LITTER } EpIroR Dear Editor

This weekend I distributed to the village theclothes which Emil Knudsen had sent to us to be distributed in April of last spring. l had waited since 1t is easy to store them here at the school and l felt that win ter rather requires more cloth- es and the fishing season might not prove too good here.
 As it happened, the fishing at Old Harbor was certainly Tot too good and the people in some of the larger families are going to have a tough go of it to feed the children in the late winter and early spring let a. lone cloth them properly. So it was with much appreciation that they accepted the, clothes last Saturday and Sunday.
 Last winter I gave a coat to a little first grade girl, the coat by this fall was really in tatters and very dirty, but she was still wearing ituntil today. She came to school this, morn- ing as proud as a peacock of sthe green jacket which she was wearing, it was fora larg- CT child, but it fitted her per- fectly as far as she was con eerned.
 I believe that the Kodiak mission sent some clothes to the village which were also distributed this fall by the missionaries here. However, if there are any clothes available in Kodiak this year, they would surely be appreciated and well used by the people here. If you will send them to us, we will surely be glad to distribute them to the people. They would write their appreciation them selves, but, as you know. they are really quite shy people, when it comes to expressing themselves.
 Very sincerely yours.

Nixon Almost Scutt|es an Issue
Will the G. O. P Go Into the Campaign Saying 1t Ended
Korean War; if Before Them We Get Into Another?

this fall said that it would be
up to the President to resolve
the contradictions of the
Nixon speech.
At least one faction of the
Republican Party will not all
low his Korean remarks to
stand without a struggle. The
servative iSolationiStS
would have been hard to bring
along on Indo- China, no mat
ter what position the PreSi-
dent takes. They might be in
duced to pretend not to notice
what the administration was
saying and doing in that area
but they will not readily con-
sent to being robbed Of the
Korean issue.
Mr.. Nixon led up to the Ko-
rean question at his brief1ng
of the editors when he linked
Korea to Indo-China as "one
war in which the real goal of
Russia is Japan" Japan, he
pointed out, has by itself half
the industrial potential of
Russia and that potential must
not be allowed to fall to the
Reds any more than the in
dustrial potential of Western
Europe can be let go.
The question was put to
him, that since he felt that
way. was it not perhaps a mis-
take to end the Korean war
where at least the United
States had a line of defense
and a beachhead?.

gress under the Constitution.
But now, without benefit
of constitutional amendment,
a way has been devised where
by in the future a majority
party with a narrow margin of
one vote can get another vote
or two If charges can be
brought which in the eyes of
the people will discredit a
Senator.
Many Senators are vulner-
able to attack because some
of them own large holdings of
stocks and bonds in companies
with defense contracts. Charles
E. Wilson was forced to sell
his holdings before he could
be confirmed as Secretary of
Defense. and public opinion
would probably demand that
Senators do likewise if the is
sue were ever pressed in a spe-
cific case. Also Senators have
been known in the past to
vote on pending bills which
directly or indirectly could af-
feet the value of the invest
ments they hold. Unlike
judges, they do not uniformly
disqualify themselves from vot-
ing.
Then there is the matter Of
outside income received by
members of Congress. Several
members continue to get fees
from their law firms. Some
accept fees for public speak
ing from organizations which
have legislation pending in
Congress. 1t would seem log
ical, after the Mccarthy case
is over, that efforts may be
made to force all these cases
into the open and then deprive
Senators from participating in
the trial of their own cases.

the prosecution of the McCar-
thy case with appreciation to-

hadn't. For-as Senator Mundt

The politics of the Nixon
affair is that the Vice Presi-
dent has left the Republicans
up the creek on their favorite
campaign issue. which is that
they ended the war in Korea.
For Mr.. Nixon answered still
another important question
with remarkable candor in his
famous briefing on Asia for
the American Society OF News
paper Editors. That answer,
as reported by the Associated
Press, was as follows:
BY hindsight a "better 6e-
cision might have been made
during the Korean war" that
would have inflicted a sub
stantial defeat on the Chinese
Communists" The end of the
Korean war produced the pres
ent French crisis by permit
ting the Chinese Communists
to increase their help to the
Communicated Wet Mimi
forces.
The Vice President in these
remarks planted land mine
on the ell-defined G. o. P.
campaign trail. At least one
astute Midwest editor spotted
it Immediately and a number
of Senators are about to give
1t their attention.

ceptance of three major con-
ditions demanded by the Com
munistS: ID The lifting Of
the embargo on trade between
the West and China: ca the
recognition of Peiping. and
go. the agreement and formal
promise on the part of the
American; British and French
to help replace in the U. N.
the present Chinese National
lists by Chinese Communist
representatives.
It appears that despite the
laxity of the control of trade
in strategic materials between
China and the West, this en-
barge has hurt somewhat the
Chinese Reds and the Mus
coviteS. Some of the material
which could be brought with
less effort by sea has to be
shipped from Western Europe
to Czechoslovakia or Poland
and then transshipped to
China by rail. The gigantic
Red plans for Asia suffer from
these handicaps.
According to reports in
Washington, the Soviets are
dangling before the weary
government of Premier Laniel
the carrot of a "peace with
honor" in Indo-China pro-
vided that France. with the
support of the British, can
prevail on our Government to
accede to these demands.
The peace with honor" is
said to consist in 0D the
establishing of a boundary be-
tween the Red-led Wet Mimi
and Wet Nam on the 10th par
allel;- (2) the recognition by
the Communists of the Asso-
ciated States, and (3) the
honor" for France that these
states remain within the
French Union.

ton of another situation SINH

Several of the members of
the United States Senate are
slowly awakening to the fact
that they have created a
Frankenstein monster in what
they are doing in the case of
the dispute between the civil
ian officials of the Army and
the junior Senator from Wis
consin, Joseph r. Mccarthy.
Republican.
For, any time in the future
a department or agent of the
executive branch of the Gov
ernment wishes to restrain a
Senator who refuses to do its
bidding. it can dig out of it's
files some letter or comuni-
cation and proclaim that the
request was "improper"-as it
has done in the case of Sena-
tor Mccarthy versus the Office
of the legal counsel Of the
Army. It can publicize the
charges. and the Senate, to be
consistent with the precedent
it is now establishing, must
then Immediately ask a COM
mittee to investigate and the
Senator accused must tempo
rarily step out of his position
on the committee and perhaps
lose his right to croSs-examine
witnesses. This Immediately
subjects him to a curtailment
of his rights as a United States
Senator. But this can be
legalized because the Senate
itself may. by a two-thirds
vote, expel Senator. Hence,
to take him off a committee
and deny him the right to face
his accusers could be construed
as implicitly within the rules
of the Senate.
Up to now Congress has had
the thing all to itself. 1t can

tive officials from lobbying or

the people is the conduct OF

every detail of that most un-
popular of all the foreign wars
in which this country has en-
gagged? Any candidate can
argue that one to his own
satisfaction. But how will he

you keep us out of war in

you vote to send our boys to

ted a crime and. unless a per-
jury case emerges. no punish
ment can be meted out.
Then what is the present
controversy all about? It is
really a new kind of public
trial carried on in the name of
the United States Senate. with
the defendant one Of its mem
berS whose views happen to be
unpopular with a segment Of
the electorate and whose meth
ods in the conduct of his
investigating committee have
drawn sharp criticism from
various quarters. The accusa-
ton that improper means"
were used by him to secure
from an executive department
special treatment for a staff
member of his committee is
just a trumped-up charge and,
though the Pentagon has often
been the recipient of many oral
requests for special treatment
in the past. no such case was
ever brought into the open
before.
1t is, in brief, a new way by
which the executive branch of
the Government. by an indict-
ment in the court Of public
opinion, can In the future
apply restraint or pressure up
on members of the Senate,
either because they may have
failed to vote for the appro-
priations desired by the execu-
tive or because they may have
too penetratingly exercised
their power to investigate exc
cutive departments. It could
be a far-reaching precedent
and had better be carried now
by the Wisconsin Senator to
the floor of the Senate for de-
cision by roll-call vote before
more precedents are estab-
lished that will make the Sem
ate a subservient tool of the
executive branch of the Gov
ernment.

Vice President Nixon might
have been able to find a better
sounding board than a lunch
con attended by some TOO
persons to warn the American
: people that American GIs
might be sent to Indo-C China.
But it's a secret" known to
everybody in Washington that
President Eisenhower, Secre-
tary Dulles and his advisers in
the State Department, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Ma
tional Security Council and a
large segment of Congress are
firmly convinced that the es-
tablishment of Communist or
CommuniSt-sympathy govern
mentS in Southeast Asia would
create a mortal danger to this
country's security.
The idea of a possible di-
rect intervention on our part
has been discussed at numer-
Gus meetings in the White
House and in a number of off
the-record presentations to
Congress by Secretary Dulles
and the top military men.
It is conceivable that Mr..
Nixon's decision to break the
news in a background" talk
was made because reports We
received from Indo- China
were so bad that it was neceS-
sary to tell at once what may
lay in store for us. In any
event, Vice President Nixon
got the green light to break
the story from the best availa-

mack, had told the editors:
What are we Republicans
going to tell the American peo-
pie in our campaign this fall?
Well, first of all, we are going
to tell them that we ended the
war in Korea"
A month and two days ago
it was the Vice President him
self who took this line in the
Z assignment given him by
President Eisenhower to an
swer Adlai Stevenson. The text
of his radio and television
speech shows him saying.
Right now the question is
how has the administration
policy worked? Well, first
the Korean war has been
brought to an end.
Nov, since Mr.. Stevenson
objects to this policy and since
he hasn't said what he is for.
I would like to ask him some
questions.
First. does he think the
Korean war should not have
been stopped? Does he favor
having more Korean-type wars
all over the world?"
Most experienced politicians
are wary of rhetorical ques-
Z tions. Some of them are now
saying that they were never
more sure that such questions
are apt to backfire in a most
embarrassing manner.

the 1850 aggression. The 18th
parallel instead Of the 38th
win become the imaginary di-
viding line in Indo- China.
While these diplomatic con-
versations are going on, the
Wet Mimi forces are progress
ing. There is no chance that
the French high command in
Indo-C hina can muster
strength to relieve the Diem
Bien Phu fortress. Moreover.
guerrillas have inflltrated
solidly the Hanoi perimeter.
More important than all is
the paramount factor that in
the present state, France feels
that it must have peace at
any price.
The French have written
off o-China for some time
and don't see why they should
continue the present cam
paign.
1t was this peace at any
price" which caused them to
pressure Mr.. Dulles at Berlin
last January into accepting
the Geneva conference.
There is no doubt in the
mind of any thinking man in
Washington that we are go
ing to that pariey with the
cards stacked against US. The
French and British are con.
vinced the Korea and Indo-
China wars can be settled
easily if we accept the Chinese
Communists into the family OF
nations. The administration
and the American people are
on record not to yield on these
matters of principle. And
while it is possible that the
French may decide to with
draw in Indo-China, there is
equally a possibility that the
governments of Wet Nam,
Laos and Cambodia may invite
us to help resist the Red ava
lanches. And this is what Mr..
Nixon had in mind when he
spoke out last Saturday.
