be lured back by a Catholic
candidate for Vice President.
Specifically, 1t cited figures
to show that Catholic candi-
dates run strongly in Cath
olic districts. No experienced
Democratic leader showed
any disposition to deny this.
and many freely admitted
that an apparent drift Of
Catholics toward the Repub-
lican Party had them worried.
Among the leaders so per-
suaded was Stevenson him
self. The case made for Ken
nedy was a factor in his deci-
sion to break with tradition
and invite the convention to
make it's own free choice for
Vice President. This seemed
fair to Stevenson both as a
matter of equity and good
politics.
The surprising force of the
1856 Kennedy drive upon Sec
ond place at Chicago and its
near success provided that
convention with its best
drama. What part the Soren-
son strategy played was OBJ
scured by the Unexpectedly
massive Southern support for
Kennedy.
What the South was prov

that it liked Jack but that it

problem is quite simple. Here
is a minority party in terms
of voter registration. There
are more people who are
more-or-less Democrats than
there are people who are
more -or-leSs Republicans. 1t
therefore follows that Nixon
cannot win in November
without (a) a highly disci-
plined party organization and
tol a successful appeal to in
dependents and dissatisfied
Democrats.
Discipline remains shaky.
The powerful irregular Re-
publican, Gov. Nelson Rookie
feller of New York, still coldly
refuses to indorse Nixon or
even to predict his victory
in the fall.
And looking at the thing
head-on, NiXon's ability to
recruit independents and re-
bellious Democrats will be
determined largely not by
him but by the Democratic
Party itself. 1t will be deter
mined by how many mistakes
the Democratic Party makes.
Nixon himself would never
put it so BADLY. But he
knows that his greatest
chance of all lies in the
strange capacity of the DEM
ocrats to beat themselves.

DORIS FLEESON

Any real account of the
religious issue in the 1860
campaign must begin not in
West Virginia or Wisconsin,
but with the Democratic
National Convention of 1856.
1t is interesting that its use
there attracted no adverse
comment but was accepted
as a fact of political life of
which sensible politicians
would take note-and they
did.
When Democrats began to
gather at Chicago for the all
but certain denomination of
Adlai Stevenson, they found
themselves the object of a
quiet but well = organized
drive upon the vice presi-
dency by Senator Kennedy
of Massachusetts,. Among
the persuaders skillfully en-
ployed was a 3,000-word
memorandum prepared un-
der the direction of Ted Sor-
enson, who was and still is
Kennedy'S chief of staff.
This document suggested
that there was a Catholic
vote" in the country and de-
scribed in some detail its. ap-
parent size. location and
concentration within the
Democratic Party. The argu-
ment was made that this
vote was drifting to the Re-
publicans, especially Presi-
dent Eisenhower, but could

Vice President Is Taking Objective
View of His Presidential Possibilities

1t is the curious fate of
Vice President Nixon to be
always dangerously under
rated by his antagonists and
always foolishly overrated by
his supporters.
Only Richard NJ. Nixon
himself takes a truly objec-
tive view of Richard M.
Nixon's prospects as he
moves cautiously toward his
goal, the presidency of the
United States.
Let him run behind the
Democrats in popular vote in
a primary where public in
terest happens to be wholly
in the Democratic contests,
as in Wisconsin. Instantly
his enemies cry out Nixon is
slipping badly" This, quite
rightly, does not scare him.
For he knows perfectly well
that trying to predict No
vember from such episodes
of the Springtime is non
sense.
Let another primary end
with a humping victory for
a modern" Republican Sem
ator, Clifford Case of New
Jersey, over ultra-conserva-
tive opposition. Eager Nixon
ties trumpet the glad news
that the way is now abso-
lutely smooth before him. All
he need do is to run as a
modern" and not an Old
Guard Republican.
The Nixon who refused to
be unduly frightened before
is not, this time, unduly
elated.
For the question is not
now, and never was, whether
he should be a modern" or
an Old Guard Republican.
He never had the slightest
intention of taking an Old
Guard line. In the first place,

1856. But the newspaper
clippings are still available,
and they show that the for
mer Illinois Governor sug-
gested in 1856 a "unilateral"
suspension of all tests by the
United States. This meant
that the United States would
stop all tests irrespective OF
any agreement whatsoever
by the SovietS. He said then
that, if the Russians per-
sisted in testing, I'VE will
know about it and we can
reconsider our policy"
The facts are that the cur
rent negotiations for banning
nuclear tests above ground
provide for certain written
pledges by both sides. AS for
tests below ground, this is
still an unsettled problem
and, while each side is to
agree on its own to refrain
from certain of these tests
for a brief period, this is
considered so far as America
is concerned upon an accord
in many other categorieS. 1t
is part of an overall pack
age. If Mr.. Stevenson was
trying to say that there is at
present a proposal "unilater-
ally" to refrain on a certain
type of test, he has a point,
but this can hardly be COM
pared to what he suggested
in 1856. 1t will be recalled
that Senator Clinton Ander-
son, Democratic chairman Of
the congressional Joint Com
mittee on Atomic Energy, also
criticized and vigorously dis
sented from Mr.. Stevenson's
proposition in 1856.
This very controversy rails
ed by Mr.. Stevenson illus
trates why the aspirants for
the Democratic presidential
nomination this year are
having a hard time mobil-
izing supporters for their
protests among the independ-
ent-minded voters. The pub
lie is interested in pocketbook
issues and human issues such
as whether peace has been
advanced or retarded. Thus
far the Republicans have the
psychological advantage in
their slogans: Were giving
you peace and prosperity"

In the third place Nixon

three for the CongresS-have
shown this: Ultraconserva-
tism would as surely defeat
the Republicans in 1860 as
irresponsibly extreme lib

Democrats.

1t is easy for demagogues
to persuade them that for
eigners in business are ex-
plotting them. But the truth
is, everywhere, that the real
eXploiterS have been their
own ruling classes. The
American businessmen in
Cuba, for example, were
compelled to do business ac-
cording to the dictates of
the government. They could
not pay wages above the
approved level. To do busi-
ness, they had to play by the
governments rules. These
were often corrupt. This has

investors everywhere. Since

Who Raised the Religious Issue?

regarded as a traitor to its
way of life. Kefauver won,
largely because the delegates
felt he would appeal to the
farm and labor vote, areas
which still are among the
softer spots Of the Kennedy
campaign.
The relevant point today is
that the Sorenson memo
randum was not a hidden
persuader, clandestinely en-
ployed. 1t was not published,
but it was openly and cleanly
used to strengthen Kennedy's
case. Among those propa-
eating it was John Bailey,
Democratic State chairman
for Connecticut, who is active
in the 1860 campaign to make
Kennedy President.
1t was discussed then and
is still freely discussed by
politicians and the press. 1t
is threaded all through the
Kennedy strategy of achiev-
ing the nomination by the
primary route. At any given
moment Kennedy aides, and
the candidates too, can tell
anyone the figures of Cath
olic strength not only in a
State, but in a district or even
a county.
Thus it is clearly diSin-
genuous for Kennedy and his
aides to blame the press for
raising the religious issue and
for the Senator himself in
his speech before the editors
here to cast doubt on the
existence Of any Catholic
bloc voting.

production, cash receipts might
even top last year, it said.
Last October, the department
had predicted a decline of per-
haps 7 to 8 per cent in farm
income this year.
Cash receipts will be supple
mented by Government pay
mentS and non-money income
which last year was placed at
$42 billion, making total gross
farm income $37 billion.
The department said net in
come of farmers may fall
slightly below last years $ll
billion, because of higher farm
production costs. Net income
is the amount left after pay
ment of production expenses.
But unusually good weather
and a consequent increase in
total production could raise the

Portuguese. Today colonial
ism is everywhere moving to-
ward the exits. 1t contributed
certain assets to those who
lived under it. But its liabili-
ties were greater. And it was
wrong. So it passes. The new
nations moving from Africa
into the United Nations, the
disturbing tumult out of
South Africa and the rising
pressure of discontented peo-
Piles in Latin America create
a new problem.
In Cuba, Castro holds the
loyalty of the landless and
the poor. The middle and the
upper classes draw back be-
fore his fuzzy, ruthless &C

appeal to his emotions. The
fact that Cuba's long-op-
