saving Asia from the domina-
tion of one nation---a tyranny
averted with the help Of
Chang Kai-shek's free China.
Today the aims of Moscow
and Peiping are alarmingly
near realization. Only a few
hardy optimists doubt that
all of Indo- China will be under
the Red flag within a few
months. Indonesia is OBJ
yiously being corroded from
within and will fall easily
without recourse to arms. It's
weak and worried government
is already breaking ties with
the West and looking to Peiping
for sustenance. Little Thai
land alone continues to stand
firmly against the Red hordes.
but its survival in a sea of
communism Is very unlikely.
We have tried to counter
the Red waves, a little, by the
creation of SEATO last month.
But the weakness of SEATO
lies in its provisions for un-
limited debate whenever ag-
gression threatens. Moreover,
the Reds are unlikely to use
force where subversion will do
the job. and SEATO offers
little defense against that. In
filtration and political black
mail are sufficient weapons
for the Red conspirators.
The Communist task will be
much easier when they are
certain that they can count on
at least a benevolent neutrality
from India's vast millions.
That is the least they seem
likely to get from Mr.. Nehru.
The fact that the United
States prodded Britain and the
Netherlands into granting in.

The attack represents q

Mr.. Hartman, who las not

He is angry but calm, SO far.
Perhaps he can influence the
effect of the Ives charges by
the way he handles himself
and shapes his answers.
The amateurs are much in
evidence around him, but
Judge Sam Rosenman, the
cider Roosevelt's expert ghost
writer, is there. There are
also shrewd men available to
Mr.. Hartman like David Du-
binsky, the labor leader, and
lawyer Monroe Goldwater,
law partner of the late Boss
Flynn of the Bronx.
President Eisenhower is in
town for two days for some
non-political speeches and a
good deal of politicking on the
side. 1t is hoped that he will
help put some stamina and
speed into the organization.
His congressional fortunes are
not directly involved: if Sena-
tor Ives is beaten for Governor
he will return to the Senate:
if he wins he will appoint
an Eisenhower Republican.

Oh which national conventions

NEW YORK.-The way New
York State Republicans look
/, at it, they are the victims of a
political ground swell that is
appearing all over the coun-
try. They feel it is not di-
rected at their candidates per-
sonally or at the Dewey ad-
ministration.
They will argue vehemently
that the polls now running so
surprisingly strongly against
them are highly exaggerated.
But the swell is admitted and
they have found it difficult to
combat, more difficult actu-
ally, they think, than if it
were worse.
$ The present personal attacks
against Averell Harrim n.
Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor. are their answer.
These attacks are off to a
slow start and go back "a
years-a distance which seems
even longer to a generation

preston and world war. It is
said at G. o. P. headquarters

JaWaharlal Nehru, the In

tual dictator of some $50 mil
lion people insofar as India's
foreign relations are concerned,
has begun a To-day conference
with Red China's dictator Mao
Tse-tung and his polished and

sequences for the future and

Mr.. Nehru is not a Commu-
mist. He is merely a Commu-
mist sympathizer. Like many of
similar theology, he is much
concerned -publicly-with the
sufferings of the masses. In
India there is about as much
endemic poverty and suffering
as there is in China, but there
is little Mr.. Nehru can do about
1t. He could, of course, have
openly sided with the Western

danger, and who covered 1t up
when it was brought to their
attention. They made the
greatest error that an admin
istration could make in this
very important field. You
know what it was. They
failed to heed the warnings of
j. Edgar Hoover and the FBI.
Let me give you an exam
pie. Between 1899 and l945.
the FBI laid reports on the
desks of top agencies in this
Government four different
times regarding the members
of the Hiss espionage ring.
Four times those reports were

American people lost conf
dence in the Truman admins
tration's ability or will to deal
with this problem"
But Mr.. Nixon's is a. single
voice. That's what all the
Republican speakers should
have been talking about for
months. Apart from Korea
and Communism, the big issue
in 1852 was corruption. The
housing scandals since revealed
are the most shocking in
American history. But the
Republicans have. not put the
responsibility for this where it
belongson the Democratic
Congress which passed the
loose laws and the Truman
regime which administered
those laws even more loosely
than they were written.
The Republicans have an
excellent case. politically speak
ing, while the Democrats have
defensively very little to offer.
Then why aren't the Republi-
cans winning? That's a good
question and maybe in the next
few days the Republicans will
be posing it to themselves from
the White House down to the
precinct workers and perhaps
they will be presenting their
case more forcefully than
they have in the past several
months.

gigantic enterprise with influ-
ence and power of staggering

3. It Is in the interest of the
Government for iva to sur
vive-because this agency (un-
like the Dixon-YateS combine)
repays the Government every

tions over 40-year period.

pays such frequent lip service.
Unfortunately, this Dixon
Yates deal is not an isolated
example. In fact. the weaken
ing of IVA is just a part OF
the larger "give-away" pro-
gram, which includes such
valuable assets as the offshore
oil reserves, the exploitation of
atomic energy, and the bene-
fits from other power projects

to the Central Valley of Cali

from free enterprise" At
least two of the most impor-
tant elements are missing
namely, competition and risk.
There was no competitive bid

Senhower administration had
not taken prompt measures to
steady the national economy
and cushion the shock that
came with the ending of the
Korean war.
Never has so much been done
in such a short time to avert
a major depression. European
statesmen who are detached
from American politics private
ly s1no the praises of the Eli
senhoWer administration and
say it has aVerted a world wide
economic disaster that could
have given the Communists
a bigger chance than ever be-
fore to penetrate the countries
of the free world.
Take the highly emotional
issue of peace or war. In 1852
the Nation was troubled not
SO mucfl by the number ac-
tually engaged in Korea but
by the potential numbers about
to be drafted for a prolonged
war.
The Eisenhower administers
tion has reduced the draft calls
and has pledged that it will
not go into more wars without
the consent of the peoples
agents--the Congress of the
United States.
An important campaign was
won in 1916 by the Democrats
on the issue of peace. Today
peace is as deeply emotional an
issue as it ever was, but one
hears little about it on the
stump and in the precincts
where the voters are soon to
be modified.
Take the question of Com
munists in Government. Vice
President Nixon has just ex-
pressed it effectively in saying:
"We find that the issue in
1852 was. not the issue of the
relative loyalty of the Demo-
Gratis and the Republicans.
That was never the issue then
it is not the issue now. The
issue was not the loyalty of
those in high places. It was
their blindness.

fortunately, in the previous

confirmed TWAS own esti-
mates. For this year, admit
ting that the need existed, the
administration came up with
proposal to solve that need
without adding to the public
debt" Their plan was the
Dixon Yates deal. This is how
it works:
Two utility holding compa-
nies-Middle South Utilities,
headed by Mr.. Dixon, and the
Southern Company, headed by
Mr.. Yates-would join together
and build a 650.000 kiloWatt
plant at West Memphis, Ark.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion would contract with this
plant for all it's power. How
ever, the power would not be
delivered to Acc. Instead it
would be delivered to TVA at
Memphis, Tenn. across the
Mississippi River from West
Memphis, Ark. There the pow
er would go into the regular
IVA system, lighting homes
and turning the wheels of in
dustry at Memphis-but theo-
retically it would be replace
ment' for a similar amount of
power being furnished by IVA
to Acc at Paducah. KY.
In other words. the plan
would distort the functions of
Acc from splitting the atom
to power brokering, which
three of the five Acc commits
sioners thought was a bad
idea in itself, and said so pub
licly. OF course, the IVA di-
rectors opposed it.

This is the election that the
Republicans deserve to win.
But, If the reports from far
and wide are to be credited.
this is the election they are
going to lose. A highly placed
Republican in the Eisenhower
administration said privately
to this writer the other day:
t"If the Democrats get control
of Congress. it will not be be-
cause they won the election
but because the Republicans
lost it,"
The distinction goes to the
{ heart of present-day political
customs and practices.
For the American people
! have not yet been told why
they should be grateful to the
Republican administration at
Washington. and it may be
wondered whether down at the
grass roots there will be ade-
quate organization work done
between now and election day
to get the simple truth to the
voters.
The truth is best expressed
by this statement: The Ameri-
can people were saved from
the worst economic crash in
history when the ending of
the Korean war forced a cur
tailment of Government ex-
penditures and started a down.
ward spiral of unemployment.
Timely measures prevented
the unemployment rolls from
reaching more than about 5
per cent. This is a relatively
low figure.
It is true that there are
three million unemployed in
America now, but there were
close to nine million in 1884
when the Roosevelt admins
tration succeeded in winning
the biggest majority in Con-
gress that the Democratic
Party ever had.
What the unemployed today
may not realize is that their
best chance of employment is
in the steady building of a
stable economy.
What the so million en-
ployed do not realize is that
the 81 million figure of un-
employed would have grown
