WIPED OUT OVERNICHTA
Who'll Spend the Most?
Senator Morse,- who eemi to be worrying much more
about the 1936 Oregon senatorial campaign than one who
jo often assures ui that hit re-election will be a ho-ln
should, li worrying about the big slush fund he'claimi to
believe the Republican! will use to lend him to political
oblivion.
To this Wendall Wyatt, Republican itate chairman, retorts
that Morse's "comments about the money of his opponent,
before he has one, Is a deliberate attempt to draw attention
away from the elaborate plans he has to raise a huge slush
fund of eastern money for his 1936 campaign."
"Button, button, who's got the button?" the party goers
of the gay nineties used to chorus, Now it's "who's got
the big slush fund? Don't look at me. The other side is
the culprit."
The infantry fighting of the 1956 "battle of the cenlury
Is still several months away, but the artillery barrages are
already being hurled. We'll make this prediction: So intense
will be the feeling over Morse that each side will have more
money available than it should spend, or will if it has good
sense.
The Lord Isn't always on the side with the heaviest artil
lery, as Napoleon, the phrase's author, learned to his sorrow
the last time he used artillery. It's that way in politics too.
Campaigns take money, but not all that's in the bank. A too
lavish use of funds will antagonize the public. Rather than
worry about how much the other side will spend, each side
will be wise to watch its own step, lest it sour those who
csn still be influenced.
The Morse re-election fight may be lost by the side that
spends the most, because it spends the most.
Red Writers Denounce Douglas
Llteraturnaya Gazeta, organ ot the Union of Soviet Writers
In Moscow, has denounced Associate Justice William O.
Douglas as a hypocrite in expressing his views on the Soviet
Union where he was a summer visitor.
The Gazeta said Mr. Douglas had praised Soviet Central
Asian republics after an extensive trip this summer but had
changed his tune less than three months later "to win the
approval of those American circles that obviously do not like
the truth about the Soviet Union."
The Gazeta said that Douglas, while in Moscow, spoke of
"the flourishing culture" and theatrical art of Azerbaijan,
Tadzhikistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. He was said to
have told Soviet news men that he had had an opportunity
to meet and talk freely with Soviet minority groups.
In his article in the rurrent Look, Justice Douglas said:
"The U. S. S. R. today has a brand of colonialism similar to
the kind the French practice in Morocco and moro evil than any
thing England ever promoted.
"In (Central Asia) political control is concentrated in the hands
of Russians; there arc segregated schools, special courts for the
trial ot Russians, discrimination against the native people, a ruth
less suppression of all nationalist sentiments anil a quirk liquida
tion of all those who dare breathe a word about liberty.
"Russia has no such program (leading to independence) lor its
subjugated Asian peoples."
As a guest of the Soviet Union Justice Douglas naturally
was too diplomatic to express his opinion of totalitarian
barbarism he saw, presumable because he didn't want to
be brain-washed in an Arctic Slave Camp the fato reserved
for Red- critics. G. P.
Trouble in Merlin Again
The Christmas season hasn't brought much Christmas
spirit in international relations, which is not surprising since
less than half of the world is even nominally Christian, but
it is sad to note that Russia is moving farther away from
the "spirit of Geneva" every day, with indications that 1936
it to bring another crisis at Berlin.
In 1948-49 the United States Air Force defeated a deter
mined Russian effort to push us out of Berlin by mounting
an unprecedented air lift that enabled us to service the
beleaguered city till Russia gave up her effort and permitted
ground traffic to move between West Berlin and the western
zone.
Every day now brines mounting Communist inspired dis
orders, arrests, beatings, threats, all suggesting another nt
tempt to drive us out is being mounted. There will certainly
be no surprise if another blockade is clamped down. For our
tragic failure to secure a corridor belwen Berlin and the
boundary ot the western zone in 1945 placed us at the mercy
of such tactics.
What shall we do if it happens? In our opinion we should
react as we did before, serving the city by air, refusing to
be budged by Russia's bludgeoning tactics.
To retreat would be to lose fare all over the world, to
assure the now cockv Russians that we are "on the run."
Whenever we are thev will pursue us to Kansas City and
Omaha if we give them a chance.
Our only hope of peace is to be ready to delenit ourselves.
This is the way wo have prevented all-out attack up to now.
The Negroes M list Help Too
A young negro without much between the eyes set racial
relations back tragically in New Orleans Tuesday night

An Oregon congressman polled
farmers In his district on the kind
of farm program they want. He
found that 47 per cent want govern
ment price supports abolished. The
rest were split 3!) per cent for
flexible supports, 13 ncr cent for
high, rigid supports.
While this is only one poll, it
may raise questions in the minds
of those professional farm politici
ans who seem to assume the farm
votes for 1956 arc for sale to the
highest bidder. It's possible that
other farmers, as welt as those
polled in Oregon, have learned
from sad experience that the gov
ernment is a mighty Incompetent
farm manager.

Adlal 8tevensnn continues to get
more votes than all other candi
dates put together In the latest
monthly pre-eonvpntlon check on
Democratic candidate popularity.
As of today, the Institute finds
that Stevenson is picked by 51
per cent of Democrats as the man
they want to head their slate in
1956.
In second place is Senator Esles
Kefauver of Tennessee who has
gained sharly In the last month
from 11 per cent in a November
survey to 17 per cent today. New
York's Governor Averell Harrlman
Is In third place with 8 per cent.
With the nation's Independent
voters Stevenson is also out in
front, but the difference between
Stevenson .and Kefauver is much
less marked.
In the latrst test, Stevenson polls
40 per cent among the Independ
ents to Kefauver's 21 per cent.
Today's survey was completed
before Governor Frank Lausche of
Ohio announced his candidacy as a
favorite son and thus does not
reflect any change that his an
nouncement may have.
There has been very little change
in the Democratic candidate stand
ings over the last year. Governor
Stevenson has consistently polled
more than all other Democratic
possibilities put together among
the rank-and-file of his own party
and has led the list among Independents.
Ihe question, asked of all per
sons In today's survey who classi
fied themselves as Democrats:

been mentioned as possible presi
dential candidates in 1956 for the

Recent U.SLosses in U.N.
Encourage Conservative GOP

WASHINGTON, December 21
Severe American losses in recent
United Nations controversies have
had their effect on likely presiden
tial candidates frequently mtn
Honed In White House circles as
Republican possibilities, if Presi
dent Eisenhower does not run
again. Their reverses encourage
the conservative faction headed by
Senator William F. Knowland of
California.
The two prospects believed to
have been knocked off in these
U. K. and foreign disputes are
ex-Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts, now American rep
resentative at the International
body's New York headquarters,
and Harold E. Stassen of Minnes
ota, adviser on disarmament to the
White House.
Both are great Elsenhower fa
vorites, and, therefore, acceptable
to White House strategists, Both
played a leading role in securing
the 1952 nomination for Ike over
the late Senator Robert A- Taft,
who named Knowland as his suc
cessor as Senate Majority Leader.

A SMILE OR TWO!
Louisville Courier-Journal
An old lady repeatedly observed
a young college boy with a cigar
box under his arm. One day she
stopped him and said, "Son, I m
afraid you are smoking too much."
"No, ma'am," he replied. It's
not that at all. I'm moving again."
In the Sherman Adams-Hall-Dewey
books as likely alternates. The
Bay Stater or Minnesotan would
assuredly become logical candi
dates for Vice Presidential honors,
if Nixon should be chosen to head
the ticket.
If Lodge and Stassen have been
knocked off, or if they have knock
ed, themselves off by their U. N.
failures, the choice of the Eastern
internationalist wing may have to
be Nixon by the simple process of
elimination, to wit:
Chief Justice Earl Warren In
sists that he will not quit the
bench. Treasurer Secretary George
M. Humphrey will leave Washing
ton as soon as circumstances per
mit. Humphrey was 6S last March,
and Warren passed 64 in the same
month. Their age, in view of Ike's
heart attack, will be held against
them, if nothing else.
HOPELESS EASTERNERS
The Eastern faction's onlv other
offerings so far are Sherman Ad
ams. Governor Christian A. Herter
of Massachusetts and possibly
Thomas E. Dewey. Neither Dewev
nor Adams could scrape up a squad
oi aeicgates, even .with Ike s spon
sorship. Governor Herter is not
known beyond the Hudson River,
besides suffering from arthritis
and a crippled leg.
thus, it appears that the hold
ing action against an early Eisen
hower decision on 1950, which is
masterniinded by National Chair
man Leonard W. Hall and publi
cized prayerfully by Stassen, has
become a political benefit for
Nixon. In view ot the fact that he
is opposed by Knowland and Gov
ernor Goodwin J. Knight, this new
and narrowing alignment promises
rich drama at the ban rrancisco
convention.
This strange twist has had im
mediate repercusions. Sensing
their predicament, the White House
board of strategy has redoubled
its efforts to pressure Ike into
standing for renomination. Other
wise, they fear, the chance of a
Republican defeat becomes more
imminent than ever before.
REASON FOR THEIR
SUNKEN PRESTIGE
It Is, perhaps, unnecessary to
recount why the political prestige
of Lodge and Stassen has sunk so
low so suddenly. But their Party
enemies will do so between now
and the August convention.
Lodge's handling of the Outer
Mongolia incident has been con
demned even by our Allies. Equal
ly unfortunate was his support of i
The Philipppines for nonpermanent
membership on the Security Conn-!
ell against British backed Yugo
slavia. Stasscn's cheery promises oi
progress on disarmament have
turned out to be a boy's whistling
in a gloomy international grave
yard. Possibly because he has
been more interested and active
about Presidential politics than
about his official assignment.
