"The women in Washington
don't wear hats, they wear
millinery" observed a feminine
guest at Admiral and Mrs.
Robert B. Carney's party yes
terday. "You never see broad
brimmed hats in New York, but
then you never go to a garden
party in New York, F" she unused.
This is like a London scene"
She was right. The sloping,
n1anicured, green lawn sur
rounding Admiral's House, on
top Of Observatory Hill had a
charming garden party look.
It was well dotted with white
and gold Navy and Marine

by the lowered prints and
pastel dresses of the women.
The day was perfect. The sun
was shining, but the trees pro-
vided ample shade. White uni

The SignerS OF the London
agreement are exulting that
after a nightmarish week they
finally got together and ap-
proved a new treaty to replace
the European Defense Com
munity killed by the French
National Assembly two months
ago.
It is a good beginning. But
there still is the question of
obtaining the approval Of the
respective parliaments before
West Germany can be given
her sovereignty and rearmed.
And this will take some time.
There will be no difficulty in
obtaining the approval Of the
United States Senate next
January. It is unlikely that
the Democrats would attempt
to toss q monkey wrench into
the administration wheels on
such a matter. Bipartisanship
is expected to remain the
watchword on international
affairs during the next Con-
gress.
It Is also safe to forecast
that the parliaments OF Brit
ain, the Benelux countries and
Italy will approve the new
pact.
Premier Mendes-France will
have a test vote this week in
the National Assembly and he
is expected to win, particularly
If he stakes the question Of
confidence in his government
on this preliminary vote.
But Chancellor Adenauer is
expected to face quite a fight.
The London announcement
gave the public only what it
is supposed to know. There
is a feeling that some partic-
ular clauses may have been
withheld in order not to rouse
the West German citizens. For
instance, in the first London
report before M. Mendes-
France nearly caused the con-
ference to founder. 1t was
stated that steps should be

DENVER.-Democrats of the
Mountain States say they will
largely pitch their campaigns
on the great regional issue of
water.
The life-giving streams of
the Pacific slope arise among
the snow-capped peaks of
Colorado, Wyoming. New Mex
leo and Utah. Together with
parched Arizona. these States
have long been in a running
battle with the rich giant, Cal
ifornia, which under the far
sighted leadership of Earl
Warren has reached out to in
sure its own water supplies.
This war for the water,
which is vital to the normal
growth of all the States con-
cerned, is a complex affair.
It has been sharpened by the
prolonged drought that has
touched the whole area. It
is not now even a question of
further growth in many places
but a need to protect what
exists. For example, Denver
Water Board officials warned
last week end that water re-
strictions were still essential
and that the picture might
get much worse next year.

President Urged to Help 9. 0. P.
Gen. Eisenhower Accused of Refusing to Stand Up
For His Porty When 1t Needs Him for Victory

nized as natural In elections.
It has happened for decades
past when voters have ex-
pressed their reSentments. But
the way to offset it Is to get
out the apathetic vote-those
who are not resentful. This
takes organization and pre-
cinct workers. And this year
Gen. Eisenhower has failed to
inspire his own rank and file.
He has been urged again aud
again to get into the fight, but
he still seems under the spell
of the worshippers in that
New York City group which
from the beginning has told
him he was a phenomenon in
politics who needed only to
appear once or twice. smile to
the public and all would be
well at the polls. But it is
dawning on some of the anna
teur advisers that no President
can transfer his popularity to
his party in a congressional
election.
There is one thing a Repub-
lican President can do, and
that's to build up the prestige
of his party and tell people
why the Republican Party de-
serves their allegiance and
support. Democratic Presidents
like Franklin Roosevelt and
Harry Truman worked hard
between campaigns. They knew
that 80 per cent of the voters
make up their minds before
the national conventions do
the nominating. But Gen. Eli
senhower evidently didn't know
this-or nobody told him the
facts Of POLITICAL life. If they
did, he must have been indit-
ferent to that advice. For the
most amazing fact about the
current campaign is that Gen.
Eisenhower actually has been
the recipient of personal plea
after plea to get in and pitch
for his own party. Nothing
like this has happened before,
and that's why the Republican
Party may lose not only in
1854 but in 1856. Political bat
ties aren't won when q Presi-
dent takes a vacation during
the month of September and
much of october in an elec-
ton year.

Smashing the Red Conspiracy
Attorney General Tells How New Laws Are Providing
Death Blows for Roots of Communist Party, u S. A.

This second law should go
far toward halting a growing
abuse of the privilege against
self -incrimination. While no
citizen may be compelled to
testify against himself. he
violates his duty as q citizen
when he suppresses other facts
about criminal activity known
to him.
Persons enmeshed in the
Communist conspiracy have
wanted to break with it, once
they learned its real aim of
destroying this Nation as we
know it. Some have done SO,
and the knowledge they have
brought the department has
helped immeasurably in the
battle to make this Nation
secure.
Others have been afraid Of
prosecution. They have been
sickened by the true meaning
of the Communist conspiracy.
Yet, by maintaining silence
they have failed to rejoin the
ranks of loyal Americans. The
immunity law provides a new
inducement for them to go to
the FBI and tell their story.
Director j. Edgar Hoover Of
the F'BI has revealed that
some Communists and former
Communists are availing them
selves of this opportunity.
Congress also provided strong
new deterrents against subver-
sion. Communist leaders here

to advocate the forcible over

already vulnerable. an ODM
spokesman said:
Before any company is ap-
proved for tax benefits, it will
be required to meet ODM's
standards for the dispersion OF
industry"
That would mean locating the
proposed plant either in a
smaller community or-if in a
major metropolitan area--fal
enough from the industrial cen
ter to afford relative security
from a bombing attack.
The ODM spokesman pointed
out that. since the industria
expansion program is in the
tapering-off stage, most Of the
future defense plant expansion
will consist of small units.
Since 1851, the spokesman
noted, about 80 per cent of al
new industrial plants have beer
located on dispersed sites.
ODM said the trend will not
be changed by the special tax

Mr.. Tompkins assured me,
1.-The special staff will insure
that the press of other duties
does not delay this job. At
torneys already hard at work
on the program will be able to
devote their full energies to it
without interruption"
The department will not take
any action against any organi-
zation on the basis of rumor
or uncorroborated evidence.
Consequently. this task force
faces long hours of tedious le-
gal and investigative work.
Close cooperation with the
FBI is assured.
Infiltration is not a new
weapon of the Communist
conspiracy. Neither is labor a
new target. Communists al
ways preach that control of la
Dor unions is of prime impor-
tance in the development of a
Communist revolution, partic-
ularly in this country.
They reaffirmed this aim and
method at a national meeting
just q year ago. The FBI has
reported that major Commu-
mist inroads have been made
in some unions in the mari
time, mining, electrical and
communications fields.
The FBI reports that a great
effort is being made to place
Communists of all walks of life
in strategic industries which.
if disrupted, could materially
affect not only our defense
production but our day-to-day
living.
A similar investigation by
the Justice Department Is un-
der way on a much broader
front in view of another new
law. That is the so-called i'm
munity law. Under it, immu-
nifty from prosecution may be
granted by a court to witnesses
in treason, espionage and other

otherwise refuse to testify on
