:THOMAS L. STOKES
:: The Bankers in Our Government

the commission, Edward F.
Howrey, to inte4cede with the
Budget Bureau to restore
funds. During the Evins in
quiry, Chairman Howrey has
been questioned about his ad-
ministration, the changes in
personnel, and the conduct Of
cases. and constantly it has
been brought up that he was
for many years a lawyer rep
reSenting big business clients
before the FTC.
During his own testimony,
former Commissioner Spingarn
told how Chairman Howrey
had revealed early in his ad-
ministration that he was hav-
ing to resist enormous pres
sure" for jobs in the FTC
from the Republican National
Committee which, he said. was
trying to find places in the
Government for 5000 Repub-
licanS.
Testimony developed thus far
in the FTC phase of the House
investigation-the policy orders
from the Budget Bureau which
is an adjunct Of the White
House, the political pressures
from the Republican National
Committee-contribute to the
picture Of deterioration of the
FTC, and of other regulatory
commissions, that were created
originally by Congress as arms
OF Congress to administer reg
ulatory laws. and to be COM
pletely Independent of the ex-
ecutive branch. This deteri-
grafton is blamed on a Hoover
Commission reorganization
order. approved by Congress
in the Truman administration,
that gave the President power
to name the chairman, and
empowered the chairman to
appoint the staff and exercise
control over it. Consequently
the White House now exerts
direct influence through the
line Of authority running from
the chairman to personnel and
policy.
Repeal Of the Hoover Com
mission order, which applies
to several other regulatory
commissions. was urged by Mr..
Spingarn and also by Commis-
sioner James M. Mead, another
Democrat, who is retiring soon,
and who was the first chair
man to serve under the en-
larged powers Of the Hoover
Commission order.

Communists Vetoinq World Peace

government in Soviet Russia,
the signing Of an All-European
collective security treaty such
as Bulganin has proposed
would be acceptable to every
body. The words of the pro-
posed text are, with some few
exceptions, applicable to a
system of European security
to which all nations in the
West would subscribe-if there
were mutual trust. Bulganin,
however. has forgotten the
main point-the Importance of
the authority back Of the gov
ernment which is to perform
the acts specified in the So
year treaty.
If there is no authority other
than the tyranny of a few
men - an oligarachy which
rules by force and can start
an aggressive war at any
moment-then the treaty loses
any value 1t might otherwise
have as a means Of assuring
peace.
If the treaty is backed by
a freely elected parliament
with constitutional guaran-
tees to the individual citizen,
then it could easily become a
substitute for the North At
lantic Treaty and the Paris
accords when Germany is re-
unified and has its own ma
tional ernm e mt freely
chosen by the people.
There probably is wide
spread disappointment at the
turn Of events in Geneva. but
the fact is Geneva develop
ments have cleared the air
and pointed the real way to
peace-through the action of
the people Of Soviet Russia
led by those men who know
that the continuance of a
dictatorship keeps alive the
threat of war. but that the
birth of a free government
means the death of war.

Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek Is reported to have or
dered an around-the-clock
vigil In Formosa and the off,
shore islands. He is said to
expect a Communist sneak at
tack either during or soon
after the Geneva conference.
The Soviet delegation is
pledged to raise the question of
a relaxation of the tension in
the Far East on the basis of
a surrender of the Quemoy and
Matsu islands and a later dis
cusSion of the fate of the
present Nationalist government
in Formosa.
President Eisenhower and
Secretary of State Dulles have
assured congressional leaders,
and indirectly the Chinese
Nationalist government. that
they will not be drawn into
any discussions on the Far
Eastern problem. unless this
is done in the presence Of
heads Of states Of the remain
ing free governments.
The prevailing thought in
Peiping is that the United
States may need a "little push
ing" in order to see the light
Of day in regard to the Far
East. The strong determine
ton of the United States, rep
resented by Mr.. Eisenhower's
statements in that matter and
backed almost unanimously by
Congress. does not seem to
have made much, impression
on the ruling circles in Peiping.
According to seemingly ver-
ifled reports. Moscow has been
able to restrain its Peiping
ally since last May, when an
attack on the offshore islands
was decided on by the Chinese
Reds. At that time the SUM
NIT" conference was in the
making and the Muscovites
felt that Peiping's case might
be won at a conference table
rather than on a doubtful
battlefield. At that time also

also as having personal rea-
sons for leaving the presidency
of North Carolina University
and coming here.
Reports Of Mr.. Wilson's at
titude plus the fact Mr.. Gray
is apparently an Eisenhower
Democrat may dampen the
deep suspicion entertained by
some Democrats that the Pres
ident is planning to pull a
Roosevelt-type coup on them
next year. During the 1940
Republican National Conven-
ton Mr.. Roosevelt appointed
two Republicans to his cab
met, Stimson to Army and
Knox to Navy. It has been
thought possible that Mr..
Eisenhower might put Demo-
crat Gray into Mr.. Wilson's
job about the time the Demo-
Gratis were trying to pull them
selves together at Chicago next
summer.
Easily the star of the Guam
tico meeting was Gen. Max
we'll D. Taylor, the new Army
Chief of Staff, who gave a
secret briefing on Japan and
Korea. His impressive per-
formance was not matched by
his new civilian chief, Army
Secretary Brucker. who was
easily lost in the crowd. The
new Deputy Defense Secre-
tary, Reuben Robertson, jr.,
Mr.. Anderson's successor, kept
in the background and gave
no clear impression of his
capabilities.
Final note on United States
military posture at this point:
One Quantico participant
counted 28l stars on the shoul-
ders of those present. Then he

Sooner or Later, Soviet People viii Find
A Counter-RevoIutionory Army Leader

The men who rule Soviet
Russia have listened to the
fine, friendly words of their
colleagues at Geneva and have
been wined and dined by them.
but the Soviet answer is just
the same-the North Atlantic
Treaty and the Paris accords
drawn up by the West must be
scrapped and a new organiza-
ton established in which Mos
COW wants to exercise a veto
power.
Few persons outside Geneva
familiar with diplomatic his
tory are surprised by the bold
and defiant maneuver which
negates all the words Of con-
Citation that have been ,ut-
tered, but again few persons
in Geneva probably are sur
prised either.
For the worlds balance Of
power doesn't change because
OF a conference of the heads
OF governments. Nor are the
facts of mutual distrust and
fear removed by negotiation.
Perhaps the biggest story Of
the last "a hours isn't in Ge-
neva at all. It's down in
Buenos Aires, where the fer
ment of discomfort is slowly
but surely forcing a Dictator
ship out of power. Previous
attempts to remove President
Peron have failed, but the
murmurs have not been stilled.
The fires of revolution are
being kindled anew.
Argentina points a lesson to
Soviet Russia. For, sooner or
later, the people find high up
in the armed services men who
force the issue and compel the
dictators to step down.
1t could be that the seeds of
revolution in Soviet Russia are
being sown by the news ema-

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Expects Sneak Attack Either During
Or Soon After Geneva Conference

the American naval forces in
the Formosan straits were
stronger than they are at
present.
The Chinese Communists
themselves were not quite pre-
pared for an attack even on
the offshore islands, and were
worried lest they get a black
eye. This would have def
nitely jeopardized the Soviets'
chances to lay the foundations
for a solution" of the Far
Eastern problems at Geneva to
be followed by an American
Chinese conference soon there
after. The Kremlin feels con-
fident that in this particular
matter it will have the British
and French moral support.
The showing aside of the
German unity question by the
Russians is said to have an
noyed the British as much
as it has annoyed us.
Peiping, which certainly had
definite information about
the USSR stand on that
matter. feels that its ally will
not get very far at Geneva
with its proposals for a So
luton in Asia.
Chang Kai-shek and his
military advisers assume that
a Red attack may be now in
the offing to place before the
United States an accom-
plished fact. The Communist
military preparations were
completed early this month.
Their troops have been in
position for some time. But
earlier their airf1elds, capable
of taking more than 1000
planes, were not ready; neither
had the latest jet planes
(bombers and fighters) ar
rived from the USSR. After
certain difficulties, military
equipment provided for the
Mao Use tung Khrushchev
agreements signed in Peiping
last fall began to arrive in
large quantities.
According to Nationalist in

telligence. as well as our own,
the Chinese Communists now
are in a sufficiently advanta-
geous state of preparedness to
risk an attack at least against
Qaemoy or Matsu or both.
They have particularly the
air power to attempt to
smother the islands with high
explosives. 1t is true that the
Nationalist air force has
been som ewhat increased
lately. But it is nowhere near
as strong at the Communist.
Our own carrier force in the
Formosa strait has been
weakened by some with
drawals.
The assumption of the Ma
tionalists is that at this time
the Reds feel that they can
attack the offshore islands re-
gardless of cost, to demon
strate their power. Psycholog-
ically. say these sources, the
moment is more appropriate
than in the past. The Reds
reckon that love feasts at :
Geneva: the broad smiles of
the Russians and the hope for
peace at almost any price
which has prevailed for more
than two years in Europe could
have spread over America as
well. In any case there may be
no harm in trying a surprise
attack against islands which
the American Government is T
undecided whether to help de-
fend A successful attack could
bring about the much-sought
direct American Chinese Com
muniSt conversations, partic-
ularly if the Peiping govern
ment shows good will towards
the United States by liberat-
ing at the psychological mo-
ment the American prisoners
still held in China jails.
Whether the information
and the analysis of the imme- ~
diate intentions of the Pei
ping government are accurate
or not. the Nationalist govern
ment is taking no chances and
is taking every conceivable
measure to ward off a possible ..
Red sneak attack.

DORIS FLEESON

The annual three-day con-
ference of cabinet officials and
top military leaders last week
end came away with the firm
, opinion that Secretary Of De-
) fense Wilson has enlisted for
the duration. Political lead
! ers have been suggesting that
Republicans will not want to
: 60 into the presidential cam
paign next year with General
Motors, bird dogs and kennel
dogs.
This may still be true. But
> If the impression cleaned by
the large group which re-
viewed military strategy at the
iQuantico Marine base is cor
rect, the President would have
to take a very strong initia-
tive to make the change.
The above impression is not
: founded on any display of
arrogance or brashness by
Mr.. Wilson. These qualities
: at times were apparent in his
early career here when most
of the new team seemed to
feel that Government was a
cinch if you only went about
it in a businesslike way.
For the first time, objective
bystanders felt that Mr.. Will
son was on top of a job he
liked. This was said by men
who admit that Mr.. Wilson
originally made their respect
hard to win. They said that
he showed patience and hu-
mility throughout the GUAM

mating from Geneva. For it
will be evident to the peoples
of the Soviet Union and of
the satellite states that there
can be no hope of peace and
no res.l relief from the threat
of a nuclear war while a die
tatorship rules in Moscow. 1t
is being clearly demonstrated
that the Communists are Veto
ing world peace.
The heart of the problem of
European security is not in the
treaties or proposals for mu-
tual consultation but in the
kind of governments that have
the responsibility for main
tanning peace. The form Of
government may seem to be
an internal matter but the
moment any government be-
comes an external menace the
problem is not confined to any
one country-it affects a whole
continent and perhaps the
whole world.
Whether Argentina is a
dictatorship doesn't affect
world peace, and hence what
has been happening under
Peron in Argentina is, theo-
retically, an internal affair,
while the Communist govern
ment in Moscow is not con-
tent to confine its activities to
the Soviet Union. It reaches
out into all other countries
with its plots and subversive
activities.
The example of Argentina,
however, is significant. For a
determined effort prevails there
to avoid bloodshed, as the
heads Of the army and navy
are engaged in a heroic at
tempt to restore constitutional
government to the people.
When there is a truly free

than himself and deferring to
experienced officers in quite a
new fashion.
Supporting the possibility
that a New Look Wilson is
here to stay is the fact that
his very able deputy, Texan
Bob Anderson, has chosen to
return home to private busi-
ness and possibly q candidacy
for Governor. It had been
widely anticipated that Mr..
Anderson, who with Secretary
of the Treasury Humphrey has
been rated a top star of the
Eisenhower team, was being
groomed to succeed Mr.. Will
son.
Democrats are still puzzled
about why Gordon Gray, Sec
retary of the Army under
President Truman, has come
to the Pentagon to accept a
relatively minor assignment as
one of the dozens of Assistant
Secretaries. 1t is true his new
post is congenial to his tenn
permanent, for it is liaison on
international security with the
State Department, White
House and Congress.
1t was still considered sur
prising that a young. attrac-
tive North Carolina Democrat,
a Truman alumnus with
possible party future before
him. should take the job. Some
illumination may be thrown
on it by Mr.. Gray's admission
this week to North Carolina
reporters that he voted for Mr..
Eisenhower in 1852, as his po-
litical antagonists at home had
been limiting. He is described

Only Now Is the Penetrating Influence
Of fEx-Budget Chief Dodge Fully Realized

has come to light. This is
the Federal Trade Commits
sion which was created by
Congress in 1914. during the
first Woodrow Wilson ad-
ministration, to protect the
public against unfair trade
practices and monopoly. It
was chosen as the first regu-
latory commission to be ex-
plored in the current investi-
CATION of regulatory commits
sions by a House Small
Business subcommittee OF
which Representative Joe L.
Evins, Democrat Of Tennessee,
is chairman.
This Joe Dodge episode re-
lates to the final budget sub
mitted to Congress by Presi-
dent Truman, on the eve Of
his retirement. 1t provided
$5.5 million for the Federal
Trade Com mission. The
first Eisenhower administra-
tion budget. prepared by Mr..
Dodge, cut this to $4.5 million.
But, beyond this slash, the
Budget Bureau also specified
where the cuts were to be
made. 1t eliminated funds
for an investigation of what
happens to the consumers
food dollars-including what
the farmer gets and how
much the middlemen all along
the line take out-an investi-
cation that powerful business
interests sought to prevent
when proposed originally in
Congress. The Budget Bureau
also sharply reduced funds
for antimerger prosecutions
by the FTC and antimonopoly
Investigations.
The story of the Dodge in
tercession was told to the
Evins subcommittee by q
former Democratic member Of
the FTC, Stephen ]. Spingarn,
who was delegated to ham
die budget matters. When
orders for the cuts came to
him orally from the Budget
Bureau, he said he called Di-
rector Dodge to protest and
asked the Director If he would
put the orders in writing.
That Mr., Dodge refused to do,
saying oral instructions were
sufficient.
Mr.. Spingarn testified he
tried, but was unable to get, the
new Republican chairman of
