Alabama Governors Move at This Time
Is Surprise for Senator's Bockers

Senator Kennedy has not
given up his hope of those
Southern delegations which
supported him for the vice
presidential nomination in
1855 in the hope Of beating
Senator Kefauver.
Replying to the initial
opinion Of some that the
Endorsement by the Governor
Of Alabama would hurt their
chances In Northern States.
Kennedy supporters say the
question of civil rights never
came up In his discussions

declare Senator Kennedy's
position on civil rights is
sufficiently secure that Gov.
Patterson's Endorsement will
not change liberal judgment
Of their candidate.
What the Governors de-
cision will do politically in
Alabama is another question.

years ago were being de-
nounced as character assas-

called McCarthyism. Many
of the liberal Senators were
lined up against Lewis

The most charitable inter-

1t was a personal feud, and
that where human forgive

Gov. Patterson broke the
pattern OF a well-laid plan
when he blurted out his in
dorsement after a trip to
Washington during which he
breakfasted with Senator
Kennedy. The plan had been
that he would wait a year
before making his indorse-
ment and then ascribe his
choice to grass-roots Senti-
ments he had ascertained.
His early-bird choice was
q matter of establishment to
other politicians in Alabama
and elsewhere. Democratic
ernors generally have
been going to great lengths
to avoid a choice in the pres
ent fluid situation as among
the Democratic candidates.
In States which have pri-
maries some are preparing
to avoid the necessity Of
making a choice right down

Of running as favorite sons

others for this sacrificial
post.

The Japan South Korea Crisis

The Kishi government.
which processes to stand by
the free nations Of the world
and indirectly participated
in the war against the ag-
gression from the north by
providing the personnel and
supply base during the three
year campaign, overlooks the
fact that 1t grants a de facto
II not de jure recognition Of
the Pyongyang puppet by its
agreement to deliver the
Koreans from Japan. 1t also
knows that the prospects Of
these Koreans actually re-
naming in North Korea are
very slim. They, like their
fellow countrymen who live
under the Communist yoke,
will eventually be deported to
China to man the vast prof.
ects Of the Peiping govern
ment which needs as many
slave laborers as possible.
These reasons make the
Seoul government adamant
in its decision to prevent.
even by force II necessary,
what actually amounts to q
deportation of its citizens
into slavery to the enemy.
There is an additional fac
tor little mentioned in official
reports. The overwhelming
number of Koreans in Japan
are former forced laborers
brought there under the re-
gime of the war lords. The
ROK government insists that
when they are repatriated
the Tokyo government should
pay not only their transpor-
tation but also Just indemni-
ties. This might be a sizeable
sum. The sale" Of these hui
man beings by Japan to the
Communists would not cost
the Japanese treasury Q
plugged nickel. And taIs is
the important inducement
which has SO far led the
kishi government to turn a
deaf ear to the protests from
Seoul and the advice from
Washington against this
modern slavery action.

The recent statement OF
the Japanese Foreign Min
lister that "the voluntary re-
patriation of the Korean
residents in Japan" to the
puppet regime in the North
had nothing to do with poll
tics but was merely a hui
manitarian move" is ascribed
here to the top Japanese
diplomats somewhat sinister
sense Of humor.
The Tokyo government
claims that some 1l7.000 Of
the GIL. 900 Korean residents
Of Japan have signed petit
tons to be sent to North Ko-
rea. There are grave doubts
about the correctness Of this
figure. According to informa-
ton in the possession Of our
authorities, the Communist
dominated Federation Of Ko-
rean Residents in Japan has
approached a sizeable num-
Der of people (most Of them
illiterates) and suggested
that they thumb-sign a petit
ton to return home" Since
81 per cent Of the Koreans in
Japan were brought there
shortly before and during
World War II from southern
Korea, the word home"
meant to them South Korea.
And they enthusiastically
agreed to that.
Moreover. the reported
117.000 who are alleged to
have signed these petitions
were told by the representa-
tives of the federation that
they would receive employ
ment with far better pay
than they get in Japan and
also comfortable h o m e S.
These promises were alluring
and the petitions were COW
cred with the thumb-print
signatures of some rs per
cent of the Korean residents
Of Japan.

every case this alternative
would be in plain Net no

thirds majority to do that.
And the Democrats have not
got two-thirds and could

through occasional tricky

The second and thus
far-outnumbered Democratic
congressional group is made
up mainly of advanced lib

purpose is to force the Dem

One Of the most tragic cpl
sodes in the entire history Of
the United States Senate is
the fight that was waged to
prevent the confirmation Of
Lewis L. Strauss as Secretary
Of Commerce.
It is tragic because 1t was
based on q personal feud.
When hatreds become deep
seated, they sometimes pro-
duce far-reaching cleavages,
with emotion substituted for
reason.
The dispute was the out
growth Of friction between
Mr.. Strauss and Senator
Clinton Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico. When the
former was chairman Of the
Atomic Energy Commission,
he rubbed Senator Anderson
the wrong way.
The New Mexico Senator
is chairman Of the Joint
Atomic Energy Committee in
Congress. He is influential
with his colleagues. Many
sided with him--as members
of the senatorial club often
do-without particular re-
gard to the merits Of a ques-
ton but with greater regard
for the wishes Of a fellow
Senator.
Senator Anderson's home
State-New Mexico--is the
seat of the atomic labora-
tories where many scientists
are gathered. Some of them
were embittered over what
they believed was Mr.. Strauss
animosity toward j. Robert
Oppenheimer. the scientist
whose clearance" was denied
$ for security reasons by a pres
idential board. While Mr..
. Strauss was not a member Of
: this board, he did present to
the White House the charges
that led to the inquiry. 1t
: was natural that many Of
Senator Anderson's constitu-
ents should expect him to do
what he could to punish Mr..
Strauss.
But this wasn't all of the
controversy. It couldn't be TO-
cused on the Communist issue
alone. 1t so happens that Mr..

Break in For Eastern Defenses Feared
If Tokyo Sends Koreans to Red Area

While the attention Of the
Government and public is
focused on the Geneva
merry 60 round, a crisis
which could seriously impair
our Far Eastern defenses Is
developing with hurricane
speed in that area. 1t is
caused by the determination
of the Tokyo government TO
''repatriate" some $1,000
Korean residents Of Japan TO
North Korea.
The South Korean govern
ment--the only one recog-
nized by all the free nations
of the world. including Japan
opposes violently the ar
bitrary action OF the Kishi
administration. To empha-
size its opposition, the Seoul
government last week broke
of trade relations with Japan
at considerable cost to its
economy. These we're the
only official relations between
the two governments on
which Washington Is relying
for the solidity Of our North
Pacific defenses.
The State Department feels
that 1t cannot intervene
openly and officially in this
dispute which threatens to
disrupt for keeps the South
Korean Japanese relations.
But unofiicially Ambassadors
Douglas Macarthur II in
Tokyo and Walter C. Bowling
in Seoul have been instructed
to do their utmost to prevent
a permanent break.
There is nothing much
that Mr.. Bowling can do In

raw and unwarranted that

The argument now going
on ostensibly between Con-
gress and the President over
so-called spending bills is not
really over economy" as
such. It is not basically an
argument between Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. And
the fact that this Is a d.
vided Government. with a
Democratic legislature and a
@. o. p. Chief Executive. is
not the fundamental point,
though 1t does sharpen the
struggle.
The true heart of the mat
ter. instead, Is a dispute
which pits Democrat against
Democrat and one set of po-
litical tactics against another
set.
The thus-far-controlling
Dem oeratic congressional
group is headed by the
party'S moderate Texan lead
ers, Senator Lyndon B. john
son and House Speaker Sam
Rayburn. But it numbers
many others who are neither
Texans (nor other Southern
ers) nor unduly moderate.
Some in it are conservatives.
some are liberals. But 1t Is
not built on ideology; its one
truly common factor is that
Of an association Of skillfI'
professional congres sional
politicians. most of them vet
Grams.
These professionals believe
that the highest necessity Of
this Democratic Congress is
simply to perform; to get
housing bills and the like
passed and actually signed
into law even II these bills
must be smaller than they
would like. They want the
