Vests Political Vacuum in Arab World
Blamed on Lack Of Understanding
CONSTANTINE BROWN

istration spokesman notwith-
standing, this loss Of ground
Is not due to any contemplated
reduction in the foreign eco
nomic aid program. The spec
tacular Soviet progress is due
to the impression Of military
strength they are creating all
over the world and to our own
wavering attitudes.
BY q lack Of understanding
OF the real conditions in the
Arab world we have permitted
the creation Of q political vac
uuIm. Then men in the Krem-
lin have been quick to take full
advantage of the situation. The
resentment Of the Arabs over
the policies Of the Western
Big Three toward Israel, Mo-
rocco and Algeria have been
exploited cleverly by the peace
loving" men in the Kremlin.
They have helped physically
the revolutionary movements
in North Africa and have
armed the Arabs for an even
tual showdown with Israel.
Our propaganda efforts are
either too slow or too old
fashioned for the cline" the
SovietS are adopting in that
part Of the world. The Rus
slams do not describe America
as the last stronghold Of re-
dictionary capitalism as they
do in their European propa-
ganda, but put it in the "colo-
nialist" bag with France and
Britain. And the Soviet propa-
ganda blares: "Colonialism is
like a werewolf, constantly
changing its form. Having
been ousted in the form Of
military or political occupa-
ton, it strives to return either
in the form Of military pacts
or under the banner of eco
nomic and financial aid"
Why We, with our ingenuity
in public relations. cannot
counter this obviously un-
truthful propaganda is Diff
f1cult to say. The most plaus-
ible answers are provided by
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-19

Is there such q thing as Q
tabor vote? Or do workers
vote and react to political is
sues and candidates in much
the same way as any other
segment Of the electorate?
Some interesting answers
have just been revealed in q
study Of the political behavior
Of members Of the United Auto
mobile Workers Union as de-
rived from interviews in the
Detroit area conducted before
and after the 1852 election.
The survey was financed by
the Auto Workers Union
through a grant Of funds to
Wayne University. The re-
suits are presented in q book
entitled How Labor Votes"
published today, which was
written by three researchers
Arthur Kornhauser, Albert j.
Mayer and Harold L. Sheppard.
In the main, the study can
be interpreted as confirming
a view held by persons with
longtime experience in poll
tics who have felt that rel
atively few voters are swayed
by labor legislation and by
specific labor issues which the
small minority of union off,
Gals and those Immediately
occupied with labor-union af-
fairs may regard as paramount
but which the rank and file
do not.
Those interviewed revealed
that 80 per cent had voted in
1948 for Truman and IL per
cent for Dewey. But in 1852
this changed so that only rs
per cent voted for Stevenson
and IS per cent for Eisenhower.
This was a concentrated area,
and the Gallup survey figures
show the workers gave a far
bigger percentage to Eisen-
hover on a Nationwide basis.
But 1t is interesting to ex-
anime the reasons for the
shift IN the Detroit area, where
1t is evident from the results
Of the new study that labor
union issues as such played a
secondary part.
1t was the Korean War
rather than any feeling about
labor union issues which
motivated the workers who,
when interviewed In 1852, said
they intended to vote for Eli
senhower. In fact, employ
ment, security and prosperity"
was designated as second in
Importance by these same Ell
senhower voters. Actually, less

than one per cent Of this group
showed any interest in issues
described as labor problems,
interests Of working people,
! labor versus big business, re-
peal of Taft Hartley Act"
What was cited as !mpor-
tant to them as issues, which
presumably caused them to
shift from the Democratic side,
was the Korean War. This got
q 46 per cent rating, while
employment, security and
prosperity" rated IS per cent,
and a variety Of percentages
were noted on other issues.
AS for the workers who said
they planned to vote for Ste
venson. it is to be noted that
such issues as corruption,
mess in Washington domes-
tic communism, Government
, waste and ineficiency, foreign
policy, defense, and relations
with Russia" seemed Of little
Importance. AS for the Eisen-
hover voters. they prominently
mentioned all Of these issues
in answers to interviewers.
The after-election survey
showed that SO per cent Of
those who voted for Stevenson
said they liked the Democratic
Party, its traditions and back
ground and general attitude
toward the workingman and
people Of low incomes. Among
the workers who had voted for
Eisenhower, "a per cent said
the country needed q change,
and another IA per cent said
they had voted for Ike because
he promised to end the Korean
War. Another "a per cent made
mention Of Gen. Eisenhower's
experience in Europe and his
general qualifications.
It may have been the word.
ing Of the question after the
election-which seemed to be
directed to the personality Of
the candidate rather than a
specific reference to the issues
but the tabulation of after
election interviews shows q
marked drop in the impor-
lance Of certain issues which
were given high mention by a
considerable number Of those
interviewed before the election.
Thus taxes. civil rights, do
mestic communism. and even
foreign policy got far less at
tention than when the inter-
viewers asked before election
for an evaluation Of their i'm
portance to the individual
worker.

When leaders of both major
political parties showed their
conventions back into August,
they paved the way for SEEM
ing advantages for each which
were not apparent at the time
the decisions were made. The
aim then was chiefly to
shorten the presidential cam
paign.
AS for the Republicans, the
late date-their convention
opens in San Francisco on
August 20-gives time for
President Eisenhower to re-
cover from his illness ahead
Of the convention. Also,
should he decide not to run
again, the late date would al
low the party more time to
get over the shock, pull itself
together and pick out a cam
didate than If the convention
were held six weeks to two
months earlier, as customary.
AS for the Democrats. their
late conventional will begin
a week earlier than the Re-
publicans', August 10, in Chi
cago-will be a help if there
is a bitter battle over civil
rights and a walkout by some
Southern delegations. For
that would give less time be-
fore election to organize and
launch q third party In the
South; much less time, for
example, than the previous
third-party movement had in
1948. That so-called Dixiecrat
movement grew out Of q con-
vention in Birmingham on
July II of that year, a rump
session Of representatives Of
10 States after the Democratic
National Convention which
ended two days earlier.
Time is a factor conducive
to Democratic harmony. In
fact, responsible Southern
leaders who want to avoid q
party split are now Stressing

Dairy Workers
Vote Down Pact

A proposed two-year contract,
backed by union officials, was
rejected here last night by 1,400
dairy employees almost at the
moment when this years pact
expired.
Members of Local 246, Milk
Drivers and Dairy Employees, re-
fused the deadline offer which
had the unanimous approval Of
their executive board.
The board. previously armed
by the union with strike-calling
authority, called for membership
approval shortly after returning
from a lengthy bargaining ses-
sion with officials of the local
milk industry. Six leading diaries
are involved.
The vote, 877 to $50, was taken
at a meeting at Capital Arena
about 10 pm. two hours before
the current one-year contract
expired.
To Continue Talks
The board was ordered to work
for a more acceptable offer" A
two-week deadline was set.
Opposition stemmed from gen.
,eral disapproval of a two-year
contract. Although it wasn't
voted on. indications were that
the proposal might have been
approved if offered on a one-year
basis.
Eugene Hubbard, speaking for
the board. called for approval Of
the offer. AS spokesman for the
Executives he outlined its differ
ences when compared to the
expired pact.
1t provided for a 10-cent-an-
hour. across-the-board pay in
crease during the first year, and
Z more cents an hour the second
year.
Changes also were made in
sections relating to vacations,
status of shop stewards, Sunday
working hours, holidays and
overtime.
Firms Deal as Unit
Most of the areas big diaries
are involved. They are bargain
ing as a unit as the Dairy IN
dustry Committee. Included are
the Chestnut Farms, Embassy,
Harvey, Alexandria. ThompSon's
and Wakefield companies.
A strike by Local 246 would
cut milk deliveries about 80 per
cent. a union official said.
Bargaining got underway on
May /. Daily meetings, steered
by Gilbert S. McCutcheon, a
commissioner of the Federal Me-
diation and Cancellation Service,
were held this week.
Herbert Koehne. union presi-
dent, said negotiations were to
be resumed at l pm. today at
the Hotel 2400.

House at $3.50 O'Clock.
Mr.. Cain was originally sched-
Iuled to see Mr.. Eisenhower this
morning. But the appointment
was set back and Attorney Gen
eral Brownell, the Presidents
chief adviser on the security
program, was given an appoint
ment in the earlier spot.
The Senate Subcommittee on
Constitutional Rights meanwhile
announced that Mr.. Cain. who
has been a sharp and persistent
critic of the security program
and the Attorney Generals So
called "subversive" list, would
testify in open session next Tues
day morning to outline his rec
concentrations for improving the
program.
Mr.. Cain repeatedly will dis
close several new cases of what
he calls bureaucratic heartless-
ness and abuses by those ad-
ministering the security system.
The White House conference
was scheduled after Mr.. Cain
had complained he was unable
to get his views regarding the
loyalty-security program to the
President.
Asked at his news conference
two weeks ago whether he would
see Mr.. Cain, the President re-
piled with a crisp yes"

The Lights of Chanukah

brought to the forefront the victories of the Macca
bees, and in that remarkable way that Jewish his
tory has of repeating itself, Chanukah and modern
Israel mesh and blend. Thus, Chanukah today is
marked as major holiday. This too is character
istc of Jewish history Jewish life is seldom static,
and even the traditional festivals are subject to
change. What was minor two hundred years ago,
when Jews lived in ghettoes, has become major,
now that Jews enjoy the freedom of America and
other democracies, and when Israel is free and
independent State.
What is even more pertinent is the fact that
Israel today is again faced with enemies who
would like to wipe her off the face of the earth.
The ancient foe, Egypt, remains implacable in its
animus Other Arab nations, incapable of destroy
ing Israel at its BIRTH have not given up hopes of
doing so in the future, and when headlines Shrek
across the pages of the American press the ancient
names roll off the pages: Egypt, Syria, the Sinai
Peninsula and other historic and traditional areas
in which so much Hebrew history is to be dis
covered.
Chanukah has also been marked in the United
States with Chanukah Festivals in various cities,
sponsored by the Israel Bond Organization, and
these celebrations have served to reemphasize the
immediacy of Chanukah's lesson, lesson which
proves that one must fight for ones freedom and
for ones independence, even as Israel fights for
hers.

The holidays of people are perhaps the key
to the understanding of the celebrant. Festivals
tell us much of the nation which observes them.
Just as one can write books about Americans and
their holidays, Indians and Hindu rites and pa
rades Muslin Ramadans, and Buddhist devil
dances, so can Jewish holidays speak volumes for
the Jewish people.
Oddly enough, Chanukah which begins on Wed
nesday night November %, and lasts for eight
days. one of the liveliest festivals of the Jewish
calendar, was not major holiday to observant
Jews (not to be compared with Rosh Hashonah or
Yom Kippur), but pleasant festival commemo-
rating the military victory of an oppressed folk
For centuries, it was happy eight-day affair
which reminded Jews all over the world OF hero
ism on the battlefield, of the struggle between
Helenism and Judaism, and it kept the Jews
aware of Chanukah as an avent which marked the
martyrdom of human beings on the altar OF free
dom of conscience.
More recently, however, Chanukah has taken
on more significant meaning for our time The
State of Israel was established under circunn-
stances startlingy similar to those existing IN the
days of the Jews of Chanukah times. The heroism
of modern Jews of Israel has been compared with
the accomplishments of the Maccabees, the heroes
of Chanukah. And the inspiring story OF Israel has
