in his speech. telling the boys
about courage, he spoke of
losing ones temper, saying,
which you must never do de-
liberately." That is, one radio
monitor recorded it that way.
Another monitor. however, un-
e derstood him to say. which
you must never do except de-
liberately."
It would be nice to. know
which he really said and which
he really meant. For it is OBJ
vious that the President was
angry about the ok-burning
that Mccarthy has been en-
gagged in through coercion of
the State Department; obvious
that it had caused him to lose
his temper. The only question
is whether he lost it spontane-
ously, as the full frightfulness
of McCarthyism occurred to
him, standing there in an
American temple of learning,
or whether he had been think
ing about it a long time and
had deliberately determined to
get mad and say what he
thought.
The latter theory would be
more reassuring for the fu-
ture. It would encourage the
hope that the President is
prepared to get mad about
some other things.
Some encouragement for this
hope can be found in the
speech the President made
that same day at Oyster Bay,
dedicating the home of Theo-

statutes Of Congress condemn
any party which has for its
object the overthrow Of the
Government of the United
States by violence. In the trial
of the II Communists con-
victed before Judge Medina's
court. the Communists argued
that they were being perse-
cuted for political beliefs. but
the Department of Justice con-
tended and the jury and higher
courts agreed that the activ-
tiles Of the Communist Party
constitute a conspiracy which
goes beyond the political. Ger
tainly no Democrat or Republi-
can is ashamed to reveal his
membership in his political
party.
There has been "book-burn-
ing" in America in recent
months, but mostly it has been
in various States or cities
where the public has demanded
that the laws against obscenity
be enforced against pocket edi-
tions of immoral content. The
Catholic Church and other
church organizations have been
calling for that kind of CEN
sorship. which the President
in his above-quoted remarks
evidently approves. There have
been several instances, too,
where communities, responding
to demands from local groups.
have sought to bar from Ii
braries books that merely tell
what communism is. This
movement originated long be-
fore Senator Mccarthy started
his anti Communist crusade.
So it is puzzling to read that
Gen. Eisenhower Is supposed
to be rebuking the Wisconsin
Senator for expressing a view
about books abroad that has
been adopted by his own de-
partMent. The truth Is that
Gen. Eisenhower was referring
to intolerance inside the United
States, and he might have
added that his broad plea for
tolerance covers also the views
of Senator Mccarthy which so
many people would like to sup,
press just because they don't
like his speeches. One doesn't
have to agree with or be an
admirer of Senator Mccarthy
to insist that he, too. has the
right to present statements on
public questions, however un-
popular they may seem to his
critics.

fighting is going on. But
months of inactivity and mere
routine in a desolate country
like Korea will break their
morale and a cry will come
from America to bring the
boys back.
The Reds are past masters
at delaying negotiations. They
have managed to discuss ar
mistice terms-a strictly mill
tary matter which throughout
history have never lasted more
than a few days - for two
years. Ostensibly the armi-
stice pourparlers we're carried
on only with American and
ROK officers who acted for the
U. N. How long the Reds can
temporize peace negotiations
at which there will be a U. N.
full house" nobody can an
ticipate except the Chinese
Communists themselves.
We can surmise that the
" negotiations will last until all
American ground forces are
withdrawn from Korea and re-
turned to the homeland 1000
miles across the Pacific. In
order to achieve this objective
the Chinese may agree to
withdraw their own contin-
gents across the Yalu River
"a few hundred miles from
the 38th Parallel.
From the strategic positions
conquered since last week the
Reds could easily pounce on
the South Koreans. The Chi
neSe Communists are fully
convinced that the move to
punish aggression" ordered
by the American Government
and adhered to by 16 U. N.
members, cannot be repeated.
1t may take them more than
one bite to destroy the 16
ROK divisions, but the Reds
feel that this can be done
without the risk of another
American intervention.
This country is opposed to
any idea of going it alone in
the Far East and the Soviet
peace offensive is expected to
be sufficiently far advanced by
next fall or winter to prevent
any possibility of this country
finding u. N. allies for another
move to save South Korea.

An Administrations backed bill to

Britain Grants independence To Sudanese

from the Suez Canal and Nile Valley.
Much of the Western world is greatly
heartened over the agreement reached be-
tween Britain and Egypt. Heartened because
it realizes that this one troubled spot re-
moved in the Middle East, Egypt can con-
cievably be induced to become valuable
ally.
The Suez Canal is the gateway to the
Middle East and adjoining regions. Hence,
its utmost Importance to the Western world
which must constantly strengthen it's de-
Tense positions along it's far-flung defense
perimeter.
Commenting on the signing of the treaty
Britain's Foreign Minister, Anthony Eden,
termed the agreement as reasonable" He
said this agreement has settled a question
that has long plagued Britain's relations
with Egypt.
While the treaty grants the Sudanese
the right to determine their own political
future, it does not specifically provide for
an immediate evacuation of British troops
from the Suez Canal or the Nile Valley
1t does, however, provide that such an ar
rangement be worked out later between the
two countries. This feature of the pact is
especially hailed by the Western world
Because the West realizes that any immedi-
ate withdrawal of British troops from the
Suez Canal and the Nile Valley would be
leaving the door wide open to invasion by
Red Russia of the vast Middle Eastern
world.

1t is my understanding that the position
of the u S. Attorney for the Western Dis
trict of Virginia will be filled upon the re-

=, authorities,
1t is further my understanding that both
positions will not be filled from the same

that the Sixth District is entitled to one po-
sition or the other, and shall fight for nv
conviction
Several applicants for both positions
living within the Sixth District, have re-
quested me to endorse them. Since both po-
sitions cannot be filled from the Sixth Dis
trict my endorsement of one Sixth District
applicant for one position might prejudice
the chances of all Sixth District applicants
for the other position, for that reason, as
long as there are applicants from the Sixth
District for both positions, have decided
in fairness to everyone to refrain from en-
dorsing any applicant for either position,
Everyone in the Sixth District who has APP
piled for either position is eminently quail
fled to serve
1t is my suggestion that all Sixth Dis
trict candidates for both positions met to-
gether and unite behind one candidate for
one position, in which event pledge nv
wholehearted support to the choice, to which
ever position he aspires

World history was made last week when
Britain and Egypt signed treaty, which,
among other things, permits the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan to determine it's own poll
tical future.
This million-square mile area through
which flows the Nile, is populated by 5000,
600 Arabs and Negroes. 1t is rich agricul-
tural land which produces an abundance of
cotton that ranks high among the worlds
finest
Like a few other British protectorates
in Africa, the Sudan has been bone of con-
tention between Britain and Egypt for the
past half century. However, the dispute has
been intensified during the past year since
General Naguib, Egypt's Strong Man, sliced
control of the government following his
ousting of King Farouk.
According to the terms of the treaty, the
Sudanese are now free to set up their own
government, join Egypt, or join the British
Commonwealth of Nations during the next
three years.
The Sudanese have already started plan
ming for early elections which will be super
vised by an Indian, Briton, an Ameri-
can and two Sudanese.
Signing of the agreement between the
two countries came about within less than
two months after Egypts Prime Minister
General Naguib, demanded via press, radio
and TV, while addressing the Egyptian
people, that Britain withdraw her troops
