Winning Elections in the b. s..

Republicans next time. Ger
tainly if the presidential
election were held today the
Republicans would lose all
types of the so-called bor-
der States-Virginia, Mary
land. Kentucky, West vir-
ginia. Missouri. Oklahoma,
Tennessee. This is because
the normally Republican vote
in the rural areas has been
lost either on farm issues or
because Of the emotional re-
action to the Republican
stand against segregation.
The rural communities in
the border States which
normally are Republican
probably will take away more
votes than the Republicans
can possibly hope to gain
from the anti-segregation
blocS in the North.
In the cities the high cost
of living may become almost
the paramount influence in
swinging voters away from
the Republicans. It has done
so before. The squeeze on
profits of corporations is re-
Elected in unemployment
figures, but the squeeze on
the housewives pocketbook is
more potent politically.
The one hope of the Re-
publican administration is on
the emotional side. Can the
Republicans convince the
country when election time
comes that their party has
not merely kept the peace
but that any change in the
White House might be hurt
full? Foreign policy could
dominate everything else.
The Democrats thus far have
issued many barbs of critic
ism on this issue but don't
seem to have come up with
any alternative formula on
which the public can be per-
suaded to take a chance.
Much can happen in the
three years left between this
weeks election and the day
when the next President is
to be chosen. But the party
that can persuade the voters
that it will keep America out
of war will have the better
opportunity for victory.

The free world. almost from
the outset of the Communist
rule in Russia, fell into the
habit of Understanding the
Red capabilities. Even today,
with a Russian satellite soar
ing through space and evil
dence of Communist advances
in science and weapons on
every hand. there are fools in
high places who sneer pub
licly at communism and pre-
dict with owl faces that lit
won't work.
This anniversary of the
glorious great October So
cialist Revolution" October
by the old Orthodox calen-
dar) ought to be the occasion
for the free world, what is
left Of 1t, to, solemnly resolve
never again to underestimate
Communist capabilities or
intentions. No longer can the
world afford to wait and pray
and hope for some miracle to
overthrow the rule of COM
munism. The immediate risk
is too great to allow further
indulgence in wishful think
ing that the masses of the
people under Communist ty-
ranny will rise against their
oppressorS, or that Khrush-
chev or any other Red dicta-
tor will suddenly become be-
nign and benevolent and lead
the world to peace.
Communism is no longer a
political, social and economic
experiment that is likely to
fail. AS a philosophy. revo-
lutionary idea, it has long
since failed completely. But
as power, naked and ruthless
and menacing, it has not
failed. 1t looms large and ter
rible over the affairs of men
and the future Of the world.

but nobody else in the ad-
ministration thought of that,
though there we're lots of
silly things said. And so the
word was passed around by
his claque Of what a fine
thing he had done, so realistic
and honest, and so it was by
contrast.
Lately the Vice President
has been represented as play
ing an active, behind-the-
scenes role in the campaign
to jimmy Governor Goodwin
knight out of his campaign
for denomination so as to
leave the field to Senator Will
liam F.. Knowland, currently
the Republican leader in the
Senate, who is retiring from
the Senate next year to run
for Governor. This is depicted
as a kind act of the Vice
President on behalf of Bill
Knowland who is. as you
know, Richard Nixon's chief
rival for the Republican Pres

preparatory to that. for con-
troll Of the California delega-
ton to the convention. But
preventing a bitter fight
within the Republican Party
over the governorship. which
could tear the party apart
and open the way for Demo-
cratic ascendency in Cali
fornia is Just as good for
Dick Nixon as for Bill Know
land, so the Vice Presidents
kindly act is not entirely an
eleemosynary endeavor.
Bill Knowland, when he re-
tires from the Senate, will be
a free agent to campaign for
the nomination, though that
won't be too much change
for him. He has exhibited
more independence of the
White House, and detected
more from administration
policy than any Senate party
leader in many years. Repub-
lican or Democrat. He is the
champion Of the old Taft
wing of the Republican Party
which has not had much
luck in national party con-
ventions, though dominant in
Congress, and is expected to
swing free of the administra-
ton on important issues, both
domestic and national, while
the Vice President must ride
with the Eisenhower element.

the brickbats and dead cats
which come their way fre-
quently, a fact which prob
ably helps to keep the Pres
ident from doubts regarding
them.
The most controversial fig
ure inside the White House
is Sherman Adams. the as
sistant President. Here
again Republican complaints
at times soar higher than
those of Democrats. But
Adams or someone very much
like him is indispensable TO
Eisenhower, who delegates
all detail and most political
decisions.
Even if Adams were less
powerful he would be an
object of suspicion; the gray
eminences of Presidents al
ways are, as the careers of
Harry Hopkins with Franklin
Roosevelt and Col. House
with Woodrow Wilson prove.
The White House problem
in the changed climate with
which Washington faces the
new year is not Adams but
the President himself. He
is being asked for the first
time to accept direct re-
sponsibilities and to display
the kind of aggressive and
creative talents he was once
praised for lacking.

CONSTANTINE. BROWN,
Leader of BoIshevik Revolution
Saw Vision Turn Into Fronkenstein

This week will mark the
40th anniversary Of the Red
revolution in RUSSIA rev.
olution that has rocked the
world to its foundations and
introduced a tyranny and a
slavery greater in power
and scope than anything in
the history Of modern man.
Yet it is we'll for the world
to note that the Bolshevik
revolution was based on a
Marxist foundation that had
as its central reason for ex$
istence the liberation, not
the enslavement, of man
kind from expressions which
Karl Marx in the mid-l9th
century ascribed to the OPP
erations of capitalism.
To vladimir Ilyitch Lenin.
the astute radical whose
leadership brought the mi
nority Bolsheviks to power
in war-torn Russia, the vic
tory of the workers and
peasants was inevitably to
guarantee a freedom of the
toilers. Indeed, Lenin fore
saw a stateless society. with
no army, no police. and no
bureaucracy. This wonderful
Eden was to come about
almost automatically, simply
because in Lenin's view the
removal of capitalist "hor-
rors" would make it natural
for all mankind to live by
the Golden Rule.
One wonders if the brood
ing Russian political genius
realized before his death in
1924 that the workers and
peasants society he had en-
visioned was already a shat
tered dream. Certain of Le-
nin's writings in the years
just before his death indi-
Gated some real realization
that the Communist state he
fathered and guided was
fast becoming a Frankstein
that would devour its chill

Success at Polls Tied to Two Factors:

DAVID LAWRENCE

Politics will be on peoples
minds this week in a few Sec
lions of the country where
local elections are being held
but it's on the minds of the
politicians here every week
of the year.
Some evidence may emerge
that will help to appraise
national trends. but probably
not enough to make a hori-
zontal appraisal.
What is the present mood
of the electorate? If the Gus.

ment were applied-selecting

plants. as if all the ills OF the
hour can be cured by the
highest officials in Washing
ton merely by waving a magic
wand and sweeping away the
troubles, economic and inter-
national. that beset the coun-
try.
When election day arrives,
however, there is always a
sort of sober reflection as the
voter asks himself whether
things are as bad as they
seem and whether any
change in regime would
really make them any better.
What are the fundamental
factors in the attitude Of the
voters toward elections Of a
national character? Per-
sonalities count much in local
contests. but across the coun-
try a popular or even a more
capable person can be beat
en- for the presidency by an
unknown whose capacity has
not been demonstrated. This
is because issues are more
controlling than personali-
ties, assuming. of course, in

mon denominators in Ameri-
can elections that have been
revealed repeatedly as most
influential are first, the eco
nomic condition of the coun-
try as it relates to the in
dividual voter. and, second,
the question of war or peace.
Curiously enough. If an emo
tional issue of a stirring ma
ture arises such as an ex-
posure of corruption. or proof
that subversion has been toll
Grated. or that the Nations
security is endangered. a sub
ordination of the economic
factor sometimes occurs. 1t
all depends on whether the
Nation is in the midst of
severe depression - when
nothing else can counterfeit
the vote against the party
in power - or whether only
a mild readjustment is going
on in business, in which case
other issues can play a more
decisive role.
But offsetting the spotty
economic recession today the
biggest emotional issue of
our times is the question of
war or peace. The main rea-
son why Gen. Eisenhower
won in 1852 was that the
Nation had become con-
WINGED that the Truman ad-
ministration got the country
into an unnecessary war in
Korea, and that Gen. Eisen-
hover would extricate Amer
lea from that conflict
which he did.
The main reason. more
over, why President Eisen-
hover won in 1856 was that
he still was regarded as a
man who would work I'M
ceaSingly to keep the Nation
out of war.

There now lives in a Yugo-
slavian jail one Milovan
Djilas. who had the courage
to compile and publish. even
while in a Communist prison
for past "deviations," the
most severe indictment Of
Communist rule yet to ap-
pear. AS a once-dedicated
Communist himself, a close
friend of Josip Broz Tito and
a Vice President of Red Yugo-
slavia, Djilas certainly knew
what he was talking about.
And what he said in 1.-THE
New Glass" confirms the
worst fears of these liberal
intellectuals who have long
hoped that Lenin's theories
on the characterization of
Communist society would be
realized somehow.
That such a happy outcome
could ever be realized, short
of the outright abandonment
of Communist dictatorship. is
effectively secuted by Djilas.
Instead, there has arisen a
new exploiting class. more
brutal and more oppressive
than capitalism ever was in
its worst manifestations. This
new class feeds on itself. re-
produces and multiplies by
itself. growing ever more
tyrannical and controlling al
ways an expanding area of
humanity's self respect and
dignity.
But this is not all. The
anniversary of the coup by
which the Russian Bolshe-
viks under Lenin overthrow
the wobbly regime Of Keren-
sky Russia's only brief and
tragic experience with democ-
racy, sees world communism
as not only an octopus-like
bureaucracy. but a huge and
menacing military power with
expansionist and aggressive
leadership. Huge areas of the
world have vanished behind

In the case of Vice Presi-
dent Nixon we are currently
observing the difficulties en-
countered by a Vice President
who seeks, while in that Office,
to win his party's nomination
for President. Winning that
prize and then getting elected
to the White House has not
been achieved by an incum-
bent Vice President since
Martin Van Buren, did it in
1896.
Richard M. Nixon has the
same handicap as others in
the past. He is not a free
agent. He lives and operates
in the shadow OF another, the
President. This is. in the first
instance, because he can
hardly do otherwise since he
is a party leader and an in
tegral part of the admins
tration and its policies. and,
in the second and practical
instance. because he depends
upon the support and in
fluence of the President to
win him the nomination as
Andrew Jackson was able to
do for Martin Van Buren, over
century ago.
The Vice President is iden-
tilted with the Eisenhower
wing of the party. That is the
foundation of his bid for the
nomination. Any shift in the
public attitude toward the
administration and its policies
likewise will reflect upon him.
1t is indicate for him to
criticize the President and
his administration.
In the last several months
the Eisenhower Administra-
ton has lost some Of its
glamour with the public.

among people Of low and me-

the domestic front recently
has been sullied by reduced
business activity and on the
international front by our

progress in the military field.
We are getting some clues
that the Vice President has
recognized that things are
not going too well with the
administration. A man in his
position has one avenue
through which he can keep
himself in the public eye and
explain himself. Since this is
one Of the techniques Of our
modern politics. as it has
been indeed in all of our
history, it is a part Of any
inspection of the current
political scene to take cogni-
zance of it.
This device is the journa-
lists "claque" which provides
a transmission belt for a
public man who, like the Vice
President. must operate be-
hind a cloak of anonymity in
certain particulars. Nearly
every day of late we have
been reading pieces in the
newspaper in which the Vice
President is represented as
doing this or that chore for
the administration. There
emerges the picture of an
active. energetic helper who
is working for the good Of US
all, a cheerful, sunshiny
figure. Nor can you miss the
impression that he also is
doing all right for Richard
Nixon, and with methods
which, for careful calcula-
ton of end results, are
matched only by the job
being done by, and for, an
equally ambitious man, some
what younger, who is angling
for the Presidential nominal
ton of the Democrats-Sena-
tor John Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts.
In the size of the "claque,
however, the closest rival to
the Vice President is another
Democrat-Senator Lyndon
johnson OF Texas. the Senate
Democratic leader.
Out Of one of his occasional
speeches Vice President
Nixon recently got a lot Of
mileage. He merely said the
natural thing after the Rus

C0RDLESS HEARING AID
Wern Entirely on One Ear

Peoria, ILL.,, Especial - H. A.
Lyons, who himself has been
hard of hearing for over rs
years, today announced the per:
fection of a miniature electron-
ic hearing aid that is so small
it is worn on one ear.
1t weighs but a fraction of an
ounce and can be slipped on
and off easier than a pair of
glasses. Wearer gets all-direc-
tional pickup and normal use
of telephone. There is no cloth
ing interference because it is
worn at the ear, which is the
natural way to hear.
Since the aid is tiny and is
