NO COMMENT
BY j. w. Douthat

WASHINGTON Politics now
reigns supreme. It is the one
overriding conversation piece.
With the election only a month
off, the campaign is now reach
ing its peak. Testings have been
made. Both parties think they
have gauged public sentiment
discovered their own strong
and weak spots-probed those
Of the opposition. AS of now the
appraisals run about like this:
Republicans are in trouble.
Reports form around the coun-
try confirm that Democratic
optimism is not merely a mo-
rale-building technique to fire
up party workers. The trouble
spots are wide-spread-too much
so to explain as due local situa-
tions. So, Republicans, from the
President down, are revising
stepping up the campaign. Mr..
Eisenhower will make more ap-
pearances, Mr.. Nixon will cover
more territory. Speeches will
attack not just defend.
What has caused the shift?
Basically one fact. 1t is a belat-
ed recognition that COPE-the
CIO-AFL political action sub
sidiary-is ready to do job.
And at the moment, the signs
bear a remarkable similarity to
1948.
Polls then showed Mr.. Dewey
running ahead of Mr.. Truman
in the face of reports that
Republican Congressional can
didates were in difficulty. The
assumption was that Dewey
would carry enough at least to
rull through q slim majority OF
Republican Congressman. The
reverse happened. Democratic
candidates, rolling up heavy
local majorities, carried Mr.. Tru-
man back to the White House.
So. in 1856, Mr. Eisenhower
may be in Mr.. Dewey'S spot. II
Congressional reports are rea-
sonably accurate, Democrats,
running locally, may roll up
sufficient margin to put Mr..
Stevenson over. 1t has the Re
publican high command worried
and not simply to instill a
running scared" atmosphere.
The trouble is not a matter
of issues according to Wash
ington dopesters. And it's not a
perceptible weakening in Mr..

the job done. It is a simple
thing = organization in the
places. And COPE is proving
the point for both parties from
Texas to Michigan-from Maine.
to Oregon.
The strategy is to pick So
called marginal districts - dis
tricts where neither party has
won by more than five per
cent plurality. There are SO OF
these districts. Then you pick
the counties and precincts where
you have the heavist regiStra-
ton. The shoot for 100 per cent

whether or not needed to carry
that precinct or county. The :
surplus in strong Democratic
areas may mean the difference
when the vote is counted for
the entire district.
This happened in Maine.
where the Democrats picked up
one marginal Republican dis
trict, lost another by only 20
votes. Heavy Democratic pre-
cincts in industrial communities.
worked over by the union po-
litical machine, came up with
close to a 100 per cent vote. &
The Maine technique is being
applied in selected districts all
over the country. Get voters:
registered-then, come election
make up the voter lists and
equip each selected precinct
with cars, drivers, baby Sitters,
to produce 100 per cent of the
party vote. From reports reach
ing Washington, this is what is
Worrying so many Republican
candidates for Senate and
HouSe-and their concern is now a
being reflected higher up.
Some reports claim that labor
is recruiting 100000 precinct
workers-paying as much as
$4,000 for each car and driver
and furnishing volunteers to
check voter lists, arrange trans
portation, etc.
The big question in Washing
ton today is whether the Repub-
licans can hope to match this
big union drive-whether local
leaders can be aroused to the
need for a real organized drive

CHAPTER ONE
The Soldiers Call


Listen, now, and I'll tell you
the strangest story ever told
A story of giants and elves and
q pot Of gold; Of a lost princess
and a secret room and Santa
Claus in trouble.
There are folks who'll say none
of this is true. But they're
wrong. It's all true. I know
Because I was there and saw
1T all.
My name is Alexander. ! have
seven brothers and seven sisters
I'm the youngest. have no ma
and no pa but my sisters anc
brothers take care Of me.
We live in a little old house
lat the end Of a crooked road
MY sisters sleep in the house
while we boys bed down in the
barn.
My story begins on a snowy
windy night just before Christ
mas. We were all gathered
around the fire in the kitchen
the way we always do at close
of day.
Amanda, my Oldest sister, was
reading us story about Santa
Claus and how he had saved the
life Of a boy who had never be-
lieved in Santa.
The rest of us were stringing
cranberries and making colored
paper ropes to hang on our
Christmas tree. 1t was nice and
warm in that kitchen by the
fire. I was happy just lying there
on my back listening to the story
and thinking about the marsh
mallows we would be toasting
by and by.
A Knock at the Door
Suddenly there was a bang,
bang, bang at the door and a
voice shouting, open up in the
name Of the King!"
My sister dropped her book
No one else moved because, hon.
est. don't know how long it had
been since anyone had come
knocking at our door!
Amanda said quietly, BEST to
See what it is, Thomas"
So Thomas, my oldest brother,
pulled back the bolt and opened
the door.
They lined us up three deep
by the kitchen wall and asked
us our names and ages and
where we'd spent the day. Then
the biggest soldier took a paper
from his pocket and began to
read:
Princess Anne has been kid
mapped from the royal palace,
The king commands all his peo-
pie to search for the kidnaper
and recover his daughter with
out delay"
After that the soldiers stomped

out Of the house. We all began
to talk at once.
They Talked Late
What a shame! What q
horror!" exclaimed my sisters
1.-THE poor little thing!"
Whoever took her would be
far away by now" said my
brothers. They'd never dare
to stay in the kingdom"
What about ChriStmas?"

just the same?"
"Oh. Alexander" said Aman-
da. "Of course we will"
They kept on talking and il
was much, much later than
usual when Thomas finally said

to the barn.
But when got to the barn

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

@. am residing in a house
which I plan to have ref1nished
with new siding. I will still be
residing in the house, but in the
|ref1nishing, will be residing"
the house. or "resideing" it?
A. That is an interesting point
of usage which, I imagine, has
puzzled many a person. There
are several words like your re
siding:
refuse remark
retire resort
resign recover
Now. suppose an inspector in
an ammunition factory should
write:
These shells must be refused.
Does he mean that they are to
be thrown out as worthless. or
CnaC they are 10 be equipped
again with fuses? Here are other
ambiguous sentences:
I must retire my car.
She will recover the chair.
He must remark the goods.
To make it clear that the
shells must have new fuses, the
car is to have new tires, the
chair is to have a new cover, and
the goods are to be marked
again. we must use a hyphen
after re. thus:
These shells must be refused.
I must retire my car.
She will recover the chair.
He must remark the goods.
Therefore. one correctly says
and writes:
I am residing in my house.

The Far Eust

The Korean war was brought
to a close when the Communist
rulers were made to realize that
they could not win.
The United States has made a
collective defense treaty with the
Republic of Korea which will ex-
clude, for the future, the Com
muniSt miscalculation as to an
nounced American interests and
intentions which led to the origi-
nal aggression.
The United States has made a
security treaty with the Republic
of China covering Formosa and
the PeScadores: and the Con-
gress, by virtually unanimous ac-
ton, has authorized the President
to employ the armed forces OF
the United States to defend this
area. AS a result, the Chinese
Communists have not attempted
to implement their announced
intention to take Formosa by
force.
In Indo-China, the Republics
of Vietnam and Cambodia and
Laos are now free and indie
pendent nations. The Republic
of Vietnam, with the United
States assistance, has denied the
Communists the gains which they
expected from the withdrawal of
French forces.
The security of Southeast Asia
has now been bolstered by the
collective defense system of
SEATO, and its peoples encour-
aged by the declarations in the
Pacific Charter of the principles
of equal rights and self-determi-
nation of the peoples.

The Middle East
And Southeast Asia

The Middle East has been
strengthened by the defensive
unity of the four northern tier"
countries-Turkey, Iraq, Iran,
and Pakistan-which hold gate
ways to the vast oil resources
upon which depend the industry
and military strength of the free
world. This was made possible
by the liberation Of Iran from
the grip of the Communist Tudeh
Party. Iran has again made its
oil reserves available to the
world under an equitable settle
ment negotiated by the United
States.
We have maintained, and will
maintain friendly relations with
all nations in this vital area,
seeking to mediate differences
among them, and encouraging
their legitimate national aspir-
atoms.

The Americas

Our good neighbor policy con-
tinues to prove its wisdom.
The American republics have
taken effective steps against the
cancer of Communism. At the
Caracas Conference of March
1854, they agreed that If inter-
national Communism gained
control of the political institu-
tions of any American republic,
this would endanger them all,
and would call for collective
measures to remove the danger.
This new doctrine, first pro-
posed by the United States,
tends into modern times the
principles of the Monroe Doc
trine.
A first fruit of the Caracas
doctrine was the expulsion of
the Communist regime ruling
Guatemala. Today, Guatemala is
liberated from Kremlin control.
The organization of American
States has grown in vigor. 1t has
acted promptly and effectively
to settle hemisphere disputes.
In Costa Rica, for the first time
in history, international aerial
inspection was employed to
maintain peace. The Panama
Conference was probably the
most successful in the long his
tory of the organization of
American States in its promo
ton of good will, understanding
and friendship.

Europe

In Western Europe. the scene
has been transformed. The
Federal Republic of Germany.
which until 1858 was denied
sovereignty and the opportunity
to join the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. has now had full
sovereignty restored by the trea-
ties Of 1854, and has become a
member of NATO despite the in
tense opposition of the Soviet
Union.
NATO itself has been strength
ened by developing the NATO
countries increasingly to attain
both economic welfare and ade-
quate military defense.
On our initiative, the political
aspects Of NATO are being de-
veloped. Instead Of being mere
ly a military alliance, NATO will
provide a means for coordinating
the policies of the member
States on vital matters, such as
the reunification Of Germany.
the liberation Of the satellites.
and general policies in relation
to the Soviet Union.
Austria has been liberated.

Human Freedom
And Peace

Under the leadership Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower, the United
States has advanced foreign poll
cies which enable our people to
enjoy the blessings of liberty and
peace.
The changes in the interna-
tional scene have been so great
that it is easy to forget the con-
ditions we inherited in 1858.
Peace, so hardly won in 1915.
had again been lost. The Korean
war, with its tragic toll of more
than an eighth of a million
American casualties, seemed des-
tined to go on indefinitely. It's
material costs and accompanying
imitation were undermining our
economy.
Freedom was under assault,
and despotism was on the march.
Armed conflict continued in the
Far East. and tensions mounted
elsewhere.
The threat of global war in
creased daily.
International om m u n ! m
which, in 1945, ruled the 200
million people in the Soviet
Union and Baltic States. was
conquering so that by 1852. it
dominated more than TOO million
people in Is once-independent
nations.
To-day
Now, we are at peace.
The Korean war has ended.
The Communist aggressors have
been denied their goals.
The threat of global war has
receded.
The advance Of Communism
has been checked, and. at key
points thrown back. The once
monolothic structure of inter-
national Communism. denied the
stimulant of successive conquests,
has shown hesitancy both inter-
nally and abroad.
