Gov. Hartman and Senator
Kefauver were In the right
church but in the wrong pew
and at the wrong time when
they complained at Chicago
that the Democratic National
Committee was favoring Adlai
Stevenson at the expense Of
other presidential candidates
In the party.
The distinguishing charac-
teristic Of Paul Buffers regime
at national headquarters has
been his emphasis on organ
ization and his inSistence that
the committee must be above
the battle for the nomination.
Some workers OF long expert
ence promptly championed
him as the most successful
chairman they had had since
James A. Farley brilliantly ran
the show for Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Before Butler took over from
Stephen Mitchell q year ago,
there would have been point to
the charges. Mitchell unques-
tionahly oriented the commit
tee in the direction of Steven
son and the Stevenson policies.
For example. Mitchell devoted
q great deal of time to the con-
Citation Of the South, which
was q vital element in the de-
sign to recapture the nomina-
ton for Stevenson.
Mitchell was, of course,
Stevenson's personal choice for
the Craftsmanship and was
then unknown to the party at
large. It should be said for

him that he took hold Of q
party, broke and defeated. and
unhesitatingly spent his own
and Stevenson's energy on re-
building mainly through fund
raising dinners.
Stevenson was then and
still is in great demand as a
speaker by Democratic groups.
Mitchell treated this demand
as a negotiable asset and ruth
lessly demanded a high re-
turn to the national commit
tee for StevenSon's services.
Stevenson readily conceded he
had 4 moral obligation TO pay
of the 1852 campaign debts
and co-operated fully, but he
was heard to murmur at one
point that he was beginning
to feel like the bartered bride.
Mitchell tacitfy admitted his
position was becoming unten-
able when he said he was re-
signing so he could work for
the denomination Of Steven
son.
Not all the Stevenson ad-
herents have left the commit
tee, nor have they all been
as scrupulous in their observ-
ance Of the Butler orders as
Butler himself has been. But
he has been bearing down on
them.
Recently some members of
the staff Of the Democratic
Digest notified the chairman
they would like to join the
presidential candidate club of
their choice. Butler ruled
that no ernploye Of the COM

turned out to be. in real fact,
the front runner.
This was indicated in an
interesting way in a situation
affecting one Of his rivals,
Senator Estes Kefauver Of
Tennessee.
The Senator recently Of
fered the post Of preconven-
ton manager Of his campaign
to Michael Di Sale, Ohio po-
litical leader who served here
during the Truman admins
tration as Administrator of the
Ofice Of Price Sterilization.
Mike" De Sale, as he is af-
fectionately known in Wash
ington, asked for time first to
make his own survey of the
outlook for the Senator.
What he found was not too
encouraging and the Kefauver
chances looked still less attrac-
tive after additional research
] by the prospective manager at
Chicago last week when Mr..
Di Sale made soundings
among party leaders there.
What is Of special significance
is that he came to the con-
clusion that 1t might be better

Dental preferential primaries.
where the Senator was dra-
matically successful in 1852 in
piling up q handsome vote.
Instead, the idea would be for
the Senator to advance himself
through his activities In the
Senate where he is already
making issues that win con-
tinue to attract attention his
way.
What this proposed shift Of
strategy indicates is the popu-
liar sentiment for Adlai Steven

Reds to Push Schemes in India and Burma
: As u. S., France Gear Up for Elections

The Kremlin is exploiting
the coming electoral cam
paignS in the United States
and France and also the pros
pect Of unsettled conditions in
West Germany If Chancellor
Adenauer is compelled to re-
linquish his post.
The political competition in
key Western countries will
bring about a relative paral-
ysis in their foreign policies.
At the least there will be a
more passive attitude toward
the USSR's drive to expand its
influence.
In the new cold war Moscow
has adopted a format of good
will and fatherly interest" in
the so-called underdeveloped
areas of the world. Premier
Bulganin and Red Party Boss
Khrushchev are exuding peace
and friendliness In their visit
to India and are expected to
do the same In Burma and
Afghanistan. Their objective
is not military alliances. These
countries are at present an in
significant military potential.
But the Soviet Union is driving
to become an honorary mem
ber" Of the Bandung club or
ganized last year to further
the interests of the Asian peo-
Piles. With careful handling
this Asian organization could
become an important asset in
the hands Of the Communist
imperialiSts against the West
ern powers and particularly
against the United States
whose security depends more
on developments in Asa than
in Europe.
The actions of the Bulganin-
Khrushchev team are designed
to help further the aims of
Communist China. The State
Department expects greater
pressure from Peiping against
the free governments of Indo-
China and Formosa in the
coming months. The moral
support of the Indian-Bur-
mese-Afghan group would be
helpful.
In North Africa the Soviet
intrigues continue to be
fruitful. The French have
finally put Sultan Ben Youssef
back on the throne and prom
ised Morocco greater degree
Of sovereignty. It was hoped
that with Ben Youssef's return
law and order would once
more prevail in Morocco. But
Evening star., 1955-11-22

it does not look that way now.
Last week crowds Of faithful
subjects" forced the Sultan S,
bodyguards to open the palace
gates. They greeted their
sovereign with cheers and
clenched fists (the Communist
salute).
Over in Egypt and the
Middle Eastern countries the
USSR continues its disrupting
work by selling arms to all
who want them. The Russians
are taking advantage of the
predicament Of the United
States. The question Of this
country helping Israel is an
important domestic political
matter on the eve Of the presi-
Dental elections. Even If open
hostilities between Israel and
its neighbors can be avoided
there are serious fears that
the Soviets win be able to
ALLEVIATE most of our former
Arab friends from us. But one
OF the most interesting devel-
opments is the reported efforts
of the Soviet government to
renew normal relations" with
Spain, the most bitter anti
Communist country in Europe.
There are indications that the
Madrid government is in a
mood to reciprocate- at least
halfway.
The whole thing started at
Geneva. before the collapse
Of the foreign ministers con-
ference, when a spokesman for
the Russian delegation stated
that sit has always been the
policy of the Soviet Union to
maintain good relations with
all countries with due consid-
Grafton for their own regimes.
This policy, is being carried cut
not only in regard to Spain
but also to other countries
with which. the USSR has not
yet established relations" 1t

Stevenson cIuims Democrats Won
Senate in s54 Despite the Vote Split

in the next presidential elec-
ton.
Yet it is repeatedly said
that, when the House changes
over during the middle Of a
presidential term, the party
that won Congress usually"
wins the next presidential
campaign. Not only was this
proved wrong in 1948 but even
the 1910 precedent is ambigu-
ous., For, while in 1910 the
Democrats won the House,
they failed in 1912 to poll the
majority vote in the Nation.
Only the fact that there were
two Republican nominees in
the field to split the ticket gave
the Democrats their control of
Congress. On a straight-party
vote, the Republicans polled
more than the Democrats.
Disaffection here and there
among congressional districts
has often led to an overthrow
in seats in local contests. Thus
in 1858. due to the farm recess
sion, the Republicans lost a
special election in WISCONSIN,
and in 1854. when economic
conditions turned sour. the
Republicans lost a few more
seats here and there,
But just as the l946 victory
of the Republicans was erased
In l948 by the improvement in
economic conditions. so may
the 1856 elections overcome
for the Republicans the losses
they sustained in 1854. There
is no rule of thumb about it.
Each election stands on its
own feet and is based on the
then existing conditions.
There were, OF course, IN
1855 some serious evidences Of
disaffection inside the Repub-
lican organiZations-as, for
instance, in Indiana--but in
New Jersey, where the 1854
factional bitterness has pre-
vailed inside the party, the
Republicans in 1855 retained
control Of both houses Of the
State Legislature despite the
election Of a Democrat as Gov
ernor the year before.
There is not the slightest
evidence from recent elections

DAVID LAWRENCE

It's a tribute to the power
Of reiteration that, If an in
accuracy is repeated often
enough, it begins to be ac-
cepted as truth.
Thus, Adlai Stevenson told
q Nationwide audience last
Saturday night that the DEM
ocrats won both houses Of
Congress In 1854" Many other
speakers have been saying the
same thing in recent months.
The fact Is that the Demo-
Gratis didn't win" the Senate.
They tied 1t. And II Mr..
Stevenson thinks a tie score is
the same as . victory. he Is
likely to lose the football vote
next year.
After the 1854 election the
Republicans had enrolled 48
Senators and the Democrats
48. But the Republicans also
had the Vice Presidents vote.
so the vote, stood 20 Repub-
licans to 48 Democrats. When.
after the election, one Sena-
tor, who had been nominated
In . Republican primary In
1850 and elected that year as
q Republican, switched his
allegiance, this gave control to
the Democrats last January by
one vote. That's q far differ
ent thing, however, from
achieving q victory at the polls
In November, 1854.
Somewhat the same thing
happened In the House in 1880,
midway in the term Of Presi-
dent Hoover. The Republicans
won 220 seats and the Demo-
Gratis 214 but, due to deaths on
the Republican side, control
shifted from the Republicans
to the Democrats. It wasn't
O. victory for the Democrats in
November, 1880, but it is often
enormously referred to as such.
In the middle Of President
Truman's first term, the Re-
publicans won both houses Of
Congress, but in 1948 Mr.. Tru-
man won and the Democrats
recovered control Of both
houses Of Congress. So a VIC
tory for one party in midterm
doesn't necessarily foreshadow
q triumph by the same party

Adlai Stevenson has q prob
lem henceforth that may not
] occur TO anyone not actually
In the high-leyel and exact
ing profession Of presidential
politics. To that he and his
advisers now are giving much
thought.
It arises from the twin facts
that he Is the only announced
candidate for a nomination for
President In either major
party, and that there are nine
months before the nominating
convention In Chicago. 1t Is
rare that o candidate an
liounces 20 far In advance.
In politics there is an old
rule that q candidate for
President should not get out In
the open too early, as that
invites q ganging -up process
against him, both from other
rivals within his own party
and from the opposition party.
He becomes In short q target
for all corners.
That Is Adlai Stevenson's
position. fzis problem Is to
conduct himself and his cam
paign for the nomination In
the long intervening period In
q way to suffer the least dam
age from the snipers and to
get the most advantage for
himself.
He was fully aware Of the
target position and its pitfalls
before he announced. But
there were pressures Of all
sorts upon him, especially from
friends who wanted to begin
10 work actively for him to get
q head start. To those he
yielded. Among those urging
him to announce early was
former President Truman.
The timing Of the announce
nhent seems to have been most
