less the French permitted Ger

prohibited by the Versailles
treaty--the situation might
become serious.
Blomberg pointed out to Ord

would satisfy German public

restless because of the bleat-

For the first time the de-

as much progress with the
superbombs would have been
made in a critical period In
American history.
The Atomic Energy Commis-

Brazips new President is, in

would have to be in order to

more moderate than the VAR

out to get him.
Already, Vargas Labor Party

Brazil since 1850, and uniting
with the Communists for the

The big question is: Will
President Cafe be able to pre-
vent his foes from winning
next months congressional
elections and thus dominating
Brazil?
I interviewed Cafe almost
a year before Vargas died,
when he was Vice President.
He spoke frankly, both of us
believing that few, If any, of
his words would see daylight,
since Brazil's Weep is as unim-
portant as our own.
That was a year ago. Today,
the words Cafe then uttered
have new meaning. The very
first thing he told me was:

bling this fall on a hunch that

Sources friendly to him de-
scribe, this as the meaning of
his decision to efface himself
from the campaign, keeping
only one political engagement
already made.
From the point of view OF
his personal survival, their
story makes sense. No mat
ter what Senator Mccarthy
does at this point, even if the
Republicans pull ahead, he
can hardly claim that he won
control of Congress for them
as he claimed in 1852.
Vice President Nixon is al

driver of the g. O. P. cam
paign and President Eisen-
hover is about to move in
strongly. They will get the
credit if the final returns favor
the administration. Senator
Mccarthy cannot change this
now.
But he is also quite shrewd
enough to know that If the
Republicans lose, the Presi-
dent and Vice President will
get the blame-provided that
he doesn't move in and share
it with them. This he has ap-
parently decided not to risk.
His friends think it would
be q real risk for him to move

boy. In fact, they quote him
as predicting privately that
