gress tried to prevent such ex-
changes with the Battle Act
which provided that any re-
cipient Of American aid who
dealt with the Reds In stra-
tegic materials would lose its
share of assistance. But Con-
gress no longer has q voice in
this matter. It surrendered to
the executive branch. which Is
now conducting our foreign
relations, the exclusive right
to decide which strategic items
can be exported by our allies
to the, Reds without losing
American aid.
The Soviet and satellite in
dustries are geared for war
production with only q tiny
percentage of output devoted
to consumers goods. The Mus
covites are believed to have
pledged substantial aid to Chi
nese war industries which are,
still in their infancy. China
has an enormous reservoir Of
manpower. but it must have
industries on her own territory
to effectively serve the Com
munist expansionist aims. The
Chinese Communist armies
were saved from destruction at
the hands Of American forces
in the summer of 1851 when,
Russia inspired a cease-fire
agreement. They had used
most of their ammunition. ar
tillery and tanks in their 1850
winter offensive and the single
communication line from the
u. S. S. r. to Manchuria could
not carry sufficient replace
ment hardware to fight the
impending American offensive.
Although the British have
excluded Red China from
shipments Of strategic mate
rials under the new regula-
tions, there is nothing to
prevent the Kremlin ordering
trans-shipment of strategic in
dustrial goods to its Chinese
allies. The Russians cannot
afford a repetition of the 1851
occurrences.

eyes caught sight Of the head
lines about Secretary Of De-
fense Wilson's parable anent
unemployed dogs and unem-
ployed folks.
# hard work could win an
election-and sometimes it is a
deciding factor-then George
Bender should win in spite of
what appears to be a Demo-
cratic trend and despite still
unhealed wounds in his party
left by the primary battle with
William Saxbe. He is every
where. exuding his friendly
personality along with his
campaign speeches.
On the other hand there is
little of the Dale Carnegie
technique about Tom Burke.
He is amiable and friendly
with small groups and has
visited every county in the
State. But he won't put out
that extra bit of folksiness
characteristic of most politi-
cians-and certainly so of
George Bender. To the Demo-
cratic candidate a crowd is
something to make a speech
to. not to shake hands with
individually. Sidewalks are to
walk along to get from here to
there, not to stop and shake
hands with one person after
another you never saw before
to ask them to vote for you.
This lack may be made up
by the influence of Gov. Frank
Lausche, who is running for a
fifth term as Governor and
rated to win bigger than ever
against his Republican oppo-
nent, Mayor James A. Rhodes
Of Columbus. Gov. LauSche
has never gone out Of his way
much to give a lift to other
Democratic candidates. be they
running for State Office or for
Congress or for President. He
is doing perhaps a wee bit
more for Tom Burke, who sue
ceeded him as mayor of Cleve-
land. He goes so far as to
tell why he appointed the Sem
tor to the Taft vacancy, but
does not bring his spiel up to
date to tell why the Senator
ought to keep on filling the
seat. He closes with q friendly
nod and wave of the hand:
Good luck. Tom"
For Gov. Lausche--well,
that's going. pretty far.

This is the second in a series
of articles presenting the rec
ord of the Democrats in the
role of the opposition during
the last tho years. The Stars

sible By the courtesy of the
NeD York Herald Tribune.
During the past many
months. I have been travelling
constantly throughout the
State of Illinois. I have seen
acute distress among the
miners Of my State. I have
seen the effects Of q bad
slump in the farm implement
industry-and in many other
businesses layoffs. shorter work
weeks, loss Of pay. All told.
there are 100000 people re-
ported out Of jobs in Illinois.
Now no matter what you

Of economy-whether it be

"healthy readjustment" these
people have been deprived Of
their livelihood. They still have
families to feed and clothe.
They still have the rent to pay.
Thousands Of them have al

ployment insurance benefits
more than three times as many
as last year.
Fancy names like healthy
readjustment" will not pay
the bills for these people; nor
will they alter the suffering
and distress I have seen.
For being concerned about
these harsh and unpleasant
facts, we Democrats have been
sharply accused by the Repub-
licans Of trying to talk the
country into a depression for
our own political advance
ment.
This seems to me not only
unfair, but a poor reward for
our efforts to make them sue

When the Government pre-
sents q case to q Federal court.
It is entitled to q fair trial,
and the Judge who tries the
case is usually obligated to
disoualify himself II he has
previously expressed an opin-
ion adverse to either party In
the case.
This is the rule and the Gus
tom In American jurisprud-
ence. Yet it is an amazing ex-
ample of the prejudices that,
exist today where anti Com.
munist controversies are in
volved to find the United
States Attorney himself under
attack when he asks for the
disqualification Of q judge.
There should be no surprise
that the propriety Of Judge
Youngdahl sitting as a, judge
in the case of Owen Latti-
more-indicted for denying
under oath that he was a
promoter Of Communist in
terests"-is being questioned
by Leo Rover, United States
Attorney. At the time the
first ruling was handed down
moro than 18 months ago. this
writer reported the reaction
among many members Of the
bar to the Youngdahl decision
and particularly to the judges
gratuitous comments which
had nothing to do with the
indictments he was passing on
but had a lot to do with re-
vealing his tendency to pass
Judgment on the merits Of the
case itself even though no
testimony had as yet been
presented.
On May 6, 1853. this cor
respondent wrote in a Wash
ington dispatch as follows:
when United States Dis
trict Judge Luther Youngdahl
the former Governor OF
Minnesota who was appointed
by President Truman in a
political maneuver that caused
quite a furry in Republican
ranks in the Northwest
threw out four of seven counts
in the indictment against
Owen baltimore. quite a lot
of curiosity and puzzlement
was aroused in legal circles
here. For the judge was not
content to dismiss the four
counts but in his written
opinion said there was 'Seri-
Gus doubt in the courts mind

money is q valuable asset IN
stirring up interest and get
ting out the vote. The familiar
apathy Of by-elections is mani
fest again this year.
The 1O0-per-cent Humphrey
backing also means something
else. It is useful to "dis-
courage" contributions to the
Democratic candidate. There
was a case illustrative Of this.
A manufacturer friendly with
Tom Burke arranged a lunch
con to see about raising some
money for the Democratic
Senator's campaign. Word Of
this got around. His company
sells to one of the Hanna en-
terprises. The luncheon was
called of. That has to happen
only once for the idea to get
across.
It is a temptation in reach
ing for q parallel to recall the
political tradition OF Mark
Hanna--because Of the M. A.
Hanna Co. with which George
Humphrey was so long identi-
fed. Mark Hanna, you know
from your reading. was the
Cleveland industrialist who be-
came q powerful and skillfu
political operator and finally
made his friend. William Nc
Kinley. President Of the United
States.
This is not to suggest any
such ultimate eminence for
George Bender, or to compare
the Humphrey political interest
and activity with that Of Mark
Hanna-at least not quite yet.
Rather the Humphrey role is
more comparable TO the posi-
tion once occupied by another

win receive scant attention
from the administration and
the public until after the Mo-
vember 2 election.
Meanwhile, there Is q super
ficial lull on the international
political scene. But the Mus
covites are continuing their CO.
existence campaign very sue
cessfully. Trade between West
ern Europe and the countries
behind the Iron Curtain Is
expanding to Russia's advan-
tage.
Last Wednesday Britain an
nounced lifting Of the export
ban on a dozen strategic items.
The British said this was done
with the full approval OF the
American authorities. The
items included certain types
of machine tools, turbines and
ball bearings. These tools are
highly important to the Soviet
and satellite arms manufac-
turing plants. This means that
some Of our industrial secrets
are going behind the Iron Cur
tain, since we share with our
NATO allies all modern indus
trial developments for arms
production.
Our European allies are SO
convinced that the solution Of
the East-West tension lies in
trade exchanges that they fail
to see that the Reds are per-
fecting their already powerful
military machinery with the
assistance of their intended
victims. The British leaders
seem to have overlooked the
fact that the u. s. s. r. has

1.-THE curiosity arises be-
cause it is being asked: How
can a Federal judge who has
expressed doubt about the
three remaining counts In an
indictment give a fair trial
to the Government OF the
United States In prosecuting
the case when he has already
prejudged the issues? Wouldn't
q juror be disqualified II he
expressed publicly such. doubts
before a trial took place?
"There is some question also
as to whether Judge Young
dahl has as yet been finally
assigned to the baltimore case
for trial but, If he has been.
then it would not be surpris-
ing If the Government asked
that another judge be assigned
in view Of this prejudgment.
Judge Youngdahl's opinion
arouses puzzlement not be-
cause of the things he said but
the things he apparently
omitted to say or to take into
account in his formal opinion.
Thus. although it wasn't
necessary for Judge Young
dahl to do so to make his
point, he declared that the
Tydings committee Of the Sen
ate had investigated the
charges against Owen Latti-
more and concluded there was
no foundation to the charges
against him. One would have
thought in all fairness that
the Judge would have taken
cognizance Of the investigation
made by a second Senate COM
mittee under the chairman
ship of Senator McCarran Of
Nevada, which also investi-
gated the same charges and
spent an even longer time
doing it and then came up
with the conclusion that Owen
baltimore was a conscious,
articulate instrument Of the
Soviet conspiracy in the United
States To state the conclu-
sion of one committee and
omit the conclusion Of the
other committee is to cause
more puzzlement.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. - An
important part in the United
States Senate election story
in this key State is being
played by a powerful industrial
figure. He is keeping in the
background Of the concededly
nip-and-tuck battle between
Senator Thomas A. Burke.
Democrat, who now occupies
the old Senator Taft seat, and
Representative George H. Ben
der, Republican, who is trying
to get 1t.
But everybody operating in
any way in the campaign OF
either senatorial candidate Is
conscious Of the influence Of
George M. Humphrey, who is
in the public eye nationally in
another capacity-as Secretary
of Treasury in the Eisenhower
administration.
Mr.. Humphrey, who is from
this city. Is former president
Of the M. A. Hanna Co. of
Cleveland and formerly iden-
titled with other industrial and
financial enterprises. He gave
his backing to George Bender
in the bitter primary fight in
the Republican Party In which
the Ohio House member beat
william B. Saxbe, Speaker Of
the Ohio General Assembly.
In that encounter Secretary
Humphrey threw mis- weight
into the balance. It is a lot
of weight. His word is virtu-
ally law with many in Ohio's
Industrial and financial COM
munity.
He Is doing the same. only
more so, in George Bender's
struggle with Tom Burke, for
mer Mayor Of Cleveland. What
this means practically, among
other things, is that purses

from a nearby State. Andrew
w. Mellon, Secretary of Treas
ury in the Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover Republican ad-
ministrations, came to exercise
considerable influence for a
time in Pennsylvania politics
and his influence in that key
State also gave him a voice in
national politics.
Big stakes are involved in
the ke-Bender affair in
Ohio. They are more immedi-
ate and pressing for the Eisen-
hover administration and for
Secretary Humphrey as part
Of that administration and de-
voted to its success than are
any considerations of personal
political power for the Secre-
tary. Republicans are anxious
to recapture this seat now held
by Democrats. They must make
such inroads if they are to keep
control Of the Senate. That
explains why George Hum
phrey has enlisted himself per-
sonally in this political fight
and it explains the pressures
he is resorting to in his effort
to help George Bender. Unless
this administration can stay in
power the industrial and f1nan-
cial element represented by
Secretary Humphrey will not
be able to achieve its objec-
tives.
Under ordinary circum-
stances and by all the rules Of
politics, George Bender should
win in Ohio. But circumstances
are not normal this year. not In

publicans seem worried most

Rash Of Job layoffs
In Maryland Hurts
Employment Picture
BY the Associossd Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.-Em-
ployment in Maryland had its
ups and downs last week with a
rash of layoffs in three areas off,
setting q brighter picture in Bal
timore.
Even so, on a State wide basis,
the week apparently was one OF
the years better ones, employ
ment-wise.
There were layoffs in the Fred
erick, Salisbury and Westminster
areas. In Baltimore, however,
there was a sharp drop In the
number Of new applications for
jopless pay.
The State Department Of En-
ployment Security said the
sharpest fluctuation was in the
Westminster area. 1t had 334
applications last week compared
to AZ the week before. Thes de-
partment said the increase was
due to temporary layoffs in the
apparel and shoe industries.
The previously announced clos
ing of a garment factory was
mostly blamed for a Jump Of Ill
to 191 in applications in the
Frederick area. A Salisbury
boost of SO to 1856 was attributed
to slacken1ng of OF the canning
season.
Baltimore applications drop
ped from 2,543 to 2.082.
There were 3,7O6 new appIlca-
tions throughout the State last
week, among the lowest figures
of the year. The 1868 unem-
| ployment benefit checks paid out
were the fewest since the week
ended January 2. The $552,855
| paid out was the least since the
week ended January 16.
