Thus they don't see why we
have such stars in our eyes
about the integration drive
that lies within the Inner

And, finally, the British
have long memories. They
can recall when Napoleon
"integrated" the continent

in a little island kingdom,
they are not pleased to con-

campaign staff he put to-
gether before being el5owed
out Of the 1860 contest by
party leaders. Nor have
Rockefeller hackers given up
hope that somehow he can
still be nominated at Chicago
rather than Mr.. Nixon.
The Wisconsin story has
broken. too, when California
public opinion polls are show
ing that the Vice President
is slipping in his home State.
One fatty said he could
not carry California against
either Senator Kennedy or
Adlai Stevenson.
That this news had had
some impact appeared in q
sudden move to revive inter-
est in a Nixon Rockefeller
ticket by friends of the Vice
President. The Vice President
is known to feel that he,
himself. is the issue and
wants not to appear to have
to lean on Gov. Rockefeller.
In this connection, the
Wall Street Journal made the
interesting finding that the
anti-Nixon feeling was al
most wholly personal distaste
for him. Vague ly, mo-
notonously but emphatically,
many people who liked Ike
say there is something about
Mr.. Nixon they don't like.
This is, of course, the
hardest argument to answer
because it does not argue.
1t would be a remarkable
upset if Mr.. Nixon falls by
the wayside at Chicago. but
timidity is the occupational
disease of politicians and
they loathe the smell Of
defeat.

Khrushchev and the Scriptures

Of false prophets, which come
to you in sleeps clothing,
but inwardly they are raven
ing wolves"
To many people in the
world today, the words Of
Nikita Khrushchev are 20:
accepted as sincere because
they come from a man whose
past deeds indicate that he
believes "the end always
justifies the means" - a man
who would ask his adversary
to disarm completely without
giving any acceptable assur-
ances that he will do like
wise.
What is the answer? Jesus
said: Pray for them" Maybe
the Soviet Premier doesn't
know that many people in the
world today do pray for him
in the hope that he and his
followers will abandon their
atheism and their unscIupu-
lous rule over the oppressed.
Hundreds Of people said so
in letters commenting On an
editorial by this writer en-
titled Prayers for Khru-
shchev." which appeared in
U. S. News & World Report
on October 5. 1859, just after
the Soviet Premier visited the
United States. 1t read in part
as follows:
"All of us must come to
learn that there is indeed a
substitute for the hates and
the passions that have led
so often to organized mur-
der 1t is human love. It
can permeate nations as well
as their rulers. And in that
spirit, we pray for the trans
gressors in the Kremlin in
the hope that they may be
inspired to take to heart
the words of the Gospel:
The time is fulfilled, and
the Kingdom Of Heaven is
at hand: Repent ye, and
believe the Gospel. Repent
for the Kingdom of God is
at hand.
Blessed are the meek: for
they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which
do hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they shall
be filled.
Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in
heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peace
makers: for they shall be
called the children of God ."

Sources close to Vice .Presi-
dent Nixon are now conceding
he probably viii not make a
big showing in Wisconsin's
preferential primary next Tues
day. But they are discounting
the expected results as mean
ingless as far as the November
election is concerned.
Some Republicans had been
hoping for a big Nixon vote as
another measure of the Vice
Presidents popularity. as in the
case of the New Hampshire
March 8 primary. But on the
basis Of reports being received
from Wisconsin by the Nixon
camp here these hopes will not
be realized.
Since the Vice President is
unopposed for the Republican
Nomination, the Democratic
struggle between Senators Ken
nedy of Massachusetts, and
Humphrey of Minnesota has
captured about all the interest
there is in the Wisconsin vot-
| ing.
Many to CrOSS-VOte
Sources close to the Vice
President say they do not ex-
pect a large Republican turn
out and expect that many of
those who do vote will exercise
their privilege under Wiscon-
sins election laws and cross
over to vote in the Democratic
primary.
In saying there would be no
significance in small vote for
the Vice President, they cite
the l948 Wisconsin primary
At that time the contest was
among the Republicans while
President Truman was unop-
posed for denomination.
In the preferential voting
Mr.. Truman polled only 25,415
votes. Yet, 1t was pointed out,
Mr.. Truman went on to carry
the State in the general elec-
ton. Thomas E. Dewey, who
went on to win the COP
nomination, ran third in the
Republican primary. He got
40,443 votes, trailing Harold E.

Of that State.
At this point, it seemed
possible that Mr.. Nixon de-
cided to cry wolf" in order
to spur a lethargic rank and
file into giving him a big vote
of confidence despite his lack
of opposition. 1t is an old
political tactic to maximize
confident candidates dangers
so that his anticipated VIC
tory will seem the more re-
markable.
The next day, however, re-
porters for the Wall Street
Journal wrote that in talking
to hundreds of Wisconsin
voters they had found IAN

the independents Mr.. Nixon
is wooing so assiduously But
the Journal said also that
hard core Republicans were
showing an ominous lack of
enthusiasm which could cost
him money and volunteer
effort" in the campaign.
The whole carefully de-
tailed account supports the
announced apprehensions of
the Nixon staff. If those
apprehensions materialize,
much more than a propa-
ganda defeat is involved.

A prospect exists that the
Wisconsin primary may be
even more decisive for Re-
publicans this year than for
the Democrats who originally
monopolized political discus
sion regarding it.
With the actual voting less
than a week away, news
dispatches from the State
have switched their empha-
sis from the Kennedy Hum
phrey struggle to disclosures
that the, Vice President is in
trouble there. Furthermore,
his apprehensions are &C
knowledged in the most ir-

which is In the expenditure

The Nixon Strategists, it
was reported. had decided to
spend an extra $4,000 be-
tween now and Tuesday to
reduce the possibility that he
will run a poor third to both
Democrats. The confusing
Wisconsin law allows Repub-
licans to cross over to the
Democratic primary without
losing their registration, and
many have signif1ed they
would do just that.
Some are Catholics who
wish to commend their at
tractive coreligionist, Sena-
tor Kennedy, to the Nation.

DAVID LAWRENCE
Dictotor's End -Justifies- Means Policy
Viewed as Making Sincerity Doubtful

Nikita Khrushchev is q
politician and, when he
wishes to curry favor with
an audience in a foreign land,
he goes so far as to give
Christianity a qualified in
dorsement. even though he
is a professed atheist himself.
But while Mr.. Khrushchev
is willing to quote the Scrip
lures, he indicates that he
doesn't really understand
them. 1t may be a hopeful
sign that the Soviet Premier
has begun to discuss Chris
tian principles. In an off,
the-cuff press conference in
France, the Soviet ruler said:
There is much in Chris-
tianity which is common to
us Communists. I only dis
agree on one point and that
was when Christ said. If I
am struck on one cheek. I
will turn the other I be-
lieve in another principle:
If I am hit on the left cheek,
I hit them back on the right
cheek so strongly that the
head may fall of. This is
my only difference with
Christ"
But this so-called differ
ence" emphasizes something
that is the root of the worlds
tension today. If Mr.. Khru-
shchev could only understand
the teachings of Jesus and
accept them in their real con-
text, the whole world would
benefit from the change that
could ensue. For here's what
Jesus said, as rendered in the
Book of Luke:
Love your enemies, do
good to them which hate you.
Bless them that curse you,
and pray for them which de-
spitefully use you.
And unto him that smiteth
thee on the one cheek offer
also the other. And as ye
would that men should do
to you, do ye also to them
likewise"
This has been known for
ages as the Golden Rule. In
it is embodied the doctrine
of conciliation in human dis
putes. Turning the other
cheek" is, Of course, figura-
tive, and there is nothing in
the Scriptures which bellies
the right of self-defense or
self-preservation in combat.
