1t seems odd that various
newspapers throughout the
country have wholeheartly
welcomed the Vinson-Arends-
Kilday Defense Department
reorganization bill, while here
in Washington. where the
need should be the most
acutely realized. little has
been written since the first
flourish. Why is there such
indifference? Are we will
ing to ''live with" this cum
bersome giant rather than
think out a realistic solution?
Are we willing to pas
sively ignore this need for
change and choose not to
support these three distin-
guished Congressman who
are willing to risk all types
Of back-stabbing criticism
and verbal blasts to fight
this fight for us? Whether
We wish to recognize the real
meaning Of this fight is itself
q challenge-this is a battle
between the idealiSts and the
realists. Perfection may have
its rightful place, but not
when 1t is carried to the point
where 1t is endangering nur
country with its long, pur-
poseless Journeys into fan
taSy.
We want to save money
and increase efficiency, but
we are not satisfied with the
present Defense Department
methods Of elaborate layers
Of administrative checks and
balances which always end
the same way-endless in
vestigations and reports. II
we want to save monye. let
us pare reports and the EEK
perts" who PROFOUND them.
Let the fighting men return
to the business Of achieving
a readiness to fight and not
have them sacrifice their
energies in drill and redrill
as paper experts.
/. We had better consider the
gravity Of this giant growth
Of paper empires; this may
be our last chance to wipe
out this red tape dragon be-
fore 1t completely snarls and
chokes us.

Many people in Washing

make another entrance, f1n-

Soviet Sincerity

AS pressures mount in the
West for summit talks with
the Soviets, it is well to keep
in mind the fundamental
precepts of Communist ideol-
ogy. Unless and until the So
VETS abandon their supreme
goal of world conquest. any
real understanding between
East and West will remain 3
mirage.
According to Communist
theology and as evidenced by
the 40-year history of the
Communist regime, the So
viets stand ready to make or
break any agreement. prom
Use or compromise as suits
their purposes. Viewed in the
larger historical perspective,
Soviet propaganda for peace,
disarmament and coexist-
ence are mere tactical moves,
the "zig-zag" course pre-
Scribed by Lenin. intended to
lull the free world into q
greatly desired but equally
false sense Of security.
The true test of Soviet
sincerity in the proclaimed
desire for peace and coexist-
ence would lie in a renuncia-
ton of those parts of their
own theology which are fun
damentally inimical to the
very goals for which they
claim to strive. since their
theology serves them not only
as a general program but as
q concrete and practical
guide to action.
Peaceful coexistence can
not be maintained in a di.
vided world when a funda-
mental doctrine of one party
is that peace can be estab-
lished only after the liquida-
ton of the other party. Nor
can peace be maintained
when the theology Of one
glorifles violence. hate, de-
ceit and q unitarian con-
cept of morality which allows
that only those things which
serve its cause are good and
permissible. The Soviets may
have peaceful coexistence or
they may have their Commu-
mist theology. but they can.
not have both.

THE POLITICAL MILL
= By GOULD LINCOLN
G.O.P. Uniting to Win California

Senator William F. Know
land, who few to California
last week end to file for the
gubernatorial nomination, has
returned to his duties as Re-
publican leader of the Sem
ate, undismayed by Demo-
cratic claims of victory.
When the time arrives-after
Congress adjourns-the Sen
ator will return to his native
State for the ard-hitting
campaign of which he is ca
pable. He is highly respect
ed, and political observers in
California say he will wear
well" as a candidate against
Attorney General Pat Brown,
slated to be his Democratic
opponent.
One thing is certain. SEN
ator Knowland will have the
whole-hearted backing Of
Vice President Nixon, and
Mr.. Nixon will campaign Wig
orously for him. Indeed, the
Vice President will support
the whole Republican ticket,
which includes the winner
of the Republican senatorial
nomination-probably Gov.
Goodwin Knight. who is ia
vored in a race with Mayor
Christopher Of San Francisco
for that nomination.
The desire to hold Cali
fornia in the list of Repub-
lican States in the 1858 elec-
tions, as we'll as their indi-
vidual interests, is driving the
@. o. p. leaders closely to-
gether for the fall campaign.
Senator Knowland has said
he will support Vice Presi-
dent Nixon for the G. o. P.
presidential nomination in
1960-if he (Knowland) is
not q candidate himself. If
the Senator wins in his race
for Governor next fall, he
may well be the choice Of
many of the so-called con-
sentative wing of the Repub-
lican Party for the presiden-
tial nomination two years
hence. However, Senator
Knowland has again and
again said he hoped to serve
a full four-year term as Gov
ernor if elected. Also it is a
fact that the conservative
wing of the party has failed
to nominate a presidential
candidate since the days OF
Harding and Coolidge.
Nixon Has Strength
AS of today, Vice Presi-
dent Nixon has amazing
strength with the rank-and-
file Republicans. as well as
with party leaders, for the
1860 presidential nomination
A Nationwide public opinion
poll-the Gallup poll-re-
Gently released, shows that
"a per cent of the Republi-
cans answering favored Mr.

Dorothy Thompson recently
resurrected the old DOGGY of
Moscow and its relationship
to Israel.
The effort Of Moscow to
get a foothold in the Middle
East is as old as Russia it
self. and the possible threat
to the security to the State
of Israel by Moscow is only
one Of the many techniques
on the part of Moscow to gain
this foothold.
Miss Thompson quotes from
the pro- Communist Morning
Freiheit in support of her as
sertion that there is in the
making a rebellion within
Israel by a so-called Jewish
Arb Communist Party The
Freheit is practically MORT
bund and is on the verge of
folding because of lack Of
readers; and so far as the
So-called Jewish Arab Com
muniSt Party is concerned,
they have only six members
out of the 100 in the Knes-
seth; four Jews and two
Arabs. The two Arabs and
their small following profess
their allegiance to commu-
niSm not so much out of love
for Moscow as their hatred
for Israel.
Miss Thompson atten- pts
to paint a frightening picture
of what would take place if
Israel should invoke the Ell
senhower doctrine" Would
she deprive Israel of the
benefits of this doctrine and
in the same breath have
supplemented the Eisenhower
doctrine in case the Arab
countries should be threat
ened by Communist-domi-
mated attacks? I am sure that
she knows that if Russia

attempt a foothold in the
Middle East through military
action. it would do so not
with its own soldiers but with

so-called Arab League whose
record for military accom-
plishments is not very i'm
pressive.
