A BIT OF THE FAR EAST IN THE WEST

iFrench Lose ! Demos Have an Issue in
Key Village Business Slump-Unless
HANOI, Indochina W The
French conceded Monday the lost
of AUnpeu, a key Laotian village
in central Indochina, but claimed
a successful fight far to the north
in the lied River dcltt, with 111
of the Vietminh enemy killed and
72 captured.
A communique said the French
withdrew from Attopcu three days
ago, and a battalion of the Communist-led
Vietminh occupied the
town. It is in Laos, 28C miles
north of Saigon.
The town ha: long been a garri
son for French and Laotian troops
because it is at an important
crossroads 70 miles east of Paksc,
a big French base on the Mekong
Ilivei
In the fighting in the north,
French mobile groups, spearhead
ed by tanks, drove against a Viet
minh regiment entrenched in three
villages. The enemy losses were
chalked up in the initial stages of
a hard-fought battle, the French
said.

State Department
'Mess' Being Cleaned
WASHINGTON - R. W. Scott
McLeod, security administrator of
the Department o State, said Mon
day it is "not valid" to contend
that new security procedures have
lowered morale of the U.S. For
eign Service.
"We are gradually cleaning up
the 'mess' in the State Depart
ment," McLeod said in a copy
righted interview with the maga
line U.S. News and World Report.
But he insisted that it was being
done without harm to the effective
Dttss of the department,
McLeod also said Sen. McCarthy
(R.-Wis.) had "absolutely nothing
to oo with his appointment to his
present job, and he characterized
as "ridiculous" any reports that a
man may be fired because his su
periors do not like his choice of
reading matter.
McLeod said that last year, the
department dropped from the pay-
A MERE $3000
: roll about 300 persons about whom
j there were unresolved security
questions. The department em
. ploys about 11.000 persons. He said
the number might include some
who resigned before their security
clearances had been completed.
President Eisenhower announced
a month ago that 2,200 persons
had bee, dropped in the whole
government under the security
program. He has declined thus far
to give any breakdown which
would indicate how many had been
found to be disloyal and how many
were dropped for other reasons,
such as talking or drinking too
much.
McLeod also said (hat since 1947,
when the department starled
keeping totals, more than S00
homosexuals had been dropped. He
said he did not regard this as "an
unusual percentage" in compari
son to the general population but
that it was "an intolerable per
centage in a sensitive agency."

WASHINGTON on - If events,
like a horse, could be made to
stand still, the Democrats and Re
publicans already would have their
main issues for the 1954 congres
sional election in November.
The Democrats are hammering
on the downturn in business which
has occurred under the Eisenhow
er administration.
And the Republicans are working
overtime on the subject of Com-munists-in-government
under the
Democrats.
By election time, business condi
tions may have leveled off, as
administration economists say they
will. If they don't, the Democrats
will have a talking point probab
ly overshadowing everything else.
And the issue of Communists-in-government
may be pushed into
the background by other develop
ments before then.
For instance, by November Con
gress will have finished this year's
work on Eisenhower's program,
which affects practically everyone;
taxes, social security, unions, bus
iness, tariffs.
The President himself has said
that if his party doesn't put over
a progressive program it doesn't
deserve to win. The congressional
score on his program will provide
plenty of election issues.
But at this time, before Congress
even begins to act on most of the
program, Communists in govern
ment and the economic reverse
have given the politicians on both
sides something to talk about.
For 20 years, beginning in the
19.12 campaign, the Democrats
barged away at the fact that the
big depression began under the
Republicans, which may explain
one reason for their hitting so hard
on the downturn now.
When some Republicans reacted
with the charge that talk of a re
cession is unethical and almost un
American, it may have been an
indication that recession talk was
getting under their skin.
And although Eisenhower himself
said, when asked about this, that
everyone is entitled to bis own
opinion, he, too, denounced the
"prophets of gloom and doom."
Over the weekend Sherman
Aoams, former governor of New
Hampshire and now Eisenhower's
assistant, said Democrats and
"left-wingers" arc trying to "foist"
a "Fear Deal" on the people.
That the Republicans are meet
ing recession talk head on so fast
can be considered both a mark of
their aggressiveness and a sign
that this is going to be a rough
political year.
Ally. Gen. Rrownell gave notice
of rugged days ahead near last
year's end with his attack rn
former President Truman.
The man Brownell twice tried to
steer into the presidency, Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York,
stepped up the tough talk not only
about Truman but Democrats in
general.
In a December speech, Dewey
told a Hartford, Conn., audience
that for the rest of their lives they
must associate the words "Truman
and Democrat" with "diplomatic
failure, military failure, death and
tragedy."
Now Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis),
who has been making Communists-In-government
an issue for four
years and wants to keep it one,
is going around the country saying
that while there are some excep
tions among the Democrats their
party has tagged itself as standing
for "government of, by and for
Communists . . ,"

cars. But what a difference it really makes to
drive a car built for traffic! Those wonderful power features -and
that thrilling V-161 engine!
you can't imagine what it's like
to escape from traffic tension ! A 4-way power seat. Power steering. Power

that make driving liquid easy. And wait 'til you feel Ball-joint front suspension I
