Aspects of Georges Retirement

the electric utilities, which he
previously had championed, in
issues involved in the 1854
Atomic Energy Act, despite
frantic appeals from the
Georgia Power Co.
Many months ago the word
began to circulate about
Georgia that Herman Tai
madge would seek the seat
that Senator George had oc-
cupied since 1922. He began
to make speeches about the
State. Next came word that
the dominant business and
financial interests, with whom
Herman Talmadge seems to
be as satisfactory as was his
father before him, would not
like to see the two men
battling each other for the
Senate seat. Among other
things. that would necessitate
financial contributions to the
campaigns of both, which
would be expensive.
Then came the wire-pulling
TO persuade" the Senator to
withdraw. Finally he yielded,
a much hurt and disappointed
man. You get this in a
phrase in his statement about
his withdrawal in which he
said that the reason, aside
from his health, that "im-
PEELED" him to retire was "the
freedom Of political action Of
my friends" which was inter-
preted as meaning the free
DOM they desired to drop
him and support the younger
man.
Now we are getting from
those interests which forced
the Senator out much ration
alizine propaganda to create
a new" Herman Talmadge to
sit on the national stage, a
figure looking not at all like
the rampant champion Of
white supremacy" that we
saw only recently on television
as he acclaimed with all his
fine fury on a Georgia plat
form.

be extended to such proven
friends as Syngman Rhee and
Chang Kai-Shek have fallen
on official deaf ears.
The visits of MeSsrS. Sukarno
and Nehru might also be the

the American people might
react if similar invitations were
extended to real Communist
bosses like Yugoslavia's Tito
and Russia's twins" Such
visits. it is believed in leaolng

prove to the electorate, more
than slogans. that President
Eisenhower's administr ton
has brought the country closer
to a lasting peace than all the
previous administrations.
There is no harm, it is said
in these quarters, to have
Communist leaders come as
the guests of the Nation to
Washington. Heart to heart
talks in an atmosphere Of
flattery as would inevitably
encircle the Red leaders, might
be more helpful than ex-
changes of diplomatic or per-
sonal correspondence as has
been going on for nearly a
year between Eisenhower and
Premier Bulganin and Marshal
Zhukov.

have a greater influence on
them than the reports of the
MVD agents. who are regarded
as so accurate by the Kremlin
that Comrade Khrushchev
was induced to blurt out this
week that he knew "as well
as the American military what
the actual American military
strength was; and that there
was not a single American
air base in the world not with
in the reach of the Soviet air
force"

The friendship, however. be-

citation among the leaders is
such that any candidate might
yield to the other without a
trace Of bitterness.
The strongest campaigner in
the group is Harry Truman.
If it is considered by the Dem
ocratic leaders generally that
President Eisenhower is really
invincible this tim e, there
would be much more of an
inclination to let the former
President make the race. The
politicians-with the excep-
ton of those in the South
could agree on Truman faster
than on anybody else.
Most of the talk about Tru-
man has arisen from the belief
that a stalemate would de-

neutralist policies of his coun-
try and the intimate re-
lationship with the Peiping
government apparently left
him no choice. He probably
knew that his unequivocal
answer would not offend the
American policy-makers.
Prime Minister Nehru, who
will travel to Washington in
President Eisenhower's per-
sonal airplane. is expected to
do more. He already has init
mated that the main objective
of the visit is to have long
and exhaustive conversations
with Eisenhower and Secretary
Dulles on best devices to help
relax the world tension. Like
Sukarno, Nehru is not a Com
munist; but unlike the Indo-
nesian President, he is more
than a neutralist in the cold
war. He actually believes that
the Communist leaders in
Moscow and Peiping are on
the right track while we are
the fly in the International
peace ointment. Our stub
bornness." particularly in re-
gard to Communist China, has
been severely denounced by
him in public and private ut
terances. If we would only
relent on our foolish" policy
toward the Chinese Commu-
nists, the world. he contends,
soon would become a great
happy family.
He made these views known
to Dulles during the latter's
recent visit to New Delhi, with
the result that our Secretary

ing that he appreciated his
frankness, FASTENED, with Eli
senhower's approval, to extend
to him a cordial invitation to

tralist statesmen are being

could the forces Of Hartman

At the moment Stevenson is
in the lead. He has more
strength within the party or
CARNATIONS than has Hartman
or Kefauver. But the Demo-
cratic nomination in 1856 is
not as valuable as it will be in
1860. Stevenson might con-
slider he would have a better
chance four years hence than
now. 1t could influence him at
the last moment to let a Har-
riman-Kefauver ticket go to
the country and take its lick
ing.
The main reason why the
Democratic nomination seemed
worth centending for this time
was the prospect a few months
ago that Ike wouldn't run on
account of his illness. But, as
the President now appears to
be getting better and better in
health. the Democratic NOM
ination may become more
valuable to Hartman than to
Stevenson. The New York
Governor has plenty of his own
funds to contribute to the race.
Also. he would not go out of
Office at Albany if defeated for
the presidency.
At present writing. the South
holds the balance of power.
There will, of course, be a fight
at the Chicago convention on
the civil rights issue. Senator
Lyndon johnson of Texas
could become the vice presi-
Dental nominee. either with
Hartman or Stevenson. The
Texas Senator has behind him
the powerful Sam Rayburn,
Speaker of the House, who, if
it were not for his IA years,
would be the logical second
man for the ticket this year.

BY making Senator Walter
F. George his personal repre-
sentative at NATO in Paris,
President Eisenhower is easing
the forced retirement from
politics of the venerable
Georgia Democrat, who thus
is saved from the oblivion to
which so many of the mighty
in politics have been consigned
so swiftly. surely and un-
tremendously.
But the Senator's assign
ment to the foreign post,
which he accepted this week
and will assume after the re-
cess of Congress, does not
assuage for him the ironic
tragedy of politics of which he
is the victim nor conceal it's
real meaning from those
familiar with the circum-
stances.
The story is simple and Oft
repeated. The powerful busi-
ness and financial interests
that dominate Georgia's poll
tics. which Walter George has
served here so long and faith
fully, decided that it was more
expedient, now that the end of
another six-year term pro-
vided the opportunity. to can
eel the lease of the aging SEN
ator who is less effective than
formerly and to accept as
tenant the young and vigorous
political leader, Herman Tai
madge, who has the potential
OF many years Of service from
which they hope to benefit.
The young man has been
pressing for his place on the
national stage here in the
Senate from which his father
the late Gene" Talmadge
was kept by Senator George
who defeated the elder Tai
madge in 1888. Herman Tai
madge's claims could no longer
be denied, for he has proved
his talent at getting elected,
which makes him a good invest
ment.
The international honor con-
ferred upon Senator George
removes the threat of his be-
coming the too-elder states
man who risks the loss Of the
prestige that is still the Sem
ator's as he steps out. AS one
reason for his retirement he
cited his health, and this re-

recommendation. 1t is less bind
ing upon the church than state
ments Of the political parties
at their conventions.
Supreme Court Lauded
Surely we believe segregation
is un-Christian. Surely we recog-
nize there are great and deep
problems. But surely we should
say that the Supreme Court de-
cision spoke the mind of Chris
tan conscience. We cannot al
low the Supreme Court to spear
head that which the Christian
Gospel should spearhead the
minimum we can do here is to
support that body which was
more courageous than ours in
speaking on this issue"
But County Judge James F..
Henninger of Allentown, Pa,
commended the Supreme Court de-
cision was made out of the
study Of the 14th Amendments.
7 do not think the question of
supporting the decisions Of the
Supreme Court belongs here. It
should be made outside the ques-
ton OF desegregation."
The motion to approve striking
out reference to the Supreme
Court decision was then sub
mitted to the delegates. 1t was
carried by vote of $40 to 159.
Additional Time Denied
After the action had been
taken and the whole statement
was up for approval, H. Odelle

more than ordinarily allowed.
DR.. Fry put the request to the
delegates. and Mr.. Harmon, a
member Of the South Carolina
Synod's executive board and
president of the Newberry Col
lege Board of Trustees, was
turned down. He was then al
lowed the usual 5-minute time
period. but later was granted an
additional two minutes to COM

adjournment time. 1t came on
a statement on desegregation
presented by the Board Of Social
Missions.
Only action by DR.. Franklin
Clark Fry, president of the %
million-member church, in re-
strieting proposed nonessential
and editorial changes prevented
the convention from extending
the debate further.
The Rev. Wynne Boliek, of
Greenville. S. c.. precipitated the
major discussion when he pro-
posed an amendment striking
out reference to the Supreme
Court decision Of May IT, 1854.
Pleads for Understanding
I'VE all know there are some
deep-seated feelings that have to
be recognized" DR.. Boliek told
the delegates. "All Of us know in
our own hearts what is right. but
what is right cannot always be
pushed into the hearts Of people.
We know that many Of our
Christian brothers. especially in
the South, have deep-seated
feelings about the Supreme
Court decision. We can save
some scars If we omit this section
and still accomplish the same
thing"
DR., Boliek also pointed out the
church had made a pronounce
ment on the segregation issue
In 1851.
This statement would now be
based on that announcement
and not on the moral crisis
which has been created by the
Supreme Court" he explained.
The Rev. Henry B. Luffberry
Of Philadelphia supported the
move, asserting, II do not feel
the thing that concerns my con-
gregation is what we say to the
South about the Supreme Court,
but rather that we should get to
the real issue Of Christian re-
sponsibility."
Mention of Decision Urged
The Rev. Harold C. Let's Of
Teaneck, N. j., member of the
Social Missions Board, opposed
the move by declaring, I'VE as
church should speak and feel
some responsibility to govern
ment as it performs its opera
tions. We ask in the sentence
that we recognize the Supreme
Court decision as being in har-
mony with Christian conviction.
If we leave in doubt that
this decision is not in accord
ance with Christian convictions,
we cast doubt upon the whole
process of Indignation"
Another New Jersey delegate,
the Rev. Arnold j. Dahlquist of
Crawford, declared, 1.-THE state
ment is on desegregation and
not on the general field of race
relations. I do not know
why it is that the church is
always afraid to have its state
ment speak to issues that con-
front people"

Of Milwaukee told the gather

declared. "Of course, that would
be much too early date for the
people of the South"
The statement was then sub
mitted to the delegates and re-
ceived an overwhelming voice
vote Of approval. Its two key
provisions insisted maintenance
of the public school system as
essential to q democratic, free
and just way Of life" and said,
"All parties to the present con-
troversy are in duty bound to

of law. and to maintain public
order"

about the confusion and bitter
ness that we are experiencing in
our racial relations in America
today" Mr.. Harmon declared,
The Christians Of the South
will not accept integrated schools
and churches and ''the Luz
theran Church in South Caro-
lima win not integrate."
If our Northern brethren
would be as patient with the
South as they have been with
themselves in the practice OF
segregation, they would have to
wait until the year 2O56 before
such a resolution would be of
