that the time be paid for by
the Democratic National Com
mittee. Then they would have
been on solid ground II they
insisted that any replies should
also be paid for. Once they
opened the door by giving free
time to speakers at a 800
a-plate Democratic Party din
ner, they were obliged to give
the same privilege to any per-
sons attacked on that program,
and Senator Mccarthy was
certainly attacked by Gov.
Stevenson.
The danger to the radio
broadcasting companies is that
they will unwittingly persuade
many millions of Americans
that they are not on a par
with the press at all and that,
to get all sides of the news,
there is no substitute for the
American daily newspaper.
This would be a serious loss
OF confidence in the networks.
Anybody with money enough
to buy a printing press and
hire q staff can publish a
newspaper. But it takes q Ii
cense from the Federal Gov
eminent to start a radio sta
ton. A Government-granted
monopoly should be especially
mindful of the public interest.
For it is obvious that there
are not two but three views
involved in this latest contro-
versy. They are the Steven
son side. the Nixon side
which. it has been publicly
announced, will not defend
McCarthy-and the defense
which the Wisconsin Senator
himself is entitled to make
because Of the use Of the theme
"McC arthyism" in the original
attack. s7
While the broadcasting COM
panies have a legal right to
pick whatever speakers they
desire. they can hardly an
swer persuasively the criticism
which will be visited upon
them that they do not deal
with the news on its merits,
but on some arbitrary rule of
their own which has the effect
Of suppressing one side Of an
argument.

to tarnish its political appeal.
Unlike Roosevelt and Tru-
man, Eisenhower did not con-
duct his own seminar for
correspondents on his budget
but apportioned the task to his
experts, Treasury Secretary
Humphrey, Budget Director
Dodge and Defense Secretary
Wilson. They did it ably as
a business proposition but it
was clear then that the time
wouldacome when political de-
tense Of the budget would have
to be made.
This task the President now
will and must assume. Repub-

ward in taxes suggests itself as
the least vulnerable politically
in periods like the present. In
stead, Republican tax leaders
proclaimed an intent merely to
make certain just and techni-
cal revisions which would not
heavily affect present revenues
since the budget is not yet
balanced.
Pressure from House men,

The White House, the top

Of Staff consider Indo- China
one of the most important
strategic areas in the world.
They regard its falling into
Communist hands at least as
serious for our security as Ko-

unless the French and native
forces are strongly bolstered
they will not be able to with
stand a major attack from the
Wet Mini forces who will be

ting that there are three sides
to the controversy provoked by
the Stevenson speech. Also,
when newspapers or radio be-
gin delegating their right Of
news judgment to the head of

conceding that they are no
longer independent but are
subServient to others outside
their own organization in
selecting their news. It is, of
course, a convenient device and
at first glance would seem to
relieve the networks of some
embarrassment, but it is trans
parently an abdication of news
judgment. Nor does 1t satisfy
fair play when, once having
granted time without cost to
one speaker. they shunt the
person attacked over to COM

advertising side to make his
reply. It will be a sorry day for

To Fight Testimony
OF Polish Shipments
By the Assoeicied Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. l2.-At-
torneys for Henry Lloyd Knight,
Washington attorney and dealer
in spare parts for airplanes. dug
through his files today searching
for material to counter testimony
that he tried to get a Swiss
dealer to help him get parts into
Poland.
Mr.. knight is on trial in Fed
eral Court on a charge of violat-
ing the United States Neutrality
Law in 1949 by making such
shipments.
The trial Is in recess until
Monday. Mr.. knights attorneys
said they would use the time to
hunt for letters exchanged be-
tween Mr.. Knight and William
Edward Percival. former aviation
writer for English publications
and now an aircraft dealer in
Zurich, Switzerland.
Mr.. Perciyal testified yester-
day he angrily turned down a
proposal Mr.. Knight made to
him to handle shipments to
Poland.
Mr.. Percival said he was
shocked when Mr.. Knight made
the proposal when they met at
Geneva late in october OF 1949.
He quoted Mr.. Knight as say
ing Air Union, Inc, Mr.. Knights
firm in Bethesda, Md, already
had a $4,000 to $4,000 deal
in the works for providing parts
to the nationalized Polish air
line.

SEOUL, Mar. 12.-Four south

tail at the Korean demarcation
line today and fled north when
American Sabre jets streaked up
to meet them, the Air Force said.
No shots were fired. added a
spokesman for the 5th Air Force.
The Red planes apparently
were headed toward Inchon, port
city for Seoul in South Korea,
the spokesman said. But there
was no way Of knowing If the
Communist pilots actually in
tended to cross into South Korea
or were testing allied radar and
air alert practices.
Terrain UnmistakabIe.
It is possible the Communist
planes were of course, although
the Air Force said they appar-
emily flew overland and the Han
estuary terrain near Inchon
would be hard to mistake in day.

The Air Force said the south
bound jets were picked UP on
allied radar screens and four

them.

Republican Relief for the Rich

The stock markets sur

the new Republican tax pol

Time will tell whether it was
politically wise for the business
community to press for such
advantages during q period
when the Eisenhower admin

relief for the vast majority of

men have some doubt that Re-
