Polish Reds Independence Move Seen
fastening Showdown on Power Split

The startling developments
inside Red Poland will have
the Communist world rocking
for a long time to come. and
will force an early showdown
in the Kremlin between the
forces contending for supreme
power.
The usual secrecy and shad-
owiness of Moscow's power
politics clouds the facts Of
struggle inside the grim walls
OF the Kremlin. But struggle
there is, and the result cannot
be other than the defeat and
liquidation OF one side or the
other. The so-called "collec-
tive" leadership so much ex-
tolled in the post-Stalin Red
propaganda is nonsense, and
the top Reds know it.
All the collective leadership
really means is that, as yet, no
individual within 1t has been
able to gather to himself
enough power to destroy his
colleagues and seize the dicta-
torship. The entire Russian
Communist system is set up,
because of the long years OF
one-man dictatorship, to be
dominated by a single man
who keeps his power solely
through his control Of the
secret police.
In the present situation. 1t
is clear that the Red army has
an immense influence, far
greater than any it had during
the Stain era. Stain, when
the army began to grow too
powerful in the affairs of
state, simply murdered most
of the top generals and dis
patched thousands of key Of
flcers to a slow death in ST.
berian prison camps.
The Polish upheaval, in
which the comrades of War
saw are boldly declaring their
right to their own Red dicta-
torship free from Russian con-
troll, comes at a critical time
for the master plotters in

The President made the

effort TO open up lines of
communication, to penetrate
the iron curtain, ana to break
the stalemate that had existed

better known to downstate

1t may well be that Eisen-
hover can readily rise above
the troubles Of the State adj
ministration. But Dirksen will
have difficulty doing so and no
one denies that Stratton is
fighting for his life.
Stevenson's chances rest on
the fact that throw-the-ras-
cals-out sweeps tend to have
an about favor to them. No
one thought Truman could
carry Illinois in l948 and his
margin was indeed narrow.
There is still another factor
Of undetermined aspect in
Illinois. 1t is the Republican
isolationist right wing.
1t has lost its principal
newspaper voice in the late
Col. r. r. Mccormick. whose
Chicago Tribune now accepts
Eisenhower Republicanism if
not happily, with resignation,
as the best Of two evils. Dirk
sen was its darling when the
Colonel was alive, but Dirksen
has expediently deserted it for
EisenhoWer's coattails.
Maybe it is not what it used
to be: perhaps it never was.
But if it stayed home or cut
the ticket selectively, punish
ing deserter Dirksen in the
process, it could figure in close
contests.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Present-day politics must in
evitably cause many of it's
practitioners to hang their
heads in shame. For cam
paigning today seems to be de-
void Of morality. 1t has gone
so far in the widespread use OF
receptions and untruths. as a
means Of seeking to win votes,
that the American people may
we'll wonder why the poll
ticians think the majority Of
the voters have so little intel
ligence as to believe these mis-
representations.
Before the presidential cam
paien began there was pious
talk about moderation But
gradually it has become APP
parent that former President
Truman, the champion of the
give EN- hell technique. has
dominated the style and STRAIT
egg of the Democratic nomi-
nee, Adlai Stevenson.
The Republican spokesman,
too, have fallen victims to the
strategy and have tried to re-
turn arguments in kind. The
cries Of outraged provocation
he hit me first"-always
lead to more charges and
countercharges.
Adlai Stevenson has made
the basis Of his campaign an
innuendo that there's some
kind Of crooked relationship
between the Eisenhower adj
ministration and big bust
ness" Yet he himself, in an
article in Fortune magazine
in October, 1858, complained
that sit became part of the
ritual of New Deal politics to
castigate business system
that has always been rec
ognized by Americans as the
only permanent source of the
Jobs and consumer purchasing
power which the Government
was trying to restore"
Even today Stevenson says
now and then a kindly word
for big business enterprises as
such. but nevertheless conveys
the impression that there is a
crooked partnership between
the administration and big
business men. The political OBJ
tective, of course. is to imply
corruption and dishonesty and
to convey the idea that the

administration is crooked
through and through. This
type of campaigning, of which
Kefauverism is shocking eX-
ample, shows no sign of abate-
ment as election day draws
near.
Stevenson lately has been
blaming the tight money" sit
uation on the present admins
tration when he knows very
we'll that the Federal Reserve
Board, which fixes money rates,
is not a part of the administra-
ton but is a nonpolitical body
set up by the banks of the Ma
ton as provided by a law
passed under a Democratic adj
ministration. Before President
Eisenhower came into Office
in fact. until the last year Of
the Truman administration
the Treasury Department did
interfere and NEEDLE in the
fixing Of interest rates. But
now that the Treasury has re-
Trained in the last few years

venson attempts to make this
a political issue and blames
Eisenhower for this anti
imitation restraint called tight
money"
Does this mean that. if
elected, Stevenson would SUBJ
ject the Federal Reserve Board
to political pressure?
Stevenson is not the only
demagogue in the campaign.
Gov. Hartman speaks reck-
lessly and blameS President
Eisenhower for not having en-
dowed Col. Nasser with con-
science and the men in the
Kremlin with a sense Of mo-
rality.
Another example is this
comment in a recent speech
by Stevenson: They (the
Republicans at their conven-
tom deliberately and dramati-
cally threw Joe Smith-Ameri-
can-out, and put Richard

The innuendo that Repub-
lican is not an American is
one that Savors a bit of the
party of treason" stuff that
the Stevenson camp has been
criticizing. So presumably it
will be said that this is an
answer in kind.

When Russia got into the
act, the issue of ending H

one in the presidential cam

hear much about it in the few
days before the election. and

may block diplomatic roads

worked so long TO open up.
For such a result. If it oc-
ours. President Eisenhower
must share some responsibility
Needlessly hasty and intem-
perate, certainly. was his reply
to Soviet Premier Bulganin's
letter TO him in which the
Russian leader Endorsed Adlai
Stevenson's proposal to try TO
get a mutual agreement TO
stop H-bomb tests.
The rapprochement which
President Eisenhower, himself,
had been able to establish pre-
viously with Premier Bulganin
for negotiation OF our differ
ences is too important. Too
important. indeed, to be risked
for the sake OF a political
issue in a campaign that will
be over in two weeks. even
though the Presidents feelings
are understandable.
His mounting pique at Adlai
Stevenson was manifest TO
those who accompanied him
on his recent Pacific Coast
cayalcade A few days before.

ference here, he had bluntly
rejected the Stevenson pro-
poSal and said that would be

programs in the Isra eli
schools are predicated on
sports competition and it is
obvious that the love Israelis
have for sports has done much
to develop the modern Jew in
Israel-to no detriment at all,
no matter how one looks at it.
In the United States, too,
the status of the Jew can be
gauged by his progress or,
sometimes, lack of tin vari-
Gus sporting endeavors. For
example, take the sport of box
ing. Some seasons back, this

Ruby Goldstein, the noted

hitting lightweight contender
for the championship. Ruoy
was asked by a Jew in the
audience why there weren't
more Jewish boxers nova

Goldstein grew indignant, not
at the question which he rec
ognized as legitimate, but at
the realization that, in truth,
there were few good Jewish
fighters in the ring today.
That's just the trouble"
Ruby said, in all sincerity.
Jews today have it good.
They want their kids to get an
education and they are unwill-
ing for the kids to take a few
tough punches. So they get
excited if a kid wants to fight.
And they don't let them"
1T is QUITE accurate. In
the 192O's, when Jews were
immigrants and were feeling
