Wisconsin's CostIiest Conpoion

Not the least of the evil
dences of the young Senator's
cool nerve in this trying CAM
paign was that he carries on
as he began. His brothers
and sisters gave him a private
plane as a campaign contri-
button; he uses it. He con-
serves his energies by using
a private car and does not
take the bus. His efficient,
large staff, including his
private pollster, operates in
the open.
The Kennedys do not
condeScend to a less-well-off
public by any changes OF
dress or manner. They come
from the great world and
they carry it about with
them. Some observers think
1t is a large part of their
appeal.
Certainly the experiences
Of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
and the rich Democrat he
displaced, Averell Hartman,
indicate that voters feel no
personal resentment against
rich politicians. In fact, a
surprisingly large number of
Senators are rich today,
probably many more than
people realize.
Yet Vice President Nixon
is only the latest national
candidate to learn that
money can suddenly become
an issue. He survived it in
1852, but what he had to do
to explain it is part Of the
political folklore and is re-
called surprisingly often by
voters polled about his
chances this year.

American scientists were
right in concentrating on

United States today has nine

Russia has only three. Also,
the latest satellite sent up

Electioneering Expenses Called Problem
That Gets Bigger With the Country

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
observers are calling the
Kennedy Humphrey primary
race the most intense, elab-
crate and costliest campaign
in the history of the State.
In the final week, Vice Pres
ident Richard Nixon's camp
sent at least $25,000 into
Wisconsin after receiving
warnings that he might run
a poor third to the two
Democrats in the voting.
In Washington, Wisconsin's

bigger, the problem gets
bigger with it, and an astro-
nomical dimension has been
added to it by television.
Various remedies have been
suggested, some of them
coming from the business
community.
The paradox of the situa-
ton is that the public shows

Peter, pushing his empire

But history has a way of
taking nondescript men and
cities and making them into
pages or footnotes of recorded
events.
On March Is, 1917, Car
Nicholas II abdicated for
himself and son. Later the

transferred to Pskov, south
of then st. Petersburg. They
spent almost a year there.
But a Czech division. we'll

BY mid-July, fear of the

If not all. the rest.
Thus when last January
the Senate Republicans set
out to make Senator Dirksen

much shaking of heads. Both
Senators Taft and Know

been said about them other

not too delicately. that this
quality - strength of char
acter was notably absent
in Senator Dirksen.
But what has since hap
pened? The Dirksen who had
so long been thought so
weak began repeatedly to
show undeniable strength,
both in his convictions and
his work. Soon the Senate,
at least, was aware that the
new G. o. P. spokesman was
an abler tactician than either
Senator Taft or Senator
Knowland. Moreover, once he
had given his word. he stood
with it as bravely as either of
them ever did.
The plain truth today may
seem surprising. Senator
DirkSen has behaved with
efficiency, with courage, with
honor, with faithfulneSs to
his partisan obligations but
with a higher faithfulness to
the interests of the United
States of America.
The latest of many in
stances was in the Senate's
civil rights fight. The Sena-
tor stood for a reasonable
bill. Stoically he resisted all
pressure from other Repub-
licans for a punitive measure
for which the South, of
course. would have blamed
the Democrats. He was un-
willing to play that kind of
politics with that kind of an

II there were any real JUS
tice in politics-as. of course,
there isn't-the Republicans
would now be designating
Senator Everett NJ. Dirksen
as their Legislative Man of
the Year.
He has now entered the
last lap of his first session as
the G. o. P. Senate Leader.
Simple fairness compels this
report, from a correspondent
who once had no difficulty in
restraining his admiration.
This Senator is doing a good
job. a responsible job. for his
party and even for his coun-
try.
Senator Dirksen is actually
a better floor leader than was
either of his far more IA
nous immediate predeces-
sors, Senators Robert A. Taft
and William F. Knowland.
Old cliches die hard, per-
haps because Q cliche usually
becomes one only because
it is based on truth. Senator
DirkSen was long seen by
most Washington observers
as a man of few fixed con-
victions and many thousands

skipping nimbly about among
the issues.
AS a member of the House
of Representatives from I'LL
nois, he had been an isola-
zionist and then an inter-
nationalist and then an
isolationiSt again through
eight terms in Congress.
When, in 1851, he came to
the Senate this was the blunt
but wide estimate: His pro-
motion could be described as
the Senate's loss and the
Houses gain.

alizing it either by his own
actions or the conduct of
his supporters.
The immediate money diff
flculties are felt here most
heavily by the Humphreys,
who have no private means.
Always more candid than
most people, the Senator ad-
mitted that he needed to
make a showing in Wiscon-
sin to keep the money COM
ing in, almost as badly as he
needed the delegates to the
convention.
Election morning he and
Mrs. Humphrey shuffled their
bills, sighed over their size
and insisted they would con-
tinue the fight. Mrs. Hum
phrey then went to a Mil
waukee shop for a fresh
Muriel blue costume to take
into West Virginia. She
figured she needed it for
morale purposes, and few
women would deny her their
backing.
In the long run, Senator
John Kennedy probably
faces the high cost of cam
paigning as an issue in a
more perilous form. The
Kennedys are rich and can
always fight another day.
What they cannot possibly
know is what the public re-
CARDS as permissible in this
area; they must fly it blind.

means that nations may be
able to learn instantly by
photographs about military
preparations and activities Of
other nations. 1t probably
will be possible always to con-
ceal certain weapons, but any
suspicious movement of large
military forces or unusual
concentration at bases can be
detected from the air so as
to give warnings against a
surprise attack.
The advantages of the
earth-circling intruments are
not by any means confined
to the military side. There is
a definite prospect that in
formation will be collected
about the origin of weather
conditions so that advance
data will enable the earth's

a small story of Vice Pres

Russia.
In 1919, in famine-inf1ict-

low. Within three weeks he
was dead of typhus-a louise
and-fiea-borne disease which
killed several million persons,
Slavic men, women and chill
dren, in the years 1919-1924.
Now comes an obscure
item in the news, saying that
only now is the widow of
Jacob Sverdlov dead, at "a,

headed their publishing de-
partment and worked the
rest of her life in propaganda
pamphlets and books.
1t is necessary to dig into
books to find the story of
long dead Jacob Sverdlov.
He was the great and good
friend of Lenin. He did not
think too much of a fellow
revolutionary named Joseph
Stain. Once Lenin sent
Sverdlov to remove Stain
from the area where Leon
TrotSky was in command of
the Red army, then fighting
remnants of the Czech di-
vision and other White Rus
sian forces. Until the louise
bit him he was second only
to Lenin and Trotsky and,
