sided with the unions who
were on the Democratic Party
side.
The tales Of organization
warfare In the Republican
ranks are more numerous than
among the Democrats. In
Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
New York and New Jersey. the
scars of the last three years of
battling between Republican
factions were plainly visible in
the results.
In Philadelphia, for exam
pie, the Republican nominee
turned his back on his own
organization. His indiscretion
was condemned by a leading
Republican newspaper. So In
the end the Republican pre-
cinct workers didn't do the job
that an organization is sup
posed to do. Victory without
organization is difficult. espe-
cially In local elections.
No inference can be drawn
that because Philadelphia went
Democratic, Pennsylvania is in
the bag for the Democrats. In
1862, the Democrats carried
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh by
big majorities---in fact, Adlai
Stevenson carried the Quaker
City by q bigger margin than
the Democratic nominee for
Mayor did this year - but
Eisenhower won the States
electoral vote.
Whatever appraisals are
made, based on such compare
sons, the effect Of this weeks
elections win be to impress
upon the Republican Party ma
tionally that 1t is up against
some active organizations on
the opposite side. especially the
labor union bloc. 1t amounts
to the same thing as If another
major party had come into the
arena. The elections contain
a warning for the Republicans
that 1855 is going to be a
bitterly fought campaign.

still wavering between East
and West. But because Of its
strong antagonism TO Israel
nobody would be surprised to
see it join the bloc which the
USSR is contemplating in the
Middle East.
The situation in Morocco
and Algeria is improving on
the surface only. The deep
hatred engendered by the re-
cent clashes between Arabs
and the French may give the
Red agents more than q $3.50
chance to prevent an ac-
tual reconciliation. particularly
since the French government
cannot satisfy all the demands
of the Arab leaders.
All of these states are allergic
to communism. But because
of their intense hostility to
Israel and because they regard
the United States as their
enemy's champion they are
switching politically, but not
ideologically, to the Commu-
mist orbit. Whether our Dip
lomats will be sufficiently skiIl-
full to show their leaders what
eventually will happen to them
personally and also to their
peoples as a result Of this
switch remains to be seen.
But in the meantime the
USSR has lost no time in TAX

down at the same table with
US you. and not we, are sabo-
taging reunion"
The East German govern
ment Is certainly not repre-
sentative In the usual sense
Of that term. It Is doubtful
whether it could win more
than 10 per cent Of TIE votes
In q really free election. But
q government may be repre-
sentative in another sense,
namely, that It represents q
universally popular aspiration,
shared by an overwhelming
majority and Is in the best
position to effect its realiza-
tion.
Some West Germans who
would never vote for commu-
nisn1 are already asking why
the Bonn government should
not ct least sound out the East
German government on the
mechanics by which reunion
could be achieved. and I should
guess their number viii in
crease II reunion is long post
poned.
At present the reunion
movement is not a tidal wave.
But Germans have only begun
to realize that they have any
initiative Of their own. Various
possible developments - such
as an economic recession
could spark q new national
crusade In q country where
swings Of opinion have often,
In the past, been sudden and
violent. And for this the Cora-
rnunists seem prepared while
the West German parties are
not. In such o movement the
Communists might, and !
think would. find allies at the
extreme right, among neo-
Nazis, army officers. neutral
lists, industrial managers. etc.
Nothing indicates q revival
Of naziism but rather ofAa pos
sible national and very Ger
man bolshevisn1--a tendency
that existed In the left wing Of
the original Nazi Party, which
was purged by Hitler.

Republicans Divided on Labor

associated with Senator Taft
in the drafting Of the Taft
Hartley Act. Rodgers has two
friends on the Presidents
staff who were associated with
him In that enterprise. Gerald
Morgan. the Presidents coun-
sci. and Jack Martin, a legis-
lative aide who was Taft's adj
ministrative assistant.
Labor leaders assert that
Rodgers hates unions and has
voted against them In q long
line of decisions. They were
amazed when he recently told
q San Francisco audience that
labor leaders were men with
the best interests Of the coun-
try ut heart and praised the
AFL-CIO merger.
While they were still gog-
Cling over these remarks, their
Teamster colleague, Dave Beck,
suddenly extended the hand Of
friendship to Rodgers. At the
same time Beck said he had
voted for Eisenhower, and for
Dewey in 194e.
One Beck associate remarked
that Dave, q businessman to
the core--his fine new Team
sters' headquarters here is a
showplace--had been holding
out his hand to Republicans
for q long time but that
Rodgers was the first to take 1t.
At this point, supporters of
Rothman and Rodgers don't
know exactly where to turn
since patronage problems are
being kept from the President.

Powerful Political Influence
OF Unions Shown in Indicno

collected either from dues or
so-called voluntary contribu-
tions Of labor union members
Of both parties?
Indiana wasn't the only
place where union activity was
evident. It emerged In many
other States where Industrial
workers had moved into
smaller towns following q
shift of plants to the country
areas. This is bound to be
a continuous movement be-
cause of the desire Of indus
try to decentralize in order
to meet the threat of atomic
warfare against the big cities.
There are worries, on the
other hand. in this weeks
elections for the Democrats,
too. Thus. their leaders in
Congress have been support
ing a plan for more highway
construction based on higher
gasoline taxes. But In New
York State the people voted
down a $3.50 million bond issue
plan because Of organized pro-
tests that the higher taxes
wouldn't be spent only for
highways. The Republican plan
in Congress for financing new
roads seems, therefore, to be
preferred by voters.
Looking over the national
scene, the professionals see a
Polish ward in a big city going
Republican for the first time.
and this tells the Democrats
that the controversy over Yalta
and the sellout Of Poland isn't
an insignificant issue after all.
The foreign-born vote In sew
eral big cities is at stake.
What the experienced politi-
clans Of both parties viii note.
moreover. is that organized
minorities can swing elections.

Those who have extolled the
spirit Of Geneva as the diplo-
matte master stroke of all ages
are now taking stock Of the
collapse Of the foreign min
listers conference which was
called to implement the great
general decisions reached last
August at the summit confer
ence.
The picture is not pretty.
Something must be done in a
hurry to cover up q dismal
failure for which neither Presi-
dent Eisenhower nor Secretary
Of State Dulles can be blamed.
Both had great misgivings
about the summit conference.
As q matter Of fact, it is an
open secret that Mr.. Eisen-
hover went to Geneva against
his better judgment. He felt
compelled to yield to pressing
requests from London. The
Conservative Party leaders felt
that unless such q meeting took
place they could not win the
election. And after the meet
ing with the men in the Krem-
lin, the Chief Executive and
his Secretary Of State could do
nothing but "enter into the
spirit" and try to keep 1t
alive with optimistic though
unrealistic statements.
Mr.. Eisenhower and his State
Department advisers took a
calculated risk but they did
not expect that while the
Geneva spirit was still fresh
the USSR would inject itself
into the one strategic area
from which 1t had been ex-
cluded-the Near and Middle
East.
It was only after the gath
ering Of the heads of state
Of the four great powers that
the Soviets were able to con-
vince the Egyptians to accept
arms from them. The Rus
SLAMS want TO make that vital
strategic region into another
tinder box and do not care
who wins in a bloody conflict
as long as trouble can be
created.
We may not have been par
ticularly brilliant in handling
the Israel-Egyptian situation.
We may have been overconfi-
dent in believing that the
sturdy anti Communist Arabs
would never accept Red assist
ance - even II offered prac-
tically free. We may have been
deluded by the philosophy Of
the "few one-worlders" in this
country into the belief that
.r1ationalism Is dying quickly:
thus we may have nlisjudged
the strong and virulent Arab
nationalism. We have done all
those things because Of the
misconception that we could
play along with the Reds and
also dilly- daily IN the Near
and Middle East without CIV
ing the Russians their chance.
The Russians acted quickly,
while our public was being
told. particularly by our lib
erals" that so long as we re-

Republicans are facing both
ways on labor as they head
into the presidential year.
One wing of the party has
been noticeably pursuing
within recent days the divide
and conquer strategy with
which the late Senator Taft
won his final striking victory
in Ohio.
The @. o. P. Policy Com
mittee, Chairman Goldwater

Knowland have in turn ap-
pealed- to union members over

They have complained Of

invoked the shade OF Samuel
Gompers to persuade the rank

He has stoutly insisted that
the Presidents social and eco
nomic policies have benefited
