and even personal patriotism,
Is 1t not possible that those
who promoted DR.. Pauling's
petition may have been acting
on behalf of all mankind?
Unfortunately, it is also pos
sible that some may have
been acting on behalf of the
Communist Party, whose aims
are certainly far from bene-
VIOLENT.
Yet, it is a pitiful injustice
when men of the highest
principles are subjected to
embarrassing investigation
and publicity, with the i'm
plication that they have left
wing sympathies-all because
they have the courage to ex-
press a conviction that the
uses of science be directed
toward the betterment of
mankind, not its destruction.
Indeed, it has almost reached
a point where all peace low
ers are regarded with Suspi-
cion. At the same time, our
attitude towards a movement
OF naziSm is almost indiffer-
ent, because we feel it to be
1mpotent, unable to present
a real threat to our form of
Government.
In any endeavor to rout
subversive seeds from our
midst, we must take care,
lest we destroy what is most
precious to us and devise our
own Big Brother system.
Somewhere between the ex-
tremes of anarchy and ty-
ranny lies democracy. Let us
not lose our balance - in
either direction. There must
be freedom for the individ-
ual. yet restraint enough to
protect the rights of all and
preserve the democratic sys-

Commend PouIinq

I would like vigorously to
object to the fact that DIR.
Linus Pauling is being sub
jected to the inquisitorial
suspicious of the Internal
Security Committee.
The propensity of certain
legislators for investing with
suspicion every decent Amer
ican attempt at control of
atomic testing and weaponry
is itself suspect, and ought
to be the subject Of congress
sional inquiry. ~.
DR.. Pauling is a great and
humane American, and those
among us who can recognize
this species for its uncount-
able worth to our society
should support his efforts,
and express appreciation for
all he has done and is trying
to do to bring sanity and
humanity to the field of
atomic energy. If our country
is to preserve its integrity
and strength as a nation a
goodly number Of its citizens
are going to have to stand up
for these things and not sit
down until respect is paid to
them. DR.. Pauling is one who
has, and he ought not to be
officially tormented for his
efforts.
Marion SittIer.
One of our leading news
papers made the remark that
DR.. Pauling "has been de-
scribed as left of center" !"
Described by whom? And for
what reason?
I have always held a per-
sonal faith that most great
scientists and philosophers
seek to serve truth and the
good of mankind before all
other things. With this be-
lief in mind, it is not surpris-
ing that so many scientists
have signed a petition to do
away with a practice harmful
to the people of the. world.
There is no question of the
: evils of nuclear testing, Just
as there is no question of
the evils of war. What could
be more inhumane or more
idiotic than that man should
seek to destroy himself?

With the Democratic Ma
tional Convention due to open
in Los Angeles July IL, less
than two weeks away. it looks
like a toSS-up whether Con-
gress will complete its legis-
lative program in time to ad-
journ sine die before that
date. Should it fail - with
major legislation hanging in
the air - the Democrats will
have to decide whether to ad-
journ anyway or to take a
recess until after the Repub-
hcan National Convention has
completed its work in Chi
cago, probably July %. This
would mean reasSembling of
Congress in Washington
around August /. Or Congress
could continue its sessions
during the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. This, how
ever, is unthinkable. Three
Democratic Senators - Lyn-
don Johnson of Texas, ma
jority leader; Senator John F.
Kennedy of Massachusetts,
and Senator Stuart Syming-
ton Of MiSSouri-are leading
candidates for their party's
presidential nomination. In
addition, Speaker Sam Ray
burn of Texas is campaign
manager for Senator John
son, and several Democratic
Senators are mentioned as
likely candidates for the vice.
presidential domination,
among them Senator Hubert
Humphrey of Minnesota, Sen
ator Gore of Tennessee and
Senator jackson of Wash
ington.
G. o. p. Attitude PuzzIing
The attitude of the Repub-
licans is puzzling. Judging
from the comments of Senator
Everett Dirksen of Illinois,
COP. leader of the Senate,
there seems no great DISPOSE
ton to press things to a fin
iSh before the opening of the
Democratic convention. The
Republicans are not anxious
for the Democratic Congress
to make a record with which
to go to the country. Further
more, they are strongly op-
posed to some Of the measures
which the Democrats are de-
sirous of enacting into law.
Mr.. Dirksen talks of holding
no sessions on Saturday, and
OF taking a vacation-a long
week end extending over Mon
day, July 4. Such a program
will make it exceedingly diff
f1cult to put the finishing
touches on the many bills,
some of them of real import
ance, which still await final
action, in one or both houses.
There is another angle. If
Congress should adjourn sine
die - before the Democratic
convention - without having
acted on legislation which
President Eisenhower deems
of great Importance, the
President can call the Con-
gress back into special session
in August or September and
submit recommendations to
it. That is the kind of thing
that former President Tru-
man did to the 80th Congress,
Republican dominated, in
l948-which did not help the
Republican Party bit in the
presidential campaign of that
year. Mr.. Truman labeled it
a do nothing Congress"-be-
cause it would not adopt any
Of the legislation he urged
upon it-and the name stuck.
There is always the chance,
however, that President Eli
Senhower would prefer to have
the Democrats quit cold and
leave some of their legislative
promises unfulfilled. Indeed,
it looks now as though the
Democratic Congress is going
to leave Washington without
enacting any farm legislation
despite all it's talk of want
ing to help the farmers. The

THE POLITICAL MILL
Democrats Want Conqress to End
By GOULD LINCOLN


Senate passed a wheat bill
which would have increased
price supports for wheat from
rs per cent to IS per cent Of
parity" and impose certain
acreage restrictions. The
House had a bill of its own.
1t refused to substitute the
Senate bill, and then killed
its own bill by a vote of 236
to ITO. The Democratic Con-
greSS failed absolutely to
draft and enact a major farm
bill, although strongly urged
to do so by the Republican
President.
Should Congress return to
Washington after the ma
tional political conventions.
a strange situation could
present itself. Presumably, a
Democratic nominee for
President would find himself
addressing a Republican
nominee for President-Vice
President NiXon-and calling
Mr.. Nixon Mr.. President"
For the Vice President is
president of the Senate and
Mr.. President" is the term
used by all Senators when
they address the chair for
recognition. In addition, a
Democratic C a didate for
President would be regarded
as the leader of his party. If
the nominee should be Lyn-
don johnson, well and good.
For Senator johnson is the
Democratic leader of the
Senate. But if Senator Ken
nedy, for example, should be
the presidential nominee,
would he continue to follow
Senator JohnSon'S leadership,
or would he expect Senator
johnson to follow his, Ken
nedy'S, leadership? It's a nice
question, in view of the up
coming election campaign,
when Kennedy will be ex-
pected to speak for the party
If he is the presidential
nominee, and in view of the
fact johnson, if he is not the
presidential minee will
nevertheless become Demo-
cratic leader of the Senate in
the new Congress, with whom
Kennedy, if President, will
have to deal next year.
Many Bills to Handle
The array of important
measures that still await &C
tion-many of which have
been promised to the voters
by the DemocratS-is formid-
able. 1t will take long hours
of work daily on the part of
the Senate to dispose of
them. In the list are half a
dozen money bills, including
the Mutual Security bill re-
garded as of great impor-
tance and over which there
is still controversy. There is
the minimum wage bill,
which some of the Democrats
say they must pass, raising
the minimum wage from 81
to SIPS an hour and extend
ing greatly the number of
employees covered by the law.
There is the school construc-
ton bill, and a housing bill,
and a bill to help pay for the
medical care of the aged.
These are controversial sub
jects and likely to lead to
considerable debate and bit
terneSs.
Obviously, If Speaker Ray
burn is to do his candidate,
Senator johnson, much good
in Los Angeles, he must get
to the convention city in ad-
vance of the conventions
opening-indeed, the sooner
the better. Yet the Speaker
cannot desert the House. And
Senator johnson. the ma
jority leader, is pinned here
while the Senate is in session
although Senators Kenne-
dy and Symington may skip
off to Los Angeles whenever
they wish. 1t is easy to un-
derstand the desire Of the
Democrats to wind up the
present congressional session.

Prince Souvanna appeared
confident he could unenarl the
tangled rivalries and ambitions
