Sugar Ray,

The additional two-month grace

here Saturday:
"A March fight with Robinson

Disarmament Task Held Too Importont
To Be Upset by q Tactical Mistake

Harold Stassen is riding
much too good horse in dis
armament to be unseated by a
tactical error. Fear Of the H

Of modern arms are combining
to give the Stassen assignment
an irresistible appeal.
No politician as sensitive to
public opinion as President
Eisenhower would want to give
even an impression that a rela-
lively minor matter was being
allowed to slow down the pres
ent negotiations. Nor is it
practical to replace a negotia-
tor except for errors so flag
rant they amount to confession
that he is foredoomed to fail
ure.
What seems to have hap
pened Is that Stassen. an in
corrigible eager beaver. in his
anxiety to keep things in mo-
ton. handed the Russians a
copy Of American proposals
before this country's NATO
partners had agreed on them.
The partners denounced this
to the State Department; Sec
rotary of State Dulles-with
what enthusiasm it can be
imagined - has reprimanded
Stassen.

fortunate because Stassen had

The foregoing will be quoted
again and again to point out
that the Supreme Court in
reversing the separate but
equal" doctrine three years
ago just didn't have any new
facts but decided to go along
with the trend of the times"
Justice Frankfurter in his

on judicial principle, and he
adds: Legal doctrines are not
self-generated abstract cate
gories. They do not fall from

Looking up in the dictionary
the word "etiology." one finds
it means custom" which
makes the phrase mean Judi

the Supreme Court certainly

proved themselves also in the

All those who have seen
Senator johnson operate" on
and of the floor agree that he
is an able Senator and a skill
full parliamentarian. In his
manifold endeavors he has
not had time to pay more
than superficial attention to
the Communist methods of
operation. But he does realize,
after watching Khrushchev's
recent TV performance. the
propagandist's ability to gloss
over the real issues and tram
quilize the uniformed. when
he has the floor all to him

idea of strictly enforced

AS a matter Of fact, in the
struggle for world domination
through coexistence, the Com
munists do not depend so much
on the appeal of their theology
as on the apathy Of the OPPOSE
ton. Judging by some reac-
tons in this country. the Soviet
boss has appealed to the pro-
fesSional Communists only.
But he has also had some de-
gree of appeal to the apathetic.
We hear frequently the
present struggle between the
subjected and free world de-
scribed as the battle for the

curate. Many Americans have
ideologies. but America her
self has not. An theology is a
pat set of rules. The freedoms
enjoyed under our ConStitu-
ton cause our citizenry to be
respectful of the differences
among one another. These
constitute an ideal and not an

The Reprimond for Stossen

The atmosphere in the Sem
ate today with respect to the
issues at stake has Just been
illuminated by the rather I'M
likely flgure Of Senator James
Eastland Of Mississippi. East
land Is the symbol Of unyield-
ing opposition to civil rights.
He is also chairman Of the
Senate Internal Security SUBJ
committee. which has dis
placed the House Un-American
Activities Comittee as the
favorite hate Of liberal opinion.
An announcement came from
that subcommittee last week
that 1t would investigate what
1t called the Communist con-
nections Of DR.. Linus Pauling,
the scientist and Nobel prize
winner. in promoting petitions
for q ban on H-bomb testing.
When Eastland learned Of it
he was outraged and not Just
because Committee Counsel
Robert Morris had once more
acted without Eastland's au-
thority.
The Senator from Mississippi
assured his colleagues that he
had no intention Of allowing
side issues to interfere with

and . solution for the problem
Of fall-out. What he might
think Of DR.. Pauling was one
thing. he said. but he wanted

favored q debate by leading
Soviet and American political
figures on television or radio.
Being a successful politician
and campaigner, he may have
felt that he could spread his
own kind of oratory better
and thicker than KhruShchev
& Co. The Texan, who has
dispensed many tranquilizers
during election campaigns and
sold" so successfully his own
personality to the electors, did
not at first realize that he was
not in the same league with
the Communists, who are po-
liticos and not politicians.
There is a world Of differ
ence between the two. They
are past masters at selling
a line" in the harassed free
world. which looks these days
more toward trade with any
body in the market, rather
than toward the preservation
of its democratic ideals. This
mercantile motive induced the
free nations Of Western Eu-
rope, after communism was
established in Russia at the
end of World War I, to resume
full commercial and diplomatic
relations with a regime they
themselves labeled as a group
of gangsters and murderers.
Only the United States held
out for 16 years. This despite
the outcries from our bankers,
importers and exporters that
the then Republican admins
trations caused them to lose
a golden opportunity to trade
with a country of ITS million
people lacking all kinds Of
consumers goods. 1t was only
in 1888. when President Roose-
welt came into Office, that full
recognition was extended to
the "gangsters and murderers"
in the Kremlin, with utterly
insignificant consequences to
our foreign trade but with
tragic consequences to our
national fabric.
