Influential editors and pub
fishers resisted the Nixon
conditioning for an Indo-
China venture. Several said
frankly they would fight it.
There will be some dissat-
isfaction, even fear. aroused
by the administration change
of pace. But shrewd judges of
Congress do not believe that
the President will encounter
serious opposition as he strug-
giles with a situation almost
defying rational solution.
All Of the House and a third
of the Senate will be up this
fall. They understand thor
oughly the politics of the sit
uation: the honest ones admit
they are only glad they don't
have to make the decision.
Actually, the Democrats
could not easily attack an in
tervention which would be in
line with their past policies.
A majority of them would feel
duty bound to support it.
Secretary Dulles is. there
fore. free to tack and trim
his course as his predecessor
never was. 1t would be diff
cult. however. to regain the
Initiative at Geneva after the
present start.

We are now reaping the
harvest of our own and par
ticularly the United Nations
mistakes. The defenders Of
Indo-China are about ex-
hausted, and unless an
eleventh-hour agreement for
a Pacific NATO is reached
quickly that area will fall into
Communist hands.
We were maneuvered at
Berlin by our Western allies
to go to Geneva and sit down
with the killers of millions Of
innocent people, including
tens of thousands of Ameri.
cans and other allied pris-
oners Of war who had the
misfortune to fall into the
hands of those merciless foes.
Throughout the years, when
these developments occurred,
the U. N. produced nothing
more than some watered down
resolutions "deploring" acts
against humanity. The old
League of Nations, ineffective
as it proved to be, had at least
the courage to expel the
U.S.S.R. from its membership
before 1t folded up as a result
OF its inability to prevent the
Second World War.
The U. N. has been so far O
useful vehicle for the U.S.S.R.
to mount its diplomatic Of
fensives. 1t was from the floor
of that organization that the
Soviet diplomat, Jacob Malik.
launched his armistice pro-
posal in 1851 when our mill
tary were certain they had
the Chinese hordes on the run.
The U.N. is also a useful
sounding board for Red propa-
ganda voiced by Moscow's sat-
elites and affiliates, such as
India. But what is that organ
ization doing these days when
the situation in the Far East
has reached a boiling point
which may throw the world
into a third world war? It Of

Needed, q Te|eWsion Sponsor
Senate Subcommittee Show Should Go On DESPITE Great
Cost Some Possibilities Explored but All Are Doubtful

The television networks and
stations are finding that broad
casting the McCarthy-Army
hearings, as a public service,
is an expensive business.
Some are finding it too ex-
pensive to continue on the
comprehensive scale at which
it was launched, and are
sharply curtailing their cover
age. Thanks to what now ap-
pears to have been a dubious
ruling by the Senate COM
mittee's counsel on the ad-
instability of monitored tele-
phone Conversations ruling
accepted by the committee
the hearings appear likely to
last many more weeks than
originally contemplated. To
continue the full daily coverage
to the bitter end would mean
losses running into the mil
lions for the broadcasting COM
panies. The losses result from
the displacement of programs
for which commercial Spon-
sors pay the bill.
The television show is serv-
ing a useful purpose. 1t is
enabling the American people
to get a better view of the
thing we call McCarthyiSm
than it has heretofore had. If
it hastens the day when that
thing will cease to be a part
of American life it will be
worth all it costs. So it may
be useful to explore the pos
sibility of finding some means
of meeting the costs.
Commercial sponsorship is
hardly practicable. even if the
dignity of the United States
Government permitted it. I'M
agine Chairman Mundt stop
ping proceedings every five or
10 minutes to say. And now a
word from our sponsor. And

tor stepping forward to tell

he is called a fright winger"
or an "isolationist," which is
supposed to be a first cousin
to a Fascist from Nazi Ger
many. The truth. however, is
that isolation is the paramount
policy Of each country in
Europe, and such organiza-
tions as the European De-
tense Community and even the
NATO setup are regarded as
devices invented by the United
States and are tolerated
merely as one way Of getting
economic and military aid,
both Of which. of course. are
sorely needed.
Americans can be proud of
John Foster Dulles, their
Secretary Of State. for he
manifests on every occasion
the f1rmness so necessary to
keep this conference from
becoming a victory for the
Communists. He naturally has
to tread cautiously here as the
French play a skillful game on
Indo-China, and the Commu-
niSts. well aware of the strains
between the free governments,
seek to obtain acceptance of a
formula which will pay lip
service to the uniflcation of
divided Korea or a divided
Indo-China but which can
only mean, if not rejected here,
the triumph of communistic
inf1ltration.
1t will take several days for
the preliminary sparring to
be completed and Secretary
Dulles has already revealed
that he plans to stay only 10
days. so the Communists will
have to come forward in that
time with something concrete
or see the conference itself dis
solve into a contest of staying
power not unlike that at
Panmunjom. For the hotels
are comfortable and the luxu-
ries Of life for the Communists
are such a welcome change
from their routine as to make
the delegates from Moscow
and Peiping not at all anxious
to hurry back home. It looks
like a long g-drawn-out con-
ference.

not risk taking the initiative
on 1ndo-C China.
BY such resistance, Ameri-
cans in effect have sanctioned
Mr.. Dulles right to bargain at
Geneva and get the best
temporary solution that can
be devised It is already be-
ing said from Geneva that he
expects to stay in the back
ground, apparently to disas-
sociate the administration as
much as possible from an
agreement that could prove
as unpopular as intervention
now is.
The country's attitude was
brought home to 1900 Penn
sylvania avenue in a variety
Of ways. Congressional lead
ers refused to give the Presi-
dent a blank check to act
without Congress, should an
emergency arise.
They pointed to their mail
which indicates that people
here are not yet ready for the
new test. It is probable that
the White House mail reflects
a similar contention. Gov
ernors here for a civil defense
conference also say that their
folks are "of two minds"
still unprepared for a final
STEP"

Dovid LoWrence-

GENEVA, April 27.-An at
mosphere of frigid politeness
if not veiled hostility prevails
here between the United
States delegation and the
delegations representing North
Korean, Chinese and Soviet
Communists.
The other Is countries which
participated in the Korean
war and have come here for
the so-called peace conference

tatorS.
Wisely. Secretary of State
Dulles refrained from assum-
ing the post of a rotating
chairman, preferring to stay
in the background and thus
avoiding the embarrassment
of sitting in the presiding
officers chair where conceiv-
ably he would be dealing in a
parliamentary sense with the
Red China SpokeSmen.
It seems incredible that
Soviet Russia would have the
effrontery to ask that Red
China be seated as an equal
of the powers at this con-
ference. 1t is even more fan
tastic that the government
at Peiping which not so many
months ago was processing to
the world that it had nothing
to do with the Intervention by
Chinese Communist troops in
Korea and that these were
merely Chinese volunteers"
should now be asking for equal
recognition as major power"
It was only a few months
ago, too, that the United Ma
tions was by formal resolution
declaring the government Of
Red China to be an aggressor,
but at the conference here
one would think the Red Chi
nese were as respectable as
the governments of the free
world. Only by reason of
the studied aloofness by the
United States delegation is
there any impression conveyed
that the Chinese Communist
government is regarded as
guilty of one of the worst
crimes in all history. So far

He chased her. knocked her

He ran out and drove away,
