NEW DELHI.-Despite her cor
dial relationship with Communist
China. India is under no illusions as
to the nature Of the Red regime
there or the stability of its economy.
Reports being received directly
from China and from members of
Indian delegations which, have Wis
tied that country all confirm that
the Peiping government is having
serious troubles.
These reports have it that not
only mas economic planning fall
tered. but the political indoctriua-
ton Of the Chinese people has
failed to make its mark. New Delhi
hears that revolts in various parts
of China have been brutally
crushed, "diversionists" are being
warned to end their activities and
youngsters are being urged to spy
on their elders.
The most significant report to
come out of China recently has
been made by two members Of the
seven-man delegation which went
there on behalf Of the Indian Plan
ming Commission to study Chinese
agricultural co-operatives. They are
F. N. Rama. Bombay States regis
trar Of co-operatives, and B. J.
Patel. general secretary of the ALI
India Co-operatives Union.
Mr.. Rama and Mr.. Patel stress
that the Chinese agricultural CO.
operatives are neither voluntary
nor democratic" Chinese agricul-
tural. policy. they say. emanates
from a "dogmatic political philos-
ophy which can only be carried
out by an undemocratic political
apparatus"
Fear Is the Weapon
The two delegates quote the
Communist Chinese Agriculture
Minister Lao as having told them
that, as a class, rich peasants could
not be converted by persuasion"
and that having seen the "elimina-
ton" Of the landlords. the rich
peasants were afraid Of meeting a
similar fate.
They recall a statement by former
Peiping Finance Minister Pc Yi-po
that 2 million bandits" were liqlh-
dated during 1949-1952. In China,
their report says, it is usual to
group bandits and landlords.
This failure Of agricultural policy

Time to Consider

The committee gave Mr.. Beck
and the Transfers until May "a
to reply to the charges. This will
be four days after the meeting Of
the AFL-CIO Executive Council,
which otherwise might feel a duty
to decide whether the whole Team
ster Union should be suspended
from the parent group. The Team
sters apparently now will have time
to clean up before their September
convention, If they want TO. Their
failure to act then could be the
basis for suspension action at the
AFL-CIO convention In December.
A rank and file upheaval within
the big union before the September
convention would be hard to ac-
complish. however. because of the
large number Of Teamster locals
in trusteeship. This device assures
Mr.. Beck and his friends OF a large
bloc OF loyal convention delegates.
since officers and representatives
OF local In trusteeship are hand
picked by the hierarchy.

The Outlook for 1853

Cyril Bastian. a former Speaker of
the Assembly.
New Jersey. Bets on this sena-
torial race won't be placed until
after this November's gubernatorial
contest. If incumbent Gov. Meyner
wins with heavy vote. Democratic
chances Of unseating 77-year-old
H. Alexander Smith are enhanced.
Probable Democratic candidate will
be former Representative Charles
Howell, defeated in a close race in
1854 by Senator Clifford Case.
New York. The last time out for
the Senate in 1852. Senator Irving
Ives ran like greyhound. but two
years later. when he ran against
the politically naive Averill Harri-
man for Governor, he lost. Senator
Ives big advantage next year is
the lack of Democratic candidates.
New York Mayor Robert Wagner.
who had been considered a likely
candidate, recently announced that
he was only interested in another
term in City Hall.
Pennsylvania. Incumbent Edward
Martin is not seeking reelection.
Democrat Joseph Clark was elected
to the Senate here last year by a
narrow margin while Mr.. Essen.
hover swept the State. The Demo-
Gratis believe they have another
good bet in the person of Gov.
George Leader. But the Republic
cans have no front runner as vet for
their nomination.
West Virginia. Last year Chan
man Revercomb. with heavy back.
ing from the G. o. p. National
Committee. upset Gov. william C.
Marland to win the two-year term
left vacant by the death of Demo-
crat Harley Kilgore. At the same
time the Republicans were electing
their first Governor since 1928 and
picking up two of the six House
seats. If this shift was a basic
political realignment. Senator Rev.
ercomb will be hard to beat next
year when he seeks q full term.
Democrats mentioned for the NOM
ination include Mr.. Marland and
Representatives Robert c. Byrd and
Harley o. Staggers.
Nobody is making any bets on
what will happen in Wisconsin in
1858. Much will depend on the
results Of the special election which
will be held to fill the seat left
vacant by the death Of Senator
Joseph r. Mccarthy. Whoever wins
this interim term would seem to
have an inside track next year.
There are Is other States which
elect Senators next year-nine of
these are now Democratic and will
probably remain so: Florida (Spes-
sard L. Holland, Massachusetts,
John F. Kennedy. Mississippi
John ~Stennis), Missouri (Stuart
Symington), Montana mike Mans
field, Tennessee albert Gore,
Texas Ralph Marlborough. vir-
ginia Harry F. Byrd and WASH
ington Henry Jackson.
The remaining nine are Repub-
lican and. as of now. appear safe:
Connecticut william A. PurtelD.
Delaware John j. Williams), Maine
Frederick G. Payne is not a can
dldate for reelection, Nebraska
tRoman L. Hruska), North Dakota
william Langer. Ohio John w.
bricker). Utah arthur v. Wat
kins). Vermont (Ralph E. Flanders)
and Wyoming Frank A. Barrett).

Democrats

New Mexico. Dennis Chavez will
be seeking his fourth full term in
the Senate. Senator Chavez will
suffer from tug of war for control
of the States Democratic Party.
Last year Republican Edwin L.
Mechem unseated incumbent DEM
ocrat Simms in the gubernatorial
race as Mr.. Eisenhower swept the
State.
Rhode Island. John o. Pastore
will be prime Republican target
next year. The Republicans charge
that their candidate for Governor.
Christopher Del Sesto. was counted
out by the courts last year in favor
of incumbent Democrat Dennis
Roberts. That verdict is believed
to have hurt the Democrats with
the independents. However, Mr..
Del Sesto now indicates he won't
seek the governorship in 1858 but
rather will oppose Senator Pastore.
While many observers think he
could win the State House. there is
general agreement that to oppose
Senator PaStore would split Mr..
Del Sesto's basic Italian vote.
Democrats, sensitive to criticism,
are already revamping their party
with Woodworking Representative
John Fogarty in line for the gov
ernorship candidacy on q team with
Senator Pastore on the SO ticket.

failed to make the grade. In IS
others the President carried, the
@. o. P. did not even have a candi-
date to grab for the coattails.
The II districts that switched
to the Democrats in 1856 House
races were wearing coattails inside
out. Though Mr.. Eisenhower i'm
proved on his 1852 showing in more
than two-thirds Of the Nations dis
tricts, his share Of the vote was
down from 1852 in all but one of
the districts captured by a Demo-
cratic Representative in 1856. The
exception was in Maine, where the
presidential and congressional cleo
tons were held on separate dates.
Republican candidates in these
10 districts might argue they got
less assistance from the President
than they expected. But the fact
is that the President was down an
average Of 6.6 per cent in these 10
districts. while the G. o. p. House
figure was lat per cent below its
1852 mark.
Coattails were even less of a fac
tor in those districts that first
switched parties in the 1854 con-
gressional election.
The II districts that elected Re-
publicans to the House in 1852.
then voted Democratic in 1854 and
1856. all favored the same presi-
dental candidate in 1856 as they
had in 1852. Eight of the districts
even gave Mr.. Eisenhower a higher
share Of the vote in his second
race, but that did not shake the
Democratic Representatives hold
on their newly won seats.
Some 0uteoined the President
On the other hand, the five Re-
publicans who first took seats away
from Democratic Representatives
in 1854 and held them in 1856 out
gained the President in their dis
tricts. One Of them. Representative
John F. Baldwin, jr., Republican
Of California. even managed to
pick UP and hold a seat in a dis
trict that went for Stevenson in
both 1852 and 1856.
What kind Of districts were they?
The five that first switched Re-
publican in 1854 included two small
town districts in the Midwest and
big cities like st. Petersburg,
Tampa, Dallas and the San Fran
cisco Bay area. Negroes and indus
trial workers were numerous in
three Of them. farmers in only one.
The three House seats the Re-
publlcans picked up in 1856 were
in Eastern cities with plenty OF
factory workers. few If any farm
ers. None of the three had more
than 80 per cent Negro population.
The II districts that first switched
Democratic in 1854 were spread
from Virginia to Oregon, included
seven rural and small town areas,
sections and suburbs of Chicago,
Baltimore. Boston, Detroit, Kansas
City, Portland. Milwaukee and New
York. Three Of them had more than
10 per cent Negro population: in
five districts more than one-fifth
of the workers were farmers.
The biggest city gained by the
Democrats in the II districts they
picked up in 1856 was Stockton.

Red-haired Meade Alcorn is now
criss-crossing the Nation in an eff
fort to spark the Republican Party
to a victory in 1858 it couldn't ac-
complish last year with the MASTER
vote-getter at the head of the tick
ct, namely, control of the United
States Senate. G. o. p. National
Chairman Alcorn, a practical, real
istic attorney, must shudder when
he looks over the early odds on
next years Senate contests. They
are 2 to / against the Republicans
regaining control.
The Democrats nave the advan-
tage because of the number of seats
at stake and their geographical To-
cation. While there are only IL
Democratic seats up next year. the
Republicans have 81 on the block.
Six Of the Democratic seats are in
southern and border States, and
only five in the North and West.
However, additional vacancies, al
ways a factor to be considered,
might bring the elections into a
closer balance.
Out of the 80 Senate races, IS
may be regarded as real contests.
Eleven of these are Republican
seats. two Democratic. Although
there are many obvious dangers in
handicapping a political race 18
months in advance, the Is vulne-
rable races show up this way:

Indio Hears Reports Thot Red Chino
Has Economic and Political Troubles

has been confirmed by the Commu-
mist Chinese themselves. Peiping
Radio recently admitted that Mus
Inns in the Khotan area of the
Sinkiang- Uighur autonomous region
rose in revolt to wreck the collec-
Invitation movement. Peiping's
Land Reclamation Board has re-
vealed that of 200 state-owned
farms surveyed last year. II showed
deficit.
The Communist Chinese economy
is under heavy strain. Ofiicials here
have noted that this was admitted
by Vice Premier Chen Yum q few
weeks ago. The main troubles
which have befallen the Peiping
planners are the shortage of raw
materials and growing imitation.
The shortage of metals is so
acute that the new motor industry
would receive this year only half
the amount of steel which it
planned to use. Coal deficiency is
having a paralyzing effect on indus
try. And coal production cannot
be easily expanded because of the
shortage of timber needed for pit
props. The timber shortage affects
all other departments of construc-
ton.
The New China News Agency has
now complained that district and
county administrative officers are
"aimlessly plunging into the de-
velopment of industrial constr.lc-
ton and failing to consider the
question of material resources for
production"
'Bock-to- Lond Drive
Communist China seems to be
suffering from certain disillusion-
ment about industrialization and
at the same time acutely concerned
to ensure a bumper harvest. New
Delhi has found interesting an ar
ticle in the Peoples Daily. offlcial
organ Of the Peiping Regime, which
urged teachers. pupils and parents
several weeks ago to cooperate in
the "back-to-the-land" movement.
It also asked science and engineer
ing graduates to "avoid undue In
dividualistic tendencies" and not
to refuse inconvenient assign
ments.'

scarce. The latest hit is the States
Councils decision to cut the cloth
ration by at least Is per cent be-

A Holland
Queen
Is Visitor
BY DAISY CLELAND


A new Netherlands Ambas-
sador was in Washington Just
for the day yesterday but in
no way is a replacement for
Ambassador van Rotten.
She is q tall pretty Dutch
lass with reddish blond hair,
green eyes that sparkle,
named Miss Augusta de
Zoete, who claims the title
Of 1857 Dutch Tulip Queen.
"Gussie" de Zoete Is in the
United States on q good viii
tour and she has o product
to sell. In her own words.
I'VE want to sell things to
the world that we know how
to grow best-and bulbs are
one"
On her first trip to Amer
lea, Miss de Zoete met mem
bers Of the press yesterday
at the Statler Hotel, and at

English. she could give any
American politician under
fire some lessons.
The unaffected "Ambassa-
dor" with q keen sense Of
humor appeared in Dutch
native dress which she de-
scribed as q Volendam cos
tune. This comes from the
city Of Volendam and was
colorful from the handmade
peaked cap to the wooden
shoes. The latter Gussie ad-
mitted she never wore in
daily life in The Hague where
she comes from and added
upon questioning: mo, they
haven't hurt my feet, yet"

Miss de Zoete has q Job in
The Hague that win be a help

Asked as to how she was
selected for this honor-did
she have to dance, sing and
appear In a bathing suit as

Miss de Zoete answered with
. laugh. mo. but then I
think it was q little cold for
that" She added that it was
q double honor, for In Hol-
land we take royalty seriously,
and there is only one Queen"
In speaking Of her hobbies,

photography and skin diving.
She said she planned to take
