bias. Yet it was presented In
accordance with provisions OF
a Federal law which says spe-
cifically that either party may
challenge a judge for "per-
sonal bias or prejudice either
against him or In favor Of any
adverse party"
Since when has 1t become
"scandalous" to avail oneself
Of a right granted by q spe-
ciflc statute in a criminal
case?
Judge Youngdahl says that
the affidavit Is based on the
notion that q judge who ad-
heres to the presumption that
a person is innocent until
proved guilty is unable to,
conduct a fair trial. and that
those who certified that the
Rover afiidavit was made in
good faith acted "irresponSi-
bly," and ''recklessly."
The most conspicuous flaw
in the judges new statement
is his contention that the
United States attorney had
chided him for quoting from
congressional testimony, and
he proceeds to show how Mr..
Rover, too, had offered some
excerpts from congressional
hearings in his afiidavit. But
Judge Youngdafl showed a
surprising indifference to Mr..
Rover's main point, which was
that If the judge were going to
quote from congressional hear
ings he shouldn't cite the find
ings of the Tydings Commit
tee alone and disregard totally
the findings of the McCarran-
Jenner Committee, which went
over the same ground a couple
of years later and finally asked
that baltimore be indicted for
perjury. Mr.. Rover had said
in his affidavit:
Certainly if the judge i'm
properly assigned any materi-
ality to what the Tydings
Committee found, he at least
should have noted that the
McCarran Committee - before
which the defendant was al
legged to have committed the
perjury involved herein-found
that the defendant was from
some time in the 1930s a con-
scious. articulate instrument Of

suitable occasion for o brief
analysis of what the global
organization has accomplished.
The most frequently heard
claim put forth by the One
Worlders for the U. N. is based
on the dismal affair OF Korea.
What did u. N. do there?
True. the q. N. provided q
sort of moral center around
which the foes Of aggression
could gather. The Korean re-
sistance to Communist agrees
sion. was fought under the
u. N. banner and at least
nominally under a U. N. COM
mand. But the war in fact was
fought by the United States
almost alone, and under a
United States command. The
token forces of other U. N.
member nations were Of neg
ligible effect on military OPP
erations. America and the
gallant South Koreans bore
the brunt Of the war in casual
ties, in cost and in abuse.
Generals Mark Clark, Mac
Arthur, Stratemeyer and Van
Fleet have each indicated
clearly, as a result of their
unhappy experiences in Ko-
rea fighting a bitter war
where no victory was per-
mitted, that the so-called di-
plomacy Of the U. N. definitely
precluded military victory and
was not only a handicap to the
command but even worse-an
information pipeline to the
Reds in q manner unprece-
dented in the annals of war.
What of Israel? In that ar
tificial and unhappy land the
great u. N. has in truth
brought about a tense armed
truce. a powder keg from which
little Spurts of flame are
emitted from day to day as
warning Of bigger flames to
come. No basic issues between
the Arabs and the Israelis has
been brought even near solu-
ton by the U. N. The only
positive sign is the momentary
absence Of a shooting war.
Even the refugee problem has
been abated not a whit by the

farmers face disaster because
of flexible instead Of rigid
price supports.
Nobody, of course. expects
objectivity or fairness during
a political campaign-but
The Republican Party has,
to be sure, a left and right
wing. In foreign affairs the
right wing is more nationalist
than internationalist and in
domestic affairs is for radi-
cally reducing the economic
role of Government.
But the Democratic Party
is equally split. At the last
Democratic convention the
New Deal-Fair Deal faction
tried to read the Southern
States out of the party. In
foreign affairs Democrats,
North or South, are more in
ternationalist than all Re-
publicans, and more so, as far
as I can see. than the people
Of any other country. In do
mestic policy some Democrats
are more conservative than
any Republicans.
The Eisenhower foreign pol
Icy has been consistently
backed by a majority of both
Democrats and Republicans.
On the main issues it has fol-
lowed the programs of the
previous administration. It is
not responsible for the fact
that some of these programs
have failed. EDO, initiated
under the Truman regime, was
not defeated by Republicans
but by the French National
Assembly. Contributing to its
defeat was the manner in
which Mr.. Acheson launched
German rearmament in 1850
entirely without diplomatic
preparation. MIR. Dulles con-
tributed to pulling us out, of
that jam. No Democrat could
have done better.
Some Republicans think war
with Red China is inescapable
and SO do some Democrats.
But the record of the Republic
can party in keeping us out of
war Is better than that Of the
Democrats. We were actually
at war with Red China in
Korea; we failed to win; Mr..
Truman got us in and Presi-
dent Eisenhower got us out.
The end OF active hostilities
has had some repercussions on
the economy, here as in Eu-
rop and Japan. But Demo-
cratic prophecies of a great
depression in the wake of a
Republican victory haven't
materialized. Unemployment is
minuscule compared to that
which plagued the Roosevelt
administration throughout its

Utah's outspoken Gov. ].
Bracken Lee has had his
knuckles raped by the Eisen-
hover administration. Gov.
Lees offense was his plain an
nouncement that he did not
intend to proclaim United
Nations Day" In the Beehive
State because. said he, the
q. N. isn't doing what it set out
to do.
Most Of the States observed
this United Nations Day" yes
terday. Press dispatches said
the day was observed by more
than so member nations
around the world. But II ap-
pearances are any indication,
the observance was made in
principle by the politicians
concerned, and in the breach
by the peoples Of the member
nations. For there exists no
enthusiasm and precious little
interest for the u. N. among
the general population Of the
world.
Pressure groups in the
United States keep the ideals
of the U. N. constantly before
the, people. But in European
and Asiatic nations. on both
sides Of the Iron Curtain, the
y. N. is looked upon cynically
as just another device Of power
politics to be employed as ex-
pediency dictates.
Gov. Lees attitude toward
the u. N. Is certainly not at
variance with the facts. The
initial concept Of the world
organization. Of course. was to
provide a sort of world forum
in which member nations could
thrash out their differences
and thus steer clear Of war.
And the Charter as finally
adopted provided for con-
certed action through the U. N.
itself to prevent aggression.
But the Communists have
been working the veto to death
since the U. N. began func-
tioning.

again the Judge wrote: APP
parently the McCarran Conn
mittee could discover no evi-
dence from its investigation or
the testimony Of various wit
nesses that defendant lied in
denying that he was q COM
munist, q member Of the COM
munist Party, q Soviet spy, or
q fellow-traveler.
Now the question OF what
the McCarran Committee did
or did not find as evidence to
support its findings is a matter
for presentation at a trial, and
not something to be ruled
upon by Judge Youngdahl In
analyzing the phraseology Of
the accusation or indictment
itself. It is something to be
threshed out at the trial when
witnesses for both sides are
called.
AS the United States attor-.
ney said in his affidavit, Judge
Youngdahl practically passed
on the question of Lattimore's
innoncence. Mr.. Rover said:
IF a prospective juror in q
criminal trial stated that he
had a serious doubt regarding
the guilt or innocence Of a de-
fendant and that evidence
would be required to over
come such doubt, there can
be no question that any Judge
would disuualify the Juror from
sitting in judgment at the trial
Of the defendant"
The Supreme Court has held
that a judges ruling in the
lower courts as well as what
he throws in by way Of "dicta"
or expressions of personal
opinion-are pertinent in con-
sidering whether he should be
disqualified.
Maybe Judge Youngdahl was
merely giving vent to a natural
indignation in his tart state
rnent about the United States
attorneys affidavit. Maybe the
judge will yet disqualify him
self voluntarily. Other judges,
after formally answering for
the record any charges Of bias,
have then removed themselves
from the case and suggested
the appointment Of another
judge.

Owen baltimore. Far East
ern expert and the man who
has been accused OF master
minding the policies Of the
State Department under the
Truman administration which,
it is claimed, brought about
the loss Of China to the free
world, is under indictment
charged with lying before a
congressional committee when
he denied he had been pro-
noting Communist causes. The
same committee came to a
unanimous conclusion that
baltimore was "tile conscious,
articulate instrument Of the
Soviet conspiracy in the United
States"
Now the United States at
torney, Leo A. Rover, filed re-
Gently an affidavit charging
that Judge Youngdahl. before
whom the case is to be tried
on January 10 next, Is biased.
He relates that charge to COM
ments made by the judge III
his formal opinion ruling on
some indictments a year ago.
The Judge now answers that
affidavit and denies he Is
biased.
Usually even if there is only
the slightest appearance of
bias In a case, and even If the
judge in question doesn't him
self accept at all the reason
ing Of a protesting attorney
that the man on the bench is
alleged to be biased, he never
theless disqualifies himself to
sit in the proceedings when
either party in the case offers
a plausible argument asking
for another judge to try the
case.
If Judge Youngdahl didn't
furnish convincing evidence Of
his bias when he wrote the
first opinion a year ago COM
menting on indictments he was
dismissing and expressing a
disparaging opinion on the
merits of other indictments yet
to be tried, a close reading OF
the statement just issued will
doubtless furnish a basis for
more charges of apparent bias.
Thus Judge Youngdahl char
acterizes as "scandalous" the
action of the United States at
torney in filing an affidavit of

conciliatory gestures seem to
have been fruitfal.
AS Of now the 1852 candidate
is regarded as the odds-on IA
vorite for the 1856 nomination
among party leaders across the
Nation. It is Stevenson against
the field. His position in the
South appears favorable If ad-
vices received by this reporter
are correct that Senator Rich
ard B. Russell of Georgia, who
had the support of most South
ern delegations at the start
of the 1852 convention, now
regards the Stevenson nomina-
ton as the wisest course for
the party. For a time Senator
Stuart Symington of Missouri
had been regarded as the pos
sible legatee of the Russell
support. Senator Lyndon john
son of Texas, Senate Demo-
cratic leader, would like to be-
come the South's favorite son.
Perhaps the principal handi-
cap Of another aspirant for
the nomination. Senator Estes
Kefauver of Tennessee, was
the lack of real support from
the South. He is in the running
again.
Though the convention is
still many months off, you can
be sure that 1856 presidential
nomination politics will begin
to buzz among the Democrats
as soon as the congressional
elections are decided and over
next week, and with more than
usual zest, too, II Democrats

lifetime until America began
to rearm on q gigantic scale.
Neither Democrats nor Re-
publicans have solved the gap
between the farm and indus
trial sectors of our economy.
But the Republicans inherited
an unholy mess. Rigid price
supports government COM
mitments to purchase certain
commodities at guaranteed
prices-resulted in billions Of
tons of stored and spelling
food costing the taxpayers for
storage alone 100000 per
day. The program, which dis
regarded the operations of the
market, benefited in the main
only the large farmers. It was
anti-soil conservation. Thou
sands of acres were planted
to guaranteed-price crops that
should never have been
ploughed. Mr.. ,Benson's ap-
proach is, at least, rational and
motivated by other considerat-
ions than harvesting farm
votes.
Mr.. Truman didn't mention
tax reduction or fairly notable
reduction of unnecessary waste
in spending. The Democrats
have always considered heavy
taxation and spending for
spending's sake a sign Of
progress. Taxes happen, how
ever, to be paid by coal miners
as well as by millionaires.
Actually the Republican ad-
ministration has worked out
with great patience and care
and in consideration of its ef-
feet on the economy as q
whole the first halfway ra-
tional taxation system we have
had in years.
Mr.. Truman's clinching
argument was that a Demo-
cratic Congress would sup
port the Republican admin
istration as Loyalty as, or more
Loyalty than, a Republican
Congress would. Gle admitted
that he had never felt that
way when he was President) i.
I have heard this argument
in various parts Of the coun-
try. The congressional elec-
tions are being waged on local
issues and personalities. and.
on the whole. the Democrats
are proving more aggressive
than the Republicans. But to
argue for a Democratic Com
gress and a Republican ad-
ministration, while accusing
the Republican party of be-
ing split--in short to argue
for a split Government--simp
isn't logical.

The Southern wing, as it is
