There Is q good deal Of quiet
discussion wherever politicians
and press gather together
about whether the Stevenson
divorce will iniure his candi-
dacy. Most people seem to feel
1t will not, except among those
who feel strongly about 1t from
a religious point Of view.
The religious element was
not present in the Stevenson
divorce. The candidate Is .
Unitarian and recently joined
the Presbyterian church near
his country home at Liberty

It may have been a mere
coincidence that the attempt
to murder Hussein Ala, the
strongly pro-American Premier
OF Iran, occurred within 48
hours after the Geneva nego-
tiations had broken down. But
some suspicious minded OFF,
cials in Washington do not re-
move the possibility that there
may be some connection be-
tween the assault by a "fa-
natic Moslem" and the new
strong drive of the USSR to
supplant the remaining Amer
ican influence on the Asiatic
continent.
Ala is a highly enlightened
Middle Eastern statesman. He
was educated at Oxford and is
unsweryingly pro-American. He
believes that his country's
sovereignty can survive only
by close ties with America.
Early in 1916 when the Rus
slams were at the gates of
Teheran. he appealed from
Washington where he was am
bassador and induced tlte
Shah to fire the pro-Soviet
foreign minister, Prince Firuz.
More recently, as Minister Of
the Palace, he contributed
greatly to solution of the
Iranian-British dispute over
the oilfields in Southern Iran
and thus helped place his
country once more on the side
Of the Western coalition, to the
Kremlin's great annoyance.
Ala also helped forge the
present upper tier" alliance
with Turkey, Iraq and Paki-
stan, q serious thorn in the
side Of the USSR. Throughout
the, dark days prior to settle
ment Of the Iranian- British
dispute Ala remained faithful
to his conviction that Iran
must side with the Western
powers regardless of their
blunders and diplomatic clum-
siness In the Middle East.
These facts prompt some

European Opinions Of America

They don't understand the
American fear Of communism.
They think 1t is q symptom Of
weakness. Some North Euro
pean countries have consider
able Communist mincrities
represented In their parlia-
ments. but they know the
number Is decreasing and don't
think they stand O chance Of
taking over.
They like everything that Il
Affirmative In America and are
made anxious by anti move-
ments.
They don't like those Amer
ican films glorifying q luxury
which seems to them phony
and unadmirable. They don't
like American comic strips that
are finding their way more
and more into European news
papers. and which leaders Of
public opinion consider. ct best,
vulgar and childish.
Regarding personalities:
They admire Eisenhower, as
brave, good. and on the side
Of peace. They are rather al
lergic to Secretary Dulles.
They think he means well, but
needs advice on his speeches.
They did not like massive
retaliations' and they don't
like an air Of Righteousness
that seems, rather, self-right-
eous. They don't like inyok-
ing religious morals to justify
policies that are, at least, de-
batable. The "highbrows" (wfo
form public opinion more,
perhaps, than in Arnerica)
adore Stevenson. Countries
that are largely governed by
highly superior and efiicient
"egg- -heads" don't understand
the current American anti
intellectual wave - from o
country that more than any
other has deinocratized higher
education.
They like the cultural ex-
change programs, such as that
Of students. Some come back
disliking America but more
come back full Of enthusiasm.
especially for the American
people.
They think Americans swing
from one pole to another with
startling rapidity. Here in
Finland, for instance, they are
q little irritated at being noth-
ing but q way-station on the
trek Of journalists and Con-
gressmen TO Moscow.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Link Seen Possible Between Murder
Attempt and New Red Drive in Iran

ton to speculate that the shots
fired by the "fanatical Mos
lem" at the Iranian Premier
were carefully prearranged by
the Soviet Embassy's agents
in Teheran. Murder is a ia
vorite political weapon Of the
Red rulers both at home and
abroad. It is recognized by
them as the easiest shortcut
to solving difficult problems.
The Russians have been very
active in Iran since the days Of
the Czars. They have an i'm
posing embassy with enormous
grounds carefully protected by
squads of MVD guards. 1t
offers the protection of a real
fortress. Because Of the secu-
rity it affords. Stain was able
to persuade President Roose-
welt to stay In the fortress as
his guest in 1943 instead of
establishing himself in the
American Embassy. It un-
doubtedly increased the late
Presidents security but also it
gave the Russian dictator a
chance to sell" himself and
thus detach Mr.. Roosevelt
from Winston Churchill.
1t was from the Soviet
Embassy that the anti-West-
ern movements of the Iranian
government headed by Premier
Mohammed Mossadegh were
inspired and directed. Soviet
agents from Mohammedan
Azerbaijan clad in native garb
mingled with excited, fanati-
cal crowds in support Of the
pro-Soviet policies Of the men
then in power.
1t was In the Soviet En-
bassy. according to reports
from our intelligence officers,
that the plan to remove the
Shah from the throne and
send him into exile was con-
cocted and actually succeeded
until the pro-Western groups
made a counter coup and

kicked out the weeping Mos
sadegh.
There is no question that
Hussein Ala played an i'm
portant part in frustrating the
goals Of the men in the Krem-
lin. Had they remained un-
opposed there is no doubt that
Iran instead Of being an inn
portant asset in our efforts to
prevent further Soviet aggres-
sions would have become a
reluctant but obedient Soviet
satellite.
The attempt to murder Ala
took place on the eve Of the
spectacular 5,00o-mile good
will" tour Of Asia by Kremlin
Bosses Bulganin and Khrush-
chev. They will spend several
weeks In an effort to further
consolidate the Soviet ties with
India. Burma and whatever
other important Asiatic spots
may be favored with the Bull
ganin smiles and KhrushcheV
antics.
Europe has been temporarily
relegated to second place in
the Soviet schedule. North
Africa and the Middle East
are most important for the
immediate future. There the.
Soviet diplomats have done a
good job by selling arms at
bargain prices to the Arabs
who are willing to take them,
It is in the Middle and Far
East where the forgers of the
spirit Of Geneva are concen-
trating their main efforts, be-
cause it is there that they are
most vulnerable and the
American influence has not
been disposed Of entirely.
The connection which may
exist between the attempt on
Alas life and the activities Of
the Soviet in that area possibly
is a demonstration to the
Asiatics that a representative
Of the "angered Iranian pub
lie" wanted to do away with
the strongly pro-American and
pro-Western Premier.

World Now Knows Which Side
Is Standing in the Way Of Peace

bought ct any price. The two
Geneva conferences have re-
vealed that, though Western
statesmen are polite and cour-
teous in the conferences, they
have not lost sight Of the main
issues and on these there will
be no compromise.
What has encouraged Mos
COW has been the argument
so often repeated by the de-
featist section of the press in
this country and Great Brit
ain. It is an argument which
constantly berates Britain,
France. and the United States
for failing to compromise +"
When there is an issue of basic
principle in which an evil force
collides with morality, there
can be no compromise. That's
why all the palpable appease-
ment talk of trading" and
bargaining" has been mis-
chievous before and during the
Geneva conferences.
1t may well be that the
whole project Of trying to
bring about some kind Of un-
derstanding with the Soviet
government now has really re-
ceived its biggest impetus. II.
for instance. the Soviet rulers
have been convinced that Brit
ain, France and the United
States are not going to sur
render on any vital issues, It
may be that the Kremlin will
realize at long last that they
must come up with substantial
concessions even to enable
them to retain some Of what
they have acquired.
The Moscow strategists have
been angling for q status
quo" This means they want to
keep a divided Germany and a
group of satellites indefinitely
under their yoke. But the
status quo" means to stand
still. It means things as they
are" In this day and age of
popular unrest there can be
no such thing. The ferment
Of discomfort and incipient
revolution Is always present.

ure." For the truth is the talks
have by no means ended"
and it really was a failure only
for Soviet Russia-not for the
West.
In a broad sense, the two
Geneva conferences have in
deed proved a real success
for the United States. Britain
and France. Any appraisal
must take into account the
original objectives Of Russia
and of the West.
So far as President Eisen-
hover and Secretary Of State
Dulles are concerned, when
they agreed to the Geneva
conference idea, it was not
because they had any illusions
about Soviet readiness TO ac-
cept a reunification of Ger
many or independence for the
satellite states. The fact is
the United States, Great Brit
ian and France were anxious
to demonstrate 10 the peoples
of Germany and the satellite
states that Soviet Russia was
blocking the way to peace.
1t was often said before the
conferences began that. II
Russia made important con-
cessions, the world would
benefit but that. even If they
didn't come through. a face
to-face talk by the authorized
negotiators would "clear the
air" The ''air" certainly has
been cleared" Everybody now
knows which side is standing
In the way of peace in an
atomic era.
But the most important as
pect of what has just hap
pened is that Soviet Russia
has failed in her objective. It
Is the Communist failure"
that deserves the headlines.

Canadian Blood in
Jail As Suspect
For Hotel Burglary

John Vielle, a Canadian BLOOD
Indian, who recently disappeared
from the County jail at Cut Bank
is again behind its bars, being
taken there pending first federal
court action for an alleged burg
larry in Browning one night last
week.
Vielle, who is said to have a
prison record in Alberta, sought
to provide himself with funds by
scooping money out of the Ye-
gen hotels office cash register.
According to witness, a
youth who happened to be in the
office at the time, Vielle waited
until the night clerk, Krebsbach,
availed him an opportunity.
KrebSbach had left the office
momentarily to accommodate a
guest in one of the rooms. While
absent he heard the ring of the
cash register as it was sprung
open. By the time he got back to
the office Vielle had fled.
Phoning the police immediate
ly he was able to give them We'll
les description. Shortly later he
was picked up in one of the bars.
He had spent IS of the stolen
money, the balance which was
Identified by Krebsbach as that
taken from the cash register, be-
ing recovered.
Since the state of Montana is
without jurisdiction in handling
major crimes of Indians, which
includes burglary, Vielle's case
is a federal one AS with others
coming under federal jurisdic-
ton, the practice is to hold a
prisoner temporarily in a feder-
ally-approved city or county Jail

partly to housing federal prison.
