issue at this weeks press con-
ference by continuing to talk
about it. Obviously, the re-
porters will bait him on the
health question if he affords
them the least opportunity.
Whatever definitive effect the
President may have created by

wide headlines telling of his
feeling of doubt and INSURE
ness concerning his future
health as reflected in answers
to questions at the press con-
ference
The President does not seem
to have learned how to avoid
answering embarrassing ques.
tions at press conferences. He
often plays into the hands of
his political opponents. A few
more press conferences like
the one this week and Chair
man Butler of the Democratic
National Committee will not
need to discuss the health is
sue at all.
Mr.. Eisenhower's move should
have been to keep silent about
such a personal question, leav-
ing it to the day-by-day dis
patches to reveal whether he
is able to do his job. Time is
a great healer and. in the
many months elapsing before
the November election, an i'm
preston of normal handling of
the presidential job could have
been created by the news dis
patches telling OF his activi-
ties. If Mr.. Eisenhower, on
the other hand. Is going to put
the matter into the headlines
each week with doubts and
misgivings of his own, the
American people will begin to
believe the Democratic Party's
whispers and its gloomy argu-
mentS about the health issue.
From a sure thing-based
on a united party and inten-
sive organization activity-the
race now has shifted to one Of
grave doubt AS of today, the
chances of reelection for Pres
ident Eisenhower are probably
only $3.50, which is not too
comfortable an outlook, espe-
cially with the many adverse
breaks in politics that can
come in the field of economic
and international affairs be-
tween now and November.

Electric Strike

The Westinghouse Electric

parently all uncertain of what
peace move to try next.
Company negotiators returned
to Pittsburgh last night, saying
they had no plans now for fur

A Government-proposed peace
plan submitted last Saturday

ton by the company Tuesday,
but the union, refusing an out
right yes or no reply, said it
wanted somewhat better terms.
The company called that a re-
lection.
Officials Of the Federal Medi-

From the Palestinian war

Senate Inquiries Point to Amazing
Sweep of Soviet Espionage Here
CONSTANTINE BROWN

Two parallel investigations
by Senate committees have
been going on for several
weeks. They both point to
the same thing: How the
American people are being de-
ceived and fieeced by the Com
munists.
One investigation is that of
the Internal Security Commit
tee. headed by Senator James
Eastland; the other is by the
Committee on Government
Operations. with Senator John
Mcclellan as chairman. Be-
cause of the wealth of domes-
tic and international news
neither of these inquiries is
attracting the attention it de-
serves.
The Eastland committee set
out to prove that Soviet es-
pionage and subversive agents,
assisted by Communist sabo-
teurs, have never been COM
pletely checked in this coun-
try despite the efforts of the
FBI and other security agen-
cieS. The committee has
paraded before the public a
number of individuals deeply
involved in this scheme of
weakening the internal de-
Tense Of the United States.
The witnesses (some friendly
and others taking refuge be-
hind the Fifth Amendment
ranged from newspapermen
who had once belonged to the
Soviet subversive brigades to
actual NKVD officials who
somehow or other found ways
to get into this country and
to stay here under the excuse
that they mo longer belong"
But even these men admitted
that after their alleged deser-
tons they had been approach
ed by Soviet agents on active
duty in Washington and New
York to do "juSt one last Job"
for the motherland.
A genuine deserter from
Russia. a former MVD member
in Tokyo. gave list of his
former colleagues in Wash
ington and New York. The
Washington top spies were
members of the USSR En-
bassy staff: those in New York
belonged to the Soviet delega-
ton to the United Nations.
They were all sheltered by dip
lomatic immunity
Despite the Indifferent re-
Spouse received so far from

curity Subcommittee. which
conducts its hearings in a less
spectacular manner but more
effectively than those of SEN
ator Joseph Mccarthy. will
continue until it can produce
legislation based on factual
testimony to- provide genuine
safeguards for our national
safety.

colleagues expect to prove to

conflict that the Arabs are per-
suaded will be opened by Israel
before the Arab armies reach
greater strength, while the Is
raeli anticipate an Arab at
tack.
What further, and more re-
Gently, added fuel to suspicion
of undue British influence was
the report that young King
Hussein was considering join
ing the Baghdad pact. This led
to lamentable riots, the fall
of the government, and new
threats to the throne. Here,
again-though it did not reach
the papers here, as far as I
saw-Gen. Glubb's Arab Legion
was blamed for not keeping
order during the riots. in which
underground Communists were
certainly involved.
The immediate cause of
Glubb's dismissal was, as we
all have read, the charge that
he had refused to put the
Arab Legion in readiness
against an Israel attack. Again.
this suspicion goes back to the
Palestinian war.
Jordan, miserably poor, is
unable to pay her way, and
Britain has been meeting her
annual budgetary deficit. Now
the Arab states-pre-eminently
oil-rich Saudi Arabia-are Of
fering to take over that f1nan-
cial burden in an effort to end
British influence.
British-educated King Hus-
sein is in a serious dilemma.
Nearly half the people he
rules are Palestinian refugees
from Israel living in wretched
camps and fed by the u
with the princely allowance Of
Z cents per person per day,
their bitterness mounting from
week to week.
Since the ousting of Gen.

being acclaimed, for the first
time throughout the Arab
world, and by the refugees in
Jordan and elsewhere, who

The crisis is not sudden. 1t
is the result of a long accu-

the action may touch off the
spark; if they are not sent

be encouraged. This column
still believes that the greater
risk is with the first course.

NEW DELHI, India, Mar.
I(R.-Secretary of State Dulles
arrived in India's capital today
amid hopes his talks with Prime
Minister Nehru would bolster
sagging Indian american rela-
tons. But few expected any
major change in either coun-
Itry's policy would result.
Observers were apprehensive
that Mr.. Dulles role in the
recent SEATO endorsement OF
Pakistan's demand for United
Nations plebiscite in the bitterly
disputed state of Kashmir would
have a damaging effect on the
talks.
However, Indian resentment
after the SEATO action appeared
subsiding somewhat.
Mr.. Dulles said on arrival that
the differences between India
and the United States are ere
Ilatively minor" and his visit to
Mr.. Nehru was an attempt "to
somewhat reduce these differ
ences."
Mr.. Nehru ordered extraordi-
nary security precautions to pre-
vent any anti-American demon
STATIONS. A dozen truckload OF
police were at the airport, asd
officers and plainclothesme<
were stationed every few yards
along the road the Secretary took

Besides the police, only United
States Embassy personnel, their
families, Indian officials and
newsmen were at the airport.
Mr.. Dulles flew here from
Karachi, where with the other
seven foreign ministers of the
Southeast Asia Treaty Organ
ization nations he agreed the
future of Kashmir should be
settled by a U. N. plebiscite OF

Defeat of President Eisen-
hover for reelection has be-
come a distinct possibility.
The press-conference re-
marks of the President on
Wednesday of this week have
made inevitable a bitter fight
inside the Republican Party.
1t may not be settled at the
national convention in Au-
gust and could definitely in
fluence enough votes in No

affection among regular Re-
publicans and hence a large
"stay-at-home" vote.

peated what he said a week
ago-namely, that he would
not discuss the vice presi-
dency because as yet he him.

President revealed that he
had told Vice President Nixon
that he must chart his own

opening up the whole subject
for controversial discussion.
This now will be intensified
by the hackers of rival can
didates.
In many respects the press
conference this week trans
cended in political importance
the one a week ago. The first
was merely an announcement
that Eisenhower would run,
while the second conference
raised the distinct possibility
that he may be defeated by a
split in his own party.
FOR IL is plain to see that
the people around the Presi-
dent who have his ear have
overestimated Mr. Eisen-
hower's political strength.
They forget that in 1852, while
the President carried many
States. the margin was very
close in several of them. This
margin Of victory was made
possible in many cases by the
indefatigable efforts of the
Taft wing led by the late Sem

will be no such force of har-

The dismissal of 1t. Gen.
John Bagot Club by King
Hussein of Jordan is another
straw in the wind blowing
against Western influence in
the Arab world.
For Club Pasha it is deep
personal tragedy. If ever a
man loved the army he Gre
ated, Gen. Club Is that man.
The small, snaggle-toothed SOL
der whom / met in Amman a
few years ago was anything but
the prototype of spit-and-
polish British brass. His office
and headquarters were mod
est, even shabby. At ease, his
faded cotton tunic was open at
the throat and his grizzled hair
slightly awry. But his famed
Arab Legion has been the
proudest. snappiest force in
the Arab world, immaculate,
superbly disciplined and dis
tinguishable anywhere by their

Club Pasha's loyalty to that
army was legendary, and so, if
one could draw him out, was
his loyalty to the Arab cause.
Without the romantic glamor
of Lawrence of Arabia, he had
created something more last
ing; the legion was his life,
which will, I am sure, be bound
up in it until the day he dies.
But Gen. Club is a Briton.
and the British position in the
Arab world has been under an
ever-darkening cloud, as anti
colonialism flames through the
East. The British are blamed
for partitioning the Arab
world after World War 1 be-
tween themselves and France,
and although within a genera
ton all of it is free, the re-
sentiment still burns. Above
all, they are blamed for spon-
soring via the Balfour Agree

thusiastic support of such Or

essary for victory
In the effort TO persuade the
President to run. many of his
advisers took the line that he
was "sure to win " Then. how
ever, when he made the deci-
sion to run. they permitted a
serious doubt to be raised as
to whether Mr. Nixon should
or should not be on the ticket.
They argued that he was a
liability" What isn't gen.
orally known is that in the
1854 congressional contests
Mr.. Nixon saved the Repupli-
can Party from a humiliating
defeat in several Western
States. He did so by vigorous
campaigning that earned for
him the undying enmity OF
his political opponents.
It would be the biggest break
the Democrats could get If Mr..
Nixon is eliminated from the
ticket in 1856. Once he is kept
out of the vice presidential
nomination, of course, he will
not draw crowds or produce a
fraction Of the political effect
that he has heretofore.
The disaffection inside the
Republican Party is difficult
to measure. This writer early
in January of this year wrote
a magazine article with praise
for the Presidents leadership
and indicating that he ought
to run again, whereupon a
very heavy mail came from
Republicans who said they had
voted for Eisenhower In 1852
but were pledging themselves
never to do so again.
High up in the political
councils of the Republican
Party they know more about
these disaffections than they
let on. The White House,
which sometimes seems in
sulated against the political
facts OF life, appears to be un-
aware of them.
Politically speaking, Mr.. Eli
senhower is often revealed as
