winning important propaganda
victories. Their nuclear.test
propaganda, for instance, is
taking hold. British Foreign
Secretary Lloyd, in q nation
wide broadcast in England,
called attention to the Com
munist inspiration of much of
the Juror about fall out" but
that item got little emphasis
in the American press. The
Atomic Energy Commissions
members, moreover, may be
presumed to be as eager to
protect the health Of their own
families and children as any
body else, but they are under
constant attack in the left
wing" press in America through
a stream Of widely circulated
reports from anonymous, or
even identifiable but often
uniformed, sources that keep
emphasizing the alleged dan
gers Of fall out" despite Acc
denialS.
This propaganda has pene-
trated deeply in European
countries, too, and one would
think the Soviets had sud-
denly become paciflsts and
didn't intend ever to use the
big bombs. Yet not q single
test In recent months has been
announced in advance by Mos
COW. Most of its tests have been
detected by American govern
ment mechanisms, but perhaps
not all of them. There are too
many people in America willing
to trust Soviet promises, and
they are urging the United
States to stop developing these
atomic weapons. This would
give the Communists another
big advantage in the struggle
for survival.
The battle of Washington
has its discouraging aspects,
because even many persons In
public life who should be
giving the American people the
real picture aren't aware Of
how the enemy propaganda is

Events are taking place in
the Middle East that may well
bring about a major realign-
ment Of the Arab states in the
near future. The realignment

young King Hussein was able.

ure In the eyes OF his fellow

well, that their own royal
prerogatives are threatened by
the same forces that very
nearly overthrow the Jordan
ian ruler.
The Saudi dynasty and the
Hashemites. to which princely
house the IraQi and Jordan
kings belong (they are cou-
sins) have long been bitterly
estranged. King Saud's pred
ecessor, Ibn Saud. exiled the
Hashemites from the holy city
Of Mecca after World War /;
since that time the two fami-
lies have been blood enemies.
But last week King Saud went
to Baghdad, where he kissed

DAVID LAWRENCE

It may be interesting aca-
demically to debate whether
the Battle Of Gettysburg was
or was not fought efficiently by
the generals there more than
80 years ago, but it is far more
important now to determine
who will win the battle Of
Washington going on today.
For the battle here is a battle
that concerns the lives of mil
lions of Americans who haven't
yet been made fully aware Of
the real threat to their safety.
It's a battle that is being
carried on insidiously by the
enemy-the Soviet Union
with the unwittingly given
help Of many persons in
America who. in demanding
cuts in defense in order to get
a tax reduction. place politics
or selfish interest above coun-
try. though they would be the
first to deny any such intent.
It's a battle. moreover, that
the Eisenhower administration,
itself. isn't winning. largely be-
cause it Is so busily engaged in
its multifold operations and so
burdened with enormous re-
sponsibilities that the need for
q vigorous rebuttal to Offset the
political shipping and misrepre-
sentation is not fully appre-
ciated.
There are those who pessi-
mistically say this battle
domestically speaking-is al
ready lost and that the Presi-
dents speeches on the budget
have come too late. There are
those who think that on the
world stage = in the propa-
ganda field - we are steadily
losing ground.
But it is never too late for
truth to win over distortion
and for facts to win over mis-
representation or for common
sense to prevail over fallacious
doctrines. Among these is the
wishful idea, widely propa-
gated inside America, that all
overseas propaganda and. in
deed, all economic and military
aid to foreign countries can
readily be abandoned by the
United States and. with the
savings made, taxes can be
substantially reduced - and
Soviet Russia will. Of course,
quietly retreat behind its bor-
ders and permit the world sit
uation to become peaceful and
happy.

A Big Political Battle Ahead

look bad before the public.
Another Is the very obvious
weakening Of the Presidents
influence with his own party
due to the Constitutional ban
against another term. A third
is the lack Of support on some
issues, notably schools and
some foreign policy matters,
by the party's leader in the
Senate-Senator William F.
Knowland Of California who
is running for President, him
self. and counting the con-
servatives and thus striking
at modern Republicanism."
AS the President tries to i'm
prove his position in Congress,
he confronts an apathy due to
his failure in his four years in
Office to cultivate his party
there, as was pointed out here
recently. How he and his ad-
ministration are looked at
from Congress is seen In the
reaction Of a young modern
Republican" Representative
Peter Frelinghuysen, r., Of
New Jersey in his most re-
cent washington Letter" to
his constituents, thus:
Justified or not. there are
many rank and file Repub-
licans who feel left out Of
things Were those members
consulted more often, the adj
ministration might be sur
prised to ind them actually in
substantial agreement with
presidential policy. However,
when they are ignored and al
lowed to feel 'unwanted,' such
Congressman become, perhaps
unconsciously, vulnerable to
arguments opposing the Presi-
dents program.
For this and other reasons,
the President has only q fairly
small band in Congress, and
that includes many neophytes.
who will make q real fight for
him. Similarly. Herbert
Hoover had only q small band
in his day when early In his
administration he got into o
fight with Congress over the
tariff.

G. o. P. Split Believed Likely to Test
Principle on Opposing President

accepted candidate for Presi-
dent in 1860.
Their demands for budget
cuts exceed those Of most
Democrats. In fact, the pres
ent prospect is that the Senate
Democratic leader, Lyndon
johnson, will try In every
possible way to exploit Re-
publican divisions while stalk
ing out a moderate ground for
his own flock.
Another interesting aspect Of
the struggle Is the silence Of
almost all those elements in
the party which have pro-
claimed themselves Eisenhower
Republicans. In the Senate
they have been failing to an
swer the daily taunts Of the
Democrats about the Eisen-
hover revolving door budget
policy" The so-called modern
Republican governors nave
been strangely slow to rally
to the embattled President.
It is true that in Congress
the Eisenhower Republicans
lack seniority and points of
vantage. But there still is no
ban on free speech in Con-
gress or out. It Is at least
indicated until evidence APP
pears to the contrary that the
weakness Of modern Republi-
cans does not arise merely from

In the pre-World War II era
when isolationism made what
seemed its last stand. Senator
Burton K. Wheeler predicted
that his leadership Of the OPP
position to President Roose-
velt'S internationaliSm meant
the end of the Wheeler polit-
ical career. Wheeler viewed the
situation strictly in political
terms.
Nobody" he said, gets
great by fighting the President
of his own party"
The Montana Democrat was
one of the boldest and most
astute men ever to serve in the
Senate. He had trounced q
Republican Justice Depart
ment and dealt numerically
with Republican Presidents
Coolidge and Hoover. But his
principled fight against a Pres
ident Of his own party had
exactly the result he expected.
The Wheeler rule is about
to be tested in the present
battle Of the Eisenhower
budget which finds senior Re-
publicans in both Houses in
harsh opposition to his pro-
gram. At least one of these,

still has to get from the ranks

manded his second term an ar

Vice President Nixon, whose
talent for exploiting widely
approved Eisenhower projects
is notorious. has been very
quiet, too. The Vice President
has an excuse for not getting
involved in disputes Of this
kind but he has often plunged
into them, nonetheless.
He may have to go on record
in some fashion. II q tied roll
call on a budget cut should
occur. In theory he should
side with the President and
could not be blamed by reason
able people for doing so.
It had been assumed that
Nixon In 1860 would be the
candidate of modern Republic
cans while concentrations WOULD
rally behind Senator Know
land. It also was assumed that
Nixon would be q relatively
easy winner.
In the light Of the present
resurgence Of conservatism,
both these assumptions are
being re-examined. The course
Of the budget battle viii shed
some light on them certainly.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Arab Kings Consider Plan to Ease
MonorchioI Rule and Counter Reds

all the Arab states can get
together every time. Thus,
although Hussein can publicly
berate Egypt and Syria for
stirring UP conspiracies in his
own kingdom. he is careful to
emphasize that there is no
rift between his nation and
Egypt or Syria on the subject
of Israel.
But the three kings repre-
sent an Arab way Of life which
Is increasingly being chal-
lenged by the young. intel
lectual elements in the Moslem
world. They are looked upon
as remnants Of an ancient
feudalism. whose rule must be
ended II Arab peoples are to
join the Goth century.
Inevitably. the Communists
work with the young dissi-
dents. The Reds encourage ma
tionalism. reform movements,
liberalization of the old Mos
lem religious restrictions, sub
stitution of civil for religious
courts, and all the modern
trappings sought by the pro-
gressives."
It goes without saying that
the agents Of Moscow are US
ing the restlessness Of the
Arabs for their own nefarious
purposes. But their motives are
unimportant at this time, for
they are succeeding. Even
though intelligent young Arabs
are fully aware Of the Com
munist stake In the aid they
give to Arab nationalism, they
shrug and accept it. Why not?
It Is help. they argue.
On the other side of the coin,
unfortunately, the Unite d
States and our chief allies have
preferred to deal with the
kings and the feudal leaders.
This preference represents no
reactionary intention, but
rather the natural decision to
support these elements in the

icies most closely approach

The meetings Of the three
kings may presage Q new ap-
proach to the Arab worlds
problems. It Is reliably re-
ported from Baghdad and
Amman that Faisal and Hus-
sein are trying hard to con-
vince King Saud that their
hopes for survival and con-
tinued rule rest on major
changes in the monarchial sys-
tenn. Something must be done.
the young monarchs argue, to
escape the reputation fastened
upon them by the progress
sives"-that they support and
protect the old feudal ways
that have meant dire poverty
and backwardness for their
peoples.
King Saud will be hard to
convince, for his own position
appears to be safe enough.
But his keen intelligence, plus
the advice he gained during his
recent trip to the United States
and other nations. is expected
to modify his reluctance to
change his nations ways.
There is little doubt now that
Saud already has been con-
WINGED that to allow the
Egyptians and the Syrians to
go their ways would be self
destruction for the kingdoms,
including his own.
A successful meeting of-the-
minds among the royal trio
would have q major effect on
the balance Of power in tho
Arab world. and thus on the
whole situation in the Middle
East. It rem aims for the
United States and our allies to
encourage the royal unity, and
to attempt, as much as we
practically can, to bend its
growth in the right direction.

Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, on the eve Of the Presi-
dents budget appeal, to cut
$3.50 million more of the
budget Of the United States
Information Agency, now
headed by Arthur Larson who
has come to be known as "Mr.
Modern Republican" On top
of a previous cut Of 1921 mil
lion by the House, this would
leave him with $90.2 million as
contrasted with Sal million
recommended in the Eisen-
hover budget, II sustained
later by the Senate.
Come the 1860 Republican
convention, 1t is possible that
the wing Of the party with
which President Eisenhower
Identifies himself could win
there. as 1t has won every con-
vention in recent years. But
II Old Guard Republicanism
continues to be dominant in
Congress. as 1t has been for
years, 1t will give the party
that celebration again before
the people. That sort of Re-
publicanism, as we know, lost
favor with the public a long
time ago, and Republicans
were able to recapture the
White House only when they
went outside the party and
imposed a popular war hero
at the top to carry the banner
and concealed the party be-
hind that glowing front. The
general. however, will no longer
be available in 1860.
The aim Of the Eisenhower
wing Of the party TO modern

enough of the Eisenhower
program through Congress to
give the party q modern Re-
publican" look. Here the
President and his wing are
under several handicaps. One

Seldom has a President

to bring pressure on Congress
faced as many obstacles as
President Eisenhower.
The parallel that comes to
mind is the last previous Re-
publican President - Herbert
Hoover-who was totally I'M
successful. A significant
similarity is that each, politi-
cally speaking. came to the
presidency as an outsider"
one from business, though with
long administrative expert
ence in the cabinet. the other
from the Army. Neither had
a background of practical po-
litical experience which Presi-
dent Eisenhower is finding a
hindrance right now, as Her
bert Hoover found out a quar-
ter OF a century ago.
While the big Eisenhower
budget is the immediate issue,
1t has become the issue in a
much bigger battle, and the
President will learn that. That
Is the battle for control Of the
Republican Party. In that
battle the real arena now is
not "the people" to whom the
President appeals, but the
party in Congress which Is not

view Of the men In the Krem-
lin, the indifference Of many
Americans to the true facts
and the gullibility of many
people in this country to the
snares of Soviet propaganda
are making it easier for Mos
COW.
The Soviet government is
spending billions for propa-
ganda throughout the world,
whereas Congress is still
arguing about a few millions
that the United States in
formation agency wants. The
Democratic leaders in Con-
gress. for example. ask the
officials of the USIA to testify
as to why they need money.
After they have spoken for
hours trying earnestly to de-
scribe the intangibles in the
situation. the same Democratic
leaders profess not to have
heard q word.
The sniping goes on daily in
the partisan field. Time is
given to trivialities. The Dem
ocrats act as If, when in
power. they themselves ap-
pointed only career men in the
foreign service and never gave
an ambassadorship to a cam
paign contributor. Judging by
the pious statements issued by
some De ocrats recently
about the qualifications Of the
new Ambassador to Ireland.

pointed by a Democratic adj
ministration to be minister to
Luxembourg after the widest
kind of experience in the for

Yet the Senate takes time
to argue these petty matters
and now shows its partisan
teeth by threatening to with
hold funds from the Post
Office Department. This could
result in the closing down Of
the postal service on week
ends and put the administra-
ton in a hole. The Democrats
