A Crooked Deal?

Now that he has made the charge,
Senator Gore of Tennessee ought to pro-
duce-if he can-Some evidence to show
Just how "a crooked deal" is involved in the
Presidents directive to the Atomic Energy
Commission to negotiate a contract for
construction Of a private power plant at
West Memphis, Arkansas.
AS matters stand, Mr.. Gore has been
content merely to cut loose with his accu-
sation without substantiating 1t in any
particular. Nor Is he likely ever to be able
to substantiate 1t. For the record thus far
does not lend the slightest support to what
he has said. Instead, the record shows that
the negotiation of the projected contract
has been called for as part OF thoroughly
open and frank effort to reduce Federal
expenditures and encourage free enterprise
In way that would serve the national in
tereSt without injuring the present Struc-
ture Of the Tennessee Valley Authority. or
course, because the proposal would involve
the Acc in an unusual roundabout trans
action, and because 1t would put what some
critics sincerely regard as destructive
check on iva expansion, there has been
ample justification for legitimate debate as
regards its wisdom and economic SoundnesS.
To say that of 1t, however, is one thing
it is something else again to attack it
as sinister, underhanded attempt to work
out "a crooked deal" against the American
people.
Conceivably Mr.. Gore may be able to
document this ugly charge, but nothing
could seem more improbable. For the fact
is that his attack apparently adds up to
just another dreary example of that reck-
less and shameful kind of demagoguery that
too often debases the character of our pub
lie debates

wanted to tell you that during the hear
ings every time you came on. my mother
would say: There's q kind man, there's
a good man. there's Christian man.
She was IS and she died few weeks
ago, but want you to know we both
thought you were wonderful" she said.
Mr. WEIGH thanked her for coming over.
While the committee is preparing its
report on the hearings. he is preparing
an unofficial one of his own. At his
famous stand-up desk in his plain,
cypress-panelled Office, whose chief
decoration is Rembrandt portrait over
the mantel, he has been writing for q
national magazine first-person ac-
count Of his reactions to the events Of
the hearings
To him. he says the caucus room was
never anything but cage" He obvi-
ously is glad to be out of it back in his

Mr.. COIN Departs

The resignation of Chief Counsel Roy
Cohn was an almost inevitable aftermath
Of the McCarthy-Army hearings.
It is fair to say that the Army failed
to prove it's graver accusations against Mr..
Cohn. Enough was proved, however, to
justify the conclusion that Mr.. Cohn, while
serving as counsel to Senate committee,
brought improper pressure to bear in be-
half of his friend, Private Schine. That
being SO, there was nothing to do but dis
pense with his services
It is ridiculous to say that Mr.. Cohn is
the victim of smear artists. That smear
attacks were made on him can hardly be
questioned, but had it not been for his own
excuses he would have survived them 1t
is equally ridiculous to suggest that the
fight against communism is lost, now that
Mr.. Cohn has gone. Certainly new counsel
of adequate competence can be found If the
committee intends to pursue this line of
inquiry.
There is one thing, however, which
should be made clear. Neither the resig-
nation of Mr.. Cohn nor the other staff adj
justmentS will cure what Is basically wrong.
with the Mccarthy subcommittee. For the
real trouble lies with Senator Mccarthy.
It Is he who has set the pace for ruthless
disregard of the rights of witnesses, as, for
instance in the case of General wicker.
It is he who has scaled new heights in the
realm of distortion and Misrepresentation
It is Senator Mccarthy who, in the name
Of fighting communism, has really done SO
much to help the cause of communism by
Underwriting what we think of as American
principles and procedures.
The departure of Mr. Cohn is not going
to cure this. Nor is 1t going to be cured by
such things as the headlinish Flanders res
olution, assuming that it may be adopted.
The cure will not come until the Senate
screws up its courage and adopts code OF
rules and procedures which will compel
Senator Mccarthy to conduct decent in
vestigation or surrender his Craftsmanship.

Iran ToIks Back Again

DEVELOPMENTS in Iran during the past
week end encourage belief that this invit-
ing corridor for Communist penetration
into the Near East may be sealed off-to the
advantage of the nom Communist world.
The developments were these: III A big
step toward final agreement between the
Iranian government and eight interna-
tional oil companies on a reopening OF what
formerly was major segment Of the world
petroleum industry and (2l stiff1y worded
note from Teheran advising Moscow, in Ell
feet, to mind its own business.
The second development was the more
dramatic and resulted from protest, made
by Moscow through diplomatic channels,
against the possibility that Iran might join
in the network of Western security pacts.
Specifically, there have been informal re-
ports and speculation that Iran might be-
come q partner In the Turkish-PakiStan1
alliance, providing the middle link In what
could be solid defensive front against
Russian aggression southwark. Regional
alliances of this type, incidentally, are APP
proved In chapter eight Of the United Ma
lions Charter, and the Kremlin government
left itself vulnerable by It's protest. Actu-
ally, Iran has not become partner in the
alliance and the fact that the Soviet protest
was based so largely upon unofficial and
unconfrmed information further weakened
the Kremlin's case.
The whole incident, as matter OF fact,
seems to add up to major diplomatic
blunder by Moscow. Only few days before
the Russian protest note was delivered, the
Soviet government had made some impor-
tant concessions to Teheran on l0ng-Stand-
ing Iranian financial claims. The good win
earned by these concessions was dissipated
completely, however, as soon as the text OF
the Soviet protest note was made public.
Trans Foreign Minister Entezam, a former
ambassador here, made 1t clear that his
country-as sovereign power-will do as It
pleases to protect its own security and indie
pendence And there is good reason to
think this may mean just what the RUS
slams do not like -namely, participation in
defense organization designed to bar RUS
sian advance southwark.
Iran, historically target OF Russian
imperialistic designs Czarist as well as
Communist--appea once again to have
called its northern neighbor's bluff.
Meanwhile, Trans economic problem
and western prestige appeared likely 70
benefit from agreement reached on trou-
blesome issue of price discounts on oil pur-
chased by the eight international COM
panies when the Iranian fields are reopened.
The companies American, British, French
and Dutch abandoned their request for q
10 per cent discount on posted Persian
Gulf prices Although the mechanics OF
getting the Iranian oil industry back into
operation will require considerable time,
the imminence Of complete and final
agreement strengthens Iranian credit and
tends to eliminate d threat to the govern
ment Of Premier zahedi.

Indo-c hino Truce

1T is good and heartening thing that
for the first time IN almost is years the
world is free of war, even though the price
which has been paid is high. But the real
meaning Of the cease-fire which has been
signed in the Indo- China war will not be
found In todays dispatches.
The rich Red River delta and the city
of Hanoi will go to the Communists. This
means that the IRON Curtain has been ex-
tended little farther. Some Is million
people, once free, or nominally free, fall
into the hands Of the Wet Mimi. There
should be mourning for those in Wet Nam
who had the courage to fight for their free
dom. For things will go hard with them
II they fall into Communist hands. We
should not forget, however, that the indif-
ference Of the Wet Namese was a big con-
tributing factor to the French failure In
this war. The only rational conclusion Is
that most Of the natives either had no pref
erence, or actually preferred the COM
munists to the French. There is no occa-
sion for -wringing with respect to
them.
These, however, are merely some of the
things that can be seen in the short view.
The answers to the really important ques-
tions still lie beyond the horizon.
Why have the Communists agreed to a
truce when, it seemed. they might readily
have won this war outright? What signif1-
canoe does the answer have in relation to
the prospect for real settlement in Asia?
Now that the immediate pressure OF hoStil-
tiles has been lifted, what will be the effect
on the Western Alliance? Will the French
be more willing to proceed with ratification
OF the European Defense Community
treaty, or has ratification been traded away
in the truce negotiations? Will France,
Britain and the United States, in conjunc-
ton with Asian nations, move now toward
organizing a defense of what is left in
Southeast Asia? Or will the Communists
be permitted to march on, step by step,
employing the device of SubverSion which is
backed by armed force, but not by open
aggression?
When the answers to questions such as
these are known it will be possible to say
whether this truce is to mark turning
point toward better and peaceful world,
or whether history will record the work
done at Geneva as merely another triumph
in the onward sweep Of communism. These
sansVersFv will not be known soon, however,
and meanwhile we and our friends should
not be content to mark tirne. AS long as
there is opportunity, or as long as there
appears to be opportunity, to reinforce the
basis of peace and security, we should make
thegnaost pitt. ASfIYgYI4sfg@

Mr.. Hoover also failed to waste the
taxpayers money on boondoggling and
did not sell himself into political slavery
to labor organization for a campaign
contribution Of 100000 or bow to the
dictates of the labor bosses to secure
nomination. He failed to have his,
wife continuously campaign for his
reelection by affiliating with pressure
groups and attending their social func-
tions. Mrs. Hoover never invited Com
munist youths to the White House as
her guests or wrote drivel on her every
day life and sold it to the newspapers.
Mr.. Hoover never bundled up lot Of
Government documents to sell as a
book at q huge profit to himself. He
failed to ask Congress to pay the bill
for museum to house his marvellous
collection Of war stuff-he paid 1t him
self. He also built Rapidan resort
for fishing and recreation and gave it
to the Government. Mr.. Hoover did
not go on fishing trips on Government
warships accompanied by fleet OF
destroyers.
It is because Of these many failures
that today Herbert Hoover. unlike his
two Democratic successors, is highly
honored and respected by the vast
majority Of his fellow-citizens.

Old Reactionary.

It can be done. In the late 1920s our
great conservative President. Calvin
Coolidge, reduced the national debt by
50 billion. He also stated: IF good men
won't hold Office, bad men ydll."
We must all exercise our franchise
and carefully choose our representa-
tives In Congress In both the House and
Senate. The weaklings. the so-called
would-be liberals must 60. We must
send only Americans-for- America back
to Congress this coming November. for
when liberty dies in America. 1t takes
with it all the hopes of mankind in the
world.
Today some of our leading institu-
tions of learning play down nationalism
and patriotism to ones own country
as old-fashioned. 1t is deplorable
situation Morale is so low in our mill
tary establishments that West Point
has the greatest number Of vacancies
in its history: 1t is estimated that the
Academy, with a capacity Of 2.496, may
have as many as 1915 vacancies.
