G.O.P. VICTORY IN CALIFORNIA
Well! Just as the Democrat were about to claim the
Republican corpse for Interment in the potter's field,
the chap gets up and walks away under his own power,
The California election miracle we laid had scarcely
any chance to happen did. Glenard P. Lipscomb, Repub
lican, was named to the seat In congress vacated by Ore
gon born Norris Poulson when Poulson was elected mayor
of Los Angeles over George Arnold, Democrat.
Basis of pre-election Democratic confidence and Re
publican pessimism was two-fold: (1) The Republicans
had two candidates who at the beginning of the campaign
had nearly equal strength, while the Democrats were
nearly all behind one candidate. (2) The Wisconsin-New
Jersey trend was supposed to swing a district anyone
would have said was much more likely to swing than
either the Wisconsin or New Jersey districts.
The Republicans overcame the first handicap by cast
ing better than 90 per cent vote for the organization
endorsed candidate. Had their vote been split as it look
ed like it would be the Democrat would have won easily
as he got more than 95 per cent of his party's vote.
Unlike Wisconsin and New Jersey Republican senti
ment appears to have been "riding high." True, It was
a Republican district, but unlike the other two it had
gone Democratic once in recent years.
A significant angle was that while the Wisconsin and
New Jersey contests were complicated by personality,
' religious and local scandal issues, the California contest
, appears to have been fought out on national issues solely.
Did the voter want to support or oppose the Eisenhower
administration?
As i result of this success Republican chins are un off
their chests again and Democrats aren't quite so sure of
recapturing congress in '54.
BIG THREE TOP LEVEL MEETING
President Eisenhower, who has consistently discour
aged a "Big Four" meeting of the western powers with
Moscow until there was some reason to believe Moscow
was willing to be a quarter way fair, now indicates his
willingness to hold a "Big Three" conference with
Churchill and French Premier Laniel to plan western
strategy.
A recent further hardening in the Russian attitude has
proved that Eisenhower and Dulles were right and
Churchill wrong on Churchill's agitation for a meeting
with Malenkov. It is now clear to all with eyes to see
that such a meeting would accomplish nothing unless the
west were willing to surrender, which it isn't. Churchill
ought to see this himself now, assuming he didn't before.
There is something for America, Britain and France to
talk about For one thing, the first two should make
clear to France that time is fast running out on French
stalling on the European army issue. This was originally
proposed by France, which is now the chief stumbling
. The French oppose a German army, won't arm them
selves on an adequate scale. They want the U.S. to pro-
ie mem, wnicn we nave Deen aoing, wun both financial
aid and troops. There is no occasion for us to do this in
definitely. We can now get a German army which will
take over the chief burden if necessary. A strong Ger
many confronting a weak France makes Frenchmen
quivver, but they have the remedy if they will use it,
which is to acquire comparable strength of their own.
A plain speaking talk by the head men of the U.S.,
Britain and France could accomplish much. And the
abortive proposal for a new "mission- to Moscow" had
best be forgotten till there is at least a hi nt anmpthincr
could be accomplished by it.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Let's Look at Our Goal of

By DREW PEARSON
Washington Today, being
Armistice day when we pause
all too briefly in our modern
mad rush to remember our
heroed dead, let's take a brief
look at that all - important
though sometimes forgotten
goal of peace.
In that connection, U. S. Am
baisador Chip Bohlen, consid
ered one of the most astute ob
servers in Russia, has been
sending some highly significant
reports to Washington. If true.
mcy are more important than
what's doing on the farm front,
the business front, or the po
litical front here at home.
It is Bohlen's view that Pre
mier Malenkov has not yet
stabilized his position inside
Russia, that he's worried over
unrest among the Russian peo
ple, and that another Durce is

The one move made by the

The state department con

Chancellor Adenauer was ask

Still a Novice
By BAYMOND MOLET
Whoever among the friends
and advisers of the President
approve and compliments him
on what be said in his press
conference on the day after the
elections will be doing him a
tragic disservice. For U the
state of mind that is revealed
there is to be projected Into the
next year, the results a year
from now will indeed be catas
trophic lor him and bis Party.
It it well for him to claim a
limited ignorance of local sit
uations. No human beinc could
learn all the local problems
that affect elections and at the
same time carry the burden of
the Presidency. But there were
big situations that affected the
results in New York and New
Jersey, and the head of his Par
ty cannot afford to ignore them.
What has been happening there
has been the exposure,' first by
tna Keiauver Committee and
later by the New York State
Crime commission, of the exist,
ence of a black cloud of labor
racketeering and corrupt con
nections between crime and
politics. The center of this Is
the port of New York, and it
has spread to the west into
New Jersey, north into West
chester, and beyond and east
into Long Island. It involves
various businesses where lav
ish money it involved, such as
snipping, race tracks, building,
etc.
Tammany, as always, it in
the picture, but years and years
of such associations have made
that an old story. What has re
ally shocked people it the fact
tnat this cloud has reached hieh
Republican officialdom. The
Fay case is an examole. ' The
Adonis case reached even into
the Trenton State House. The
acting Lieutenant Governor of
New York hat been told to re
sign by Governor Dewey, but
the people who held race-track
stock while they were charged
oy law with policing race
tracks have received no public
reDuxe irom tne Governor.
AU this fell like a tidal wave
of cold water on the campaigns
in new York City and New
Jersey. Many, many thousands.
disgusted with both parties,
simply stayed at home in New
York City and in the 6th Con
gressional district of New Jer
sey. The President knew
enough about New York City,
which after alt is hit voting
place, to endorse Riegelman,
the really able and clean Re
publican candidate for mayor.
But Riegelman and everybody
else running on the Republican
ticxet could hardly meet the
shock of what had happened to
ine farty in the state. I imag
ine that is what happened in
New Jersy, too.
It is not encouraging to the
President's loyal supporters

is, of course, always refreshing
to find humility in a public
man, especially in a President,
but the comment about a "nov
ice" was attached to a state
ment that he never claimed to
be a politician. He should be
reminded that a lot of politic
ians are fine people and that
thousands of them fought hard
for him. There is nothing bad
about being a politician. In
fact, from the moment he
agreed to run, the President
has been a politician. It also
ought to be added that he has
been in the business long
anough to move out of the nov
itiate. The most disturbing state
ment of all was that Eisenhow-
