Revival of 'Go It Alone' Spirit Said Evident in American Politics
By LYLE C. WILSON
Uniltd Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Putting
one and one together to make
two. there is more than a touch
of isolation in
current Ameri
can poll tical
trends.
It is not the
old time relig
1 o n isolation
ism of the
1920s. Then
the United
States was
spurning the
League of Nations and trying to
collect the war debts of 1917-18
But, the trend is evident. If
it continues it will considerably
reshape the foreign policies of
the United States as they were
developed during the Truman
administration and carried on
without amendment by Presi
dent Eisenhower.
A dispatch to the London
(England ) Daily Telegraph writ
ten by its chief Washington cor
respondent, Denys Smith, was
printed under this headline:
Revival of "Go-Ii-Alone"
Spirit in U.S. Congress
Smith is a veteran of 30 years
of Washington reporting. His
paragraphs summed up what is
happening, as follows:
"There is a somewhat disturb
ing common factor in the simul
taneous congressional drives to
reduce military foreign aid and
to increase Air Force appropria
tions for long-range jet bombers.
"It is that Congress is showing
a preference lor a reliance on
the United States' own military
strength, rather than on the
Western Alliance for its secur
ity. It is in some respects evi
dence of a 'Go-It-Alone' spirit."
Smith made the point that
after Gen. Curtis E. LeMay jolt
ed Congress with his estimate
Laughs of the Day . . .
Chicago (U.R) Harry
Owetis, 36, of Dallas, Tex., had
a ready explanation when de
tectives found his car loaded
with a revolver, 100 bullets, a
tear gas gun with three shells,
11 daggers, three switchblade
knives and burglary tools.
"My hobby is shooting," he
safd, "and I throw daggers and
knives to amuse myself." The
tear gas gun? "I like to see peo
ple cry."
' Palisades Park. N.J. (U.R)
'The Palisades Amusement
Park said something went
wrong with some of its electri
cal controls and lit up the tun
nel of love bright as day.
When the trouble finally was
corrected, the management
gave free passes for another
ride through the darkened
tunnel for the couples whose
romancing was interrupted.
Montreal (U.R) Lucien
Menard'jacked up his house and
moved it half a mile to a new
site in suburban Ville LeMoyne.
Then he found that the lot was
too small.
Wallaceburg. Ont. (U.R)
The Town Council installed
new fans to make the fire
house cooler, following com
plaints by firemen that their
own prespiration caused them
to stick to the brass pole as
they slid downstairs to an
swer alarms.
Chicago
Demos, 34,
e (U.R)-' .. Christ
got too excited when
the White Sox won a double
header victory over the New
York Yankees and it cost him
$5 in court. Demos said the
"excitement was just too much
for me" and that's why he dash
ed onto the field in the middle
of the game and made a hook
slide into second base.
Machinists Strike
Chile Copper Mine
Santiago, Chile (U.R) A
stroke by machinists in protest
against the dismissal of two fel
low workers halted operatioqs
Tuesday at the Anaconda Cop
pany's Chuquicamata mine.
The two men' were fired last
week for disobeying orders from
their superiors.
Chuquicamata is the world's
biggest open copper mine. It em
ploys some 5000 workers and
produces more than 200,000 tons
of processed copper annually.
There appeared to be little
prospect of an early settlement
of the dispute. A company
spokesman warned that if the
tieup continued for more than
three days the copper ore also
would have to be stopped.
Meanwhile a strike by more
than 9000 employees of the Anglo-Chilean
and Lautaro nitrate
companies went into its fourth
day. The nitrate workers walk
ed out Saturday to enforce de
mands for a 120 per cent wage
increase.

that the Soviet Union was pro
ducing long-range bombers fast
er than the United States, Presi
dent Eisenhower had to make a
basic decision. It was whether to
sliift all-out effort to home-based,
long-range aircraft or to main
tain a mixed air force of long
range craft at home and me
dium bombers based on foreign
soil. Mr. Eisenhower chose the
latter.
That is the core of the dispute
now raging between the White
House and Congress over how
much should be appropriated for
foreign military aid and how
much for the air force. The Eis
enhower administration seems to
be losing on both counts.
The break-away from Truman-Eisenhower
foreign policy
has not yet changed the over-all
collective defense picture. But
it is a break-away, just the
same, and the break largely has
been among congressional Dem
ocrats. The Democrats were
more solidly for the . big-time
foreign aid programs begun in
the Truman administration than
the Republicans ever were. And
now they begin to balk.
Iceland's vote to send the
Americans home is contributing
its bit to the new isolationist
sentiment in the United States
So does the news from Great
Britain that defense spending
to be considerably reduced. And
the seeming inability of French-'
nen to govern themselvts or to
-ive wita tneir colonies is a factor.
