Veteran Democrats Sit Back as Newcomers
Pin the Blame on Popular President

The most interesting. and
perhaps most significant, po-
litical development here lately
is the way Democratic back
benchers are rising up to carry
the fight to the Republicans
and President Eisenhower,
while party elders are sitting
silently by for the most part.
The freshmen. in truth. are
laying down the only strategy
that can be effective. This is
to concentrate on the Presi-
dent. They accept the Repub-
lican Party's own thesis that
1t can win only with the Pres
ident. He is what Democrats
must defeat. If he bows out,
then the Democratic Party
need not worry. If he does run,
then he is all they have to
worry about. For that, Demo-
Gratis have the Republicans
own word.
Because of all of this, and
because what the Democratic
back-bencherS are doing now
the party elders have got to
do later, the line being taken
by the freshmen in their haz-
ing of the President becomes
not only of interest generally,
but of first Importance polit-
ically. For it is what you'll be
hearing generally a few months
hence from all along the Dem
ocratic front.
For a sampling, let us take
recent speeches by two fresh
men Democratic Senators. One
is from North Carolina, a
farmer. former Gov. Kerr
Scott, who spoke a few days
ago in the Senate. The other
is contractor and also was
president of a local labor
union before he came to the
Senate, Pat Mcnamara of
Michigan, who spoke at Ak
ron. Ohio, Thursday night.
Both men won their way to
the Senate over the opposi-
ton of powerful economic in
terests.
They have the fresh outside
look at Washington. The pic

Nehru Called Follower of Reds

India has no real obligations
to the Commonwealth. that
the relationship gives India
certain advantages without at
the same time involving any
Disadvantages of any impor-
lance.
That the sacred COW" repu-
tation of Mr.. Ne hru in the
American press and among
the American people has SUI
fered as these disappointing
facts have come to light should
occasion no surprise. OF course,
it took the bloodshed of Korea
and the abject surrender of
Indo-C China to awaken many
of his admirers to his true
character in the drama of
democracy. Mr.. Nehru's ''neu-
tralism" is a tactical pose for
him. but to the free world
locked in struggle with the
new Communist imperialism,
the Nehru position is in cold
practical fact just another part
of the Communist structure.
Mr.. Nehru is said to be vast
ly impatient with administra-
tive detail-the stuff of. which
about 80 per cent Of modern
vernme emit is made. He
doesn't like statistics or data,
but prefers to dwell in a glori-
Gus world of high policy in
which he sees himself and the
new India as the inheritors of
the great tradition of the Mo-
guls. Such a dream world,
of course. bodies no good for
midas neighbors in any direc-
ton and would certainly ap-
pear to spell an inevitable
clash with Communist China
when the new Mogul meets the
new Khan.
But that is the stuff of the
future, if indeed of anything.
Today, Mr.. Nehru stands at
the head of a. vast subconti-
nent peopled by hundreds of
millions of illiterate, poverty
stricken and superstitious
human beings. And Mr..
Nehru's chosen course of neu-
tralism in the climactic strug-
gle for d ON in tion of the
world must place him and
those hordes of necessarily
blind followers in the orbit of
world communism.

Formoso Reaction Cold
On u. S. Jet Bose Plans

TAIPEI, Formosa, April 80 (P),
Chinese Nationalist officials le-
acted coldly today to Washington
reports that the United States
might establish jet fighter base
and a token force Of Marines

The cool response apparently
Was because the projected move
was linked with proposals for a
cease-fire in the Formosa Strait,
which the Nationalist solidly

A qualified Nationalist official
said he preferred not to COM

THOMAS L. STOKES
When Freshmen Do the Hozino

Business is directing this
country, more rapidly than
ever before, along the road
to giantism and in the end
to state socialism"
The Michigan Senator then
presented his picture of those
who came to Washington with
the new regime whom he de-
scribed as IAN army of earnest
people anxious to get theirs
in a hurry" as follows:
"These were not like the
people who have Inundated
earlier Republican admins
trations. They did not have
little black bags filled with
money to steal our natural re-
sources through bribery. These
people were, and are, sober,
piouS folks who feel that God
in his wisdom ordained that
the resources and the wealth
of the United States should
belong to them.
$50 what could be more nat
ural, what could be more
proper, than their speedy ar
rival in Washington to COL
lect what they feel belongs to
them? They started early on
the job, and they have been
working steadily at it ever
since. They have made some
real progress in getting away
with what properly belongs to
all the people. But l think
a good many of the rest of
the people of the United
States are becoming aware of
what is going on"
That is rough and salty
language; but it is the kind
found most effective with the
rank and file OF people, of
which the most recent ex-
ample is found in the success
Of Harry Truman. Democrats
have been accustomed to it
since the time OF Andy jack
son and his :itchen cabinet.
1t must be said that, with a
discount for hyperbole. it does
give an impression of the
smugness and self-righteous-
ness of the current ruling re-
gime.
Anyhow, we'll be hearing a
lot of the Scott-McNamara
sort of oratory as the decision
of 1856 comes nearer

BY HARRY LEVER

A sunny MINDLESS sky-ideal
weather for helicopters-today
lured a large crowd to Anacostia
Naval Air Station, to witness one
of the largest flying and static
displays of the whirlybirds ever
held here.
The show, scheduled to end at
2 pm, was the final event Of
the three-day meetings of the
American Helicopter Society.
Leading the parade of the ver-
satile aircraft was the Army's
Sikorsky xH-3s, a gas-turbine
powered ship which was not only
the biggest helicopter ever seen
here, but also holds the official
international speed and altitude
records. Next came the Army's
Hitler H-23, skimming along at
only a few feet altitude, and this
helicopter was followed by the
Air Forces Sikorsky H-5D, famed
for its air rescue capabilities.
The Army's newest egg beaten,
the Bell H-13, specifically de-
signed for combat duty, also re-
ceived close inspection from the
crowd.
The show even had a pretty
queen. Rita Aub. Mark Evans

Also on exhibit was the Navy's
HSS-1 helicopter, designed for
anti-submarine warfare. The
Coast Guard displayed it's HO4S

at sea. The Army showed off
many helicopters, ranging from
the small Hitler H-23 to the
large Piasecki H-21 assault
transport. The Marine Corps
was showing its HRS assault
helicopter and others.
All the rotary aircraft were
flown into the air station from
the north end.

States, since he first emerged
as a vigorous and intelligent
fighter for the independence
of India. It Is only since the
cold war with communism has
become bitter and relentless,
and in places bloody. that Mr..
Nehru has lost in the esteem
Of Americans generally.
But neutralism, to Mr..
Nehru, is more than a pose
or even a tactic. AS a Social
list. he has no theological fears
of communism. AS an ambi-
tious and thoroughly power
conscious ruler, he does fear
the inherent aggression in the
international Red conspiracy
and probably never underesti-
mates its capabilities. But at
the present critical time Of
world history, he appears to
feel reasonably secure so long
as the struggle between the
free world and the Iron Cur
tain continues to be whipped
to greater tension as the
march Of devouring commu-
nism goes on. He sees himself
and his India as a third pail y
who is in little danger so
long as the two great antag-
onists are concerned solely
with each other.
Both neutralism as a foreign
policy and democracy as an
ideal of government have little
basic appeal to Mr.. Nehru in
the long run, his critics say.
The first is a tactic, the second
a shibboleth to be fed to the
masses for encouragement and
self -delusion. Mr.. Nehru is
said to feel that China, like
India. is simply experiencing
a belated awakening of nation
al consciousness, and that the
labels and slogans under which
they awake are of little conse-
quence.
Such attitudes and values,
if truly held, contain of course
an immense amount of cold
cyniciSm. Thus Mr.. Nehru
can keep his vast subcontinent
as an integral part of the
British Commonwealth. yet

The Nationalist Navy reSali-

100 shells were lobbed on to the
Huangchi peninsula where two
Communist ships had arrived
with supplies and two roads
rushed to completion by the

Latest reports of Red activities
included three shells dropped on

the strait from Central Formosa.
The Tatao News Agency, oper-
ated by the Interior Ministry,
said Soviet Russia turned over
five destroyers and 10 landing

Dairen. It said two of the de.
stroyers were $500 tons each,
the other three 1000 tons. The
landing craft were all 1900 tons.
