While the United States
concerns itself busily with the
defense of the free world
against communism in Europe
and Asia, spreading American
dollars with lavish hand
everywhere in those areas. our
policymakers seem to be blind
ito a seedbed of Communist
growth in our own Hemisphere.
Latin America, where dicta-
torship is a way of life and
poverty is the rule rather than
the exception, offers a tempt
ing, fertile field for the Red
conspirators to cultivate. There
is ample evidence that they
are doing so.
In its present state Of eco
nomic development. there is
little the present political
leaders of the Latin American
nations can do to raise stand
ards of living for. their peoples.
OF course, in such nations as
Venezuela, where immense
mineral wealth is being ex-
plotted by North American
capital. the factors are present
for a major improvement. But
most of Central and South
America is basically poor, with
natural resources undeveloped,
and With poor roads and
communications.
The recent outbreaks Of vio-
lence in Chile, where mobs
have def1ed soldiers and police
to demonstrate against steep
rises in living costs, are a dan
ger signal. a warning. So far
at least. there is no sign that
our State Department is tuned
in to the warning signals. Mr..

helpful If Senator Knowland
would step aside so another Re-
publican could be appointed and
enter the 1858 campaign as a
Senate member.
Observers here interpreted
Gov. Knights remarks as indi-
eating a feeling that the G.. o. P.

any advantage that might stem
from being an incumbent.
Senator Knowland, the Sem

the question of whether he might
bid for the Republican nominal
ton for governor as a step to-
ward seeking the G.. o. p. presi-
dental nomination in 1860.
No Discussion Slated
Gov. Knight told a Sacra-
mento. Calf. news conference
he was mot advocating" that
Senator Knowland quit early.
The Governor said he has no
plans to discuss the situation
with Senator Knowland on a
Forthcoming trip to Washington.
Friends said that whether Sem
Iator Knowland quits before his
term ends may depend on politi-
lcal developments in his home
State. He has until about next
January to decide whether he
will run for Governor. If he
made that race and won his
Iparty's nomination in the State
primary. Senator Knowland
might be willing to resign from

The United States did not be-

said Mr.. Winter himself had
first advised Sims to hold of

vised him 'if you think you can

Questions Union Rule
Mr.. Sims asked Mr.. Winter
what union rule condemns me
or any member to perpetual ST.
lence in the face of known and
grevious evils? =. Is public
knowledge Of the truth a greater
union crime than the scandalous
misuse Of a unions money by its
highest official?" He added:
Who is responsible Tor this
disgrace to the labor move

deeds-which you carefully fail
to defender my good faith ef-
fort to expose them?"
Mr.. Sims also noted that the
AFL-CIO Executive Council. OF
which Mr.. Winter is a member.
is pledged to cooperate with the
Senate committee to clean up
corrupt elements from organ

Meanwhile, it was disclosed
that four of II vice presidents

that he also was returning to
