FOUR ROSEBURS NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURS, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1947 Smear Campaign May Prevent O.K. For Lilienthal By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, D. C, Ten nessee Sen. Kenneth MeKcllar's smear campaign against con firmation of David E. Lilienthal as chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission seems to be taking hold. Following the Hitlerlan propa ganda technique that if you stretch the facts often enough and far enough, the people will believe you, McKellar has suc ceeded in planting suspicion in the minds of his senatorial col-' leagues. Three arguments and a whispering campaign have been launched against Lilienthal. First that he has communistic leanings. Second that he is opposed to private enterprise. Third that he is the last of the New Dealers and should there fore be liquidated by the Repub lican majority of the Senate. The whispering campaign Is that Lilienthal is of Jewish blood. He is. But what of It? Or Is this the Nazi Germany of 1937? To get this whole story out In the open and end the vicious gos sip in this country that has Junt fought a war for "Freedom of Worship," Llllcnthal's parents were Czech Jews. Lilienthal him self wns born In Illinois. He went to DePauw University in Green castle, Ind., a Methodist Institu tion. He married a girl brought up in the Methodist faith. In Knoxville, their children attend ed an 1 n t e r- denominational church and Sunday school. McKellar's charges of com munism in TVA are based on the thinnest of evidence. At the height of the Dies Committee activity in 1940, Dave Lilienthal as TVA chairman asked the FBI to come In and screen all of TVA's 6000 employes. Ten out of he 6000 were brought up for examination. Of the 10, three were found to be Communists. They were all in minor jobs. They were discharged. Another Claim Blasted Then the claim that Lilienthal was opposed to private enterprise was dreamed up. It is easy to say but impossible to prove that this campaign is sponsored by the power lohyists. It Is also easy to say but impossible to prove that the Army brass has con tributed 'to this, hoping to get a general in the chairmanship. If the charge that Lilienthal Is anil-free rntcrpriso is based on the fact that during his chair manship TVA bought out certain private electric power companies that competed In the Tennessee, Valley, it must be admitted. But TVA also stimulated private on' terprise In the valley. It brought In new industries. And some of the biggest corporations In the country have ocratod cheek by Jowl with TVA. They gi-t along line. Aluminum Company of America, for instance. Also, in the $500-million-a-year operation of the Atomic Energy Commission, the major oieratlng contracts have been given to big business. General Electric 0er atcs Hanfotd, Wash. Monsanto Chemical operates Clinton lab oratories. Tennessee Eastman and National Carbon and Carbide operate Oak Kitlue. If there is anything to be I alarmed at In this situation, Isn't ' It that there Is now too much I concentration nf . ntnmte know. how In the hands of these big businesses? Publio Welfare at Stake The Republican angle that Lilienthal is the last of the New Dealers is dirty politics, but it makes sense to a political boss. The effects of this hatchet-work are far more serious than merely deciding whether Lilienthal geU a Job. If the Senate rejects him, he can probably get twice as much as the government's $15,000 a year. Big business would snap him up. But who would want to succeed him? No right-minded man would want to submit to personal abuse such as Lilienthal has received. Things like this are what makes it so hard for government to get good men. The whole cause of efficient public service loses if Lilienthal is licked. Greece Seen as Key to Political Future of Europe By DeWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst One of the most far-reaching and delicate International Issues of the postwar period has been raised by Britain's unprecedent ed proposal that a big part of her obligations In Greece be as sumed by the United States, and the U. S. State Department's reply wnicn is reported 10 ne "favorable In principle" con tingent on congressional approval and British agreement to main tain troops there. That John Bull should find himself unable to meet his obli gations to his little Balkan pro tege Is easily understandable. He Is in the midst fo a life-and death economic crisis which renders him Incapable of providing the money necessary said to be some J25O,00O,00O for the current. year. What some folk may not j find quite so clear Is why Britain (and the U. S. A.) should feel it necssary to maintain Greece in this relationship. The answer Is that Greece is the keystone or Britain's all-Important zone of influence in the Eastern Mediterranean. Greece Is England's last t'"-h'iM on ne Bal kan Peninsula. thn:il-' i':? British he compelled to wi: h-! p there's small doubt that G!'.. already hard pressed by C ir-iunistic neighbors, would !" wed by the Red tide. Athens would take orders from Moscow. Turkey Would Be Next The result of such a develop ment mlgh easily render Tur keynow a friend of the West ern Allies vulnerable to Soviet pressure so that Russia would at long last gain her heart's desire of controlling the Ps.'danelles strait strategically one of the most Important water thorough fares In the world. And there you have the foundations lor the col lapse of England's control in the Middle East and her lifeline to the Far East. But this is not the whole story. Were Britain knocked out in the E;tvtern MeHitrrrnnertrt the rivke I which has been acting as a deter rent to the sweep of the Red tide across Western Europe would have been breached. Italy might be the next country to come with in the Soviet zone, providing a mighty lever for communization rinht through to the English channel. Two Problems Faced But, asks someone, why should we of the Western hemisphere w firry about what happens to Britain's sphere of influence In Europe, or what the political de velopments are? Well, two world wars have convinced military ex pelts that America's frontline defenses lie In Europe, and that beine" the ease we mot eertainlv are vitally interested in the politico-military set up there. The present position poses two problems for America and Brit ain In particular and for the Western democracies in general: (1) . Is It wise from the stand point of world peace for any one great power to control all of continental Europe? (2) . Do the Western Democra cies Intend to combat the en croachment of Communism on their territories or do they just intend to let nature take its course? As for the first question, it would take a Hitlerian mentality to see any good In European dom ination hv fine nation. Should such a situation be created, it would be a seven-league stride toward world control by the na tion concerned. The answer to the second query has been given many times in the capitals of the Democracies. Totalitarian Communism and Western Democracy are so dia metrically opposed that the two cannot exist in the same country. One of them must die. So the Western Democracies have turned thumbs down on Commuistism as a doctrine for their own coun tries. Its aceptance would mean their downfall.
