DR.. Byrd said.
"All previous surveys and the
survey just completed indicate
that these claims do not have
substantial basis in fact. There
are virtually no oysters ap02r-
emily beyond % or 80 feet in
depth.
The shaft tongers work in
water up to % or 81, feet so
that actually If the Potomac
River were opened it would
mean that it would be opened
for only a long. narrow stretch
from 4 to 6 feet wide for work
by patent tongers and dredRers.
1T would be almost imDos-
sible for dredgerS to work such
a strip and it would be difficult
for any others to do so
This fact, tied in with the
conclusion that such oysters as
may be in this depth are abso-
lutely essential to continue the
natural supply of oysters. would
seem to indicate that it would

Khrushchev and Mao Believed Planning
To Take Over India and Nearby Motions

Western powers to their ex-
pansionist Imperialism.
There is no question that
Khrushchev's visit to the
United States has been re-
ported by the Communist
propaganda media entirely
differently from what it &C
tually was. The American
masses have been represented
as receiving the Red boss
with wild enthusiasm. And
there has been no counter
propaganda from our Voice
Of America.
Similarly the barely con-
cealed move by important po-
litical figures in the United
States toward a rapproche-
ment with Communist China,
with a minimum Of quid pro
quo, is encouraging the in
ternational Communist bosses
to believe that America will
remain passive when they put
into effect their Asian plans.
They have sound reasons for
believing that trade and CO.
existence-minded Britain will
not bulge. either. Insofar as
Western Europe, which has
become the leader in the OPP
position to international COM
munism is concerned, its in
terests and policies will not
permit any inmixture in the
Soviet Chinese Asian plans.
This. at least, is the evalua-
ton Of the Red bosses at the
Peiping talks.
The Chinese Communist
moves in northern India as
well as the sporadic rebellions
in Afghanistan are regarded
as a curtain raiser for the
many-act drama expected to
begin in the not distant fu-
ture.
Western military observers
who are discussing the report
ed plans say the Asian sub
continent has the power and
capability to cope with the
danger. Pakistan, with its 80
million people, definitely has
the will to resist. Not only is
the government headed by
Gen. Ayub Khan prepared to
do its utmost against any ag-
gression but the people them
selves, many of them tried
professional warriors, prefer
destruction to submission.
And there is little If any intll-
tration in that area which
guards the approaches to
Western Asia and the Persian
Gulf.

he might well have attributed
them perhaps to q conflict

the stage Of make-believe.
But young Van Doren went
the whole distance-he con-
fessed his misguided action
and asked the people In the
court Of public opinion to
forgive him.
Nothing quite SO salutary
has happened in these pre-
cincts in a long time. Its ef-
feet could 60 far beyond the
realm Of "quiz" shows and
the spuriousness Of television
makeup. It would be con-
structive If only there ensued
a questioning, too, in the
realm of public affairs where
for a long time deception in
campaign speeches by can
didates and other speakers
has been more or less &C
cepted as q necessary &C
compartment Of the art Of
politics and demagoguery.
Time alone can tell
whether the Van Doren con-
fession, because Of the dra-
matte publicity it invoked,
will accomplish enough good
to make the young man feel
that he may have in q small
:. way perhaps induced others
to be equally candid and
fortnight. For 1t is said in
the scriptures:
Judge not, that We be not
judged. For with what judg-
ment ye Judge, We shall be
judged: and with what
measure ye mete, 1t shall be
measured to you again.
"And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy
brothers eye, but considerest
not the beam that is in thine
own eyer"
Lots Of US will ponder
these words and will hesitate
to pass Judgment on Charles
Van Doren.

Quiz Show Case Stirs Call for Action
On Matter of Political Contributions

Charles Van Doren has at
least confessed his sins. The
public has yet to hear any
remorseful expressions from
those members Of Congress
who have virtually q 100 per
cent record Of voting in favor
Of the side that has given
them the larger amounts Of
campaign contributions.
There are Representatives.
and Senators. Of course, who,
when they make a decision
on q pending piece Of legisla-
ton, do vote as their con-
sciences tell them to vote,
irrespective Of any campaign
help they may have received
from interested parties. But
what shall the public think
when 1t notes that certain
members have a record Of
voting always the way their
campaign contributors would
have them vote?
Is there, moreover. honesty
In respect to the disclosure
Of campaign contributions?
Federal law requires that
the candidates for Congress
must reveal how much they
themselves spent, but there
is no requirement that all the
money spent for the benefit Of
q candidate shall be account
ed for specifically. Thus, big
sums are deliberately con-
tributed to State committees
or State organizations or to
citizens committees which
do not get into the public
records. The American peo-
pie are not permitted to know
how much money Is actually
spent to elect members Of
Congress and by whom the
largest sums are contributed.
A wave Of conscience over
Capitol Hill Is long overdue.
Charles Van Doren coura-
geously revealed the error Of
his way. This does not mini
mize his wrongdoing, but it
cleanses his own mind and
gives him the right to face
society as q man Of con-
science. He did not seek to

800 million people. where the
leadership is so pathetically
soft toward communism. Ever
since the partition of India
at the end Of the war. Messrs.
Nehru and his close friend
Krishna Menon have taken
the position that the West
continues to be imperialistic
while the Soviet Union and
China are popular democra-
cies." Mr.. Nehru has been one
Of the minor cogs in the Britt
ish Commonwealth who has
pushed the succeeding weak
London governments toward
appeasement Of the Reds.
The lethargic Indian peo-
pie, most Of the time FAM
ished because of the malad-
ministration Of their govern
ment and midas economic
chaos, showed little interest
in the conduct Of interna-
tional affairs. But now since
their loyal allies and
friends" the Chinese Com
munists have begun nibbling
at their borders, there APP
pears to have been a resur-
rection of nationalist spirit
among the population. Mr..
Nehru has taken notice Of 1t
but not sufficiently.
According to some observ-
ers, the possibility of a coup
by the Indian military with
the object Of establishing a
managed democracy" as in
neighboring Pakistan is not
to be discounted. The Indian
army and its officer corps
have been educated in the
best tradition of the old Brit
ish army. The commanding
officer, Gen. K. S. Thimayya,
who refused last summer to
become the tool of Defense
Secretary Krishna Menon. is
extremely popular with the
officers and men. His popu-
larity because of his OUT
standing honesty and illumi-
mated patriotism is said to
spread among the Indian
masses.
Unless Mr.. Nehru, accord
ing to reports from India,
changes entirely his attitude
toward the Communists, .
move to place the military in
charge is not to be dis
counted.

It is a time when, for ex-

also q time when some men
insist the Supreme Court
may not declare that all citi-
zens have equal rights in all
public institutions providing

great political schizophrenia
of the Democratic Party. In
1859, as in 1859, the deep
South wing Of it could not,
or would not, understand the
complexities of the national

South's Political Tree Hangs Limp

The Democratic Party, as
in 1859-60, seems determined
to destroy the instrument Of
its great power which in two
national elections has been
strong enough to control
Congress, insofar as the
presidency is concerned.
So, in wistful resignation,
the leadership from Virginia
to Texas, excluding South
Carolina and almost surely
the political Mississippi Of
1860, is deciding it will "go
along with Lyndon for q
SPELL"
Most of the Southern lead
ers presently think it will be
Adlai Stevenson. But If he
should be nominated they
would show no enthusiasm in
his behalf. It is q curious and
somewhat melancholy fact
that political leadership Of
Democratic organizations In
key Eastern States share this
same lack Of enthusiasm.
They spent their energies in
1856, even more than in 1852.
on electing their State tickets
of Governors. Senators. Con-
gressmen and mayors. They
would almost certainly show
this same lack Of loyalty and
endeavor in 1860, even though
the Republicans are now
pushing the Stevenson plat
form Of 1856 which they so
cruelty ridiculed at that time.
Today. none works harder for
the Stevenson program Of
nuclear control and discus
sions with the Russians.
There is talk, Of course, Of
o Stevenson-K Kennedy ticket.
The Massachusetts, Senator
has said that Adlai Stevenson
is the only nominee with
whom he would agree to &C
cept the second place on the
ticket. But even this prospect

asm. There is no statesman

Conscience came to WASH
ington this week in the testi-
mony Of Charles Van Doren.
Conscience spoke in the halls
of Congress. Most Of the
members were away. but
maybe many Of them will
read in the newspapers the
confession Of a troubled soul.
When will the same kind
Of conflict that burned In the
mind Of young Van Doren
bring other confessions and
perhaps an altered morality
in public affairs? When will
those members Of Congress
who receive big campaign
contributions weigh carefully
whether 1t Is right for them
to put themselves under OBJ
legation to those groups and
organizations interested in
the promotion or defeat Of
legislation? For in the scrip
lures 1t Is written: mo man
can serve two masters. :. Ye
cannot serve God and NAM
mon."
Members Of Congress are
elected to serve all the pec-
pie. But 1t has become q
commonplace for big sums
often reaching totals Of many
millions Of dollars-to be
spent in campaign contribu-
tons for the benefit Of those
candidates who either are
being rewarded for past votes
on legislation or are being put
under obligation to vote as
the contributors want them
to vote in the future. Is this
ethical? Isn't 1t a hidden
deception?
Not so long ago a promi-
nent labor leader wrote q
public letter criticizing mem
bers Of Congress for failing
to vote for legislation desired
by the unions and indicated
that labor, which had fur
nished financial support to
many members Of Congress.
was not only disappointed
but might impose reprisals.
It caused something Of q
furry outside Congress but

nounced the letter.

Information from Euro
pean sources which in the
past have proven highly re-
liable is that one Of the top
subjects agreed on last
month between Premier
Khrushchev and Mao Tse-
tung was q plan for the di-
vision Of the Asian subcon-
tinent.
In q nutshell. this agree
ment provides that China
will endeavor in the coming
years to take over gradually,
by force or, infiltration.
Burma and India. The Soviet
Union will do the same by
the same methods to AZ
ghanistan. Pakistan and Iran.
Thus the two colossi from

ing arrangement which is ex-
pected to be put into effect
over the next 10 years or so,
depending on international
conditions, to divide the
countries bordering the In
dian Ocean directly or in
directly.
This information has been
passed on. Of course. to the
governments of India and
Pakistan. But while Pakistan
is taking 1t seriously and is
willing to prepare for any
emergency, the top men Of
India, especially Prime Min
lister Nehru and Defense
Minister Krishna Menon, are
unwilling to accept the in
formation as more than
speculation. The apparent
stiffening Of Mr.. Nehru's at
titude toward China is not
the result Of these tidings
but Of an aroused public
opinion which even Mr..
Nehru can ignore no longer.

As autumn comes on and
the goldenrod and iron weed
begin to bloom along deep
South rural roads, there is
no hyperemotionalism in the
regions politics, but rather
the seasonal mood.
A bittersweet wistful mel
ancholy sits on the land. And
as the leaves fall from trees,
so do they drop from the
calendars Of days. No leader
has a formula for unity in
the Democratic Party, which
by now should be centering
on the most likely presiden-
tial candidate. There is no
stomach for 1t. There is little
for the next congressional
session.
Save for South Carolina,
where the Governor is max
ing a third-party threat. and
Mississippi, which will be
almost incredibly extremist
in its attitudes when its new
administration takes over
next January, there is now
the feeling that I'VE might
as well go along with Lyndon
for a ballot or so."
It is a decision almost of
resignation, as there is no
feeling the Texan can be
nominated.
And after Lyndon?
"Adlai, maybe" But there
is no lift in the voices which
say it.
There will be some hyper
emotionalism in the next
Congress, but it will be de-
fensive and the more bitter
because there will be little
hope in it. There is no CO.
hesive attitude which the
South can advance.
