able to oppose determined
and active minority groups.
The information media in
this country have voiced the
views of the minorities by
describing Speaker Lee XII
poong as the real reason for
the uprising" and the most
hated man in the land" He
was described not only as a
ruthless tool for dictatorship
but also as utterly venal and
corrupt. But soon after his
dramatic suicide pact with his
American educated wife and
two sons the real truth came
out IN a factual story pub
lished by the New York Times
in which he was shown as a
kindly, honest and poor man
who because of his serious
ailments would have liked to
retire. He did not do this,
says the Times report, be-
cause of his devotion to Mr..
Rhee and his country.
Mr.. Rhee, himself. could
have crushed the rebellion
by ordering the loyal army
to deal ruthleSsly with the
demonstrators. But it was he
who ordered, after the first
skirmishes between students
and police in which casual
ties occurred, that any SOL
dier who killed or wounded a
demonstrator should be
court-martialed. Thus the
minority supported by the
State Department succeeded.
The success of the Korean
high school and college stu
dents inspired their Turkish
counterparts. No sooner was
Mr.. Rhee forced out of Office
than a similar move started
in Turkey. There is no ques-
ton that Premier Menderes

very large independent vote
will continue to wait.
The Pennsylvania balloting,
as was generally noted in the
first reports of it, was a
blackjack behind the ear to
the revived Rockefeller hopes.
Mr.. Rockefeller has political
potential. But he obviously
is not yet well known. 1t may
be, if Mr.. Nixon should be
defeated, the party will turn
to him in 1864. But not now.
So we return to Mr.. Nixon.
The Taft right wing in his
party, which was so badly
mauled in New Jersey, goes
about muttering to itself like
the somewhat senile symbol
it is. A number of those about
the country who had great
hopes of nominating one of
their number in New Jerseys

ing that Lyndon johnson is
the very best candidate be-

party. There is just one flaw
in this thinking. They can
not vote for Mr.. johnson un-

Problem Complicated as Both Parties

lem is complicated by much
more than the prevailing in
ertia here about the regula-
tory agencies.
The President has from the
start of his administration
showed himself distinctly al
lergic to crusader types in
Government, particularly in
the agencies which regulate
business. Where he is re-
quired by law to appoint a
minority of members from
the opposition party, he has
frequently chosen Eisenhower
Democrats or independents"
He was preceded, however,
in the tanning of the FPC by
the present ruling hierarchy
of the Senate Democratic ma
jority, Leader johnson and
Senator Kerr of Oklahoma
in particular. Their first eff
fort was to secure enactment
of Bob Kerr's gas BILL" a
long fought-over piece OF
lie egislation which would
largely exempt natural gas
producers from Federal regu-
lation. Such a measure
finally reached President
Truman's desk.
Mr.. Truman, under heavy
pressure pro and con, vetoed
the bill. Senators johnson.
Kerr and their supporters
managed in the ensuing
months, however, to displace
FPC Chairman Leland Olds,
whose crusading view dis
pleased them, and FPC has
not been the same since. Mr..
Eisenhower merely continued
the erosion already begun.
1t is significant that SEN
ator Kerr has never revived

In today's Washington it
seems next to impossible to
get an issue developed except
in terms of a personality.
Senator's from the big con-
sumner States hope to get just
such leverage from a former
New Dealer, Thomas G. Cor
coran, in the matter of the
Federal Power Commission.
The cost of natural gas has
been rising steadily and so
has the volume of complaints
that FPC has not been pro-
tecting consumer interests.
President Eisenhower has re-
sponded to them by calmly
dumping from FPC the COM
missioner generally regarded
as its principal protector of
the public interest, William
r. Connole of Connecticut.
Senator Dodd, Connecticut
Democrat, tried hard to save
Mr. Connole and had the CO.
operation of the mayors of
many major cities. The Pres
ident appointed, instead, a
former FBI agent, Thomas J.
Donegan, who is listed as an
independent in politics.
Meantime, evidence has
been given, in some instances
by the commissioners them
selves that Mr.. Corcoran,
now counsel for natural gas
interests. has been making
private contacts with them
relative to cases in which the
Corcoran client was inter-
eSted.
Normally, this would be
material for a fine Demo-
cratic outcry against the ad-
ministration. But the prob

sons continue to believe that
we can have the increasing
concentrations of people in
urban areas, dependent on a
relatively few corporate en-
ployers and the many service
jobs they create, and still op-
crate with the political poll
cies of Cal Coolidge's days.
If we are not careful, and
do not attend to the issues
on hand. we may very we'll
end up with a sort of liberal
facade of social services and
a Government which is highly
isolationist and protectionist
in trade. Such a government
could not long maintain this
Nation as the first-rate power
it must be if it is to sur
vive, But to have such a
facade and such government
is to have ones cake and eat
it, too, at least for a time.
Every thoughtful American
should be grateful to Mr..
Nixon at this point for what
he said at the recent meeting
of editors. We must, he said,
help the jobless miners and
the destitute in West Virginia
and other areas where the
industrial and agricultural
revolution has created pock-
cts of unemployed and un-
emplC yables. But we must
also have an intelligent pro-
gram of foreign aid and
trade.
Mr.. Nixon remains some
thing of an enigma. But he
is making his own decisions
and he does possess boldness
and Imagination. And his
stock is now moving up again.
The polls reflect chiefly the
feverishness and f1ckleness of
opinion What most of the
people are thinking can't yet
be measured.

Pennsylvania Vote Found Eliminating
Popularity Sag in Recent Polls

Vice President Nixon's re-
fusal to be pushed off bal
ance a few weeks ago by a
sag in his popularity as the
oretically established by the
ubiquitous polls, and a spate
of comments by persons who
expressed diStaste for him as
a candidate, has been sus-
tanned by the Pennsylvania
vote.
The more pragmatic politi-
clans did not need this. They
knew all along he is a politi-
cally tough-minded young
man who knows where he is
going. Others may not know.
But he does. They also were
under no illusions that he
will not be difficult to beat.
The tremendous vote for him
in Pennsylvania primary
will cause the fever charts of
polls to squirt upward again.
So Mr.. Nixon, and those
who must contend. with him,
are back where they were
before. There are a number
of persons, including Repub-
licans, who do not like Mr..
Nixon. Most of them cannot
say why. But this doesn't
matter. They do not care for
him. Most of the independ-
ent voters have not yet
made up their minds. They
do not now lean toward Mr..
Nixon, but they aSSuredly will
wait and see. The independ-
ent, or mugwung, is not an
emotionalist. He more and
more tends to vote for the
man he thinks will do the
best job for the country. He
also prefers to wait for the
campaign so as to give ear
to the issues and the manner

Events in Asia and Latin
America foreshadow what
diplomats term a heavy
summer and fall.
Speculation on the forth
coming summit conference
which held the front page of
newspapers at home and
abroad for several months
has yielded now to alarming
news on the tragedy in Korea.
Turkey and, of course, Cuba.
All these despite official
statements to the contrary

Communists (aS in the case

the determination of the

only a small indication of the
frame of mind of the Korean
people. According to reports

approximately 81 million a

for everything related to the

Well. it so happens that

Were it not for the fact that

for any purposes that the
Government may choose.
At the top of the list is
Frederic G. Donner, chair
man of General Motors Corp,
who last year gave nearly
$500,000 to the Federal Gov
ernment. This was almost
three times what he, himself,
retained.

how many of the business
executives are making un-
precedentedly large contribu-
tions to the public Treasury.
Taking at random the names
of some of the heads of a
