President in 1852 and is a key
State in this years election
calculations.
Gov. Goodwin j. Knight Of
California put it simply;
Il never had any other can
didate. We're helpless in Cali
fornia without him."
California, so far as Presi-
dent Eisenhower is con-
cerned, is typical of many
other States. What Gov.
Knight says would happen
there without the President
at the head Of the ticket might
well happen elsewhere.
Nobody high in the Repub-
lican Party likes to suggest a
line of succession away from
the President, perhaps for the
reason that the very idea Of
a substitute is depressing.
However, the natural alter
native among practical poll
ticians is probably that sug-
gested by Gov. Arthur B.
Langlie Of Washington, who is
to be keynote speaker at the
San Francisco convention.
When pressed for an alter
native on a television news
program, Langlie named Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
first among a list that in
cluded several others usually
mentioned.
There is, however, a dubi-
BUSINESS about the appropriate
ness Of the Vice President

pro-Soviet magis may result in
the birth of a new alliance
grouping the bulk of the.
Middle East around the USSR
and Communist China.
Thus, while the Red bloc
has assumed. particularly in
the last few months. an un-
precedented aggressive diplo-
macy. the Western nations re-
main negative, twirling their
thumbs and wondering what
to do next.
The French have their hands
full in Algeria which they must
attempt to hold lest they have
a revolution on their hands in
France. The British seem I'M
able. despite a large concen-
tration of forces, to put down
the Cyprus civil war.
They all look to the United
States for guidance which I'M
fortunately is not yet forth
coming. President Eisenhower
is definitely out of the woods
insofar as his health is con-
cerned. But it will be a few
weeks before he can tackle eff
fectively the increasingly diff
cult world problems. And until
he does so, the American ship
Of state will have to follow an
undecided course.
While the Presidents per-
sonal prestige abroad has not
suffered in the slightest in re-
cent months. the same cannot
be said of the prestige of the
United States. We are accused
by friends and neutrals of
laundering in the dark. The
roll back" policy toward the
USSR, contained in the Re-
publican platform of four years
ago, never materialized. Quite
the opposite-we are now being
rolled back in the Middle East.
Because of the Red and neu-
tralist gains. we cannot re-
turn to the old "containment"
policy.

icy is the continuation Of eco
nomic and financial aid which
is described to the American
people as a part of our national
defense and the country's Sc
curity. Hard facts, however,
belle this thesis.
We have been engaged in
various forms of assistance
programs for more than 10
years. These began with the
belief, which was justified by
subsequent events, that Amer
lean dollars and substance
were essential to rebuild the
countries of our friends and
former enemies who had suf-
fered from war devaStations.
After this was accomplished
with spectacular success, the
economic restoration policy
made way for military and
economic aid. It was explained
to the American people that
the newly created coalition Of
NATO was essential to our
survival.
Despite the many neutralist
trends which developed in
Europe and Asia after 1858.
when we decided to permit the
Korean war to become a draw.
we did build up some of our
allies militarily. In the last
Is months there has been a
letdown in Western Europe.
This was prompted particu-
larly by the Soviet policy Of
coexistence and phony smiles.
Thus, despite the fact that q
number of our smaller allies,
such as Iceland, Denmark and
Norway, are now leaning to-
ward a neutralist policy, we
continue to help them.
Similarly the administration
is using all available means to
convince Congress to continue
at least token help to Tito who
is now the pacemaker Of
Khruschev's diplomacy. SINH
larly the administration is
pressuring Congress to give
assistance to Nehru's India.
Unfortunately, not even our
allies believe that this indis-
criminate foreign aid program
will be able to counter the
present moves of the Kremlin.

Aide Bill Blair Reports by Telephone
On Political Winds Amonq Governors

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j..
June 26.-Blair crossroads,
that strategic couch in the
Shelburne lobby where the
Governors are handing out
political gems to reporters,
has had another crowded day.
Adlai Stevenson's man Fri
day, Bill Blair, who staked out
the spot for its ear-bending
advantages. had a mixed bag
to offer Stevenson in the small
hours over long distance.
1t ranged from rhinestones
(Happy Chandler Of Ken
tucky) to real pearls (Abe
Ribicoff of Connecticut).
Frank Lausche of Ohio tossed
in a color-changing Alexan-
drite and Frank Clement de-
fed reporters to guess which
hand holds the Tennessee
prize.
Spies from the Hartman
camp report Blair telling
Stevenson something like this:
Let's start with Lausche.
He may not be a good Demo-
crat, but nobody ever said his
mother raised foolish children.
Also, he never does anything
on the spur of the moment;
reporters get from him only
what he thinks is good for
Lausche.
Well, he's announced that
could be he'll vote with Re-
publicans to organize the Sem
ate if Ike is elected and needs
his vote to do it. Or he'll
vote with the Democrats If
he likes a Democratic Presi-

If Lausche would help to or

George Humphrey (Secre-
rotary Of the Treasury has put
the bee on Republican indus
trialists in Ohio, who have al
ways backed Lausche, to go for
George Bender, the singing
Senator, on the ground Ike
needs Bender's vote. They tell
me half of Bender's fund-rais-
ing committee had. always
given Lausche dough.
It's obvious Lausche's wor-
ried. Let's face it, too, he
must think Ike will win, and
that's bad-all those pretty
Ohio votes next November.
Luckily for us. Abe Ribicoff
came along to pick up the
pieces and give the boys a
new lead.
Abe told them that he told
you you ought to take Jack
Kennedy of Massachusetts, for

you both a great big hand,

Why were the records Of the
1852 campaign contributions OF
both parties destroyed by order
of the Speaker of the House,
Samuel Rayburn?
The question is being asked
now because the Department
Of Justice has written to the
Speaker of the House and the
Vice President to obtain in
formation concerning the rec
ords and apparently has gotten
no satisfactory answer. 1t
appears that the grand Jury in
st. Louis. Mo-, the FBI and the
Internal Revenue Service are
all interested in the records Of
these campaign contributions
in connection with possible
prosecutions in some undis-
closed cases.
1t now can be revealed that
the destruction Of the records
came about in March, 1855,
when staff of copyists for
U. s. News & World Report
went to the Office of the Clerk
Of the House of Representa-
tives and, in the customary
way. began compiling facts for
a news story on the size of the
contributions and the donors
to both parties. In the midst of
the copying the records were
suddenly removed and, when
an explanation was sought,
Ralph r. Roberts, Clerk Of the
House, said that, according to
the law. they didn't have to be
kept longer than two years
anyhow and that it was past
the two-year mark.
No explanation was offered
as to why the records were
destroyed in the middle Of
the process Of public inspec-
ton" which is provided by law.
Here is the memorandum made
by a staff member of U. S.
News & World Report on
March %, 1855, which was
just a few days after the rec
ords had been removed from
public inspection:
%. Mr.. Roberts, in how
many Congresses have you
been clerk of the House?
"A. Three - the 8lst, the
S2d and this, the 84th.
@. Before this, what has
been your practice about re-
.moval Of the files containing
the list of contributors to the
political campaigns? How long
did you keep them in the
House file room before remov-
ing them?
"A. I'd have to refresh my
memory before I'd answer that.

calling On some OF the leading AL

said.
All of the Alaska newspapers
have agreed to print the list of
Puget Sound supporters of AVA.
This was and is being done with
the Alaska contributors to the AS
ISOLATION.
Ryan and Whaley will not be
able to personally contact all those
interested in the Alaska business
but will continue with a mail pro-
gram. One Seattle hotel already
contributed 500 without being
asked.
In order to carry on the needed
promotion, AVA has a goal of
$4,000. Of that amount nearly
half has ben raised in Alaska
where the fund drive is continuing.
Each dollar raised by popular sub
scription is matched with two from
Territorial appropriation.
