THE POLITICAL MILL
Modern RepubIiconism Pays OFF
By GOULD LINCOLN

Modern Republicanism"
has paid of in New York.
President Eisenhower carried
the Empire State by a million
and a half votes over his
Democratic opponent last No
vember. The Republicans next
year will try to regain New
York's governorship. Unless all
signs fail they will pick as
their candidate a man who
measures UP in the matter of
modern Republicanism to Eli
senhower and to former Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey. For IL
years Mr.. Dewey gave the
State an effective and pro-
gressive administration. Incl
dentally, he was one Of the
earliest supporters Of Eisen-
hover for the presidential
nomination in 1852. As the last
Republican Governor. Dewey
remains a powerful figure in
the G. o. p. in New York.
The Republican State chair
man. L. Judson Morhouse, does
not mince words when it
comes to support of modern
Republicanism as exemplified
by President Eisenhower.
Speaking in New York last
week Mr.. Morhouse said that
President Eisenhower's policies
"have kept us out Of war and
given us prosperous times"
He added: This is my kind
of Republicanism and you can
tag it with any adjective you
choose. ] can't help but
note the incomprehensible in
consistency Of those who ac-
cept and enjoy modern hous-
ing. modern highways and
transportation, modern schools
and the modern standard of
living. but bride at the men,
ton Of modern Republicanism
which. after all, is a kind of
Republicanism that has made
ours the majority party in New
York State and the party that
is now most attractive to the
new generation Of young Amer
leans"
Already Working for 1858
Morhouse. one Of the most
aggressive and Woodworking
Of the younger Republican
State chairmen, is already
building his fences for q sue
cessful 1858 campaign. Indeed,
he works at building the Re-
publican organization day in
and day out throughout the
year. 1t is not beyond posi-
bility that Mr.. Morhouse may
be the Republican candidate
for Governor himself, although
he has never admitted as much
publicly. and when asked prob
able candidates for that NOM
ination he insists there are any
number Of excellent prospec-
tive candidates. And he men,
tons Leonard w. Hall, former
Representative and former Re-
publican National Chairman;
Senators Jacob X. Javits and
Irving M. Ives; Nelson Rookie

u. S. A. Tomorrow

It is unlikely that any projection
OF Americas future could be more genu-
inely impressive than its past. And yet
the population growth, the economic
expansion and the progress toward new
horizons that has come about through
industrial and scientific research have
been so tremendous in the past decade
that all signs point to even more amaz-
ing attainments in the near future.
The Republic Steel Corporation has
charted some of these potentials in an
unusual book entitled ~. s. A. Tomor-
row." C. M. White, Republic chairman,
explains the effort effectively in these
words: This is no Operation Crystal Ball.
We've taken the best opinions we can
get, reduced them to common denomi-
nator, and divided them by a factor of
caution. The result is neither a predic-
ton nor goal, but yardstick to meas
ure the potential Of this country In the
years Immediately ahead Some Of the
measurements, for 1865. follow: Gross
national product will reach $500 billion
vs.. $500 billion in 1855. Annual capital
outlay for plant and equipment will reach
~OV ull1lOIl NS. S0O DlkI1Uu ldSC year. AuJO~
mobile sales will be averaging million
yearly. Fo ritS part, the steel industry
probably will have expanded to an annual
capacity Of 100 million tons-a ten-year
increase of about 20 per cent.
The Republic book describes this new
decade as "the years of decision" in which
we must demonstrate maturity as a
nation-not merely In the sense of
growth, "but of Judgment and sanity"
To meet the challenge, It also specifics
some yardsticks-among them constant
expansion and improvement of the edu-
cational system, development Of scientists
and engineers, industrial training at all
work levels, increased productivity, Gov
eminent policies that must be conducive
to confidence and responsibility In
management-labor relations"
Today's forecasts often make inter-
esting reading tomorrow. Republic has
drawn q bright picture, but it would be
q courageous pessimist indeed who would
deny that 1t Is beyond the reach of a
richly endowed nation.

ARLINGTON. Va.

Dear Sir:
In despair I am writing you
in an effort to save a natural
wildlife refuge. just to the
north Of South 18th street,
between Eads and Ives streets.
I am in despair because / think
nothing can be done. land
prices being what they are.
There is an excavation of
about 400 feet at the above
mentioned place. This is filled
with young trees. grasses and
weeds. Also, during wet periods
a stagnant pond is to be found
therein where ducks from
the United States Refuge come
to visit.
I'm May. June and July the
bobwhites will sound their
calls. perhaps for the last time,
as this old brick making area
is being filled with factories,
apartments, etc. All kinds of
native small birds use this
area.
II feel this is a hopeless sit
uation but I thought you might
see a ray of hope.
yours very truly. q. g. M"
To learn how to face hopeless
situations is one Of the real
aims Of life.
Growth Of large cities means
an end of such little paradises
as our correspondent talks
about.
Every suburban neighbour
hood has similar tales to tell.
Out our way, there was q
swimming hole once, and we
talked to a man who bathed
in 1t as a kid.
Even when we moved there,
in 1880, there was q sort of
natural pond-also alive in
wet weather-where the hylas,
or spring peppers, held forth.
We loved to listen to them.
1t has been estimated that
one Of these small creatures
can be heard for two miles on
a clear night and 1t was easy
to believe.
Our com m u nifty, about
three-fourths Of q mile from
the District line. had cows
and chickens then, always
signs Of real rural life.
It is true there were not
many cows left.
On still evenings, 1t was
possible to hear one or maybe
two Of them lowing In the
distance.
There was a pony Of sorts,
stabbed in the rear Of O yard

He was owned by q boy

old popular song.

the electoral vote Of New
York. Furthermore. New York's
huge delegation at Republic
can National Conventions has
a major voice in deciding the
Republican presidential NOM
ination-which is something
for potential candidates for
the G.. o. P. nomination in
1860 to remember.
New York will elect q Mayor
this year. It's many a long
year since the G. o. p. held
the mayoralty of New York's
greatest city. Its closest VIC
tory came in the election Of
the late Mayor Fiorello La
Guardia-a fusion candidate.
Mr.. Morhouse, however, is hop
ing for a political miracle
next November, and believes
that his party, if it selects a
capable candidate, may pro-
vide a surprise for the Demo-
Gratis who are pining to re-
nominate Mayor Wagner.
Hartman in Strong Position
Democratic Governor Averell
Hartman has announced he
will seek denomination and re-
election. That he will be re-
nominated seems entirely cred
ible. He is in a strong position
and he will have the backing
again Of Carmine G. DeSapio,
Tammany leader and New
York's Democratic National
Committeeman. What Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt, jr., may
do In q political way next
year has not been disclosed.
In 1854 Mr.. Roosevelt, then a
member of Congress. sought
the gubernatorial nomination
but was defeated by Harri-
man. Later he ran on the
Democratic State ticket for at
torney general. His friends be-
lieved that he would make q
better showing on the ticket
than Hartman. 1t did not
turn out that way. Hartman
was elected Governor, though
by only about 10000 votes,
and Roosevelt was handily
defeated by the now Senator
Javits.

Fornoso Riot

AS additional information comes IN
on last Fridays anti-American riot in
Taipei, 1t seems clear enough that this
was an organized, not spontaneous, up
rising. There have even been suggestions
that the sacking of the American EN-
bassy and the USIA headquarters was
engineered with the tacit acquiesence, II
not the outright encouragement, of ele-
ments Of the Chang Kai-shek govern
ment.
1t is difficult to follow the logic of
this last suspicion. For Chang Kai-shek
and the men around him have every
thing to lose and nothing to gain by
alternating the United States. And the
GeneralisSino has indicated his aware
ness of this by his prompt moves to
punish those whom he holds responsible
for the rioting and also by the apology
and offer Of compensation which have
come from the Nationalists.
From the American point Of view,
however, this, II true, certainly Is far
from reassuring. For the remaining in
ference is that lower-echelon Nationalist
organized the riot with the enthusiastic
cooperation Of hostile people. And the
police, in police state, did virtually moth
ing to stop 1t, while Nationalist troops,
said to have been on a maneuver, were
four hours in getting to the scene.
Although this was by far the most
serious outbreak Of anti-Americanism in
Taipei, 1t is by no means the first time
that Americans have been insulted and
threatened by the Chinese. Nor are these
manifestations peculiar to FormoSa. The
same thing has happened in many other
countries where American troops are or
have been stationed. All Of which makes
us wonder whether we have not chosen
the wrong way to win friends and infiu-
ence people.

returned to his native England

is fed UP with "Ameddica." He
can find no suitable place to

eat ham or cheese sandwiches
and quaff warm beer in peace

is lousy. he implies. and for
reasons not particularly clear.
he compares American motor
cars with the Tai Mahal. So
be 1t.
But-lucky chap-let's speak
Of him and the many things
he must now be enjoying. Quite
likely. he has already treated
himself to a glass Of warm
beer. Certainly he has pur-
chased a pack of British cigar

you had just swallowed a 10

Other goodies await him. too.

can turn out a Yorkshire pud-

Reckless Gamble

President Eisenhower con-
tends that cutting the foreign
aid budget would be a reck-
less gamble with our peace
and freedom. Ike could point
the finger at himself If he
wants to find q reckless gam
bier.
Ike proposes to send sos
million to Red Poland and
Jet planes to Red Yugoslavia
on the reckless hope that these
Reds will use this aid for our
interests and against their fell
low Reds in Moscow. Ike is
willing to go it alone on these
CANDLES without even a yes, no
or maybe from Congress. This
is reminiscent of Roosevelt's
bunch about giving Uncle Joe
Stain whatever he wanted
and everything would be
hunkey-dory after World
War II.
Ike also wants to turn over
tons Of atom bomb ingredients
to an international agency be-
yond American. control. And he
sends stooge Stassen to Lon
don to work out some darn
fool scheme for disarming
our country. More rash gam
bles.
But Ike's most reckless
gamble which cost America
dearly in world prestige and
support was his trip to Geneva.
A special study mission Of the
House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. made up Of three Re-
publicans and three Democrats
unanimously reported after a
trip through the Middle East
and South Asia in 1855 as fol-
lows:
In this tense and critical
period. the efforts Of the
United States to aid the legiti-
mate ambitions Of the peoples
of the Middle East and South
east Asia were seriously weak
ened by the holding of the first
Geneva Conference.
1.-THE nations of these re-
gions were deeply concerned
about what appeared to them
to be an about-face in the
attitude of the Western
powers toward Soviet Russia.
They were shaken by the ap-
parent readiness of American
leaders not merely to accept
peaceful co-existence.' but to
strive for friendly intercourse
with Communists"
