High Westerlies
Blamed for Rough
January Weather
Washington (CPU For a
while it looked as though the
high westerlies had reformed
and would let us have a
moderately decent January.
But they backslid - with
results already bitterly ap
parent over much of the coun
try. Instead of balmy and be
nign, January promises gen
erally to be mean and miser
able. The high westerlies are the
lofty rivers of air which ap
pear, by the way they flow,
to dictate the weather pattern
of the northern temperature
zone.
Undulating Courses
These air currents normal
ly move in gently undulating
courses from West to East.
Sometimes, however, they get
diverted for unknown reasons
into an abnormal zig-zag sys
' tem which carries them far to
the North and deep into the
South as they make their way
across the continent.
When this happens, warm
tropical air clashes with cold
polar air and we get what Dr.
Jerome Namias calls "a vigor
ous winter." According to
Namias, chief of the weather
bureau's extended forecasts
section, the high westerlies
went wrong early last fall.

GOP vice presidential nomi
nation and Sen. John F. Ken

Washington (UPD President
Eisenhower's appeal that Con
gress avoid . wrangling with
his administration Thursday
brought a rejoinder from Sen
ate Democratic Leader Lyn
don B. Johnson that coopera
tion is a "two-way street."
Other Democrats the con
trolling party in Congress -joined
Johnson is sharply
noting the President's anti
wrangling remarks.
John son commented: "I
want to say right now that I
agree that interbranch wrang
ling takes time from coopera
tion to promote the peace and
prosperity of the nation. I
hope that the administration
will take a further step and
rememer the past and recog
nize that cooperation is a two-
way street."
The sharpest immediate
criticism came from Sen. Hu
bert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.),
an avowed candidate for the
presidential nomination.
He said the President's ap
peal against wrangling was
"an unwarranted attack on a
responsible and sincere Con
gress which has gone more
than halfway toward meeting
the President in the past."
Civil Rights Problem
Humphrey added: "It is the
President who has used the
veto who has insisted on
legislation without due regard
to the will of the elected ma
jority."
Humphrey questioned
whether Eisenhower firmly
supported his own civil rights
commission recommendations.
He denounced the President's
farm proposal as "bland,
meaningless, painful generalities."
Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.),
a leading advocate of civil
rights legislation, sharply at
tacked the President's recom
mendation on this issue with a
Lincoln quotation:
"The President's recommen
dations on civil rights are as
deficient in their content as
homeopathic soup made from
the shadow of a pigeon that
has starved to death," he said.
Republicans almost unani
mously praised the message.
Lavish GOP Praise
Senate Republican Leader
Everett M. Dirksen (111.) hail
ed it as a "great message from
a big man with a big heart."
Dirksen said it was "one of
the most substantive messages
I have heard in 25 legislative
years."
The GOP leader said he was
glad Eisenhower "put the em
phasis where it belongs on
security, solvency, peace,
freedom and retention of a
balanced system of govern
ment." " ;
Former House Republican
Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr.
(Mass.) said the message "for
the most part outlined prev
ious suggestions of the Presi
dent" and urged action this
year.

Anti-Semitism Flare
Not Believed Tied
To Organized Move
Editor's note: Who is responsible
for the current wave of anti-Semitism?
Is there a revival of the
Nazi party in the nations where
acts of vandalism have occurred?
The following dispatch, based on
information from the capitals of
Western Europe, is by the general
European news manager of Lnited
Press International.
By HARRY FERGUSON
London (UPD On a June
evening in 1919 a small group
of men gathered under a gas
street lamp in Munich to hold
a political rally. An obscure
politician named Gottfried
Feder made a speech to the
German workers' party de
nouncing "international Jew
ish capitalism." A young man
who had listened intently was
asked to join the party. He
agreed and became member
No. 7.
"It was the most fateful de
cision of my life," Adolf Hit
ler wrote later.
It also was a fateful mo
ment for Jews everywhere.
For the seeds that were plant
ed in Hitler's mind that night
grew into the bitter fruit of
the Nazis' oppression and
mass murder of the German
Jews. .
Outbursts Spread .
In recent days there has
been a new outburst of anti
Semitism, and it has spread
to 13 European countries,

and the United States. In Nor
way a statue of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, a n Episcopalian
whom Hitler often referred to
as a Jew, has been desecrated.
Does this mean that Hitler
ism is on the rise and that
groups of Nazis still exist in
17 nations?
Well- informed persons
doubt it. The Nazi high com
mand was destroyed after
World War II. Hitler, Goeb
bels and Goering committed
suicide. The Nuernberg trials,
by sentences of death or im
prisonment, took care of most
of the others. The one elusive
figure is Martin Bormann who
walked out of the Berlin
bunker where Hitler took his
own life. The weight of evi
dence seems to indicate he is
dead, but rumors recur that
he escaped alive and is plot
ting a Nazi revenge.
Cites Irresponsibility
The most plausible explan
ations for the events of recent
days:
1. There Is a small residue
of ' old and new Nazis in
Western Germany who so far
have escaped the Adenauer
government's attempts to root
out anti-Semitism. It is likely
that they are the persons re
sponsible for the one act that
led to all the others the de
facing of the Cologne syna
gogue on Christmas Eve.
2. There are anti-Semites in
many countries who never
were Nazis. The Cologne in
cident gave them an idea and
they acted on it
3. Much of the vandalism
many informed persons think
most of it - has been commit
ted by irresponsible young
sters who were out for a sort
of morbid Halloween adven
ture. Many of them probably
don't know the precise mean
ing of the phrase "anti-Semitic."
4. The feeling is widespread
in West Germany that Com
munists are partly responsible
for the vandalism and that it
is an attempt to embarrass the
Adenauer government. The
tendency is to blame the East
German Communists rather
than the Russians.
Rock Hits Window
Of Oregonian Man
Portland -UPD- A rock was
hurled through a picture win
dow at the home of an Ore
gonian advertising salesman
Wednesday night, police said.
The rock, apparently thrown
from a passing automobile,
crashed into the front room
of a home belonging to Jim
Keever. He told officers the
rock crashed through the glass
and struck the back of a tele
vision set. His wife and two
small children also were in
the room.
Keever said he received a
threatening telephone call
about two weeks ago from
a woman who warned him
not to leave his house.
Youngster Busy
Hospital Customer
Pittsburgh-(UPD-The staff at
Columbia hospital wonders
what 1960 will be like for
3-year-old Tod Treganowan.
Tow-headed Tod made five
appearances at' the hospital
during 1959, each time as an
emergency case. The log
reads:
Instrument removal of
kernel of corn lodged deep
in right ear.
Four stitches to close pen
cil wound in roof of mouth.
Instrument removal of
ground beef jammed up left
nostril.
Stomach pump to remove
one pint of cleaning fluid
taken orally.
Rabies shot for bite on
left hand from pet hamster.
Soap Waste
Chicago An average
American wastes the equiva
lent of two cakes of soap a
year.
Rep. John W. Byrnes (Wis.),
chairman of the House GOP
Policy Committee, hailed the
message as "a splendid statement."
McDonald Lauds
Kennedy's Father
Washington-IUPD-Steelwork-er's
President David J. Mc
Donald said Thursday the
father of Sen. Joseph F. Ken
nedy (D-Mass.), deserved as
much credit as Vice President
Richard M. Nixon for settling
the long steel dispute.
Nixon and Labor Secretary
James P. Mitchell were credit
ed with arranging the steel
agreement in a series of back
stage meetings. Many political
observers said Nixon's efforts
boosted his 1960 presidential
chances.
But McDonald said that
financier Joseph P. Kennedy,
father of the Democratic presi
dential aspirant, did as much
as anyone to bring about the
steel settlement "through
talks with his Wall Street
banker friends."
McDonald said the elder
Kennedy, former U.S. ambas
sador to Great Britain, made
his banker friends "see the
light" and persuaded them to
throw their support behind a
steel settlement.
The steel union chief said
either Nixon or Sen. Kennedy
would make a good president.
