Proves Successful

GASTONIA N. c. - When
the w. B. Garrisons of Gas
tonia. N. c.. built their summer
home on the Chetola Estate of
Blowing Rock, N. c. in 1888
they "papered" the walls of two
bedrooms with cotton print
cloth.
Today those rooms look Just
as bright and colorful as ever
and the only upkeep required
through the years has been an
occasional Wiping with a damp
cloth. There has been no fad
ing.
The matcrial was pasted on
sheet rock without a wrinkle
and looks like conventional
wallpaper. The cloth used in the
Garrison home was not an ex-
pensive fabric and had no spe-
cial treatment or finishing to
adapt it to this special use,

to uphold the basic provisions

Then membership In the

This is from the leading edito-

the Interpretation Of the rest

But this was not the West
ern proposal on the German
question. The West did not
propose to put a Germany uni
fed by free elections into the
Western military alignment.
The Western view was that no
government exists that is able
to commit all Germany to any,

The French government is
careful not to further muddy

this reason it has refrained
from making public the fact
that Soviet agents have been
captured in the recent upris-
ings in Morocco and Algeria.
Nor has Britain or France
raised any official protests

Package Deal to Admit Satellites
Defies Provisions of u. N. Charter

Rarely in world history has
there been such a glaring ex-
ample Of concessions to i'm
morality by a supposedly moral
organization as in the proposed
acceptance of package deal"
by the United Nations where
by governments plainly unable
to carry out the obligations
of the Charter are to be ad-
mitted as members.
For II row is proposed that
!. the governments of Romania,
Bulgaria. Hungary, Albania
and Outer Mongolia. which
are puppets under the control
of the Soviet Union-itself a
partner in the conspiracy of
aggression against the free
world--shall be accepted in
defiance of the provisions of
the Charter itself.
These provisions state that
membership is open Ito all
peace -loving states which ac-
cept the obligations contained
in the present Charter and
which, in the Judgment of
the present organization, are
able and willing to carry out
these obligations"
What are the obligations?
They are set forth in many
articles of the Charter. One
article says that the organiza-
ton is based ION the sovereign
equality pf all its members. :"
Another article says:
aAiI members shall give the
United Nations every assist
ance in any action it takes
in accordance with the pro-
visions of the present Charter,
and shall refrain from giving
assistance to any state against
which the United Nations is
taking preventive or enforce
ment action"

with the Soviet drive among
the Asians who have been
heretofore spared the cold war.
Messrs. Bulganin and Khrush-
chev realize that the United
States will be in a difficult sit
uation until after the next
elections. Much as some party
leaders may wish to keep for
eign policies out of the CAM
paign, this will not be possible
and whatever acts the present
administration undertakes in
the months to come will be
subjected to strong partisan
criticism.
Political knives are being
sharpened for Secretary Dulles
scalp. Accusations, not only
from Democratic quarters. are
soon to be heard that he Is
muffing the ball and is per-
mitting the Russians to run
away with their new type Of
assistance to the peoples in
the Near East and Southern
Asia.
Mr.. Dulles is being urged by
some of President Eisenhower's
personal advisers to start q
new "me too policy of give
away to counter the Soviet
inroads in Near Eastern and
Asian backward areas. At the
same time he is being advised
to maintain an uncompromis-
ing policy in the Arab Israel
conflict in which the Musco-
vites have taken a strong
stand by providing Egypt and
its allies with all the war ma
terial they want.
Mr.. Dulles is likely to oppose
the extremist point of view and
seek, as usual, some middle-of-
the-road policy. But whatever
he does in his particular field
is likely to become a contro-
versial subject in the months Of
active political campaigning in
the United States. His idea
that assistance should be on q
selective basis-help our proven
friends and ignore the poten-
tial enemies--is bound to come
under severe partisan criti-
cisrn.

Briekbots Hurled by Republicans
In 81, SO and '54 Are Recalled

The top Republicans who are
trying to put foreign policy
out of bounds in the 1856 cam
paign are giving the Democrats
credit either for complete loss
of memory or a truly formi-
dable capacity for Christian
charity.
AS a political maneuver
their efforts are a flop. DEM
ocrats are inflamed by their
pious attitudes and observers
are recalling with relish the
proficiency shown by these
same Republicans with foreign
policy brickbats in 1852, 1853
and 1854.

Hent by Senator George, Dem
ocrat Of Georgia. that foreign

ident Nixon chimed in, sup
porting Eisenhower. Then
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles got into the act. just as
George was beating a retreat
to the stand that constructive
criticism was okay.
Dulles loftily called on both
Republicans and Democrats to
abstain from bipartisan debate"
in the coming campaign. He
incantiouSly added that Re-
publicans had an excellent rec
ord in this regard.
That tore it. Democrats re-
gard Eisenhower as an echo
and Nixon as an imitator OF
whatever tactic seems most
likely to succeed at the time.

But Dulles in their view is the
architect of what they call the
slander that their failures were
tainted with treason.
1t was Dulles who wrote the
foreign policy plank of the
Republican platform in 1852
which charged that Democrats
were carrying on the Korean
war without will to victory"
The day Democrats in power
in 1852 forget that phrase will
be when they are carried out
feet first to their eternal rest.
The Dulles plank spelled out
the charge in many ingenious
ways.

"Adlai the Appeaser =. a

He also called Stevenson
a "dupe" who never regretted
his action in defending Alger
Hiss.
Nixon followed up the
G. o. p. victory with a mem-
orable telecast in which he
said; And isn't 1t wonderful,
folks. to have a Secretary Of
State who will stand up to the
Russians?" This, too. is en-
graved upon the hearts of
many Democrats besides the
immediate target. Acheson.
Still undaunted in 1854.
Nixon spearhesded the Repub-
lican campaign for the Con-
gress with imputations Of soft
ness toward communism on the
part of Democratic candidates
for the Senate and their party
generally.
All this provoked former
President Truman to some
meaty epithets shedding heat,
not light. but avoiding the
brand of treason. The most
Stevenson could bring himself
to do in 1852 was to remind
Nixon in an indignant broad
cast that one Of the Ten
Commandments forbade false
