Agriculture Counsel Will Try Again
As COP. Contender for Senate

An intrepid Republican
who has been general coun-
sci for the Benson Depart
ment Of Agriculture for the
past year is closing his desk
this week and returning to
Wyoming for a new try for
the United States Senate.
He is Frank A. Barrett,
who came to the Senate in
1852 after a long career in
the House and one term as
Governor. He was beaten by
Senator Gale MCGEE in the
Democratic sweep of 1858, a
defeat he blames, however, on
some press charges against
him for which he has since
secured a retraction.
State Republican leaders
are friendly to Mr.. Barrett's
vindication campaign, but he
still faces a primary battle
with Representative Keith
Thomson,' Wyoming's Con-
gresham at Large. Mr..
Thomson has said he would
not run for reelection to the
House and has made unmis-
takably senatorial motions,
though no formal announce
ment.
His Wyoming friends have
his assurances that he will
run and all hands anticipate

fireworks, chiefly because the
two men really do not like
each other and never have.
Mr.. Barrett's strength with
the leaders is said to be
matched by Mr.. Thomson's
popularity with the up-the-
creek voters. Mr.. Thomson,
Of course, has always had to
run Statewide for the House,
so he knows all the voters
well.
Wyoming also expects it's
candidates to run against

tary Benson. which is some

cided whether or not to

DAVID LAWRENCE
Soviet Hand in Anti-Semitism

Who was interested in
compromising the liberal
democratic Chancellor Ade-
nauer of Germany before the
summit conference? Who
would profit by breaking up
the united front Of the West
ern Alliance?
1T is obvious that this
anti-Semitic campaign did
not serve the interest Of
West Germany - now wag-
ing a battle of life and death
for Berlin and for the reuni-
f1cation of Germany - as.
for this country, not only the
support but also the SYM
pathy of the free world is
essential. The weakening of
West Germany's morale and
the disruption of Western
unity would profit only one
power: the Soviet Union.
The anti-Semitic cam
paign would also serve to cam
outage the tragic fact that
within the last six months,
the Soviet Union is the only
country to introduce legally
and in practice the Nazi
principles of Nuremberg. &.
THE Jewish question is
the skeleton in the Soviet
cupboard. As long as silence
is maintained, the gradual
liquidation of Jewry goes on.
History may repeat itself.
Had the world raised its voice
in time-before Hitler sent
millions of Jews to the gas
chambers, and not after,
when there was nothing one
could do but lament-mil-
lions of lives would have
been saved"
The customary denials are
issued by Mr.. Khrushchev
when asked about anti-Semi-
tism in the Soviet Union. He
declares that religious free
dom prevails and that where
Jewish churches have been
closed it has been because of
alleged anti-Soviet activities.
Perhaps the most curious
aspect of this whole business
is the readiness with which
some of the 'left-wing" ele-
ments in the United States
have been willing to pooh
pooh and dismiss as absurd
the idea that the Soviet
espionage apparatus may
have been back of the we'll
co-ordinated movem ent
throughout the world to
paint swastikas on syna-
gogueS.

Red Prepares for Summit With Threats
For German Settlement on His Terms
CONSTANTINE BROWN

1t is not usually the ac-
ceptable thing to do to begin
browbeating ones opponent
on the eve of a peaceful bit
of bargaining. For one thing,
such tactics certainly fail to
set the stage for amicable or
constructive negotiations. For
another, they amount to little
more than crude threats and
gross intimidation.
Yet, ever since Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev de-
parted the United States after
his curious swing around the
country, he has lost almost
no opportunity to threaten
and browbeat and intimidate
the West on the German
question. Most recently he
repeated his favorite line in
Indonesia, where he reminded
the West that the burning
question of the two Germanys
must be settled on Soviet
terms, or else.
The "or else" remains the
same-that the Soviet Union
will go ahead and sign a
peace treaty with the puppet
East German government
unless the West accepts Mos
cows Interpretation of the
situation at the forthcoming
summit conference.
And Moscow's interpreta-
ton is simply that there are
two separate German nations
in being, and all the world
must recognize the fact of
the status quo. If the United
States, Britain and France
agree, and sign peace treaties
with both Communist East
Germany and the West
German democratic republic,
then the men Of Moscow,
generously, will permit the
encircled people of West Ber-
lin, an island in a Commu-
mist sea, to lead their own
lives in peace.

Berlin will be cut of from

Hungarian Exile Leader Tells Of Acts
In Soviet Behind KremIin Conspiracy

The Soviet Unions COM
plicity in the anti-Semitic
demonstrations recently in
various countries, including
West Germany, has long
been suspected, but it re-
mained for DR.. Bella Fabian,
chairman of the Federation
of Hungarian Former Polit-
ical Prisoners, to reveal what
has been suppressed, namely
the background of the con-
spiracy.
1t develops that for several
months prior to the swastika
painting on Synagogues in
West Germany, the Soviet
Union was carrying on an
anti-Semitic campaign, but
the news was not allowed to
get out.
DR.. Fabian, writing in U. S.
News and World Report, tells
of these occurrences:
I'm Baranovichi, Bendery,
Kishinev, Kiev, Minsk, Voro-
nezh and wilma, Jewish GEM
eterieS were desecrated and
memorials defaced. No puni-
tive actions were taken
against the perpetrators,
which also shows that they
were inspired or encouraged
by the authorities"
DR.. Fabian says that in the
last six months of 1859 a
large number of synagogues
in various parts of the Soviet
Union were closed down. He
names 20 different cities, and
declares that there now are
only go synagogues function
ing in the entire Soviet Un-
ion. He states that in Mos
COW, where there are 100000
Jews, only one synagogue is
permitted to remain open.
The windows in this church
building we're broken on New
Years eve and further dam
age done a few days later.
DR.. Fabian adds:
Discrimination against
Jews in the Soviet Union may
be seen by the following
facts:
Il. Each Soviet citizen has
to have an internal passport
that serves as a certificate of
identity within the country.
Ordinary Soviet citizens have
only the place of their birth
marked on the cards. while
those of the Jews are marked
by the word 'Evrei'-Jew.
80. Jews c cannot be civil

servants or army officers.
Since 1949, no Jews are ad-
mitted to Soviet military
schools.
"3. The world was shocked
that. under the czars, Jews
numbering 5 per cent of the
student body were allowed
to study at Russian universi-
ties. Today, there are no more
than is per cent, while at
the universities of the Ukraine
no Jews are admitted. Today,
there are still Jews who prac-
tice medicine and are en-
ployed as teachers and pro-
feSsors, but now they are ex-
cluded from the medical fac
ulty, from training schools
for teachers and from train
ing schools for diplomats
a. Jews are gradually be-
ing pushed out of administra-
tive jobs in industrial plants.
Nowadays. they even rarely
hold the job of a foreman"
A great deal has appeared
in the press of tn e world
about the deSecration of Jew
iSh places of worship and this
has usually been attributed to
"hooligans." The West Ger
man government investigated
and found many instances in
which there was a tie-up to
the East German Commu-
niSts. But proof in such cir
cumStanceS is difficult to get
because. the underground
techniques are effective. No
Communist facts the
youth directly. but the So
Wet apparatus extends to
many universities in different
countries and it is not a diff
cult matter for Intermediates
to start anti-Semitic demon
strations without the risk of
being exposed.
When news does leak out,
it is given casual attention.
Thus on october 4, 1859,
hoodlums set fire to the
synagogue at Malakhovka, a
suburb of Moscow. 1t was on
the second day of the Jewish
New Year services. The 10
year-old wife of the care
taker was Strangled and her
body thrown into the flames.
News of this was not carried
in the Soviet press. Discuss
ing the anti-Semitic demon
strations in West Germany,

Miss AssoIe Here
To Help Her People

Today is a day that Bettina
Assale has looked forward to
all her life. Her country,
CAMERON, achieves complete
independence.
The 20-year-old daughter
of the CNmeroonS' Finance
Minister, Charles Assale,
never expected to observe the
occasion in the United States,
But now she feels this is the
best place for her to be. So
does her father.
Bettina came to the States
two months ago with Moral
Re-Armament, a movement
which she says helped to save
her country from revolution
and win its independence.
The young visitor explained
that her father, before his
introduction to Moral Re-
Armament in 1857. was a
bitter enemy Of CAMERON
Premier, Amadou Ahidjo,
who was then Deputy Pre-
mier in the government of
Andre-Marie M'Bida.
Mr.. ASsale, whose party is
the Movement of National
Action. belonged to a Group
of Eight" staunchly opposed
to Mr.. Ahidjo, Bettina said.
Without support, she OBJ
served, the present Premier
could not have controlled the
rebellious forces long enough
to establish a government
securely and win United Ma
tons approval Of indepen-
dence for the country.
In the year that Mr.. Ahidjo
took over, 81, Bettina's
father attended a Moral Re-
Armament assembly at Mac

came converted to the ideo-

Stroh wants to extend radio

1t is not possible to cover the
area adequately over WKMH

casting Co., owned by John
Fetzer, chairman of the base

Stroh said it had paid more

rights to the baseball broad
casts for the next five seasons.
Previously the broadcasts were
sponsored by Goebel Brewery.

tions broadcast day games and
three were on the air for night
