Many People Believe Mccarthy
Suggested Way to Get Rid of McCorthyisnn: Drive Al
Communists and Their DuPes From Government

Is million Republicans and q
lot Of former Democrats who
voted Republican on this issue
in 1852 who can be driven
away from the party.
The odd part Of 1t is that
the tactics Of the anti-Mc-
Carthyites are strengthening
rather than weakening that
following. This is because the
anti-M c Carthy spokesman

fundamental issue. They spend

They overlook the fact that
there Is only one way to dis
solve the Mccarthy crusade
and turn the Wisconsin Sen
ator toward other pursuits
and that's for the admins
tration itself to do a convinc-
ing anti Communist lob.
The anti-Mc Carthy spokes-
men talk much about the brow
beating Of a general in a COM
mittee Session-as If vigorous
cross-examination Of witnesses
were novel-but they say very
little about the indifference of
a former President of the
United States to the Harry
Dexter White case If espio-
mage set before him by the
Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton. They have conveniently
forgotten that Mr.. Truman
sent White two letters of COM
mendation long after the FBI
gave him the facts about the
espionage. To this day many

Hiss as possibly innocent, and
they ignore the evidence that

years the Democratic admin

their ranks.

For the first time since he
became Secretary Of State the
relations Of John Foster Dulles
with his friends and supporters
in Congress have become
strained.
Mr.. Dulles policies at the
Berlin conference and his adj
ministration of the State De-
partment are now under close
congressional scrutiny.
Many Republican and DEM
ocratic Congressman who play
a leading part In foreign af-
fairs expressed unrestrained
criticism Of Mr.. Dulles to his
face shortly before he left for
the Inter-American Conference
at Caracas. They complained
that he permitted the U.S.SR.
a spectacular victory when he
agreed to meet the Chinese
Communists at Geneva to dis
cusS the guerrilla war In Indo-
China In addition to the Ko-
rean problem. This, say his
critics in Congress. is tanta-
mount to an opportunity for
Red China to shoot her way"
into the United Nations. And
they accuse him bluntly of
being a poor horse trader since
he received no counterpart in
exchange-not even a peace
treaty with Austria.
Our legislators apparently
are taking little stock in the
much-advertised solidarity of
the Western common front
which was shown at Berlin by
the stands of Foreign Minis
tiers Bidault and Eden. Within
a few days after the adjourn
ment Of the Berlin conference
every report coming out of
Paris indicated strongly that
France is determined to seek
q peace at any price in Indo-
China and will join the
U. S. 8. r. and Britain in de-
handing the admission Of the
lawless Peiping government to
the United Nations.
The French people are now
conditioned to accept any
terms short of complete sur
render to the Wet Mimi in
order to get out of the Indo-
Chinese war. And no pledge

Free Entry for Mexican Reds
That Is, if There Are Any; New Law Permits Big Farmers
To Hire Them at Border Without Approval of Mexico

Much Of the Republican
campaign that produced the
present administration was
predicated on the proposition
that the Communists will get
us II we don't watch out. The
Republicans were elected to do
the watching out. So they
have Just enacted legislation
that could result in an untold
number Of Communists set
ting down among us or float
ing freely back and forth
across our border. This Is true
if there is anything in the
theory underlying our present
immigration laws, namely, that
all foreigners are subject to
the utmost suspicion. The new
legislation seems to absolve
Mexicans Of this suspicion.
They are needed to perform
the labor on the big Western
and Southwestern farms that
American labor Is unwilling to
perform at the low wages paid.
Therefore, 1t Is deemed safe to
take q chance with them.
Hundreds Of thousands Of
MexicanS have been crossing
the border in recent years to
engage In this work and many
other kinds Of work, much Of
it far from the border. as far
as the State of Michigan.
Many Of these enter illegally.
They are the so-called wet
backs. Our border patrol is
expected to catch them and
send them back, and this was
done to the number of $780,
149 last year. But an equal
number escaped the patrol, 1t
Is said. The patrol, inciden-
TALLY. has had its operations

curtailed by reduced appro-
priations.
Those that enter legally have
heretofore done so under an
agreement between the Mex
ican government and our own,
designed, so far as the Mexican
government is concerned. to
protect its citizens against ex-
ploitation by American en-
ployers. The agreement hav-
ing expired this year, the Mex
lean government has sought
stronger safeguards for its ma
tionalS. It has wanted better
housing, sanitation, health and
safety provisions for the Mex
leans and their families, in
Guiding children. The new
agreement not being achieved
and the working season having
arrived, the farmers-some Of
them large corporate concerns
have sought and obtained
permission to hire Mexicans at
the border without the ap-
prevail Of the Mexican govern
ment. That is the legislation
just passed by the United
States Congress.
The bill authorizes Federal
aid to the farmers in recruiting
and transporting the Mexican
laborers. In the past this has
averaged about $40 per work.

Democrats Confident Of Victory
Winning However, Would Give Them Responsibility Without
Power Plus Opportunity to Make Eisenhower Look Good

Democrats at this point are
confident they win regain con-
troll Of Congress in the fall
elections, but many Of them
believe that result would only
serve to strengthen President
Eisenhower as a candidate for
reelection in 1856.
They reason that a victory
in November will give them re-
sponsibility without power.
They expect that the Presi-
dent would offer them a mod
crate program they would nee
essarily support. He would
then appear, it is argued, a
stronger and more stable
President than he looks right
now.
Fresh in their memory, too,
Is what Harry Truman accom-
plished in 1913 with the Re-
publican-controlled 80th Con-
gress as his whipping boy. No
body thinks Eisenhower will
turn into that type of cam
paigner, but Of course Con-
gress controlled by the oppo-
sition would be a made-to-or-
der scapegoat for his short
comings.
Rather surprisingly some
Democrats of proved political
prescience put Senator Nc
Carthy in the list of their
party's present assets.

David Lowrence

Adlai Stevenson and the
Democratic politicians are pur-
suing what they believe to be
q clever strategy Of divide and
conquer" It's q plan to split
the Republican Party on the
anti Communist issue and per-
haps even force the formation
of q third party, as in 1912,
so that the Democrats can win
easily in 1856.
Unfortunately, some Re-
publicans on the Eastern Sea-
board who have oversimplifled
the Mccarthy controversy, as
involving merely Q contest be-
tween President Eisenhower
and the Wisconsin Senator, are
falling for this strategy and
are unwittingly alternating q
large Republican vote which,
having nowhere else to 60, can
be forced into q third party.
For the anti Communist
issue will not disappear II Mr..
Eisenhower listens to those
who want him to have a knock
down, drag-out fight with the
Wisconsin Senator and, as 1t
Is usually phrased, assert his
leadership"
The practical side is that
there are many millions of
voters in America who think
that the Truman adminiStra-
ton, as well as the Roosevelt
administration, covered up the
facts about the Communists in
Government and did not take
the necessary measures to
ferret them out.
All the suggestions for deal
ing with the Wisconsin Sen
ator which are being advanced
by the anti-McCarthy wing of
the Republican Party, aided
and abetted by the Demo-
cratic StrategiStS. will not
erase the simple fact that ev-
cry public-opinion poll taken
since the Mccarthy crusade
began in 1850 has revealed a
substantial segment Of the Re-
publican Party in agreement
with him. The popularity
curve of Senator Mccarthy
was recorded as Of February
!, 1854. by the Gallup polling
organization as having gone
from SO per cent to so per
cent Of the voters canvassed
in both parties, Even If this
fuctuates, it is something in
politics to realize that a mans
following is so considerable. It
Is not one Senator but about

up by the preceding admin
istration. But some persons
who advise the President
promptly persuaded Mr.. Eli
senhower to pull the rug from
under his Attorney General.
This development wasn't lost
on many millions Of Repub-
licans. some Of whom in 1852
flocked to the Taft banner
only because they felt the
general was too closely allied
with the Truman administra-
ton and would never allow Its
wrongdoingN to be fully ex-
posed.
Mr.. Eisenhower can fall for
the idea that. by a public fight
with Mccarthy or his COM
mittee, he will enhance his
prestige, but practical poll
ticians in his own circle will
tell him that such q step
would be fatal. II Mccarthy
departed from the scene to-
morrow. some one else would
arise in Congress to take up
where he left of. For the
issue is not one Senator but
the coddling and nurturing
and harboring of traitors in
side the Government. and no
amount Of talk about witch
hunts" and "hysteria" will
convince many millions of
Republicans that the whole
trouble centers in q rough
and-tumble fighting Senator
from q Midwestern State. The
followers of Senator Mccarthy
believe in fighting fire with
fire, and they are not too con-
cerned II the methods" Of
the district attorney In trying
to get the facts are not al
ways gentle or polite.
There Is only one way to
render Senator Mccarthy SUI
perfluous-and that's to con-
vince the many millions Of
Republicans and former Dem
ocrats who have been i'm
pressed by the Mccarthy
crusade that communism as a
philosophy and communism
as a conspiracy have been
completely exterminated from
the policy-making Offices Of
the Government of the United
States. along with the dupes
who have consistently pooh
poohed the Communist men,

hover administration he is
dividing his party and tar
nishing the Eisenhower glamor.
They are convinced that the
issue Of Communists in Gov
eminent has ceased to appeal
to all but a vocal minority,
most Of whom were not for
Democratic aims in the first
place.
Senators in this group pro-
fess to believe that Mccarthy
the person is not as formidable
as he once was, that he is
increasingly reckless and I'M
reliable. All are agreed that
the best Democratic policy is
to let Republicans handle the
issue; they would have pre-
ferred that Adlai Stevenson
not mention him in his Miami
speech.
Otherwise. the Miami affair
was reported q great success by
Senator's in attendance, posi-
bly, because no one mentioned
the divisive issue Of segrega-
ton. It is being argued, both
North and South, that since
the Supreme Court will short
ly rule on this issue. there is
no need to quarrel over it
again.

The recent reorganization Of
the State Department has
caused much criticism in
congressional quarters; q criti-
cisrn which is likely to come
to the surface soon after Mr..
Dulles returns from Caracas.
This appears to be focused
around the stripping of his
director Of security. personnel
and passports. Scott Mcleod.
Of his control over personnel
and placing it in the hands Of
a career man, Assistant Sec.
rotary Edward T. Wales.
The situation appears as fol-
lows: When Mcleod was ap-
pointed a year ago he informed
the Secretary that he you'd
not accept the post unless he
was given control over per-
sonnet as well as security. The
two. he said, could not be di.
vorced II the security lob Is
to be done properly. Mr.. Dull
les, I understand. gave his i'm.
piled agreement. Personnel
was transferred to McLeod's
jurisdiction.
There was much criticism in
the press and on the radio If
McLeod's handling of his Job.
There was even more criticism
from the middle echelons In
the State Department. But
neither the Secretary nor his
Undersecretary, Gen. Walter
Bedell Smith, appeared to have
been dissatisfied with the new
setup.
On March 2 the Department
released the news that the per-
sonnet division had been taken
away from the director of Sc
curity. This irked many legis-
lators who maintain that II
Mcleod has done a bad Job
he should have been thanked
for his services and urged to
resign. But If his job as Sc,
curity chief has been salts
factory there was no reason
why he should be deprived Of
control over personnel. The
Secretary of State himself rec
ognized that these two branches
were interlocked when he
placed that service under Nc.
