Critical Area

I dare say that James o.
Waters, who complains that
Dorothy Thompson's writings
on the Middle (more properly,
Near) East are on subjects
mot within her province" and
indicating that she should
mot stray into totally unfa-
miliar territory" is far less
qualified to criticize Miss
Thompson than she is unqual-
flied to write on the subject.
Anyone who has spent any
length of time in the past few
years in the Near East would
be we'll aware of the fact that
Miss Thompson has made fire.
quent and lengthy trips there
for purposes of on-the-spot
study. She is also one of the
leading members of the
American Friends of the Mid
die East" whose publications
would no doubt interest many
myopic Americans.
AS for myself, I can honestly
say that / have never met any
American or European who
has spent at least year or
more in the Near East on both
sides of the Arab-Israeli bor-
der who has not come to the
frequently reluctant, but al
ways eye-opening, conclusion
that justice, fair play and the
ultimate interests of peace and
stability in the Near East lie
overwhelmingly with the Arab
cause. I use the term "eye-
opening" because 1t is prac-
tically impossible to obtain a
true picture of the state Of
affairs in that troubled part
of the world merely by reading
the Western press or listening
to the Western radio. The
knowledge one gains by living
and working there is truly eye
opening.
I speak with some author
ity, having only recently re-
turned to the States after hav-
ing spent over four years in
all of the Near Eastern coun-
tries, Israel included. working
on the Arab refugee relief
problem.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Taft Republicans Cheering Eisenhower
By GOULD LINCOLN

Loose talk to the effect that
Taft Republicans" will stay
at home or even vote against
President Eisenhower next No
vember is floating about. 1t is
not noticeable, however, that
any of the Republicans who
formerly supported Senator
Taft of Ohio and are now
running for office, either con-
gressional or State, are she'd
ding tears because Mr.. Eisen-
hover announced he would run
for a second term in the
White House.
On the contrary, like all
other Republicans, they are
cheering. and have hope where
many would have been pessi-
mistic if the President had
said NO"
If Senator Taft were alive
today he would be Republican
leader of the Senate and he
would be seeking reelection.
1t is clearly evident to his old
friends that he also would be
in the forefront of the cam
paign to bring about the re-
election of President Eisen-
hover.
Learned Ropes Quickly
1t is no secret that in the
months following President
Eisenhower's inau ura tion
January 20, 1858, the President
and Senator Taft became close
and warm friends, with respect
and affection on both sides.
The Senator was an old hand
at both politics and the legis-
lative process. He told one
of his intimates he had never
seen a man who learned about
both politics and legislation
more quickly than did Presi-
dent ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as
a novice when he became Chief
Executive.
At the time Mr.. Eisenhower
entered the White House, and
for weeks before, there were
predictions that Senator Taft
would blow a gasket over Eli
senhower proposals before long,
and the Republican fat would
be in the fire. Nothing like
that happened. Mr.. Taft be-
came the administration lead
er in the Senate. He took up
the Presidents program and
worked for it. He became, in
fact, a strong right arm OF
the President on Capitol Hill.
His unexpected and Distress
ing death was a severe blow
to the Eisenhower administra-
ton.
Those who speak now of
being Taft Republicans" and
opposed to Eisenhower and his
program as too New Dealish"
forgot that Senator Taft ia
vored a public housing pro-
gram, and a program of Fed
eral aid to education. They
forget, or never knew, that he
was more progressive by far
than the mossbacked conserv-
alive he was pictured by his
enemies. But these anti
Eisenhower Republicans, after

Call That Proqress?

The hearings before a House
subcommittee on the 1857 Dis
trict supply bill produced some
especially naive and interest
ing remarks attributed to
Representative Wilson Of In
diana.
This Representative recalled
that the Federal payment in
support of the District some
years ago chow many years
was not reported) was about
$40 million. The recent yearly
Federal payments have been
approximately double that
amount, and in view thereof
it was stated, I'VE have made
some progress" and Lets not
try to progress too rapidly"
On the surface this approx
imately 100 per cent increase
in the Federal payment over
an unreported number of years
indicates a remarkable benev-
olent and philanthropic atti-
tude on the part of the Con-
gress. which represents all
citizens of the Nation, but the
members of Congress were
elected by all except the resi-
dents of the District.
However, such comments
and facts fail completely to
present the true picture rela-
tive to the alleged progress"
The dollar devaluation over
the years and the increased
amount of District land occu-
pied by the Federal Govern
ment and additional services
required to be furnished by
the District as a result there
of, are some of the factors not
considered in evaluating the
alleged progress"
Representative Wilson ap-
parently has forgotten or over
looked the fact that a fair
basis for the Federal payment
should be percentage-wise and
that prior Congresses deemed
the ratio to be 60-40. The Dis
trict budget for 1856 was about
$l73 million, Of which the
Federal payment was $18 mil
lion. 1t is thus seen that with
the alleged progress" the Fed
eral payment has now re-
crossed to about 10 per cent,
a far cry from the fair 60-40
ratio.
If this be progress" please
Mr.. congressman, benevolently
consider us, the difranchised
residents of the District, and
do not let us progress too
rapidly" to the poor house or
compel us to find sanctuary
in less progressive adjoining
areas.

Looks at High Bench

In the recent letter OF John
c. Webb. defending his mega
tive vote in the Virginia House
of Delegates on the interposi-
ton resolution, I was intrigued
by the sentence: 1.-THE attor-
ney general (of Virginia) also
stated that the Supreme
Courts decision remains bind
ing by virtue Of superior
force" In other words. this
Supreme Court law is. binding
upon the States by reason Of
the superior military might Of
the United States and not be-
cause it is legally defensible.
Perhaps this is also the rea-
son why the court did not hes
itate to give its approval to the
unconstitutional New Deal
laws which have been placed
on the statute books since
1888.
The real superior force"
is the Constitution of the
United States, which is bind
ing upon the Supreme Court
as we'll as the States. When
the court overruled las years
of precedents and held that
separate schools for the races
was illegal, it made the Fed
eral Government coadmin-
istrator of the school sys-
TENS of the States, a function
clearly reserved to the States
alone under the Tenth Amend
ment. No Interpretation of the
Fourteenth Amendment, how
ever tortured, can alter this
basic fact.
If and when it becomes set
tied policy to rely upon the
superior military force of the
Federal Government, instead
of constitutional validity, to
exact obedience to the DEGREES
Of the Supreme Court. we shall
have taken the final step to
crown the Communist revolu-
ton with success and consti-
tutional government in this
country will be at an end.

all, are few and far between.
And if Mr.. Taft were alive
they could not, with justice,
label themselves Taft Repub-
licans."
There is no Justification for
the assertion that Mr.. Eisen-
hover is a New Dealer.
His philosophy of government
looks to the initiative Of the
individual. of the locality and
the State. rather than to leav-
ing to the Federal Government
the control of a myriad Of
activities of the ordinary citi-
zen. Under the New Deal
Fair Deal administrations, big
government became bigger and
bigger and the bureaucrats
in Washington increased in
number and in power.
An effort to start a splinter
party now by the ''For Amer
lea" group, some Of whom like
to think of themselves as
Taft Republicans" in all
probability will get nowhere
except in the anti Eisenhower
columns. If it did, its only eff
feet would be to return the
Government to the control of
the New Dealers and Fair
Dealers, which Mr.. Taft and
Mr.. Eisenhower have predicted
would push the country far
ther on a road to socialism.
KnowIand's Position
Senator Knowland of Cali
fornia, chosen by Senator Taft
when the latter became i'll to
act as Republican leader of the
Senate, can be regarded only
as Taft Republican"-and
he is for Eisenhower. Senator
Knowland does not himself
have to run for reelection
this year, but if he did he
would find that Mr.. Eisenhow-
er's candidacy for a second
term, at the head Of the
G.. o. P. ticket, was helpful
just as Republican Senators
who frequently lined up with
Senator Taft in the past and
are running for reelection
now are finding it.
Senator Taft had no more
ardent supporter than Senator
George Bender of Ohio, for
example. and Senator Bender
is delighted Mr.. Eisenhower is
running. So are Senators Ben
nett of Utah, Butler of Mary
land, Dirksen of Illinois, Cape
hart of Indiana, Millikin Of
Colorado, Welker of Idaho and
Young of North Dakota,
Senator Knowland's sugges-
ton that Taft Republicans"
should be given more recogni-
ton and more voice in the
coming campaign was inter-
preted in some quarters as a
rift in the G. o. P. 1t is in
credible, however, that the Re-
publican campaign leaders will
not make use to the full Of the
energy and political wisdom
of the Taft Republicans. The
campaign necessarily must be
conducted with Mr.. Eisen-
hover and his record and his
program as the major issues.

Goes to the Source
Observer.

The letter of Brig. H. Mus
tafa, armed forces attache,
Embassy of Iraq, appearing in
The Star of March 2, savors
entirely of propaganda out OF
a twisted context.
I have one of the books OF
reference from which Brig.
Mustafa quotes. A check OF
Menachem Begins book, "The
Revolt" bears out the immoral
twisting of a situation by the
armed forces attache of the
Embassy of Iraq.
This is how Brig. Mustafa
presented matters in his letter:
". I would like to refer to
another evidence presented by
no less than the author of the
DER Yessin massacre, namely
Menachin Begin, leader of the
Irgun terrorists, a countryman
of Mr.. Orgel, who is now a
member of the Knesset, Is
rael's Parliament. Mr.. Begin
says in his book, The Revolt
Story of the Irgun': Jewish
forces proceeded to advance
through Haifa like a knife
through butter. The Arabs be-
gan fleeing in panic, shouting,
DER Yessin. In a footnote
to this account, Begin adds:
Arabs throughout the coun-
try, prompted by acts of Irgun,
were seized with limitless panic
and started to flee for their
lives :"
This is the footnote as it
actually appears on page 1874
of the referred-to book:
To counterfeit the loss of
DER Yessin, a village of stra-
tegic Importance, Arab head
quarters at Ramallah broad
cast a crude atrocity story, al
leging a massacre by Irgun
troops of women and children
in the village. Certain Jewish
officials, fearing the Irgun men
as political rivals, seized upon
this Arab greuel propaganda
to smear the Irgun. An emf
nent rabbi was induced to
reprimand the Irgun before he
had had time to sift the truth.
Out of evil, however, good
came. This Arab propaganda
spread a legend of terror
mongst Arabs and Arab
troops, who we're seized with
panic at the mention of Irgun
soldiers. The legend was worth
half a dozen battalions to the
forces of Israel. The DER Yes
sin Massacre lie is still propa-
gated by Jew-haters all over
the world"

all of the Dutch bulbs, SO

They come from Holland,
where cold winds sweep. They

To live there, one must be,

They were all sturdy folk, red
