floor would be synchronized

Hell's Canyon is a big Morse
issue against the Mckay
Davis management of Interior.
Democratic policy favors a
Federally built high dam. The
administration has supported
small dams to be built by the
Idaho Power Co.
Morse will cry up the Presi-
dents choice of Seaton as a
confession of guilt, an escape
from the Mckay label. He
has from the start believed
that when the White House
encouraged Mckay to go home
and enter the Senate race, it
was trying to escape the give
away cry.
Senator Magnuson of Wash
ington can be expected to echo
Morse. He is in his hardest
fight since the President
presumed Gov. Langlie to run
against him.
Still, the political risks to
the President were not too
great. Morse will be beaten
if at all as a turncoat by peo-
pie resenting his desertion to
the Democrats after having
been elected as a Republican.
Magnuson is a substantial
favorite still in Washington.
Langlie the long shot.
And the bunting of a major
issue, potentially very trouble
some, is a big advantage to the
administration.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Peaceful Words There Believed Tied in
With Softening-Up Tactics in West

WINGED the Russian leaders that
they can gain as much or more
through applying the soft
pedal in the Middle East than
they stood to gain through en-
couraging open warfare. The
key consideration. of course,
is the fitting-in of Communist
policy in the Middle East with
the present global strategy de-
cided on for the softening up
of the free world.
So the Kremlin bosses have
stated publicly that they would
be glad to do anything they
could to insure the continual
ton of a semipeace in the
Israel-Arab controversy, that
the Soviet Union would lend
its good Offices To the interna-
tional effort to achieve a truce
and perhaps a lasting accord
between the new Jewish state
and her Moslem neighbors.
That the Russian pronounce
ment was Immediately favor
able to peace cannot be denied.
Arab leaders had long been
openly boasting of the aid they
confidently expected to get
from the Soviets when the day
came for their attack on Israel.
And in Israel, influential voices
we're clamoring for a quick
preventive war" on the
ground that once Russian mil
itary aid to the Arabs had been
we'll organized, the speedy sub
jugation of the Israelis would
be only a matter of time.
But it takes only a moment
to penetrate beneath the sur
face "peacefulness" of the
Moscow stand. The open cyni-
cism of the move quickly be-
comes apparent when the Red
position on the Middle East
is placed alongside the mach
nations of the Kremlin on a
worldwide basis. Then we can
see clearly that the decision is
one of eminent practically:
Why not save the war until
later, and meanwhile gain all
we can from this gold mine

What President Eisenhower
has that none of his opponents
has to the same degree is a
representative American per-

Dulles describes the tactics
which the Communists use in
side and outside parliaments
and in election campaigns. He
says:
THE Communists do not re-
strict their activities to manip-
ulating electoral laws in their
favor, or to appealing to
groups of minority interests
who, like the Communists,
would get nowhere without the
proportional system. They al
so do not hesitate to take
strong action to Illustrate the
will of the voter after the bal

The story Allen Dulles tells
might well be told in those
American schools and col
leges where they still think
communism is just an aca-
demic doctrine whose expon-
ents are to be protected under
the free-speech clause of the
Constitution, instead of being
regarded as traitors.

pamphlets trying to convince

Communist Party is "just an
other political party" might
want to spend some of its mil
lions to distribute copies of

Allen Dulles.

he rarely does - and points

what the Communists are try
ing to do, it would seem to be
