6. O. P. Is AssuiIed
For Attack on ADA

Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
of Minnesota said today the
Senate Republican Policy Com
mittee, fought to be spending its
time on drafting a program of
action for America" instead of
attacking Americans for Demo-
cratic Action.
Senator Humphrey, an ADA
official, thus struck back at the
policy group which yesterday
circulated a booklet charging
ADA with sponsoring a program
that it said presents a distinct
parallel to that of the Commu-
niSts."
The ADA, which claims $4,000
members, calls itself an "inde-
pendent, anti-Communist politi-
cal organization" dedicated to
the cause of liberalism.
Replying to the booklets
charges, Joseph l.. Rauh. jr.,
ADA national chairman, said in
statement last night the G. o. P.
Policy Committee has accused
us of supporting legislation de-
signed to provide maximum vel
fare for the greatest number of
Americans and added that ADA
pleads guilty to the charge"
Basis Of Assertion
Mr.. Rauh said the committees
assertion that ADA stands for
socialism is based on our ad-
vocacy of the social and eco
nomic reforms of the New Deal
and Fair DealeraS."
Senator Humphrey, a member
Of the ADA Board of Directors
and a former ADA chairman.
brushed aside the policy groups
assertions that what it called the
left wing" organization is try
ing to capture the Democratic
Party"
THE Republican Policy Com
mlttee appears to believe that
anybody to the left of President
Mckinley is left winger," he
said in an interview. THE Re-
publican Party has f1unked it's
elementary history courses.
What the G. o. P. needs is
not a new book but some new
leadership. with a modicum of
performances on promises. Id
suggest that the Republican Pol
icy Committee ought to be
spending its time on drafting a
program of action for America
instead of attacking the ADA"
The 157-page G. o. P. booklet
said the "aim and character of
ADA :. have been shrouded in
double talk, but the drift 10
clear"
1t said the organization spon-
sors a doctrine Of socialism

economic paralysis :" adding:

whelming issue of the day. I'm

Both Mrs. Lee, who is now re-

Mrs. Haig indicated they did not
expect to announce their asso-
ciate candidates in the imme-
date future. Both said they
preferred to follow the practice
of Miss Carraway and Mrs. James
B. Patton. her predecessor, who
did not complete their tickets
for some time after their own
candidates. were announced.
Mrs. Haig, who has been &C
tive in the OAR since she grad
uated" into its ranks from the
CAR, is a former State regent
of the District. Nationally she
has served as vice president gen.
eral and treasurer general and
has held several national chair
manShips.
A South Carolinian by birth,
she is descended from Gen. Will
liam FiShburne and Charles
Pinckney, a signer of the Con-
stitution. She joined the CAR
as charter member of the
Charles Towne Society in
Charleston, S. C. She has held
various national Offices in the
CAR and completes her second
two-year term as president at
the conclusion of it's convention
here tomorrow.
Mrs. Lee is a descendant of
Col. John Washington, who
settled in Virginia in 1855 and is
a collateral descendant of George
Washington. Her supporters
point out that her home State,
Pennsylvania, has the second
largest representation in the
OAR and has not had a presi-
dent general for 80 years.
Mrs. Richards, who announced

his duties at these conferences.
The following pages Of this
book reveal his contribution Of
the Yalta conference"
A glance at the index shows
sixteen separate references to
Hiss. An examination Of the
work done by Hiss as referred
to in the Stettinius book gives
an impression Of influence.
Hiss often sat directly behind
President Roosevelt at the
conference table and attended
some private consultations
with the President and Secre-
tary Of State Stettinius in
which Mr.. Byrnes didn't par
ticipate.
Also. the main sins Of Yalta.
which Mr.. Hiss didn't mem
ton in his own article In
Pocket Book Magazine this
week. are the secret agree
ments which were not made
public when the praise of
Yalta to which he refers swept
the press. Nor did Mr.. Byrnes
know of the concessions made
in the Far East. Indeed Mr..
Stettinius comedies that this
secret was even kept from him.
Mr.. Byrnes' thesis In his
magazine article was not so
much to argue the merits Of
the Hiss case--for. he says.
the verdict of the jury was in
his Judgment right--but to
point out that the whole De-
partment Of State was often
blamed by critics for the mis-
conduct Of Hiss. He makes a
good point there. but 1t Is
also true that the Department
Of State repeatedly covered up
other misconduct by its EN-
ployes and to this day there
are officers In the foreign serv-
ice who, writing In the Foreign
Service Journal, keep on Civ
ing the impression that no
body has been guilty Of mis-
conduct.
No group or institution
should ever be condemned be-

officers have been dropped for

this is the only way to safe

It Is difficult to conceive
that we can stay out in such
a conflict, particularly II the
Reds put In an oar as they
did in the Korean war. The
Kremlin's decision to provide
the latest type Of arms to
the Arabs did not stem out Of
the kindness Of heart Of the
comrades. They know the
situation In the Middle East
and the implication Of pro-
yiding the contending parties
with the wherewithal to fight.
They have acted, however,
within the framework Of In
ternational law since there u
no prohibition against sup
plying the Arab sovereign ma
ton with weapons even at
bargain prices.
The likely prospect Of the
United States taking a hand
in q Middle Eastern conflict
might enhance the chances Of
the Chinese Communists to
Settle the matter Of Quemoy
and the Matsus. AS q matter
Of fact it might provide them
with a chance to do more. The
link between Moscow and Pei.
ping is solid. The men In Pei
ping knew well In advance the
plans of their colleagues In
the Kremlin. This assumption
has a strong base by the fact
that even before the arms from
Czechoslovakia arrived in
Egypt. a shipment Of machine
guns reached Alexandria from
Shanghai. Chou En-lai has
lost no time in further per-
fecting the offensive capable
ties Of his troops.
The attention Of the peoples
in the free world win be focused
for the next few weeks on the
Geneva conference, where the
Russians win insist that the
policy Of sweetness and light
be continuation their own
terms. But In the meantime
the Kremlin is helping massive
military movements and prep
arations which 1t hopes win
serve its basic purposes.

Which brings us to the sec

Gov. Lausche serves to SYM

revive a theory that the party

the South. Astute party lead

They know that Democrats

election with a conservative.
Their view--and 1t Is borne
out In experiences that If
the people are in a mood for

never take a Democrat with
that label, fearing that he
could not control his party
but would go all the way and
pick a Republican because

operator. Russell is a major
architect of the middle-of-

But as o public figure and a
