Ex-EnVoy Doubts
ThaiIand Revolt
gy the Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ca, Aug. 29.-
Hugh G.. Grant, former United
States minister to Thailand. said
today the alleged smashing of a
revolt against the government
of Thailand is another example
"of the clever and intriguing
methods" of the Thai military
clique headed by Prime Minister
Pibul Songgram.
"The so-called revolts in Bang
kok come with amazing regular
ity," Mr.. Grant declared in a
statement. "ThiS time the revolt
conceded with the arrival in
Bangkok of our American Am
bassador, Gen. Bill Donovan. It
was probably staged to impress
Ambassador Donovan with the
false idea that the Thai military
leaders are against the Commu-
nists, but need more and more
American dollars to wage the
battle.
Mr.. Grant said that Songgram
was Prime Minister when he was
serving as American minister,
that 'he (Songgram) pretended
to be the friend of America, tried
to extract big loans from WASH
ington and then when the jap
anese struck Pearl Harbor, went
right over on the Jap side and
declared war against us.
Meanwhile, the United States
is sending millions of dollars
worth of military equipment, as
well as economic aid, to Thai
land. 1 predict that most of it,
if not all of it, will go right down
the drain and a lot of it into the
hands of the Communists, if the
latter move into Thailand."

FRENCH LICK SPRINGS,
Ind, Aug. 29.-"Reactionary Re-
publicans are out to scuttle our
prosperity" Senator Johnston,
Democrat, of South Carolina
said tonight.
Appearing before the Indiana
Democratic Editorial Association,
Senator Johnston said in a pre-
pared speech that the country,
and the Republicans particularly.
must guard against the G. o. P.
reactionaries who would turn the
economic gains of this country
over to a privileged few.
He added, Fortunately, in in
ternational relations President
Eisenhower has seen and accept
ed the wisdom of the general
course of our Democratic admin
iStration."
Senator Johnston said the
present administration must
steer not only this Nation, but
the entire free world, between
the many dangers that could
spell World War III.
Cites Confusion.
But. he said, there is lack of
firm leadership in Washington
now. THE confusion and inde-
ciSion in Government" he said,
is causing much concern"
Senator Johnston a d d e d,
nothing emphasizes this con-
fusion and indeciSion so much as
the fact that the party that
campaigned vigorously for lower
taxes and a balanced budget has
not yet accomplished either.
But there is another contrast
equally as serious as the con-
trast in leadership of the Eisen-
hover administration and those
of Franklin D. Roosevelt. 1t is

one that bodies evil for the Amer
ican people. That contrast is a
contrast in policies destined to
produce growing hardships for
the American people and to de-
plete our Nations resources and
wealth.
while the Democratic ad-
ministration girded it's strength
to develop our resources for the
benefit of all, this new admin
benefit only the few.
Sees Effort To Cash In.
Already there are proposals
before Congress which would, in
effect, give away grazing rights
on the public domain; the Pres
ident recommended the sale of
our vital synthetic rubber plants
to private industry and the Re-
publicans granted this request;
Herbert Hoover has proposed
that Federal power projects be
sold to the power interests: and,
most important of all, there is
the rising clamor among Repub-
licanS to dump in industry's un-
willing lap the tremendous in
dustrial value of atomic energy.
There is only one conclusion:
well-heeled G. o. P. hackers
want to cash in on their cam
paign contributions"
Senator Johnston said the
farm program remains up in
the air. He said the Republicans
have deliberately set out to make
money scarce, to revert to the
old Republican policy of hard
credit terms and high interest
rates.
He said the Republicans are
attacking these programs built
by the Democrats: the warm
