WASHINGTON R-The United

on the ground, at sea-which will
reach around almost half the
globe.
The Distant Early Warning line

polar rim of the North American
continent is only component of
the vast system intended ultimate
ly to give warning to this country

later missiles approaching from
almost any point of the compass.

competition and to prevent monopoies; that the gov
eminent should provide those services which the people
cannot do for themselves. That the test used in
examining the various government agencies.
Going on, Mr. Hoover said that 5000 cases were
found in which the government conducts business
operations in direct competition with private citizens.
Most of these enterprises born in emergency Of
war But when their job was done and the emergency
ended they didn't close up shop AS he put it, they

Full Impact of Democratic Switch
On Aid May Be Jolt to Eisenhower

President Eisenhower has
launched a fight against in
fluential Democrats in Con-
gress on the foreign aid issue
which will bring home to him
some of the facts of election
year politics.
1t is possible that the Presi-
dent who was shut off from
so much news during his i'll
ness does not realize the ex-
tent to which the opposition
party has been switching sides
on foreign-aid OUTLAWS. Up to
the time Of his attack he had
been able to count on more
fervent Democratic support in
foreign policy than Republican.
This was especially true of
Chairman George of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Com

called the signals for the
Eisenhower plays.
But when the President went

and continues to raise a hue
and cry against spending
American tax money on for

appeal in the rural counties.
In the other AZ States the
majestic George could counter
the Talmadge demagogy with
his pulling power in the more
sophisticated cities. But the

How Neutral Are the 'NeutroIs'?

there will be no hard feelings
but they cannot expect Ameri-
can funds.
The policy of requiring some
commitment from the nations
receiving American aid has
been debated for 10 years. Up
to now. it has been assumed
that the nations helped would
be on our side anyway. But
experience has proved that
American defenses abroad have
been imperiled by the success
full penetration of allied coun-
tries by Communists.
Thus, it isn't pleasant for
Americans to read that the
Communist Party. which is
under the control Of the So
Wet governments agents in
France. is allowed to partic-
ipate in the French Parlia-
ment and that it was per-
mitted to vote in the elections
on the theory that 1t is just
like any other loyal party in
politics. In Italy, too. Commu-
nists are given voting privi-
leges. though everybody knows
they are under Moscow's con-
troll.
How long will American tax
payers be willing to send funds
to France and Italy while the
Communists are given free
rein and il both cases are on
the threshold of either form
ing a government or exacting
privileges in the cabinet in
exchange for their voting
strength? This is the issue
which many members of Con-

to talk about, especially 'since

Virginia is the first State to
undertake what can hardly
be called a noble expert
ment,' as Herbert Hoover
once spoke of the prohibition
amendment. This "interposi-

State "interposing" to refuse
to do something decreed by
the National Government, is
spreading to other States in
the old Confederacy. 1t would
seem to be nothing but multi
fication which everybody pre-
sumed had ended in Virginia
in 1865 at Appomattox Court
house.
But defiance of the Su-
preme Court is not confined
to people, like the Southerners
in this case.
1t shows itself in powerful
economic interests which don't
like Supreme Court decisions
sometimes and which have
been able twice in the last few
years to get Congress, our law
makers, to undo Supreme
Court decisions. A third such
attempt is being made right
now to get Congress to nullify
a Supreme Court decision.
This is the decision in 1858
holding that the Federal Power
Commission is required to reg
ulate producers of natural gas
under the 1888 Natural Gas
Act in order to protect the
public. In a few days the Sen
ate will take up a bill to exempt
such producers from FPC reg

hower's intentions within the

Those close to the Republic
can picture, who do not believe
in wishful thinking, think that
a favorable verdict of the
Presidents physicians will play
a lesser role in his decision
than his own feeling as to
whether he can cope with what
must be a strenuous campaign.
These sources say that the
assurances given the Chief Ex-
ecutive by his advisers in the
White House and some con-
gressional leaders that in the
forthcoming electoral battle he
will not be required to Swing"
as in 1852. are sadly mistaken
and Mr.. Eisenhower knows it.
Statistics are not always de-
ceiving. In his last campaign
Mr.. Eisenhower obtained 49,

314,992 garnered by Adlai
Stevenson. But it is pointed
out that in 1852 the Demo-
cratic Party, which had been
in Office for 20 years, had
reached its lowest ebb. The
American electorate was fed
up with years of war; the Re-
publican campaign over the
betrayals at Yalta and Pots
dam was successful; the public
was irked over the failure to
win the Korean War and
placed this responsibility on
the threshold of the Demo-
Gratis. The abrupt dismissal Of
Gen. Douglas Macarthur: the

and the Communist in Gov

investigations. had gradually
made a real dent on the
electorate.
Thus when the Republicans,

forcefully of these factors which
had brought American pres
tige and anti-CommuniSt de-
tense to a low-water mark the
voters, tired of a long and con-
