THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Truman Dinner S OME TIME before leaving on his whistle-stop trip. President Truman held a hush-hush dinner f. with one of his most vigorous po litical enemies—Senator Brewster of Maine. The dinner was held not in the White House, but at the Carlton hotel. And it was the President who inspired the meeting. He and Brewster had worked together on the old Truman committe^, once had been warm friends. Chief result of the Carlton dinner was a challenge to test out the Fair Deal. Brewster is chairman oi the Republican senatorial campaign committee, and has the job of elec ting as many GOP senators as pos sible next November. Knowing this, Truman chal lenged: “I’ll lay my program out and you lay your program out, and we’ll have a show down.” Brewster agreed. Though they didn’t actually plan it that way, part of the showdown is coming right notv. Truman is now putting his policies before the public, while Brewster has been busy lining up speakers to refute him. He has already lined up Taft for a speech in Chicago, Wherry in Nebraska, Hickenlooper in Iowa, Morse in Oregon, and congressman Keefe in Wisconsin. Brewster says the battle, hatched over the dinner table at the Carlton hotel, will continue until November. Acheson’s Big Problem Before Secretary of State Acheson left for the big three conference, he had a report from the Orient indicating that French Indo-China was the most vital area in prevent ing the spread of communism. The report came from Ed Dickin son; ace trouble-shooter for ECA administrator Paul Hoffman. State department officials concur with Dickinson’s views. They believe that if commu nism once takes over Indo- China, then Burma, the Ma lays, Siam, India and Indonesia will also fall, making all of the orient a Russian sphere of in fluence. ■i Furthermore, it is believed that this is Moscow’s chief goal. For» the Red a^my today lacks %il, gasoline, tin and rubber. All these things are to be obtained in the wealthy area lying south of French Indo-China. That is why Indo-China is otic of the toughest jobs facing Achesqn and also why he met it head-on fol lowing his arrival in Paris. Here are some of the factors he still has to contend with: j 1. THE P.S. SENATE IS HOT AND BOTHERED ABOUT CHINA, but not Indo-China. This may be because of the well-heeled Kuom- intang lobby which has spent thou sands in Washington influencing congress. Whatever the cause, when Acheson publicly proposed aid to Indo-China, he was rebuked next day by Senator George of Georgia who wanted to know who was going to vote the money. 2. THE FRENCH ARE A HAND ICAP. French administration of Indo-China in the past has been inefficient, corrupt, Imperialistic. The natives don’t ‘like them, shoot down French troops at night if they stray a mile or so outside of towns. 3. INDO-CHINA IS SPLIT AMONG VARIOUS FACTIONS. There is no love for Emperor Bao Dai, one time Paris playboy, whom the French have set up as ruler. There is also bitter hatred for guerrilla leader Ho Chi Minh and his scorched-earth policy. Possibly the United States could handle the situation bet ter without the French. But that would eliminate one of onr old est allies. Thus Acheson has the senate to buck on one hand, the French on the other and the Communists all around them. John L. Lewis Purge John L. Lewis, Republican, lias been busy backstage trying to purge a Democrat, Rep Anthony Cavalcante of Pennsylvania. Lewis is.sore because Cavalcante demand ed that district four of the United Mine Workers have local autonomy and the right to elect their own officers. Cavalcante used to be a member of this local, has an excel-, lent record in congress, and will be supported by many rank-and- file mipers. However, Lewis’ strong- arm men are doing their best to elect Edward Dumbault, Cavat cante’s opponent. Nsw England Slump The President’s council of eco nomic advisers, while pleased with sent the recent ipiemployment drop, are ftill deeply concerned over the sit uation in the New England area. Throughout the nation unemploy ment now averages 5-V4 per cent, but in New England it averages around 12 per cent. As a result the council will soon set *up a task force of prominent businessmen and economists with instructions to make a thorough and inten sive study of the causes and cures. -WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS U.S. Orders Expulsion of 22 Czech Officials; Observers Say Political Picture Becoming Foggy, Unreal (EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these tolnmns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) CZECHS: U. S. Hits Back Truman Speaks The United States has ordered expulsion of 22 Czech officials from this country in retaliation of recent i anti-American conduct by that i country. The U.S. note, which hinted at future diplomatic blows against the Kremlin - controlled government, charged Czechoslovakia “will not or cannot” conduct itself decently, with other nations. - .Diplomats considered the U. S. note strongly worded and saw the action as clear evidence of the disintegration of relations between the two countries. It reduced the number of Czech officials in this country from 33 to 22. The state department note said in part: “Since the United States cannot conduct normal diplomatic and con sular functions in Czechoslovakia and since the relations between the two governments are being re stricted in scope through the actions of the Czechoslovakia government, the latter has been requested within a reasonable time to close Its con sulates in Cleveland and Pittsburgh and to make a reduction in its of ficial personnel in the United States similar to that demanded of the United States in Czechoslovakia.” The expulsion order means the Czech government will have 11 rep resentatives in this country, all pos sibly in Washington. The order does not include that country’s represen tation to the United Nations. A-BOtyBS: Nearer to Europe Millions who have had the jitters since the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan received a new jolt when it was announced U. S. military officials are considering placing atomic weapons within easy reach of this country’s European allies. Such a move indicates that this country would use the atomic bomb in case of war and has no immedi ate plans of trying to get it out lawed, observers said. Some congressmen called the idea terrible and predicted 98 per pent of the legislators wouk} rebel if it should be presented to them. Observers agreed that initial con gressional reaction to the idea indi cates it will have tough sledding if it reaches Capitol Hill. Military authorities were explor ing the highly controversial pro posal and possible safeguards against having the bombs fall into enemy hands. Before atomic weapons could be made available to European mem bers of the Atlantic pact, however, congress would have to amend the atomic energy act. SANDERS: Farms for Living Dr. Hermann N. Sapders, de prived of his right to practice medi cine in New Hampshire following his mercy slaying trial, has turned to tilling the soil for his neighbors to support his wife and three daugh ters. Some observers, however, felt he would be reinstated when the state medical board let him apply on June 19. Meanwhile, the ddctor was supply ing his own tractor for the farm work and moved about from job to job on a trailer attached to his auto mobile. Neighbors said his rate of pay for plowing and cultivating farm lands of the area was $4 an hour. NATIONALISTS: Repulse Landing The Communists tried a practice landing on Chushan island 100 miles southwest of Shanghai but were re pulsed, the Chinese Nationalists report. The announcement caused specu lation that the invasion of Formosa itself, protected by 100 miles -of open seas from the mainland, was about to begin. Nationalists sources said they re gard a Red “inside job” as great a threat as an actual invasion. A Communist fifth column on For mosa had been broken up, it was reported, but many of the Red agents .remained at large. The Nationalists had nothing to say of their raid a few days earlier on villages on the mainland, 50 miles southwest of Chushan. WHISKEY: Big Business The whiskey industry has long been big business, but now it comes to light that moonshiners apparently are producing more whiskey in the United States than the legal, dis tilleries. A spokesman for the industry said moonshine stills seized by state and federal officials in 1949 had a daily productive capacty of 97,709 gallons more than the nation’s dis tilleries. This is a part of the “10 acres of citizens” that turned out to hear President Truman on his “non-political” tour across the -nation. He is pictured speaking from the rear platform of his special train. POLITICS: Foggy and Unreal RUSSIA: Wants Hot War Most Americans, who cannot make themselves believe Russia is ready or wants a war, were being told otherwise by European diplo mats. _ - In Europe the belief is growing that Russia now accepts a shooting war as the alternative to the cold war in winning world supremacy. Until recently experts believed European security could be viewed in terms of political activity and economic pressure. A recent poll of European diplo mats, however, reveals that they m'of now believe the political bureau the Russian Communist party soon will be willing to fight a hot war in pursuit of its aims. One reliable source declares the Russians would be “ready” to fight in 1952. By then the Soviet Union will have a stockpile of atomic bombs and numerical superiority in ground and air forces. The Russians are estimated to have 20,000 first-line planes in oper ation at the present time. TTiat would indicate Russia may be able to fight a “hot war” on a moment’s notice. It is generally accepted by observers that the atomic bomb is already in production behind the iron curtain. Observers are beginning to shout that the current political scene is becoming so foggy and unreal that the general public is confused. Per haps it is the observers themselves who are confused. Regardless of their shouts, how ever, President Truman concluded his tour across the nation making as many as 16 speeches a day while congress tied itself into knots on one issue after another. As if that wasn’t enough, the Dixiecrats had mapped plans of winning the Solid South and were screaming louder than anyone about oeficit spending and creeping socialism. The President has been making speeches pointing out: (1) The low er brackets can double their in- cbme into “real” money within the next 10 years, possibly as high as $4,000 a year; (2) Republican changes that the Fair Deal is lead ing to socialism are “silly non sense;” (3) TVA power develop ments “will keep^us the most pow erful nation in the world”; (4) The nation’s output of goods and services can be lifted to 350 billion dollars by 1960. f ‘( In the East, meanwhile, the house cut the “one-package” appropria tions bill by an estimated one bil lion dollars and sent the measure to the senate. The vote, 362 to 21 was consid ered a big defeat for Truman. Democrats joined Republicans in making the cut. In the South, publisher J. Oliver Emmerick told the third annual States’ Rights convention that “our task is to sell the people against deficit spending, creeping social ism and the totalitarian state.” They seek to weld the south into the nation’s most powerful minority, even so strong they could become the national balance of political power. And, from the looks of things, they may succeed in crea ting another congress very hostile to Truman. GERMANY: When A Treaty? Germany may never get a peace treaty, some political observers have hinted. The hints were being made after America, Britain and France announced they will keep troops in Germany and refuse to write a peace treaty as long as Russian policy divides the country. For that reason there may never be a treaty, observers report. Rus sia is not likely to change her policy because it would be a political de feat. The Soviet is only interested in victories. The western powers said: “In view of the continued refusal of the Soviet government to permit inhabitants of their zone of occupa tion to rejoin their fellow country men in a democratic and unified Germany, it has not been possible, and will not be as long as this Soviet policy persists, to proceed to conclusion of a treaty of peace with Germany. “In *the present situation of Europe supreme authority must re main in the hands of the Allied powers.” The three powers, howevei* have agreed to the gradual modification of many controls to which western Germany is still subject. Shadows Republicans may have talked down President Truman’s “nonpoli tical trip,” but they, kept an eye on him just the same. The eye was Victor Johnson, ex ecutive secretary of the Republican senatorial campaign committee. He shadowed the President across the cation by chartered plane. and showed up at all the chief execu tive’s important speeches. BARUCH: ■ Stop inflation Since the war all classes of Amer icans—farmers, laborers, business men, office workers—have worried about inflation. For all of them the dollar buys less than before the war. Of late, however, there has been little said or done about the inflation spiral. Now Bernard M. Baruch,' adviser to Presidents for 40 years, has taken another swing at inflation. “Inflation is the cold war we’ Americans are waging against our selves,” the statesman warns. “Inflation affects the integrity of all our defenses, both moral and military, national and Internation al,” he added. “This continuing spiral doesn’t necessarily mean trouble at the moment, but it means trouble phead if we don’t put a stop to it. Sowewhere along the line, the balloon always bursts.” The national situation as he sees it finds the country balancing pre cariously between employment and the maintenance of a'high standard of living, and unemployment and in flation. We must work out a program to curb inflation that will be fair to everyone, he said. No one will like it, but we must do it and soon. STATE DEPARTMENT: McCarthy Lied The state department had waded into the McCarthy spy hunt of the department’s personnel by issuing a white pape* that hints that the senator deliberately lied. Assistant Secretary Edward W. Barrett sent 500 newspaper editors an eight-page analysis of Mc Carthy’s speech which charged the department was overrun by Com munists. Barrett’s reply contained a point- by-point denial. While it did not as sert in so many words that Mc Carthy was lying, the document re peatedly sought to show that he uttered “misstatements” and “in accuracies.” Meanwhile, the loyalty files, re cently turned over to the senate foreign-relations subcommitte in vestigating communism in govern ment posts, were being studied. Senator Tydings, chairman of the committee, said he would make a full report to the people on the contents of the files. Eighty-one cases were being in- vystigated. Porting? PASSPORT PICKED UP . . .
