Major but UnpredictobIe go Issue Seen,
Royburn Drive for Johnson Surprise

Adlai Stevenson in the
clincheS at Los Angeles after
the various favorite sons had
failed to make it.
Instead, Speaker Rayburn
has announced a drive to or
ganize Johnson-for- President
clubs in each of Texas 254
counties. This means that
johnson, who has been work.
ing to put a Southwestern
brand on his candidacy,
emerges into the open purely
as a Texas dark horse. Texas
is a big, rich State, but john
sons starting status now is
no better and no worse than
that of his rivals.
The Speaker, in addition,
has cast doubt on his chance
again to rule the convention
procedure in his old role of
permanent chairman. 1t al
ready had been argued by
liberal Democrats eager to
break the power of the con-
greSSional caucus that it was
time for a change in the con-
vention picture presented to
the televiSion audience. Now
they have the further argu-
ment that the Speaker has
taken himself out through his
commitment to one mans
candidacy.
Asked about this aspect,

He had caviar and but
tered bread three times a

is a choice of hors d'oeuvres,
beef, lamb, mutton, chicken,
ham, cold meats, three or
four vegetables, salad, fruit
and cooked desserts. I feel no
intrusion of barbarity.
Soviet cooking is not dis
tinguished in the frivolous
manner Of those who wish
their food splashed with wine
or basted with brandy. 1t is
plain cooking.
But if one is patient and
does not rattle the waiter,
it is easy to reach a meeting
of minds despite the Ian
guage barrier. The trouble
is, I think, that a great many
tourists, confronted with the
absoluteness Of the language
barrier, screamed at walters
and otherwise eroded into
immature peevishness and
childish irritability.
The walters may have
taken revenge on such as
these. Maybe they did have

Elizabeth Ends

LONDON, Oct. 10. (AP).-
Queen Elizabeth. expecting her
third child early next year,
returned to London today after
her autumn holiday in Scot
land. She looked in radiant
health.
A crowd Of several hundred

Philip leave the royal train at
Euston Station after an over
night journey. Her only i'm

ministers in the reelected con-

Bar Booking
Plan to Add
New Jurists

BALTIMORE, Oct. 10. (AP) i.
The Maryland State Bar
Association is getting behind a
plan to tighten the work load
of the Court Of Appeals by
increasing its membership from
five to seven.
This was one of several
court reorganization proposals
turned down by the last Gen.
eral Assembly.
Joseph Bernstein, president
of the bar association, has an
nounced appointment of a 10
man commission to work for
the court enlargement plan, to
be presented to the 1860 Legis-
lature. He said all five current
members of the high court are
willing to accept this proposal.
Evening star., 1959-10-19

For the long pull the big
gest political development Of
the week end was the appar-
ent failure of administration
efforts to settle the steel
strike. 1t suggests that an
economic and social issue Of
the first magnitude is being
created for 1860 with results
that the craftiest politicians
could not foresee.
Vice President Nixon and
Labor Secretary Mitchell are
among the Republicans with
future ambitions who feel
that their natural allies in
the business world are blind
to the political potential of
their acts. The Nixon
Mitchell influence, however,
reaches just so far; neither
has the present power to
compel agreement in the
name of the public.
1t will not be easy for
Democrats, especially their
congressional majorities, to
tread a steel strike path with
safety. but at least they do
not bear the initial respon-
Sibility.
Meanwhile, they are genu-
inely surprised to find their
Senate m ajority leader
settling for a favorite son role
at their national convention.

an ardent candidate for
President was known to them,
but they had expected him

The broadcasting compa-
nies have a duty, moreover.
to examine carefully all pro-
grams, whether sponsored or
not. What shall be said Of a

unions and called "news."
which select certain facts and
omit others 20 as to make a
good show? Who is to be the
judge of the fairness of it all?
Certainly not the Govern
ment agency or any congress
sional committee.
Broadcasting is entitled to
the protection of the free
speech and free-press doc
trines of our Constitution on
a par with the newspapers.
No congressional committee
should be permitted to tell
any broadcasting company
how much time 1t shall give
on the air to any political or
economic discussion, whether
by a candidate or anyone
else. But the broadcasting
companies, like the press
generally, have a duty to be
fair, lest they lose the con-
fidence of the listening or
viewing or reading public, as
the case may be. They have
a duty to check up on all
programs and to write con-
tracts that will protect all
concerned.
The quiz show problem can
be solved by the broadcast
ing companies themselves. 1t
would be unfair If honest
quiz contests or any other
show on the radio or TV
were to be abolished just be-
cause some producers or
participants in the past were
found to be dishonest.

They expect Johnson to be
renominated-and all but re-
elected-to the Senate in the
now very early State primary
next spring, which would
leave him free to work on his
presidential campaign.
Possibly he took fright

clearly hopes to duplicate the
Eisenhower feat of carrying
Texas in the convention and

AS a favorite son, johnson
should be able to prevent
some things from happening.
Texas will have a big wad of
convention votes and johnson
will have influence with some
other delegations, notably in
the smaller border and noun

pected to use his power to

Politicians Avoid Open Discussions;
Some People Fear Appeosement

Fateful changes in high
foreign policy are taking place
in an almost total absence
OF public discussion among
the politicians. Such national
debate" as now goes on on
cially is more a series Of whis-
pers than Of roars.
With isolated and sporadic
exceptions. critical examina-
ton Of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration's turn to nego-
tiations with the Russians is
non existent. Most Repub-
licans seem sincerely to
approve. But, approve or not
and many privately do not
they are stuck with the
policy because the head Of
their party has made it.
The Democrats generally
are stuck with it, too, for diff
ferent reasons. Within the
Democratic Party there is
actually a very wide anxiety
about the Eisenhower-Khru-
shchev exchanges. But here,
too. there is nothing remotely
approaching an open and
full-throated questioning.
Totally lacking now is the
kind Of fierce disputation
that both rocked and in
formed the country two dec
ades ago when we began to
reject the notion of Fortress
America and isolation.
In plain fact. the Demo-
cratic opposition cannot re-
Sponsibly oppose at this
stage. First, it has too little
real information to risk max
ing major judgments. Only
political juveniles are willing
to oppose in such an area
simply for the sake Of op-
posing.
Second, recent excesses of
opposition, like that INDUCED
by many Republicans in the
Korean war, have taught
all responsible politicians to
think twice before rocking
the boat.
And, third, the nuclear age
has raised a serious question
whether all-out and official
foreign policy opposition will
ever again be fully possible
anyhow. When it is in the

power Of nations TO destroy
mankind by a single act Of
button-pushing, 1t may no
longer be permissible really
to challenge high policy from
the outside position Of the
political minority.
Whether we are wise in
dealing with the Russians, or
whether we are courting dis
aster. only time can tell. One
thing. however, is clear al
ready. Never before in our
history have so few leaders
undertaken so much in the
face Of a public able to know
so little about 1t all.
Assuming no vast and early
change in the cold war, there
will be no real foreign policy
debate-at the earliest-until
a new Administration and a
new Congress have been in
stalled in January, 1861.
Nobody in the 1860 elec-
ton campaign can or will
run against peace" There
fore, there is a strange vac
uum. To fill this void is
impossible in present cir
cumstances. But the Sem

bipartisan way, to do at least
q small something about it.

in the deception isa blanket
indictment without proof.
Certainly the age-old rule
that q man is to be regarded
as innocent until proved
guilty is valid today, even
though it seems to have been
disregarded in the innuendoes
issuing from congressional in
vestigating committee circles
and other quarters.
There is q simple way to
diminish the amount Of fraud
in any business, and that's
to encourage businessmen to
insist on their legal rights
and to take to court those
who violate such rights.
The broadcasting COM
panies have the right when
they make contracts with
producers or agents Of
sponsors or anyone else to
insist in explicit terms that
the time on the air shall not
be used for any fraudulent
purpose or to mislead listeners
or viewers of radio and tele-
vision programs. The broad
casting companies have the
right not only to cancel such
contracts, but to seek puni-
tive damages and even to
call for punishment by

tiles if there has been any
fraud or other violation of
criminal law.

more exactly the responsible
tiles of the broadcaSting COM

ing companies with which
they do business. The broad
casting companies may have
been hurt in prestige by the
recent episodes, and they
realize now more than ever
that perhaps they have not

should have been in writing

DAVID LAWRENCE

Why all the hullabaloo
about new laws and more
Government regulation just
because some misguided per-
sons betrayed the confidence
OF the public by "rigging"
TV quiz shows? For there's
plenty of law on the statute
books and plenty Of oppor-
tunity for the broadcasting
companies to protect them
selves and the public interest
without intervention by Con-
gress or the Federal Com
munications Commission.
To understand the subject,
1t is necessary to realize that
the major broadcasting COM
panies are for the most part
not producers Of shows at all.
They are really like landlords
OF a building. They deal in
rentals. They get paid on a
time basis by the sponsors of
programs who wish to adver-
tise certain products or serv-
ices. The sponsors buy from
the producers a package" of
shows and, through agents
known as advertising agen-
cies. pay rent to the broad
casting companies for the
time and facilities used. The
sponsors, of course, write
their own Commercials" and
are subject to Federal Trade
Commission laws If any mis-
representation about a prod
uct offered for sale can be
proved.
1t is easy enough to make
sweeping charges against a
group Of people as a whole.
Some of the same critics who
were so articulate recently
when Communist sympa-
thizers as a class were as
sailed-and who cried out
loudly against guilt by as

It was perhaps inevitable
that in the wake of all the
travel to Russia there would
arise a discussion of food
in that complex Marxist state.
Tourists from our brittle,
sophisticated and more ef-
fete set in the larger, more
cosmopolitan centers, who
dine in the great restaurants
common to cafe society, de-
plored the victuals of the
USSR as barbarous. They
also were aghast at Mrs. Nj
kita Khrushchev's lack of
fashion. They shuddered
like the Sybarite with the
rose petal beneath his pad,
when they reported how
dowdy and how tight about
the hips was the dress of the
amiable and good-natured
woman.
A calculating eye failed to
note any apparent loss of
weight in these returning
tourists who moved from ho-
tel to hotel under the guild
ing wing Of Mother Hen In
tourist. But they didn't like
it.
No solicitous headwaiter
breathed on their neckS. No
napkins were folded in their
nondowdy laps. No exquisite
French phrases were mouthed.
1t was barbarous. But they
lost no weight.
Some of these seemed un-
easy and afraid. The Ian
guage barrier in Russia is,
for those who panic easily,
a frightening goblin. The
waiter can't understand. The
floor clerk can't.

prefer is gone. the tourist
