The defeat of the EDO by
the French National Assembly
turned the German man in the
street to the Socialist ranks
since that party's foreign poll
icy had proved more nearly
correct than that of Mr.. AIDE
nauer. The average citizen
does not care how brilliant
or well-intentioned leader is.
He wants positive results, and
Mr.. Adenauer has not obtained
them.
There is no question that
the surrender at Geneva has
dealt a severe and possibly
irreparable blow to Western
prestige. The strongly pro-
Communist In dian Premier
Nehru is going next month to
Peiping - the Asiatic branch
office of the Kremlin. His
purpose is to strengthen fur
Their the cordial ties between
Communist China and India.
Burmese Premier u M also
has announced that he will
soon visit Premier Chou En-
lai in Peiping.
All these European and Ash
attic allies and friends of ours,
on whom our Government has
poured 500 billion from the
taxpayers pocketbooks, are
concerned over the growing
might of the U. S. S. r. and
its satellites. And they are
even more concerned over the
lack of a determined, strong
policy by the United States.
1t is impressive to hear about
"agonizing reappraisals" and
massive retaliation" But it is
depressing to find out that
deeds do not follow the words.

LONDON. The immense

a quick decision on the prob

Sad November for G. Q. P. Seen
Maine Results Indicate Republicans Moy Be Heoded
For One of the Worst Defeats in History of Purty

Names election results
tend to show that the Re-
publican Party may be in for
one Of the worst beatings it
has ever gotten and that it
surely will lose control of the
House of Representatives by
a wide margin.
The handwriting on the wall
is plain. The figures in Mon
days election, when COM
pared with percentages in
previous elections. show that
the drop-off from the Repub-
lican Party vote is very sub
stantial.
The reasons are clear also
after one talks with the in
siders in Maine. They are as
follows:
/. The Republican organi-
cation in Maine was shot to
pieces, and only in the last
two weeks Of the campaign
was a desperate attempt made
to win back disaffected Re-
publicans. particularly from
the Taft wing of the party.
Many Of them undoubtedly
voted the Democratic ticket
or stayed away from the polls
out of resentment and because
they felt that it would be
better to have Democratic
New Dealers in Congress than
Republican New Dealers, as
this might teach q lesson to
the left-wing elements which
have been fighting the con-
servative wing of the party
instead of fighting Democrats.
2. Unemployment was a
real issue and cost the Re-
publicans many votes in the
areas where the textile mills
have been shut down.

its defeat would be an Amer
lean and European catastro-
phe. What nonsense! There
were cogent rational argu-
ments against EDO as an in
strument to fulfill the purpose
for which its was designed.
Those who opposed tive

and their arguments were
neither vicious nor silly.
And now that the hapless
policy is out of the way, and
tempers show signs of being
restored, we might observe
that, though the basket has
collapsed, no eggs are broken
that were not cracked to start
with. The good ones are as
intact as they were in 1850.
NATO is still intact-and like
~ to be strengthened. Chan
cellor Adenauer has recovered
the restraint and patience of
his innate craftsmanship.
Secretary Dulles has addressed
an admirable note to the Soviet
Union, courteous, unaggressive,
dignified and firm, accom-
panied by parallel notes from
Britain and France-the
France of which M. Mendes-
France is still Prime Minister
rejecting the Soviet proposal
for an ESst-West conference
on European security.
And the leaders of Western
civilization should now take
plenty of time to weave a new
container for Western security.

Comparisons With Recent Q. P. Margins in State

Local and intervening fac
tors" may be chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for the election Of a Dem
ocratic Governor in Maine.
That was the explanation Of
Republican National Chairman
Leonard w. Hall.
But, nonetheless, nothing has
given Democrats such a lift,
professionals and rank and file,
since that sad, cold dawn after
the 1852 election when they
woke up to find themselves
voted out of power here. Elec-
ton of a Governor in Maine,
which had not happened in 20
years, seemed somehow just the
right psychological FLIP to in
dictate a trend on top of q
string Of earlier successes which
appear significant. Reference
is particularly to triumph of
New Deal-Fair Deal candidates
in the South-Senators Spark
man In Alabama and Kefauver
in Tennessee and former Gov.
Kerr Scott in North Carolina.
A Democratic Governor of
Maine seems also to cancel out
the denomination in Texas Of
the Eisenhower Democrat, Gov.
Allan Shivers, which disap-
pointed regular party leaders
who had remained loyal in
1852.
Republicans were unable to
pump a very confident note
into their voices as they par
roted the official explanation of
local and intervening factors"
for the governorship defeat and
claimed on the other hand that
the reelection of Republican
Senator Margaret Chase Smith

7 Guatemala ExiIes Snub
Argentina for Iron Curtain
BY the Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. Is
Two out of more than 100
Guatemalan political exiles here
refused asylum in Argentina
yesterday and said they will go
behind the Iron Curtain.
The refugees Of the ousted
Red-backed Arbenz regime were
flown here from Guatemala
by the Argentine Air Force.
Carlos Pellicer, who led Guate-
mala's Communist Party while
Jacobo Arbenz Guzman was
president, declined asylum and
said he will go to Czechoslovakia,
Argentine authorities announced.
Another unidentified refugee will
go to Poland.
The remainder have been as
sured liberty to live and work
in Argentina without restrictions.

ger than ever to "set q stand
ard for the rest Of the country
in November"
For nothing Of that sort
happened this week. The fact
is that the usual Republican
majorities were sharply re-
duced in the vote polled by
Senator Smith and Repub-
lican candidates for the
House. It was in this area of
Congress that analysts pro-
fessed to see the real signifi-
canoe Of the Maine result, for
it is in Congress where the
real stakes lie.
How good Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Stephen A.
Mitchell felt about Maine may
be gathered from the restraint
he imposed on himself in his
reactions and the warning he
issued to Democratic candi-
dates elsewhere against over
confidence. He conceded the
predominance of local factors
in the gubernatorial triumph,
though very happy that a ma
jority of Maine voters prefer
q Democrat. He knows the
facts, which are that Gov.
Burton H. Cross. who was de-
feated by Democrat Edmund
8. Muskie, had antagonized
many voters by some Of his
acts and policies.
But, on the basis of the
reduced Republican vote for
Congress he ventured that
such, when transpoSed else
where, could mean a Demo-
cratic gain of as high as 40
seats in the House. The for
mula, familiar and interesting
If not always waterproof,
works this way In the case of
Maine:
The three Republican House
members elected got only IS
per cent Of the total vote cast
in the congressional races this
week as compared with 81 per
cent two years ago. One Of
them, Representative Robert

ton that DR.. Adenauer has
his Dutch up" and must be
dealt with quickly and well.
Senator Wiley was also in q
position to describe how Con-
gress Is apt to feel about any
prolonged inertia or inaction
in the search for German solu-
tionS.
At the moment the British
line peddled by Mr.. Eden is
something like this:
Germany must have her SOW
ereignty, of course. She must
rearm, and NATO, a going
concern which has already de-
veloped a school-tie feeling
among its members, is the
best place to put her.
Rearmament today is a hide
ously expensive business, and
when the West Germans find
out how much it will cost
them, they will not be so
very Jealous to build a great
military establishment. After
all, alone among the great
powers, or even little ones,
Germany has not had to put
huge sums into her budget
for arms. It is one reason she
has recovered so promptly.
She will not want to endanger
that recovery by reckless mill
tary spending.
British spokesman point up
what rearmament means today
with an assertion that the IL
divisions Germany was to have
put into the defunct EDO was
as large an army as the Werh-
macht with which Hitler be-
gan his conquests.

ator Margaret Chase Smith
was reelected this time by a
majority OF only about $4,000
as against her $4,000 majority
six years ago. But what is
more important is that, while
her percentage Of the total
vote in 1948 was 7l.3 per cent,
it is only 58.4 per cent this
time. This is a sensational
drop-off in percentage points.
Also significant is the drop
of Of the Republican vote for
the three Republican members
OF Congress who were re-
elected. In the LIST district,
the Republican percentage in
1948 was 62.5 and in 1850 It
was 81. while in 1852 it went up
to GIG. But this week 1t came
down to 50 per cent, which lis
the lowest it has been in that
district for many years.
In the I'd congressional
district, the Republican per-
centage was 67.2 in, 1948 and
SIT in 1850 and 66.8 in 1852.
Now it is down to sat-, which
again Is the lowest for many
years.
In the Sd congressional
district, the Republican per-
centage was TOO in 1913 and
62.9 in 1850 and rs in 1852.
But this time it is down to
60.3, which also is the lowest
for a long time in this district.
This correspondent, in an
alyzing the Maine results after
the September, 1948, congress
sional election, said that Gov.
Dewey would have to get at
least go per cent of Names
vote in November in order to
get the 81 per cent vote
throughout the country needed
to win. Actually, Gov. Dewey
got only 500 per cent when
he carried Maine. and he lost
the national election. Gen. Eli
senhower got 66.2 per cent of
Names vote in 1852 and 55.4
per cent Of the national vote.

Elan q sree:a! Pietvre-a-Year Album

The other day we saw a very
interesting picture series-the
kind that would be wonderful
addition to any family album.
We'd like to pass the idea along
to you.
First, there was the picture of
mother leaning over, holding up
baby's arms while baby put out
his foot experimentally. The pic
ture was taken on the lawn with
a hedge which had recently been
planted in the background. That
was the first picture. Every year
to the day after that, mother and
child stood in the same spot for
another picture. The first few
years, the hedge had it all over
the child in growth. But in the
last picture, taken this year, the
boy, now seventeen, towers over
both his mother and the hedge.
1t looks as if in another year or
two he might be able to reach
down and hold on to his mother
with HER hands above her head!
This picture series took no par

ticular skill. 1t was snapped in
bright sunlight. The images were
clear-they had been taken at a
distance of six feet for the earlier
pictures, and eight feet for the
last three or four. They were all
snapped with the same camera
too, an ordinary box-type that
was inexpensive when it was
bought and is still in good use.
The investment in the camera
was nothing compared with the
enjoyment this family gets in TAX
ing out just this one picture series
to show their friends.
1t is the kind of series any fam
lily would like, and can easily
take. Along with the usual birth
day and Christmas snapshots, it'll
give you wonderfully vivid rec
ord of how the children grow. It's
little like the old-fashioned idea
of measuring the youngster peri
odically and marking it on the
kitchen Wall-but a lot more fun.

CHRISTMAS TREE AUCTIONS
ON MILE-HIGH MOUNTAIN

While bright autumn coloring
mingles with the evergreens on
the North Carolina mountains,
Santa Claus has helpers at work
on the mile-high slopes of Roam
Mountain near Bakersville.
They're U. S. Forest Service
men appraising and marking
some $500 Christmas trees
which Uncle Sam will sell at
auction to dealers in early Octo-
Der. The trees are Fraser Balsam
Fir and Red Spruce which are so
carefully harvested each year
that the natural beauty of Roam
Mountain is not marred and a
continuing supply of trees for
future Christmases is assured.
This year it will be easier than
ever for the Christmas tree
buyers to attend the auction and
haul the trees to market. With
the paving of a two-mile section
of U. S. Forest Service road con-
Meeting with Highway 261, auto
mobiles and trucks can now be
driven to the crest of 6,286-foot
Roam Mountain, which is part
of Pisgah National Forest.
Trees to be sold are carefully
selected by Forest Service per-
