armament is a risk this coun-

Atomic Disarmament Confusion

Being sage politically. they
see still another thing. 1t is
that while the public gener-
ally seems indifferent or up-
aware, the extremes In opin-
ion are beginning TO seize
upon the issue and may make
1t very much harder for the
President and Congress to
be wise.
For example. within the
week the Daughters Of the
American Revolution are
crying for an extreme form
Of nationalism and no con-
tact with the Soviet Union,
while pacifist groups move
up with demands to stop ali
nuclear testing.
With rare frankness, Chair
man Lewis Strauss Of the
Atomic Energy Commission,
and the Presidents personal
adviser on atomic matters,
has told the subcommittee
that 1t is "a matter Of opin-
ion. a matter Of belief,
whether nuclear tests can be
detected"
Admiral Strauss and his
favored scientific adviser, DR..
Edward Teller. are the firm
est voices opposing the end
ing of nuclear testing. 1t is
because this is so that Sem
ator Anderson has again
called UP the question OF a
blatant Acc error operating
u favor Of the Strauss
Teller point Of view.

Victory Seen Depending on Getting
More Republicans to the Polls


Andersen Of the LIST district
Of Minnesota. The Republi-
cans fell OF 81 per cent on
the vote for CONGRESSMAN as
compared with their vote In
the same district In 1866,
while the Democrats polled
only 24.3 per cent less than
their 1855 total. Similarly. In
the 1857 special election In
New Jerseys I'd district
the Republicans dropped SIS
per cent from their 1856 vote.
while the Democratic drop
was only 1875 per cent.
Normally. the percentage
OF those who stay away from
the polls In years when there
is no presidential election Is
about the same In both par
ties. and that is what hap
pened In New Jersey this
week.
The disgruntled Republic
cans this time had q good
reason to vote. They had, In
Robert Morris. former coun-
sci Of the Senate Subcommit-
tee on Internal Security. a
candidate who stood for their
point Of view. He had not
previously been identified
with Republican politics In
New Jersey and was not well
enough known TO poll q big
ger vote this time. The big
question now Is whether the
successful nominee-Repre-
sentative Robert Kean-can
unity his party and bring the
disaffected Republicans to
the polls. Many observers
think he can do 1t and can
thus enable the Republicans
TO hold on TO their Senate
seat in New Jersey this year.

the same everywhere else In

have suffered a deep cleavage.

moreover. are inclined to
harmonize more readily than
Republicans. and 1t is a safe
bet that organized labor
groups will indorse Mr.. VIII

opposed him in the primary.

There are many lessons 10

primary election In New

Is one Of national significance
which is OF paramount con-
Germ 10 the Republican Party
throughout the Nation.
For II shows the overriding

that confronts the Republic

10 the polls the millions Of
conservatives and non-radi-
calls who have been inclined
20 stay at home because they

The New Jersey primary In
the Republican Party was a
three-man race, but there
happened 10 be running an
able conservative - Robert
Morris-who exemplifled the
viewpoint Of many disanected
Republicans In the State.
He polled more than $4,000
votes. II any considerable
part Of this bloc had stayed
at home. the Republicans
would not have made the ex-
cellent showing they did in
the total vote.
Thus the Republicans
polled Ala per cent Of the
vote they had in the sena-
torial election Of 1854. while
the Democrats came up with
40.8 per cent. This Is about
even-up. but It represents q
very significant gain for the
Republicans as compared
with the showing they have
been making In recent special
elections in other States. In
the Wisconsin election In
August, 1857, the Democrats
got 69.4 per cent Of the SEN
atorial vote they had in 1856.
whereas the Republicans
polled only IS per cent. To
put 1t another way, IS per

other by the Governors and
the Democratic National
Committee. Each has q wholly
different notion as to how to
proceed with the job to which
both are devoted.
The gubernatorial-
committee wing thinks that
Mr.. Nixon can be taken"
only by a highly liberal Dem
ocratic candidate running on

fined issues.
This wing speaks for nearly
all avowed Democratic liber-
ais. These include the COM
paratively small band Of party
liberals In Congress who are
unhappily out Of step with
the majority OF their more
conservative Democratic col
leagues there.
Most Of the congressional
wing thinks Mr.. Nixon will
not be beaten by a man. or
by one, two or a handful Of
issues.
The way to do it, these
politicians reckon. is to run
against Nixon not so much q

and the whole complex Of

This country's most sig
niflcant current political de-
bate Is not between the two
parties, and IL is not yet In
public. 1t is going on. sub
surface but with a rising po-
tential of bitterness, among
two sets Of Democrats.
The basic issue is unusu-
ally complicated. And it is
being grappled with very
forehandedly, since the ulti-
mate decision will not be
made for two years and
more.
The argument is over how
the Democrats should deploy
strategically against Richard
NJ Nixon, the almost certain
Republican presidential no.
minee in 1860.
Certainly not in decades
perhaps not ever-have the
Republicans centered so early
and so maSsively on a pro-
spective candidate so disliked
by each and every faction Of
the Democrats.
Thus, there is no acute
problem Of maintaining Dem
ocratic loyalty. If party
loyalty is to be equated with
earnest opposition to Vice
President Nixon. then prac-
tically all Democrats, South
ern and Northern. may be
depended upon to be au-
chemically regular"
Sometimes the hardest
Democratic task has been
simply to convince the rank
and file that the Republican
nominee really ought to be
beaten. Large numbers Of
more or less faithful Demo-
Gratis would not adopt such a
dogma in 1852 or 1856. But
this time there is a more
subtle Democratic problem:
How shall the Republican
nominee be defeated?

KremIin Seen Aiming to Destroy West
By Dumping Goods at SIoshed Prices

There are increasingly
significant indications that
the master minds Of world
communism In the Kremlin
are really expecting 10 wage
peace for . long time 10 come.
Moscow's policy-makers. led
by the crafty Nikita Khru-
shchev along the path OF
peaceful coexistence." claim
TO seek an understanding
with the West that will avert
the possibility OF armed con-
fiict for the immediate fu-
ture. But there is, as usual.
q trap.
Being hard realists. indeed,
the Communist leaders want
10 avoid a shooting war be-
cause they are completely
aware Of the inevitable results
Of nuclear warfare. They
realize clearly that. no matter
what damage they could in
fiict on the free world, they
themselves would also suffer
devastation that would In all
probability wreck their system
along with their motherland.
But these disciples Of Marx
and Lenin also cling stub
bornly TO their preconceived
dogma, which facts must
never be allowed TO alter.
Particularly do they accept
without question the inevi-
liability Of a showdown be-
tween communism and free
dom. One or the other must
win. one or the other must
dominate the world. There
is no room In their think
ing for q world Of genu-
Inc peaceful coexistence."
Either communism or free
dom must destroy the other.
Therefore the Khrushchev
plan is TO destroy the West
with an economic war. Bank
ing as usual on the Commu-
mist axiom that depression
must inevitably occur in
capitalist societies, they
look forward to a great eco
nomic offensive, aimed at the
underdeveloped areas Of the
world and particularly at
such potentially powerful ma
tons as India, and at such
potentially wealthy areas as
