facing him.

when they range from a stolid

Coupled with these uncertain
ties is the weather. And native
San Franciscans, borrowing a
familiar word from the Weather
Bureau, admit it may be ex-
ltremely variable during the
course of the three-day, 72-hole
tournament that starts tomor-

Everyone comedies that this
55th annual prestige battle is a
wide-open proposition, involving
such interesting angles as the

aiming at the crown worn by
one of the darkest horses of

It is not easy for a chroni-
cler of international events
to discover what prompts
our policy makers to make
sweeping statements such as
we heard a few years back
that Russia is a tremendous
power which I'VE must not
provoke" or the more recent
view that Sovietland is in
serious internal trouble which
causes its leaders anxiety to
end the cold war and get along
with the free world.
The only way to tackle these
divergent views is to look at
the record Of the last 10
years.
Russia suffered serious de-
struction during the last war.
When we offered in 1947 to
reconstruct the old war-torn
world through the Marshall
Plan we invited friends and
enemies alike to the Paris con-
ference.
Foreign Minister Molotov was
told that we would be willing
to allocate as much as $40 bill
lion to help the USSR's re-
eovery. He snarlingly turned
down the offer and ordered
the satellites to do likewise.
The Kremlin was no more in
terested then in the well-being
of Ivan than it is now.
Since 1947. great deal of
reconstruction work has been
done in the Soviet Republics
and the subjugated nations.
And there has been an impor-
tant industrial buildup. The
cold war is not interfering
with RusSia's trade with the
free countries except possibly
in :. few highly strategic ma
terials. These are not being
exported openly but are boot
legged behind the Iron Cur
tain.
Moscow's plans for the Far
East became obvious in 1850
when the North Koreans, sup
ported by Chinese "volun-
teers." attacked South Korea.

Mutual Trust Among Nations

to achieve. and practice COM
plete independence Of the Mos
COW yoke.
Another step would be the
unification Of Korea. This can
be achieved IL the Communists
would permit the United Ma
tions to hold free elections so
that a new government might
emerge to govern all of Korea
as a country independent Of
Red Chinese or Soviet coer-
cion.
The key to mutual trust" is
to be found in free elections
everywhere so, that the people
can rule. There would be no
fear of war If dictatorships
were not in power in countries
that have the military might
and the resources to menace
the peace of the world.
All this viii seem difficult to
accomplish but only because
evil men do not choose to re-
form or repent. Maybe, that's
because they no longer believe
in God. and worship instead
the false gods of their own
fallacious authority. Men who
have learned to surrender to
the will and guidance of a Su-
preme Being have not been
troubled about Saving face"
and sdmitting wrong.
If the Soviet rulers mean to
win trust and to be themselves
trustful they have only to un-
do the many things they have
done since .1945 which have
brought on the cold war. Then,
indeed, will a conference of
the heads of states mean
something. If there's no "mu-
tual trust" only an uneasy
truce can ensue-a postpone
ment of the crisis until the
aggressor feels Strong enough
to start a war. Meantime, spir-
itual power and moral force
mobilized by free peoples can
seek to reach the oppressed
peoples and encourage them to
get rid of their evil rulers-it
may be the only way to pre-
vent a catastrophe from hap

DORIS FLEESON
Echoes of Democratic 'Gveowoy' Cry
Cause Administration to Back Awoy

Between straddling eat the
White House and the serious
illness of Senate Majority
Leader Lyndon B. johnson
of Texas. a measure that at first
apparently had easy sailing
is in trouble. 1t is the bill to
exempt independent gas pro-
ducers from Federal controls.
Nobody in a position of lead
ership wants to take sole re-
sponsibility for this consumer
versus producer legislation.
Yet Speaker Rayburn has been
left alone on that burning
deck. He has some helpers in
the lesser ranks of the House
but their efforts to make the
measure more palatable have
done it as much harm as good.
The gas bill as such has
had a long history. With gas
wells, as with the offshore oil
deposits, the Supreme Court
has insisted upon Federal ju-
risdiction. Thus only an act
of Congress can free the gas
producers from Federal curbs.
The first effort to secure it
was the Ridley bill of
1947, Then came Senator Bob
Kerr's gas bill in 1948, the
work of the Oklahoma Demo-
crat who had just arrived in
Washington.
The present version which
has passed the House Com
merce Committee and is wait
ing for the green light from
Rules, is much modified. When
the session opened it seemed to

of its services.
Here we have the simple
and understandable fact of
an Inside job. with the
representative of a big invest
ment house, representing util-
ity clients, sitting in at the
same time as an adviser on
Government policy in which
the company and those clients
were interested.
Not only 90 we have here an
inside job" but one done in
secrecy. For. when the Budget
Bureau at President Eisenhow-
er's order made public papers
and documents dealing with
the Dixon-Yates contract. it
withheld all information about
Mr.. Wenzell's activities, which
were finally and first revealed
by Senator Lister Hill, Demo-
crat Of Alabama. in a Senate
speech In March.
Democrats are capitalizing
upon the Dixon-Yates affair
to drive home charges they are
beginning to make that the
President is not kept properly
informed by subordinates on
important matters about which
he should know. He was mis-
led, in the first instance, that
the Budget Bureau had given
out all pertinent facts about
the Dixon-Yates deal as he
had instructed. At a June 80
news conference. he insisted
that Mr.. Wenzell was never
called in or asked a single
thing about the Dixon Yates
contract" which was on the
basis of a conference he had
with Budget Director Rowland
HugheS just prior to the press
conference. At his most recent
press conference he defended
Mr.. Wenzell's actions as en-
tirely proper. when it was evi-
dent he had not been given a
complete flll-in.
Despite the simplification of
the issue, there are those who
argue that Dixon-Yates will
not be politically potent except
in Tennessee and perhaps in
other areas interested in public
resource development. But
Democrats, nevertheless, are
proceeding on the thesis that
they have an issue of some
consequence. 4

have everything in its favor.
The oil and gas interests had
warmly supported President
Eisenhower and he had pushed
the tidelands bill. A generally
hostile Democratic view was
countered by the fact that the
leaders of both Senate and
House are from the oil and gas
State Of Texas. AS the Speaker
has admitted with a wry smile.
it isn't hard to see why he
takes some positions not in
the Democratic platform.
But the more the Eisen-
hover strategists looked at the
bill which would mean higher
prices to consumers in the
great cities of pivotal States,
the less inclined they were to
stick their necks out. Demo-
cratic charges of "giveaway"
had already proved their DO
tency in the elections last No
vember.
Let Rayburn and johnson
do it" became the motto. It
was, of course, not lost on
those experienced politicians
and they put on some heat of
their own.
For months when oilmen
from Texas would call Speaker
Rayburn about the bill he
would suggest they call Pres
ident Eisenhower for whom
they had done so much,

Eisenhower has kept his own

be accepted as a substitute.
Hence public confession by a
government is politically diff
ficult even IN a totalitarian
country.
An alternative method would
be performance-actual deeds
that show retribution. This
could be accomplished by un-
doing the wrongs which the
Soviet Union has committed
since 1945.
Thus the Moscow govern
ment pledged itself to permit
free elections in Poland and
Czechoslovakia and in the
other satellite countries. It
was a pledge given first in the
Atlantic Charter signed by
Stain.
Free elections everywhere
would solve the East German
problem. too. and permit Ger
man reunification.
Another step would be to
release all the prisoners of war
the Soviets have retained in
their custody since 1945. There
is not the semblance of right
behind those acts and it would
be a sign of regeneration if the
captives were allowed to go to
their respective countries.

No Reason to Suspect lyon's Poverty
As Cause of Kremlin's New Oyertures

In 1851, we had the power and
ability to defeat the enemy
thoroughly and save that vital
portion of the world from Red
domination. The most potent
advocate of the well-known
military principle of strike
while the iron is hot" was Gen.
Douglas Macarthur. He was
dismissed from command be-
cause he insisted on striking
the enemy with everything he
had. which was plenty.
During the congressional
hearings touched of by the
Macarthur dismissal, military
and civilian spokeSmen for
the administration said in
unison that the generals
strategy of hitting the enemy
behind the Yalu was risky
because we might arouse the
Russians and thus trigger a
third world war. The con-
cept of Russia's invincibility at
a time when she was not
manufacturing in quantities
either atomic, hydrogen or
cobalt bombs prevailed in the
highest councils in Washing
ton and in the allied coun-
tries. Yet Ivan, the forgotten
man in the Russian street, was
no better off than he had
been five years earlier, nor is
he much better off today.
An unfavorable armistice
was signed two years ago by
a new American administra-
ton which had denounced so
loudly the chicken -heartedness
of the Democrats. There were
two detectives: To stop the
killing of American boys and
to relieve the fear that a con-
tinuation of the campaign
would arouse the Kremlin and
unleash a fatal third world
war. The Communists chalked
up another major victory with
immediate consequences in

now is that they will continue
their drive toward the rest of

the new friendly moves Of the
Kremlin dictators to the pos
sibility they fear internal

President Eisenhower is said
to share Mr.. Dulles feeling. But
for diplomatic reasons, on the
eve of the Geneva meeting, he
found it advisable to correct
the views of his Secretary Of

that the jet planes shown that

The outlook today for the bill
is about $3.50. In addition to
everything else, it is caught in
the adjournment rush and SEN
ator johnson is not on hand
to give it his very special brand
of watchfulness. The Senate
will not even bother with it
unless and until it passes the

There the strategy will be
to turn back on its supporters
their own proposal for a board
investigation of the transporta-
ton and distribution of natu-
raj gas. The proposal proved
unpopular because it did not
mention production, and when
they saw that might be in
cluded, proponents of the pres
ent gas bill dropped it.
Opponents of the bill will
call for the investigation but
ar all-inclusive one. This is

not to be registered on the
issue. 1t is believed that with
the greatly increased use of
natural gas as a fuel, votes to

THOMAS L. STOKES
Recent Revelations Show This Question,
Complicated as 1t Is, Has Some AppeoI

In this politically-minded
city when a matter affecting
Government begins to get con-
centrated attention and conse-
quent wide publicity it is in
evitable that it is discussed in
terms of its potency as a politi-
cal issue in the next election.
That is happening with the
now = cancelled Dixon Yates
contract as the persistent Sen
ator Estes Kefauver doggedly
explores it day by day.
The Tennessee Senator. who
capitalized a crime investiga-
tion into a really formidable
challenge for the 1852 Demo-
cratic presidential nomination,
certainly thinks there's politi-
cal power in Dixon Yates, de-
spite cancellation, not only in
Tennessee, but nationally. So
do other Democrats, in
cluding a couple of other
young and ambitious political
leaders in Tennessee. They
would be Senator Albert Gore
and Gov. Frank G. Clement.
While the Tennesseans are
so hard-hitting on this issue
because it affects something
so close to their constituents
TVA--they and other Demo-
Gratis are proceeding now on
the theory that it will be a
political issue far beyond Ten
nessee because it has in the
last few days acquired the nee
essary ingredients. These are
simplif1cation and the human
element which, you will recall,
was what got Republicans so
much political mileage out of
such items as gifts of deep
freezes and mink coats in the
RFC scandals Of the Truman
administration.
Everybody could understand
that. So now with Dixon
Yates, once to most people a
complicated financial maze.
1t is now simplif1ed in one
human being, a gentleman by
the name of Adolphe Wenzell,
formerly assistant vice presi-
dent and director of First
Boston Corp, a New York in
vestment company which is
the biggest underwater of pri-
vate utilities and naturally
