Knowland Allows
His Name To Be
In Alaska Primary

would not object to the unsolicit-
ed entry of his name in the April
"a Alaska primary Gin view of the
statements by the President in
viting such filings and because of
the uncertainties as to what his
decision will be ."
He said also lie will not ask
withdrawal of his name from the
ballot in Illinois. Eisenhower took
a similar stand when his name
was entered in Illinois, like
Knowland's, by other persons.
The lone Democratic name en-
tered there by the deadline Mon
day was that of Adlai Stevenson.
Sen. Duff R-P0 predicted yes
terday President Eisenhower will
make known his second term in
tention ''long before" April TO-,
the date of the Illinois primary.
Duff, one of the early Eisen-
hover hackers in 1852, made this
prediction in an interview in
which he said he doesn't think
anybody is going anywhere" in
seeking the COP presidential
nomination until Eisenhower de-
clares his intention.
Reiterating that the President
will have his support if he runs,
Knowland said in a statement:
"If the President should deter
mine not to be a candidate for re-
nomination and reelection, the
regular electoral processes for
nominations should be allowed 70
operate so that the Republican
Party may determine as between
alternative choices. In this way
the people of the several states
having primaries will have an OPP
portunity to make their views

Not included in the text of

what the lay committee OPP
posed was a statement issued
on the stationery Of "the
Board Of Christian Education

anti-McCarthy fight, claiming
that the general assembly Of
the church gave implied sane

in part:

urgent that as many persons

persuade neighbors and

While clergymen as indi-
viduals have the same rights
as other persons in or out

raised here concerned the
wisdom of national church

the church for political or
quasi-political purposes. 1t is
a controversy that many o.
the Christian laymen feel in
the long run cannot out di-

that this activity impairs the

reach their goals. So long as
the Communists believed that
there was a full American
British community Of interests
they hesitated. But when they
discovered it was a false front
they took chances they would
not otherwise have dared to
take.
The lure of remunerative
trade with Russia and China
delighted some short-sighted
Britons. not only among the
Socialists. but also the Con-
servatives. And Moscow and
Peiping ably exploited the
Anglo-American misunder-
standings.
American policy-makers may
be overoptimistic when they
believe now that Developments
since last summers summit
meeting have convinced the
British that they have been on
the wrong track. We may be
indulging in wishful thinking
when we believe that our
cousins have finally realized
that the survival of freedom
is more important than trade.
Yet. our hopes are based on
the realism of Britain's long
range policies.
What is expected from the
Eisenhower-Eden conference is
not so much a uniformity Of
policy over regions where our
interests may differ but the
restoration of a common front
between the two English
speaking countries. Our policy
makers realize that on'" in
this manner can a catastl >phic
war be averted. And they ex-
pect the British to see this in
the same light.

Not in years has the farm

the left-wingers headed by
Aneurin Bevan, followed pol

calculated to estrange Amer

The present talks are being

A definite overall realign-

THOMAS 1. STOKES
Consumer Versus 'Biq Or

and the consumer paramount.
Business and industry have,
indeed, done their parts. They
have reacted to these induce
mepts by expanding produc-
ton so that we do have a
booming economy. But to
counter dangers in a boom
economy any administration
now is much better equipped
than in the 1920s to control
the economy.
These and prosperity give
the consumer also a certain
repose and apathy.
But there is for him a serious
potential threat in the entry
into the councils of govern
ment Of business, industry and
finance in a way that is so in
fluential on policy. That is
illustrated in many ways, but
currently-and for purposes
herein two fields.
One is exemplified in the
natural gas bill which twice
before was stopped when big
oil did not have the influence
1t now Yields in government.
The other field is electric
power where, under the So
called partnership" policy. the
private utilities are being per-
mitted to grab choice hydro
electric power sites and thus
enjoy, in perpetuity, the prof.
its from resources that belong
to all the people.
The consumer has been
lulled to a false sense Of
security by the boom" psy-
chology. But he risks loss Of
the protection which he won
after so long and hard battles
II he permits the regulatory
authority over our economy to
be whisked away in such greedy
gestures as the natural gas bill
and the partnership" power
policy.

most responsible and it Is, in
deed, the orthodox economies
OF substantial business, indus
try and finance which he

Nor is it new. We have.
however, not seen it dominant

Government as it is now since
Republican administrations Of
the 1920s when its progenitor
was the multimillionaire Pitts
burgh industrialist, the late
Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary
of Treasury in the administra-
tons of three Presidents in
that decade.
AS then. so it has been
worked out in the last three
years by special concessions to
business and industry. These
include easing of taxes, among
other ways by liberalizing de-
probation allowances for OBJ
solescence of plants and equip
ment: by fast write-offs of
income taxes for new plants
and plant expansion, originally
a war measure to encourage
production for our defense but
still retained in peace time; by
continuing indefensible deple-

other extractive industries, and
by special treatment of divi-

User Finds His Voice Is q Mere WHISPER
In Fight to Block Natural Gas Bill

One lesson we should learn
from the current natural gas
bill experience in the Senate is
how much the odds are against
the consumer, with what a
small voice he speaks. when he
finds himself up against a pow
erful vested interest backed by
literal billions. such as big oil
in this instance.
Consumers as such lack Or
ganization still to make them
selves felt on a national issue,
though often well organized
locally and even regionally.
If this bill to deprive the nat
ural gas consumer of protec-
ton at the source, by exempt
ing producers from regulation
by the Federal Power Commits
sion, should finally get through
Congress at this session, per-
haps consumers would wake up
and organize themselves more
effectively, belated as that
would be.
They might as we'll recog-
nize also that they are in a
more vulnerable position today
than in many years because of
the Eisenhower administration
philosophy and the way it is
working out.
That philosophy, and it is
openly acknowledged, is to en-
courage business and industry
by relieving them of reStric-
tons of various sorts and
making special concessions on
the theory that thus they will
be induced to increase produce
ton and so provide full en-
ployment and a high national
income. It is a philosophy for
which Secretary of Treasury
George Humphrey is perhaps
