most propitious time in the indi-
vidual States.
Southern Force Organizes
The ball was started rolling
quietly several months ago in the
South. It started with an or
ganization known as the Federation
for Constitutional Government. set
up to coordinate the work of the
mushrooming White Citizens Coun-
ellis and their counterparts. On the
federation's Advisory Committee are
men whose names for years have
been identified with the Dixie
brand Of conservatism. The list of
names includes Governors, former
Governors, Senators and Represent
atives.
The federation. with headquar-
tiers in New Orleans, soon will set
up a Washington Office. It will
have its own lobbyist, who will be
known as q governmental liaison
representative" A legal department
will furnish law talent in cases "in
which the federation has an In
terest." Its speakers division will
furnish orators and material for
speeches, free of charge. Other
departments will include research,
public relations and organization.
The men behind this movement,
and particularly the anonymous Mr..
Kingpin, concede there are many
high hurdles in front of them. They
concede that 1913 taught them
lot. For one thing, they realize
they must take their appeal far
beyond the cotton fields and mag
nolias of the South (they feel
certain that lib electoral votes in
: 10 Southern States already are
theirs. They happily report also
that. in the first mailing Of litera-
ture this year. only per cent of it
was sent outside the South, but Is
per cent Of the expressed response"
came from the North. They add
that recent history gives them hope
they didn't have ir 1948. For in
stance. they claim that in IL States
outside the South in 1852 President
Eisenhower was unable to bring out
the vote that Wendell Willkie did
in 1910. and that in New York
alone in 1852. $1,000 ballots were
cast on which there was no marking
for either of the national tickets
These $1,000, plus over 10000 SINH
larly incomplete ballots in Massa-
chusettS represent, along with the
millions of eligible voters who went
fishing" on election day, "a multi
tude of potential voters to whom
neither party has any attraction"
it is reasoned. The men behind this
new movement maintain that this
dissatisfied" element represents a
new balance of power that could be
decisive in close convention or a
close election.

offer to all of these voters. There

acres he does not plant but places
instead in the soil bank. ....
Since the main purpose Of the
bill is to increase farm income
Immediately, it becomes obvious
that the soil bank, coupled with
flexible price supports, would not
achieve this goal. 1t is obvious
that unless farm prices are raised
substantially a farmer would re-
ceive no more net income from
placing part of his allotted acres
in the soil bank than he would If
he planted the entire acreage al
lotment. 1t is no doubt true that
some incidental relief would flow
rises in some of the feed grains,
prompted by an artificial shortage
of supply, but these market in
creases are highly theoretical; at
best they would not nearly ap-
proximate anything like a real
"shot in the arm" to falling farm
income. Without 80 per cent price,
supports, rises in the market Price
of the basics cannot be expected
for at least two years because Of
the large SURPRISES of these COM
modities that we now have on hand.
l repeat: The sole purpose of re-
Installing 80 per cent of parity price
supports on the basics for two years
is to raise the prices of these staple
farm commodities and thus raise
farm income during the adjustment
period required for the soil bank
to take effect. The American
farmer needs an immediate increase
in income; he has seen his net
return from farming fall from
national total of roughly SLAB bill
hon in 1851 to rate of $40 billion in
the third quarter of 1855. Mean
while corporate and labor income
have reached new highs; while prices
received by farmers have plummet-
ed, the prices paid by farmers for
the things they need have at best
remained steady. In many cases
they have increased Thus the
parity ratio-which measures the
relationship between prices paid and
prices received by farmers-has
fallen from LOT in 1851 to 80 in
December of 1855
1t should be clear that unless
something is done to increase farm
income, and increase it Immediately,
the present price squeeze will force
thousands of farmers out of BUSH
ness. The only way to increase
farm income Immediately, short Of
paying outright farm subsidies. is
to raise the prices Of farm COM
modities. This must be done by
raising support levels, for while the
soil bank-by reducing produce
tion and shortening supply-would
achieve the same goal over the long
pull, our farmers cannot wait.

While Southern legislatures pass
resolutions Of interposition, power
full political figures are working
quietly behind the scenes to recap
ture for the South the power it
knew In the Nations councils be-
fore Fort Sumter.
Their ultimate aim Is . realign-
ment Of political parties that will
give the American voter q clear
choice between what these men
call "a party Of the left" and .
party Of stable, responsible con-
servatiSm." These political king
pins, whose names are never seen
In the headlines but who are well
known to most Southerners who
ever sought elective Office of inn
portance, admittedly are willing
even anxious-to destroy the DEM
ocratic Party nationally in order to
attain this goal.
In an exclusive interview with
The Sunday Star. the blueprint
for this assault was unfolded by
the man who calls many of the
political shots in several States Of
the Deep South. He is the man
who single-handedly delivered one
historically solid Democratic State
to the dissident States Fighters in
1913. And his influence was
strongly felt in three other South
ern States that went over to the
Thurmond-W Wright banner. These
are his bona f1des as a political
power. Beyond that, he cannot be
identified. He insisted on anonym-
ity as condition of granting the
interview.
This year the Democratic split,
unlike that in 1948. when it was
purely local to the South, would be
spread to States far outside the
South If the brains behind this
movement are able to follow their
blueprint with any degree of sue
cess. These men also see as added
sources Of strength several leading
figures Of the Republican right.
Generally, the prescription, as out
lined by Senator James o. Eastland
Of Mississippi. is Organization, ed
ucation. then political action"
Specifically, the course is this:
First, start the movement in the
South in order that it may come
to other States with strength and
organization.
Second, appeal to dissident and
disaffected elements of both parties
everywhere. Notably, these would
include such factions as the re-
naming followers of Senator
Joseph r. Mccarthy in the Repub-
lican Party, the Christian Nation
alistS Of Gerald L. K. Smith and
the names on the mailing lists of
such organizations as Facts Forum
and the Committee for Constitu-
tional Government, plus independ-
ents and many who have failed to
vote in recent elections.
Third, capture party machinery
in the individual States.
The first phase is already under
way and the second is about to be

The Responses?

The answer to these men and
their policy lies, of course, in the
fact that the American way of life
has different and deeper roots than
the Kremlin leaders would have
the world understand. We are
society which, from its founding,
regarded itself and was regarded
by the world as dedicated to pur-
poses which transcend the Nation
and its material wealth. National
independence, human welfare, in
creased dignity for the individual
the great aspirations at work in
the contemporary world-are still
at the basis of our society.
But we shall not defeat the pur-
poses of the Twentieth Party Con-
gress by speeches which assert this
for our own benefit and self
satisfaction. We shall defeat its
purposes if, on the basis of these
values, we evoke from the Nation
the effort, the sacrifices. and above
all, the sense of community of pur-
pose with the peoples of the free
world which the situation requires.
The confidence of the Soviet lead
ers is based on the simple fact that
we have not done this in recent
years.
If we are prepared to continue
to block off, at whatever cost, every
avenue for Communist military adj
venture; if we can demonstrate
over the next decade that the free
societies and their economies can
grow more rapidly than their Com
munist counterparts; If we can
demonstrate that the national as
pirations for dignity and independ-
ence can be progressively satisfied
in free world led by the United
States-then the successors of the
present generation of Soviet leaders
may decide that a true peace
abroad and a true devotion to the
welfare of the Russian peoples at
home is the only rational course
open to them.
Increased economic aid is vital
TOOL IN CnlS struggle; but 1t could
prove sterile unless the Nation and
its representatives transform their
attitude from one of reluctant
grants, made to beat off the danger
Of communism, to one of associa-
ton in great, positive. shared pur-
poses. For the United States, this
is spiritual crisis, as well as a
crisis in military and foreign policy.
AS of this moment, it is still to
be demonstrated to the Soviet
leaders that the American way of
life is capable of sustaining the
necessary effort. 1t is still to be
demonstrated that the United
States can lead the free world
successfully through the coming
decade of crisis and deny them
their great hopes at the Twentieth
Party Congress.

Tengku Abdul Rahman, in a recent
radio message to the terrorist
leader, Chin Peng, called on him to
honor his pledge and surrender
with all weapons. He referred to
China's earlier promise that he
would stop fighting If the Malayans
gained control of their internal de-
tense and security from the Brit
ish. Now the Malayans have that
control as the first step toward full
independence.
1t remains to be seen whether
Chin Peng will ignore the Tengku's
message. The Tengku gives all the
appearance of optimism. But until
he has something to be optimistic
about the Fiji crackers will con-
tinue to follow jungle trails in
search of bandits, the police check
posts will continue on the alert, the
police launches will go on patrolling
the rivers through the jungles and

issues In which neither party
has anything to offer many.
The new movement will have some
thing for these people. And In the
Midwest leaders will be sought who
are more deeply confirmed isola-
tionists than any Midwest Repub-
lican. 1t is not expected that it
will be difficult to enlist well-known
names in parts Of the country OUT
side the South. Already, for in
stance. the name of Gov. Bracken
Lee of Utah has been mentioned.
Gov. Lee is the man who announced
he wouldn't pay his income tax
because United States funds were
being misspent abroad.
The men who have drawn this
blueprint say history is on their
side. They argue that both major
parties are now almost identical,
that there is no longer any right
wing party. They plan to build
one, just as new party, the Re-
publican, emerged a little over a
century ago. when, they claim, the
situation was much as it is today.
They see a better than even
chance of running the Democratic
convention this year down a road
Of their own choosing, and finally
naming a man acceptable to them
to head the ticket. This maneuver
will start, of course, in the indi-
vidual States. The party setup in
each State has been studied at
length, and in each State, as the
situation warrants, the strategy for
capturing convention delegates has
been drawn. Once in the conven-
ton, the first aim would be to re-
enact the old two-thirds rule which
gave the South a virtual veto over
the choice of ticket. Such strength
would then give the nomination to
a candidate who could also cut
deeply into the ranks of normally
Republican voters on election day.
When the failure of the States
Fighters in 1913 is mentioned, it is
quickly pointed out that this was
purely and simply an effort to rally
strength to third party, an accom-
pliShment that, so far, has proved
historically impossible. The new
tack, 1t is explained, is realign-
ment Of existing major parties,
which has a successful precedent in
history. Also in 1913, the defec-
tionists from the national Demo-
cratic platform and ticket had is
sues that were attractive primarily
only to Southerners, though the
States Rights candidates appeared
on ballots in such faraway places as
North Dakota. In 1856, the Dixie
initiated movement plans a greatly
expanded catalog of issues, with
items appealing to some voters
everywhere. Additionally, they say,
the entire South not just four
States-now stands united behind
their idea. Thus, the important
initial strength for the movement.
say the men behind it, is already q
reality.
Granting the extremely unlikely
chance that they will succeed in
naming candidates of their choos-
ing, who would lead their ticket?
That's something to think about
later" Mr.. Kingpin said. First.
we've got to get job done; then
We'll get the man."
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-04
The Challenge

For the United States the chal-
lenge was laid down by Mikoyan
with great clarity: Let the boastful
Americans who swagger about their
riches of today, about their Ameri-
can way of life. enter into compe-
tition with us on these lines and
they will see where more is done
for the benefit of the people. whose
way of life will turn out the better"
The challenge, in terms of Ameri-
can policy, has, of course, two di-
mansions: First, the military prob
lens Of maintaining position Of
leadership in the arms race and of
avoiding any exploitable chink in
the free worlds armor, from hydro
gen bombs to guerrilla warfare; Sec
ond, the psychological, political and
economic problem of making the
free world so vital and effective in
satisfying the positive aspirations
of the men and women who live
in it that the Establishments of the
Twentieth Party Congress fail of
t1leu pull
The nation was beginning to turn
to this second problem early in
1850, when the Gordon Gray Re-
port was developed and Point Four
was getting under way. But since
the Korean War the United States
has not met its responsibilities of
leadership in this second decisive
sphere. That war itself, and the
controversies which accompanied
and followed it, seized our atten-
ton. Our policy since 1858, with
a few minor exceptions, has been
devoted to preventing a second Ko-
rean War. We have devoted our
major diplomatic and economic
energies to building a system of
military alliances, from Iran to
Japan, designed to prevent a recur-
renee of overt Communist military
aggression.
This is. indeed, legitimate ma
tional objective. But it is quite
evidently an insufficient policy in
a world where the minds Of men
and women are filled with many
powerful hopes and fears apart
from the threat that Communist
armies may march across their
frontiers.
Mikoyan was quite right in ad-
dressing his challenge to the Amer
lean way of life. To many men and
women around the world the United
States has appeared in recent years
a nation almost exclusively con-
cerned to protect with military
force its own rich and comfortable
society. If this image continues to
be confirmed by the day-to-day
course of American policy, then in
deed the steady erosion of our world
position and our ultimate isolation
from Eurasia, which Mikoyan and
his friends now plan, may well
come to pass.
