EIIender on Farm Situation

ential Senator's are raising is
whether this sorry situation
Is in large part the result oi

SO, to what extent. The
question is pertinent, since
the voters show no sign Of
dissatisfaction with their de-
cision, 30 often repeated, to
give the Republican hero
President q Democratic Con-
gress.
In fact, they have already
virtually insured that the
Congress shall be Democratic

do about q President. It even
appears that the congress

Of the Senate inevitably will

could be vastly augmented
beyond anything possible in

Senator Called FotoIistic in Planning
No Hearings on the Problem

Senator Ellender, Democrat
Of Louisiana, arose as the
poll tax debate in the SEN
ate concluded to urge his col
leagues to attend q private
showing late that afternoon
Of some films he took on q
recent trip through Central
and South America.
The Senator had personally
shot over 5000 feet Of Aim
and 1t had been edited into
four 15-minute segments with
sound track to explain the
pictures. His view was that
all who attended would flnd
1t interesting and well worth
their while"
Recently Senator Ellender
in his capacity as chairman
of the Senate Agriculture
Committee was visited by q
colleague deeply concerned
about the anarchy which
passes for a farm program in
this divided government. The
chairman agreed that the sit
uation was unattractive. But
he said there was no serious
program before the commit
tee and he had no plans for
hearings.
He was fatalistic about 1t.
Any measure agreeable to the
President and Agriculture
Secretary Benson could not
pass the Democratic Congress,
he was sure. He was equally
certain that the President
would veto any bill put to-
gether by the Agriculture
spokesmen in Congress whom
Democrats trust.
A tough veteran Of Huey

The image Of great leaders
traditionally Is one Of size.
Once the image was that Of
kings and thrones, elevated
TO lift them above the COM

crowns on their heads to give

Even now, many persons
think Of size as impressive.
But, with r. D. R.. 1t was

quality, too, which enabled
him to defeat polio. and
though completely paralyZed

He was tested severely. He
was President during q great

himself and, more important,

Humphrey Risks Boomerang

In the State as a whole and
to initiate the value Of win
ming certain rural areas In
which Senator Humphrey Is
presumed to be the stronger.
1t is the kind Of "bossism"
and denial Of the popular
will" against which the ex-
treme liberals among the
Humphrey camp are in con-
slant and full-throated out
cry-when it is practiced by
others. And Senator Hum
phrey himself is presented as
the sole, 100 per cent, simon
pure "antiboss" candidate in
the Democratic Party.
The likely effect, Of course,
is to compromise the worth
of Senator Kennedy's victory
Statewide, should he win
one. Indeed, 1t Is now even
possible for him to win q
popular majority and still
not a majority Of the State
delegation to the Democratic
National Convention.
On its face, it is, for Sen
ator Humphrey, heads-I-win
and tails-you-lose.. For Sen
ator Kennedy has been aware
all along that because Of his
Eastern background he must
look reasonably good in the
Midwest or throw in his
hand. If he loses the Wiscon-
sin farm areas and still car
ries the big cities (which
looks to be a probable out

jority may do him no good

cerned.
But II Senator Kennedy Is
not now given a humping
licking by Senator Hum
phrey. it is Senator Hum
phrey's victory that will be
questionable. For Senator
Kennedy can always pick
himself up out of the dust
and say he was counted out,

tionists. It Is only q question
Of time before the political
parties combine against him.
The challenge to the free
enterprise system and the
marked tendency to go IN the
direction Of socialism viii
cause plenty Of friction In the
Parliament.
It has been assumed, more
over. that Gen. de Gaulle
would end the Algerian
trouble, which is costing
France 50 billion q year and
has gone on for six years.
To grant "self-determination"
isn't the final answer. The
French settlers have been
repeatedly attacked by the
Moslems. In one month 20
European farmers in Algeria
have been killed. The army
has been fighting the guerril-
las and naturally sympathizes
with the French settlers, who
don't want to see negotiations
carried on with the 'Moslem
cutthroats," as they are
called.
For Gen. de Gaulle TO take
the side Of the Moslems
against the French settlers
may for the time being be
defended as q step toward
'pacification" and as q means
of ending insurrection by
French army men against the
state, but it will not lead to
internal peace. The Commu-
mist infiltrators in Algeria,
who are helped by arms from
neighboring countries in
Africa, will see that the
disturbance continues.
The real adversary in
France is the enemy from
within - the Communists.
This infiltration has broken
down the French Parliament
and now Is paralyZing French
investments in Algeria, even
as socialistic measures are
put forward In Paris that
weaken the economy Of
France itself. Absolutism is
not the simple answer to Gen.
de Gaule's problems. What
Is needed is q keener percep-
tion Of the real influences
that have brought France to
grasp at totalitarian meas
ures to save itself from
political and economic dis
integration.

Most of the States wisely
depend instead on the deci-

tions.
Both systems have faults.
But the primary system has
nothing but faults. the
greatest Of which is ire
sponsibility. It is open to all

promises, to all manner Of
emotional hoopla, to success
based upon a winning smile
or the like. Still, there it is.
1t happens to be the system
in Wisconsin, the locale Of
the first really big primary

Nobody with experience Of

any vast, tremulous moral
Indignation at what goes on

No doubt the Humphrey
forces have won q famous
battle by changing the rules
in the middle of the game
against the Kennedy people
in WiSconSin's critical presi-
Dental primary campaign.
1t is entirely possible, how
ever, that the Humphreyites
will yet lose the war over this
episode. For If Senator John
F. Kennedy of Massachusetts
comes out alive, so to speak,
in the Wisconsin primary
election Of April IS, he is
likely to be the ultimate
gamer for the Democratic
presidential nomination, and
not Senator Hubert H. Hum
phrey Of Minnesota.
Voters sometimes respond
angrily to rigging such strug-
gles-and in areas beyond
and far larger than the scene
Of the rigging itself. This
the late Senator Robert A.
Taft Of Ohio found to his
cost. Overzealous Taft sup
porters tried to load the dice
against Dwight D. Eisenhower
in Texas in 1852 when these
two powerhouses were seek

the Republican National Con-

The circumstances in

to provide the crusher for
his subsequent defeat at the

Just back Of US now is the
January birthday Of Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Ahead of us is
the anniversary of that soft
April day when death came
for him in the Little White
House at Warm Springs.
The day had started well. A
rather large and ample maid,
with whom ne liked to talk,
had asked him. after the
breakfast tray was brought,
what he thought about REIN
carnation. The subject. said
the President, interested him.
They both agreed to that. He
then asked what incarnation
she would choose II 1t were
possible to come back to

tated q moment and said:

laughing.

France suspends certain
constitutional guarant te es,
and adopts quaSi-totalitarian
rule-and the free world ap-
plauds. This strange paradox
emphasizes how easy 1t Is
sometimes to accept the
philosophy that the end
justifies the means.
Did President de Gaulle
really have to ask for rule
by decree? He needed far
reaching authority, Of course,
to deal with the rebellion In
Algeria, but why was 1t nee
essary to abandon so much OF
the constitutional system in
side France, itself?
The answer is that the
crisis is deeper than the is
sues raised by the Algerian
insurrection. Premier Debre
anticipated criticism and said
yesterday in the formal state
ment Of policy to the Parlia-
rnent:
I'VE do not have enough
power to subdue attempts at
subversion."
The fact is that Gen. de
Gaulle has not dealt effec-
lively with internal sub
version. The Communists, for
instance, have managed for
several years now to sabotage
parliamentary government in
France. Instead Of outlawing
the Communist Party and
ferreting out the subversives
who infest the executive de-
partment, the De Gaulle
regime has shown signs Of
unwittingly adopting some Of
