Wiser Thon Solomon

The Star says editorially
that even Solomon would
find 1t difficult to unravel
Mid-EaSt utterances. I do
not deny that he would have
found 1t so. Any man unwiSe
enough to marry 1000 wives
could not possibly be wise
enough to understand inter-
national mysteries. With
such an intoxication Of wom-
ems loves. his mind would be
too foggy for determinations
on world affairs.
As for the Mid East utter

columnists and government
ofhcials chose to analyze cor
rectly. 1t is simply this: Two
great powers are vying for
spherical influence in the
Mid-East--United States and
Russia. Russia is getting
ahead by shrewd diplomacy.
while the United States is far
behind. In desperation the
United States has formulated
the Mid-East doctrine which

Of bayoneted troops in that

all our government can do

In any case. the Arabs are
pretty much disguised with
both Russia and the United
States and are justified in
the statements they make.
They want to be independ-
ent OF foreign control and
influence. After all, 1t is their
own country. We Americans
would not want Russia TO
exert influence over us, nor
would Russia want ours.

THE POLITICAL MIL
Liberal Democrats in 1860 Race
By GOULD LINCOLN

The nomination Of a liberal
Democrat for President-on
o platform containing q
strong civil rights plank-is
being widely predicted by
Northern and Western DEM
ocrats. This may not be
palatable to Southern DEM
ocrats. but the Northern wing
OF the party seems perfectly
willing to take that chance.
The attitude Of the North
erners has been strengthened
by the Little Rock school
case and Governor Faubus Of
Arkansas.
The liberal Democrats have
quite an array Of potential
presidential candidates,
among them three Governors
OF important States-Gov-
ernor c. Mennen williams Of
Michigan, Governor Robert
B. Meyner Of New Jersey and
Governor w. Averell Harri-
man OF New York. They could
have an added entry in this
Governors list II Attorney
Pat Brown Of California
should be elected Chief Ex-
ecutive Of that State next
year. In addition, a group Of
potentials is found among
Democratic Senators, includ-
ing Senator Estes Kefauver
OF Tennessee. who, although
he halls from a Southern
State, must be rated a "lib-
eral." Other Senators are
John F. Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts. Hubert Humphrey
Of Minnesota, Paul Douglas
Of Illinois and Joseph S.
Clark Of Pennsylvania.
And, Of course, there re-
mains Adlai Stevenson, for
mer Governor Of Illinois and
twice : defeated presidential
candidate. Mr.. Stevenson has
strongly indicated he will not
again be a candidate, and
there Is doubt that his party
would give him another nomi-
nation even If he tried for it.
However, with President
Eisenhower barred by the
two-term amendment to the
Constitution from running
again, Stevenson supporters.
Of whom there have been
many. might make a try for
his nomination.
Conservative Possibilities
This is not an entire list
Of potential candidates for
the Democratic presidential
nomination, but it comes
close to naming the likely
liberals. A conservative list
would include the Majority
Leader Of the Senate. Lyndon
B. johnson Of Texas. and
Senators Symington of Mis-
souri, and Lausche of Ohio.
Lausche would be acceptable
TO the Northerners on his
civil rights voting record,
generally speaking; also he
was I'VE times elected Coy :
ernor Of his State, which on
occasion has been called the
mother of Presidents.
None of these liberal can
didates among the Democrats
has yet raised a lightning
rod publicly. But. also. it is
no secret that the friends Of
several Of them are already
in there pitching. This is
particularly true of support

Mr.. Almond repeated his ia

was inspired by a Republican
thirst for power. He declared

minority groups are sufficient to
sway those States one way or
the other and thereby govern
the outcome of q presidential
election.

decided to crush the South in
its ambition to control the got-
eminent Of this country" said
Mr.. Almond.

man Adams to the list Of Re-

been frequent targets In the
campaign.
