STANTON Intensity of public reaction to the return of General MacArthur hag led to much speculation. Some of our leading politicians are climbing; on the MacArthur bandwagon, professing to see deep political im plications in the fervor of the public reception. Critics of the administration, such as our own colum nist, Fulton Lewis Jr., have gone overboard in using the MacArthur incident as a claimed indication of deteriora tion in the administration's political strength. . Other observers say that the reception accorded Mac Arthur evidences lack of public confidence in leadership ! and that the intensity, so much greater than anyone had ; anticipated, denotes public hunger for a great leader. Still others feel that the administration's wishy-washy i policies, fraidy-cat tendencies and appeasement trends are . foreign to American principals and that the welcome given ; MacArthur Is acclaim for a man with the courage of his ; convictions. t . - Psychology Involved ! ' A measure of truth doubtless exists in each of these interpretations. We believe, however, that to base conclu sions on any one, or even all, would be erroneous. 1 ' We believe the secret of the demonstration is to be found in the same psychology that motivates a crowd at a wrestling match or baseball game. We are witnessing on a national scale a huge blowoff of nervous tension hav ing far less political implication than might be believed. Why do normally quiet, congenial and friendly people go to a wrestling match and yell themselves hoarse while demanding that the "cleanie" murder the "meanie?" Every spectator at a wrestling match knows that much of the exhibition is pure corn. He is not fooled by all the groaning, grunting and grimacing. But, nevertheless, he whoops and shouts and pleads. The yelling is most intense while the vaudeville show is in progress. When the wrest lers really get down to business, working for a fall, the outcry dies down. The wrestling fan ia expending an accumulated nerv .ous tension. He is freeing emotions which might otherwise be expressed in sassing his mother-in-law, beating his wife, and slapping the children. Recause of the emotional re lease he finds at the wrestling match, he is able to go through the nervous strain of the business week without a breakdown. . Lone Nerve Strain , . c - We have been under a long nerve strain in this coun try. We have had a great depression, a hot war, a con tinuing cold war and a threat of another hot war. During all these many years we have had no real opportunity to blow off steamto release pent-up emotions. Then comes an opportunity to welcome a returning hen) a man who has dramatized a political situation so we start whooping it up. 1 Why does a baseball crowd alwavs join on the side of the batter protesting a called third strike? Try comparing that situation with the astonishing in. tensity of the MacArthur welcome. It has interesting con notations. . t. '.V I""1 "om "''"'"g national and international rhubarbs In the past few years, but this is the first time the crowd has had a chance to join in with booing and applauding. We wouldn't put too much reliance in a theorv of deep political motives behind the stirring happenings of the Mac Arthur welcome. Political reactions doubtless will follow congressional hearings, but we doubt if the intensity of the MacArthur reception has as much political implication as many people seem to believe. ..fetl By Vuihnttt S.

Samish and one of his clients, the Cali fornia State Brewers institute. Th committe described Samish in its third interim report as "an almost unbelieveable character" who can "safely b called 'Mr Big' in California." Samish, who described himself as a public relations counsel or a policy consultant, acts at a "vir tual dictator" over disbursements of money paid by brewers to the institute on a "per barrel" as sessment, the committe said. 4 Samish admitted, th commit tee said, making substantial con- i tributiont to political campaigns I to see that "honest, outstanding officials that subscribe to th tern i perat us of beer, wine,, spirita and other things ar returned to office." . I The cdmmitte said brewer I members of the institute, contrib utinf nine cent barrel, paid I nearly t2.uoo.ouo to tne institute i during the past six years, with j SttVWJ going to th Samiah-con- trolled fund Deductions At Issu .

Th committe taid it had rec ommended to the attorney general and the internal revenue commis sioner that th practices of Samish the insiutute, and th brewer mem bers be examined with a view to: 1.- Disallowing the deductions, claimed by the brewers aa "oper ating expenses." The committee said this money, totaling nearly fc'.OOO.OUO in the past six vears, "has obviously been expended prin cipally by Arthur 'I. Samish tor purposes almost entirely unex plained." I.

This turn should be con I sidered income to nun and taxaoie accordingly, unless he is able to show that the money was expended for properly deductible purposes." Notine that neither Samih nor the institute kept adequate rec- orda, the commitiee said tnat from the record of ita inquiry "it could he said that the money went into Samish't own pocket and atopped there." hired the tletectiv were hart. The minister, the Rev. Fred W.

In that event, do you reckon we'd DARE to launch an all-out war against communism in Asia in cluding both China and Asiatic Russia? Personally, I doubt it. What does all that mean in terms of the present controversy? General MacArthur, you will re member, has said we should follow a more peremptory policy in our dealings with the red Chinese. We should bomb their supply depots in Manchuria. W should blockade their coasts. We should reconnoitre their territory, to we'll know what tiiey are cooKing up against us. If we're going to fii'.ht red China, he says, we should fight to win. Naturall, adoption of such a pol icy would amount to giving tne dare to Russia. In effect, it would be saying to Moscow: "What are you going (o do about It? "It would be accepting a calculated nsl; l;inl Russia will come into the Asiatic war with bolh fists swinging. General MacArthur lays h thinks Russia wou'dn't cu.nc in BECAUSE she hasn't transport fa cilities enough between European Russia and Asiatic Russia to enable her so fight an all-out war in Asia.
