Nixon Controversial Figure
With Many Politicians
Br LYLE C. "WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IP) None
can say precisely when the
name Richard M. Nixon be
came fighting words.
Smile, stranger, when you
call me that. But fighting
words they did become
among Democrats generally
and especially among the left
wing of American politics.
This mild-mannered young
Quaker with a quick smile
which sometimes is shy be
came in the span 'of a few
years the most controversial
figure in American politics.
It will be 12 years next No
vember since Nixon first was
elected to the House of Rep
resentatives, eight years in
November since he was elec
ted to the Senate.
Two years ago, come No
vember, Nixon was reelected
vice president and two years
from next November, who
knows, he may be elected
President?
Nixon has been called a
young man in a hurry and
less flattering things, too. You
might say Nixon put to se
vere test the statement of an
earlier vice president, That
was Indiana's Tom Marshall,
1913-21.
"No one," said Marshall,
"ever would take the. trouble
to shoot a vice president."
Gets Jted-Faced
don't shoot people, however
strong the urge. Speaker Sam
Rayburn gets red-faced at the
mention of Nixon's name and
sometimes is unable to find
handy words adequate for his
feelings. Former President
Harry S. Truman will not
knowingly enter a room in
which Nixon is present. Mr.
T. doesn't want to co-star any
where with President Eisen
hower, either.
It is for Nixon, however,
that the political opposition
and notably the left wing all
the way to and including the
Communists reserve their best
anger. There's some anti-Nixon
sentiment in the Republi
can party, too, but not much.
Not one vote was cast in the
1956 Republican National
Convention against Nixon's
renomination.
Nixon stands to make his
enemies like him less this
year than last. What burns
them is his campaign speech
es and, of course, their in
ability, so far, to lick him.
In that first campaign for
the House 1946 Nixon
made a solid bid for the left
wing blacklist. He beat Jer
ry Voorhis, an able veteran
who also was a notable New
Dealer.
Four years later 1950
Nixon compounded the of
fense by defeating another
sweetheart of the well-to-left-
Tkt enemies Nixon makes of-center element. She was and abroad.
Helen Gahagan Douglas, the
prettiest member of Congress
ever who was serving in the
House with Nixon when both
decided to run for the Sen
ate. It was in August, 1948, that
Nixon got his pick into a gold
mine. The occasion was the
appearance of Alger Hiss be
fore the House Committee on
Un-American activities. Nix
on was among the few in that ;
big room who believed Hiss
was lying. That belief made
Nixon a national figure.
To say that to doubt Hiss
was unpopular puts it too
mildly. Doubting Hiss just
then offended good manners,
like dirty finger nails. The
nation's eggheads and others
leaped as though bee-stung to
Hiss' defense.
So Nixon went into the
1952 national campign with
a background which included
the political demise of Voor
his and Mrs. Douglas, the jail
ing of Hiss, service on the.
House Committee on Un-American
activities. He chose the
soft-on-Communism issue as a
major 1952 campaign theme.
Opposition Hate has
eased a bit and there is even
talk of a new Nixon. How
ever that may be, the young
man in a hurry still- moves
fast, secure in the affection of
many persons for some of the
enemies he has made at home
Morse Fed Up On Canadians
(Hitting Wheat Program
r A. ROBERT SMITH
Wail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Sen. Wayne
Mors (D-Ore.) and a good
many of his colleagues on the
foreign relations committee
gre more than slightly fed up
with Canadian criticism of
U.S. policy regarding wheat
mrfceting abroad.
To stiffen the back of the
American ambassador, Liv
ingston T. Merchant, who must
regresent the American point
t$ view in Ottawa, the com
irfittee called him to Washing
ton last Friday for a lengthy
o-round on some points of
irritation. While the points
rangefl from St. Lawrence
Seaway tolls to the price of
bi?tr iu Canada, what was
plainly of utmost concern was
whtat.
Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D
Minn.) opened the issue by
iying he was tired of carping
fpom the Canadians over
America's policy of selling
het to many foreign coun
tries under Public Law 480.
American wheat sales have
climbed under this program
because the purchase can be
made in foreign currency,
rather than dollars, with the
government giving the wheat
seller dollars for the foreign
currency.
"Canada has a political
problem with wheat," observ
ed Humphrey, "and there is
no neater way of handling it
than to blame the United
States. We do the same thing,
blaming Japan or some other
country when we run into
trouble."
Humphrey and Sen. Burke
Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) point
ed out to the ambassador that
American farmers are restrict
ed in the acres of wheat they
can grow to be sold under gov
ernment price supports,
whereas Canada imposes no
acreage control on its farmers
and yet blames its wheat sur
pluses on American "dump
ing" of wheat , on the world
market.
Merchant said he had point
ed out to Canadians how we
had cut production, and that
this was not as much an irri
tant as before.
"This propaganda about
wheat dumping," said Sen.
Morse, "is against the long
time self-interest of the Ca
nadians, for shipment after
shipment of America wheat
has gone to countries that Ca
nada never sold to before."
Morse, recalling his visit
to India and Asia last Decem
ber, said he saw "what an
imaginative job U.S. attaches
are doing in changing the diet
from rice to wheat. Once the
children out there go on a

wheat diet, you can't get them
to go back voluntarily to a
rice diet. We are building up
a future wheat market for
Canada and ourselves."
The most important con
sideration, went on Morse, is
that America and Canada are
both in a long-term economic
contest with Soviet Russia.
"We are not appreciative of
getting kicked in the teeth by
our Canadian neighbors,"
Morse declared. "In sending
out our wheat we are really
making a strike against the
R u s s i a ns. The Canadians
ought to be passing resolutions
of commendation."
Morse said the same funda
mental applies to the dispute
over use of the Columbia
river. Russia, he observed, is
building gigantic hydroelec
tric projects which will dwarf
our largest dams.
"When Gen. McNaughton
talks of diversion (of the Co-
Canada and the United States
on the power front," said
Morse.
He said reports of a possible
diversion, to the detriment of
the Pacific Northwest create
the impression on this side of
the border that Canada is go
ing "to make us pay through
the nose" for any power agree
ment. "We have a common prob
lem with Russia," he added,
"and when one weakens the
other, we are both weakened.
Food and power are the two
areas in which the economic
struggle with Russia will be
fought. We and Canada must
stick together."
Sen. Mike. Mansfield (D
Mont.) asked about progress
on getting agreement to build
Libby dam. Merchant said he
had delivered a note to the
Canadian government three
weeks ago asking for ne
gotiations but had not yet re-
lumbia) it will weaken both ceived an answer.
