The candidates for the
American presidency have a
common problem in the next
few weeks. which will be
world personalities at the
United Nations in New York,
and then the World Series
with its domination of the
American scene.
The outlook, indeed, is in
this unusual year that Amer
leans are headed for a
British-style general election
in which issues hot off the
griddle are debated in a few
weeks of intensive campaign
ing with the voter decision
rendered forthwith.
Fortunately Vice President
Nixon and Senator Kennedy
have the youth, vigor and
grasp of affairs to cope with
this new look in presidential
campaigns. 1t is one which
could very well separate the
men from the boys in dra-
matte and eXpec d
fashion.
The World Series is of
course an accustomed and
attractive interlude. 1t is well
coined by candidates who can
use it to relax. re-group their
forces and even think about
what they are saying, pro-
vided they enjoy that useful
capacity.
But the United Nations
drama about to unfold in the
modernistic building on the
Fast River is another cup Of
tea. President Eisenhower
and this country are not in
control of that state where
Khrushchev, Castro, Nasser,
Gomulka, Sukarno and may
be even the Congo's Lu-
mumba will be throwing
their weight around.

it of special interest. We
have been hearing about
chronological change for a
good many years, but it
seems only yesterday the i'm
pact of it became important.
and the end is by no means
in sight. AS an observer. of
the Southern scene, I have
watched workers disappear
from textile mills until the
vast floors of whirring, clack-
ing looms and shuttleS seem
almost uninhabited. This
could be seen and under
stood. But now electronicS is
in charge. This one word eX-
plains the tremendous ac-
celeration of automation to
a point which literally stag
gers the imagination.
1t is already apparent that
government, managem e n t
and labor must work out a
plan for its application. 1t
cannot be slowed or stopped.
1t must be continued. But
the human issues involved
are so great as to require the
best from us as heirs of
Western civilization with its
humanism and its Christian
ethic.
No fairy story can match
the incredibility of automa-
tion. Its most significant fea-
ture is that it permits pro-
duction of goods or services
not possible in the past. 1t
is not merely that aStonish-
ing processes can. be devel-
oped for almost every item
on the consumer lists which
gives us most concern. 1t is
the problem of a growing
work population and the de-
cline in jobs which already
is becoming a world prob
lem. The USSR and nations

shchev, is not only an insult
to the good sense Of the
American people, it is unreal
istic. What happens at the
U. N. will suggest the dimen-
sions of the American prob
lem in foreign affairs far bet
ter than the generalization of
interested parties at home.
For better, for worse. for
richer. for poorer, this is the
world in which this nation
must chart its course.
At this point most mem
bers of Congress would glad
ly vote funds to move the
United Nations to Switzer-
land, a more limited and
quieter center of world COM
municationS and one which
already has proved its alb
sorptive powers in world af-
fairs. One Democratic Sena-
tor suggests that the Rookie
fellers be blamed for having
brought the U. N. headquar-
teds to New York with lavish
property gifts.
For it is readily apparent
to the political trade that
what happens at the U. N. is
unpredictable and, in its do
mestic political impact, bound
to be largely accidental.
At first glance the Vice
President seems to be helped
in that Americans will rally
to President Eisenhower and
identify the administration
cause with patriotism. Sena-
tor Kennedy's criticisms must
to a degree be muted and he
must tread carefully wherever
he goes.
But it is an advantage that
could be lost swiftly by an
administration misstep or an
impression that the admins
tration has lost ground with
friends and foes. 49,.

that the presidential election

Impressed by what tele-
vision and radio did for him
on his last visit to the United
States, Nikita Khrushchev is
anxious to use Americas
broadcaSting facilities again
to try to put over his propa-
ganda to millions of listeners
in this country. Will he
succeed? There are indica-
tionS he will fail.
The Moscow government
has published in English a
book that has just reached
Washington which eXults
over the propaganda gains
the Communists achieved
while Khrushchev was here
a year ago.
After going through the
usual TRADES and diStor-
tions about the "warmonger-
ing" and the "befogging Of
mems minds" that allegedly
goes on over the television
and radio in this country,
the book says:
"And vet in the history of
American television there
will always remain thirteen
bright days when the intent
blue eyes of televiSion cam
eras with their electronic
power of vision tirelesSly
followed KhruShchev's tour
of the United States. Ameri-
cans have to thank televi-
sion for the fact that not
just a few dozen fortunate
journalists out of the hun
dreds who accom- mpanie d
Khrushchev on his tour were
able to keep in close touch
with him, but also tens of
millions of Americans Sit
ting in front of their tele-
vision sets. To the specific
nature of televiSion Ameri-
cans owe the fact that the
great ideas of Khrushchev's
tour reached them in their
true shape and not distorted
in the crooked mirror of the
tendentious press.
1T would be naive to sus-
pect merica's televiSion
bosses of being exceptionally
objective. They simply could
not ignore the demands of
millions of American viewers.
Their desire to outrun and
outShoot their competitors.

forced other considerations
into the background. But, of

country indicators reveal no
pattern. The candidates get
good crowds. but neither has
anything approaching hero
status. The number of unde-
cided voters is everywhere
thought to be large.
The further challenge to
the Vice President and Sena-
tor Kennedy is to strengthen
the party organizations. On
both sides, feuds abound and
rival personalities are fight
ing for seats on the gravy
train.

Notes made in Miami
Ninety per cent of the mil
lions of electric light bulbs
used in America. as well as
all the glass tubes used in
radio and television sets, ex-
cept better tubes, are pro-
duced by just IA glasS-blow-
ing machines, each operated
by one worker.
This one statistic, among
hundred d S, illustrates the
m Gaming of automation.
Literature on this subject
was available at the ninth
annual convention of the
International Union of Elec-
trical. Radio and Machine
Workers in Miami. The
strength of this relatively
new organization lies in the
fact that it is a clean union
which made a successful,
historic fight to drive Com
muniSts out of it's member
ship. It's individualistic pres
ident, James Carey, was the
first to blow the whistle on
Dave Beck and other cor
ruptionistS in labor.
It, like other unions, Seri-
ously is concerned with the
industrial future in which
automation is already one of
the major problems. The
union members are being
we'll educated in the prob
lems already at hand and
those which will develop.
All future negotiations be-
tween labor and manage
ment the world over will
produce increasing discus
sion and disputes growing
out of machine replacement
of hands and skills.

newspapermen invited as OBJ

course, they did not fully
foreSee what they had COM
mitted themselves to.
'KhruShchev's speeches in
America may be said to have
given birth to an entirely new
form of publicistic activity
based on the techniques of
the atomic age, and as diff
ferent from the traditions of
publicistic writing as it is
from those of political
speeches. We have in mind
free television debates in
which many millions of view
ers can watch theological
clashes between the main
forces of the Communist ide-
ology and the main forces of
the theology Of capitalism. ...
Altogether, American tele-
vision lenses scanned Khrush-
chev's face for dozens of
hours. And the tens of mil
lions of people who saw him
on television realized that
this was StraightforwardneSs
sincerity, and truth.
by the magic of television
it came about that for thir-
teen days nearly every Ameri-
can home had a Communist
guest who did not hide his
views and intentions in the
face Of all America, and of
the whole world.
For tens of millions of
Americans, television became
in those days a school of So
cial thought, an unforget-
table university"
AS for the wiShful think
erS in America, the book
quotes a speech made after
his arrival in Vladivostok by
Khrushchev in which he said:
When I was preparing for
the trip to the United States
at the invitation of President
Eisenhower, some people in
America said: Khrushchev
will come to our country, he
will see our wealth, our
strength, and he will change
his views. Perhaps they hoped
that I would change my views
and abandon Communist
ideas? But, Of course, only
foolish people could think
that"

know how the Soviet ruler
tricked the United States
President into receiving him
