curry simultaneously published
an article by Matthews which
began:
"The largest single group
supporting the Communist ap-
paratus in the United States
is composed of Protestant
clergy"
The Democratic liberals as
signed to the Seven-man sub
committee, Senators Syming-
ton of Missouri and Jackson of
Washington, promptly pro-
tested the Matthews appoint
ment. They were pleasantly
surprised when they were
joined by their Democratic
colleague, Senator Mcclellan
of Arkansas, who had been
going all the way with Nc
Carthy, and by the freshman
Republican from Michigan,
Senator Potter. BY tacit con-
sent this majority entrusted its
leadership to Mcclellan.
In private subcommittee ses-
sions, Mccarthy backed Mat
thews, claimed the right to
dictate who should be staff
members. His reluctance to
part with Matthews is under
Standable. In his long career
as an anti-C Communist expert,
Matthews has compiled mas
ter list of people he regards
as undesirable Americans.
It's nature can be suggested
by the fact that he has said
he saw little difference be-
tween Socialists. and Commu-
nists-which is to put Norman
Thomas in bed with Joe Stain.
Such a list must be handled
with care to get the right
effects, because it is libelous
per Sc to call anyone a Com
munist. It may have been from
Matthews that Mccarthy
picked up his present favorite
phrase, Communist thinker"
Why Mccarthy, normally so
cunning. did not realize the
dynamite in the article can
only be laid to a swelled head.

We, however, will be obligated,
if and when we sign, by the
signature of Gen. Mark Clark,
U. s. Army and commander of
the United Nations Command.
'It Is my personal belief,
which I state on my respon-
sibility as a Senator of the
United States, that we have
now arrived at one of the great
turning points Of history"
When the truce negotiations
began on June 30, 1851, Gen.
Ridgway addressed the Red
representative as the "com-
mander in chief of the Com
munist forces in Korea"
When the reply came, it was
signed by the Commander of
the Chinese volunteer forces"
On July 4, 1851, this CORES
pondent wrote: Zone of the
reasons the American Gov
eminent has ordered Gen.
Ridgway to ask to see creden-
tials Of the opposing COM
manders is that an armistice
made with a group of 'volun-
teers' could be repudiated by
the Peiping regime any time in
the future. Unless the Com
munist authority in Peiping in
some way assumes respon-
sibility for what is being done
by Gen. Peng Teh-huai, there
can hardly be any agreement
that would assure the honor
ing of the armistice once
hostilities are stopped.
Any dealings with a COM
mander in the field do not in
any way involve political or
diplomatic recognition, so there
can be no excuse for failing to
require the Peiping regime to
sign the armistice. It is be-
lieved the American Govern
ment has been consulting with
its allies about the problem.

It is. of course, true that
politicians generally find the
members of the majority re-
ligion of this country less SEN
sitive to attack than religious
and racial minorities. Per-
haps Mccarthy, who is a Cath
olic, was taken unawares by
the Protestant reaction which
found expression in the sub
committee.
He sought to bluff it out
alone. The remaining two
members Of the subcommittee,
Senators Mundt of South Da-
kota and Dirksen of Illinois,
did not join with the COM
planning majority. but they
stood aloof.
The Mccarthy diversionary
attack, however, found the
Democrats united and Senator
Mcclellan fortified by an opin-
ion from parliamentary ex-
perts that Mccarthy had ex-
ceeded his powers. Before the
skirmish ended, the majority
had the promise that the sub
committee would meet the next
day on the Matthews matter.
They won their fight.
Senator Mcclellan is up next
year. Mccarthy cuts no ice in
his State, but the Methodists
and the Baptists do. Mcclellan
also faces a formidable pri-
mary opponent in former Gov.
McMath.
Until the Mcclellan inter-
vention, the Southern Demo-
Gratis had SHE'D away from
the Mccarthy problem, except
for the luckless Tydings of
Maryland. Their attitude has
been that he is the problem
of the Republicans and the
Northern liberals. It would ap-
pear that they do not feel
quite the same when he takes
on a staff director who, as The
Evening Star discovered, at
tackled churchmen as a tool of
capitalism when he was a left
ist and now attacks them as
supporters of communism.

York State for half a century.
Such development can be de-
scribed most accurately as
middle of the road" For it
lies exactly between the two
acknowledgement by pri-
vate utilities, and development
by the Federal Government.
The latter was favored by both
the Roosevelt and Truman ad-
ministrations and would be
authorized by identical bills
submitted to House and Senate
by Representative Roosevelt
and Senator Lehman, New
York Democrats.
Until the advent of the Eli
senhower administration, it
had been generally accepted
that the likely alternatives
were State or Federal Govern
ment development. But, as
we have observed, the private
utilities moved back here in
full force when Republicans
won the election and. among
other ways, revealed their re-
stored power again a few days
ago, when the House Public
Works Committee approved,

ment of Niagara by private
utilities. The bill, sponsored
jointly by Representatives Mil
Ter, Republican, Of New York

Mccarthy Takes q Tumble
Loses Control Of His Probers Because of Matthews
The Ex-Ade Who Cont Find q Permanent Roost

Senator Mccarthy has lost
control of his investigating
subcommittee. His lf-esteem
inflated by a Presidents earlier
reluctance to cross him and by
a Supine State Department, he
tried to bluff through a re-
liglous controversy.
In a brief but incandescent
Senate debate, it was made
clear that his subcommittee
colleagues found this one too
hot to handle.
Mccarthy himself provoked
the debate with a typical di-
verSionary attack by which he
hoped to drown the religious
coz troversy in fresh headlines.
Into it he flung his shock

in-law, Alger Hiss and SenSi-
tive agencies, Central Intel
ligence and the National Sc
curity Council.
AS usual he was confused
about his facts. Reporters also
ascertained that he has had
the Acheson Son-in-law in
reserve, so to speak, for about
three years, perhaps in antici-
patton of some such crisis.
What he can make of that
and he has gone far with
material which was often as
feeble-iS beside the point at
present. The news is that he is
taking his first beating and
that It IS on an issue which
will not easily be downed.
Senator Mccarthy had
strewdly avoided religious con-
troversy until he fell under the
spell Of j. B. Matthews, for
merly presiding genius of the
Dies committee and one of the
most plausible of the large
army of reformed leftiSts who
make a good living as experts
on the Communist menace.

Members of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee for
the most part feel that Rhee
is being threatened with a po-
Icing Of his troops by the
United Nations Command, es-
pecially If he doesn't sign the
armistice. The letter from
Gen. Mark Clark assuring the
Communists that the United
Nations would take over the
discipline Of the South Ko-
reanS has caused an unfavor-
able impression on Capitol Hill.
Yet no measures are being
taken to compel the Red Chi
neSe government to own up to
its part in the Korean war and
sign the armiStice.
Senator Knowland, acting
Republican leader, has issued.
with the knowledge but not
with the consent of the White
House, a statement in which
he says in part:
under the armiStice as ne
gotiated for the past two years,
the fiction was established and
maintained that the only Com
munist forces in Korea were
and are the Peoples Republic
Of Korea and the Chinese
Peoples volunteers. The Chi
nest Communist regime, which
has been declared the aggres-
sor by the United Nations and
which supplied most of the
armed forces. and with the
help of the Soviet Union sup
piled the planes, tanks, guns
and ammunition, has not been
a party to the negotiations,
but does not guarantee that
the armiStice will be repected
once it is entered into.

At his news conference last
Wednesday. President Eisen-
hover, who as a former SUI
preme commander of NATO
forces is well aware Of the i'm
portance Of a German army,
stated that such a force is just
as necessary as the unification
of Germany. He said pointedly
that no nation. except an ag-
gressor, should fear this dual
objective of the free world.
The EDO. he added. like the
NATO and the United Nations,
is part of a design for peace,
not for war.
These words are as strong
a warning as the President Of
the United States could give to
an allied country that some
thing should be done to end
the deadlock which has existed
for the last Is months, because
the French National Assembly
refuses to consider ratification
of the EDO pact. The excuses
furnished by the parliamentar-
ians are that France suspects
and fears q united and re-
armed Germany despite the
existence of the United Nations
and the positive American
guarantee.
But Mr.. Bidault will get his
strongest warning from Con-
gress. The conference between
the representatives of the Sen

The government of Red
China presided over by Mao
Tse-tung is not going to sign
the armistice in Korea. Yet
this same government was for
mally declared by resolution of
the United Nations in Febru-
ary. 1851, to be an aggreSsor.
The government Of Red
China whose capital is at Pei
ping is not to be responsible
for honoring the terms of the
armiStice in Korea, where
more than l million Commu-
mist Chinese troops are sta
toned.
So. if the armistice is
signed, the only parties le-
gally bound by the agreement
will be the United Nations and
the weak and inconsequential
puppet regime of the so-called
North Korean government.
President Syngman Rhee of
the Republic of Korea, whose
troops hold IS per cent Of the
fighting line, will probably not
sign the truce but will infor-
mally honor it's terms by order

This act underlines the

tries; the other half will be
made available only If and
when the EDO pact is ratified

1t is probable that there
will be some additional cuts

Thomas L. Stokes:

President Eisenhower thinks
Of himself as charting a mid
dle-of -the-road" course. Dur
ing the campaign he was in
siStent, too, that he would not
turn the clock back" as he
put it.
These aims, however, are
being checkmated here and
there, on this and that issue,
by Skillful Old Guard elements
in his party who know how to
get practical results of quite a
different sort, especially in
Congress through the legisla-
tive process.
Never was this more clearly
revealed than in a series of
incidents in connection with
the visit here the middle of
this week by Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, who had so large a part
in the nomination of Gen.
Eisenhower. These incidents
had to do with an issue in
which the New York Governor
is vitality interested.
This is the further develop
ment, on a large scale, of
hydroelectric power at Niagara
Falls, which is made possible
by the 1850 treaty between the
United States and Canada for
utilization Of the Niagara'S
waters. Estimated to cost be-
tween $500 million and $400
million, the project will have
an installed capacity Of about
1.3 million kilowattS and will
serve a large area.

man who was so influential in

had an opportunity at a news
conference prece ding the
Rules Committee action. But,
when asked about the Niagara
Falls development. he ambled
all around the subject rhe-
torically without ever taking a
definite stand, and finally con-
cluded that he would have to
wait until g. bill is passed by
Congress and is presented to
him for approval or disap-
proval.
Gov. Dewey exemplifies the
moderately progressive wing Of
the Republican Party with a
middle-of-the-road philosophy,
in fact is its recognized
leader; and he has practiced
this philosophy in his long
tenure as Governor with a
noteworthy record-and not
just preached it. He and others
in this wing of the party were
under the impression that they
had won the upper hand in

The psychological approach
to political problems requires
the capacity to put oneself in
the position and mind of the
people one hopes to influence.
Before one can persuade any
one to do anything, one must
be fairly aware of what he will
not do. Psychological warfare
the very term being psyche
logically maladroit, in a world
that hates warfare-is not a
job of breaking down sales re-
sistance, whether by painting q
bogey or holding out a bribe.
It is not a job for public re-
lations counsels, adept though
they may be at building up per-
Sonal careers or selling soap.

need an investigation not of
