The conspicuous effort at

rally Of Democrats to WOO
former President Truman to
the Hartman side. though he
has been committed to Mr..
Stevenson in the past, is a sign
that the Democrats consider
Trumanism an asset rather
than a liability. But they are
in for a sad surprise because
Trumanism is going to be Q
big issue in 1856. 1t would not
have been with Ike as the Re-
publican nominee but. with
the President likely to be out
of the race. the other Republic
cans will pull no punches.
Some Of them are delighted
that the so-called give EN-
hell" technique is still relished
by the Trumanites and that
the latter are urging the for
mer President to repeat what
he did in 1852 on the stump.
Maybe they'll discover that
memories Of Korea, COM
munism and corruption"
haven't been erased and that
the voters will be inyoluntarily
reminded by the Democratic
campaigners Of the things that
caused so many independents
to leave the Democratic Party
and vote Republican In 1852.
It seemed for a while that
the anti-Communist issue
would be forgotten by 1856,
but the Democratic radicals
and so-called liberals" are
keeping it alive. With the SIS
million Of the Fund for the
Republic" to be spent largely
on publicity projects that are
right up the alley OF the
Democrats. 1t does look as If
the Alger Hiss and Harry
Dexter White cases and per-
haps some others viii be back
in the campaign again. with a
lot Of questions being asked OF
the officials Of the Truman
regime which they never have
answered. A give 'em hell"
technique begets massive re-
taliation" by the other side.
So 1856 is not likely to be q
dull campaign no matter who
the nominees are.

COP. Must Find New Standard

Is to 81. The South. whose
anti-Truman rebellion helped
so much before. was already
returning to its traditional
Democratic allegiance. Now
Southern editors are writing
that while Eisenhower might
have made the South a battle
ground again, Republicans will
almost certainly lose it next
year.
In the preconvention period,
parties develop emotional feel
ings about candidates and their
politicians take sides freely.
But when the delegates gather
together the mood changes and
the real powerhouses meet in
small groups with one thought
In mind: Who can win?
This is the point at which
front-runners can be swept
away together with purely
local heroes. For it is simply
a fact that there aren't enough
dedicated Democrats or Re-
publicans to elect a President.
This was the real makeweight
against the late Senator Taft
in 1852, recognized SO clearly
by Governors closer to the
people than the Senators
whose lives are concentrated
in Washington.
The Eisenhower Republicans
found the ideal candidate In
1852; their present depression
is only natural. Their prob
lens remain.

He said he had a ''long-stand-

The most intensive lombard
ment Of the Nationalist held
offshore islands in many
months occurred last week
when the Communist artillery
kept the Quemoys under con-
tinuous bombardment for four
hours, pouring in 100 shells
from their 125 millimeter guns.
At the same time the Ma
tionalist reconnaissance forces
reported new movements Of
the estimated 100000 Red
troops In Fukien Province.
And the Red air force Is still

ever. that this renewed Com
munist activity In Formosa

full-scale attack against the
Nationalist strongholds.
It is more likely. our politi-
cal and military analysts think,

tial concessions at Geneva

have been going on for more
than two months.

ness-and-light tune because
they believe that Americas for
eign policy is stymied by the
illness of President Eisenhower.
So long as the President Is
incapacitated and cannot per-
sonally make major foreign
policy decisions, the Reds be-
ieye our Government will not
be able to act In an eyentuality
such as a full-scale attack
against the offshore islands.
It is no longer q secret that
there are two schools Of
thought in Washington con-
corning American involvement
in the defense of the Quemoys
and MatSus.
Military strategists and q
number of influential policy
makers in the State Depart
ment believe that we must live
up fully to the promise given
the Taipef government last
December to help defend their
island outposts.
Others, particularly infiuen-
tial Democrats in Congress and
Mr.. Eisenhower's close adj
visers, think that our only
commitment to Chang Kai-
shek's government Is to defend
FormoSa.
1t has been understood since
last spring that the decision
in regard to Quemoy and
Matsu is left entirely to the
discretion Of the President who
alone will have to determine
whether the loss of those
small islands will affect stra-
logically important FormoSa
and the Pescadores.
Neither the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff nor the State Depart
ment will dare commit the It'll
Fleet and the American air
forces in the Far East without
the Presidents personal APP
proval. The consensus in
Washington is that the Chi
nese Communists intend to
take advantage of the unique
situation caused by the Presi-
dents ailment and use it to
their advantage. The renewed
military activities in Formosa
Strait may be part Of this new
Red diplomatic strategy.

such as releasing a number Of
American hostages and SOL
EMMY pledging to liberate
them all.
They expected in return
some important concessions
from us, such as lifting of the
present commercial embargo
and initiating direct CONVERSE
tons between Secretary Dulles
and Premier Chou En-lai.
However, Ambassador john
son was empowered to discuss
only the hostage matter and
merely to listen to the "other
matters" which the Chinese
insisted on placing on the
agenda. Even this listening
and-reporting to- Washington"
job was not to occur until all
the Americans held by the
Reds had been set free and
were out Of the country.
The Communists thought the
hostages would have better
bargaining value. They had
been jailed only for such a
purpose. When the Reds real
lied that we are anxious to get
these victims out Of their
hands, but are unwilling to
do so at the price OF lifting
the embargo or opening top
level conversa tions, they
turned to their usual blackmail
tactics.
The Compromised liberation
Of the rest of the Americans
from Red jails has been in
definitely postponed. Since this
does not seem to have affected
our policies sufficiently, the
Reds have now started their

eminent to rest. That's be-
cause today the middle Of the
road means holding at a safe
distance the various groups
that seek advantage out OF
governmental policy to the det-
riment Of the national inter-
est.
BY contrast. the Democratic
Party is committed to a faction
and boldly proclaims Its bias as
a virtue. Thus, the Democrats
are promising a one-sided Ia
Dor law and are counting on
the big-labor-union bosses TO
help them finance the next
campaign and to swing the
vote of the workers. The
Americans for Democratic
Action, a radical organization
which comes from the group
that former President Hoover
characterized as "totalitarian
liberals" Is expected to mo-
bilize the left wingers' for
the Democrats. while the big
city and State organizations
with their machines are count
ed on to keep in line many OF
the so-called minority groups.
It's true the Democrats have
a cleavage in the South, but
this will hardly hurt them this
time as it did in 1852. The
Democratic Party in the North
is In the main harmonious. 1t
has lost the conservative voters
but believes this is more than
offset by the labor-union and
radical vote.
Just now the maneuvering
between the bosses who want
to see Gov. Averell Hartman
Of New York nominated and
those angling to get former
Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illi-
nois renominated is so trans
parent that it is surprising the
political science professors
who have been declaiming for
years against the evils of the
convention system aren't ut
tering a word Of protest. Time
was when the nominating Of
a presidential candidate in a
"smoke-filled room" with the
bosses sitting around to make
the deal, was solely a Republic
can characteristic. But now 1t
seems to be the way the Demo-
