Tennesseon Calls Republicans JitteY
And Shifts Democratic Victory

conclusion is based on obser-
vation. "The Democrats are
at work." he said. THAT is
true all over the Nation. Ken
nedy has inspired them to
get out the vote. He gives
them a solid reason to try to
elect everyone, the local
ticket and the national one.
We have had more Democrats
for some years." he said. "but
they didn't work hard in the
last two campaigns. This year
they are"
And none is working more
diligently or loyalty than "Ol'
Keef," who was one of those
for whom the party didn't
toll hard enough in 1856.
Meanwhile, the religious
issue continues to be a sub
ject. 1t is the goblin of the
last weeks of the campaign.
There are persons who are
not bigots who have reserva-
tions about the Senator's
faith. But, it is perfectly ap-
parent that in. these last two
weeks the bigots are domi-
mating this issue. The Fair
Campaign Practices Com
mittee has a national map
showing the origins Of the
smear material and the sites
of greatest distribution. In
general, the Atlantic sea-
board States, from Maine on
down, show the heaviest use
of religious slander. Penn
sylvania is heavily infected.
In the West, California is
saturated.
In Puerto Rico three
bumbling bishops read a
pastoral letter against a
political party in this island
possession of the United
States. While this touched
off a new TRADE from the
more extreme, it should be
helpful to Senator Kennedy
with those who have an open
mind. 1t dramatically spot
lighted the position of SEN
ator Kennedy and the gen.
eral position of American
Catholicism which supports

separation of church and
state and disowns any such
practices. Here again we
have a clear example of the
fact that actions by the
church outside American
practices are not relevant to
Senator Kennedy. He will
uphold the Constitution of
the United States.
AS a matter of fact, 1t is
immature to suggest that a
Catholic could, if he wished,
do any harm to the con-
stitutional provisions under
which we live. The great
hope for our country is that
in this campaign the voters
will vote their convictions
and not allow religious pre-
judice to intervene. Senator
Kennedy is in a difficult
position. While the COP.
high command has forth
rightly denounced use of the
anti-Catholic smears, the
fact remains they are being
used in behalf of Mr.. Nixon.
This fact makes it the more
imperative that Republicans
take the lead in condemning
as false and un-American the
use of the material now
flooding the mails and being
handed out in political
crowds.

A Good Show, With Lots of Hard Blows
Predicted if Lodge and Johnson Meet

Arguments over the fifth
and final telecast between
Treasury Undersecretary
Scribner, acting for Vice
President Nixon, and Leon
ard ReinSch Of the Cox
newspapers, acting for Sen
ator Kennedy. have been a
kind Of championship match
on its own.
A tentative date has been
set for next Monday in
Philadelphia. Since both
sides hope to capture the big
Keystone State and have
reasons to be optimistic about
it, this seems to be an agree
able choice. All else has
been a hard fight.
Vice President Nixon is de-
manding a conformation Of
the vice-presidential nomi-
nees, former United Nations
Ambassador Lodge and Sen
ator johnson of Texas, but
he does not want the public
to watch them argue with
each other. His idea is
that each should make a set
statement.
This condition suggests
that he thinks Mr.. Lodge has
the best of it pictorially and
by reason of his nearly eight
years in speaking for the
United States in the United

Nations. Mr.. Lodge is also
believed to have strong ap-
peal for women voters, espe-
cially because he Is identi-
fed so strongly with peace
and the arguments against
the Russians.
Presumably also Mr.. Nixon
would like to remind the
crucial States where all the
major fire is now centered
by both presidential nomi-
nees that Senator Kennedy
is running with a Texan
who is a civil rights mod
crate.
Democrats know Senator
johnson as an accomplished
controversialist who can on
occasion speak with deep
feeling and conviction. They
would unhesitatingly enter
him in a real debate with
Mr.. Lodge and, indeed, with
practically anybody. The
Senate Majority Leader also
has an enormous fund Of
knowledge about the day-to-
day operations Of the Gov
ernment as reflected in Con-
gress. 1t would be difficult to
out-know him on major
matters.
His service goes back to the
New Deal days, for he was

cations could mean the ex-
pulsion Of the Soviet Union
from the Security Council,
too. 1t has often been argued
that, since the Moscow gov
ernment is a permanent"
member and holds a veto in
the Security Council. it can
never be expelled from the
United Nations. But a close
look at the language Of the
charter disputes this view.
Thus article 6 says:
"a member Of the United
Nations which has persist
entity violated the principles
contained in the present
Charter may be expelled from
the organization by the Gen.
eral Assembly upon the rec
ommendation Of the Secur-
ity Council"
Also, Article q says: de-
ciSions of the Security Coun-
Gil on procedural matters
shall be made by an affrma-
tive vote of seven members"
Certainly payment of dues
and assessments is q PRO
cedural" matter, so the So
Wet governments single veto
would not be sufficient to
prevent expulsion. And how
can any organization survive
if it can't get the money for
expenses from its members?
The United States pays the
biggest share Of the U. N.
expenses. The estimated cost
Of all U. N. operations in 1860
is about $283,650.000, of
which this country will pay
nearly half. or approximately
$120,500,000. Why should the
United States bear such q
burden when the Soviet gov
ernment decides for itself
what expenses it will pay and
those on which it will openly
welsh? The Soviet Union
this year will pay around
$17,455,000 for some of the
regular expenses of the U. N.
but declines to pay any as
sessment Of which it doesn't
approve, though there is
nothing in the Charter to
sustain such defiance or such
pressure to change policies by
Withholding money contri-
buttons. This is really black
mail.

Reverse of Apathy Found in Crowds
LISTENING to Nixon and Kennedy

On the big question-who
is winning the presidential
campaign?-there can be no
more sense of assurance than
there was two months ago or
two weeks ago. But from
many SourceS-talkS with all
sorts of politicians, personal
observation on whistle-stop
and other trips with both
candidates. and so on-Some
other important things at
least now seem very clear.
The prospect is that a
staggering total vote will be
cast in this election. The
national decision, whether it
shall favor Democrat John
F. Kennedy or Republican
Richard Nixon, will have been
a decision taken by the people
themselves with a degree Of
voting participation we have
never seen before.
There is the reverse Of
apathy" among the public.
To know this one has only
to see at first hand the i'm
mense, patient crowds drawn
up in the snow for Mr.. Nixon,
drawn up in the rain for
Senator Kennedy.
There is far less automatic
partisanship than in past
presidential campaigns. Old
line habitual Republicans are
not necessarily and unthink-
ingly Republican this time.
Ditto old-line and habitual
Democrats.
There is much anxiety in
the country. Wherever and
however one meets people
on a campaign train, an air
liner. a restaurant in town
or city-this concern quickly
breaks through the CONVERSE
ton. What troubles people?
No single answer can be
given, for the worry and con-
Germ seem a many-sided
thing. Some vaguely fear
war; some thinking Senator
Kennedy might bring it about,
Evening star., 1960-10-28

some thinking Mr.. Nixon
might. Others fear recession.
This correspondents guess,
however, is that what bas-
ically troubles most people is
not really fear. 1t Is rather
an awareneSS that we are
entering a new and unknow-
able era, leaving the COM
Portable years of Dwight
Eisenhower and walking to-
ward new years with a new
man-whether it is to be Mr..
Nixon or Senator Kennedy
easily young enough to be
Eisenhower's son.
An enormous number Of
voters either have not made
up their minds; are changing
inconclusively back and for
ward from day to day; or are
simply unwilling to indicate
their choice If they have
actually made it.
No really vast number seems
to back either candidate in
the deep, emotional way that
people used to back Roosevelt
or Mr.. Eisenhower or Mr..
Truman or Thomas E. Dewey
for that matter. Neither can
didate is idolized; neither
candidate, but for scattered
exceptions, is hated.
Both are widely thought
to be competent; but neither
is widely thought to be an
indispensable man, or a
genius. Both are seen as good
fighters, fair fighters on the
whole, who are giving the
public a good show.
1t does not follow, however,
that the people think of this
campaign as a jolly game.
They think Of it as a deeply
serious contest, indeed. 1t is
as though they believed time
has run out on the old strictly
emotional political attitudes
in which a voters own favor
ite was seven feet of nobility
and his opponent a dreadful

NEW YORK. - Senator
Estes Kefauver, the tall Ten
nessean, dropped into New
York for a speech and a word
of cheer to the party faith
full. The Senator, whose
coonskin cap was a political
symbol of strength and
meaning a few years ago, has
been busy speaking for the
nominees. Very few speakers.
other than the principals,
receive a big press. But, the
amiable Tennessean has been
going here and there exhort-
ing the voters in behalf OF
Senators Kennedy and john
son.
He also is confident, both
publicly and privately. that
the trend is running toward
the Democrats. "You can
sense it," he said. "the way
a good fox hound can smell
out the trail. And by now
the Republicans are showing
signs they know it, too. They
haven't panicked. But, they
have shown their concern.
They are throwing the Presi-
dent into Pennsylvania as an
extra, late attraction. And
the Vice President, too, is
revealing the jittery state OF
his nerves. He looks to me to
be of balance. He talks that
way, too. He just hasn't
measured up to his party's
image of the sort Of candi-
date they wanted.
There is a dissatisfaction
with the Nixon campaign
among Republicans. This is
becoming a subject of public
conversation. Even when
they thought he outdid Sen
ator Kennedy on debates they
still weren't satisfied. MI
Nixon never quite measured
up to what they want from
him. I think we've got them
licked"
Senator Kefauver also be-
lieves California to be ready
for a Democratic vote. This is
not merely because there are
more party registrants. His

The Soviet government Is
attempting to blackmail the
United Nations. It has an
nounced q refusal to pay its
share Of the U. N. expenses
in the Congo. The other
Communist members take the
same position.
When a member Of q club
refuses to pay dues, he is
usually dropped from mem
bership. When a member
says he will pay dues only if
the majority of the club bow
to his wishes, the custom is
to denounce any such pres
sure and expel him from
membership.
Last Tuesday the Soviet
government formally notified
the secretary general Of the
United Nations that it would
not pay its share Of a $685.
625,00 appropriation needed
to cover the expenses of the
first six months of the U. N.
emergency force in the Congo.
The Soviet delegate told the
General Assembly's admins
trative and budgetary com
mittee that the money is
being spent in the Congo in
violation Of Security Council
directives in order to support
Western colonialiSts" and
that Russia and the Commu-
nict bloc docs not feel it can
participate in paying the
costs"
This provokes a crisis in
the future Of the U. N. Will
it yield to blackmail and let
any member decide whether
or not to pay its allotted
share Of the expense Of the
organization? The U. N.
Charter says in Article IT:
al. The General Assembly
shall consider and approve
the budget of the organiza-
ton.
20. The expenses Of the Or
ganization shall be borne by
the members as apportioned
by the General Assembly"
Under Article 10, the
Charter says:

in the payment Of its flnan-

in the General Assembly If
the amount Of its arrears
equals or exceeds the amount
of the contributions due from
it for the preceding two full
years. The General Assem-
bly, may, nevertheless, permit
such a member to vote If it
is satisfied that the failure
to pay is due to conditions
beyond the control of the
member"
But none Of the Communist
bloc members is bankrupt or
financially incapable of pay
ing the assessments imposed
by the General Assembly.
The record shows, more
over, that the Soviet Union
has paid none of its share
of the expense for policing
the GAIA Strip, authorized by
the U. N. after the Suez crisis
in 1856. Out of the 1860 bill Of
$40 million, this country is
paying $9,697 ,064, but the
Soviet Union now has been
in default of its assessments
for four years, totaling more
than $40 million. Other Com
muniSt-bloc countries have
followed the same course.
The Soviet government
takes the position that it will
decide for itself what assess
mentS it will pay of those
levied by the U. N. General
Assembly on all members.
In effect, this means that, if
the Soviets don't like a parti-
cular resolution or directive,
even though a majority of
the members formally adopt
it, there will be q refusal to
pay until the Assembly con-
forms to the wishes of the
minority disSenters. This is
q form Of blackmail which, If
tolerated. will mean world
wide loss Of respect for the
United Nations organization.

New Tax Powers SOUGHT
In Montgomery County

The Montgomery County
Council plans to meet shortly
with the county's legislative
delegation to discuss a pro-
posal to increase county taxing
powers.
Council members called for
the Joint session yesterday after
receiving a proposed bill drafted
by the county attorneys Of
flee that would give the county
taxing powers similar to those
of Baltimore City.
/ The bill, if approved by the
Maryland Legislature, would
permit the county to tax real
estate conveyances, automo-
biles, sales, income. utility bill;
and trailers, an official said.
William M. Candy, an assist
ant county attorney, said the
proposal follows recommenda
tionS submitted in January BY

Committee.
The council asked the legis-
latorS to attend a joint meeting
September 9.
In suggesting new areas o.
taxation. the proposals reflect
the opinion of the Financia
Advisory Committee that rea
property taxes are overworkec
in Montgomery County and no
as productive as income ant
sales taxes would be.
In addition to new tax pro
posals, county council member
are expected to raise the con
