They'll Bear Watching

N A CURTAIN-RAISER to the Sixth General Assembly which opened in Paris yesterday, Russia lost another attempt to get Communist China seated in the United Nations. s But it was a close vote, relatively speaking. Only 20 nations voted against the Soviet proposal, while the Russians mustered 11 votes for Red China—and 11 more nations abstained from voting. “N The move came during a brief, formal windup of the fifth session of the Assembly preparatory to the beginning ofthe mew session. But the Russians were not to be caught napping—on 88 different occasions they have made attempts in the United Nations to seat the outlaw Peiping regime. : The U. S. delegation to the Paris meeting has given repeated assurances that it can—and will—block every Soviet effort to admit the Chinese Reds. But we aren't so sure about that. On several grounds. For one thing, the delegation, under State Department guidance, has taken the stand that we cannot apply the veto to a “procedural matter”—such as the replacement _of the Chinese Nationalists by the Reds. - - = " - = » ~ ~ FOR ANOTHER thing, there might be more abstentions, or reversals, among nations usually supporting the United States—especially if Russia offers a package deal of ending the Korean War in return for getting another satellite in the United Nations. And for a third important consideration, we can't overlook the fact that our delegation is made up largely” of the same crowd which last January approved a proposal which would have given Formosa and a United Nations seat to the Chinese Reds in return for a Korean cease-fire.

Secretary of State Dean Acheson is there, delegated to handle the debate on Korea. Philip Jessup is there, despite a contrary vote of a Senate subcommittee and despite the warning of Sen. Smith of New Jersey that “he hasn't the confidence of the American people.” Jessup, the final editor of the China White Paper, which wrote off the cause of free China: Warren Austin, Mrs. Roosevelt and Ernest Gross—all of them on hand when the United States once before bowed to Russian appeasement. All of them are so eager to protect the old pro-Red China clique in the State Department, that we can't help suspecting they may be willing to make more errors to cover up the mistakes which got us into our perilous Asiatic situation—plus a shooting war in Korea.

More Hokum About Welfare

TIME, a publication which seldom lets facts spoil a good story, has dreamed up a beauty about Indiana. -In its current issue it says reporters for the Indianapolis Star discovered that folks on Indiana welfare were living in $160-a-month apartments, frequenting race-tracks, buying new autos and vacationing in Florida, which so shocked Indiana legislators that they passed the anti-secrecy law of the past session. a That's a pretty good story, and it would be even a better story if it just happened to be true. It isn’t.

=» Ed = = x »

IF reporters for the Star, or any other newspaper, found any such things going on in Indiana they have so far kept it strictly to themselves. No newspaper has published any such sweeping charges, no investigators have reported any, no legislative committees have heard any. Such minor—and wholly different—charges as were carelessly made against Indiana welfare administration without one single exception turned out on investigation to be completely without foundation in fact. Instead of being stampeded into hasty action—as Time would have us believe—by any such nonsense, Indiana's general assembly acted on the sound and considered principles that taxpayers have a right to know how their money is spent, and that sovereign states have a right to administer their own internal affairs. On those it was supported by almost every important newspaper in Indiana, and backed by overwhelming public opinion. Time, as Time would say, erred.

Nehru the ‘Neutralist’

HE AMERICANS for Democratic Action is a remnant. New Deal organization which is given to much wishful thinking in spite of its dynamic name. The ADA, which long has admired India’s Socialistic Premier Nehru, lately has been troubled by Nehru's soft attitude toward international communism. Five years ago when the ADA was formed to work for the more left-winged causes advocated by the New Deal, it is doubtful that Nehru's present stand would have given our “liberals” much concern. But now that communism appears as a grave threat to freedom, as the ADA’s have found out, they wish very earnestly Nehru would not turn his back on the cause of “liberty and peace.” So they wrote the Indian mystic asking for some words of comfort. In reply, Nehru said he differed with the Western democracies only on methods. He did not say what these methods were, but apparently they thelude:

ONE—Recognition of Red China and the contention— even after the Korean intervention—that Peiping really wants peace. : ? TWO—Refusal to join the other Asiatic nations in a Japanese peace treaty, thereby siding with Soviet Russia. THREE—Working continualiy for Red China's admission to the United Nations. FOUR—Imposing a strict gag on India's free press, and FIVE—Threatening war with Pakistan over Kashmir, “On fundamental issues,” Nehru told the ADA, “there is no difference.” . India's policy “is not neutralist, but one of active endeavor to preserve, and, if possible, establish peace on firm foundations.” : If the ADA can gain any surcease from this explanation

of Nehru's position, they are welcome to it, ~~ u od tat ; yi x i

What Will lt Be Next Week—Viole

new Conservative governnrent now being formed.

CAIRO, Nov, 7—If the next week or so of British-Egyptian strain passes without resort to major violence, it is possible a way may be opened to negotiate settlement of the crisis. This: opinion is gaining strength among the most qualified ‘foreign observers here. It explains why U. 8. policy now is to sit tight, hope for the best and exercise a moderating influence where possible. An example of this influence was A secret appeal by the United States to Britain to ease the fuel-oil squeeze which the British military command in tne Suez Canal Zone was putting on Cairo, Alexandria and the Nile. Delta.

THE BRITISH, who are in position to plunge this populous area into chaos by turning off fuel from the Canal Zone refitieries, had suspended road shipments five or six days and rail shipments for about 10 days. But they eased up over the week-end after the strong American appeal.

DEAR BOSS . . . By Dan Kidney

McCarthyism?— Just Child's Play

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7—Indiana’s mayoralty races gave a short preview of what a tough campaign will be waged in the state next year. With new National Democratic Chairman Frank E. McKinney, Indianapolis, accepting his home state as one of the real battlegrounds, and Republican Sen. William E. Jenner setting the campaign pattern. the Hoosier stumpers in '52 may make “MecCarthyism” look palhd. It is generally understood here that Sen. Jenner will seek the governorship and Rep, Charles A. Halleck. Rensselaer, or some _other Republican member of Congress or the State legislature, the

Senatorship. Should the camSen. Jenner paigners use the Mec- ... his A-bomb. Carthy technique

which has been defined as “the reckless throwing out of scandalous accusations.” the junior Senator from Indiana need feel no qualms about infringement. For Sen. Jenner was making such charges as were later to make Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R. Wis.) famous (or infamous) from the Senate floor long before the Wisconsin whirling dervish had even started to spin. That his colleagues often left the floor didn't matter any more to Sen. Jenner than it does to Sen. McCarthy. The former considers his speech calling Gen. George C. Marshall a “front for traitors” the greatest campaign document used

to re-elect Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R. Ind.) for

a second term in 1950. Having that thought in mind and running for governor, or another senatorial term. Sen. Jenner can be counted on to use all of his oratorical A-bombs. Although a Senate rules subcommittee calied the “McCarthyism” campaign which unseated Sen. Millard E. Tydings, Marvland Democrat, last year a “despicable back street type,” Sen. Jenner went out of his way to give it his okay.

Published Views

ALTHOUGH not a meruber of the subcommittee which heard the evidence, Sen. Jenner, as a member of the rules committee. had his views in the Maryland case published by the government printing office and bound as a committee report which can be used as a campaign document. His main contention is that the veteran Sen. Tydings was defeated by Republican Sen. John Marshall Butler, a political unknown, largely because of the Tydings committee report which denied all of Sen. McCarthy's charges regarding Communists in the State Department. Sen. Jenner maintdined at the time this was a “whitewash.” He said. in his report, that is what Maryland voters considered it. Manv Democrats, as well as Republicans, who voted against Tydings were voting against the T'vdings report and showing their opposition to alleged Communist infiltration in the government. Sen Jenner maintained. Many close observers here agree with that conclusion. But Sen. Jenner goes. farther and dismisses the shenanigans of Sen. McCarthy and the Washington Times-Herald with what seems to be a “boys will. be boys” attitude regarding that kind of campaign.

$5000 Offer

FORMER Sen. Tydings, since reading the Jenner report, has offered the Indianian $5000 if he or anyone else can turn up the 51 card- : carrying Communists” which Sen. McCarthy said were in the State Department. Regarding ‘the fake photograph of Tydings with Communist Earl] Browder. which was labelled “composite” in small print, Sen. Jenner's report said: ‘As for the celebrated tabloid, some people seem to feel that its use violated an ideal. It is worth strenuous emphasis to say that the very essence of our political system implies that , tot only the issues, but the pent-up animosities the knowledge of facts hitherto concealed, are all brought forth in a campaign. By the discharge of all this the air is cleared, the people register- their decision at the polls, and the defeated party accepts the decision.”

THE EGYPTIAN government had protested the shut-off. Serag El Din said it was a pressure device intended to make the Egyptians more co-operative in handling military shipments by rail from Port Said to British camps in the zone,

FACE GOOS . . . By Frederick C. Othman

What Gals Won't Do for Beauty

WASHINGTON, Nov. T--Five of my vorite Congressmen are heading for Los Angeles and San Francisco to investigate the goos that beautiful ladies rub on their faces to make themselves more beautiful. I wish I could go along; I might be helpful. Some of the sweet-smelling fluids in the pretty jars have been known to

All T know is that once in Holiywood I had a date to interview one of movies’ most luscious redheads. She never showed up. -I got sore phoned her, and found her in tears. She'd just had .a permanent wave for her meeting with the press, she sobbed, and now look; her hair was green, with purple stripes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 Gen. Eisenhower may be able to sidestep flat political an-

swers on his current trip home

but unless he stops answering all mail, he'll almost have to answer th® big political question in January. The squeeze play put on first - from the quiet little New England town of Concord. N. H. There, about mid-January, . petitions entering Gen. lke ag a candidate in New Hampshire's presidential primary will be ‘filed in the state's two congressional districts. Only 50 names are required from each district, which makes it a cinch. But then; before the General's name goes on the ballot, state election officlals must get in touch with him. Their job is to tell him he's been nominated and to ask him whether he wishes to be entered or to withdraw,

ANOTHER item that has pained the Congressmen (all of whom have wives with handsomely curled hair) is ome particular brand of heatless permanent wave lotion. On most women

this makes beautiful curls, but on some it auses their hair to fall out. The gentlemen also hope to look into the

‘Thanks a Million’

MR. EDITOR: It is widespread knowledge we of the 28th Division are leaving Indiana. Some of the men are glad, but to the majority of these, Camp Atterbury has been the first camp they've ever been stationed for any length of time and the people outside are the first strangers they've met outside of their home towns. However, the majority of us leave ch a note of sadness because being stationed in various camps in other sections of the country, we know just how badly a soldier can be treated We've made many mistakes, such as last Thanksgiving Day when the surrounding communities, especially Indianapolis ended up with a lot of cold turkey because so many of-the men failed to show up. Buf this, on the whole, was not the soldiers’ fault, as many signed lists before they Knew their names Were appearing for such standbys as KP, guard and many other details, that even on a holiday in ‘the Army, have to be taken care of.

Then even other times, vour kindness was expressed. like the time my buddy and I were invited, right on the street, by a man and hiz wife, to spend the week-end at their home. Accepting his invitation was one of the highlights of my stay here as we were accepted as members of the house hold and nothing was too great. for those people to do for us. . I know that mv experiences were not isolated ones but it happened to many, many men in this Division. The Service Center was one of the finest i have ever heen in. including New York and many of the men met girl friends in Indiana who's status was soon changed from girl friend to wife. . I could possibly go on and on indefinitely enumerating the many goed things that took nlace during our stav but sinfe 1 would prob ably need the whole newspaper to do it, I'll just sign off, thanking vou from the bottom of my heart and saying, "God bless you all.” : One last request.

The nation is living in fear of another wag. But what iis young men should fear today is what is in store for us 20 vears from now re garding employment. Today, the men between the ages of 40 and 60 are walking the streets without a job because they tell them they ar® too old for the job. Some of these men worked in factories in the last war, putting out the toois of war and the factories were glad to get them Some of these men can put out more work than some young fellows or women, Go downtown and watch these forgotten men of yvester day and see how downtrodden they look because they have been let out of a job because of their age. I suggest, as a young man now in my thirties, that Congress introduce a bill which would compel these factories and other business places to give these men jobs of some kind. Believe me some day soon, we are going to have a real manpower shortage. If they did it in the last war, they can do it again. Bud Kaesel, 2450 Central Ave.
