tens of thousands Of tons we
have sent to Indo- China. But
when we figure out that 10000
rifles in boxes represent only

particular shipment cannot be
denied. This cargo alone has
the potential Of arming most
of the would-be Communist

America.
The explanation Of the
Guatemalan government that
it needed these weapons for its
own armed forces and that
sovereign Guatemala can pur-
chase military equipment
wherever it chooses is flimsy.
The whole Guatemalan regu.
lar army consists Of no more
than 1000 men. The militia is
about 5000 strong. These
forces already have necessary
equipment. The 2,000-ton
shipment contains enough war
material to arm every adult in
Guatemala between the ages
of Is and 40. And that surely
is not the intention Of the
Guatemalan government.

The Republican rank and

that no surprises in the eco

War in any form would, of
course, be legitimate ground

Despite the leveling of

considerable gamble with re-

On Sunday I saw a televiSed

Douglas. Democrat. Of Illinois
and Senator Daniel, Democrat,
Of Texas were the principal
contributors. The subjt :; was

had the impression that no
body was speaking quite can
didly, and that there was an
undercurrent Of tension that
but for the national Audience
might have flared into ex-
treme bitterness.
Senator Daniel, although he
has argued for continued "sep-
arate but equal" education,
took a moderate line in the
Senate, and was probably
picked to make the national
representation for that reason.
Senator Douglas assured us
that he did not want to re-
open the ancient North South
quarrel; he soothingl, as

decision; but could not hide a
censorious attitude which the
Southerners on the panel were

Douglas decried these polls as
registering only the fear-in-
spired desire of the colored to
avoid a clash with the domi-
nant race. He spoke of .'pres-

In my minds eye I saw this
debate occurring, not on a ma

in every Southern school dis

members of school boards. di-

I did not think such debates
were likely to be as inhibited
as the one to which I was lis

the real effect would be upon
race relations; whether the
registered opposition of the
colored majority was not an
instructive apprehension that

time. So the end Of the dis

divided mind.

Third. the formation Of q

All these moves are being

alton reveals, on the other
hand, that the sentiment for q
strong policy Of reorganization
Of the whole French command
is growing and that, If the Ge-
neva Conference fails to pro-
duce an armistice. q conpre-
hensive program Of military
action can be expected. This
calls for an acceptance Of the
American offer to help train
the native troops in IndO-
China and also for a command
setup which Is completely de-
void of political interference
from Paris. At any time now
an announcement Of the with
drawal Of Gen. Navarro from
Indo- China and the naming Of
a new commander in chief
may be expected.
The countermoves planned
assuming an unwillingness on
the part of the Communists to
agree to an arrnistice-involve
not only American co-opera-
ton in military training mis-
sions but the stepping up Of
supplies of a military charac-
ter. Also there is in the
works the plan referred to by
Secretary Of State Dulles at
his press conference in WASH
ington to bring the United
Nations into the picture as an
instrument for the protection
of the integrity and independ-
ence of Laos and Cambodia,
both of which countries have
been invaded by Communist
troops from across the border
in Wet Nam. Thailand, which
has been threatened, will take
the lead on the idea in the
u. N.
So the pressure on the Com
muniSts is threefold:
First, the American-French
talks on a military plan to aid
the defenders of Indo-Ch

be supplemented by staff talks

ter before Congress can ad-

Democratic leaders no longer
believe they can enforce their
proposals to raise the personal
income tax exemptions. The
liberals will still fight portions
Of the tax bill, especially the
dividend tax cut, and they will
be aided by Senator Byrd,
Democrat, Of Virginia and
Senator Williams, Republican,
Of Delaware, who think it Is
ridiculous to finance tax cuts
out Of q bigger deficit. Gen.
orally speaking, however, the
principal trouble with the tax

If the Czechs have abso-
lutely nothing to 'say--he is

Senator Case called atten-

GENEVA, May 26.-They are
heading toward an armistice IN
Indo- China - provided the
Communists win agree. The
technical work and the PLAN
ming necessary to work out a
military line in Wet Nam which
can be militarily safeguarded
have begun. But the Commu-
nists give no sign Of concur
renee because the latest devel-
opments in the French Parlia-
ment open the door to a further
exploitation Of the French sit
uation by Communist stalling.
Just as allied unity began
to make its appearance, with
the splendid statements by
Prime Minister Churchill in
the British Parliament about
American-BritiS cooperation,
the French Chamber of Depu-
ties started to expose once more
the weakness Of the present
French cabinet. The steady
pressure Of the opposition
parties and elements in the
government coalition to force
q debate on Indo-China is
continuing. Once the debate
occurs, the present govern
ment in Paris may fall and
then negotiations here would
be delayed.
This correspondent talked
today with one of the leaders
OF the opposition group of the
French Parliament, who in
sisted that the next govetn-
ment would be more united"
than the present regime. What
he meant, Of course, is united"
behind the ratification Of the
European Defense Community
agreement, postponed until
July, which is a long way off.
