CONSTANTINE BROWN
Popular Resentment Here Attributed
To YugosIovio's Being in Enemy Camp

the goodwill visit of the Yugo-
slav dictator to America was
more than the average citizen
could stomach. Marshal Tito's
behavior toward the United
States in the past and at pres
ent showed him to be definitely
anti-American.
There was no real resent
ment. for instance, to the visit
of King Saud of Arabia. who
not only Is an absolute sover-
eign with power of life and
death over his subjects but
also is intolerant to free speech
and religions other than Mo-
hammedanism. and rules over
the one country where slavery
still Is in force. This, in keep
ing with our beliefs of nom
intervention in the internal
affairs Of any country, is his
own business. The King of
Saudi Arabia is. however,
strongly anti-Communist be-
cause of deep religious convic-
tons. He is the head of the
one remaining country in the
Middle East which not only
refuses to have official relations
with the Kremlin but does not
permit Soviet citizens to cross
the threshold of the kingdom.
King Saud wants no truck with
atheists.
King Saud could be of some
relative value to us in the
present crisis. though not as
much as our officials are lead
ing us to believe. 1t is true
that he does not like Egypt's
dictator NasSer, but he sup
ports him financially because
of Saud's deep hatred Of
Israel. And while he may be-
come convinced after the con-
versationS he has had with
President Eisenhower and his
advisers that he should be
more careful of the way he
spends his money on the man
who wants to present the Arab
world to the Soviets in a
neatly tied-up package, it is
unlikely that we shall be able
to gain his full confidence and
assistance so long as we sup
port even mildly the Israeli
stat !. King Saud is a con-
troversial figure among the
religious groups in this coun-
try. But in the present life
and-death struggle against in
ternational communism he can
be expected to be on our side.
Not so Yugoslavia's Tito.

We may look ahead to the big
gest bonanza Of all for the big
oil companies-namely the bill
to exempt natural gas pro-
ducers from regulation by the
Federal Power Commission,
which the President urged in
his budget message a few days
ago. That will greatly enhance
the value of oil and gas re-
serves. Of which a few big COM
panies own the bulk. 1t would
be a windfall Of mammoth pro-
portions, and would cost con-
sumers heavily.
While the visit here of the
King Of Arabia may help the
cause OF peace in the Middle
East, which is the Presidents
hope, maybe 1t will turn the
gaze Of the rest of us inward
upon ourselves to see If we

complex. Of intolerance and
prejudice. of special privileges

Wilson and the National Guard

took the delicate task Of get
ting the National Guard in
fighting shape during the crit
ical period before Pearl Har-
Dor. One of his first moves was
to hold a private conference
with veteran Washington re-
porters who understand the
political headaches attached to
the problem.
Gen Marshall explained his
purpose and said diScreetly
that he was asking all top
Guard commanders to take
new and rigorous physical ex-
aminations. The reporters
burst into laughter in which
even the dignified general
joined. He then spoke with
great frankness, asking re-
porterS for their help and un-
derstanding when the inevi-
table political pressureS began
back in the States.
Gen. Omar Bradley, the
soldiers general" of World
War II. has described his prob
lens in trying to whip a Guard
division into battle shape. He
found so much family and
politics in it that he felt he
would have made faster prog
ress with a regular Army cadre
and raw recruits.
The Guard divisions went to
war and did valiant service.
But before they crossed the
seas. all but a scant few Of
their original commanders had
been relieved.

The current Wilson mayhem
is directed at the National
Guard. The Secretary said it
was "a sort of scandal" dur
ing the Korean war; that some
young men were using it as a
draft lodging business. He
sticks to that statement.
The National Guard is a
vested interest very powerful
in the 48 Statehouses of the
Nation where potent political
figures work at their trade.
President Eisenhower, who ac-
tually knows at first hand the
Army's trou bles with the
Guard. has now felt obliged to
repudiate the Secretary's state
ment as very unwise."
The President at the same
time praised without restraint
his Secretary Of State, John
Foster Dulles, who is under
heavy fire in Congress. The
irony Is that the politicians
all know that Wilson has a
lot on his side and that Dulles
has asked for years for his
troubles with compound in
terest.

The decision of President

that "emotionalism" has

with the Yugoslav dictator.
Neither the massive volume

Senator Lyndon johnson, were
given an outline Of the plan
by the Secretary Of State. Rep
resentative Martin and Senator

But If one reads the speeches
of criticism, the idea is con-

gress and that. because it
didn't happen to have all the
details ready for immediate
submission to committees-in-
deed, the committees in the
new Congress were not yet or
ganized at the time--a gigantic
blunder of some kind was COM
mitted.
Senator Mansfield of Mon
tana, an able Democrat, who
doesn't think he is partisan
but who betrays his partisan
ship in subtle way and some
times in ways not so subtle,
made a lengthy speech in the
Senate on Tuesday, in which
he said:
Il know Of no Senator on
this side of the aisle who does
not believe the country would
be better off under a Demo-
cratic President"
Such a statement is not con-
sistent with the lukewarm sup
port given by a certain group
of Democratic Senators to
the Stevenson-Kefauver ticket.
But the mere pronouncement
OF such a view in a speech on
matters of grave concern in
foreign policy is a revelation
Of the true partisanship which
dominates many of the Demo-

Did Adlai Stevenson really
win the last election after all?
Judging by the speeches being
made these days by certain
Democratic Senators. parrot
ing almost exactly the line Of
argument offered by the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nee in the last campaign, one
could get the impression that
the American people did not
approve by an overwhelming
vote the peace policies of Pres
ident Eisenhower.
No more bitterly partisan
speeches and statements have
been made in many a day in
the United States Senate and
in the hearings before the
Senate committees than those
which boldly seek to blame the
administration for the precipi-
tate action taken by the Brit
ish and French governments
when. without consulting
America, they landed troops in
the Suez area. But most of
the speech-making is usually
accompanied by pious profess
sions of nonpartisanship. fol-
lowed by captious criticism
based on picayunish points.
Thus, for example, what
sort of public crime is it that
news about the Eisenhower
doctrine appeared in the press
before the committees in Con-
gress were formally advised of
it? One reporter got a SCOOP
by putting two and two to-
gether after reading a very
meaningful dispatch from
London. He ferreted out the
news of the new policy. There
upon, the administration de-
cided that. rather than let the
case be presented in piece
meal fashion, it would be bet
ter to outline in general the
proposed policy to some men,
hers of the press.

Decentralizing Power

Discussing the recent Supreme
Court decisions last week, /
pointed out that the legislative
and executive branches of the
government would react to some
of these decisions by defining
and restating their powers
through new legislation. This
process began within the past
few days with high Congressional
priority now being given to a
new law relating to the divulg-
ing of confidential information
in F.BI. files. Other decisions
will, no doubt, cause additional
legislative proposals within the
near future.
The arguments recall another
controversy to which Supreme
Court decisions have contributed.
That is the definition of Federal
and State powers. The Court has
often ruled to enlarge Federal
domination. In other instances,
it has insisted upon protecting
State powers. It is unfortunate
