Will Solid South Stay Solid?

troll Of the chairmanships of
important committees in both
Houses.
But State parties can be or
ganized to fndorse the regular
nominees of the Democratic
Party and yet build new or
ganizations for presidential
purposes. The emergence Of
the independent movement in
the South in the last campaign
was directly due to desire to
hold a balance of power in the
electoral college in the event
of a close election between the
two major parties. But it
didn't work out that way.
The weakness of the Repub-
hcan Party in the South. Of
course. is due entirely to its
traditional stand on the So
called civil rights issue His
torically, the Republicans have
been on the side Of the
Negroes whereas the Demo-
Gratis in the South have con-
sistently favored segregation.
Yet from 1892 on, the Demo-
cratic Party in the North, for
reasons related to economic
conditions, has won a vast
majority of the Negro districts.
Some shifting in these same
districts occurred in the 1856
election and, if the Republi-
cans continue their gains in
the Negro districts, the DEM
ocratic leaders in the North
will have to figure out whether
the retention of the South
isn't more important to them
after all. and hence steer a
more moderate course on civil
rights than the Republicans
are steering.
If, on the other hand. under
the leadership of Senator
Humphrey, the Democrats are
going to be more vigorous
than even the Republicans on
the civil rights question. the
Southern States will have to
consider seriously measures to
detach themselves more and
more from the Northern wing
of the party.
This could mean the disin-
tegration of the Democratic
Party as a national party.

Stevenson Plans to Bow Out Soon

Democratic liberals are in
an aggressive mood. They feel
that to allow the national
committee to drift along
under Butler, who has no
dynamic backing anywhere in
the party, would be to hand
the Texans who run Congress
every instrument Of party
policy. They view this as lead
ing not from strength but
from weakness.
They see in such a course
only the further alienation OF
the great States where Re-
publicanS under President
Eisenhower have made sig
nif1cant inroads on the city
centers of Democratic power.
They argue it doesn't even
carry the South where the
Negro city vote. now import
ant, is also switching in para
doxical company with the
ultra-conservative whites.
1t. would mean. too. they
insist. that no issues would
ever really get sharpened up
for 1860, that the all-for- the
best mood created by Eisen-
hover would never really be
pierced. They are genuinely
alarmed about foreign policy
and want a hard Democratic
position in that vital area.
This is the fight they will
make in the national commit
tee, if not now, as soon as
possible.

Democratic Leaders Have a Lot
To Worry About. Election Shows

ago, it is evident something
is stirring which may mean
the breakup of the Democratic
Party itself.
Only the segregation issue
has heretofore caused the
South to hold firmly to the
Democratic Party. But when
President Truman broke with
the South in 1948 on civil
rights, start was made to-
ward a new setup not merely
in the States which cast their
electoral votes for Mr.. Eisen-
hover in 1852, but in other
States as well. The upsurge Of
Republican votes in North and
South Carolina. Mississippi,
: Alabama and Georgia both in
1852 and 1856, while not
enough to add to Republican
electoral votes, shows clearly
that the Democratic Party as
a national party is on the
downgrade IN all parts Of the
South.
The vote for Mr.. Eisenhower
in the South has been un-
precedented both in 1852 and
1856. Nothing like it has hap
pened since the days when the
aftermath of the War Between
the States nearly 100 years
ago made the Republican
Party anathema to the South.
In many a State in the
South this year the regular
Democratic organization was

Is the Democratic Party as a
national institution on the way
out in America?
Adlai Stevenson a few days
ago in an outburst of indigna-
ton said to newsmen in South
Carolina that "it's about time
that a lot Of people in the
South decided whether they
are Democrats or Republic
cans" He added:
IF they are Republicans
they should candidly say so
and work for that party. If
they are Democrats, then they
should return to that party
and be part of it."
The 1856 election shows
clearly that there is much to
worry about, not only for Mr..
Stevenson, but for all the
Democratic leaders who are
meeting here this week. For
something is going on in the
South which slowly but surely
can make the party of Jeffer-
son into a new entity or break
1t into splinters.
Without the South the Dem
ocrats could not control the
committees of Congress or
maintain their traditional ad-
vantage in starting every pres
idential campaign with a sub
stantial number of votes in the
electoral college.
But Mr.. Stevenson is not
alone in demanding a show
down in the Democratic Party.
Some of the Northern "Liber-
ais" led by Senator Humph-
rey Of Minnesota. who is
joined by five other Demo-
cratic Senators, now have an
nounced that in January they
will seek to have the Senate
rules changed SO as to pre-
vent f1libustering. This is like

ocratic Party.

Reds Hear Tounts From Quemoy

interesting exchange took
place. The Communist soldiers
screamed that the Nationalist
were tools Of the American
capitalists who were going to
use them as cannon fodder.
The reply came right back:
I'VE like the Americans. To
prove we are not their tools,
if they do anything we don't
like. we are not afraid to tell
them so. Can you say that
about the Russians?"
There was no answer to
this except an outburst of
cursewords which the inter.

late since there were three
ladies present.
The showpiece that day was
a Chineses Communist SOL
dier who had escaped only two
days before. He had put two

Of ammunition in a motor

in deserting to Quemoy.
After getting the usual
going-over by the intelligence
officers, he was considered
sincere and acceptable.
He was given new clothes
and a chance to broadcast on
the Voice of China to the
Reds about what good things
he had found with the free
Chinese.
The officers were particu-
larly pleased with this deser-
ton because it is extremely
difficult for a soldier to escape.
This was only the third escape
in four years.
