Premier Kishi could not
order the Tokyo police to
maintain order by the use of
arms, because in doing so,
Rhee of Korea and Menderes
of Turkey lost their status in
their countries.
Rhee and Menderes, true
friends Of the United States
and the Free World, far from
receiving moral support,
were severely censured by
the Government and the
press of this country.
The immense patience of
Premier Kishi with the Japa-
neSe Communists, which is
now criticized, is the same
patience that the Govern
ment in Washington has OBJ
served with the Cuban Com
munistS, who have established
a Soviet base 80 miles from
American shores.
International policy, and
in consequence, diplomacy, is
like a complicated game Of
chess. Every piece has a
value; and the good chess
player, like the good diplo-
mat, will prepare several
moves in advance. The play
ers that only move in res
ponse to the previous move
of the adversary have never
won international tourna-
mentS in this game Of
science.

1t should by this time be
known by the majority of the
people of these United States,
that something will have to
be done and quickly. Either
the Department Of State
should be done away with, or
wishy-washy striped-pants
nit-wits done away with in
stead. Unless an about-face
is done in handling aggressive
communism, then Khrush-
chev will have been right in
saying that our grandchil-
dren will live under commu-
nism. If anything today needs
priority in an investigation,
then 1t Is the Department of
State.

Foreign Aid Debate

I am not a great admirer
of the League of Women
Voters but I do respect
their views. Certainly by his
absurd statements criticizing
the league in regard to for
eign aid, Mr.. ReiSS shows not
only his own periodic flights
into the realm of political
fuzziness." but his ignorance
of the world situation today.
I feel that these ladies
have no illusions about trans
forming the world into a bed
of roses, but rather are ad-
vocating a sound fiscal policy
in order to prevent the world
from becoming a bed of
thorns. Mr.. Reiss implies
that it is impossible to JUS
tify foreign aid either NOR
ally or logically.
Is it morally right to let
the peoples of the world
Starve so that we can lower
the national debt? Is it NOR
ally right to allow the creep
ing disease of communism to
engulf the world so that we
can lower the national debt?
Is it morally right to turn
our backs and hearts and
minds away from disease,
disaster, and crisis so that we
can lower the national debt?
AS for logic, if we refuse
foreign aid to an underde-
veloped country, will not
Russia then provide that aid?
Is Mr.. ReiSs unaware that
communism's ultimate objec-
tive is world conquest?
M. Reiss had better ex-
anime his conscience, his
heart, and his mind in an
objective manner and If he is
still unable to justify foreign
aid either morally or logi-
cally then he, and not the
girls. should retire to the
kitchens and nurseries, and
confine his political activities
to a study of the history of
the Renaissance.

clarified Confusion

Your editorial of June Is,
Clarified Confusion, brings
up a problem which I think
urgently needs attention. 1t
is the gradual perversion of
terms from their real mean
ing to new and false mean
ings, usually in the name of
ulterior purposes. Neither
the practice nor the purpose
is constructive. For instance,
you refer to gently book
ish" and intellectual" per-
sons in a context which gives
these terms a derogatory
meaning in the sense thai
such people are quaint, queer
and unSound. Now let's look
at Webster. The relevant
definitions are as follows:
Gentle: refined in man
ners; moderate. Bookish:
fond Of, or learned in, books.
Intellectual: endowed with
intellect; having unusual
mental capacity; much above
the average in intelligence"
I suggest your editorial
writer's re-learn their funda-
mentals of English and thus
cease aiding and abetting the
growing trend Of perverting
the meaning of the language.
I suggest, too, that the def
nitions of the above terms
add up to a set of qualiflca-
tionS for leadership that we
not only could stand more of
but should enthusiastically
elect.

restrict population growth;
restriction on sizes OF
buildings would not decrease
the tax base and that flight
to the suburbs" would be dis
couraged. He never did ex-
plain how you could mathe-
matically reduce the sizes OF
buildings and increase the
sizes of lots without affecting
the tax base and preventing
flight to the suburbs. This
plan made no provisions for
underground parking which
is a must for improvement of
our downtown. Parking lots
and parking garages are not
the answer. What we need
are more shops to attract the
people downtown and worth
while Office buildings. Such
buildings would improve the
appearance of downtown and
increase the tax base. There
are several parks bordering
the downtown which could
be so used, in addition to the
Patent Office which could be
razed for a park with under
ground parking. There was
evidently little or no collab-
Grafton between the zoning
planners and the Redevelop-
ment Land Agency, which
has left many owners in a
quandary as to what to do
with their properties, result
ing in slum conditions.

There seems to be some
concern by our Commission
ers regarding the decrease
of $4,000 in our population,
with resultant tax loss. They
attribute the loss ito the
young and prosperous fami-
lies moving to the suburbs.
Further, that the relocation
of $4,000 from the Southwest
redevelopment area, some of
whom located elsewhere, had
much to do with this de-
crease and that in 10 years
10000 people are expected to
return to the Southwest" If
our population should remain
static, this would still be a
$4,000 loss. One suggestion
by the Commissioners to i'm
prove the situation is i'm
provement of downtown.
There are several reasons
why this condition exists to-
day, and the Commissioners

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Losses in a household are
often inexplicable.
You have something, one
day, and the next it has dis
appeared.
Family quarrels can arise
over such things.
One way to lose something
is to hide it so well that you
can't find it.
This is the housewives
dilemma, usually.
The lady of the house has
such a plain fear Of misplace
ing something that she mis-
places it but good, as the say
ing is.
For all intents and pur-
poses, it might as well have
been stolen.
IL Is around the house
somewhere, but I can't find
it,"
These belong In the old
category of the saddest words
of tongue or pen.
Often the loss is just per-
picking.
q
The way 1t can be avoided
Is to have some central depos-
itary.
How relieving to the care
full mind, If it can be said. 1T
must be there. 1t has to be
there. That was where I put
it,"
The fault. if so it may be
called, lies in not making
that statement with purpose.
One is in a hurry, one puts
an article down, and intends
to come back, then one is
called away, and so on and
so on.
A place for everything, and
everything in its place
The second part of this
truism is as important as the
first, maybe more so, because
1t is in the placing. not the
place, that possible danger
lies.
The more careful a person
is, the more he prides him
self on caution and fore
thought, the more necessary
it is for him to put every
thing" in everything's place.
In this way he will be able
to avoid the personal hu-
initiation Of losing something,
or what is worse, not know
ing where 1t is.

Here rises the specter Of
the old North-South conflict
in the Democratic Party. How
severe it will be remains to
be seen. And part of the bat
tie will be over the presi-
dental nomination. For the
first time in a hundred years,
there seems to be a real pos
sibility that a Southern DEM
ocrat, Senator Lyndon john
son, may become the party's
presidential nominee. His
demonstrated ability as a
Senate leaders and almost
uncanny success in getting
things done in Congress,
have brought him a national
reputation. Furthermore, his
record in Congress has on the
whole been progressive and
liberal. But the Northern
ultra-liberals - who look
askance at a Southern DEM
ocrat and regard him as a
congenital conservative-are
doing their utmost to head
of the Texan. But here
again, the Northern liberals
find themselves divided. Mrs.
Roosevelt, Senator Lehman
and others across the coun-
try, are hoping and working
for the nomination of Adlai
Stevenson. Former President
Harry S. Truman has an
nounced his backing of Sen
ator Stuart Symington of
Missouri, and other liberals,
including many of the lead
ing organized labor bosses,
are strong for the nominal
tion of Senator John F. Ken
nedy of Massachusetts,.
Massive Kennedy Drive
The Kennedy forces-and
they are organized on a huge
scale throughout the country
are feverishly moving to
assure the youthful Massa-
chusetts Senator the nomina-
tion on the first or second
ballot at the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. Senator
Kennedy'S youthful appear
ance and his lack Of expert
ence in an executive capacity
are being used against him,
particularly in view of inter-
national developments which
look to an even colder war
than the cold war of the last
seven years with serious
threats to world peace.
The Kennedy drive, how
ever, has been well organized
and we'll financed. First. the
Kennedy publicity in news
papers and magazines began
in earnest more than two
years ago. The Senator, him.
self, has kept on the 60,
speaking in all parts of the
country, and then he entered
many Of the presidential
primaries this year and ran
away from his Democratic
opposition. Now the drive
has been intensified in these
final weeks before the con-
vention. In New York, where
it is reported Senator Ken
nedy will have at least 100
of the States ia delegate
vote in the national conven-
ton, Bronx Democratic Lead
er Charles A. Buckley, and
others are calling for an in
dorsement of him at a meet
ing Thursday of the States
delegation. Obviously if there
is a vote taken at the meet
ing showing a huge sentiment
in support of Senator Ken
nedy, the Kennedy band
wagon will get another big
push forward.
With all these conflicting
interests - local, State and
national-the course of the
Democratic National Conven-
ton, its nominees and its
platform, still remain a mat
ter of conjecture.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Liberal Democrats Take 1t on Chin
By GOULD LINCOLN

The wings of the Demo-
cratic Party, of which there
are more than two, are tax
ing of in different directions.
Instead Of one major divi-
sion in the party-the North
ern Democrats versus the
Southern Democrats-consid-
cradle bitterness has now aris-
en- between the more liberal
Democrats and the more con-
servative Democrats of the
North. With the struggle for
the Democratic presidential
nomination the immediate
contributing cause for strife,
these Democratic factions are
battling to an unusual degree.
Take a look at what recently
has happened across the coun-
try. The liberal Democrats
apparently are outmaneuv-
cred by the more conserva-
tive groups in California and
in New York. If the might
ing continues, it may make
the election outcome in these
two pivotal States sources of
worry-not to the Republi-
cans, but to the Democrats.
In New York, the Democratic
State Committee declined to
name former Senator and
Gov. Herbert Lehman a dele
gate-at-large to the Demo-
cratic National Convention.
Nor will Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
velt, like Mr.. Lehman a lead
er of the liberal or reform
group in New York, be a dele
gate. Further, the State Or
ganization remains firmly in
the hands of Chairman Mich
ael H. PrendergaSt and Ma
tional Committeeman Car
mine G. DeSapio-with Mr..
DeSapio to be continued in
his office of national commit
teeman.
Ready for a Fight
In California, the liberal
Democratic National Com
mitteeman Paul Ziffren, is be-
ing tossed out on his ear
out Of the Office he has held
for seven years, and in his
place will be Attorney Gen.
eral Stanley Mosk, a conf
dant of Gov. Pat Brown. The
shift will not take place until
after the Democratic Nation
al Convention in Los Angeles.
But it will not make for unity
in the Democratic Party of
the State. In a measure, Gov.
Brown is reaSserting his lead
ership on both the State and
National levels. which Mr..
Ziffren held. The Democratic
Party of California has for
years had its liberal and con-
servative groups. They have
fought bitterly-and it looks
now as though the struggle
may begin all over again. Mr..
ziftren, friend and supporter
OF emocrat tic National
Chairman Paul M. Butler, has
been a thorn in the side of
the conservatives in more
ways than one.
Mr.. ziffren and Mr.. Butler
have been two of the loudest
shouters, also, against the
Democratic leadership Of
Congress, by Senator Lyndon
johnson and Speaker Sam
Rayburn, both of Texas.
They have taken the attitude
that if the Southern Demo-
Gratis do not wish to play
ball with the Northern lib
erals and the candidates
they may select for the par
ty'S national ticket-why, let
the Southern Democrats take
a walk; that the liberals can
win the election of a Presi-
dent without the South.
There has been loud talk by
both that some of the South
ern delegations sent to the
national convention may be
unacceptable, and so not
seated when the time comes.
