New Secretary Of State Called Toctfui
And Skilled in Discussion of Issues

there is always a factor Of

other"
Secretary Herter added that
he felt sure "the Russians are
realistic enough" not to
want nuclear war any more
than we do.
Senator Morse said. how
ever, he prays the Russians
are realistic, too. but "some-
times we get a little discour-
aged when we realize that
their leaders apparently don't
pray. and in the absence Of
that kind Of moral basis for
their philosophy, sometimes
I wonder whether we can rely
upon their not following a
warlike course Of action under
such circumstances"
Secretary Herter declared,
in answer to another ques-
ton, that, If the Russians did
deliberately shoot down our
planes, he would consider 1t
IAN overt act Of war;" and the
facts would in due course be
laid before the Congress for
a discussion of whether or
not a declaration Of war
should issue.

added, "that l would put on

go to the Commander in
Chief, who has that power to

Secretary Herter, in re-

stated that the President
would be authorized to order

Mr.. Herter exhibited also

All these early runners
must now expect that their
every word and motion will
be scrutiniZed by their
friends and foes. All of them
are now talking a great deal
on many subjects: it will be
most remarkable if none Of
these remarks return to
haunt them.
Even that indefatigable
ground-coverer, Senator Ke-
fauver, never began to cam

before the convention. 1t only
seemed like longer because
he was the champion culti-
vator of the boondockS.

them in the fateful primar-

Conventions are often
moved by emotions, a fresh
face. Behind the present
vanguard are plenty of am
bilious Democrats who are
only waiting for the leaders
to falter.
Another hazard to these
leaders is the maneuvering
of their supporters. For ex-
ample, Senator Symington
is being blamed here for the
efforts of Californian Ed
Pauley to get control of so
large a share of the Specta-
tor seats at the national con-
vention. The story was news
to the Senator; Mr.. Pauley's
claim is based on the need
for rewarding the fat cats
who put up funds for the
convention.

Cuban is Called Impressive in Speech
On Sugar Statistics Instead of War

At last the very earnest,
cropping man was finished
with his tortured labor of
speaking in broken English
to the American editors in
convention assembled. The
applause rose high and died.
Security forces cleared the
way, and he and his devoted
encourage departed from the
great ballroom of the Statler
Hotel where so many famous
persons have appeared.
Fidel Castro, Prime Minis
ter of Cuba at the age of 80,
had made his testament of
faith in liberty, in his coun-
try and ours.
The story already has been
told. But no mere news story
could capture the mood of
it. Castro was bearded, yet
he looked like a boy. He is a
big man, yet he seemed
almost like a high-school
sophomore, awkward in elo-
cution. He spoke the most
broken English, but he was
right and courageous to do
that, even though many of
those before him understood
but little of what he said.
He did not excite them. He
did not try to do so. They
came to hear a revolutionist
tell of how he had lived with
death every day for a long
span of years. But he talked
to them of a small island
country liberated from Spain
by the United States in 1898,
which since that time has
had economic troubles and
unemployment.
They came to hear him tell
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-04-23

of great daring and of dam
gers met and overcome. In
stead, he talked to them Of
inequities of the sugar quota
and of tariff. They came
to hear fervor and to see
glamor. He gave them sta
tiStics to show that at the
depths of the great depres-
sion this country had but IA
per cent of its labor force
unemployed, while for 80
years Cuba has had "a per
cent.
He stopped often, as the
news stories have said. to
obtain the proper English
word from his old teacher
who sat behind him.
If you ask me how was
Fidel Castro as a show or an
entertainment, I will tell you
the truth. He was dun. But
If you ask me whether or not
he was impressive, I will tell
you that he was. He is a
new sort of revolutionist. He
fits into the intellectualism
of the Goth century. He is
a teacher and intellectual
and an idealist. Listening to
him, and looking at him,
there under the blaze of
lights. one could imagine him
lecturing his bearded rebels
in just such a fashion in the
mountains of Oriente Prov
ince.
His encourage looked on
with the eyes of worship.
They were a curious, almost
bizarre group. Some were in
leather jackets and khaki.

The degree to which all
leading Democratic aspirants
for the presidency are now
forcing the pace gives rise to
the question of whether they
can sustain it until a con-
vention still Is months away.
Senator Kennedy was the
pace-setter in order to hold
what obviously appeared to
him to be an early advan-
tage. His extensive poll
ticking and speaking flushed
out Senator Humphrey,
whose campaign is drawing
its sinews from liberals sus-
picious of the Kennedy rec
ord on the Mccarthy and
farm issues.
Between them, they have
now evoked a plain state
ment Of his availability from
Senator Symington. The
Symington travels, while less
extensive, are pinpointed to
key spots where he makes
speeches designed 10 show
that he is far more than a
military expert.
In what is widely accepted
as his debut as a national
candidate, Gov. MeYner of
New Jersey is addressing
a Democratic audience in
Washington on the unaccus-
toned subject of foreign pol
icy. He has bolstered his
field with Journeys to South
America and Southeast Asia.
All these aspirantS are
burning their candidates. at
both ends. All start with
friends and goodwill within
the party. But the pitfalls are
many along the road any
presidential candidate must

In expectation of the Lyn-

Castro: New Kind of ReyoIutionist

Some wore the best tailored
suits available. Some of the
ladies along were in the most
stylish of suits and dresses.
Others were in severe, plain
skirts and jackets.
But I looked at the editors.
Somehow, most of them
seemed middle-aged. or old,
and a great many f1abby and
gray. Not one of them had
ever lived in a mountain re-
treat hunted like an animal.
1t was difficult for them, I
am afraid, to comprehend
the earnest, bearded young
man who was so deeply con-
cerned about a quota on
sugar and who knew that
the tariff on American trade
was greater than the total
income of Cuba. Some of the
editors dozed in their chairs.
Some read newspapers. There
was not too much evidence
of communication between
them.
1t was my good luck to see
the Machado Revolution in
1888 and the coming of Full
gencio Batista, now in exile.
BatiSta, too, was an idealiSt.
He promised much. Power
corrupted him. He became
one of the most brutal die
tatorS the world has known.
I heard him speak in 1888.
He was the romantic figure,
the Skillful rabble-rouser.
What lies ahead for this
man, Fidel Castro, student,
philosopher, and economist,
whose adult years have been
spent in revolution, none may
say. But many hearts went
out to him and many con-
sciences wished him well.
