ELECTIONS
3 European States,
Jopun Give Hint of
How World Is Goino

Elections in three European
countries and Japan last week
provided a sort of thermome-
ter to indicate the cold-war
temperature around the world.
In Japan, Premier Ichiro
Hatoyama's Democratic Party
came out second best to ex-
Premier Shigeru Yoshida's S Lib
erals in local elections. But, as
usual, the ballots showed
Japan to be fundamentally
conservative. Parties Of the
right won 1870 of the 2,613
seats in Japan's 46 prefectural
assemblies.
In Germany, G hanc e11or
Konrad Adenauer also suffered
setbacks. The Socialists, who
are dead set against rearma-
ment, elected SO Deputies in
the Lower Saxony Parliament
Of 161 members. Herr Aden-
auer's Christian Democrats
got only 43 seats. The Ger
man Chancellor lost prestige.
but still might find his party
coming into the Lower Sax
ony government through a
coalition with lesser parties.
In France, middle-of-th
road candidates won in can
tonal elections, and this was
taken as a good augury for
Premier Edgar Faure. The
ultraconservative Gaullists suf-
fered losses, as did the
Communists. but the latter
planned it that way to throw
their support with the So
ciaists. In general the mildly
conservative and center parties
carried away most of the seats.
In Italy, the joint session of
the bicameral legislature chose
a left-wing member of the
Christian Democrats as Presi-
dent of the Republic: Giovanni
Gronchi, 81. 1t took four bal
lots. The new President sue
ceeds Luigi Einaudi. Some
conservatives worried about
Signor Gronchi's election be-
cause he believes that some
Socialists-maybe even Com
munists-ought to be brought
into the cabinet. His most
important job is to nominate
Premiers. The new President
was supported by Socialists and
Communists as well as Chris
tian Democrats.
In Great Britain, meanwhile.
preparations for the May 26
election were continuing. Per-
haps the most notable event
was the Labor Party's move
to restore Aneurin Bevan to
good standing. Only a few
weeks ago he had been on the
verge of being ousted for in
subordination. Now. with an
election coming up, the Labor
ties are striving for unity.
The Conservatives, however,
are favored tS win.

They face the chore of try

Building, and revamping the

they say, would cost at least
$2.5 million more than their

Evacuation Plan
In Washington, meanwhile,
civil defense officials an,
nounced a new policy of evac-
uation In case of air raids on
the National Capital. Detailed
plans were not yet prepared,
but much of the spadework on
surveys of District streets and
traffic problems had been COM
pleted.
The immediate goal of an
evacuation will be to get every
one out of the District in pri-
vate autos. Every street will
be one-way; there will be no
cross-trafflc, no stop lights.
The city could be emptied,
speaking conservatively, in
two hours.
Atoms for Peace
Atoms for peace also got
some attention last week. Pres
ident Eisenhower announced a
new idea Of his own for an
atomic merchant ship to cruise
the world and show other peo-
pie what this country Is doing
to use atomic energy con-
structively.
The ship would carry ex-
hibits of atomic power and
medicine and demonstrate
latest industrial uses.

to vote the money. seemed en-
thusiastic about the idea.

RESERVE
House Group OKs
Reserve Plan; UNIT
Program Is Stunned

A new military reserve pro-
gram was voted by the House
Armed Services Committee
last week. If it works. it will
provide the first effective
reserve force the country has
ever had.
There was some doubt. now
ever, that it would work. Sec
retary of Defense Charles E.
Wilson told the committee that
young men would have to be
drafted into reserve training,
or they wouldn't volunteer in
sufficient numbers. The COM
mittee was leery of voting any
thing that smacked of univer-
sal military training, however,
so the reserve draft was
dropped from the bill.
AS approved by the commit
tee on a 31-to-5 vote, the bill
would provide a voluntary six
month training program for
100000 to $50, 900 19-year-olds
each year. They would serve
7l2 years in the reserves after
completion of training. II
they lodged their reserve obli-
CATION, they could be drafted
for two years service.
Service veterans also would
go into the reserve, as would
older volunteers. These men
would have to attend drill and
summer camp or be called to
active duty for As days.
Young men who do not vol
unteer and who are passed
over by the regular draft will
have no military obligation.
Mr.. Wilson said he hoped
the reserve program would at
tract enough volunteers to
swell the organized reserve to
80 million men by 1860.

TARIFFS

The administrations foreign
trade bill. caught in q tug
of-war between congressional
"protectionists" and "free

IN the direction of free trade

It was touch-and-go as the
Senate Finance Committee
voted on amendments to the

original bill, which would re-
duce tariffs by S per cent q
year for three years. But most
Republicans wanted to add
special tariff protection for q

Democrats accused the
President Of failing to fight
for his bill. But last week he
spoke out in New York, say

and official scandals in his sec
ond term.
Powerful Opposition
Opposing the D'Alesandro-
Pollack team is an impressive
triurnvirate consisting Of Re-
publican Candidate Samuel
Hopkins. G. o. p. Gov. Theo-
dore r. McKeldin and the
Baltimore Sunpapers.
Mr.. Hopkins has been fight
ing an Uphill battle against the
peppery little Mayor. who has
in his favor almost unanimous
support from city Democratic
leaders and a 3-to-1 Demo-
cratic registration majority.
Another D'Alesandro asset is
the major role he played in
bringing big league baseball to
Baltimore. Significantly, he
was wildly cheered at the
Orioles home opener this sea-
son by fans who gave applause
and boos about equally when
Gov. McKeldin was introduced.
The Orioles, who are having
campaign troubles of their
own, probably could help their
patron saints cause by win
ming today's scheduled ball
game with the White Sox of
Chicago.
Given a few well-timed
home runs, maybe the voters
will forget all about the off,
street parking scandal. in
which some of the mayors
aides and associates were in
dicted for alleged misuse of
city funds. the sensational
1858 trial in which one of the
mayors six sons was acquitted
OF. rape and morals charges,
and the subsequent trial and
exoneration of Mr.. Pollack on
a charge that he attempted to
influence testimony in the
morals case.
The strain of these incidents
put Mayor D'Alesandro in the
hospital for several weeks. He
recovered in time to lend a
hand in last November's State
campaign. after he had with
drawn his own candidacy for
Governor, and went on han
Oily to defeat six opponents in
the city's Democratic primary
March /.
Puppet or Stotesmon?
Mr.. Hopkins has been at
tacking the mayor as Pol
lack puppet, while his sup
porters try to sell him as a
sort of urban Abe Lincoln.
The support of the Sunpa-
pers, which announced for Mr..
Hopkins in a lengthy, front
page editorial last Sunday,
boosted the Republica a n S
chances. The newspapers had
supported Mr.. D'Alesandro in
his l947 and 1851 campaigns
for Mayor, but complained this
time that long continuance in
office has brought "compla-
cency, bossism and corrup-
ton"
The Sunpapers' position in
furiated the Mayor, who la
beled the Endorsement "nepot-
ism of the most obvious sort" "
He claimed that Mr.. Hopkins
is nothing but a Sunpapers
employe. since he is secretary
of the Fidelity & Deposit Co.,
which he said is controlled, by
the same family that controls
the newspaper.
: Aside from tearing into the
Sunpapers. Mr.. D'Alesandro's
campaign has consisted mostly
Of a monotonous reiteration of
the question: "Have I or have
I not been a good mayor to
you?"
The answer comes Tuesday.

Mr.. Pollack can't afford an
other setback such as the one
he suffered last November
when his support Of Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate
H. c. Byrd cost him a State
Senator and two Of the six
State delegates from the city's
4th district, where he holds
sway.

Falls Church and Alexandria
