
by President Truman and the
Budget Bureau.
But there is even more sig
nificance in the other parts of
the speech of Senator Syming-
ton when he says:
For a long time, both be-
fore and after the start of
the Korean war, we followed
the advice of those Pentagon
people who glibly explained
to the National Security Coun-
Gil why America could not
afford rearmament.
Certain fiscal leaders, who
should have been talking about
fiscal affairs, suddenly became
military experts, and ad-
vanced the cause of one type
of jet engine over another"
Who were these "Pentagon
people" and who were these
fiscal experts? The country
has a right to know. And why,
and upon whose advice, did
President Truman refuse early
in 1850 to allow the spending
of $500 million which both
Houses of Congress had ap-
propriated for additional air
power? This correspondent
was almost alone at that time
in criticizing the Presidents
action. Mr.. Symington and the
Air Force had to remain si-
lent.
AS for the Fiscal experts"
the American people don't
know that the military men
whose lives are spent in study
ing weapons and strategy were
forced to take a backSeat when
Mr.. Truman'S director of the
budget entered the picture and
said in effect what weapons
should be bought. This was
true in the Roosevelt admin
istration, too. Gen. Macarthur
in the Philippines, before the
japanese attack in 1941, was
clamoring for bomber and
fighter planes, and so were
Admiral Kimmel and Gen.
Short before Pearl Harbor.
But the Budget Bureau had
never approved the sums
needed for such a build-up.

years would be revealing, in
deed.
Certain scientists" con-
tinues Senator Symington,
"who should have stuck to
science desired to enter pol
itics, so they wrote vague, mis-
leading books on military STRAIT
egy and became so-called ex-
perts on the organization Of
the Department Of Defense"
Did the Senator have in
mind DR.. Vannevar Bush, SCI
enlist, whose book discussing
future strategy said piloted
airplanes and naval carriers
would soon be outmoded and
who, also, made several
speeches recently in criticism
of the organizational setup of
the Joint Chiefs Of Staff and
the Defense Department?
The Missouri Senator asks a
series of penetrating questions
among them: "Why don't
we use the atomic bomb on
military targets in North
Korea?"
Lots Of people have asked
that same question, but only
evaSive answers are given by
military commanders who say
that's a decision to be made
at other levels" It seems mill
tary men don't fight the wars
today or call the signals
that's the function Of the dip
lomatS.
Now comes Gen. Van Fleet
to declare, as Senator SYM
ington phrases it, that "every
month during the 20 months
he had been in Korea, there
had been serious shortage
of ammunition which at times
became critical"
Senator Symington with
characteristic candor and
courage finally sums up the
situation thus: Rather than
coming up with the truth to
the people, we follow the tragic
steps Of certain World War II
allies by again attempting to
purchase a nervous neutrality"
When will Congress author
ize real investigation of what
has been going on in the
Pentagon, Of what has been
going on In the Budget Bu-
reau, and what has been go
ing on in the State Depart
ment since 1945. and give the
American people the facts
which have thus far been sup
pressed but which are known
to the Communists and have
already given them the
greatest aid and comfort? A
Democrat now has challenged
the entire Republican Party to
show some courage and in
vestigate the truth and point

belongs.

the political brain Of the con-
vention battle. and his deputy
attorney general. William P.
Rogers. have seized the occa-
sion Of a legislative correspon-
dents dinner to spend the
week end in Albany with Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey. Mr.. Dewey
has never. made any secret of
the fact that in his opinion his
party could do with certain
modernization and renovation.
There are various reasons
for the Presidents current
weakness as a political leader.
An important one is his own
modesty. He realizes he is q
newcomer and he is genuinely
anxious not to appear to throw
his weight around.
Another is his touching, al
most naive confidence in the
willingness of people to swal-
low their own views and work
together. This probably re-
fleets the Presidents expert
ence when everybody got be-
hind the military to win the
war. Politicians think their
own roads toward peace and
prosperity are best and they
yield with difficulty.
The current difficulties Of
the new Republican national
chairman. Wesley Roberts. now
defending himself in Kansas
as a 10 per center, have con-
tributed to the administra-
tion's failure to establish a
strong political line. Mr..
Brownell has found himself
over-burdened at the Justice
Department and there are few

Eisenhower Logs on Third Role
successful Presidents Have to Take Time for Politics
And Boldly Lead Their Party With q Firm Grasp

Dwight D. Eisenhower in ad-
dition to being President of
the United States and COM
mander in chief of its armed
forces is, under the Ameri-
can system, head of his politi-
cal party. The American sys-
tenn also works in such a way
that what he does in the third
capacity has a profound effect
upon, indeed may often die
tate, what he is able to &C
complish in the other two.
There Is mounting evidence
that Mr.. Eisenhower is pulling
back from his third role and
1t is a source of concern to his
warmest supporters.
Nobody could complain about
how earnestly the President is
working, except possibly to
suggest that he needs more
relaxation. His Office callers
wryly attest that he is at his
desk at 8 am. Mrs. Eisenhower
is authority for the statement
that he has been going to bed
at $3.50 pm.
Actually it might be adj
vantageous If he were less
Spartan and encouraged
friends to drop in evenings
with the current crop of wise
cracks and the revealing little
anecdotes from Capitol Hill
and the departments which
tell much more than formal
reports about how he and his
team are doing here. It may be
possible to run the military
strictly through channels; in
politics. nothing can long be
successful without a thorough
grasp Of the human equation.

employee. You will be treated
with more courtesy and personal
interest than you might expect
stores to give when as many as
one-third of their employees are
new. Regular employees will
helpfully point out short cuts.
Such matters as rest periods
when you can leave the floor are
automatic; and it is even possible
in slack moments to squeeze in a
little Christmas shopping of your
own.
Of course, working in a store
during the Christmas rush means
you will be earning your pay at
the peak hours of business; and
you may have your plans spoiled
suddenly when the hours you
were scheduled to work are
changed or you are asked to
work overtime.
