In the little Arena" Chapel in Padua are shown forty
scenes from the life of Jesus and Mary. THE KISS OF JUDAS

Demand for J, 900 Convention Tickets
Puts Butler and Ziffren on Spot

The question of convention
tickets is one of the most
sensitive and difficult prob
lens with which any party
chairman must deal. Such
tickets have been hijacked,
stolen and counterfeited,
sometimes to make money
but more often as a means
to power.
The ability to pack the gal

death for a presidential can

extended their recognition to
the Peiping regime in the
forlorn hope Of obtaining
some remunerative trade. Mr..
Dulles and Mr.. Robertson
knew that yielding would
mean that eventually and
in a relatively short time the
whole of Asia would fall un-
der the Communist boot. And
our stake in the Far East is
at least as important as that
in Europe and the Middle
East.
Mr.. Herter, according to
those who have worked with
him recently, is less Far East
conscious. This must not be
interpreted by any means
that he is ready to throw
overheard our faithful al
lies, the Chinese Nationalist,
the South Koreans and the

can mean. say opponents Of

he may be less active in

of the Reds to the u. N. Gen.

opening of trade relations
with that dictatorship is an
inevitable evil" which the

Some Seen Keeping Fingers Crossed
On DEVELOPMENTS in Asian Area

ing on the diplomatic moves
Of the President and his
agents in the executive
branch.
Senator Fulbright expects
to make as much senatorial
history in the exercise Of his
influence and views on the
Nations foreign relations as
did Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge in the Wilson admin
istration or Senator William
E. Borah in the succeeding
Republican administrations.
No wonder that the career
officers. more than political
appointees in the State De-
partment, will henceforth be
looking over their shoulders
before going on record with
their superiors in their ad-
visory reports. It does not
pay to antagonize a strong
willed chairman of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, especially when 1t APP
pears very likely that he will
be holding that position for
a long time to come.
While there is a degree Of
meeting of minds between
the administrations Euro
pean policies and Senator
Fulbright, the same does not
apply to the Administrations
policies in the Far East.
There Senator Fulbright is in
the British corner-that is to
say that he believes Britain
has given proof of sound
realism in recognizing the
Peiping government. He has
expressed this point of view
on numerous occasions and
has made his views more
clear in private conversations
when he insisted that, much
as we may dislike the Com
munist regime in China, we
cannot ignore that 600 mil
lion people are being con-
trolled by Mao Tze-tung and
Chou En-lai.
Mr.. Dulles policy in the
Far East was once described
by his opponents as "inflex-
ible determination" So was
that of his intimate adviser,
Assistant Secretary of State
Walter Robertson. Between
the two of them, they re-
sisted the many overt and
concealed onslaughts from
the supporters of lets rec

does not mean our approval
Of the Communist tyranny

Some months ago the wire
services of America and Reu-
tiers of Great Britain sent
two stories out of Johannes
burg, South Africa. They
concerned the first visit to
that distant country by a
Negro newspaperman from
the Southern part of the
United States. They report
ed he had scored a diplomatic
triumph in a long press con-

credit on his country. No

him.
This young newSpaperman,

turned home after a journey
of about seven months.

DAVID LAWRENCE
Herter to Follow Dulles Policies

Mr.. Herter as he uttered the
above reply.
Such accidents occur every
now and then in news re-
porting. Ordinarily, what is
said before the newsreel and
TV cameras and what had
been said previously in con-
ference with the reporters for
the printed page do not differ
very much. This happens TO
be a Significant difference,
and 1t Is especially worth
noting because there have
been hints heretofore that
Mr.. Herter might change
substantially the policies
pursued by Mr.. Dullesin the
past.
1t will be observed that
Mr.. Herter spoke Of having
been "a member Of the team
for some time" and added
that "the team policies win
continue" The use of the
word team may be news to
many readers who have been
led to believe that there was
no team in the State De-
partment under Mr.. Dulles
and that it was just a one
man operation. as so fire.
quently mentioned by critics
Of his policies.
While the new Secretary Of
State means to carry on the
policies of Mr.. Dulles, it
would be natural, of course,
to expect his manner and
method of conducting nego-
tiations to be different. Mr..
Herter, for instance, may
travel less and depend more
on our ambassadors abroad.
After all, in diplomacy there
is as much individuality as in
any other official endeavor.

foreign policy by the Judi
cious remark that There will

essentially what 1t has been
since 1883. Mr.. Dulles made
most Of 1t. and there are no
signs that Mr.. Herter wishes
to unmake any Of it,"
The editorial made the
right inference. The first edi-
ton of the Times was on the
presses when corroboration
came in the II pm. TV news
cast Sunday night. Mr.. Herter
was shown on the screen as
he answered questions from
reporters as follows:

needed. Israel, for example,
has established trade. She is
training the police force in
Ghana. She has a shipping
service with Ghana. Tech
nical assistance of ill kinds
urgently is needed. Africa,
as now, looks toward the
Western nations for this
help.
Mr.. Gordon's greatest thrill
was seeing some of this tech
nical aid provided by the
United States. He Travelled
100 miles from Accra, Ghana,
to visit a young couple, Mr..
and Mrs. William Wright,
farm teacher and home
demonstration worker, re-
spectively, from North Car
olina's Negro Agricultural
and Training College. These
two persons were is miles
from the nearest village, 100
miles from a town. They had
built tneir own house and its
furniture. There were. of
course, no conveniences Of
any kind. They taught farm
ing, sanitation, care of poul-
try and livestock, and i'm
proved diets. They had be-
come greatly beloved by the
Africans and everyone knew
that PARKWAY America mad

Gordon met another couple
doing a fine job in the same
manner.
Africa is a country of many
peoples, languages, cultures

Gordon saw some Of the 400
or more African MoslemS,
mostly young intellectuals
who had broken with the

mier NaSSer was training

Christian A. Herter, the
new Secretary Of State. in
tends 10 follow the policies
Of his predecessor. John Fos-
ter Dulles. He said so plainly
at Augusta. Georgia. Satur-
day when his appointment
was announced. But, due to
one OF those curious acct
dents that sometimes hap
pen in handling news events,
this particular statement
wasn't reported in the press
and was given only over
television "a hours later.
Just after President Eisen-
hover had announced the
selection Of Mr.. Herter on
Saturday last. the newsmen

siderable length. Here is an
important section OF the

in its Monday morning is

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-04-21

There is almost unanimous
agreement among political
men In Washington that
Christian Herter is the best
replacement President Eisen-
hover could have found for
the ''irreplaceable" John Fos-
ter Dulles, Only those who
realize that the Far East is
in the long run more impor-
tant to us than Western Eu-
rope and the Middle East and
as important as Latin Ameri-
ca are keeping their fingers
crossed,
The new Secretary OF State
viii have to rely far more
than Mr.. Dulles on his sub
ordinates for advice and pol
icy counsel. And while he is
well versed in Europe's po-
litical, military and economic
problems, he Is far less so on
the problems of the Far East.
1t is unfortunate that at
this juncture when Mr.. Dulles
was compelled to abandon
the direction Of our foreign
relations, another stalwart,
Assistant Secretary of State
Walter Robertson, was also
forced to resign because of
Ill health. His position will
be filled by a career officer,
j. Graham Parsons. Mr.. Par
sons is a competent and we'll
informed man, but he has the
drawback that he is a career
diplomat and thus subject to
the moods Of the congress
sional committees which are
delying into our foreign re-
lations.
In the last decade some
members of the congressional
foreign relations committees
have taken delight in har-
pooning the Secretary of
State and his associates,
sometimes blasting the for
eign service as a striped

bureaucrats" and, of course,
in confirming the appointees
of the. administration for
diplomatic jobs. Although
the committees have only
nominal powers on foreign
affairs, the officers, men who
make their living by being
diplomats, were always anx-
ious to make a good impress
sion before the committees,
lest their chances for promo
ton be stifled.
