Quiz Whiz' FoH Is Believed Creating
Personal and National Soul Searching

it was in political forums
where the unmasking went
on. Hiss was first brought
to book by the House Com
mittee on Un-American Ac-
tivities. Van Doren - for
whom this correspondent has
great pity-made his total
confession before the House
committee investigating the
TV industry.
All over Washington-and
surely all over the country,
too - men and women now
heatedly discuss the moral
and practical issues raised by
Van Doren. Much of this talk
runs to extremes, and is per-
haps not too relevant, either.
There is. usually, either a
damp sentimentalism toward
this unfortunate young man
or else a desire to hang him
over and over to satisfy the
presumed thirst Of "televi-
sion land" for a kind Of
serialized revenge.
This country, as one Of
the congressional investiga-
tors remarked, is against
corruption but in favor of
compassion to any who call
for mercy. Perhaps. there
fore, the genuine issues here
are larger than Charles Van
Doren, as years ago they
were far wider than Alger
Hiss. Both men are actually
important mainly for posing
these questions:
Haven't we, as a whole Ma
ton, gone very far toward
the unstated creed thai
nothing is so important as
winning, no matter how?
And haven't we. as a Ma
ton, wholly failed to grasp
the unique gravity of the
terrible offenSe of perjury?
In a sense it is the most
destructive of all possible
crimes.
No one with eyes and ears
halfway open can have missed
this fact: There is less and
less respect for what used to

The tragedy Of Charles Van
Doren has not been altogether
in vain. For 1t has stirred the
American people to look into
themselves and into our ma
tional life as nothing has
done since Alger Hiss.
Though there are vast diff
ferences in the two cases.
there is also much similarity.
Hiss real. If improved. Of
fense in the public's mind was
betraying his country's Sc
crets to Communist agents.
But his m asurable and
proved offense against the
law was perjury. Van Doren's
real offense, in the public's
mind, was betraying its trust
in him as a representative OF
education and culture. But it
is not really unlawful to be a
TV "quiz whiz." even a
phony one. Again, his meas
urable offense, against the
law itself. was perjury-lying
under oath to protect himself.
And there is another par
aliel of a poignantly human
sort. Both young men COM
mitted a crime of faithless-
ness which is not mentioned
in any law book but is a very
serious one all the same.
Both had privilege and po-
sition. They were men, there
fore, who failed in the spe-
cial duty and responsibility
they owed to a country which
in separate ways had honor
ed them so much.
Hiss held important Office
in the State Department.
Van Doren had high respect
from a people which was
proud of him and, sadder
yet, fond of him. And both
were perhaps a bit arrogant
while the going was good.
A political correspondent
should write about all this,
for nothing could be more
deeply political in meaning.
It touches the whole tone
and direction of public life.
Moreover, in both instances

when an order to terminate

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4 (AP) ;.
Vice President Nixon bor-
rowed a page from former
President Harry S. Truman's
campaign book on how to win
friends and influence voters
yesterday.
He took a folksy stroll around
Beverly Hills and:
Discussed sports with con-
struction workers. visited a
brokerage Office, kibitzed with
a lady supporter, joshed a
waitress and ate a hamburger.
Mr.. Nixon also met with Re-
publican leaders in his hotel
suite and had lunch with rela-
tiveS.
Last night he told an audi
ence of 1000 that "commu-
nism is doomed to fail.
"Non-PoliticaP' Vacation
"Mr. Khrushchev is wrong.
Communism is not the way OF
the future. Man needs freedom
and a Supreme Being"
Mr.. Nixon spoke at a banquet
honoring the 18th anniversary
of the Rosary Hour" radio
program which seeks world
peace through prayer.
1t was all part of his six-day
vacation, which his aides say
is non-political.
On his visit to the brokerage
Office. he met sales representa-
tive Joe Turner and agreed to
talk on the phone with Mrs.
Turner. He didn't identify
himself at first. He told her:
UnrecOgnized by Waitress
I'm at the brokerage bar
I've been out with your hus-
band all night. Maybe you'd
better send a cab for him"
Not fooled in the least, Mrs

Speedup'in Trend of Public Support
Away From Steel Industry Seen

no regard whatever for the
public. Neither the indus
try nor the union cared at
all that the inflationary i'm
pact of their agreements
caused prices to rise with
the speed of flushed quail.
In the, present stalemate,
the industry at first had sub
stantial public backing be-
cause, it said with truth, any
settlement requiring price in
creases would be inflationary.
But much of this public sup
port has been draining away
as the strike dragged on.
Some doubt has developed.
The President, by a
friendly comment on the
Kaiser settlement, will cause
an acceleration of this
change in public opinion.
The Kaiser formula theo-
retically would work in this
fashion:
When q strike impendS, a
committee would be set up
which would contain outside
economic and social experts.
This is a revolutionary ac-
ton.
1t brings into labor-induS-
try relations what so many
of our practical" men de-
nounce angrily as the egg
head and the professor. The
Kaiser formula was firmly
rejected in public by United
States Steel - and angrily
denounced in private. For
