THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Democrats Fear of Eisenhower

during the Roosevelt and Tru-
man administrations. They
hate him because he was q
chief instrument in forcing
the trial Of Alger Hiss-which
former President Truman
agreed was q red herring"
when questioned by q reporter.
Mr.. Truman and numerous
other Democratic leaders have
charged that Nixon called
them TRAITORS" and the Demo-
cratic Party t'the party Of
treason" He never did, and
none Of them have been able
to produce evidence he did.
Apparently, they find it much
easier to answer a charge that
they were reasonable Ia
charge which was not made
but has been set up as a straw
man by the Democrats-than
to answer a charge they were
stupid in their dealing with
Communists at home and
abroad.
The latest line Of Demo-
cratic attack on Nixon relates
to the Vice Presidents recent
address before the National
Republican Club in New York
and his claims that the racial
minorities - particularly the
Negroes-haye made greater
advances in the three years
of Eisenhower administration
than in any years since the
Emancipation Proclamation it
self. Instead Of answering
these claims, the Democrats
have charged that Nixon
improperly dragged the SUI
preme Court into politics when
he said that Chief Justice
Warren, a Republican, had
spoken for d unanimous
Supreme Court, ordering an
end to racial segregation in
the Nations public schools.
Mr.. Nixon's own notes for the
speech show that he wrote:
And. speaking for q unan-
imous Supreme Court, a great
California Republican, Chief
Justice Earl Warren, has
ordered an end, ETC." In the,
draft handed to the press,
however, the word California
was removed. and the comma
shifted so that the phrase
read "a great Republican
Chief Justice, Earl Warren"
The Court and Politics
The fact remains. Of course.
that the order desegregating
the public schools of America
came during the Eisenhower
administration, and that the
opinion of the court was
handed down by the Chief
Justice. who was a Republican
Governor Of California before
his appointment to the
Supreme Court. As for drag
gfng the Supreme Court into
politics. Mr.. Nixon never ap-
preached the efforts Of Roose-
welt and Truman In that
regard. The former tried to
get legislation to pack the
court for the New Deal. Mr..
Truman, as told by himself,
tried to get the late Chief
Justice Fred Vinson to become
the Democratic nominee for
President in 1852. This Is
contrary to the Eisenhower
view of what . President
should do,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-02-22

It's no secret the Democrats
have hoped for many months
that President Eisenhower
would not stand for q second
term. It was true before the
President suffered q heart
attack. It's true today. The
fact the President has re-
gained his health to such q
marked degree that heart ex-
perts say he could serve an
other five to ten years In the
White House has sent cold
shivers down the Democratic
backs.
They fear their hope-that
he viii not run-will be
dashed. And this fear is
making itself evident in q new
rash of propaganda, emanating
from themselves and their
protagonists. First. that the
President is not doing a job
and will be unable to do one.
because Of his lack of health,
and that he should not run
for another term. Second,
that Vice President Nixon is
not qualified, either for his
present office or to take over
the presidency should any
thing happen to Mr.. Eisen-
hover.
Contrast TO Roosevelt
This line Of talk-that the
President should now decline
to run, even though the doc
tors assure him he can carry
on as President for five years
or more comes with poor
grace from a political party
which insisted on nominating
and electing-not for a Sec
ond term but for a fourth
term--a President who was
so i'll that he lived only SO
days. including inauguration
day. President Eisenhower
himself. his physicians and his
press secretary. James A.
Hagerty. have told the
American people the facts
about the Presidents health,
the extent Of his recovery
quite q contrast. The late
President Franklin D. Roose-
welt was reelected for his
fourth term in the midst Of
World War II, and he took
part in the vital Yalta Con-
ference. where the Russian,
Communists gained so much
-as history has revealed
February ALL. 1945. just two
months before he died.
President Eisenhower Is en-
gagged in making his own esti-
mate of his probable strength
to carry on as Chief Executive.
It will be an honest estimate.
The Democratic attempt to
prejudice this estimate-if he
decides he can rurl--in, the
minds Of the people Is indica-
tive of the campaign which viii
be carried on against Essen
hover. It viii be designed to
shake the faith of, the people
in the President.
The smear campaign which
the Democrats have in full
course against Vice President
Nixon shouldn't fool anyone.
They hate Nixon becalisetin his
campaign speeches he has been
foremost In pointing to their
failure to understand the
Russian Communist threat

Around this time every year,
the thoughts Of Templeton
Jones turn to a beret.
He has longed for countless
years to wear the brimless hat
nature evidently designed for
Frenchmen alone.
Oh. sure. many others wear
'em, but none with such
aplomb. It is the aplomb.
after all, that makes a French
man.
Recall the famous Blue
Devils Of World War: /? Each
member wore q beret. tilted
over one eye. Each looked
splendid.
Ever since he saw those
| mighty warriors, Templeton
Jones has dreamed Of wearing
o beret.
He recalls, too, the first
violin of the orchestra from
France.
He wore a beret, over a plain
blue suit with dark red scarf
around his neck.
Nothing more picturesque in
male form has ever been seen
since Berlioz, the composer.
Jones stared at this picture
from the Old World.
He longed again to wear a
beret.
BY this time 1t must be evil
dent that M. Jones is exactly
the type which should never.
never, never wear one.
Why is it that fat ladies
yearn to wear plaids?
Well, whatever 1t is, 1t is
exactly the same thing that
makes all men with big noses
want to wear a beret.
Watch the few male beret
wearers you encounter every
now and then on the streets
Of Washington, and you will
see that Cyrano de Bergerac
nose every time.
The nose does it.
The nose must be held &C
countable for the yearning.
Every guy with a large nose
thinks that the lack of brim
will somehow hide the nose.
1t won't. as Jones has dis
covered.

Jack Jonas wrote In THE
Rambler" some notes on q
marble likeness Of Lincoln,
done by Lot Flannery.
A marble statue Is not more
apt to be realistic than an
ordinary apsh I, as he
quoted experts. An artistic
photographer has equal chance
with the sculptor TO capture
the spirit or personality of q
living subject.
Flannery's marble Lincoln
could not portray Abe realistic
cally. since 1t differs markedly
from hundreds Of photos. It
could not portray Lincoln's
noble spirit. for its lips are
drawn down In pout, as If he
were angry with the world.
The eyes are not the deep,
steady eyes Of reflection, but
deep, greedy eyes OF lust. The
countenance Is evil and re-
pulsive. Since this disturbing
aura Is peculiar neither to
Lincoln nor to marble, ! ex-
pect its attributable cause lies
In a defect Of the sculptor's
craftsmanship or character.
The Lincoln Memorial statue
is as great as any art of any
place. time, or medium, and
compares fayorably with Abe's
photographs and person. The
Flannery statue in front of old
District Court, commended BY
Mr.. Jonas and some experts"
should be removed to the
Smithsonian as On example
Of what monstrosities can pa
rade under the banner Of art.

Art Note
william Dewey Foster.

I would like to refute Betty
Beaie's statement that Mrs.
Harold Stassen only paints
portraits Of her husband. Re-
Gently. Mrs. Stassen was kind
enough to let this writer do an
article about her for our
church paper (they are mem
hers Of our church in Chevy
Chase and I had the privi-
lege to peek into Mrs. Stassen's
studio In her home.
True, she is doing q very nice
portrait Of her husband right
now. the first one so far as I
could ascertain, but there are
30 many other lovely pictures
there. For instance, those beau
tiful peaches; the Japanese
goddess copied from a porce-
lain iigurine; the portrait Of
Kathleen as a small child: her
mother : in law. a beautiful
thing: the eighty-year-old doll
In a rocking chair: a seascape
and many others. I do not
claim to be any connoisseur of
art, but I do know a nice pic
ture when I see It. All Of her
paintings are lovely; she has
real talent for the six years
that she has been working at
this medium.
The statement was unfair to
Mrs. Stassen. A lady ought to
be able to paint one portrait
Of her husband.

Interposition View

Several OF your readers have
written asking me why I voted
against the resolution on In
terposition, hailed In Rich
mond papers as IAN effective
way to oppose the Supreme
Courts ruling in the segrega-
ton case"
The doctrine Of interposi-
ton was conceived when our
great Nation was a lusty,
sprawling infant. with a nat
ural and Understandable dis
like Of the parental control
inherent In a strong central
government. Many then were
unable to comprehend the in
spired political wisdom which
drafted the Constitution Of
the United States, NOR were
they able to comprehend the
absolute necessity Of welding
together in one strong, indivis-
ible nation the States which
comprised the Union.
As a consequence, almost
from its beginning. the Nation
was divided into two opposing
camps - those who believed
that the States could reject
any Federal action Of which
they disapproved and those
who felt. that In order to en-
dure, the National Government
had to have a measure Of
power superior, in some in
stances. to the power reserved
to the States.
From the first group came
the doctrines OF interposition.
notification and secession.
From the second group came
the demand for a strong CEN
trail government and unit.
The great debate was re-
solved by the Civil War-the
doctrines Of interposition. null
LITIGATION and secession were
buried in the cold gray ashes
of 1865. Time marches on
and time has sustained the
Judgment and wisdom Of those
who in drafting the Constitu-
ton Of the United States
wrote far better than they
knew.
Modern methods of trans
portation and communication
underscore the necessity of a
united nation. The atomic
bomb. the guided missile. the
ever-constant threat of COM
munism-all of these under
score the necessity for strong
central government.
Where would we be today il
the theories Of John c. Cali
houn. interposition. nullifica-,
ton and secession. had pre-
vailed? To seize upon such dis
credited theories Of govern
ment today would be to close
our eyes to all that has hap
pened since 1861.
In addition, it would be
useless thing in combating
the Supreme Courts segrega-
ton decision. The Attorney
General of Virginia has ruled
that interposition has no bind
ing force on the Federal Gov
eminent and cannot be used
as a legal defense by the
Prince Edward School Board.
The Attorney General also
stated that the Supreme
Courts decision remains bind
ing by virtue of superior force.
This has been my conten-
ton from the beginning. The
sooner this fact is recognized,
the sooner we will be able to
make effective plans to help
solve the many complex prob
lens presented by the courts
decision.

Prophet Khrushchev

One of the things that call for a Sec
ond look in Nikita Khrushchev's recent
5O,OO0-word address Is his jaunty pre-
diction that the "invincible" Soviet sys-
tenn will inevitably be established every
where in the world. And why does he feel
so confident about this? Well, as he has
told his comrades in Moscow, the answer
is simple enough: Capitalism and free
enterprise are dying rather fast, and I'VE
believe that after seeing for themselves
the advantages that communism holds
out, all working men and women on earth
will sooner or later take to the road Of
the struggle to build" universal Red
totalitarian society.
But will they, really2 Will they be
enchanted by the Marxist-Leninist sys-
tenn and gladly consent to live under itP
Mr.. Khrushchey must pardon Westerners
if they tend to ridicule his forecast. After
aaaly although Soviet devices like the Iron
Curtain, censorship and rigid travel re-
strictions prevent them from seeing for
themselves the advantages" of commu-
nism, informed free men already know
enough facts about the Red empire to
md 1t completely repellent. And the
clearest and most repugnant Of the facts
is that individual and group liberty has
been Systematically throttled and de-
stroyed wherever the Communist tyranny
holds sway.
As for everyday material things
housing, food, clothes, recreation, the
length Of the work week. refrigerators,
automobiles and the like-the people OF
the Soviet Union, which is supposed to
be the paradise of all the Communist
controlled lands, are obliged to put up
with before butter living standard
that is miserably low compared to that
of the West. The money they earn, in
what may fairly be called sweat-Shop
labor system (there is also separate
slave-labor SYSTEM, Is scarcely enough
to keep them supplied with the bare
necessities Of life. Moreover, although
their population has grown tremendously
at rate of million year, their country
lin contrast to It's heavy industrial ex-
pansion-suffers seriously from its grossly
inefflcient collectivized agriculture.
These are but few of the realities
that illustrate the advantages" of the
Soviet system. Other realities include
those that bear upon the terrible things
that have happened to such once
independent and once prosperous lands
as the Baltic states and Czechoslovakia.
The people there have seen for themselves
what communism means, and the over
whelming majority of them unquestion-
ably detest it. II the Kremlin believes
otherwise, why does 1t keep them locked
up behind the Iron Curtain and refuse
to let them hold free elections?
The answer Is obvious. Those who
live under the advantages" of Commu-
mist rule are on the whole so economically
down at the heels and so spiritually and
physically oppressed that they would
overthrow that rule forthwith II only they,
had the right to vote or the power to flght
themselves back to freedom. This is a
point that Mr.. Khrushchev has convent
entity forgotten to mention In his long
grafton. 1t is point that eloquently
underscores the. basic weakness of his
prophecy. a4s
