DAVID LAWRENCE
Weak Republican Party FoIIocy

bers Of voters after 1920-the
gap averaged 11.9 per cent
Until 1852.
1t should be noted that only
five losing presidential candi-
dates out of Is ran behind
their congressional tickets
Parker in 1904, Bryan in 1908,
Davis in 1924, Landon in 1896
and Stevenson in 1852.
So all the talk about the
weak Republican Party" be-
cause of the 1852 vote may be
dismissed as a superficial APP
praiSal. Outside the Southern
States-in the North the Re-
puDlicanS elected 22l members
to control the House of Repre-
Sentatives in 1952-the per-
centage which the Republican
congressional ticket polled out
of the total congressional vote
Of both parties was $50. Eisen-
hower's percentage of the total
two-party vote in the same
Northern States was 56.5.
These figures show how close
the percentage of strength be-
tween Ike and his congressional
ticket really was. Only be-
cause a larger total vote was
cast for the presidency than
for both parties on the con-
gressional ticket has there been
a fallaciouS impression created
that the Republican Party has
been a lot weaker than EiSen-
hover.
1t could happen that the
Republicans would capture
both houses of Congress this
time because their candidates
for Congress are locally
stronger than the Democrats,
but 1t could also happen that,
because so many veteran
Democrats are running-the
voter tends to keep the expert
enced legislators in power-Ike
could win and still be faced
with a Democratic Congress.
In either case, it would have
little to do with party strength
as such. Congressional contests
are essentially local.
So it all adds up to the prop
osition that the congressional
and presidential elections are
two separate sets of contests.
Sometimes a popular congress
sional candidate helps the
presidential nominee, and vice
versa. There's no uniformity.

BONN, West Germany, Oct
24.-The United States Army is
advocating the training of all
civilians in the medical handling
of nuclear warfare victims.

manding officer of the medical
center at Landstuhl. West Ger

us to think of training every

degrees from an atomic explo-
sion. medical teams. no matter
how efficient, must be supple
Imented by Self-aid on the part
Iof the populace itself.
Everyone must be trained to
evacuate his wounded fellows"
Col. Arnold is supervising the
first of a series of courses for
United States Army personnel in
Germany or the mass survival
care Of nuclear warfare victims.
Great Problem Recognized
The courses mark the start of
mass indoctrination of all Army
personnel in atomic survival
techniques.
Col. Arnold pointed out:
"The whole thing (nuclear war
ware) poses a tremendous and
grim aspect, and our start here

lis to plan for the successive train
ing for mass survival on the most
practical and, at the same time,
most humane basis possible.
The medical officer took note
Iof speculation that the most Sc
riously injured nuclear victims
might have to be abandoned.
He said that, contrary to some
reports, there is no advocacy of
abandoning anyone" But he
added:
I'm the center of a nuclear
burst, you would have your
greatest concentration of fatali-
Ities-probably 100 per cent.
Never Enough Medics
Relief, by civilians as we'll as
imedics. would move in from out
side, rather than the reverse. The
first injured encountered would
therefore be the slightest, and
lit would stand to reason that
they would be the first to receive
some sort of treatment.
"ThoSe seriously injured at the
outset would be most likely to
die eventually. The most hui
name and expedient thing to do
would be to administer sedatives
or opiateS and to go on working
toward the relief of those who
stand a better chance of sur
vival."
Referring to the need for mass
indoctrination Of civilians in
handling nuclear casualties, Col.
Arnold elaborated:

DORIS FLEEsON

NEW YORK.-The issue of
the menace to survival in I'M
bridled testing of the H-bomb
has been joined.
1t will dominate the remain
ing two weeks of the campaign.
Adlai Stevenson now has no
choice but to ride it, and in
deed he wants no other.
He believes wholly in what
he says; he has been saying
it since last spring in a speech
to the Nations editors before
the primaries had made his
nomination for President
probable.
In contrast to the timidity of
his immediate staff, he is
getting encouragement from
elected officials who have
proved their ability in hard
fought campaigns to reach the
voter.
His vice presidential candi-
date-Senator Kefauver-
backed him Immediately and
strongly. So have Senators
Gore and Humphrey. who are
spending all their days on the
stump in various parts of the
country.
They report they receive
ovations when they describe
the questions raised by H-bomb
tests and attack President
Eisenhower for being indiffer-
ent or attempting to stifie dis
cussion.
The New York Times has
mentioned one such ovation
received by Gore at a cam
paign luncheon for the Demo-
cratic chairmen of faction
ridden Kentucky, attended by
600 persons. Gore is a mem

changes in the materials
governing heredity) that are
passed on to succeeding gen.
erations. Human gene muta-
ton which produces observ-
able effects are believed to be
universally harmful the
more radiation, the more mu-
tationS the harm is cumu-
lative."
Translated, this is an ele-
mental threat. If the men
who make it did not believe
it. they would be monsters
themselves.
Relating the issue to foreign
policy. as has Stevenson, Gore
contends that "the hazard to
the babies of tomorrow is
worldwide" How long, he
asks, can this country keep
the friendship of the world IF
we continue to contaminate
the very air they breathe?"
He concludes by praiSing
Stevenson for being sufficient
ly sensitive to this danger to
recognize it, sufficiently coura-
geous to propose action to avoid
it,"
President Eisenhower delayed
his own white paper on the is
sue so that Stevenson would
not have time to study it be-
fore speaking at Madison
Square Garden. This had the
further advantage of sharing
the headlines about it.
Also taking place is furious
maneuvering to saddle each
candidate with the favor of
the Kremlin. This is the ma
ture Of politics. 1t is, of course,
irrelevant. Practically in an
emotion-laden atmosphere of
the campaign climax, Eisen-
hover gets the benefit of what
ever propaganda value lies in
the Bulganin letter.
