The Agriculture Department
said today it has accepted rs
agricultural attaches SO men who
had held similar posts under the
State Department. Twelve others
have chosen to remain with the
State DEPARTMENTS Foreign
Service, It added.
But nwesmen were baked in
their efforts to learn the status
Of IL others who, with Wolf
I.adejinsky. made up the remain
der Of the 54-meInher staff Of
attaches whose jobs were trans
ferred from the State to the
Agriculture Department under :
law passed by Congress last year.
Department officials had re-
ported that .stwo or three Of
them had been rejected on Sc
eility grounds. but no names or
details were given.
NeWsmen had heen able to get
-rF
little information regarding the
transfer after disclosure by OUT
side sources that Mr.. Ladeiinsky,
q naturalized. Russian-born
career worker. had been rejected
by Secretary Benson on security
and technical grounds. Mr..
Ladeiinsky, who twice had been
given security clearance by the
State Department. has since
been given q job in Indo-C China
by the Foreign Operations ADJ
miniStration.
Figures Not Revealed.
After the Ladejinsky matter
became public newsmen made
vain efforts to find out how
many Of the State Department
attaches had been accepted by
the Agriculture Department and
their identities. The partial
figures came today from a pub
lie relations ofiicial for the de-
partment's Foreign Agricultural
Service.
But newsmen who asked about
the remaining II attaches were
told they would have to go to

Answer to another question
which had gone unanswered was
supplied In the latest issue Of q

The query related to reported

position.
Gen. Marshall asserted that, 1

Plan would have been difficult, \
if not impossible of achieve
ment. The Senator, president

the plan, but how one oversees

He also paid tribute to the part

in bringing pressure to bear on

When Morse BoIted, He Left His Party;

He was welcomed by Demo-
Gratis in the Senate and given

He had left the Republican
Party long before, in fact with
his desertion of Gen. Eisen-

pendent. Since he disagreed
with the Republican Party and
its head, he followed the hon.

There is q comparable situa-

only on a larger scale. In the
1852 campaign three Southern
Governors-James F. Byrnes
Of South Carolina. Robert F.
Kennon Of Louisiana. and Al
Ian Shivers Of Texas-bolted
the Democratic ticket and
openly supported Gen. Eisen-

The Party Loyalty Oath Dilemma

though 1t split off four South

to realize its aim which was to
drive Harry Truman and the
Fair Deal out of Washington.
The Dixiecrats. you'll remem-
Der. used racial prejudice to try
to rally Southern support.
After that experience, pro-
gressive Southern Democrats
naturally feared another such
separatist movement in 1852.
So at the 1852 Chicago Demo-
cratic convention they Joined

North in the attempt to pledge

that those at the convention,

Eisenhower's Anonymous Aides

Secretary Of Defense is there
In their behalf.
A cabinet committee Of three
could act in a supervisory
capacity with respect not only
to the Government depart
ments but to the executive
agencies and independent COM
missions. The remaining mem
bers Of the cabinet would have
the primary function of ad-
vising the President on every
thing. What has messed UP
the picture in 4 the past has
been the intersection of advice
to a President from the out
side-by persons who have no
responsibility to the public or
to Congress but who enjoy a
telephone friendship with a
President.
Such an irregular and ire
spopsible activity would not be
harmful if a cabinet council
were set up with full RESPONSE
bility alongside the President.
1t could screen outside sug-
geStions and evaluate them in
full discussion with the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Eisenhower recently gave
unofficial status of cabinet
rank, to Harold Stassen to
handle the all-important prob
lem Of disarmament. Yet this
is an international question
and belongs theoretically at
least in the Department of
State. What would have made
this unnecessary would have
been the creation inside the
State Department of a council
of seven men of national
prestige who could give their
full time to policy-making.
They could advise the Secre-
tary of State just as a cabinet
advises a President.
There's need for more per-
sonnet. more advisers, more as.
sistants for the Chief Execu-
tive on both the administrative
and policy-making sides, but
it is desirable that the whole
institution of the presidency be
reorganized on a more sys-
tematic and orderly plan
rather than be left to the hap
hazard basis on which a Presi-
dent operates today. The Con-
gress, moreover, should provide
by law for the new establish
ment instead of letting it drift
along as at present without CO.
ordination or, indeed, RESPONSE
bility directly to Congress or
the people.

er crusade" did turn out to be
an even better implement to
use to try to break up the
South than had the Dixiecrat
movement of four years before,
and thus assure the return Of
conservative control of the Ma
tional Government so ardently
desired by important Southern
interests. Eventually, as was
expected, COWS. Byrnes,
Kennon and Shivers few the
Democratic coop and turned
Republican, though of the
three only Gov. Shivers was
able to deliver and carry his
State for the Republican ticket.
We got tip as to what this
was all about when Gov. Shi-
vers, after failing in a visit to
Springfield. ILL.,. to get Adlai
Stevenson to support the So
called "tidelands" oil bill, went
back home to Texas and an
nounced his support of the Re-
publicans and Gen. Eisenhow-
er who had already pledged
support to transfer of OIL
bearing marginal coastal lands
to the States as desired by the
big oil interests.
That gives you a clue as to
what is back of the loyalty
oath" business. The issue came
out into the open here when
the Humphrey Battle Mitchell
advisory committee came out
with lots Of language which
Mr.. Mitchell and Senator
Humphrey have interpreted to
mean, among other things,
that deserters like Messrs.
Byrnes, Shivers and Kennon
can be denied seats at the 1856
convention If they show UP.
OF course. If it doesn't mean
that, seeing as how the three
gentlemen left the party. then
the advisory committee has
wasted lot Of time.
The committees report goes
before the National Committee
for action in September. Mean
while. there's a campaign on to
try to make martyrs Of the
Southern leaders who left the
Democratic Party but don't
want to go into the Republican
Party.
