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.
