the USSR."
Senator John Sherma an
Cooper Of Kentucky, Repub-
hcan. also cited the legisla-
tive acts b Fearing on trade
with the Soviet Union and
asserted that 1T is certainly
the d e clared policy Of the
Congress that subsidized agri-
cultural commodities-such
as the wheat In question
shall not be sold, or made
available. In any way, to the
Soviet Union" He sale that
% efore the administration
embarks on q new course"
he believes it should under
take a review of our entire
trade policy and that Of our
allies with the Soviet Union,
and present its conclusions to
the appropriate committees
Of the Congress"
History certainly repeats
itSelf-for 1t was the refusal
Of certain Of the free coun-
tries to stop their trade with
Hitler or to join the embargo
on oil to MuSsolini's Italy
which helped the Fascists to
arm against the Free World
in the 1930's.
The American people
would gladly trade with and
help to feed the peoples Of
countries behind the Iron
Curtain If there were a def
mite end to the infiltrations,
the aggreSsions and the sub
versive activities in the West
which are being financed
and directed by the Russians.
1t was st. Paul who wrote:
Therefore II thine enemy
hunger, feed him; II he
thirst, give him drink: for in
so doing thou sh alt heap
Goals Of fire on his head"
The American people,
however, like to feed the enc
my after q war Is over. They
did so In 1919 and again in
1915. Herbert Hoover's great
work on relief in Central Eu-
rope is an unforgettable ex-
ample Of the magnanimity Of
the American people toward
an enemy which had caused
grave losses to this country
and its allies. A free flow Of
food and machinery to Com
munist nations could readily
be developed but only when
the cold war" has been def
nitely ended by the govern
ment in Moscow and mutual
trust has been established.

II the leadership argu-

How this will affect the

Much will depend on the cold

sure they will be willing to

would not only be fatiguing

The Republicans in Phila-
delphia are surprised to find
themselves, after II years
out Of power, within striking
distance Of a Democratic city
regime that had seemed until
recently to be invincible.
The capture and reform Of
PhilaGelphia's City Hall by
the Democrats was the most
dramatic sequence In the
past decade in m unicipal
government. The Republi-
cans held power for SO years
before they were driven out
in 1851 by Joseph Clark and
Richardson Dilworth and
they have tended to despair
of their chances for an i'm
minent return.
But two factors-the Negro
agitation and the lacklustre
quality Of the ncum b emit
Dem o crat-have brought
them into contention in the
mayoralty contest this fall.
The closeness of the race was
tipped. in early September,
by a poll by E. John Bucci, a
Philadelphia who once
polled for the Democrats and
now works for the Repubh-
cans. Bucci found the electo-
rate divided IS per cent for
the Democrats. A per cent
for the Republicans, and IL
per cent in a state of deep
tndecision.
James T. McDermott, the
Republican Candidate, leaked
the poll, which was a mistake
because the leader of the city
Democrats. Representative
William Green, takes Bucci's
fin dings seriously and
promptly moved to intensity
the campaign. Green is now
seeking to involve President
Kennedy, who carrie d the
city by a margin Of 331 900
votes in 1860, as deeply as
possible in the fate Of Mayor
H. ]. Tate.

Democrats in Philadelphia Viewed
As Hurt by Incumbent, Negro Action

The Negro agitation is the
key to the election because it
has b ecome an unexpected
source Of antipathy to Mayor
Tate. who has handled the
racial problem uncertainty
from the start and Is now
censured by a wide range Of
the white population for a
lack Of firmness in his deal
ings with the Negro leaders.
The Negro population here
Is large and provides about
one-fifth Of the registered
voters. Tate is judged to have
been first too tough and later
too easy on the dem o. n
strators. His maladroitness
was exploited by the hostile
tactics Of the NAACP leader,
Cecil Moore. who is both mil
liant and Republican.
Resentment against Tate's
handling Of the Negroes ex-
tends to the ranks of the i'm
portant Jewish minority,
norm ally Democratic but
wavering now for this and
other reasons. Both sides are
grimly aware that the out
come of the election may
hang upon the course Of the
racial conflict between now
and election day.
Some Of the city's more
idealistic reformers fin d it
difficult to choose between
the two candidates. Certainly
the Republicans, If they had
foreseen a close election,
would have fielded a more
imposing figure than McDer-
mott, a young, aggressive
lawyer who has the assu-
rance of being self-made and
the political assets Of a foot
ball line coach. He has dis
mayed many who would like
to back him by the great
gaps In his knowledge of city
affairs.
This knowledge Is the forte
Of Mayor Tate, who has been

a machine politician all Of
his life and came to the
mayors office from the pres
idency Of the City Council
In early 1852 when Dilworth
resigned to run for Governor.
Tate knows how the city OPP
crates. but the price Of this
knowledge is the look. man
ner and articulation of q
ward leader.
1t is difficult for such a
man TO follow the act Of Dill
worth and Clark, well-spoken
aristocrats who rode with the
machine while resisting its
Entertainments. Tate has
plainly tried to retain the
people and programs that
Dilworth left behind but he
inevitably lands closer to
Green and the organization
than to the reformers. This
cloSeneSs is not helpful
since the organization is wide
ly suspected Of having been
excessively ruthless in con-
verting power into political
slush funds.
The Republicans are trying
to make Green the issue, and
Green is trying to make
President Kennedy the issue
by asserting that a vote
against Tate in 1858 will
work against Mr.. Kennedy in
1864. The President may lend
himself to this strategy by
coming here for a 500 din
ner on October 80. -

You keep readin g about
these newly emerging ma
tons" in Africa and places
like that. Personally, I'm all
for them. But every time I
hear of another new nation
bravely emerging, this same
nagging question runs
through my mind:
"Why?"
Maybe I wouldn't feel this
way if I hadn't read "A Re-
cent History Of the Republic
of Mbonga and How It
Emerged" Which I just
wrote. 1t follows.
For centuries, the Secret
Valley Of Mbonga lay hidden
from the outside world. Its
natives tended their flocks,
titled their vineyards and
greeted each other daily with
a gay smile and the single
word, IN bonga." Whic h
means, Mind your own bust
ness"
Its discovery by a team Of
drunken spelunkers caused a
worldwide sensation. Forty
two min u t es later a long
string of ambassadors from
the leading powers crawled
through the tunnel into the
valley to present their
credentials.
Take US to your chief"
said the ambassadors to an
elderly Mbongan who hap
pened to be passing by.
Chief" said the startled
Mbongan.
"You know, the head of
your government"

In wartime there usually is
q trading with-the-enemy
law. It forbids trade with
enemies Of this country.
Today, there is q war on
between the United States
and the Soviet Union. But,
because it's called a colo
war" instead Of a hot war"
there are no laws at present
which spell out exactly what
trade can or cannot be car
ried on with the Communist
countries. It is handled
largely by the Executive
Branch Of the Government
under discretionary powers.
The issue has arisen spe-
officially in connection with
the possibility that 100 to 200
million tons of wheat In the
United States may be sold to
the Soviet Union. In Con-
gress.. there Is opposition to
the idea, for, while a "cold
war" doesn't involve battles
between armies Of this coun-
try and Russia, the fact is
that American soldiers have
lost their lives in fighting the
guerrillaS sent into South
Wet Nam by the Commu-
nistS. Likewise, large num-
bers Of Am erican troops
stand guard In Korea and in
Berlin against Communist
armies. Not many m onths
ago, q missile base was estab-
lished In Cuba. and around
$4,000 Russian troops still
remain on the island.
Nobody would object to
selling food or almost any
thing else to the Soviet
Union If there were no cold
war" going on today. The
American people would be
glad to develop friendlier
relations with the Soviet
people. But should trade re-
strictions be removed without
bringing the cold war" to an
end?
Senator Karl Mundt Of
South Dakota, Republican, In
9 speech to the Senate q few
days ago, pointed out that 1t
is not Just the sale Of wheat
that Is involved. For II wheat
Is sold, then sale Of other
products. not necessarily
agricultural, win be pressed.

Kennedy to call q conference

The South Dakota Senator
pointed to some Of the reali-
ties Of the trade controversy
as he recalled that recently
the national legislature Of
W. est Germ any voted
against the export Of oil pipe
to Communist Russia" and
he added:
BE it said to their credit,
they faced the facts Of the
cold war. Unhappily, our
British cousins, who sensed a
chance to make q quick
buck in this sort Of trade,
then picked up the contract
the Germans rejected, and
shipped the oil pipe to the
Communists"
