1t seems a gratuitous and
unforgiveable breach of taste
to have permitted Alger Hiss
to dance on the political
grave of Richard Nixon, the
man who did more than any
other to expose him. In the
context of his appearance on
such a show there was the
evident desire to permit Hiss
to be "in at the death" and
to crow and gloat over
Nixon'S defeat.
In making the choice Of
Hiss, of all people, to appear
on the show, Howard K.
Smith effectively spat in the
faces of millions of people
who supported Nixon for
President and in the faces
OF millions Of other good
Americans who believe that
Hiss was Justly convicted.
I can guess that there was
another purpose behind this
obscene performance = apart
from the avid desire for SEN
sationalism. That purpose, I
think, was the effort to re-
habilitate Hiss by giving him
a platform for his self-serv-
ing declarations.
If so, it goes a long way
to support a thesis many have
held since the time of tn e
Hiss case-that the real rea-
son why so many Liberals
bear hatred for Richard
Nixon is that he did expose
Hiss, the Beau Ideal of the
young New Dealer and Liberal
until his downfall.
They cannot bear tn e
thought of Hiss guilt, for
complex reasons, and they
can never forgive Nixon for
his part in bringing Hiss low
and showing, at the same
time, that liberalism can be
tainted with totalitarianism,
even in high places.

THE POLITICAL MILL
A Greot-ond Honest-Politicion
By GOULD LINCOLN

"There will always be a
Democratic Party and there
will always be a Republican
Party, and frankly I think
the best interests of the
country are served by two
great parties" This is the
unqualified prediction of a
great and skillful politician
one who has given the lie
by his own career to the Oft
repeated statement that "all
politicians are dishonest"
and by one who has rendered
great public service-James
. A. Chg Jim) Farley Of New
York, chairman of the DEM
ocratic National Committee
and Postmaster General dur
ing the first two terms Of
the late President Franklin
D. Roosevelt. His prediction
was made during the Ma
tional Broadcasting Com
pany's television program,
meet the Press" last Sum-
day. Mr.. Farley had been
asked whether he saw any
time In the future when we
might have a Liberal Party"
as opposed to a "Conserva-
tive Party" in this country.
Mr.. Farley's whole life expe-
rience - he was born a DEM
ocrat and began his work in
Democratic politics So years
ago - has been an 'exempli-
fication of his statement. He
has been called a liberal,
particularly . when he was
playing an important part in
the Roosevelt New Deal, and
he has been called q con-
servative. But he has always
been a Democrat, loyal to
the Democratic Party. He
never has scratched a Dem
ocratic ticket. When he broke
with President Roosevelt over
the third term issue" in 1910
and opposed the Presidents
denomination, he still de-
clared his support of Roose-
velt in the election campaign
that followed and voted for
him. Just as he has sup
ported every Democratic
nominee for President a n d
for State office in New York.
A APractical Reply
The question put to Mr..
Farley during the meet the
Press" program was actuated
by the strong divergence Of
the Southern conservatives
and the Northern liberals in
the Democratic Party of to-
day, and a similar divergence
in the Republican Party over
the Rockefeller Republicans
and the Goldwater Republi-
cans. He was asked specifical-
ly: do you think that the
liberal Democrats and t h e
Southern conservative Demo-
Gratis belong in the am e
Democratic Party?"
Mr.. Farley, ever practical,
replied: well, it is not that
they belong there is
nothing that you and 1 can
do about it." And when he
was pressed still further to
say whether the Southern
Conservatives and the North
ern Liberals in the Democratic
Party "have much in COM
mon," he answered: "They
have much in common in a
different direction" which
sounds enigmatic. but after
all is very practical. Up to
now both wings of the party
have desired victory at the
polls, and they have had it.

Mr.. Farley once told this
writer that the Democrats
will continue to win as long
as they hold the labor vote
and the Negro vote" At that
time, the Solid South was
taken for granted-as it still
is, particularly in congress
sional elections, if not presi-
Dental.
Predicts Kennedy Reelection
Mr.. Farley still sticks to
this political estimate Of
Democratic strength. In his
interview he made a number
of predictions for the future.
Principal among them was q
forecast that President Ken
nedy will be reelected in
1864; that Gov. Rockefeller
of New York will be Mr..
Kennedy's opponent, and
that in another two years
much of the Kennedy pro-
gram will be enacted into
law. Mr.. Farley, ever frank,
admitted that the BAY of
Pigs" invasion of Cuba in
April, 1861, had been a fias-
CO. But he insisted President
Kennedy's recent strong
stand against the Commu-
mist military buildup in Cuba
would be maintained.
AS a forecaster of election
results he does not have to
yield to any professional
pollster. His most famous
prediction was on the out
come of the 1886 presidential
election. He said President
Roosevelt would carry all the
States except two and he did
all except Maine and Ver-
mont.
Because Of his break with
FDR over a third-term nom
ination, Mr.. Farley has never
been the choice of New York
State Democratic Conven-
tions for Governor or Sena-
tor. 1t was then the con-
servative label was pasted on
him by New Dealers and by
members of the Liberal Par
ty. Mr.. Farley, however, then
chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, retained
great political power, so great
that he defeated FDR on his
own ground. In the 1912
Democratic State Convention
he succeeded in nominating
his candidate for Governor,
although Mr.. ROOSEVELT
backed the late Senator
James M. Mead. Mr.. Farley
commanded deep devotion
and loyalty among the party
leaders. His word was as good
as his bond, and he always
kept his promises to the
leaders and to the rank and
file. He re m ain e d State
chairman until 1914.
Mr.. Farley made it clear
in his interview that he be-
lieyes strongly in party or
ganization. Today he remains
one of the best loved and re-
spected politicians in tn e
country, although he has
held no office since he gave
up the State Craftsmanship.
The one thing which cut
him to the quick was PreSi-
dent Roosevelt's failure to
use him in any way in the
great war effort this coun-
try made from 1941 to 1945.
With his organizing ability
and experience his services
could have been of great
value.

Political Obituary of Richard Nixon
Sue Clegg.

How could The Star per-
nit a man tried by a jury
of his peers in a court of
law and found guilty of a
dreadful offense to publicly
criticize a man who held the
next to the highest elective
office in this Nation, or for
that matter any honest citi-
zen?
Lena Hitchcock.
Many television viewers re-
gard the intellectual Mr..
Smiths program as refresh
ing because it is obvious that
he has done much research
and thinking before making
statements on vital issues. 1t
is apparent that he does not
seek to present only one side
of an issue but seeks, in all
fairness, to present both ex-
tremes on any given subject.
In these days when the vora-
cious giant of TV forces major
networks and independent sta
tions to cram us with the junk
of adult cartoons" the ever
popular and nauseous "situa-
ton comedy" and other trite
material. it is refreshing to
see thought-provoking and
analytical programs such as
Mr.. Smiths.
AS a former Nixon suppor-
ter I do not understand why
a thinking viewer would OBJ
ject to any statement made
by someone who might
not like Mr.. Nixon. Even
though Mr.. Hiss had been
convicted, he is entitled to
his opinion. The sum and
substance of all the state
ments and opinions gave
a good account of Nixon's
good points and bad points. No
one should object to closely
examining both sides and it
would seem highly irregular
for a station to cancel any
thing as purely objective as
this program.
My hat is off to Howard
K. Smith in that he presents
a program that has never
failed to make me think for a
few hours or a few days aft

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Extrosensory Perception Studied

experiment. consisted Of a
special purpose machine,
called the Veritac, designed
by Mr.. Dagle. The Veritac
has the capability Of gener-
ating random numbers from
0 through 9 and automatic
ally recording the responses
and reaction time intervals of
the subjects. BY conducting
all tests with this machine,
the subtle bias or manner
isms of test administrators
or scorers that might give
clues to the subject were
eliminated.
Two Types Of Tests
1t permitted two kinds Of
tests to be made. The sub
ject could attempt to predict
the number which would be
generated. He could attempt
to, by clairvoyance or telep-
athy, to determine which
number has already been
generated and displayed in
another room.
Preliminary analysis Of the
test results shows no signifi-
cant deviation, from pure
chance. Nobody showed any
unusual ability either to pre-
dict events or to determine,
clairvoyantly or telepathic-
ally, that a particular event
had taken place. That was
about what the experimenters
expected.
1t is felt, however, that
data obtained during this
experiment will uncover some
interesting information on
decision making as a func-
ton of personality makeup.
The attempt to. guess or pre-
dict numbers, under the con-
ditions of this experiment, is
essentially a decision making
process. 1t is hypothesized
that, depending on person.
ality, time between responses
and the pattern of responses
will be found to vary con-
Siderably.

COOKBOOK SELLS LIKE HOT CAKES
Demand but No Supply

Of two suburban women's
masterpiece.
The problem Of the empty
shelves In the bookstores
was solved In such q forth
right manner that the women
became heroines to union
busters: Suki and Liz tore up
their Christmas Lists, donned
blue Jeans and became the
first volunteer coolies on the
printing i, plants assembly
line. This labor Of love lasted
% hours.
That took care Of the sea-
son Of good cheer. In jan

was still complaining. Bin, q

For some reason the Tou-
pin household became the
prime target for the book

ual consultations came with
the price Of the book. Be-
cause Liz spent her eve
nings making deliveries to
the bookstores, the answer
man for the telephone in
qt1iries was her husband.
Richard. . research scientist
at the Naval Research Lab.
After o month, Richard in
sisted cooking was more Of
an art than o science and
would speak no more on the
telephone to women who
could not understand the
metric system.
There were other less ex-
pected and more public
strains on the authors home
life. One day Liz appeared ct
the local bank and told q
clerk she wished to open an
account for the Joint enter
prise.
The clerk gulped. Redeemed

out his hand and pushed her
toward the bank president.
Just before the vice squad
was called, Liz realized that

crime shows, her Oriental
features and the book title

or worse.

quieted down. In fact, Lis
