Dutch West Indies-have dis
patched special salutes TO the
Jewish community in the United
[ States. which is now celebrating
its 300th Anniversary of settle

Israel Goldstein. president of the
American Jewish Congress and
chairman of the Western Hemis-
phere Executive of the World
Jewish Congress.
At press luncheon in the Step
hen Wise Congress House, Is East

has just returned from flying
mission to Latin America, also
disclosed that Brazilian and Dut-
Oh government leaders have sent
congratulatory messages to Jew
ry in thhe U. S. on the occasion of
the Tercentenary, and that Jew
ish communities in Latin Amer
lea are holding a series of cele-
brations marking the anniver-
sary.
Noting that the Jews in those
communities were enjoying COM
plete economic and political free
dom. DR.. Goldstein remarked that
officials in those countries ex-
pressed appreciation for the con-
tributions of the Jews living
there. Recalling the dispersal of
the Recife Jewish community
800 years ago when the Jews left
Brazil in fear of religious perse-
cution following the conquest of
that country by the Portuguese in
1854.
During my mission it was my
privilege to bring to these three
ings of American Jewry and to
Jewish communities, the greetings
of American Jewry and to bring
back greetings from them, thus
strengthening the spiritual bonds
between Jews living throughout
the hemisphere, which of course,
| is one of the chief aims of the
World Jewish Congress on whose
behalf I undertook this mission, !"
DR.. Goldstein stated. II have also
been entrusted by the Governor
of the Brazilian State of Pernam-
buco and the Mayor of Recife; the
Governor and Prime Minister of

that it might be only symptomatic
of more general virus was amply
justified a month later when dep
uty of DR.. Adenauer's own party,
Karl Franz Schmidt Wittmack, took
the same fateful trail to the Com
munist camp.
Although true enough that one
swallow-or even two-don't make
summer. the symptom Of West
German malaise cannot be ignored.
Rightly or wrongly a good many
Germans believe that their country
is being groomed by the Western
world for star role in the East
West struggle. They have come to
the conclusion that whatever re-
strictions are placed on German
rearmament now, the hunger for
German military power has come
to be the all-determining fact of
Western policy. Believing these
things. they ran for the nearest
exit. A psychologist might class
both DIR. John and Schmidt Witt
mack as wilful suicides. And yet,
the politicians-wherever they may
live - are deceiving themselves as
long as they ignore the fact that
this same urge for oblivion ID felt
by plenty Of disappointment men
and women Of Western Europe.

In other words, If the free Wet
Namese hope to win the election
they are going to have to displace
Wet Mini who already have a head
start on them.
Propaganda among the Wet Nam
ese, of course. is not as easy as it
is in the United States. There is no
television, very little radio and no
newspapers except in very few big
cities. There is also widespread
illiteracy.
Most effective propaganda Is "vis-
ual," that is. picture storytelling,
movies, simple posters :. !. and word
of mouth. These require lots Of
manpower. The small American
Wet Namese information team will
be lucky If it scratches the surface.
Just how small the force Is can
be judged from comparison with
the information effort the United
States built up in Japan after the
war. We started with an advantage
there, of course. Japan is over 95
per cent literate. Her people read

to test their credibility. The lawyers
argue that the best way to make
such test is through cross-exam-
ination. an old and respected court
room procedure. But. obviously, the
lawyers can't cross-examine unless
the accusers are brought forth.
This reliance on secret informers
will be attacked in the William Lewis
Greene case when it comes. up for
cotirt hearing. At Navy insistence,
Mr.. Greene was fired from his $18,-

gineering & Research Corp. at

firm. was doing contract work for
the Navy.

firing, his accusers were. kept secret.
He has filed suit in Federal Court
here to get his job back, and his
attorneys argued. in memorandum
on the case:
"CroSS-examination Is an inher-
ent part of due process. Though
lesser safeguards such as the iden-
tification of witnesses and the OPP
portunity to show the facts regard
ing the unreliability of their evil
dence might well have sufficed to
demonstrate Greene's right to clear
ance, the final reliance necessarily
is upon cross-exan1ination."

page editorial entitled "The Poll
ticians Have Sold Us Down the
River" it was pointed out that Mr..
Brown twice had sought seat in
the United States Senate and twice
had been rejected by the people.
Calling him one of the "snoothest.
slickest and ablest politicians this
State has known" the editorial
continued:
'But at last the great opportunity
turned up. And Edgar has cashed
in on the opportunity. The major
ity of the people Of the State don't
want him. but he had enough close
friends on the Democratic Executive
Committee to put over one Of the
slickest deals Of his career"
Enter Thurmond
Mr.. Thurmond, who was Governor
from 1947-1951. believes he can ride
this groundswell Of dissatisfaction to
victory, even though he must wage
a difficult write-in campaign. He
was too late to get his name printed
on the ballot
And so. what looked like q cut
and-dried affair, is turning into one
of the most interesting and lively
races Of the 1854 campaign.
Mr.. Thurmond is counting heavily
on the backing Of the popular Gov.
Byrnes. And while the former Sec
retary of State has not, publicly in
dorsed Mr.. Thurmond, 1t Is taken
for granted he will throw his sup
port that way.
Gov. Byrnes' opposition to Mr..
Brown goes back over the years.
The cleavage was especially deep in
1852 when Gov. Byrnes pumped for
Gen. Eisenhower and Mr.. Brown
campaigned vigorously for Mr..
Stevenson.
The feud continues. Latest evil
dence was Gov. Byrnes' reaction to
the Brown nomination. He ap-
pointed Charles Daniel to I'LL the four
months Of Senator Maybank's un-
expired term. BY doing so, Gov.
Byrnes robbed Mr.. Brown OF senior
ity over all other new Senator'S in
the 84th Congress.
Perils Of Write-In
In his drive to make anti Brown
sentiment pay on. Mr.. Thurmond
is behind the 6-ball. He Is trying
to win on . write-in basis In q
State that ranks 47th In hteracy.
Leading newspapers in South Caro-
lima are spearheading q quickie
education drive which they hope will
enable the sub-intelligentsia to cast
valid votes for the anti-Brown
candidate.
Mr.. Thurmond is at q disadvan-
tage, too. in the fact that Mr.. Brown.
after 40 years In politics, is probably
the most powerful politician In the
State. He has been q longtime
regular In support Of most New Deal

Back in the days when admins
tration leaders were saying that
Indo-C China-the Tonkin Delta in
particular-was Of "transcendent"
Importance, there was good deal
of criticism Of France for her fail
ure to give more attention to
psychological factors at work in
Wet Nam, Cambodia and Laos.
Then, when France negotiated
away the Tonkin Delta and the
northern half Of Wet Nam. the
United States top officials spoke
determinedly about snoring up the
free world defenses In Southeast
Asia to prevent any more such dis
asters. Immediately. they were con-
fronted with a challenge.
Terms Of the Indo-C China armis-
tice called for an election to be held
throughout Wet Nam. both COM
munist and French dominated,
sometime before July. 1856. II the
free Wet Narnese could be helped
to beat the Wet Mimi in those cleo
tions. creeping Communism could
be halted.
Time Slips Awoy
We are now well into the sec
ond month since the armistice was
reached. Twenty two more months
remain before the election dead
line. But the United States, for
its part. has as yet made no con-
vincing. moves toward helping the
Wet Namese win the election.
France, OF course. confines her
propaganda activities almost exclus-
lively to the negative censorship
approach.

aid and with propaganda tech
niques.

held q wonderful trump card over
the development of German politics.
No one can understand its power
without understanding first the one
primary fact of German politics,
which is the division Of the country.
There may be a few intellectuals
who accept, and even welcome the
dismemberment. But for the over
whelming mass of the German
people--Whose political reactions
are still a matter of blood rather
than brain--reunification remains
the one sure-fire issue which over
rides all others.
Until recently, the Russians have
been dumb about using their card.
II anything about European politics
is certain, it Is certain that Germany
will never be reunited-except on
Russian terms or over the dead
bodies Of a large number Of Russian
soldiers. Their problem all along
has been to use 1t without actually
playing ito control the game and
take the tricks without making the,
ultimate commitment.
Russion clumsiness
I For those who believe the legend
of Russian diplomatic infallibility,
there is some comfort in how
>clumsily they played their hand
first the bullying tactics Of the Ber-
lin blockade. then the long series OF
obvious trap-baiting operations. and
finally the Berlin conference last
winter, when the real price Of Ger
man reunification finally became
clear to all Germans.
Once again, it Is symptomatic Of
the state of mind Of Western Eu-
rope that the latest efforts Of the
Soviet government along this line
should be upsetting to Western
leaders. The latest Russian bid. de-
livered to Western capitals August

tinued consideration of the German
