The progressive forces" in
the United States headed by
the Communist Party are being
alerted by Moscow to be ready
to play a more important role
in this years electoral cam
paign than at any time since
the end of World War II.
Soviet newspaper and radio
commentators declare that
oppression of the minorities
and disregard for the little
man in favor Of the monopo-
listic interests" have reached
new peaks under the present
administration. While these
voices of the Kremlin are not
critical of President Eisen-
hover, they stress the fact
that because of his two ILL
nesses the vice presidency will
be of the utmost Importance
if the Republican nominee
wins the election
And the Kremlin voices
violently attack Vice President
Nixon. "The present Vice
President" says Comrade
Timoyev, one of the Moscow
foreign affairs radio common
tators, 'is well known for his
very close ties to the large
monopolieS. Carrying out the
will of the influential military
corporations, he spoke, and
speaks as one of the most open
supporters Of the policy of
strength; for increasing the
arms race; as a supporter of
the cold war and for knocking
together all kinds of military
pactS. He also made himself
known as one of the inspirers
of the ant-democratic repres-
sion aimed against the pro-
greSsive forces Of the United
States. Moreover, Nixon was
mixed up in certain scandal
lous matters involving bribery
in Washington"
Ever since Nixon was a men,
Der of the House and played
a main role in uncovering
Alger Hiss and the Soviet con-
spiracy and intlltration in our
Government he has been one of
the main targets of the Com
munists at home and abroad.
Hence the attacks against him
at this time when some people
in this country want to look
upon him as a reactionary,
particularly in foreign affairs,
are not surprising. The stand
taken by the Russian COM
mentators would be of little
Importance if so many of our
progressiveS did not share
their beliefs.
The voting power of the
Communist Party with an open
membership not exceeding
$4,000 is insignificant. But
there are the fellow travellers,
the misguided liberals and,
what is more important, the

the forthcoming elections if
they happen to be close. And
from this point of view former
Gov. Harold StasSen. who is a
bitter anti Communist himself,
has rendered his country a poor
service by concentrating his re-
cent attacks on the man who
has become the prime target
of the Communists and their
dupeS.
Despite the new look"
ordered by the Blk team
providing that the Commu-
nists outside the USSR have
now become independent of
the Kremlin, opinions" ex-
pressed in the Soviet press or
on the radio are still orders"
to our Communists. The alleged
freedom they now enjoy is not
less phony than the substitu-
ton Of the Comintern during
the last war by the Cominform.
It was . sop to Russia's West
ern allies and also as meaning
less as the promises of Josef
Stain. The Cominform not
only assumed all the functions
of its predecessor. but in
creased its espionage and sub

House Approves
White House Bill
BY the Associated Press

The House has passed a
bill TO carry out President Eli

mission to study methods for
enlarging White House Office

The bill already has been
passed by the Senate and was
expected to go to the President
after concurrence on a minor
technical House amendment.
The House Public Works Com
mittee said the proposed COM

recognize "the widespread in

Despite the usual claims
from the professionals in the
Republican and Democratic
parties that they expect to
have the election in the bag,
nobody can foresee what the
situation will be in November.
It is conceivable that there
might be a thin vote this fall.
Up to the present, neither
party has found any dramatic

The hot haste with which
Republicans are trying to Stif1e
Harold StaSsen's attempt to
re-examine the vice presidency
reflects an outstanding charac-
teristic of the party in power.
This is it's extraordinary
rigidity.
Rarely in the intensely hui
man trade of politics has a
party and an administration
proved so unresponsive to the
scorching breath of contro-
versy or the fact of change.
For what Stassen is really
inviting them to consider is
that 1852 is different from
1856. The alterations are not
merely in the general Situa-
ton; they are in the President
and Vice President as political
figures and in the present
Importance of the Vice Presi-
dent to the presidency.
Yet apparently it has not
occurred to anyone but Stas-
sen and his still unnamed
angels" to compare the
premises on which the Eisen-
Nixon ticket was NOM
mated in 1852 with today's
perspective.
In 1852 any Republican was
the odds-on favorite to beat
any Democrat. The voters
were obviously in a new broom
mood; the bad actors of the
Truman administration over

This was not a do nothing"
Congress. Nor was it a Con-
gress that did a little about
everything. 1t was a Congress
in which what failed to be
passed was as important an in
dicator of the real battle going
on in America as the measures
that did become law.
The real story centers on
the four-way split in the
political parties Of today. 1t
reflects a big tug of war be-
tween state socialism and the
private-enterprise system.
The pressure in the present
Congress toward government
ownership, government con-
troll, government subsidy and
big-government domination of
everything has been revealed
as unremitting. Congress will
be in adjournment only, about
five months, and the warfare
will then be resumed.
Meanwhile, all the defeats
and all the victories are tenn
porary. The advocates of
public power who really want
to wipe out private utilities
in America by extending the
IVA scheme to other regions
of the country were halted
but not beaten. They were
baked in their effort to see
atomic power for plant use
put completely into govern
ment hands. They lost out on
a public-power project known
as Hell's Canyon on the Snake
River in Idaho, but they found
administration support for
construction Of public dams on
the upper Colorado River.
The administrations posi-
ton is that government should
do what private capital can
not and will not undertake.
A Republican bloc considers
this an opening wedge for
socialism. Another bloc-most-
ly Democrats - is anxious to
push government ownership on
every side. They will not be
happy until all food stores, all
department stores, all retail
stores. all steel plants, all fac
tories are owned by the gov
eminent. A minority bloc of
Democrats is opposed. Most
of the Democrats, however,
are making the same steady
drive toward naturalization
of industries as the Socialist
Party has espouSed in Britain,
and which now is being re-
PEELED by the Conservatives in
Parliament.
There are other major issues,
Of course, on which the divi-
sion in the parties in Congress

are shared by a distinguished
wife.
He is, like the President, a
liberal-conservative, able to
see what the times demand
and often in advance.
Against him is that he was
born in Paris, Of native born
American parents, there to
study art. But the question
Of whether this prevents him
from being a natural born"
citizen already has been mega
lively answered by competent
legal minds. Actually his birth
and childhood in France are
an asset, for as a result he
speaks fluent French, useful
to a Vice President whose Of
flee makes him, among other
things, an ambassador at
large.
He suffers with arthitis,
but men with his arthritic con-
dition are not bad actuarial
risks. The painter Duffy, like
Renoir. was so crippled by it
that he performed his later
works with great pain and
difficulty. But both artists
lived land painted until they
were nearly 80.
The die-hard Republicans
are against his nomination
for reasons that will endear
him TO the uncommitted inde-
pendents.
The Democrats will be
against 1t. too. They have
been counting Nixon as their
asset.
And the Republican con-
vention promises, at last, to
be interesting.

is not just between nonradical
and radical but, for example,
between those who differed
on foreign aid. In the vote on
the SAL billion appropriation
bill in the Senate this week,
80 Democrats voted for it and
is against it. while 80 Repub-
cans toted for it and IS against

dent Eisenhower's pressure on
the Republicans who held the
line for him, the measure sure
ly would have been cut fur
ther. This was an acid test.
So it isn't accurate to blame
those divisions on an alleged
lack of Leadership" by the
President. These are the
familiar criticisms leveled at
him in the propaganda of the
Democratic National Com
mittee and its allies. The truth
is, a bloc in the Democratic
Party has held the balance Of
power on many m easures.
Likewise, a bloc in the Demo-
cratic Party has kept up a
drumfire of criticism at Secre-
tary Dulles as well as at the
President. This partisan
sabotage has been unduly
publicized abroad and has en-
couraged there a defiance of
some of the American Govern
ment's policies.
A careful examination of
the steady stream Of speeches
some of them prepared at
Democratic campaign head
quarters-Shows the Demo-
Gratis as a party have not
made good on their pledge to
the people to cooperate with
the President on foreign policy.
though a few like Senator
George, chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee, did
go along with the Executive.
In the House Appropriations
Committee, the Democrats re-
Gently lined up Solidly against
acceptance Of the Eisenhower
administrations foreign aid
proposals. The Republicans in
the committee stood solidly
by the President. Yet, in the
months to come, much will be
heard on the stump to the eff
feet that a Democratic Con-
gresS has co-operated with the
Executive on foreign policy
and that the Republicans have
not.
So, looking back on the rec
ord of the Congress, the only
satisfaction that can be
derived is that it wasn't worse
and that the nonradical forces
did hold the radicals at bay
on some important measures.

Many Negro farmers throughout
the South are making giant strides
in adopting improved agricultural
practices which are resulting IN
higher incomes and better living.
Some with small units either have
established off-farm enterprises. or
have found sideline jobs, in town.
However, numbers of small own
ers, tenant and sharecroppers are
quitting the farm and moving to
town; others are holding on for the
present with the hope that they
may be able to buy enough land for
a family-sized unit.
This is how things looked to me
during a recent tour Of rural COM
'munities in Virginia, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Lou
Isiana; Alabama, Georgia, South
Carolina, and North Carolina where

and farm and home demonstration

South are progressing. About 80
