Three Visitors Wonder at Seeing Fear
BY This Country of Khrushchev

looked the military historical
fact that the Russians did
not win the war against the
Germans: Hitler just lost it.
And that is a great difference
when one analyses the pres
ent Soviet capabilities.
There is no doubt that you
have become the prime tar
get of the Kremlin; hence,
you cannot become negligent
about your preparedness.
But be sure that Russia is not
the power it is supposed to
be. by so many of your lead
ers, when faced with tradi-
tional American courage, de-
termination and unmatched
skill and inventiveness."
Then my friends had a
number of why's" why do
you permit Fidel Castro who
is the Kremlin's creation to
kick you around as if you
were a third rate power?"
why did you invite Premi-
er Khrushchev to the United
States last year and thus
compel other European lead
ers who wanted no truck with
the butcher of Budapest to
follow your example?" why
do you apply drastic sane
tions against the Dominican
dictatorship when you did
not break off relations with
the Soviet Union after tens
of thousands of Hungarian
patriots were murdered by
Soviet soldiers?" why do
your political parties insist
on the slogan of liberation
of the satellite countries,
when you did not lift a fin
ger to help the Hungarian,
Polish and East German lib
erty movements which were
partly caused by their belief
in your official statements?"
why do you undermine your
own loyal ally, France, in its
efforts to stabilize North Af-
rica in a manner which is
beneficial to the struggle be-
tween the free and the Com
munist world?" And so on
into the evening.
Your reporter answered to
the best of his ability, point
ing out that anti-colonialism
and assistance to the under
dog have been Americas ira
ditional policy ever since this
country won its own free
dom from the British. This
may not always dovetail with
the policies of the old Euro

past has been predicated on

ments and vote Republican,
anyhow. in the presidential
election.
There has been talk Of
third party tickets for Presi-
dent or at least independent
electors. but all these plans
are likely to be of little avail
for practical reasons. The
Republican candidates for
President and Vice President
are on the ballot and are well
known. Many Southerners,
feeling that this year both
party platforms and the ut
terances Of the candidates
are about the same on the
civil rights issue, will turn to
other issues.
Perhaps one Of the most
important Of all is the right
to-work issue. Senator Byrd,
Democrat of Virginia, for in
stance, said In a speech be-
fore the American Bar Asso-
citation this week:
II regard the right to work
as I do the right to life. lib1
erty and the pursuit of hap
piness. States have the right,
the responsibility. and the
duty to protect this funda-
mental freedom. This is my
position, and I shall fight for
it.
I'VE have learned that the
more government is central
lied in Federal bureaucracy
at Washington, the more it is
susceptible to the arrogant
influence of labor leaders"
The pledges in the Dem
ocratic Party platform to get
rid Of right-to-work laws and
the Endorsement of Senator
Kennedy. Democratic NOM
inee. by the AFL-CIO which
is fighting for the repeal of
those laws may cost him more
electoral votes in the South
than he can gain on this is
sue in the West and North as
an Offset. In other words,
economic issues conserva-
tism versus radicalism, and
decentralization versus GEN.
traliZation-are tending more
and more to swing the elec-
toral votes Of the South away
from their traditional sup
port of the Democratic Party
in past national elections.

This reporter has been IA
vored with a visit by three
Europeans travelling across
the United States, not as
guests of the State Depart
ment. but to sniff around and
try to gauge the political at
mosphere for their respective
concerns.
They came from Paris,
Rome and Frankfurt. They
had fought in the last war;
had seen the devastations
wrought by the gigantic
struggle; had cosmopolitan
outlook and at the same
time were strongly national
istic.
Washington was their last
stop before emplaning for
their home countries. l was
interested in their obServa-
tions which I consider worth
reporting. The question of
who will be the next Presi-
dent Of the United States
seemed to interest them only
vaguely since. they contend.
there is really little funda-
mental difference between
the two candidates on for
eign policies of the United
States.
What concerne them
most was what they de-
scribed as "the inability of
so many American leaders to
think out your cumbersome
problems clearly"
You are still the most
powerful and gifted. nation
in the world" one of them
continued. yet you go into
a tailspin when confronted
with the bluff of Comrade
Khrushchev and his hench-
men. The free world is 60
ing now on the path of ma
tionalism and illuminated
conservatism. You alone.
judging by the actions of
your leaders of both parties,
are veering toward a degree
of socialism which has been
abandoned now by the resur-
rected western European
countries and lean danger
ouSly toward International
ism, which has become obSo-
lete everywhere, including in
the Communist realms.
You are losing to the Rus
slams by default in which,
ever corner of the world you
meet face to face. 1t seems
you have an inane fear of
that colossus on clay feet.
The propaganda of the mill
tary prowess of the Russians
has affected you to such a
point that you have over

tentially so liberal that one
Democrat insists that Harry
Hopkins in his New Deal
prime would never have
dared send 1t to the Senate.
The point, however. is that
Hopkins would not have
accepted the present measure
in principle because it is a
States rights approach, and
it was with this bait that the
South was held in line.
The Kennedy bill tied
medical care to the Social
Security system, provided no
benefits to anyone until age
68 and then only limited
benefits. 1t was accompanied
by an increase in taxation to
pay the bill.
Unquestionably, however.
1t was the camel's nose in
the tent. Once the issue is
embedded in the Social Sc
curity system it can hardly
be gotten out. The conser-
vative approach flies the
States rights banner; is at
tractive to the American
Medical Association since it
provided that payment must
be made directly to the ven-
dor Of the medical services
involved. and it attracts
businessmen who naturally
do not like an increase in
payroll taxation.
Then there is the posi-
bility that it can be ham
strung in the States. where
the ANA and businessmen
find it easier going than in
Washington.

DORIS FLEESON
Aged Care Bill Believed Likely to Fall
In States Where Foes Are Strongest

The new bill on medical
care for the aged is an elec-
tion year souffle whipped up
for the enticement of the
voters next November. 1t is
widely believed that the dish,
deleetable as it now may ap-
pear. will fall when it is &C
tually set before the State
Legislatures, as it must be
before the citizens can get a
single bite.
This is because its enact
ment for all practical pur-
poses rests with the States.
1t is the States which must
provide matching funds, set
up administration plans and
spell out the means test. This
last would be a delicate prob
lem even If the rest of the
bill were an actuarial para
disc. which emphatically it
Is not.
1t is an old story that spe-
cial sessions Of Congress are
conceived in partisan politics
and bear legislative fruit that
only rarely stands the test Of
time. Nobody here will be
surprised If Congress gets
back this issue in regular
session very soon after the
State Legislatures get a
whack at it.
Here as elsewhere, the
Democratic leadership has
been completely out-foxed
by the conservative coalition

: This is a piece based on
that old story about what
can happen to the best laid
plans Of mice and men. All
Of a sudden we realize Sen
ator Kennedy is in trouble,
and he is no mouse.
At the time Senator Lyn-
don Johnson managed to re-
cess the Congress for the pc
riod Of the two conventions,
with a short session to fol-
low. Republicans gave forth
with great squalls of piously
angry protest.
1t was, they said, a politi-
cal trick designed to dis
credit the COP. by a Dem
ocratic controlled Congress.
The more emotional went
into tribal war dances and
denounced what they de-
scribed as unprincipled po-
itical perfidy.
The Democrats wore the
smile attributed by legend to
cats that have swallowed
canaries. They thought it
just might be as beneficial
as the COP. feared.
The conventions came and
went. The Congress resumed.
And, within days, Senator
Kennedy had been defeated
in his attempts to push
through major legislation on
medical aid for the Nations
elderly and also on minimum
wages. The Senate, insofar as
the Kennedy campaign is
concerned, was a shambles.
There is a perfectly valid
reason why he was defeated.
The Southern Democrats
refused to support him. Even
the liberal Republicans, with
complete cyniciSm, stood
aside and gleefully left him
naked to the hostile winds of
criticism. 1t was as neat a bit
of political brutality as any
campaign has seen.
And the Republicans, so
righteously angry but a few
brief weeks ago, are now
