Our System Depends
On Mutual Confidence

This system of ours is wholly
dependent upon a mutual con-
f1dence IN the loyalty, the pa
triotism. the integrity of pur-
pose of both parties. Extrem-
ism produces extremism, lies
beget lies. The infection of
bitterness and hatred spreads
all too quickly in these anxious
days from one area of our life
to another. And those who
live by the sword of SANDER
also may perish by it, for now
it is also being used against
distinguished Republicans. We
have just seen a sorry example
OF this in the baseless charges
hurled against our honored
Chief Justice. And now, too.
the highest officials of the
Pentagon are charged with
"coddling Communists" and
shielding treason.
General 'LWlcKer, one OF our
great Army's finest officers, is
denounced by Senator Nc
Carthy, as Stupid, arrogant,
witless," as unfit to be an
officer" and a disgrace to
the uniform. For what? For
obeying orders. This to a man
who has been decorated thir-
teen times for gallantry and
brilliance; a hero of the Battle
OF the Bulge. And this FROM
a man whom the Republic
can National Committee sends
around the country to SOW

memory of Abraham Lincoln.

as far as some Frenchmen have
wished.
Settlement of the Saar is a
trickier problem and on this
point the EDO proponents are
keeping their fingers crossed.
Privately, the Germans have
let it be known that they are
willing to accept most of the
French demands giving France a
large measure of control over the
disputed industrial region on
the Franco German frontier. On
the surface, little stands in the
way of an agreement.
Complicated Mechanics.
The mechanics of the meeting
between Mr.. Bidault and DR..
Adenauer, however, are COM
plicated. The pair will meet in
Paris for two hours to discuss
the Saar question before the Ger
man Chancellor takes of on a
17-day state visit to Greece and
Turkey After that, the dis
cussions will be turned over to
their deputies.
It may seem like a critical
time for courtesy calls, especially
since there is no one in the Ger
man government who can ne
gotiate with the same authority
as DR.. Adenauer. Still, officials
here are hopeful that the
Acknowledgement conference
can clear away the more impor-
tant obstacles. And Dr.. Ade-
nauer is believed to have offered
to cut his eastern tour short if
the deputies strike a snag.
At any rate, the Saar agree
ment must be reached within
very few days of DR.. Adenauer's
scheduled return on March 26.
The Foreign Affairs Committee
OF the French Assembly has
warned that it will oppose de-
bate on the EDO until it has had
time to study and pass on the
Franco-German settlement.
Hitch Would Be RuinOus.
: The fourth precondition to
action on the treaty has been
laid down by the Socialist men,
bers of the French Assembly.
Some rs deputies tprobably more
than enough to defeat the mea-
sure) have announced publicly
that they will not vote for EDO
unless action is taken first to
set up some form of democratic
civilian control over the pro-
posed military organization.
This action is expected to be
taken in Brussels on March 81
at meeting of the six EDO for
elgn ministers. Whatever agree
ment is reached between them,
1t is hoped that it will satisfy the
demands OF the French Socialists
who will be holding their own
party congress about the same
time.
There are just three working
days between the opening of the
Brussels conference and the
deadline for the EDO debate in
the Assembly. Even the most
optimistic officials here admit
that the schedule is desperately
tight and that the slightest hitch
anywhere along the line would
be ruinous Nevertheless 1.-THE

allegedly removed from Gov

We were told last October
by the White House that l.456
Government employees had
been removed as security risks.
The President later raised the
figure to 1900. And we were
told-by the Governor Of
New York. the Postmaster
General. the counsel to the
President and countless other
Republican leaders. that most
of these were "subversives,"
"SpieS and traitors" who had
been kicked out of Govern

even suggested they had been

Discord Answers
Hopes of Harmony

A year ago at this time there
was every reason to hope that
we were on the threshold of an
era of great good feeling
among Americans. Yet today,
where we hoped for harmony.
we have discord.
Where we yearned for heal
ing, we have hostility. Where
We looked forward to a ma
ton united, we have a people
divided. Where we expected
firm leadership. we have til
nudity.
1t is wicked and subversive
for public officials to try de-
liberately to replace reason
with passion. to substitute
hatred for honest difference:
to fulfill campaign promises
by practicing deception; and
to hide discord among Repub-
licanS by sowing the dragons
teeth of dissension among
Americans. The loyalty and

cal party. Of one-half of the

That such things are said
under the official sponsorship

have sought to split the Union

President Persuaded
McCorthyism Is Best

And why, you ask, have the
demagogues triumphed so
often?
The answer Is inescapable:
Because a group of political
plungers has persuaded the
President that McCarthyism is
the best Republican formula
for political success.
Had the Eisenhower admin
istration chosen to act in de-
Tense of itself and of the Ma
ton which it must govern. it
would have had the grateful
and dedicated support of all
but a tiny and deluded minor
ity of our people.
Yet. clear as the issue is,
and unmistakable as the sup
port is. the administration is
hopelessly, dismally, fatally
torn and rent within itself.
The Stevens incident illus
trateS what preceding events
have made memcrably plain:
A political party divided.
against itself. half Mccarthy
and half Eisenhower. cannot
produce national unity or gov
ern with confidence and pur-
pose. And it demonstrates
that, SO long as 1t attempts to
share power with its enemies,
it will inexorably lose power
to them.
Perhaps you will say that
I am making not a Democratic
but a Republican speech:
that / am counselling unity
in the Republican Party and
administration. You bet l am!
For as Democrats we don't be-
lieve in political extermina-
ton of Republicans, nor do we
believe in political fratricide;
IN the determination of one
another. we believe in the
Republic We exist to serve,
and We believe in the two
party system that serves it
that can only serve it, at home
and abroad. by the best and
the noblest of democracy's
progresses.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-07

The logic of all this is-not
only the intimidation and ST.
lencing of all independent in
stitutions and opinions in our
society but the capture of one
of our great instruments of
political action-the Repub-
iican Party. The end result.
in short. is malign and fatal

Democratic Party
Must Stoy Strong

This internal crisis makes it
all the more urgent that the
Democratic Party remain
strong. responsible and atten-
tive to the Nations business.
I note that no Democrat has
charged that the whole Re-
publican Party is corrupt
merely because three Republic
can congressman in a row
have been convicted of de-
frauding the Government. We
know that Republicans and
Democrats alike want better
Government Government
that measures up to the ideals
of proud people, to the dignity
which BELTS the leader among
nations. to the standard we
think of as the reward citizens
receive from a democracy for
which they pay and work and
pray and fight. and see their
sons die to preserve.
~
Now more than ever, Amer
lea must be citadel of sanity
and reason. We live in a
troubled. dangerous world
where the great issues are
peace or war and the stakes
are life and death.
Perhaps these diversions ex-
plain, for example, why there
has been so little public Curl
osity about such a genuine
concern as the new look" in
national defense and foreign
policy. I had hoped that there
might be a resumption of the

thing less than eternal vigi-
lance. But I do hold that past
errors do not excuse new ones:
that democracy's ideals and
vitality must not be despoiled
by those who purport to defend
them.
The President says he dis
approves all these goings-on
this SANDER and deceit. this
bitterness and ugliness. these
attempts to subordinate a Ma

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. II -
Delegates to the third plenary

The resolutions were submitted
to the $50 delegates representing
churches in the United States and

headed by the Rev. w. H. Guiton

The first resolution expressed
absolute disagreement with all

Spanish Roman Catholic hierarch-
les to curtail the religious tolera-
ton presently enjoyed by GER
tain number of Protestants in
Spain" A copy was to be sent to
the Spanish Government.
The second resolution contained
a seven point criticism of the Ro-

"the many unbiblical teachings"
and "the tremendous effort of
Rome to get hold of (Protestant)
countries by means which are often
reprehensible" and "for (perse-

NEW YORK, (GlobaD - 1t is
said that back in Sebtember of
1949, just after Don Newcombe
had finished off his second con-
secutive shut-out against the Pit
tsburgh Pirates, Branch Hickey,
then Brooklyn's boss man, had a
conversation with Frank Mckinney,

went something like this:
Hickey: Don Newcombe is the
best pitcher in baseball"
Mckinney: Would you sell
him ?"
Hickey: 81 certainly would. All

Mckinney: "And what's the right

Drivers Course Al
Jackson College
WasA Success

The second course in Driver Edu-
cation conducted at Jackson Col
lege by the Mississippi State De-
partment of Education was a ire
mendous success. Those who sue
cessfully completed the course were
certified to teach Driver Education
in the schools of Mississippi.
Mr.. R. T. Sawyer of Mississippi
State College who has had wide
and varied experience in the field
of Driver Education was assisted
by his equally experienced wife in
conducting the course. Dual con-
troll automobiles, radar and many
other pieces of ultra-modern scien-
tific equipment added interest to
the course.
The final demonstration was
performed on the Jackson College
campus. An electric device attach
ed to an automobile measured the
length of time required to stop at
any speed. The results were so
fantastic that many spectators ex-
planned that they would never be
guilty of speeding again. All who
participated in the course or wit
messed the demonstration agreed
that a course in Driver Education
should be a prerequisite for OBJ
tanning a drivers license in any
state.
Mr.. A. =. Smith, Jr., of the State
Department of Education was as
sisted by Mr.. H. P. Hill of the
AAA in awarding certificates to
those who satisfactorily completed
the course.
Jackson College is serving as host
to the 18th annual Christian Con-
ference of Negro Women, August
1921. The Conference is spon-
sored by women of the Presby-
terrain Church Interdenomination-
all Synod of Mississippi.
During the conference, Bible,
Church School Methods, Music,
Recreation, Evangelism and many
other subjects pertaining to Chris
tan Education will be studied. Out
standing speakers, teachers and
musicians will be featured through
out the conference.
Mrs. |. N. Baker, Jr, Director of
the Conference announced that all
sessions would be open to the pub
lie. Mrs. Baker found it impossible
to point out the most interesting
activities of the five-day program.
She said that every minute would
interest all who were fortunate
to be present.
