stream of events, calmly record

tons with clinical detachment.
The reader is aware, rather, of
the authors close and vital rela-
tionship to his subject, of his deep
interest in things Southern from
days of earliest aWareness; and
one is left with the impression
that Epitaph For Dixie consti-
tutes no mere academic inquiry,
but is most accurately seen as a
life set down in the form of
ideas.
Final mention needs to be made
concerning Harry A h m ore S

Guilty. Ashmore wisely refrains
from over-stressing any single
condition or tendency as forming
a basis for the South's troubl-
ed ill-health. Neither does he take
a place among the confused pha-
lanx of 'isms"; one finds it diff
ficult to identify him as integra-
zionist or segregationist, liberal
or reactionary. In his avoidance
of partisan commitment is Harry
Ashmore's strength. When the
forts of ''isms" fall, his voice will
be heard among the ruins, quite

Book Review .

Of this unobstructed vision in
Epitaph For Dixie. It forms the
basis for the crystal-clarity of the
arguments there offered, and en-
ables the author to delve beneath
the surface of present conflicts to
the more complex factors which
play so important part in all
our problems in this region. Ash
more contends, for example, that
"sinple racial prejudice is only a
part (of the southern mystique).
Pride is involved, and the sur
prisingly durable memories OF a
lost war. The aristocratlc tradl-
tion,- grossly corrupted but never
finally abandoned, is major ele-
ment in the compound. And it IS
sustained by the Southerner's re-
markable capacity for unreallty

is the same 1ucidity of perspec-
tive that informs Ashmore's anal
ysis of economic factors underly-
ing current racial conflicts. "The
fact is" he concludes after dis
cussion of new industrial trends,
ssthat the dominant economic in
terests in the New South i. not
only are engaged in any calculat-
ed effort to keep the Negro in his
place, but are providing a signifi-
cant counterbalance for the in
cendiary activities of the Citizens
Councils and the reborn Klans."
But these few suggestions of
Ashmore's hard logic can hardly
do justice to the impact made by
the book when it is taken as a
whole. Certainly one of the fea-
lures that lends conviction to the
work is the fact of the authors

Wdtch On The !
POTOMAC
by
poh% O. C,{vack
Robt. G. Spivack

WHY THE DEMOCRATS WON
The best clue to Republican
misunderstanding of the mood of
the American public on Election
Day came in President Eisen-
hower's press conference OF Nov.
5. The big issue, as he saw it,
was "this money spending by
the federal government. He in
weighed against the "spender
wing" of the Democratic Party.
Aside from the matter of tn e
President not having his facts
straight and even putting aside
the historical tendency to vote
against the party in power In
term elections, the cost OF
government clearly was not the
big issue in the public mind.
When the President says the
COP is going to fight to win the
1860 campaign from this very
day" forward he may find the
results somewhat approximate to
1932-if the Republicans follow
old Herbert Hoover's political
philosophy.
Did national issues play any
part in the election? The answer
obviously is yes, although per
sonalities, local problems, tactic
al errors and the awkardness of
some public figures on television
also swayed votes.
You could not have a Demo
cratic sweep that extended from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and
even affected the State of Yer
mont without it having deeper
significance than mere mid-term
restlessness. Commenting on the
complete reversal from 1856 the
President added:
g. l do not see where there
is anything that these people
(you and me-RGS) consciously
want the Administration to do
differently. And, if I'm wrong,
I'd like to know what it is . :"
The results would indicate
rather clearly that the President
is wrong. In what way?
From the manner in which one
liberal after another was swept
to victory in Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, yes, and in New York, it
would seem to me the American
public still wants government
with a heart. They are not look
ing for a tighter purse string on
Pennsylvania Ave.
WHO GETS ALL TIL A T
DOUGH-? The President bemoans
government spending without
noting that it was in his peace
time Republican Administration
that the cost of government
climbed to an all-time high. The
President even tells us that $50
billions long-term government
bonds have to be paid off this
year plus 500 billion in short
term notes. We also have to raise
another So billion in federal
revenue. He forgot to say the ma
tional debt has achieved new
record.
But even more important he
did not mention one of the prin-
cipal reasons for the high cost
of government bonds: his Adj
ministration's policy of paying
high interest rates to the COM
mercia1 bankers. This is the So
