Gloomy Sunday

Your recent editorial,
Gloomy Sunday" was indeed
a reminder of the ominous
overtones of war.
England and France are
permanent members Of the
United Nations and pillars Of
that organization. for peace.
They resorted to force to re-
gain control Of the Suez Canal
from Egypt. This aggressive
act stunned the whole free
thinking world.
Hungary. a country long
under Communist oppression.
had fought valiantly, gloriously
and hopelessly for its free
dom. This freedom enjoyed
for a few fieeting hours, was
snuffed out ruthlessly by the
Soviets. The return of the
Soviets to Hungary can be
blamed much on England and
Francois Russia saw in their
act an excuse for her OPP
preston Of smaller countries.
Their act thus prolonged the
time for other depressed
satellite countries to gain their
independence. TIL cir act
caused further hatred in the
Middle East-diStrust among
smaller countries in the world
and further acts of aggression
by the Soviets. This act Of
England and France has put
a strain on their relations with
the United States.
Through this gloom has
emerged the United Nations
to condemn these acts of ag-
gression-the order to cease
firing, to organize a United
Nations police force to patrol
the troubled areas of the Suez
Canal. This last measure puts
action into words and makes
for the survival of the or
ganization. So it seems as
though a little light pierces the
gloom.

How much courtesy should
be expended in the everyday

Some people have the idea
that to speak to someone once
is enough.

GomuIko and Poland


mist regime in Warsaw, Premier Wlad-
ySlaw Gomulka seems very definitely to
merit the sympathy and understanding
OF the free world. He must cope with
two tremendous pressureS. On the one
hand Soviet armies are reported to
be massed ominously along the eastern
border of Poland. On the other, the
overwhelmingly Catholic Polish people
whose sentiments have always been anti
Russian as well as anti German-are said
to be explosively FESTIVE, the more so
because of the Kremlin's terrible course
in Hungary
In these circumstances, Mr.. Gomulka
and his independence minded govern
ment must deal with situation that is
difficult and delicate in the extreme
They have already gone pretty far with
their "Titoism" Among other things,
they have continued to dismiss key Rus
sian officers from the Polish army, and
they have permitted open condemnation
OF MoScowS repression of the Hungarians.
Further, they have taken, or promised
to take, additional measures designed to
associate themselves as much as possible
from all Soviet policy which in the past
has reduced their country to a role of
complete subservience and puppetry
The Gomulka regime has been doing
this in response to inSistent demands
from the Polish masses. They are angry
masses. With good reason, they feel
that they have been cruelty exploited
like Serfs-by the alien Soviet tyranny.
Economically, politically and socially,
they know that the Russians have done
them great wrong for over decade
past, and they have been showing an
ever-increasing fervor-aS in the Poznan
uprising in June-to do something in
an effort to right that wrong. More than
that, as sensitive and bravely volatile
people, their feelings against the Krem-
lin apparently have been further in
famed by the dreadful happenings in
Hungary.
Yet, while he must seek to satisfy
outraged public opinion in his own coun-
try, Mr.. Gomulka must also reckon with
the Soviet armed power that has been
moved up to eastern Poland. This force,
coupled with the extra Russian divisions
Germany, adds up to pressure of the
most formidable sort. What it seems to
amount to, in fact, is ot-too-subtle
warning that If Warsaw tries to get too
independent, >or If the Polish people do
not calm down, the Kremlin may unleash
the same kind of repression that has
converted tragic Hungary into broken
and bleeding nation.
Accordingly, caught between these
two pressures-the pressure of Soviet
military power and the pressure of ex-
IRENE domestic discomfort and restive-
neSs-Mr. Gomulka faces the hard task
of attempting to keep everything in
enough balance to avert an explosion
that could bring the Hungarian night
mare to Poland. So it must be hoped
that the Polish people, If only for their
own sake, will hold themselves in check
and be satisfied with regaining a little
freedom at time, small step by small
step, instead of trying prematurely to
get all Of it back at once.

The American people went
to the polls a week ago and by
a wide margin reelected Re-
publican President Dwight D.
Eisenhower and by a narrow
margin returned a new DEM
ocratic Congress. The voting
trends, as revealed by a survey
of the results throughout the
Nation, are particularly inter-
esting. They may also have
some bearing on the outcome
of the 1858 congressional cleo
tions, the next big contest for
the two major political parties.
Eisenhower gained tremen-
dously in total popular vote
over Adlai Stevenson, his Dem
ocratic opponent. as compared
with his victory over Stevenson
in 1852. With the total vote
still uncompleted, the Presi-
dent has received "a, $50, 946,
to 25,427,36 for Stevenson, a
lead of 9,323.585 votes. The
total vote tabulated so far is
SO, 188, 307-with 3.433 pre-
cincts out Of 154,869 still to be
accounted for. -Four years ago,
the Eisenhower vote stood at
33.937, 252 to 27.3l4,992 for
Stevenson--a lead for Eisen-
hover of 1922, $50 in a total
of 61,252,244 votes. When
all the votes are reported, it is
expected the total vote will
approximate that of 1852, and
that Eisenhower's margin Of
victory will be about 10 mil
lion votes.
One State Switched
In the electoral vote, Eisen-
hover cut Stevenson down to
IA from the SO total he had in
1852, taking from Stevenson
the electoral votes of Ken
lucky, West Virginia, and
Louisiana. Stevenson. for his
part, carried one State which
had gone for Eisenhower four
wears ago-MiSSouri.
President Eisenhower's great
gains in the popular vote were
registered in the East, in the
Midwest and in the Southern
and border States. He fell of
in popular vote in the part of
the country west of the Mis-
sissippi River. The one State
he carried in 1852 but lost in
1856 - Missouri - lies in that
area.
The hoped-for revolt of the
farmersz-hoped by the Demo-
crats-did materialize in the
agricultural States of the
West, but not to a degree to
cause the President to lose
these States--except Missouri.
Take a look at what hap
pened, for example, in Cali
fornia. Four years ago Eisen-
hower's lead over Stevenson
there was 100000 and this
year it was down to $4,000
a loss of 10000.
Again. in Iowa. where in
1852 Eisenhower had a mar
gin Of $4,000 votes, this time
his lead was $4,000, or a loss
of $4,000. Even in Kansas,
