The Republican right is still
for Lincoln but it is dissem-
bling its love for Mr.. Eisen-
hover. It will meet Saturday
in Chicago in a kind of rump
convention to hear what it re-
CARDS as sound doctrine from
Senators Mccarthy, Malone
and Dirksen and Gov. J. Brac-
ken Lee of Utah.
Senator Mccarthy is billed
to talk about the Acheson-
Dulles foreign policy-he's
against it. He has scheduled
other speeches in the Midwest
and East on the same topic.
1t is a brave show, but in
striking contrast to last year
when the Republican National
Committee formally included
him as one Of the star turns
Of the Lincoln celebrations. His
offering was the renowned "20
years of treason" to which
party officials then took no
exception. The trouble is he
has altered the figure now to
"21" as his chosen title in
dicates.
The committee blandly says
it got no requests for Senator
Mccarthy this year and that

During interrogation by
counsel for the Personnel
Security Board of the Atomic
Energy Commission, the testi-
mony runs as follows:
"Counsel-Now let us go
back to your interview with
Col. Pash august 26. 1943D.
Did you tell Pash the truth
about this thing?
"Oppenheimer-No.
"CounSel-You lied to him?
"Oppenheimer-YeS
"Counsel-Let us move along
to your interview with Col.
LanSdale. on September 12-
"Oppenheimer-Right.
"Counsel-Did you tell him
substantially the same story
you told Col. Pash?
"Oppenheimer-I don't know
whether he repeated it to me
or ! repeated it to him.
"Counsel-In all events, if
he repeated it to YOU
"Oppenheimer-I did not
modify it.
"Counsel-You affirmed it as
the truth?
"Oppenheimer-YeS.
"Counsel-So you lied to
him, too?
"Oppenheimer That is
right"
Why do men lie to their own
Government? What standard
do they apply to themselves,
and why do their fellow men so
often condone such offenses
and seek to vilify the Govern
ment officials who in perform
ance of their duty cast liars
out of the Government? Maybe
morals mean less and less in
the present age among those
who have an theological de-
votion to the Machiavelian
cause wherein the end always
juStifieS the means.

There's great glee these
days among the Communists
because Harvey Matusow. q
former Communist. now says
he lied in his testimony which
helped to convict some Com
munists in the Federal courts
and reflected on many a per-
son he mentioned in congress
sional hearings. The Depart
ment of Justice has subpoe-
naed him to go before a grand
jury and tell his new story
under oath.
If one ex-Communist can
be discredited. then presum-
ably all are Observation-Disclosures
the new Communist line. and
it is regrettable that so many
well = meaning people have
fallen for the trick. Attorney
General Brownell says the in
cident is being made the sub
ject of worldwide propaganda
by the Communists.
The last chapter in the
Matusow case hasn't been
written and, when it is, there
may be some bushes on the
faces of those who now are so
exultant. It isn't established
as yet. for example, just what
induced Matusow to say now
that he has been Lying. Nor
is it clear yet that he was not
telling the truth in the first
place.
Something of the same mys-
terry surrounds the case of DR..
j. Robert Oppenheimer. who
was never proved to be a Com
munist, although he did ad-
NIT under oath that he had
supported financially som e
Communist front organiza-
tions. The noted scientist,
moreover, acknowledged that
he had lied to his own Gov
ernment about certain Soviet
efforts to get atomic informa-

WiII COP. Go 1t Alone?
Mccarthy -Dirksen Faction Is Still for Abe Lincoln,
Even If 1t Is No Longer Entronced by Eisenhower

In 225 Lincoln Day dinners
from coast to coast, leading
Republicans will beat the
draft Ike" drums this week.
The chorus will reach a cres-
cendo February II when the
national committee meets here
to select a national convention
site.
President Eisenhower and
Vice President Nixon are mod
estly remaining aloof from the
celebrations. The Vice Presi-
dent is making a good will
tour of the Caribbean. The
trip has long been planned
but he was not asked to post
pone it.
1t Is just as well. So many
upturned d Republican faces
might inspire him to some of
those injudicious flights OF
oratory that Democrats find
SO irritating. In the present
crisis of foreign policy it is
obviously better not to irri-
tate the opposition which con-
trolls Congress.
The Vice President can be
expected to watch with the
political reporters to see how
often his name gets mentioned
amid the general eloquence.

DC. Residents Again Seek Vote
Columnst Sees Something Wrong in Annual Farce
Which Keeps Capital Of Democracy Disfronchised

This is the year 1855, isn't
It?
1t is 1856 years since the Con-
stitution went into effect, isn't
it? This is the Capital City of
the United States, isn't it? The
United States looks upon itself
as the worlds greatest de-
mocracy, doesn't it?
Then there must be some
thing wrong with this picture
here before us-here in a COM
mittee room of the Senate of
the United States. We have
seen it all before and yet to
this resident, at least, there is
always an unreal quality about
it. It is like being transported
suddenly to some never-never
land. That is, if you believe
the speeches you hear here on
Capitol Hill about what the
United States stands for in the
world.
What are these men and
women doing here before this
Senate committee?
Why, they are asking that
they and other people who live
in the Capital City of the
United States--nearly 100000
of us-be permitted to vote, to
elect our own officials. to run
our own city affairs, in brief.
have democracy like everybody
else in the country, what we
call "home rule" in our quaint
way. We'd also like to be able
to vote for President every four
years, especially since that
official is a neighbor and fell
low citizen.
These men and women here
are witnesses" before the
District OF Columbia Commit
tee of the Senate. There are

Strange as this all may
seem, it happens every year.
This year the regular routine
got going a bit earlier. Chair
man Neely, Democrat, West
Virginia, decided to set aside
a morning and give the home

while Congress is mostly mark
ing time.
The bills introduced regu-
larly to permit us to vote and
have "home rule" vary In

ton from him and that sew
eral months elapsed before he
would admit that he had lied.
This doesn't seem to have
affected the evaluation of DR..
Oppenheimer by many scien-
lists. Indeed, a branch of the
Ford Foundation is spending
money nowadays to finance a
television script made by DR..
Oppenheimer recently which
is being distributed to many
colleges and educational in
stitutions. Evidently, lying to
ones own Government doesn't
make much difference to mod
ern "intellectuals." Apparent
ly in some quarters DR.. OPP
penheimer is being glorified
as a martyr who allegedly is
the victim of a persecution by
the four naughty members of
the Atomic Energy Commits
sion who voted 4 to / to deny
him access to secret informa-
ton in the Governments pos
session.
There are people in the Gov
ernment, however, who think
DR.. Oppenheimer never did lie
in the first place but changed
his story when he told it the
second time. The facts prob
ably will never be known, and
the only thing available is the
published record with the SCI
entist's own words given in Of
fetal testimony last year.

tion about the information he
had given intelligence officers
of the U. S. Army who were
on the track of a case of
espionage involving persons
who had approached DR.. OPP

The French Enigma
frances Hybrid Policies Seen Threat
Against Efforts of the Free World

after the signing of the Wet
Nam armistice. What was dis.
cussed is, of course, not known
here But it is known that
Mr.. Mendes-France helped
torpedo the European Defense
Community pact. the core Of
an effective NATO.
The subsequent Paris treaties
giving Germany limited SOW
ereignty and allowing her to
organize an army did nothing
to improve the strength of
NATO. Many of the German
people look upon the pacts
with suspicion and seem to
prefer the Soviet offer of a
union between East and West
Germany for the price of Ger
man neutrality. They seem to
prefer this to becoming in
volved in rearmament on the
side of the Western powers.
Had Mr.. Mendes-Franc staked
everything on the ratification
of the EDO instead of tor
pedoing it, the German people
unquestionably would have
agreed to join their manpower
with that of the NATO mem
bers.
The political spectacle France
is offering today to a worried
and torn world is far from
inspiring. Cabinet crises fol-
low each other with boring
regularity. No government has
lasted more than 10 months
since Frances liberation. And
after each such crisis the same
faces appear again. France
seems to be disintegrating, al
though it is probably the rich
est country in Europe with his
torical. cultural and political
background matched by none
of her neighbors. And this
process appears to be going on
at time when the free world
needs more desperately than
ever a semblance of unity and
solidarity.
We have been a sideline wit
ness to this tragedy which
started soon after the end Of
the Franco-German War in
1871 and was accentuated
after World War I. Today we
have become an intensely in
terested party. Our entire
strategic concept of defense
against the growing threat
from Communist imperialism
is based on the ability Of West
ern Europe to stand up in the
present crisis. Our policy
makers even now are placing
the Far East as No. 2 in their
diplomatic calculations.
In the ominous conflict with
the Reds across the Pacific we
draw much of our political in
spirations from what our allies
across the Atlantic say is best
for us and, Of course, for them.
The tens of billions extracted
from the taxpayers pockets
have been spent principally on
our allies across the Atlantic,
with France taking q large
share. We have been told re-
peatedly that this expenditure
would be fruitful in the end.
Once France got back on her
feet with our assistance she
would become one of the main
stays of Western defense.
Mr.. Pinay may be able to
form a makeshift cabinet with
the usual combination Of Of
ficeseekers from the various
splinter parties from the right,
center and right-wing social
lists. But his chances Of re-
naming in office for any
length of time are as slim az
those Of all his predecessors.
France, more than any other
country in Western Europe,
seems to need "a man on q
white horse" But none has
appeared on the horizon so
