WIN s. TO N-SALEM, N. c.,
Sept. 13.-For years Baltimore
has been miffed at Washington
sports. It might have been green
eyed envy because we had the
Senators and the American
League, while they had the minor
league Orioles. We had pro foot
ball and they got such crumbs as
one or two Navy games, and pos
sibly one of Maryland's, a year.
If Baltimoreans wanted to see
big league sports they had to
come here, and you can under
stand why that wouldn't sit too
well with them.
But now Baltimore has both
big league football and baseball,
plus a brand new stadium that
makes our own look like a COW
barn, and the neighboring folks
are still miffed. They even took
swipeS at members of the Red
skins band last year, and it'll be
no surprise if they come looking
for trouble again this Sunday
when the Washington eleven
makes the first of two invasions
of the Oriole City. Baltimore
doesn't like Washington in
spades, and that's that.
In fact, Baltimore dislikes
Washington so much some u.s.
900 fans-maybe more-will pay
regular season prices to come out
and boot the Redskins, thumb
their noses at the band, and heap
insults on anybody from Wash
ington. It's a situation that
would delight psychologist.
This may be Baltimore'S year
to yell. twas only a couple of
years ago when Weeb Ewbank,
wooed away from Paul Browns

audience that he knew how to
put a Championship team to-
gether "if they'll leave me alone. .

back, the Johnson faction will
move up. The candidate it is
holding in reserve as of now
is Senator Stuart Symington
of Missouri.
This is not admitted and
there is much talk of johnson
himself. The majority leader
has been firm both in public
and private in his insistence
that his heart attack disqual-
ifies him. If anything but the
presidential virus were in
volved, this would be accepted
at face value. Experience has
taught the political trade,
however, that never is much
too long time when used in
connection with a presidential
candidacy.
Still it is expected that
johnson will go to the Chicago
convention in command of a
more or less informal coalition
of Democratic conservatives.
It will accept Stevenson if
Stevenson is out in front and

But if Stevenson doesn't
make it almost as once, it will

The rousing Southern well

Washington is the opening gun
Of determined campaign by
the Democratic center to call
the signals on the party nomi-
nee and platform at Chicago.
The Majority Leader is
well-placed to do the kind of
political operating at which he
excels. His smashing triumph
over Gov. Allan aShivers in the
Texas primary has given his
moderate forces the indispens-
able gloss of success. The party
nationally must be grateful to
him for removing the. very
real threat of a Shivers-led
third party bolt from the con-
vention.
1t now becomes more than
ever necessary for Adlai Stew
enson to win the California
primary from Senator Estes
Kefauver if the Stevenson bid
is to succeed. The former I'LL
nois Governor has been &C

best of present contenders, but
the forces for which johnson
speaks are not enthusiastically
pro-Stevenson.

will oppose Senator Kefauver
to the bitter end. no matter
how well Kefauver has done
with the public.
At this point, former Presi-
dent Truman would be the
major counter-force to the
johnson coalition. Truman
would have to decide whether
to fight to a finish for his
friend, Gov. Hartman, or to
join in the selection of a dark
horse.
And here the amazing para
dox appears. The same South
erners who found Truman as
President totally unacceptable
are saying the convention may
in the end have to draft him
as. its best campaigner. They
think they can bank on his
partly loyalty-a Truman trait
they SO often decried when it
was used in ways they didn't
like-to accept, although he
has just passed his 72nd BIRTH

Letters From Home Protesting 'GWe-Awoy
Spur Party Leaders to Take Stand

Republican congressional
leaders have informed the
White House that as much as
they would like to go ahead
with President Eisenhowcr's
request for a $40 billion for
eign aid program they will be
compelled to cut it down SUBJ
stantially.
The reason is the unexpected
large volume of mail received
from all over the country pro-
testing further indiscrlminate
give-away programs.
Some of the letters and tele-
grams register angry protests.
Others contain reasoned OBJ
jections, pointing out that
after we have spent upward
of $50 billion in less than six
years the Russians have made
alarming strides in winning
not only new followers but
also the good will of some of
our allies. Yet on the admission
of some of our best military
experts We are barely equal
to the Reds in n-conven-
tional weapons and are dealing
with a loosely knit group of
allies. many of whom after
enjoying the American bo-
nanza are now strongly leaning
toward neutralism.
There is no objection, say
the lawmakers who are receiv-
ing these messages from the
electorate, to spending money
for national defense. There
appears, however, to be an un-
easineSs in the country over
our lag in unconventional
weapons.
The more informed letter
writer's point out that the
NATO has not lived up to the
expectation of the taxpayers
in this country. Hence, they
say, there can be little use in
appropriating the large sums
asked by the administration to
provide some of our allies with
economic assistance when it is
obvious that they have become

enslaved by the Communist
dictatorship.
KEENAN, hints at an APP
basement policy also for West
Germany. He says:
1T seems to me that Ameri-
can policy should be aimed at
the reuniflcation of Germany
and the earliest possible re-
establishment of that country
as a neutral factor that can
blunt the sharp edge of mill
tary bipolarity in Europe and
help, eventually, to mitigate
the intensity of the conflict be-
tween East and West"
The SSoviets. of course, want
Germany to be neutral-that's
the price they ask for consenting
to unification. The West Ger
man leaders. however, say they
want to remain in an alliance
with the Western democracies.
To make Germany a neutral
factor" means detachment of
all of Germany from the West.
If Stevenson wants to accept
any such advice, he will find
himself losing a lot of votes
among the Americans in this
country who don't want to see
their kinsmen in Germany left
to struggle alone with the
Soviet aggression.
AS for Red China, Kennan
says he doesn't think admission
of Red China into the U. N.
should be supported by the
United States itself but that this
country. on the other hand,
should not try to obstruct Red
China's entry if the majority
of the members of the U. N.
want it. Any hint of lukewarm-
ness by America toward Ma
tionalist China will, of course,
help to bring about a majority
in the U. N. for Red China
overnight.
If that's to be the Democratic
Party's contribution to a re
vamped" foreign policy. then
the sooner the spokesman of the
party in Congress come out in
the open to be heard on the sub
ject. the more quickly will the
electorate be able to form a
Judgment on what all the re-
cent propaganda about a new
approach" in foreign policy
really has behind it.

In the meantime. there is a
very strong tendency toward a
limitation OF conventional arm
amentS and reduction of troop

that after the November cleo
ton there may be another

least on such type of limita-
tons. Tie Russians are ex-
pected to be conciliatory since
they have overwhelmingly

Strategic Air Command and
perfect intercontinental mis-
siles? 1t is becoming lncreas-
ingly clear that in the event Of
a Red aggression we may have
to bear the brunt with the as
siStance of only minor allies"
A very large number Of
Americans have been touring
Europe in the last two years.
They have not been able to
detect any hardships which
would justify further doles to
our allies. And many raise the
question with Congress whether
it is necessary to add to their
tax burdens by appropriating
billions for economic assist
ance.

common defense against COM
munism.
Under these conditions. an
increasing number of Congress
members feel that in this cleo
ton year they will have to be
cautious in appropriating for
foreign aid. The average
American appears miffed that
although we have been dis
pensing large amounts of cash
and materials since the war,
mere gestures from the Rus
SLAMS toward economic con-
tributions throw the entire
Western political machine out
of gear.
Since the end of the war
this country has spent we'll
over 500 billion on all kinds
of foreign economic assistance
from the days of UNRRA when
we helped all war-ravaged
countries to the present ICA
which is a combination of the
old Marshall Plan and military
assistance.
Despite this lavish expendi-
ture it appears that outside of
a few peripheric countries
such as Korea. Nationalist
China and Turkey. most of the
members of the political-mili-
tary coalition established in
l949 to form a defense wall
against Soviet aggression have
been derelict in their military
preparedness.
The fact that the USSR has
decided for tactical reasons to
adopt a smiling attitude has
not diminished the threat of
aggression. Yet the majority
of our allies in Europe are
on a disarmament hinge.
The French have withdrawn
their only battle-trained forces
from the NATO and sent them
to fight the guerrillas in Al
geria without calling other
men to the colors. The British

Berman. Deputy Prime Min

Although he operated in the
background. behind the facade
of ministers with more OBJ

Polish people called him 1.-THE

nized him as "the Kremlin's

DAVID LAWRENCE

The Democratic Party is
split wide open on the main
issue Of the day-what should
be done in world policy by the
United States.
Senator Humphrey of Min.
nesota, Democrat-high up in
Stevenson's camp-complainS
that the Eisenhower admins
tration is still pursuing "the
same old approach" of placing
primary emphasis on military
aid abroad.
Senator Symington of Mis-
souri,, Democrats potential
candidate for the presidency
on his own-complains that
the Eisenhower administration
isn't providing adequate arma-
ment, and he is endeavoring
to show that enough money
isn't being spent on air power.
One wing of the Democratic
Party-which might be called
the group favoring "give-
away of money without
strings" - insists that the
United States isn't revamping
its foreign-aid program to
meet the Soviet economic
threat"
Another group-which by
some will be called the mill
taristic group-wants more
emphasis on military power
as a deterrent" and argues
the United States is being out
stripped in the building of
long-range bombers that carry
H-bombS.
Still a third point of view
appears to be held by intimate
advisers of Adlai Stevenson.
This is the "appeasement"
group. which would acquiesce
in the admission of Red China
to the U.N. and also would
abandon to their fate the OPP
pressed peoples in the satel-
lite countries behind the Iron
Curtain.
The principal architects of
the latter policy apparently are
relying on the advice of George

to Soviet Russia, who was head

Kennan had his picture in the

as one of a group of advisers
behind the Stevenson cam

same issue was a dispatch by
James Reston, who reported
KEENAN, is privately circulating
a paper on foreign policy with
many provocative statements
in it. On the subject of the
Soviet satellites, KEENAN, is
represented as saying that,
while he condemns the "hide-
Gus injustices" committed by
the Soviet Union in Eastern
Europe. there is a f1nality, for
better or for worse. about what
has occurred in Eastern
Europe"
This is exactly what the
refugees from the Iron Curtain
countries have feared most
namely, that makers of Ameri-
can foreign policy might be
prevailed upon to accept the
status quo" in Eastern Europe.
KEENAN, is reported, moreover,
to hold the view that it is no
service to the satellites to en-
courage them to believe that
they can return and pick up
where they left of 10 or 20
years ago.
Such an attitude would be
regarded as manifest aban-
donment of the moral support
hitherto given by the United
States to the peoples of the
Iron Curtain countries which
aspire to regain their indie
pendence. Politically speak
