la The-
Day's ifavs
By FRANK JENKINS
Today' dose of politics:
, Sautter Paul Douglas of Illinois
(on of the abler middle-oMhe-road
Democrats) brushes aside contemp
tuously .today charges by the Re
publican national committee that
Democrats are misusing congress
ional investigations to smear the
Reawblican party. .
' Hat calls the complaint, "circus
lntiaoade" which, he says, was
letiaed long ago by Mark Twain
jag-consisting of three drops of
Ion; juice to a barrel of water.
f statement, I'll go along with Sena
tor Douglas. Tne amendment
&b" old read something like this:
:The Democrats' political cam
paign charges against the COPs
including the aemogogic lulmina
lions of Minnesota's Senator Hum
phrey in Klamath Falls the other
day are just as ridiculous as
1b Republican compiauit that the
Democrats are using committee
Investigations to SMEAR the Re-
f uWican party.
Of course they are! When the
Republicans were out and wanted
ua, they used committee lnvcstiga.
tiem to discredit the Democrats
That's politics as practiced.
'! ' ,
Why these tactics which are
used by both sides?
The answer is simple.
The politicians are sure that at
leaat 75 per cent of the voters
are. morons, and plan their cam
paigns accordingly.
The Soviet Union is celebrating
today the 38th anniversary of the
Bolshevik revolution of 1917
which is the communist FOURTH
OF JULY. It was in the early days
of November of 1917 that the peo
ple of Russia, led by the Bolshevik
party, arose in their might and
. threw oft the yoke of tne czars
The 1917 revolution in Russia
had all the possibilities for human
betterment of our Declaration of
Independence and our enduing Rev
olutionary War. It fizzled because
the communists who engineered it
bad no vision of the fundamental
lights of man.
Our Founding Fathers had a
deep cense of the rights of man
which they expressed in this pas
sage of the preamble of the Declar
ation of Independence:
; "We hold these truths to be
sell-evident, that ALL men are
created equal, that they are en
dowed by their Creator with cer
t-Oil unalienable rights, that among
these are Life, - Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness.' -' -'- "
1 "That to secure these TlgUti gov
ernments are instituted among
men, deriving their just powers
liom the consent of the governed.
' r - Hie communists who led the 1917
. revolution had no such vision of
human liberty. All they could think
of was THROWING SOMEBODY
ELSE OUT OF POWER AND
GETTING INTO POWER THEM
SELVES. ,
What tragedy that was!

Dulles Eyes
Fresh Arms
GENEVA I Secretary of State
Dulles conferred Monday with dis
armament expert Harold Stassen.
He opened a drive to get Russian
participation in measures designed
to make a massive surprise attack
by either America or the Soviet
Union impossible.
Dulles returned from the Yugo
slavia resort of Brioni Sunday
night . with an agreement from
Marshal Tito that the Soviet satel
lite states of E a s t e m Europe
should regain their independence.
tbis was regarded in Western
quarters here as a boost for the
American campaign to keep alive
the quest for freedom in the Hon
Curtain countries, especially since
it was only a few months ago that
Soviet leaders tried to talk Tito
back into the satellite fold.
Dulles met with his stafl Mon
day morning and conferred with

sen arrived here Saturday. As
President Eisenhower's special ad
viser on disarmament he will par

"No Force'
Plan Made
LONDON UV The Communist
Dsily Worker - reported Monday
Red China has proposed to the
United States a joint, declaration
renouncing" the use of force. "
There was no official couiirma
lion of the report.
In a dispatch irom Geneva, the
newspaper said Red China envoy
1 Wang Ping-nan made the oliei
there on Nov. 3 during the am-
oassaaoriai talks on uie release
ot prisoners and other issues be
tween the two countries.
The proposal was said to have
beea coupled .with a renewed call
for a meeting b-Hwecn U.S. Sec
retary of State DuUes and Chou
En-lai. Red China'3 premier and
foreign minister.
U.S. Ambassador U. A. John
son countered Wang's ofler with
the demand that the declaration
renouncing the use of force speci
fically cover Formosa, the dispatch
said. , ,
The U.S. Embassy and British
Foteign Office refused to comment
on the story, saying it was a mat
ter for the. U.S. State Department.
But in official circles there was
a tendency lo give credence to
the report. One responsiDle official
suggested that the Chinese Reds
deliberately leaked details of the
secret negotiations to embarrass
the United States.
Earlier reports from Geneva said
the question of a Chinese declara
tion renouncing the use of force
had been discussed at the Nov. 3
Geneva meeting, but no details
were given.

a law permitting the armed serv

The decl.-lnn means that former

Justice Black delivered the ma

The vote was 6-5. Justices Reed,

the majority with Black were Chlrf
