Also, some unions are publish

And some cash campaign con-

Union members are also urged
to discuss the issues with their

stress the accomplishments OF
legislators friendly to Federal
workers.
Some Federal employe leaders
are travelling to congressional
districts with hotly contested
races to lend their behind-the-
scenes support to candidates.
One Federal employee leader
summed it UP this way: THE
fact that Federal employees can
not strike means that their prin-
cipal source Of strength is their
vote. Our union is non-partisan
But bipartisan does not mean
that we do not want to distin-
guish between our friends and
the opposition in Congress. It
means only that we do not con-

the death and downgrading of
Russian premier Joseph Stain.
In the United States, many high

Against this background, the
United States Communist lead

Nobody, least of all man, can

Among the highest in personality
adjustment was Helen, a healthy,
active girl who was popular with men
and women. In Helen the difference
between real and wiShful dimensions
was less than in The Body" even
though her figure was far from the
popular ideal. Her ideal was simply
to get the most satisfaction out Of
what nature had given her. "As long
as can have babies. play tennis and

If woman is dissatisfied with her
body, there are only two things she
can change = her real figure or her
ideal figure. Our experiments made It
obvious that the latter is long over

The far right and the far
left in Germany. unable TO
make Roadway separately,
have combined forces in q
campaign to undermine the
Bonn Republic and her al
lance with the West.
Although the manifesto
tions are different. 1t Is much
the same situation as con-
fronts France after last weeks
elections, which cast stubborn
fascistic and disruptive Com
munist elements In the role OF
strange bedfellows.
In Germany, it is the Nazis.
other rabid' nationalist and
the Communists. who already
have chosen the same sleep
ing accommodations.
The German Communist
Party Is utterly discredited in
Western Germany. Out Of 40
million people there are esti-
mated to be only about 50.-
900 to 10000 members, not
enough to elect o single rep
resentative in Parliament.
They are directed by white
haired Max Reiman from q
headquarters In the East
Zone, where he fed in 1854
after being charged with plot
ting against the Bonn govern
ment.
The visible activities of the
Communists are today reduced
to distributing pamphlets
among factory workers. in
structing them on strike actions
and extolling the workingman's
paradise east Of the Elbe. But
somehow the straight Marxist
line seems not to go over very
well with busy, prosperous
Germans. many Of whom har-
Dor painful memories Of direct
contact with Soviet troops.
Nazis and ultra Nationalist
likewise have not been able to
gather q large following. They
led an obscure and unsatisfac-
tory existence until q few years
ago when some of them sud-
denly blossomed out as editors
Of new periodicals or as found
ers Of strange organizations.
Almost invariably financial
help was suspected of having
come from behind the Iron
Curtain. and in many cases the
suspicious were verified.
Such aid from the COMM
form-or the Kremlin directly
lis not new to.the Communist

in the United States this is
not unknown. Only a few

which cuts across class bar
riers. There was and is, Of
course. the hatred Of the
Marxist-Leninist variety Of
socialism. but even stronger is
the hatred against Western
thinking. against liberalism
and capitalism.
Historical Russiop
The ultra-Nationalists, al
though conservative and enc
mics Of all forms Of socialism,
feel that Germany belongs geo.
politically to the East, regard
less Of inner political changes.
They point to an old pro-
Russian tradition In German
history, reaching back to 1912,
when Prussia signed q pact Of
neutrality with Russia at Tau
roggen and turned her back
on Napoleon, O tradition re-
vived by Bismarck and again
by Seekt. whose Nationalist
aviators were trained In Com
munist Russia.
The Soviets on their side
use the Nazis and uitra-na-
tionalists cold-bloodedly a. Q
vanguard In their campaign TO
detach Germany from the
West. AS always. they are
playing two games at once.
They encourage and help the
local Communist party as q
revolutionary bridgehead, ef.
fective possibly in times Of eco
nomic depression.
But since a Communist UP.
rising In West Germany seems
not very likely soon, they also
pursue the course Of diplo-
macy. Inviting Chancellor
Adenauer to Moscow, sending
an ambassador to Bonn, re-
leasing such ex-Nazis as Otto
Strasser. Otto Wagner or Field
Marshal Ferdinand Schooner;
supporting trouble making
elements, arousing resentment
against America, France and
Britain-these are all part Of
the same strategy.
That Is why obscure publi-
cations like the Rheinisch
Westfaeltsche Nacrtchten
bear careful watching. Their
appeal at the moment is linn
tied. but strategically their at
tack is cleverly aimed. Given
a change in the political eli
mate. they might become quite
effective.

Which 5 Senators
Were the Greatest?

This writer's study OF SEN

that goth century politics has
produced few. II any. lawmak-
ers. who could stack UP against
their stalwart predecessors Of
what some like to call the old

But getting down to cases.
or rather to "flyes," and taking

few suggestions that may be

only three Of these-James
Monroe. John Quincy Adams
and Andrew Jackson-could
possibly qualify for the great

the record here are the others:
