McCorthy's Blast at President
1t IS Called 'Preposterous' That Eisenhower Should
Be Placed on Defensive BY Wisconsin Senator

Apparently Senator Nc
Carthy did not have a good
subversive story for the head
lines so he picked a target
that would surely evoke them.
Then he complained of illness
which would make it necessary
for him to take a vacation.
All this is standard operat-
ing procedure for Mccarthy
when he finds himself in a
tight place. The new aspect
of it is the frequency with
which he has to resort to it.
He has no other issue but
subversion. When he cannot
play that tune, he must be
silent. It is for him the we'll
known fate worse than death.
The White House is still
falling for the Mccarthy polit-
ical osmosis by which he pulls
himself up to the level of
the President. Instead of a
look who's talking attitude,
Press Secretary Hagerty was
told to cite the Eisenhower
record on communism. It
might be noted that Hagerty,
a smart newspaperman, at first
refused comment.
Evening star., 1954-12-08

For the President to be on
the defensive in the frame of
reference outlined by Senator
Mccarthy is preposterous. He
could study with profit the
Mccarthy political techniques.
The White House problem
today is not Mccarthy, but
the fact that the senior Re-
publicans in the Senate were
in that half of the present
G. o. P. majority which voted
against censuring him.
They include Senator
Knowland, who will be re-
elected leader next Janu-
ary; Senator Millikin, who will
again head the Republican
conference and Senator
Bridges, who wants to take
over the Policy Committee. The
decision of these men to side
with the Mccarthy hard core
is truly vital to the Re-
publican future.
1t is cruel problem for the
President because they have
the votes. Nor do the Eisen-
hover Republicans contain in
their ranks aggressive, jealous
men who refuse to be beaten

High-ranking State Depart
nient officials warned repre-
sentatives of our British allies
last week that this country
fully expects the United Ma
tions to take positive action to
liberate the American flyers
now held in Red Chinese jails.
Failure of the United Nations
to adopt all available coercive
means Tin plain language, to
use the blackjack, if necessary
would prove that this world
organization is nothing but an
old ladies' club and would lead
to its passing away even more
ingloriously than the League Of
Nations.
Our Western European part
ners in the Korean war were
reminded that the League Of
Nations committed hara-kiri
when it refused to take strong
action against Japan's inva-
sion Of Manchuria in 1882 and
Italy's invasion of Ethiopia in
1886. 1t allowed the dictators
to go on a rampage. Diplomacy
of words as adopted then even
tually led to World War II
which the leaders Of the West
ern democracies tried so des-
perately to avoid.
We pleaded with the major
members of the League to do
something positive to stop the
Japanese warlords in their
tracks. We also wanted West
ern Europe to oppose Musso-
lini with more than words and
the few half hearted and in
effective measures they were
prepared to join in.
We were then nowhere
nearly as we'll prepared for a
showdown as we are now and
isolationism-in its real mean
ing-was rampant in the
United States. But Europe's
reply was, in effect: "How can
you contemplate strong action
when it may lead to the de-
struction of the world by the
deSperadoes? We now live in
an era of air bombardmentS.

complete annihilation of the

Lack of seniority is not the
handicap of the likable Carl
son Of Kansas, Saltonstail of
Massachusetts, and Payne of
Maine. Up against men who
know exactly what they want,
the pro-Ike forces have SHOWN
little toughness.
If the Eisenhower cabinet,
all but one leaders in business
and industry, had more politi-
cal skill, they could perhaps
rally behind the President the
important men who furnish
the sineWs of war to the
G. O. P. If the campaign con-
tributors would put the heat
on the Senate and House, the
climate would alter.
President Eisenhower wants
to put the progressive label on
his party and his policies. The
word has been chosen de-
liberately by him and his sd-
visers. The election returns
last month indicate that it is a
wise choice and that he at
least lacks the suicide wish
that appears prominently in
some Republicans.

It requires constant compro-
mises between the factions

quires response to discipline.
The President, for all his being
a general--perhaps because of
its a poor party disciplinar-
ian. The radical split over
Senator Mccarthy might have
been avoided if the President,
properly, strongly. and quietly,
with the backing Of most Of,
the party, had warned the
Senator early enough, to pipe
down.
Even worse, perhaps, is the
party split on foreign policy.
Here the President and Sec
retary Of State have primary
responsibility under the Con-
stitution. But the Republican
leader, Senator Knowland, has
been publicly pursuing a for
eign policy in direct contradic-
tion to that of the Republican
President and Republican Sec
retary of State.
Under such conditions DEM
ocratic congressional gains
prove, in fact. an advantage
rather than a handicap to the
administrations foreign policy
and negate> the argument that
a Republican President needs
a Republican Congress to re-
alize his policies. A Republi-
can Senate following Senator
Knowland's line would wreck
those policies, and the Demo-
Gratis can truthfully say, IF

in the Senate which, though
enough to discredit almost any
one else, may be salvaged by
him as the foundation of a
martyrs pedestal.
The "break" with the Presi-
dent, sureflre publicity. is the
prelude to his new career. He
also followed the usual course
in picking out as the subject
OF his criticism of the Presi-
dent the most emotional epi-
sode OF the day. That is the
imprisonment of II of our
soldiers by Red China which
has stirred up our people as
it has disturbed the President
who, however, has chosen to
seek their release through the
United Nations in consort with
our allies in the Korean war.
Will Senator Mccarthy seek
to head a new party? Such a
question he brushes aside now
by saying he prefers to work
within the Republican Party.
Whatever his political aims
henceforth, he now has placed
himself within the orbit of the
President. or maybe it might
be better to say in the ring
with the President. In short.
he has become the Presidents
political problem. The Presi-
dents friends in the Senate
did all that lay within their
orbit when, with the help Of
Democrats, they achieved the

The friends of the Senator

was hitting a man when he

gave Gen. Eisenhower bad adj
vice in urging him to get into
the fight when only a few days
before the President had said
to the press the censure case
was a Senate problem.
If it were merely one Sem
ator or his bitter speeches, it
would be an ephemeral con-
troversy. But the issue of the
missing Korean war prisoners
is an old one and it has pro-
duced quite a following for
Senator Mccarthy. apart from
his crusade about Communists
in Government. He made it
the principal point in his tele-
vision speech in answer to for
mer President Truman just
after the Harry Dexter White
case was exposed in 1858. The
facts, of course, about the
missing airmen have been
known here for some time
without any action being taken
before the U. N. or elsewhere
until news about sentencing
the airmen as spies came out
a couple of weeks ago.
All this is a grave political
rebellion for the Eisenhower
administration to cope with
and it will not be overcome nor
will harmony be restored if the
President heeds the advice of
those who think he should be
carrying on a feud with Serf-
ator Knowland and others in
the party who happen to dis
agree with him on the best
ways of fighting Communist

This same theme song is
being heard once more from
the very same friends of ours
in connection with the new
aggressors. the Russian and
Chinese Communists.
Secretary Dulles had a
number of conversations in
New York last week end with
American and other repre-
sentatives at the U. N. He did
not mince words when he told
our Western European friends
that the falling of Americans
in uniform-more than the
diplomatic technicalities of a
breach of the Korean armi-
stice-may bring the temper Of
Americans to the boiling point.
Regardless of how much the
administration may wish to
play on the international
team, public opinion can be q
very compelling reason to
change policies. 1t would be
bad, he is reported to have
warned, if the American peo-
pie who have strongly sup
ported the U. N. in the past
were to be so disillusioned as
to back the politicians who are
urging our abandonment of
that organization.
It appears that the lucid
words of Mr.. Dulles and his
aides in Washington have
made more than a fleeting
impression. But, and this is

allies go all the way to compel
the Chinese to free our men?
Even Mr.. Dulles is somewhat
doubtful that this Will be the
case.

In the last analysis. any strong
steps,. If they are decided on,
must come from the United
Nations. And on this count
there is more skepticism than
optimism in Washington.
Such steps as charging China
with violations of the Korean
armistice: condemning her for
these violations; and calling
on U. N. Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold to use ,"un-
remitting efforts" to obtain the
release Of our men will be con.
sidered by the Communists as
mere Western nonsense.
The State Department knows
that the sentencing of the
Americans was a calculated
provocation. The State De-
partment also realizes that to
get them released the United
Nations must do more than
show polite indignation and
anger. The provocation is di-
rected specifically at America.
But automatically it affects
the entire bloc of nations
which fought Red aggression
in Korea. This bloc can. If 1t
wishes, adopt stringent meas
ures such as a blockade Of
China. The same means they

Eisenhower-McCorthy Rift
President Urged to Ignore Bad Advice if He Hopes
To End the Political Rebellion Within Own Porty
Dovid Lowrence

Something serious has hap
pened to the Republican Party
and President Eisenhower's
prestige as its leader-or else
the politicians wouldn't feel
so free to attack the man in
the White House. That's the
customary behavior of an OPP
position when the politicians
conclude that a Presidents
popularity is waning.
Senator Wayne Morse of
Oregon, who was elected as a
Republican four years ago, says
that in the 1852 campaign
Gen. Eisenhower "misrepre-
sented the facts time and
again" so now the Oregon Sen
ator will help the Democrats
take control Of the Senate in
~January.
Paul Butler, newly chosen
chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. says Gen.
Eisenhower is incapable Of
uniting the country and that
his military background makes
it impossible to come to grips
with the problems of the day
and make a competent Presi-
dent.
Senator Mccarthy of Wis
consin, who was elected in
1852 as a Republican, now
criticizes Gen. Eisenhower as
having deceived the people in
that presidential campaign.
Senator Mccarthy declares
that Gen. Eisenhower promised
to fight Communists in the
United States but now "con-
graduates the Senators who
hold up the work" of his COM
mittee which has been endeav-
oring to expose Communist
activity.

his committee work has been
frustrated for approximately
