With the Utmost Gravity

It must be hoped that the Kremlin
will not underestimate the seriousness of
the State Departments statement reaf-
flrming our country's support for the col
lective efforts of Iraq, Iran, Turkey and
Pakistan to maintain their political in
dependence and territorial integrity. 1t
must be hoped, too, that the Soviet lead
ers will take at face value the state
mentS assertion that a threat to that
independence and integrity would be
viewed by the United States with the
utmost gravity"
What this plainly implies is warn
ing that the American position will not be
passive if an attack is launched against,
any of these four members of the Bagh-
dad Pact. After ALL although not a
Signatory to the pact, our country has
supported it from the start with bilateral
arrangements and active participation in
its economic and antiSubverSion commit
tees. And such backing, as the State
Department has emphasized, will con-
tinue in an effort to promote peace in
the Middle East.
The departments statement has been
issued against background of rather
alarming reports of Substantial" Soviet
arms shipments to Syria. At the same
time, while processing to be non Commu-
mist, the Syrian leadership has been fol-
lowing a roKremlin line and verbally
aSsailing the Baghdad Pact nations-eS-
pecially Iraq-in way that has greatly
increased tension in the area. Mean
while, MoScow'S propagandists have filled
the air with charges accusing Turkey and
Iraq Of plotting, in concert with Israel
and Western "imperialiSts," to attack the
SyrianS. AS to that, our Government is
said to have warned both those countries
against undertaking any rash action.
In this potentially dangerous situa-
ton, the State Department has done
we'll to stress the fact that Iraq, Iran,
Turkey and PakiStan have only recently
staged two important meetings to reaf-
firm their determination to further a
peaceful and lasting settlement of Middle
Eastern problems" And their determi-
nation should be the stronger because
events in that part of the world-particu-
larly the cease-f1re in Egypt-have pro-
vided all nations with new opportunity
to resolve serious underlying issues in a
mutually satisfactory manner serving the
cause of everybody's peace. and security.
In effect, in saying this, the State
Department has appealed indirectly to
the Kremlin to stop fomenting trouble in
the Middle East and to join instead with
the overwhelming majority of the United
Nations in continuing good-faith effort
to establish peaceful conditions there.
The appeal, of course, may fall on deaf
ears, but it is nonethelesS timely one,
and it has special force because of the
implied warning accompanying it.

century's connection with the
country. Calculations have
been made showing that only
some $4,000 descendants of
the 1882 Moslem settled popu-
lation were living in Palestine
at the outbreak Of World War
II. Waves of immigrating
Arabs from neighboring coun-
tries were attracted by the
higher standard Of living made
possible by Zionist develop
ment. Far from having been
the settled population of Pal
estine, according to a prevail
ing misconception, rs per cent
of the Arab population there
were either immigrants them
selves or descendants Of per-
sons who immigrated into Pal
estine during the past century,
mostly after 1882.
These facts are cited, not to
prove that the Arabs have no
rights in what was once called
Palestine, but to show that
both Jews and Arabs have
rights. There is a case for one
side and for the other as well.
I can think Of nothing bet
ter than to have all parties
concerned sit down at the con-
ference table, and, with the
help Of the United Nations,
come to q settlement which
can bring peace and stability

"Your Dollars Are Building
a Police State in Formosa" is
the title of an article by K. c.

of that island by Chang Kali
shek and held that position
for three years. This article.
published in one of our maya
zines Of large national cir
culation in June. 1854, re-
peated and amplif1ed the
charges Ex-Governor WI had
previously made in newspaper
interviews.
In it he stated that Chiang's
son Chang Ching-kuo, who
was head of the secret police
and who had spent IA years in
Moscow and married a Russian
Communist, had already large
ly fallen heir to his fathers
power. This younger Chang,
WI alleged, had instituted
Communist methods, regi-
menting the young people of
the country in Communist
type youth organizations, APP
pointing political commissars,
suppreSsing civil liberties.
When I was in Taipei last
year, several Formosan bust
ness and professional men, an
American missionary, and two
members of a third nationality
expressed the opinion to me
that WI was telling the truth
in making these charges. Sadly
one of them added, This is
not Free China"
Now Constantine Brown on
November Is gives additional
confirmation to these charges.
But this columnist, like our
visiting Senators and diplo-
mats, probably spent his time
with our embassy officials and
Chiang's officers, without get
ting acquainted with the For
mosan people. And his tone
seems to voice approval-as If
totalitarianisnf becomes hal
lowed by being allied to us.
However, it is indeed dis
quieting to read in his column
that the government on For
mosa, to which we are allied
and which we largely support,
is catching $50 people a month
on the mainland, brainwashing
them, and that stubborn ones
or those who merely pretend to
fall in line are quietly disposed
Of"
From a humanitarian view
point this is damnable. From
the viewpoint of those who de-
sire peace in this atomic age,
1t Is even worse. Certainly our
peace is gravely endangered as
long as our puppet kidnaps
$50 citizens of its powerful
neighbor each month and
smuggles them out of their
own country.

THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
Republicans Must Find New Choirmon

This Senate seat has been 90.
cupied by Democratic Senator
Lehman. who did not stand
for reelection. The Republic
cans their so per cent ma
jority-26 to 17--in the New
York delegation in the House
Of Representatives. and they
increased their already strong
majorities in the State Legis-
lature. President Eisenhower
lost the city Of New York by
only 62.000-compared with
the normal Democratic mar
gins there ranging from $780,
600 to 100000
The New York Republicans
do not minimize Eisenhower's
great personal popularity. But
they insist that the tremen-
dous sweep in the recent cleo
tons by the Republicans was
the result. too. Of efilcient or
ganization work, at both State
and local levels. Chairman
Morhouse never let up for q
moment in the last two years
in his drive for efficient organ
ization. Indeed, he picked up
the New York organization,
fiat on its back after the DEM
ocrats elected Averell Harri-
man Governor in 1854 by q
margin Of II, 900 votes. Harri-
mans victory was q surprise
and due to party disruption
and lack Of organization on
the Republican side. Morhouse
set his sights for an Eisen-
hover plurality of million
votes couple Of hundred
thousand more than the Pres
ident's lead in 1852. He did
not overlook any county or any
precinct in building the party
organization. and the results
were little short Of amazing.
Other Victories Differed
The President was given
record pluralities in other
States. but there was in many
of them a difference - due
certainly In part to the Nor
house passion for organization.
In Massachusetts,. for example.
Eisenhower won by a larger
plurality than he did in 1852.
but the Democrats elected q
Governor and all other State
officers except attorney gen.
eral. Pennsylvania and Ohio
gave the President huge plu-
ralities, but both elected Dem
ocratic Senators in place Of
Republican incumbents.
Morhouse's success in New
York began with registration.
The Democratic State chair
man predicted a million-vote
dropoff as compared with 1852.
However. the registration in
New York turned out to be the
second largest in history -
about 10000 less than four
years ago. Significantly, the
upstate Republican counties
this year increased their regis
tration over 1852 by 100000.
In Democratic New York City,
registration fell of about
100000.
New York's youthful State
chairman is on the way up the
political ladder.

Contrast in Justice

26. is interesting but hardly up
to- The Stars record of accu-
racy.
The trouble is that the re-
cording of a telephone con-
versation by one of the two
participants is not overlapping,
any more than if that same
person wrote it down in short
hand, as is often the case.
Wiretapping is the interrogation
by a third person Of a private
telephone conversation with
out either Of the two partici-
pants being aware Of it or hav-
ing granted permission for
such eavesdropping. 1t is Of no

With Republican National
Chairman Leonard w. Hall
virtually certain to step out
Of his present Office in a mat
ter Of weeks or a few months
at most. the COP. will be
faced with the selection Of an
other efficient chairman. Such
chairmen as Len Hall do not
grow on trees. It will be with
great reluctance that the
White House relinquishes, Hall
as the directing and driving
force Of the party's national
organization. He. however, has
had almost four years Of hard
and unremitting work as ma
tional chairman. It is definitely
understood he would like to
move into some other govern
mental Office or into business
and it is also understood he
would prefer the former. After
the remarkable job he has
done as national chairman, he
could expect with justice all
most any Office from the Eisen-
hover administration.
Job Now Full Time
Whom to put in Halls place
as chairman is a problem of
real Importance to the Repub-
lican Party. The national
Craftsmanship has become a
full-time job all the year
around. Not only must the
chairman deal with the
delicate business of distribut-
ing "patronage"-Government
jobs-on the recommendations
of the White House and mem
bers of Congress. but he must
prepare for the next election,
beginning as soon as one cam
paign has been finished.
In the Republican Party, a
number of active and able
younger State chairmen are
developing. 1t may be that the
President, who has the final
say when it comes to the Sc
lection of a party's national
chairman, will turn to one of
them. One thing seems GER
tain. A new chairman must be
versed in politics-the prac-
teal business or organization
as learned first hand in the
field of politics. The one-time
custom of selecting as national
chairman a prominent bust
nessman, willing to devote
part Of his time to the work of
the national committee. is out.
None of the new, young
State chairmen. stepped in the
modern Republicanism" of
President Eisenhower, has
made a better record than L.
Judson Morhouse, the Ticon-

for the New York State chair
manship late in 1854, and who
was at the helm when Eisen-
hover rolled up an unprece-
dented one million and a half
