equal risk with the draft

In the last war, with some Of

But Senator McCarthy's pro-
posal that every drafted man
even suspected of being a
Communist sympathizer should
be put into a concentration
camp, is a copy of Soviet
methods that don't even work
in the Soviet Union. The
camps would be political gath

who after two years, hardened
but not cured, would be turned

ton camps don't turn their

American Communists alone
will never subvert the United
States, unless or until there is a
universal paralysis of govern
ment, a widespread lack of
popular confidence in any and
all leadership. a general disgust
and/or political apathy, and
a real or imagined fear of
nearly everybody from the top
ranks down to utter an honest,
fortnight word.
Any one who can contribute
to accomplishing this is worth
more to the enemies of America
than the whole Communist
Party. Such a one is Sub.

foundry meaningful sense of
that word. His motives are ir.
relevant. The effect of his acts

member. Republican policy
makers now say they will offer
new rules for the conduct Of
committees. They seem. neither
very happy over the chance to
do so nor very optimistic that
Mccarthy will prove respon-
Sive.
The Senator's belligerence
lends color to Democratic
claims that in the fall cam
paign the Republicans will be
on the defensive about Nc
Carthy rather than putting
the Democrats on the defen-
sive about communism.
Offered also to support this
is the utter failure of the ad-
miniStration to make good on
its story of large numbers
several different numbers but
all large-of subversives fired
from the Government. Each
time testimony is taken on
this question, the answers
grow more confusing.
It appears here that Eisen-
hover Republicans are on the
defensive certainly: what is
not clear is whether the coun-
try generally has swung away
from those sentiments which
induced the Republican Ma
tional Committee to make
Mccarthy its featured Lincoln
Day speaker.

and none more so than the
President.
Responsible Senators quote
him as using the uncouth YER
nacular to express his con-
tempt. They have marvelled
at the fact that since he ap-
parently feels so strongly, he
can contain himself so well
when confronted with the issue
in public.
Their best guess is that he
has decided he ought to take
the advice of some one he
thinks shrewder than he is
politically. Their candidate for
that mentor Is Mai. Gen. Per-
sons. Now a presidential aide.
Gen. Persons guided Gen. Eli
senhower through the delicate
denomination days without
a fault, q feat which seems to
serve him well now.
It Is thought by these Sena-
tors that the President sin
cerely does not see Mccarthy
as posing a principle but only
as q political headache, vastly
annoying but affording. as
Comedian Bert Williams used

French Taking a Second Look
Optimism Engendered by Forthcoming Geneva PorIey
Apparently Is Fading Somewhat in Frances Press
Constantine Brown

Judging by the majority Of
the French press. the State
Department believes that the
optimism engendered by the
forthcoming Geneva confer
ence is beginning to fade.
In foreign affairs mat
tiers French newspapers, except
those that follow the Commu-
mist line, take their cue from
the Foreign Office. Thus 1t is
reasonable to conjecture that
the French government, after
the return Of Defense Secre-
tary Rene Pleven from Saigon
and Hanoi, is taking q second
look at the situation and Is
beginning to weigh the prob
lem from the global rather
than Frances immediate do
mestic point Of view.
According to the analysis
made by Secretary Of State
Dulles to congressional lead
ers, Indo- China ranks as equal
to Korea in Pacific defense i'm
portance and in the Western
struggle against communism.
Mr.. Dulles made this very
clear to Foreign Minister BIZ
dault at Berlin. Mr.. Bidault
repeatedly shared this APP
proach. But because of the in
ternal situation in France he
insisted that Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov's request for
q conference at Geneva be &C
cepted. Mr.. Dulles went along.
A refusal might have meant
the fall Of the French govern
ment with severe repercus-
sions in Europe.
The Laniel-Bidault admins
tration has been more cooper
alive than any other French
government since the end of
the war and Mr.. Dulles was
determined to prevent its de-
mise. Both French political
men are described as firm
believers in the European De-
Tense Community and in re-
sistance to further Red ex-
pansion.
Mr.. Bidault pointed out at
Berlin that unless the French
people can be shown the bad
faith Of the Communists in
regard to Indo- China as they
saw the Soviet bad faith at
the Berlin conference, the

on the Communist-in- Govern
ment issue, which he did. He
can do that again.
Administration ranks have
stiffened noticeably on Sena-
tor Mccarthy in the period
beginning with the Presidents
intervention and ending with
the Nixon solution, which Is a
safe one for hitherto timid
Senate leaders. Some Of the
latter who said nothing or
only mumbled evasively when
the President spoke out now
are talking up boldly, as if
they had heard for the first
time Of the tempest that be-
gan to rage q week ago. An
example in forthrightness was
given them by one who first
had spoken out long ago, Sen
ator Flanders, Republican, Of
Vermont. He delivered in the
Senate a devastating analysis
OF McCarthyism which got
much of its effect from its use
Of homely New England SINH
les.
Other influences are appar-
ent in the firmer attitude Of
the administration. One is
powerful newspapers which
support the President. They
have demanded a more posi-
tive stand. Another is big and
powerful business and indus
trial figures Of the enlight-
ened sort, Eisenhower sup
porters and campaign contrib
utors. They have become in
creasingly disturbed about
Senator Mccarthy, both AZ q
corroding force IN the Repub-
lican Party which they want to
see succeed, and In our demo-
cratic society which they do
not want to see undermined.

Thomas L. Stokes

One way to look at what
has happened most recently to
Senator Joe Mccarthy is that
he was the victim Of a double
play by President Eisenhower
and Adlai Stevenson, those
1852 rivals, that was COM
pletely implanted and without
collision.
A series Of events in which
the two were involved gave
Republican Party leaders a
clear chance to tag the Wis
consin Senator out, spoil
another of his attempted
grandstand plays and, instead,
send in. Vice President Nixon
to aplay the role Of official
spokesman to reply to Adlai
Steverison'S Miami speech.
The tactics developed in this
instance by Republican Party
leaders could very well be fol-
lowed henceforth to isolate
and outlaw the Senator.
The interesting chain Of
events started a week ago with
President Eisenhower's rebuke
of Senator Mccarthy at his
news conference. Mild, eau
tious and moderate as that
was, 1t was notice, as pointed
out at that time, that the
President was turning the
Mccarthy problem over to his
party leaders with full license
for them to handle it.
@. O. P. leaders still were
hesitant, still timid, still with
out a definite course.
Then came, fortuitouSly, the
1852 Democratic candidates
speech at the party's Miami
rally. Senator Mccarthy had
even taken the precaution to
be on the ground. Impulsively,
before Adlai Stevenson hardly
had finished an address that
was not kind to the Senator,
the latter demanded equal ra-
dio and TV time to reply. He
had walked into q trap set
unwittingly by Adlai Steven
son.
At least. 1t became q trap

New Traffic VioIator
Methods Get Nod

Chairman Wilson of the House
Appropriations subcommittee in
charge of the District budget bill
has expressed approval of the
city's new program to improve
the handling Of traffic violations.
He voiced this opinion after
hearing the system explained
yesterday by a group of city
officials. They included Schuyler
Lowe, director Of general adj
ministration; Police Chief Robert
V. Murray, Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp. Budget Of
ficer Walter Fowler and Chief

lican, Of Indiana. said the OFF,
Gals called at his Office to ex-
plain their plan and clear it
with the subcommittee. Mr..
Wilson pointed out no legisla-
ton is required to put the plan
in effect.
'It Is one Of the good things
to come out Of the reorganized
administration of the District
Government" he said.

this year. For the time being
the acceptance Of a training
mission has been deferred by
the French government be-
cause Of the sensitiveness Of
their own military. It is likely
that it will be delayed until
after the Geneva conference
where Indo- China's future will
be determined.
Our offers and endeavors to
keep the French in line are
not entirely altruistic. The
Joint Chiefs Of Staff, the Ma
tional Security Council and
the policy makers in the State
Department are in complete
agreement that fall Of that key
area Of Southeast Asia into
Communist hands would have
a greater effect on American
security in the Pacific than
even the loss Of Korea. It
would establish the domina-
ton of the Red flag not only
in Indo- China but in all the
neighboring countries rich in
raw materials and manpower.
The French campaign
against the Wet Mini has so
far been a failure because
they approached the problem
from the Colonial point Of
view. Until a couple of years
ago they made no effort to
include the nom Communist
natives as equal partners in
the struggle.
It seems that Messrs. Laniel
and Bidault are beginning to
understand that this is no
longer a fight to preserve
Frances investment in a ter
ritory which many still con.
slider a colony but that it is
part and parcel Of the battle
for survival of freedom. They
are beginning to realize that
the consequences of a Com
munist victory in Indo-China
will reverberate eventually in
Western Europe itself. Our Of
fer to stand by them with the
entire might of the United
States is prompted by the fact
that we see more clearly in the
situation-which for the time
being affects us more directly
than they do. These con-
siderations lead Mr.. Dulles to
believe that the Geneva con-
ference will not become IAN.

Former President Truman Is
right when he says, There
aren't an eyeful Of Communists
in the whole country" but he
never has looked that eyeful
squarely In the face.
For it took only an eyeful Of
Puerto Rican subversives from
the Nationalist Party to shoot
five members Of Congress last
week. The whole Nationalist
Party in Puerto Rico comprises
fewer than 500 persons out Of
the 2.5 million population.
It took only an eyeful Of
Communists this week to sneak
in and destroy Is American
planes at an airfleld poorly
protected by the French in
Indo-C China.
It took only an eyeful Of
Communists to steal atomic
secrets from the United States
and hand them over to Russia.
Klaus Fuchs. the spy, was only
one man out Of the many
thousands who worked for the
American Government at the
atomic project. but he did
enough damage to the Ameri-
can people to be recorded as
the most destructive traitor
in history.
It took only an eyeful of
Communists in the Department
of State, out of many thou
sands Of employees, to attempt
to sabotage American policy
and one out of that eyeful-
Alger HiSS-waS at Yalta at
the elbow Of the Secretary of

It took only an eyeful of

their agentS-Harry Dexter
White-to furnish documents
to the Communists and inf1u-

swer is that, because Of Com
munist influence in making
policy in the Far East under
the last administration. the
government Of Chang Kali
shek was undermined and
moral support withdrawn at
a critical moment. Thus were
400 million Chinese delivered
to bondage under the Commu-
nists. The records of the
Senate Internal Security Sub
committee are full of evidence
of the manner in which Amer
lean influence was disSipated
in the Far East through Com
munist infiltration and a pol

which had been consistently
advocated by Communist SYM
pathizers in the United States.
II China had not been sur
rendered to the Communists,
there would have been no Ko-
rean war and probably the
$500 American boys killed in
that war would be alive today.
That's the tragic connection
between the indifference of Of
fetal Washington to the Com

portance also Of alerting the
Government and the Nation to
the insidious influences still

today in trying to persuade
the State Department to adopt
q policy Of appeasement in
Indo- China.
It is agreed by the admins
tration's own spokesman that
the loss Of Indo-C China to the
Communists would be disas-
trous to the interests Of the
United States in the future.
Hence it is important to keep
an eye on the eyeful in the

China to Communist control

that destroyed the Chang Kali

Communists the upper hand
