THE GAME OF POLITICS
"A Probing Look at the Investigators
BY FRANK r. KENT

jackson, if you and Senator
Symington know all these
things to be facts, why cannot
you and he write your report
now instead Of going to all the.
bother and expense of taking
testimony and hearing wit
neSses?"
This brought Senator Jack
son up with quite a little turn.
At once he began to expand
eloquently upon the alleged
openness of his mind and to
declare that all he wanted to,
do was get the truth to the
American people," But he did
not directly answer Mr.. Will
sons amiable question. Also,
he rather skidded away from
queries as to how he and Mr..
Symington got all these facts"
about our weakness and the
Soviet strength. Although, in
effect, he accused Secretary
Wilson and the President of
being lax and uninformed, he
took care not to make direct
accusations. His chief annoy
ance seemed to be that Secre-
tary Wilson had failed
promptly to reply to a letter he
wrote and the President had
been slow in adopting some
suggestions he had made.
Aimed at Administration
Altogether Senator Jack
sons performance was inter-
esting in that 1t throws a clear
light upon the character Of
these Investigations" which
Democratic Senators have
launched and now control.
With few exceptions, they are
aimed at the administration
and will be used to promote
Democratic prospects in the
coming elections. They are
partisan in their origin and
are expected to provide cam
paign ammunition for Demo-
cratic candidates, writer's and
orators. OF course, it is true
that if the situation were re-
versed with a Democrat in the
White House, the Republicans
would be doing the same thing
in the same way. Republican
Senators, up for reelection,
would be assailing a Demo-
cratic Secretary of State much
as Senators Fulbright, the gar
rulous Wayne Morse and the
tiresome Hubert Humphrey. of
Minnesota, try to make VIII
lains and boobs out of the
President and Mr.. Dulles. They
might even go to the same ex-
tremes of Misrepresentation as
the Democrats are now going
in their effort to find a really
effective campaign issue. So
far these seem singularlt in
effectual. Perhaps, the best
answer to the propaganda
flood from the Democratic side
was that ironically given by
the President at a recent press
conference. 1T constantly
amazes me-" he said, 'how
much information some people
seem to get on these military
subjects that I cannot get at
ALL" Coming from the Com
mander in Chief that really is
amazing.

Census

The police department fin
ished its annual census of the
city 80 years ago this month.
and on June 10, 1906, The
Star said: Maj. Sylvester an
nounced from police head
quarters this afternoon the
result of the police census OF
the District of Columbia.
which was taken during the
latter part of May. The COM
plete returns. as announced
today, show that the increase
IN the population Of the Dis
trict in the year since the
census was taken before is
1912. These figures are in
the same ratio OF increases as
was manifested in previous
years by the census OF the
police, and would indicate that
the work has been done ac-
curately. The returns show:
Total white. 23i,4i7: total
colored. 95,018; total, 326,435.
-. The police have worked
intelligently and earnestly, It
is stated, to make an indiS-
putable report. and the labor
has been by no means
small. :"

Nearly every day additional
evidence of the great political
advantage which accrued to
the Democrats when they
gained a majority of the Sen
ate in 1854 is given. Their
margin of control was only one
and that temporarily disap-
peared some months ago when
Senator Kilgore, of West Vir-
ginia, died. However. Demo-
cratic control was quickly re-
gained. when the Democratic
Governor of the State ap-
pointed a Democratic Senator
William r. Laird, 3d-to fill
the vacancy. A majority of
one is. of course, extremely
precarious but is quite enough
to hold the advantage and af-
ford the Propaganda facilities
which did not exist before and
come only with party control.
The most effective thing
about the present Senate set
up is that it not only has in
stalled Democrats as chairmen
, of all standing Senate COM
mittees but it has enabled the
Democratic majority to eStab-
lish Democratic control over
various special newly created
"investigative" com m ittees
such as the one Senator
Symington, of Missouri, now
heads to probe the conduct of
the Defense Department; the
one Senator Mcclellan, of Ar
kansas, heads to investigate
the lobby situation as it affects
Congress and others sched-
uled to come into being before
this session adjournS.
Significant Example
The chairmanships of these
special committees give the
Democrats the same sort of
sounding board that Senator
Mccarthy had when the Re-
publicanS were in control and
undoubtedly will be used in
much the same way except.
perhaps, that the exhibition
of prejudice may not be so
blatant. A significant exam
pie Of the way in which these
Democratic investigations are
headed was given recently
when Senator Jackson, Demo-
crat Of Washington, and Sec
ond man on the Symington
subcommittee, was on a tele-
vision panel. For half an hour
Senator Jackson had been
pointing out the sins of omis-
sion and commission of Secre-
tary of Defense Wilson. Also
he explained, as Senator SYM
ington had done in a Senate
speech, how far ahead of us
the Russians were in the de-
velopment of, ballistic missiles.
long distance bomber planes
and other atomic weapons of
destruction. In brief, he paint
ed a most terrifying picture of
our feebleneSS and failures.
He gave, as had Senator SYM
ington, a good many support
ing figures. When he was
through, the able and expert
enced Richard Wilson, of the
CowleS publications, who had
questioned him, quietly said
with a smile. swell, Senator

nations and all peoples. This
is no political belief no mat
ter who in, America treats it
as such. It is treason.
The attempt to dump all the
confessed villainieS endured by
the Russian people and those
imprisoned in satellites on a
dead dictator-the decision to
make q Satan out of Stain
is the most brazen piece of eff
frontery ever perpetrated by a
regime in all history. With
out one iota Of self-righteous-
ness. with God still in His
heaven and on His earth
the God whose law and love
still govern the world, the free
world has a right to point to
the sickening Soviet exhibition
and say. with sadness, by
their fruits shall We know
them" Those who now speak
for this unspeakable system
take as their bible the gospel
according to Lenin. Defining
morality as anything which
serves to destroy an enemy.
here is what he said: 1T is
necessary to use any ruse, cum
ming, unlawful methods, even
concealment of the truth"
From that conception put into
hideous practice has sprung
the awful harvest of abomina-
tionS. 1t is the fruit of the
warped theories of Marx mixed
with the sinister expediencies
of Lenin.
But it is said, in spite of
the abuses. the church is still
allowed in Russia. Yes, but it
is a captive church, forbidden
to raise its voice against the
iniquities of the regime. Its
lips are padlocked so far as

Critics of the Chancellor have been urg-
ing direct Soviet German negotiations but
their case is not helped by the Khrush-
chev statement. These developments,
and any possibilities for new approach
to the problem, will be reviewed here. It
is good that the opportunity arises when

Storm
A storm close TO hurricane
force hit Washington so years
ago. On June 13, 1906, The
Star reported one phase of the
damage. The story said: Fol
lowing a terrific clap of
thunder. the wind which
struck Washington yesterday
afternoon caught the end Of
the roundhouse Of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad at Trini-
dad and shattered it like a
house of cards. and a far
greater portion of the round
house collapsed. Two rail-
road employes-CharleS Cam
non, an engineer, of Balti-
more, and Ororado Malatti, an
engine cleaner, of Washing
tor-were caught in the COL
lapse and severely injured.
Both were taken to the Cas-
ualty Hospital for treatment,
and at late hour last night
1t was stated that both will
recover. About Is men we're
working in the roundhouse at
the time of the collapse. and
1t is regarded as surprising
that more of them were not
injured or killed. They escaped
the falling debris by various
means, most of them running
out into the storm to get out
from under the falling build
ing. Had the accident &C.
Cured an hour earlier, so
men would probably have
been in and around the struc-
