GENEVA, May mo coun-
try on the side Of the free
world has had its public opin-
ion prepared for the realistic
truth about the dangers of the
Indo-C China war to world
peace. That is why there are.
perplexitieS both in Britain
and the United States. as well
as in France, in facing UP to
what Indo- China truly means.
Because Indo- China is a far
OF land and seems remote
from us all, it was easy for the
opposition in the British Par
lament to tie the hands of
Prime Minister Churchill and
for the opposition in the Amer
ican Congress to diSparage the
great plan of Secretary of
State Dulles to save Indo-
China and prevent a chain of
circumstances that could bring
on World War III.
Slowly but surely, however,
the facts are being revealed
and, despite the delicacy of the
issues, the two English-speak-
ing allies are finding it abso-
lutely necessary to get closer
together in a common front
against the Communist aggres-
sorS in Southeast Asia.
Already the first steps in the
American program - which
should have taken place before
the Geneva Conference began
but which got begged down
in the political fog of Lon
don-are being put into oper-
alton. Military staff officers of
the United States, France and
Great Britain are meeting at

The surprisingly wide mar
gin Of victory for John Spark
man seems also to have an
other meaning that is signifi-
can't for the future and in as
sessing possible future politi-
Cal trends nationally. 1t ap-
peared to indicate a receding
Of what might be called the
"Dixiecrat" tide.
The Dixiecrats became i'm
portant nationally, you will
recall, when that hybrid third
party movement with its own
Southern candidates for Pres
ident and Vice President
Clipped away four Southern
States from then President
Truman and the regular Dem
ocratic ticket in 1948. What
ever motives were mixed up in
that Dixiecrat movement
and they were varied-it did
become a convenient front for
such economic interests as
utilities. oil, textiles and banks
that bitterly opposed Roose-
velt-Truman reform aims Of
all sorts, including Federal
control Of offshore oil lands.
Two years ago, in 1852, those
same interests, no longer heed
ing a Dixiecrat third party
front, joined up with Southern
Republicans behind President
Eisenhower, who also carried
four Southern States. They
have seen some of their aims.
including State control Of off,
shore oil lands up to the "his-
toric boundaries" achieved
through the Eisenhower adj
ministration under pb dges Sc
cured during the campaign.
The scope of the Sparkman
triumph would indicate that
the Dixiecrat peak probably
was reached two years ago.
and that it is diminishing now
as the rank and file Of the
> South are becoming aware of
the real aims of the new alli-
ance which has used Gen. Eli
senhower as q front.

The big question now is
whether the moral damage
done by Britain's hesitation
can be completely repaired.
but American officials here are
delighted that Britain and
America are working together
again. Now, il Democrats and
Republicans in Congress would
forget their partisanship and
work together on these inter-
national questions, the chances
Of avoiding a third world war
would improve immeasurably.
When the cabinet Of Premier
Laniel won a vote Of confidence
in the French Parliament, the
hand Of Foreign Minister BIZ
dau1t here was strengthened.
This means that the French
can begin now to negotiate
with the Communist delega-
tions and see If q basis exists
for an armistice with military
safeguards. This may take
some time but. If Peiping and
Moscow know that behind the
proposed armistice is a col
lective-security pact in the
making, as envisaged by Secre-
tary Dulles, they may be less
inclined to fritter away time in
useless palavering.
The very emergence Of soli-
darity on the allied side is in
itself a salutary development.
and the incidents of the last
few days in London, Washing
ton and Paris demonstrate how
important unity back home in
every country on our side is to
the success of the conference
here.

The healthy and sane as
poets Of the Alabama senate
rial primary this week are cas-
lily overlooked, but should be
noted.
They may be construed
fairly safely as symptomatic
Of the new spirit of tolerance
that is moving in the South.
At least that seems to be the
underlying meaning of the re-
nomination by a humping
majority Of Senator John
Sparkman. which Is tanta-
mount to election.
Let us take a look at this
Interesting case study. Sen
ator Sparkman was a delegate
to the 1852 Democratic ma
tional convention. He was a
member of its resolutions COM
mittee. He helped to draft the
plank in the party's platform
dealing with civil rights which.
among other commitments.
advocated Federal legislation
to secure effectively for every
one "the right to equal op-
portunity for employment" AS
its final act, the convention
nominated Senator Sparkman
as its candidate for Vice Pres
ident to run with Gov.
Adlai Stevenson of Illinois.
In that capacity. he made
speeches all over the country
for the national party.
Surely there's nothing un-
usual there, other than q typ
ical American success story OF
the son of q tenant farmer
who pushed himself forward
and upward, entered politics.
and ultimately was honored
by his party with second place
on it's national ticket. q
distinction OF Whlcn MS COM
munity and State should
naturally be proud.
But there is something un-
usual here: You might not
think it, but it is risky still
for a Southern political leader
to be a party to a civil rights
plank and then to identify
himself with the platform and
the national party by being
so bold as to accept its nomi-
nation for Vice President. The
risk became clear when it
came time for John Spark
man, who never got to be Vice
President, to run again for

Johnson filings the Gauntlet
Senate Minority Leaders Foreign-Poicy Attack
Seen as Bid for Bipartisan Leadership

area is whether the President
can and will make it possible
for Senator johnson to be q
statesman.
AS of now the President has
been silently accepting Demo-
cratic support on many issues
but especially on foreign pol
icy while permitting his politi-
cal brain trust-Attorney Cen
eran Brownell and National
Chairman Hall-to use Sena-
tor Mccarthy and the theme
Of 20 years Of treason.
Developing another Vanden-
berg in the opposition party
while pursuing such an indict-
ment on the low road would be
a good trick If the President
can do it.
It is fair to mention in con-
nection with Senator Johnson's
sudden stride into the center
of the national stage that the
way was cleared for him when
the primary filing date was
passed in Texas and no seri-
Gus opposition appeared. Gov.
Shivers. an open supporter Of
Gen. Eisenhower in 1852, chose
to be Governor again rather
than reopen party wounds.
That the Senator had felt
he must keep a weather eye
cooked on Texas was apparent
during the year and a half Of
his tenure of the leadership.
It is improbable that he will
ever want to go as far on some
domestic issues. including Ia
Dor and civil rights, as North
erners. But it is also true that
foreign policy is almost sure
again to be, even If hot war
is avoided, the foremost issue
in 1856.

For the first time a senior
Democrat and responsible
party leader with power to en-
force his decisions has chal-
lenged President Eisenhower
in the field Of foreign policy.
Lyndon Johnson Of Texas is
the leader Of 48 Democratic
Senators who are a minority
only technically. and by their
deliberate choice. When he
asSailed the administrations
recent actions on Indo- China
as "a dismal series of reversalS
and confusionS" and asserted
that American foreign policy
has never in all its history
suffered such a stunning de-
feat" he raised storm signals
the President dare not ignore.
Senator johnson chose a
partisan forum for his address
the Jefferson-Jackson Day
dinner attended by inluen-
tial Democrats from all over
the country. Informed circles
perceive in this a planned
strategy.
Simply put, 1t is that the
vigorous and attractive Texan
is a candidate for President
who has chosen the present
vacuum Of bipartisan leader
ship on foreign policy as the
vehicle for his legitimate am
bitions.
It is an area in which he
can well and truly operate to
bring himself before the Amer
ican people. He is taking q
stand which cannot but be
popular in Texas and he has
chosen the issue on which his
party Is very nearly unani-
