The Senate Finance Committee

Earlier under the johnson
leadership, Senator Long of
Louisiana had inherited the
spot left by the retirement of
Senator Connally OF Texas.
Senator Kerr of Oklahoma, oil
millionaire and author of the
natural gas bill vetoed by
Harry Truman. was already
there.
Only California of the tide
lands oil States remained I'M
represented. But on the Re-
publican side virtually all
Finance members are from
States producing oil or other
minerals. They include Mil
likin of Colorado, Martin of
Pennsylvania, Flanders of
Vermont, Malone of Nevada,
Carlson of Kansas and Ben
nett of Utah.
1t is an almost unbeatable
set-up for the controversial
mineral depletion tax allow
ance of 271a per cent. an ar
rangement which makes min
eral producers, notably oil
men, the most-favored class
of taxpayers in the Nation.
Viewing it and aware that
he would be welcomed tepidly
at best by the committee
chairman, Senator Byrd of
Virginia. the most intransi-
gent conservative of all, Sena-
tor Douglas, wonders if he
ought to make the effort. But
he probably will.

effective and that the time
has come to devise a new
strategy. It is then pointedly
asked If 1t Is really necessary
for the British and Ameri-
cans to continue to spend o
large amount of money on
their forces in Germany?"
Perhaps not" answers the
Guardian. "For defense Of
the central front in Europe,
we might rely chiefly on the
threat of massive retaliation
which. in fact. is what we
are now doing anyway. The
threat might be more effec-
tive. as a defense, If it were
explicitly acknowledged.
IF it is correct that the
Russians have abandoned
thought Of direct military adj
vance in Europe, as many
people seem to think, the
threat of massive retaliation
is an adequate protection, and
we do not need the Rhine
armies. If that is not correct,
and it might not be. we had
better not try to bluff with
General Grllenther'S ske1eton
forces"
The editorial comedies that
If the Soviet began "nibbling
at points on the periphery"
this could not be met by
massive retaliation" because
it might mean about war.
but that the remedy lies "in
a small number of highly
mobile units. available to 20
at once to any threatened part
of the NATO area"
This could be construed as
support for the idea of more
mobile bases such as the
modern aircraft carriers of
the British and American
navies provide. But, broadly
speaking, the Guardian edi-
torial ties in also with the
increasing demand here in
Congress for an intercon-
tlnental air force of long
range bombers which by the
threat of massive retalia-
ton" can serve as a deterrent
to full-scale aggression.
What it all adds up to is a
realization that the millennium
is still far away. For Sir
Winston's vision of a New
Russia is in itself a paradox
in these days Of distrust and
misgiving about the real in
tent of the unregenerated
rulers In the Kremlin.

The Importance of Dag
Hammarskjold's report to the
United Nations Security Coun-
Gil on his peace mission to
Israel and the Arab States is
indicated by the fact that the
New York Times Con Friday
published the full text in over
two pages.
Although some progress was
certainly made. his mission on
the whole was inconclusive
even within the limited scope
of his mandate. which. as he
reports. required him to lay
aside those fundamental is
sues which so deeply influence
the present situation.
He interpreted his mandate
to exclude certain issues on
which the Security Council
has previously passed resolu-
tons. notably the one of Sep

Egyptian interference with
Israel shipping in the Suez
Canal. and it's resolution
against Israel's Jordan River
diversion schemes, which. as
he emphasizes, all Arab states
regard as endangering a cease
fire. These issues he refers
back to the Security Council.
He concludes his report with
expressing his feeling that
there is a general will to

Churchill Fovors Russians in Group;
English Paper Sees 1t Falling Apart
DAVID LAWRENCE

Two views on world peace
that might seem at first glance
to be Numerically opposite
came out of Britain a few
days ago.
One was the suggestion
from Sir Winston Churchill
that maybe in time, if the Rus
slams behave, the Soviet gov
eminent should be admitted
to the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization.
The other-expressed by
the Manchester Guardian. a
Liberal newspaper in Eng
land-was that this same or
ganization is falling apart
militarily" and that it is i'm
portant now for the Western
powers to reaffirm the policy
of massive retaliation"
What Sir Winston said was
couched in the vagueSt OF
phrases, but it may well be
that he had his tongue in his
cheek when he declared that
I'VE have a new Russia to deal
with, and / do not myself see
why, if this is so, the new
Russia should not join in the
spirit of this solemn agree
ment" the Atlantic Alliance
against aggression.
The former Prime Minister
warns, Of course. that 1T
would be fatal for NATO now
to relax and let apathy over
take what has been achieved"
But, it will be asked, If the
Russians become virtuous and
sanity, then what purpose
does NATO serve? To resist
what potential aggressor would
its military organization be
maintained?
Also, the moment the Soviet
Union abandons its aggressor
policies and stops abusing the
veto power, why isn't the
United Nations available to
keep the peace of the world
and even enforce it, as its
charter provides?
Doesn't NATO become SUI
perfluous in the hour when
Soviet Russia becomes a real
democracy and overthrows its
dictatorship?
Maybe Sir Winston, conSci-
ously or unconsciouSly, was en-
couraging the many elements
inside Soviet Russia and the
satellite states who hope some

Perhaps the most significant
development in the fast-mov-
ing and full-of- surprises New
Look in the Kremlin is the
revival of the pre-World War
II slogan of the United
Front"
Whatever success the COM
rades have with this new ef-
fort to use the Socialist, So
cial Democratic and other left
wing, on-Communist parties
in the parliamentary democra-
cies, whether it be great or
small, will be certain to have a
profound effect on the Free
Worlds efforts to start off the
inroads of MoScow's minions.
Communist Party Secretary
Khrushchev, at the recent
goth Party Congress in Mos
COW, gave open and official APP
proval to the renewed drive
to obtain the cooperation of
workers" parties in the
democratic nations toward
what Comrade Khrushchey
called the effort to preserve
peace. and to transform the
parliamentS of the democra-
cieS into IAN organ of
democracy for the working
people"
With this excellent sample
Of Communist double-talk, the
party was put on notice to re-
sumo the noble efforts of the
30S which ended so shame
fully in the debacle of the pact
with Nazi Germany in 1899.
But hardly had the direc-
tives of the Kremlin been
received by the Party faithful
all over the world, when Com
rade Khrushchev himself, no
less, threw a majo sized ham,
mer-and-Sickle into the ma
chinery of the Popular Front
idea. He allowed himself to be
goaded into a sharp and bitter
outburst Of emotional venom
in London, when the British
Laborites had the temerity to
request that the Russian bosses
look to the well-being of a long
list of imprisoned and probably
executed Socialists from the
satellite nations.
That outburst did nothing to
enhance the possibility of CO.
operation between the Social
Democrats and the Commun-
lists anywhere.
Western diplomats are. how
ever, gravely concerned at the
prospect Of another Popular
Front at this time. In three
Western European nations
France. Italy, and Iceland
the Communist Party is larger
than the Socialist. In all other
European countries, except
Finland, the reverse is true,
and by big majorities.
The Socialists are the largest
single party in Denmark, Nor

day to GUST the present regime
in the Kremlin. If he was look
ing forward to such a day and
not as a maneuver that would
appease an unrepentant re-
gime which still drips with the
blood of $4,000 American boys
killed in Korea, then the plan
for a universal NATO would
seem to make sense.
But in the meantime what?
There is danger that preoccu-
patton with dreams which have
not yet come true can bring
about the very relaxation that
Sir Winston cautions against.
The most realistic appraisal
of this phase Of the interna-
tional situation has come in
the editorial In The Man.
chester Guardian, of May 2,
which says in part:
Much has been said of the
nonmilitary questions which
the North Atlantic Council will
discuss this week, but little
has been said of its military
business. Mr.. Dulles, M. Mollet
and Mr.. Pearson have talked
Of broadening NATO into po-
litical and economic fields. No.
body, however. has said any,
thing in public about the dis
agreeable military facts which
the council ought to face.
when Mr.. Dulles says that
the unanimity Of our think
ing about the great basic is
sues makes it apparent that
the time has come to advance
NATO from it's initial phase
into the totality of its mean
ing he means that, militarily,
NATO is falling apart"
The editorial goes on to say
that the French have stripped
their NATO contingents in
Europe to deal with the re-
bellion in Algiers, that the
West Germans have failed to
pay their share of common
defense costs, that the Bel
gians and the Dutch are deaf
to General Gruenther's re-
newed appeals for a two-year
period of CONSUMPTION and that
General Gruenther's successor
isn't going to get the troops
which were promised for the
common defense.

Today Is Test
For Hatoydnna

TOKYO, Sunday, July 8 (P.-I
Millions of Japanese vote today
in national upper house elections
"a test of strength between
Prime Minister Ichiro Hato-
yama'S Conservatives and the
opposition Socialists.
More than half of 81 ,492 OFT
registered men and women vot-
erS were expected to mark ballots
at 42.540 polling places. They
stretched from southern Amsmi
OShima Island, near United

within sight of Russian-occupied
territory off Hokkaido in the
north.
At stake were l27 of the $50
seats in the House of Councillors,
expected to remain strongly Con-
sentative despite predictions of
some Socialist gains.
Upper house actions can be
overridden by a two-thirds vote
of the more powerful lower
chamber except on constitutional
amendments, where both houses
are equal.
Test on Rearming
The voting was expected to
indicate how fast Mr.. Hatoyama
can push rearmament by re-
writing Japan's occupation born
anti-army constitution, o. Con-
sentative goal observers feel will
take several years to realize.
A comparatively quiet cam
paign ended last night with the
Socialists asking voters to give
them IL additional seats needed
to break the Conservatives two
thirds majority in the upper
house, the margin needed to
approve constitutional amend
mentS.
Mr.. Hatoyama's Liberal-Demo-
cratic Party went into the cleo
ton with only 122 members in
the 250-seat upper house, but
1t had two-thirds control on the
basis of support from so splinter
party members and independents
