MAIL TRIBUNE
Back To Dick Croker
Mr. Dave Beck of the Teamsters TIninn is n throw
back from days of Boss Tweed and Tammany Chief
tain "Dick" Croker.
Beck too is the "Big Boss."
He is the bio- man nhvsicallv and a shrewd man
mentally. But he rules and
essentially by the force of
and his ruthlessness
His opponents have not been converted, they have
been crushed. And as the supreme overlord of the
largest union in the ponntrv. Rnss TWk has as
Messers. Tweed and Croker
enormously, not only by a steady increase m power
but personal profits of gargantuan proportions.
IT WAS much the same in the "good old days" of
1 boss rule in New York City.
We never knew Tweed, of course, except by repu
tation, but we did know "Dictator" Dick Croker
slightly. Once upon a time we interviewed him at his
"castle" retreat near Dublin, Ireland.
He had decided the "Emerald Isle" was a more
relaxing and comfortable place than Lower Manhat
tan, particularly with Charles E. Hughes of insurance
scandal fame in the Governor's chair at Albany.
AT THE time of the interview Governor Hughes
had just secured the outlawing of gambling at
horse races in the Empire State, which of course, ruin
ed the "sport of kings." Mr. Croker had just won
the English Derby, and had an extremely profitable
"stable" in operation at Leopardstown, near his
home, so he had a few terse and sizzling remarks to
make about what he called that "pink-whiskered gos
pel singer," adding that instead of being chief execu
tive of the state of New York, Mr. Hughes should be
beating the drum and singing hymns in the Salvation
Army.
CROKER also had a bronze statue of his
prize bulldog (deceased) in the huge reception
hall, and there was facially (except for the Croker
graying whiskers) a striking family resemblance.'
Moreover, temperamentally, they were kin. Dick
Croker, too, was built for fighting and had a pug
nacious undershot jaw as well as a fighter's heart.
He was no black knight in shining armor, however.
When things got too hot for him, and he was far down
on the short end of the betting odds, as to a Sing Sing
trip, the battle scarred warrior, who always had a
sharp eye out for feathering the Croker nest, turned
his vast assets into cash, and took a royal suite on the
next liner for Liverpool, on his way to his dream city
of Dublin.
He also took unto himself a new wife, if we re
member correctly. But that whether true or not is
far afield from the present theme of this offering
which is merely to emphasize the fact that as a prom
inent figure on the American political stage today,
Mr. Dave Beck is not so much a devil as an anachron
ism. He and his technique
tne ney clay ot lammany
it, he represents in mores
uounsnea in iew lone particularly in the dark de
cades following the Civil War but which the country
as a whole has passed, and let us hope, forever.
'
CO AS we listened to Dave Beck over "TV" last
Sunday we were continually reminded of Dick
Croker, there was the same vital physical FORCE,
the same strong uncompromising, combative convic
tions, the same very slightly veiled contempt for
what Croker liked to call the "drum-beaters and the
hymn singers" the entire caboodle of reformers
who, if they had their way, would, he thought, ruin
business from the Batteiy to the end of upper Broad
way. )ICK CROKER was not like Tweed, a crude crook
and cheap graf ter. He was crude all right, accord
ing to Emily Post, but he was essentially a shrewd
and forceful business boss in politics. He ruled Tam
many, and therefore New York, with an iron hand
and believed no doubt sincerely he only got what
was his riehtful share of the profits of a "wide-onen
j town." Croker never forgot the poor people of New
; York he had been one of them himself he saw not
j only they got food and coal when in need, but that
they voted for the candidates he wanted, at election
time. And for many, many years they did.
IT WAS nice work if you could get it and Dick
Croker got it. Well Boss Beck showed in his inter
view over the air, that being boss of the teamsters
union is also nice work if you can get it, and he got
it and still has it.
He boirowed millions from the union funds, and
he made millions for the union and himself.
When asked if he paid the union any interest on
the loans or put up any adequate collateral, he replied
in the negative. When one of the panel inquired in
ingratiating tones if he (Beck) thought that "good
business" practice, the Seattle labor-leader pondered
a moment then said in a low voice "probably not" but
he at Once shouted, "they were paid back, weren't
they, every cent? And I have two more millions to
spend in their behalf."
T EST the above be misunderstood, Dave Beck, like
any other citizen, is to be judged innocent of any
wrong-doing until his guilt has been proved in court.
And no guilt as yet has
is none will be. As far as
cerned, just as Dick Croker ranked several degrees
of latitude above "Boss

Soviets Make Determined Try
To Strengthen Kadar Regime
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Soviet Russia appears to be
making a determined attempt to
strengthen the regime of Com-
mier Janos Ka
dar of Hun
gary. At the same
time, it is mak
ing Kadar
more and
more of a pup
pet who is

domination.
Kadar, who betrayed the gov
ernment of Imre Nagy during
the Hungarian revolt, arrived in
Moscow Wednesday on a "state"
visit which is expected to last
10 days or more.
His hosts really rolled out the
red carpet for him.
They knew, as Kadar did, that
he left behind him a sullen, bit
ter people who accept him only
because a Russian army of oc
cupation is ready to turn its
tanks and artillery against them
at the first sign of a new revolt.
Russian Unity Campaign
It is no doubt true that Ra
dar's visit, like that of other
leaders of the Soviet satellite
countries in recent weeks, is part
of a Russian campaign to
strengthen the "unity" of the
satellites.
The strengthening is being ef
fected by stamping out, as far
as possible, every vestige of lib
eralized government in the coun
tries of Communist Eastern Eur
ope except Poland, which
made its revolt stick by not car
rying it too far.
From Washington
By Roscoe Drummond
SHIFTS IN THE HIGH
COMMAND
Washington There are
changes being made in the high
command of the armed forces
which will bring major conser
quences in their wake. The two
most significant are these:
For the first time the Joint
Chiefs of Staff will have an Air
Force general as chairman and
two of its four members drawn
from the air arm of the services.
For the first time since the
end of World War II the supreme
command in the Pacific is being
transferred from the Army to the
Navy and headquarters will be
moved 4,000 miles nearer the
continental United States
from Tokyo to Hawaii.
Although public announce
ment may not be made for a
while, all of these top command
appointments are now firm
with the approval of the Presi
dent. Here is the personnel of
the new Joint Chiefs of Staff:
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Chief
of Staff of the Air Force for the
last two years, will succeed
Adm. Arthur W. Radford, who is
retiring, as Chairman of the J.-
C.S.
Gen. Thomas D. White, pres
ently Vice Chief of Staff of the
Air Force and one of the ablest
though least-publicized officers
at the Pentagon, is being pro
moted to Chief of Staff, succeed
ing Gen. Twining.
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chief
of naval operations, will be con
tinued for another two-year
term.
THE chairmanship of the Joint
Chipfs. who arp thp spnior
military advisers to the Presi
dent, the National Security
Council and the Secretary of De
fense, is as powerful as the man
who occupies it. The law does
not require that it be rotated
among the three services but this
has been the practice since the
unification act of 1947. General
of the Army Omar Bradley was
chairman during the last Tru
man term and Admiral Radford
has been chairman during the
first Eisenhower term.
This means that General Twin
ing is not being promoted to the
chairmanship for the explicit
purpose of giving larger repre
sentation to the Air Force. But
the effect is to give added pres-i
tige and influence in the coun
cils of both strategy and budget
making for air-power at a time
But they all had one quality in common, they ruled
their domains arbitrarily with an iron hand and ex
acted a heavy tribute in personal profit for them
selves. '
CO WE return to where we came in as far as our view
of the "Portland mess" is concerned.
THE remedy as we see it does not lie in these senate
committee hearings, revealing, damaging and en
livening as they are.
Nor even in court action that may follow. Although
both should help.
It lies in the final analysis, we believe, with the
rank and file of organized labor, particularly, of
course, with the members of the teamsters union,
themselves, and the determination on their part to
clean .house from top to bottom, establish their or
ganization affairs on a sound, honest,-business-like
and DEMOCRATIC basis, and get rid of the sort of
discredited "boss" tyranny the Becks and the Brew
sters and the Hoffas represent.
They can do it if they will.
We doubt if anyone else can. R.W.R.
Most of the present leaders
in the satellites are pretty firm
ly in control of their countries.
All of them, again with the ex
ception of Poland, are tough
"Stalinists," who opposed the
trend toward liberalization that
resulted from Khrushchev's de
nunciation of Josef Stalin.
Kadar Regime Jittery
But Kadar and those associat
ed with him in the Hungarian
government, are jittery. They
were openly alarmed last Fri
day, the anniversary of the 1848
revolution against Hapsburg rule
at the possibility of a new re
volt by workers. They seem to
In the Day's News
By FRANK
Here's an interesting question:
WHAT HAPPENED to cause
the pleasant home city of Port
land, Oregon, to be chosen by a
select committee of the United
States senate as the place in
which to open an investigation
into racketeering an"3 corrup
tion an i.ivestigation whose dis
closures have shocked the na
tion? Was Portland that bad?
I doubt it.
Portland has been a victim of
circumstances.
TN TRYING to trace these cir
cumstances, let's go back to
Dorothy McCullough Lee. After
an exceptional career in public
life, Mrs. Lee was chosen mayor
of Portland. I think it must be
said this is observation from a
when the air-power race with the
Soviet Union is most acute. '
General Twining and the up
coming Air Force chief. General
White, will make a formidable
team. General White is a crea
tive, imaginative thinker in the
whole range of air strategy. To
gether, they can hardly fail to
make a considerable impact up
on the thinking of the J.C.S. Ad
miral Burke is also one of the
most air-minded men in the
Navy.
The naming of Adm. Felix B.
Stump, who has been the Navy
commander in the Pacific for
several years, as the supreme
commander of all American
forces in the Pacific is a far
reaching change. A succession of
Army generals Gen. Matthew
Ridgway, General Taylor, Gen.
Lyman L. Lemnitzer succeeded
General of the Army Douglas
MacArthur as supreme com
mander and as pro-consul of the
occupation of Japan. Obviously
the Korean war and its conse
quences justified these appoint
ments since the role of the Army
was transcendent.
THERE are Army officers who
are genuinely anxious over
the shift which is now being
made, particularly the removal
of supreme headquarters several
thousand miles further away
from the scene of potential trou
ble. Frankly, one of the reasons
at least one of the by-products
of General Taylor's present
trip to the Far East is to quiet
the mutterings and ease the
heart-burnings among the top
Army command from Alaska to
the Philippines.
In all of this there is no res
ervation about the personal and
p r ofessional qualifications of
Admiral Stump. He is one of the
Navy's best and respected by all
the services.
General Lemnitzer, now su
preme commander in Tokyo, is
due to return to the Pentagon as
Vice Chief of Staff of the Army.
He will succeed General Willis
ton B. Palmer, who will prob
ably take over the 7th Army
command in western Europe.
General Taylo., an air-minded,
paratroop-experienced off icer,
will remain a major figure at
the Pentagon and at 'he end of
two years will be at the top rung
of the ladder when it will again
be the turn of the Army to chair
the Joint Chiefs,

be afraid that despite the ruth
less repression to which they
have resorted, the workers and
students may treak into revolt
again at any time.
Kadar's position personally is
so weak that he has had some
difficulty in finding suitable
men to share the responsibilities
of government with mm.

distance that she governed
Portland much as a wise mother
would govern her family. Her
basi- idea, it always seemed to
me, was that laws were enacted
to be enforced
Among other things, she was
familiar as a lawyer with the
section of the Oregon constitu
tion that forbids lotteries a pro
vision of the state's constitution
that still stands. She took it ser
iously. Along with the rest, she
enforced the laws against gamb
ling. A lot of people didn't like
that. They thought it was "bad
for business." So, in time, Mrs.
Lee ceased to be mayor of Port
land. Her successors were less
rigorous than she had been,
There were times, it is alleged,
when they looked the other di
rection when games of chance
were under way.
So
In timp
The word got around that
Portland might be a good place
to do a little gambling for prof
it with, perhaps, a few side is
sues having to do with the oldest
profession.
The story of what followed has
been brought out in shocking de
tail by the senate investigating
committee.
NE THING I want to make
clear. Portland is a splendid
city. It is inhabited by splendid
people. Taking them by and
large, no finer people can be
found in America. They are
home-loving people. They want
their children to grow up in a
good atmosphere.
But
They made a bad mistake.
They let themselves fall into the
delusion that politics is no fit
business for good citizens. They
FORGOT that when good citi
zens cease to take an active and
vigorous part in politics govern
ment tends to fall into the hands
of citizens who aren't so good.
That seems to have happened
in Portland.
It explains nearly everything
that has taken place.
fNE MORE question:
v Why was Portland chosen
as the place for all this to be
brought out into the open by a
U. S. Senate investigating com
mittee?
rpHE ANSWER is significant:
Portland has an alert and
courageous newspaper that when
all this nasty business began to
happen BROUGHT IT OUT IN
TO THE OPEN BY PRINTING
IT.
It took the chances of million-
dollar libel suits and went ahead
and told the news. That is a
good newspaper's business.
When people know what is going
on, they can take steps to cure
what is wrong. .

Matter of Fact y j"Ph a!sp
THE 'GOOD ARABS'
London The Bermuda meet
ing between President Eisenhow
er and Prime Minister ' Harold
Macmillan has
a double-edged
importance. It
is about the
last chance to
save the An
glo - American
p a rtnership
and the West
ern alliance.
Yet the
pro spects of
success are not
Joseph Alsop
at all bad, despite the ugly mor
tifying disclosures of phony Am
erican promises which are now
being broken in record time, is
essentially a mere interim pay
ment for the follies of all tne
Western partners in the Suez
crisis.
The real test of President Eis
enhower and Prime Minister
Macmillan is to find a way to
dodse the final payment for
those follies. This will be noth
ing less than the destruction of
all the vital Western interests in
the Middle East, by inflamed Ar
ab nationalists led by President
Gamal Abdel Nasser and strong
ly supported by the Soviet Un
ion. If this final payment is exact
ed particularly if the oil
sources are nationalized the
effect on the Western Alliance
and most particularly on the An
glo-American partnership will
be downright catastrophic.
TUT the first hopeful factor is
t the grim bout of fact-facing
that has been going on here in
Britain. British power and influ
ence in the Middle East, which
have always been overestimated
in London, have now altogether
ceased to exist. They have there
fore got to be replaced by Amer
ican power and influence, if
anything at all is to be saved
from the wreck.
Fortunately, the members of
the inner circle of British pol
icy-makers have faced these un
palatable facts. It is a hard blow
to British pride. It will cause
much friction before it is all ov
er. But they are now willing to
commit the protection of . their
Middle Eastern interests to Am
erican hands.
As for the second hopeful fac
tor, it is the gradual emergence
of relatively serious American
policy for the Middle East, not
based on moralistic prating, and
not characterized either by has
ty unloading of national respon
sibilities into the leaky vessel of
the United Nations.
Curiously enough, this new
American policy rather closely
resembles the old British policy.
It is based on rallying and re
inforcing the Arab leaders not
implacably hostile to the West
"good Arabs" as Sir Anthony Ed
en used to call them.
TT IS a considerably more prac
1 tical policy for the United
States than it was for Britain.
On the one hand, American in
fluence does not yet bear the
colonialist taint, so it is less em
barrassing for the "good Arabs"
to turn to America. On the oth
er hand, the United States has
what Britian never had, friend
ly relations with the most impor
tant good Arab," King Saud of
Saudi Arabia.
In fact, the first test of the
new American policy s success
will be whether King Saud real
ly was persuaded, during his vis
it to Washington, to cease financ
ing the propaganda and policy of
President Nasser in the other Ar
ab States.
Fortunately, the really impor
tant Arab governments, the gov
ernments of . the oil-producing
states and Sheikhdoms, are all
still in the "good Arab category."
Despite President Nasser s con
stant appeals to the mobs in their
countries to install other gov
ernments, Nuri Pasha of Iraq
and all the others are still suc
cessfully hanging on.
If they can now be reinforced
and rallied, the worst potential
consequences of the Suez deba
cle will have been avoided. But
this task on which the American
policy-makers have now at last
embarked is extremely delicate
and complex.
ALL the complexities must be
examined and resolved at
Bermuda, moreover. As a prac
tical matter, for instance, clear
agreements must be made about
the way to hanc'.le the very
touchy human problem that is
bound to arise in certain Middle
Eastern capitals. In these places,
the British ambassador has al
ways behaved almost as a vice
roy, while his American col
league has never been more, in
Hamlet s phrase, than an attend
ant lord. Reversing the roles will
not be easy. And it will require
cards-on-the-table negotiation.
Hence the main reason for
qualifying one's optimism is
simply the personality of John -
Foster Dulles. The Secretary of
State prefers to tell nothing to'
any one, even in his department.
He detests putting the cards on
the table, especially for allies.
He and British Foreign Secre
tary Selwyn Lloyd also carry a
leaden luggage of bitter Suez
memories.
In other words, Anglo-Ameri
can agreement on a new Middle
Eastern policy is now theoreti
cally possible. But if this agree
ment is to be reached, and the
Western Alliance is thereby to
be saved, President Eisenhower
will almost surely have to carry
the ball in person at Bermuda.
