the question to me whether

THE POLITICAL MILL
The IrrepressibIe Mr.. Stossen
BY GOULD LINCOLN

JOB was as special assistant
TO President Eisenhower on
disarmament. He quit his lob
here to try for the guber.
material nomination In Penn
sylvania last year and faced
the united opposition Of the
party organization, which
supported-and nominated
Arthur T. McGonigle, a
pretzel manufacturer. In the
primary Mr.. Stassen rolled
UP a surprising vote-some
$4,000. There are those who
hazard the guess today that
II Mr.. Stassen had won the
gubernatorial nomination, he
might have defeated Demo-
cratic Gov. David Lawrence
who won over the unknown
Mr.. McGonigle by only about
10000 votes. And had Mr..
Stassen been elected Cover
nor Of Pennsylvania, the race
for the @. o. p. presidential
nomination would at least
have been a triangular affair
next year.
Dilw0rth Hard to Beat
Mayor Dilworth has made
an effective Mayor. He has
some enemies within his own
party. But take 1t by and
large. he should be q terrifi-
cally difficult man to defeat.
He has the party organiza-
ton strongly with him. Now
Stassen's chance. If he has
any, will lie in the fact that
he may rally the Republicans
in Philadelphia who have
been pretty fiat on their
backs; that he will be a new
figure In a Philadelphia race;
that he is widely known as
a progressive. and devoted
to the cause Of world peace.
There is still a lot of Quaker
sentiment in william Penn's
city. Certainly. it appears
hat the Democrats will take
nothing for granted in a race
lgainst Republican StasSen,
even though the odds in
heir favor appear over
vhelming.
After his defeat for the gu
oernatorial nomination last
year. Mr.. Stassen opened law
Offices in Philadelphia. He
has continued his interest in
party political affairs, and
played his part in the fall
campaign. Should he be able
to take the mayoralty Office
from the Democrats, on q
Kind Of Reconsideration
wave in next November's
election. he conceivably could
use it as a springboard for
seeking the 1860 COP. presi-
dental nomination. He might
do this in an effort to head
of the nomination of Vice
President Nixon, whose per-
sistent political foe he has
been. However. it would seem
the better part of politics for
him. if elected Mayor. to wait
and run for Governor in 1862.
and if successful, then go
after the presidency.
= Mayor Dilworth has al
ready started the anti-Stas-
sen campaign by saying Mr..
Stassen's sole interest in be-
ing elected Mayor is to run
for President-and that he
has no real interest in the
problems of city government
and the citizens of Philadel-
phia. The old "carpet-bag-
ger" argument will undoubt-
eddy be raised against the
former Minnesota Governor.

The NS Reservations

There is nothing surprising or UNI
usual in the published reservations"
Of the Joint Chiefs of Staff respecting
their Endorsement of the fiscal 1860
defense budget.
Each of the chiefs thinks that he
needs more for his particular service,
and the millennium would indeed be here
II this were not the case. As we read
their statements, however, there is moth
Ing In them which significantly vitiates
their earlier agreement, as reported to
Congress by Defense Secretary McElroy,
that the 1860 defense budget is "ade-
quate" to provide the essential programs
for the defense of the country Nor is
there anything in the chiefs statements
which encourages a belief that Mr..
McElroy obtained their budgetary con-
currence by twisting arms or threatening
careers.
General Randolph McC. Pate, COM
mandant of the Marine Corps, primarily
wants more Marines. The reservations
set forth by Admiral Burke, Chief of
Naval Operations, concern maintenance
and modernization Of ships and aircraft,
new procurement, speeding up of anti
submarine warfare, faster procurement
of ballistic missile weapons systems and
more emphasis on research and develop
ment. The Air Force chief of staff,
General White, seems principally con-
cerned with what he regards as the
inadequate rate at which the BAT
medium bomber is being replaced by the
supersonic B-58
The longest and possibly the most
serious reservation came from General
Taylor, Army chief of staff This is so
because the Army. If we get involved in
so-called little war;" will have to carry
the brunt of the battle.
General Taylor Is worried by what
he considers insufficient funds for Army
modernization and for the Nike-Zeus
anti-missile missile program, the cut
back in the Army's active and reserve
strength and, finally, the tagging Army
surface-to-air missile program. A more
meaningful measure Of his concern may
possibly be found in some recently pub
lished testimony given by him to con-
greSSional committee. Asked about the
defense Of Berlin in event of war, Gen
eral Taylor replied that we have the
means necessary to successful defense
provided we mobilize our resources on
a national basis, and do it in time. The
inference presumably is that under ex-
listing conditions we could not success
fully defend Berlin in event of a serious
Communist attack.
An important point to be kept in
mind is that the service chiefs are talk
ing about the fiscal 1860 budget, and
only that budget. They are not saying
that the 1860 budget will finance mill
tary production foundation adequate to
serve the requirements of national de-
tense in the years ahead. This must be
remembered by those who believe. as
we do, that the reservations do not add
up to convincing indictment of the
overall 1860 budget.

Makes Two Points

There was q warning that
should be needed and
another important point that
should be emphasized in the
February 81 letter of Laszlo
Bartok. former Hungarian
envoy. The people Of Eastern
Europe have been waiting
10 years or so for the West
ern allies to free them from
the USSR's d % m in a tion
either by force or intimida-
ton. So far. we know. the
West and the U. N. have been
unsuccessful In this cause. It
is obvious. too, that the prob
lem has been neglected, and
continued neglect will make
these people aware. If in
deed they are not now, that
the West lacks the ability at
present to obtain their lib
Grafton. This could well lead
to a loss of confidence in the
West and the U. N. and re-
suit In numerous attempts
at freedom by the people Of
those captive states through
their own efforts. II armed
force were used and was met
with armed force from the
Red Army. 1t seems quite
likely that the result would
be another general war. It
is this fact that in my opin-
ion represents a more serious
threat to world peace than
any deliberate East-West
diplomatic moves.
The other important point
In Mr.. Bartok,s letter that
should be given serious con-
sideratiorf in his reference to
the value to- the free world
Of the captive states hopes
and desires for freedom. We
are aware that the Vests
retaliatory strength is not as
superior as 1t was before the
Sputnik era, and there now
exists some degree Of parity
IN nuclear weapons. Conse-
quently the Kremlin has
grown less and less concerned
with the need and the in
centive for serious and sin
cere negotiations on matters
considered basic differences
between East and West, such
as Eastern European free
dom. the German problem,
the ambitious aims Of In
ternational communism, etc.
Under these circumstances
the West needs some addi-
tional means of persuasion
to convince the Soviet
Union that 1t must show
evidence Of serious inten-
tons for negotiations on
all matters Of international
concern. For this purpose the
satellite nations that have
indicated many times their
desire to be free would be an
extremely important asset to
the free world.
I do not advocate that the
captive states be melted to
armed upriSings against the
Red Army for the purpose,
but ] would seriously recon-
mend that they be encour-
aged to press vigorously for
their rights to justice and
freedom. and only through
peaceful means. This would
be an enormous task that
would need organization,
planning and direction, but
! have no doubt that 1t is
necessary to achieve freedom
for the Eastern European
nations.

Milk Dispute

In a continuous procession
Of full-page ads, TV and
radio announcements bear
ing the name Of the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers Association, I am
urged to speak UP.
! am willing to take my
chances on milk distributed
by the various diaries, re-
CARELESS Of where it comes
from If from a COW - so
long as the milk meets the
standards set by the United
States Public Health Service
and generally accepted by
most States and commune
ties.
While I am touched by the
associations concern for my
health. taste and pocketbook.
somehow suspect that
their apprehension is more
concerned with the nice ar
rangement they have in
operating as a monopoly
under some rules in the Dis
trict that appear to be more
for their protection than the
public and in Virginia with
the blessing Of a minimum
price fixing commission.
I do not question the fact
that they have supplied the
area with good milk and pos
Sibly at reasonable cost, but
it's the principle Of the ar
rangement that's sour as far
as I'm concerned.
J. N. Mexican.
The accusations made by
the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association
are asinine and tend to point
out their disregard for the
milk consumer.
The association is not con-
cerned over the idea that the
consumer possibly will pay
more for a lower quality
milk. 1t is upset because,
after so many years. it is
losing the money from the
business awarded them by
Sealtest and ThompSon's.
The above mentioned
diaries have too high a set
Of standards to sell milk that
is Of low qualify" or "un-
safe" to drink.
Why can't the association
accept its business loss with
out kicking up such a
ruckus? Does it want us con-
sumerS to suffer too?

SILVER SPRING.

Dear Sir:
Please tell me how to at
tract woodpeckers. This
neighborhood is full Of them,
I know, but / simply can't
get them to come down in
our yard.
I'VE have trees. we have
everything, including food /
think they like, but they will
not fly down.
Il particularly want to
nave a downy woodpecker. /
think this is one of the most
intriguing of all the birds.
and would give simply any
thing to have one or more
80 far. nary a woodpecker.
Last summer a big one
flew into the yard for a brief
time. He spent his time
drumming on the lid of the
garbage can.
After that, I placed the
can where the birds could see
1t but it did not work, not
a woodpecker showed again.
X X Il
$50 please tell me what to
do
II have found all the birds
a winter delight, just as they
are a spring. summer and
autumn delight.
1.-THE days go by, and the
birds please at all times.
THE nights come. and the
birds sleep, and when they
wake up they are always
ready to delight us with their
songs
Il know they have no real
ization that they please US.
They must live in another
world than ours. one with
out conscious knowledge of
many things, including
bombs.
1.-THE birds intrigue me, all
Of them, but somehow the
woodpeckers most of all.
do you think it could be
because I am the sister of a
drummer, and know a bit
myself how to handle the
snare and the bass drum?
Whatever it is, ! am for
woodpeckers, first. last and
all the time.
If there is anything ! can
do to attract them, partic-
ularly. I would like to know
what it is.
Yours, ANGELA D."

What one can do to at
tract woodpeckers is what
one can do to attract all
birds.
Feed them, and see that
natural conditions are dupli-
Gated. as far as possible,
in the home gardens and
grounds in general.
This means, by and large.
that trees are essential, above
all, but that shrubs and ber-
ried bushes of various KINDS
are necessary, too.

pennsylvania HepuDllcans
are taking q new look at Har-
old e. Stassen. Their attitude
seems to mark an amazing
switch In less than q year.
For Mr.. Stassen was strug-
Cling for the Republican
nomination for Governor of
Pennsylvania last year-with-
out the support Of a single
one Of the 60-odd Republican
county chairmen. And today,
Mr.. Stassen has been asked
and has agreed-to run for
the Republican nomination
for Mayor Of Philadelphia.
Fifty-seven Of the SO Repub-
lican ward leaders in the
City Of Brotherly Love- have
announced their intention Of
supporting him In the nomi-
mating primary which takes
place in May.
While 1t Is reported that
several other prominent Re-
publicans were approached
and asked to run for the
mayoralty nomination by the
city Republican organization
before Mr.. Stassen, there is a
growing idea that Mr.. Stas-
sen may turn out to be the
strongest candidate the
g. o. P. could put up this year.
True, to win a mayoralty
contest in Philadelphia this
year seems on the surface an
impossible task for the Re-
publicans. A decade ago the
Democrats. seizing reform"
as their issue in Philadelphia,
were able to turn the tables
on the Republican organiza-
ton which had been strong
ly intrenched for years. For
eight years now the Demo-
Gratis have held the Mayors
ofiice-the first four with
Senator Clark and the last
four with Mayor Richardson
Dilworth. The city. indeed.
has become a recognized
Democratic stronghold. Even
Senator Hugh Scott. Repub-
lican. who pulled one of thu
major surprises Of the 1851
political campaign when hi
defeated former Gov. Leader
in a race for the Senate, lost
Philadelphia to Mr.. Leader
by $4,000 votes. Senator
Scott more than made up for
this lag in Philadelphia by
defeating Mr.. Leader on the
total State count by almost
10000 votes. Also six con-
gressional districts contained
in Philadelphia County arr
now held by Democrats
the House Of Representative
Dodges No Fights
Obviously, Mr.. Stassen is
confronted by a monument
tai task. However, he has
never been one to dodge a
political fight. At an early
age he was elected Governor
Of Minnesota-at a time
when the Farm er-L a Dor
Party had been dominant in
that State. He was three
times elected Governor and
finally resigned to join the
Navy in World War II, where
he had a fine record. He was
a United States delegate at
the l945 United Nations con-
ference to write the U. N.
Charter. Later he was presl-
dent Of the University of
Pennsylvania and twice a
candidate for Republican
nomination for President.
