Policy Of Appeusing South From 1926
Argued as Costing Party Six Senators
DORIS FLEEsoN

Northern Democrats are con-
vinced today that they lost at
least six Senators through the
party's policy Of appeasing the
South between the years 1852
and 1856.
That policy was insisted
upon BY the Texas leadership
in Congress Speaker Rayburn
and Senator Lyndon johnson.
They prevailed with Adlai
Stevenson, with National
Chairman Paul Butler and
with Buffers predecessor,
Stephen Mitchell. who took
over in 1852 at Stevenson's
request.
The Northerners bitterly
point out that not only did
they lose badly wanted Sem
ators but that Stevenson
pronted hardly at all. The
Southern leaders who had de-
manded compromise solutions
on civil rights failed to deliver
on the presidency in five
Southern States-Texas, Vir-
ginia, Florida, Louisiana and
Tennessee.
In addition, the border
States Of Kentucky and West
Virginia went to President
Eisenhower.
The Northern case rests on
demonstrably reduced Demo-
cratic pluralities in the big
cities Of the North and in less
populous but key urban areas
in the Midwest. in the border
States, in California and In the
South itself. The final figures
are not on hand, but early
studies show that these for
mer Democratic bastions fell
decisively to the President with
fatal results for Stevenson and
some senatorial candidates.

Ending Of Israeli Influence Over U. S.

For many who were waver-

The broad thesis that eco
nomic factors. when favorable,
help the party in power and
that emotional issues have to
be very strong to overcome UNI
favorable economic conditions
in particular areas, was strik-
ingly confirmed in this weeks
presidential and congressional
elections.
An examination Of the cleo
ton returns shows that sharp
declines in the Presidents vote
from 1852 figures occurred in
almost all Of the States west
of the Mississippi River. but in
these same farm States the
Democrats in Congress held
their gains Of 1854, whereas
in the Eastern States some Of
the seats won by the Demo-
Gratis in the recession Of 1854
we're recovered by the Repub-
licans last Tuesday because
Of the improvement in eco
nomic conditions in certain
districts. This happened, for
instance. in Connecticut. New
Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The Democrats in the farm
States, however, not only held
their congressional seats but
won additional seats, and in
some instances elected new
Governors and State tickets.
President Eisenhower himself
failed this time to carry some
Of the congressional districts
in the farm States where he
and Republican candidates
previously had won.
It would have taken a switch
Of fewer than is seats out Of
435 to have given the Repub-
licans control of the House of
Representatives. The declining
farm prices in the West and
the effects of unemployment
in certain small areas in the
East really prevented a Re-
publican majority.
Unfortunately for the Re-
publican Congressman and
Senators, they were unable to
dramatize the big emotional
issue Of the campaign-peace
and the international crisis
in relation to themselves.

ticipating in decisions affect
ing international peace. They
do think nationally about a
President, and they decided
against change in the White
House, just as in 1916, 1910
and 1944-during both world
wars.
As for some senatorial con-
tests, personalities played a big
part. Thus In Pennsylvania.
Joseph Clark, former Demo-
cratic Mayor Of Philadelphia,
was a popular figure. whereas
Senator Duff had borne the
brunt Of the resentments due
to recent unemployment in
certain sections Of the State.
SO far as his Republicanism
is concerned, Dun has been a
staunch supporter Of President
Eisenhower throughout.
What Is surprising about
Pennsylvapia--and in q sense
it's an indication Of the lack
Of knowledge Of the voters
about the overriding impor.
lance Of congressional elections
was the fact that more than
$4,000 persons who went to the
polls to vote for the presiden-
tial candidates did not mark q
ballot for either senatorial
candidate. Eisenhower in
creased his majority heavily
over 1852. but Duff lost by
about $4,000 votes. If only 56.5
percent Of these $4,000 persons
-or the percentage that voted
for Eisenhower in the State
had voted for Duff. he would
have won easily, and the
United States Senate would
have been in control Of the
Republicans next January.
Turning to Ohio. where Gov.
Lausche beat Senator Bender,
tits obvious that personal pop
ularity and independence Of
view brought the victory for
this Democrat, who has carried
his State so many times by
big majorities. Lausche is an
avowed supporter of President
Eisenhower on many issues
and undoubtedly owes his cleo
ton as Senator this week to
the support Of many Taft Re-
publicans in Ohio. Indeed, he
confessed in 1850 that he voted
for Taft.

LAW IN THE NEWS

The recent explosion in a
Long Island, N. Y, atomic re-
search laboratory may have
much significance in determin-
ing how rapidly private indus
try goes ahead with the develop
ment of atomic energy.
A few days ago nine employees
of Sylvania Electric Products,
Inc, of Bayside, Queens, were
injured when some thorium
scrap. a mildly radioactive
metal. ignited and blasted a 20
foot hole in the laboratory
floor. -Four employees were hurt
critically.
Spokesman for the Atomic
Energy Commission described
the explosion as non-nuclear
and said that cleanup" opera
tons were carried out without
danger to plant personnel or the
community.
The Importance of the affair
to private industry lies in the
possibility that it might develop
some new law on the question
of how far atomic operators will
be held liable for the safety of
persons and property in the
vicinity of their plants.
The trend of the law today
in cases where dangerous activi-
ties are concerned is to hold the
operator liable regardless of
fault. There is a good chance

liability" will be applied in the
case of atomic plant operators.
But there is a question Of a
practical nature which has
businessmen and insurance COM
panies carefully watching any
atomic damage case which may
arise.
That question is directed to-
ward the extent of damage. It
is whether. in view of the posi-
BILE magnitude of atomic plant
disasters, it will be economically
feasible to apply rules of abb
solute liability. Might not such
rules place operators and in
surance men on shaky financial
ground?
Suppose a "burn-up" should
occur? This is described as a
nuclear reactor, or atomic en-
CINE, that gets out Of hand and
permits the spread Of uncon-
trolled radiation. 1t did happen
at Chalk River, Ontario, in 1852,
and the radioactive mess that
followed has been likened to the
10th century version Of the
Augean Stables. In any case
of this kind. damage could be
extreme.
Can existing law be followed
without putting a lot of folks out
of business? We don't know
lyet, but the Long Island case,
relatively mild as it is, may pro-
vide a clue.
