Rockefeller Feels COP, Pulse

1t is. indeed, true that at
Green Bay Wednesday morn
ing he said he completely
disagreed" with the late SEN
ator's methods and would
have voted to censure him.
Some Of Senator Nc
Carthy's admirers curiously
have raised the Rockefeller
banner. 1t is understood this
is more in protest against
Vice President Nixon and
President Eisenhower for
failing to stand by their hero
than in warmth for Gov.
Rockefeller.
49, The Governors fortnight
comment on Senator Nc
Carthy is typical of his han
ding of all the controversial
issues which cut in different
ways in the States he has
visited than they do in New
York. He has been firmly
against segregation in the
Southwest; before Roman
Catholic audiences he has
stood by his position that if
the United States should be
asked for birth control in
formation by another coun-
try. the information should
be given.
Gov. Rockefeller did toss
this oil-producing area a very
juicy bone. He favors the
2712 per cent oil-depletion
tax allowance and would not
propose lowering it. A Tulsa
newspaper sweetly COM
mented that he talked like a
man who knew something
about the oil business.

In Paris, there is for the
President an end to cheers.
We come now to the brass
knucks stage.
The grim features of reality
rarely so much as smile. Be
hind every chair at the petit
summit" of the Allies will
stand, like Banquo's ghost,
the shade of self interest.
There is De Gaulle, who
does not want a united
Germany for the blunt reason
that such a Germany would
be too strong. 1t would again
greatly overshadow France
in work, production and
armed might. But reality
causes him to know that West
Germany, as presently con-
stituted, is a powerful asset
and will need France as a
friend.
Also of the four leaders,
only De Gaulle has an admit
ted sense of destiny. My one
memory of him is seeing him
in Paris in January, 1945, not
long after that magnificent
city was liberated. There was
everywhere then a sense of
exaltation. The air was thin
with the excitement of dwell
ing on the high plateau of
great events and of danger
and achievement shared. He
walked among us as an
auStere and humorless man,
even then, who walked with
his head high as if he felt
himself far above the mad
ding crowd. He seemed, then
as now, to be hearing other
voices and to be needing only
them, impatient with those
who sought to interrupt.

UNIV Chief Louded as Good Bad Type
In Struggle on Behalf of Miners

bination of Old Testament
prophet, 20th-century Shake
speare and male Joan of Arc.
But in every waking moment
for 40 years he looked after
his people. He never, never
let them down.
And he had another quality
not common in labor leaders.
He would hit a mine operator
with any weapon at hand, in
a labor dispute. But far from
hating the mine owners, he
actually loved them in his
way. Or, more exactly. he
never allowed his differences
with them to blind him to a
central fact. This was that
the coal mines had to make
money before his own people
could make money. There
never was a better coal sales
man than old John L.
There is a bitter saying
that the self-made man has
all too often done a demon
Strably poor job Of it. John
L. was one self-made man
who, in the big things, did
an excellent job of it.
Naughty. his haughtiness did
not extend beyond his own
business. Other labor lead
ers have sometimes thought
themselves anointed direc-
tors not simply of union
policy but of foreign policy
and all the rest.
Old John L. never tried to
decide what really should be
done about Afghanistan; he
never wrote solemn mani
festoS about the real mean
ing Of Indian neutralism. But
he sure did try to decide
what should be done about
pay and working conditions
in the coal pits.

Cure Worse Than Disease Seen
In u. S.-Run Stations or Dictution

unless the available channels
were allotted. The Govern
ment's role was that Of a
traffic cop. 1t set out to
regulate the transmission of
broadcastS through the iSsu-
ance Of licenses and the
ALLEGATION of channels. But
nobody thought at the time
that this covered the preroga-
tives of ownership. Certainly
the traffic departments of the
States and cities do not have
to own all the autos and
trucks whose movements they
regulate, in order to avoid
collisions and other accidents.
Unfortunately, the Su-
preme Court Of the United
States swallowed the So
called liberal doctrine
which in reality, if followed
to its logical conclusion,
often becomes totalitarian-
and began issuing rulings
that indicated wider and
wider governmental powers
over radio stations. Instead
of constituting the Language
of the Federal law as mean
ing control over mechanical
conflicts in the air, the ex-
ecutive agencies concerned
were told to regulate radio
licenses on a broader basis.
The clause in the law cover
ing public interest, con-
venience and necessity" was
interpreted to mean that the
Federal Government has the
power to go into program
quality, qualifications of
owners and sundry other
questions that are never
raised when Government
contracts are let in other
fields.
The recent agitation over
quiz shows and scandals now
seems to have opened the way
for the Government-owner-
ship school to call for the ex-
ercise of more Federal au-
thority. There are suggeS-
tions. for instance, that the
Government should go into
the field Of education by set
ting up broadcasting stations
with Government money.
Some Of the pressure groups
which have been trying to
get more and more Federal
funds for schools claim to
be opposed to Federal con-

DAVID LAWRENCE

Television and the press
have been performing an
extraordinary service in
bringing so quickly to the
American people the pic
lures of President Eisen-
hower's trip abroad. No other
generation of Americans has
been able to get so promptly
a visual presentation of
events of such international
Importance. This is due
largely, of course. to inven-
tion-the electronic tape that
records voices and pictures.
the cable lines that now
transmit photographs almost
instantsneouSly, and the air
plane that brings films back
to America in a few hours.
But there is something else
involved - the alertneSS of
private enterprise. The COM
petition in the press and
among broadcasting COM
panies-televiSion as we'll as
radio - inspired the news
managers who did the plan
ming weeks ahead of time.
Yet today there is talk Of
Government control of the
mediums of expression. There
are champions of Govern
ment ownership of a radio
network and advocates of
Government dictation on how
programs on public affairs,
educational subjects and
everything else, including the
most highly controversial
questions, shall be handled by
TV and radio.
The concept is advanced
that the Government owns
the air waves and hence
should control what goes out
over them. It's the same old
argument that, because the
Government owns the waters
and its dams, it must own
electric-power plants, or that,
because the Government can
commander the natural re-
sources Of the Nation, it
should go into the oil busi-
ness or the coal business just
as the Communist govern
ments do.
But does the Government
OF the United States own all
the air, or is this something
reserved to the people? Orig
inally, when radio came into
being, it was discovered that
there would be a collision Of
broadcasts on the air waves

President Leaves Cheers Behind
To Seek to Reconcile Allies

OF the four leaders, only he
has admitted to feeling called
from high to a duty-"my
role consisted in bending to
the common interests the
various elements of the ma
ton in order to lead it to
salvation. E"
With him France comes
f1rSt-and only France is
important.
President de Gaulle, too,
is just back from a tour. And
in his ears also is the remem-
brance of cheering-like melo-
dies of heavenly reinsurance.
At the very same moment
the Indians were giving
President Eisenhower mas
Sive, emotional welcome and
tribute of confidence and af-
fection, Gen. de Gaulle was
evoking cheers and tears
from a crowd of some 10000
Africans in the Senegal
Republic, a French territory.
France is preparing to trans
fer powers of autonomy as
the republics of Senegal and
Sudan unite to become the
Federation of Mali.
The general pledged an as
Sociation of free will" as
many in the thousands wept
and sang the Marseillaise.
Mamadaou Dia, Premier of
Senegal, accurately and
frankly described Gen. de
Gaulle, with a sort of
reluctant admiration and re-
spect, as "a most curious
mixture of humaniSm and
realism"

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of Mrs. Ed
mund Harvey. who passed away
ten years ago, November 8, 1949.
November brings sad memories
OF loved one gone to rest;
She will never be forgotten
BY the ones who loved her best.
We do not lose the ones we love
They only 90 before;
Where there is everlasting life
Where sorrow is no more.
And there the soul will always live
And peace is everywhere:
We do not lose the ones we love
God takes them in his care.
Your memory to us is keepsake
With which we shall never part;
Though God has you in his keeping
We still have you in our hearts.
Sadly missed by her husband,
Edmund Harvey, Children and
Grandchildren.
