WILLIAM S. WHITE
COP. and Its Absent President

so after even an hours exam
ination Of political history.
There is an almost un-
broken relationship between
g. o. P. victory and high
farm prices and G. o. P. de-
feat and low farm prices.
Even if the strictly farm
population be considered now
to be only 10 per cent Of the
total, 10 per cent can mean
the difference between success
and bankruptcy in any enter
prise, including any political
enterprise.
The President has no in
tention to adopt a more at
tractive farm program. If
he also continues not to be
in position to give real di-
rection to domestic policies
IN general, this may be pre-
dicted: The Republican pres
idential ticket of next year,
whoever is on it, may point in
vain to the peace" the
G. o. P. has won-if it has
actually won that peace.
Indeed, it may turn out
that there is something after
all to this notion: That a
Presidents place is in Wash
ington where he can keep
daily and hourly in his own
hands all the complex skeins
of the infinitely complicated
job of national leadership.

BIth-ControI Issue Unfair to Some;
EvosiVeness Ascribed to Others

The principal moral casu-
atty thus far in the birth con-
troll controversy is American
elective politics. President
Eisenhower and the candi-
dates to succeed him of both
parties and whatever religion
are showing an eagerness to
get rid of the issue of the
world population explosion
on almost any terms. The
ubiquitous Vice President, Mr..
Nixon, cannot be reached for
comment, nor can Senate
Majority Leader johnson.
One shining exception ex-
lists. He is Senator Syming-
ton. Missouri Democrat. He
said briefly and plainly that
he approves of "the Govern
ment's furnishing of planned
parenthood information
abroad where it believes that
such action would be to the
interest Of our country"
Sen a tor Symington, an
Episcopalian, thus stands
forthrightly with his own
church and with the thought
of organizations and individ-
ualS concerned d with the
growth of population beyond
national economic capacity.
His ties with that group re-
fleet his background, and not
even his present great am
bition, which stands in good
case today, persuaded him to
turn his back on it.
The dedicated men and
women who in good con-
science have long sought to
bring the issue into the area
Of public discussion will be
grateful to him for his de-
scription of their policy as
pla nned parenthood. The
phrase may perhaps always
be too long for a headline but
1t reflects the element of
choice, not regimentation,

Is Castro Doomed by Reds?

1t has taken the Commu-
mist amoeba almost a year.
But it now has surrounded a
desperate Castro whose follies
and inability to govern or
administer have given the
Communists opportunity to
play to his desperation and
to wheedle him into decisions
and courses which they know
will destroy him. This, in
deed, is what they want. And
the ghoulish thing is that his
brother Raul is working with
them.
This is a situation with q
Cain-Abel potential. AS soon
as a Fidel Castro dead and a
martyr will be of more service
than Castro alive and losing
his power to inspire, the Com
muniSts will assasSinate him.
A good guess is that even now
Castro is doomed. Only the
time for the deed is to be
determined.
Castro has named Mai.
Ernesto Guevara as head Of
the Cuban bank. Guevara
denies Communist Affiliations.
But he assisted in placing
Communists in charge of the
Arbenz government in Qua
temala and he now leads the
Communists and fellow trav-
cling leftists who have Cas-
tro in their hands as they
had Arbenz.
Guevara has no banking
experience. The Bank of
Cuba will now almost surely
be nationalized. There will
be a step-up in anti-Amer-
lea abuses. The revolution
will soon devour Castro. and
Guevara or Raul Castro will
try to use the army to attain
the presidency. Fidel him
self is next to be devoured.

which they seek to bring to
their proposed solutions.
Senator Symington's re-
marks stamp him as one rival
toward whom the very ap-
parent bitterness Of Senator
Kennedy cannot be fairly di-
rected. The Kennedy COM
plaint-"Why single me out
for comment?" - is a fair
challenge to the politicians
who want to have it both ways
by using words to conceal
their thoughts.
Senator Kennedy knows
that temporizing statements
by Adlai Stevenson, a Unitar-
ian, and Senator Humphrey,
a Congregationalist, have
political overtones. So do the
friends OF such men. A very
important person recalls that
the President, himself, before
he became President COM
planned bitterly about the re-
fusal of American politicians
to face population problems
realistically.
Now the President, while
conceding that overpopula-
tion is almost an explosive
world problem" sees the
planned parenthood solution
as a moral issue. Nations
which want to do something
about the situation, he said,
should turn to professional
groups, not to government"
for help. This is a neat out
for the same politicians who
were so recently the targets
of his Scorn.
AS the history of prohibi-
ton amply illustrated, there
is nothing new about the fact
that cowardice tends to be
the occupational disease of
politicians. In that case some
Protestant churches, chiefly
Methodist and Baptist, were
the religious groups which

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Necessary Neglect of Domestic Scene
Held Boding No Good for Party

A new and drab reality of
increasing danger to the
Republicans in 1860 is rising
while President Eisenhower
travels the globe for the
shining objective Of peace.
No sensible man would try
to alter the Presidents pri-
critics. An end to the cold
war is surely the highest
possible necessity. But is
there wisdom in the Presi-
dents decision to go out
personally all over the world
in search of this prize?
For this, too, cannot be
denied: There is a still-faint
but spreading cloud over this
country's economic skies.
And If this small darkness
overhead is allowed to grow,
it could change the whole
conditions of next years
presidential ca mpaign-
quite apart from being very
bad news for us all.
Profits and employment
are high, it is true. Some
able business forecasters see
1860 as a year of fabulous
boom. But even a layman,
with any recollection of the
past. can see that there are
distinctly soft spots in this
happy picture.
Farm income continues
down. BY mid-November it
had fallen to the lowest in
19 years. The cost of living
continues to go up. An ad-
ministration which had de-
clared a halt to imitation to
be its supreme domestic goal
is simply not coming close
to that goal. Imitation is a
growing rather than a lessen
ing peril.
And the present schedule
for prolonged presidential
absences from this country
in the months ahead-first,
the current world tour, then
Evening star., 1959-12-04

the various near-summit and
summit conferences-means
one thing for certain: The
boss is not going to be around
to mind the store, the store
Of our domestic affairs. The
burden will now fall upon
secondary administration fig
ures. However able, they
haven't the power to act
either decisively or quickly
in the economic field.
This means, in turn, that
the domestic programs which
ought to be made soon at
the level of the White House
itself will not be made soon,
If at all.
The farm situation pecu-
liarly illustrates the great
emerging problem for the Re-
publicans, both in terms Of
1860 election politics and in
terms Of the country's basic
welfare. The administrations
unchanged policy for re-
duced farm subsidies may be
absolutely right" as an aca-
demic economic matter. But,
on all past experience, it
simply will not work, either
to keep the COP in Office or
to keep national prosperity
high.
A new school Of experts, to
be sure. contends that the
farm vote, and the farms in
fluence on total prosperity, is
less and less important be-
cause of a shrinking farm
population. They tell the
G. o. P. that it need not be
driven by fear. political or
economic. to placate the
farmers.
All who wish to embrace
this theory are welcome to it.
But all who put their money
on it would be less ready to do

the peoples Of the world that
the United States pursues
only "materialistic goals" and
puts war above peace" The
mere fact that the President
referred to such unjust de-
scriptions Of American pur-
poses reveals that he is fully
conscious Of the very mis-
representations carried on by
the Soviets which make mu-
tual trust difficult Of attain
ment.
The President pointedly
emphasized Americas fun
damental belief in a Creator
who has endowed all men
with inalienable rights. in
cluding life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" He
did so by way of contrast
with a system that teaches a
disbelief in God. incidentally,
Mr.. Eisenhower referred for
the first time to "atheistic
Imperialism" Speaking of
the ideals behind Americas
mutual security program"
the President declared:
I'm a world sorely troubled
by an atheistic imperialism,
it (the mutual security pro-
gram) is a strong inStru-
ment of hope and of en-
couragement to others who
are eager, with us, to do
their parts in sustaining the
human spirit and human
progress"
Mr.. Eisenhower did not
make any direct reference to
the Soviet government by
name, but everyone who
heard him knew What he
had in mind. Another i'm
plicit comment was con-
tanned in the following par
agraph later on in the Presi-
dents address:

Death Seen When He Is Worth More
As q Dead Martyr Than Alive
RALPH McGILL

When news came that the
Castro government had re-
moved Felipe Pazos as head
Of the National Bank Of
Cuba, I remembered this in
telligent, educated man who
had been one Of the staunch-
est in the making of the re-
volt and It's victory.
In the early months Of the
Castro triumph I talked for
three hours with Felipe Pa
zos. He was a revolutionist.
and a sincere one. He be-
lieved there could be a gov
ernment in Cuba which was
not corrupt. He also knew
there were a few Commu-
nists in the army and gov
ernment. But they did not
occupy strategic positions.
The Castro regime was not
communistic. The Catholic
and Protestant churches sup
ported it. being sickened by
the horror Of the Batista
butcheries and corruption.
Felipe PaZos is an able
man, experienced in banking
and economics. He is we'll
known in banking circles in
this country. He knew that
Cuba, lying close below the
United States, had an econ
omy which had to be tied to
its neighbor.
"Give us time" he said, as
we talked. "Fidel is an
inspiration. But he is not a
man for details. You do not
make a revolution and then
attain immediate stability.

it are probably in the public

how much or how little the

DAVID LAWRENCE

President Eisenhower's
speech to the Nation. deliv-
cred over television and radio
tust before his departure on
. 22,000-mile journey in the
Eastern Hemisphere, was a
unique example of what might
be called implicit rather than
explicit expression. 1t was
purposely couched in general
phrases. 1t was pacific n
tone, but it nevertheless car
ried words of warning to the
Soviet Union. The man to
whom the words were di-
rected will not fail to know
what is meant.
Thus, for example, the
President called for good
faith on the part of Nikita
Khrushchev, but didn't de-
fine it in specific terms. Here
is how Mr.. Eisenhower put
it:
IT shall try to convey to
everyone our earnestness in
striving to reduce the ten
sions dividing mankind-an
effort first requiring, as in
deed Mr.. Khrushchev agrees,
the beginning of mutual dis
armament. OF course, I will
stress that the first require
ment for mutual disarma-
ment is mutual verification."
The phrase mutual veri-
flcation" would mean a mu-
tual obligation to tell the
truth. 1t would mean that
truth must be clearly estab-
lished on controversial sub
Jects before there can be
mutual agreement. But what
ever specific meaning the
President had in mind, it
will be interpreted widely as
a declaration that there can
be no progress toward mutual
disarmament without mutual
trust.
Mr.. Eisenhower devoted
some of his speech to the
task Of countering the Soviet
propaganda in Asia and Eu-
rope which constantly tells

it to be free Of former
restrictions which seemed to
us unfair and which also
made it difficult for us to
abandon our one-crop curse.
But we will work it out. We
need time"
1t was a good, honest talk
and a convincing one.
In memory, too, was a talk
with Manuel Ray Rivero.
He is no radical of the ex-
treme left, though he had
helped make and believed in
the Castro revolution. He had
been perhaps the most sue
cessful construction engineer
in the country. He was min
lister Of public works. Without
question, he, too. was honest.
dedicated and no part Of a
Communist.
DR.. Faustine Perez was
minister for the recovery of
property illegally acquired by
the Batista corruptionistS. He
was one Of those who landed
with Castro on December 2,
1856. Only IL survived to see
victory. DR.. Perez was a
patriot whose love Of Cuba
and hopes for her future
were inspiring.
All three of these are now
ousted and given meaningless
jobs. The revolution Is con-
Stunning it's litter.
AS long as these men and
their associates were in the
government, 1t could not be
accused, it was by many, Of
being Communist dominated.
1t was not. It has not been.
The Communists didn't even
join the revolution until they
saw it would win. This was
about a month before victory.

LETTER
Dear Mr.. President:

Lear MT. fTcSluenJ.
II is my duty to inform you
that the steel negotiations are
deadlocked. From all present
indications. steel furnaces will
be banked this week end and
the mills shut down at 1901
am, July /. 1859. The United
Steelworkers Of America does
not want q strike; the Ma
ten does not want steel pro-
duction shut down.
The impasse between the
parties is such that the i'm
pending shutdown may well be
prolonged unless a way is
found to resolve the issues in
dispute.
We respect your expressed
position that the Federal Gov
ernment should not interfere
with the actual bargaining
process. The final settlement
should be and will be made bs
the parties themselves. In this
situation, however. the Gov
ernment. short Of intervening
in collective bargaining, can
provide some method TO help
facilitate collective bargaining
You yourself indicated In your
press conference on June II,
1883. that an appropriate
method might well be for the
Government TO bring out the
relevant economic facts. The
parties in this dispute are In
total disagreement as to the
facts. The public Is under
