‘Washington Calling — Scandals, Gregd Could Cost U. S. World Position
By Seripps-Howard Newspapers
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1—Washington scandals and
blunders are outward signs of inner disintegration of”
Democratic administration.
Shaky, uncertain condition of federal government, beset, by thieving, political conniving, greed, general drop in moral standards, general loss of confidence in all three
branches, could be as significant to free world as Russian
threat.
It will be more than a year Before things can get better. Next 12 months will be filled with chaos of presi-
dential élection. early 1953.
New government can’t take over till
We could lose world leadership we now hold, in that
tinte.. Major danger spots:
%
We've been spending billions, have vast public debt,
sky-high taxes, yet bi-partisan report from Congress says {WN we're nowhere near ready to defend ourselves.
we don’t have the airpower we thought we had; are far behind schedule on .rearmament; have had to “buy” cooperation of some armament and tool m#@nufacturers by pledging big profits. Frrors of judgment and timing in Korea, where we're fighting bloody and unpoplar war, have been followed by timidity and petulance in high government circles, efforts to blame those who write about it, to shut off bmore criticism - with “security” order muzzling press. ‘Confusion growing out of pressure for rearmament plus talk of disarmament in secret Big Four meeting could bring about too-rapid removal of props now sustaining badly in- - flated economy-—and sharp recession.
Caudle to Testify
LOOK. FOR more headlines when Theron. Lamar Caudle testifies again next week. Sensation - packed hearings before King committee this week-—oil well commissions, wholesale mink coats, airplane sale commissions, cut-rate or ee autos—have not. used up committee ammunition. “Testimony next. week will not be an anti-climax,” one staff member predicts. For one thing: Caudle’s ties —business and social — with Frank Nathan of Miaml, former Pittsburgh gambler and racketeer—are still to be brought. out. Nathan has been questioned privately by committee. He'll be called: next week at public sessions. There'll be more testimony about Caudle plane trips, association with persons having tax troubles. Note: Top officials in Internal Revenue are having to read daily transcripts of King committee testimony over each other’s shoulders. When investigation started, bureau was getting six copies a day. It cost several hundred
_ dollars. So order was cut to one
copy, to save money.
Tongues Wagging
Attorney General J. Howard McGrath and Clark Clifford, potent Washington attorney, had tongues wagging this week. McGrath went to Clifford's law office for the meeting. Clifford, one-time White House aid, had reputation of being brains of the administration. Washington wonders whether McGrath sought legal advice, or politi-
cal; whether Clifford might take over in Department of Justice.
Suggests Reforms IT WILL TAKE four reforms —at least—to remove Internal "Revenue from political control, National Civil Service League says. It will ask Congress, in Janunary, to take these steps: ONE—Eliminate Senate con-
“firmation for the 64 collectors.
TWO—Give officials at op-" erating levels authority to make on-the-spot decisions. THREE—Set up a. “proper chain of command’ from Washington te field offices. OUR — Consolidate Internal Revenue Bureau and Customs Bureau, for “more efficient treasury operation.” * James R. Watson, league's executive secretary, says without these safeguards, collectors will be no more immune from politics than country’s 22,000 “presidential postmasters.” Latter are technically under Civil Service, can still be selected through patronage channels “with almost complete disregard to merit system.”
lke Backers Happy
“IKE FOR PRESIDENT” backers were delighted — and surprised—by House Republican Leader Joseph Martin's statement in Istanbul that Gen. Eisenhower will be nominated and elected. Massachusetts’ two Senators —Lodge and Saltonstall—are leaders in Eisenhower cam- ° paign. But Martin, also from Massachusetts has been counted in Sen. Taft's corner— largely because of his devotion to Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who’s rated pro-Taft, anti-Eisenhower. Some House members close to Martin think there's something wrong with the picture— r if Joe really sald ft. Martin, Speaker in 80th Congress, might be pushed aside it Taft wins, because of Istanbul statement. Next-ranking House Republican, Rep.
Charles A. Halleck, is for Taft;

Boyle Angle
LATEST rumor on Boyle's resignation as national c¢hairman has it that President Truman was told Boyle had been retained by R. Stanley Dollar to fight government in Americah President Lines case; had carried on his work for Dollar, While chairman. « Questions on Dollar case were asked during closing days of expenditures committee's RFC investigation. Merl Young was asked about his relations with Dolar, mentioned “talking a lot” with him. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R. Me.) in a Senate speech suggested Dan J. Hanlon, former law partner of Boyle, should be questioned on his part in the case. Boyle resigned soon after,

Chinese Reds Blast With All Propaganda Barrels
To Convince People UN Took a Licking i
Compiled From the Wire Services
While their delegates at Panmunjom argue -about a cease-fire, the Communists are convincing a great many Chinese that they already have won the Korean victory and that the United Nations forces are suing for peace,’ So writes Albert Ravenhoit, Times special correspondent, from Hong Kong. Information reaching that British colony suggests that only a tiny minority of the Chinese people—probably less than 1 per cent — have a realistic understanding of Korean developments. Although many Chinese mistrust their Communist-con-trolled news sources, they are overwhelmed by the continuing skillful Red propaganda. The Voice of America and the British Broadcasting Corp. seem to make only a minor impression. This is due partly to the shortage of radio receivers to which people dare listen. - The Chinese Communists hammer on these themes: ONE-—The United States started ‘the aggressive war in Korea” after America and its henchman, Chiang Kai-shek .were driven from the Chinese mainland, because they
wanted .to regain an Asian
foothold. _ TWO-—The Chinese Communists only entered the : Korean war when U, S. forces reached the Yalu River and were preparing to invade Manchuria. THREE—The “Chinese people’s volunteers and the Korean people's army’ now have driven the “American aggressors” back to the area of the 38th Parallel. They defeated
the United Nations summer and autumn offensives. FOUR—Peace is possible whenever America really wants “it and “will quit its
hopeless expenditure . of lives and wealth. FIVE—While the United Nations dre bleeding themselves - in Korea Communist China is steadily gaining mil-
itary and economic strength, ..
These themes are carried daily in the Communist-con-trolled press, on the radio and in speeches in plays and movies and even in homes, One of the most effective
« techniques is the new “patri-
otic pact movement” in which a community drafts a state-
. ment of its thoughts on the
subject and everyone is encouraged to sign. An {illiterate Chinese peasant may not be able, to read what he signs, but since he usually only writes his name a few times every year he remembers the reason he did so.

The. great "effort to channel energies developed by this propaganda is known under the slogan: “Resist American Aggression and Aid the Korean Struggle.” It is directed largely by the “Chinese Peace Commit-
Few Dare to Listen
¥ The relatively isolated individual Chinese who dare listen to foreign radio broadcasts are usually discouraged from telling any other version.of Korean developments, even to their neighbors. Reports of heavy Chinese Communist casualties in Korea apparently reach only a very few nonofficial Chinese civilians. Even foreigners who have felt free to listen to for-
eign radio broadcasts are sur- .
prised when they arrive at Hong Kong from Communist China and read the local papers carrying American, British and French wire-serv-ice accounts of the Korean War. The basic skepticism of most of the older Chinese apparently is tempering their response to the Communist version of Korean events. But among young Chifiese the Korean War ‘is used by the Communists to mobilize patriotic sentiments
against a foreigmer—the..
United States. Unless more effective meth ods are devised, indications are that the United Nations will reap insignificant psychological returns ‘ashong the Chinese people as a result of stop
ping the Communists in Ko- _

Germany
SOVIET GERMANY revamped its- industrial organization to ease the shock of a Western embargo wheih serithreatens the Eastern state's Russian-model five-year plan, it was reported in Berlin, Western cials halted all legal trade with Red Germany Friday midnight, hoping to force the Communists to end their “little blockade” of Berlin. The embargo is expected
“to cost the Reds $5 million
dollars worth of goods a month, including many items vital to the five-year plan, Informed sources said the Communist regime had voted to strip Heavy Industry Minister Fritz Selbmann of his authority over Red Germany's coal, chemical and construction industries, and to create a special new cabinet department to control them. They said Red Vice: Premier Walter Ulbricht, chief of the five-year plan, had sharply critized Mr. Selbmann for failing to foresee and prepare for the Western crackdown,

By The Times Staff
“ DEMOCRATIC City Hall administration will lose year-long fight to make permanent, merit system promotions in Police Department before Republicans take
over Jan, 1.
One of last major efforts of former Mayor Bayt before he resigned to become judge of Municipal-Court 3 week ago was to push promotions through immediately. As one of last official acts, Judge Bayt warned Safety Board and police officials to resist “threats and coercion” designed to delay promotions until GOP Mayor-
elect Alex Clark takes office.
However, latest word is that Police Chief O'Neal will not ask for promotions from police board of four captains who must first recommend them.
Explained Chief O'Neal, who placed by GOP administration:
k expected to be re“ve got to go along.
I don’t want to make anybody mad before Jan. 1.” This will give Mayor-elect Clark and his new chief
wide-open opportunity to set up whole system of merit pro‘motions from rookie patrolmen to high-ranking officers under new chief,
They Like lke
LOOK FOR most of key Republican,leaders in new City Hall administration after Jan. 1 to begin lining up behind movement to draft Gen. Dwight Eisenhower for the GOP presidential nomination, Although Mayor-elect Clark has declined to commit himself personally on presidential candidates, most of his cam-. paign associates have lined up with the Eisenhower forces. If City Hall comes out openly for Gen. Eisenhower as a unit, it will be bucking powerful GOP forces in State Republican machine which has committed its support for U. 8. Sen. Robert Taft as the GOP presidential nominee,
Bingo Raids? LAW ENFORCEMENT officials have taken one more move in diplomatic, behindscenes campaign to stop illegal bingo games by some church groups. It was a polite letter, signed by State Police Supt. Arthur Thurston and Marion County Sheriff Dan Smith, calling attention of Catholic Church oficials that .there have been complaints on bingo at “some parish auditoriums.” : Letters was ‘sent to Arch-
bishop Paul Schulte, asking his - co-operation in stopping bingo
games at churches ‘since they are against the law.” Archbishop merely sent copies of letter to all parishes without comment and made no official answer to law enforcement officials. It was second diplomatic move on part of law enforce-
ment officials for compliance
with law on illegal games of chance, : Earlier, Sheriff Smith and Prosecutor Frank Fairchild tssued public warning that “some church and fraternal groups” had failed to cooperate in all-out anti-gam-bling enforcement program,
enforcement crackdown if voluntary co-operation were not forthcoming. Warning had little effect, however. Bingo games continued. Sponsoring church groups took position such aetivity is. not illegal and not prohibited by church law: Latest letter to archbishop in effect gives official notice that bingo is illegal . ... raids may follow. :
Judging the Judge HEAVY penalties imposed on law violators hy newly appointed Judge Phil. Bayt (exMayor) in Municipal Court is bringing usual grist of sarcastic corridor smalltalk and courtroom innuendos. Gist of comment is that new judge is"not fully informedsen police court law in all instances. One veteran lawyer sald he will ask continuance of all-his cases ‘for couple of weeks until new judge learns job.” Another jibed that he'll skip practice in that court .., , “I don't want to create scene in courtroom by explaining law to judge,” he said.
