Republican Letter Indicates
Leaders See “Fight Ahead”
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Republican senators’
concerned may not like this, but a GOP letter sent
out in Ohip to solicit campaign contributions;
stressed the angle that there would be ‘“a fight
ahead” to elect a Republican majority in the Sen_
ate next November.
Thirty-two senators are to be elected. Fourteen !
are Democrats, 1} of them are from the Solidl
South. That leaves 18 Republicans needing re-.
election for the GOP to maintain its 51-45 Skenate
majority. A loss of four seats would give the Dem
oecrats control, 49-47. ‘
The Republican fund-soliciting letter admitted 1
“there is great doubt that the Republican senators
from Oklahoma and Kentucky can be re-elected.”
‘They are oil-millionaire E. H. Moore and ex-Gov=
ernor John Sherman Cooper, respectively. Other
contests the Republicans expressed concern about
are for the seats now held by Chapman Revercomb
of West Virginia, Edward V. Robertson of Wyo
ming and Guy Cordon of Oregon.
. The honor of pulling the worst pun in this ses
sion of Congress probably goes to Senator Ralph
Flanders’ of Vermont, It was inspired by GOP Sén
ator Harry Cain of Oregon, who has caused his
party’s leadership all kinds of trouble over new
housing legislation. When explosive Senator /Charles
W. Tobey of New Hampshire had heard all of Cain’s
chatter that he could stand, he rose wrathfully to
demand, “Are we going to commit hara-kiri? I ask
you, sir!” Whereugon Flanders broke in with, “Is
it hara-kiri, or Harry Cain?”
WASHINGTON BRASS DOESN'T
KNOW, EITHER
~ Opinion of top Washington officials is divided
three ways on prospects of war with Russia. Mili
tary leaders are inclined to fear the worst, for it's
their business to be prepared for any emergency.
In the middle are officials who fear that we may
blunder into a war through some action of Yugo
slavia hotheads or others that Russia will be un_
able to control. At the other extreme are those who
feel that Russia doesn’'t want a war and that Mos
cow has enough disciplinary control over her satel
lites to make sure that the USSR doesn’t become
involved in a war if she doesn’t want one. What all
this adds up to is that nobody really knows.
~Washington officers of the Federation of Amer
iean (atomic) Scientists think they have evidence
to prove that Senator Arthur Vandenberg really
wants the Republican presidential nomination.
‘g‘hey' find their evidence in Vandenberg's support
for a two-year, instead of a five-year, appointment
for David E. Lilienthal as chairman of the Atomic
Eneréi‘ Commission. The scientists say it’s because
Vandenberg docsn’t want to antagonize Taft. They
reason that, if Taft can’'t get the nomination for
himself, he will throw his support to Vandenberg
—rather than Dewey or Stassen—provided Vanden
berg doesn’t oppose Taft too much on the Lilien
thal issue. ‘
CONDON CASE MAY BE ABANDONED
2 New Jersey Rep. J. Parnell Thomas's Un-Am
-1;311 Activities Committee is showing signs of
wanting to drop its investigation of Dr. Edward U.
Condon, director of the U. S. Bureau of Standards.
The committee originally charged Condon with
Jeing the weakest link in atomic security, but the
‘committee has delayed its hearings indefinitely.
ijr. C;cfmdon‘s request that the FBI report on his
lpyalty investigation be made public now robs the
c‘ommi@tee of its most potent issue.
. This: letter has already been examined by the
Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. If, after rais
i).igv such a fuss about getting the letter, it should
be made public and show nothing to incriminate
Dr. Condon, the Thomas Committee would be left
without a case.
“Reporters thought they had discovered a new
hideout for top administration officials and rthem
bers of Congress. A United Press newsman scooped
tlge town by catching Secretary of State Marshall,
Sgnators Vandenberg and Conally emerging from
the Blair House late one night. Next day, Marshall
admitted he had been meeting congressmen there
ier quite a while. “I don’t describe every move-.
kzfl to spokesmen,” said Marshall. “I still have a
PAEW confidential moments in life.” A
UN’S ISRAEL PROBLEM PERSISTS,
BUT NOW IT IS EVEN MORE ACUTE
The drama connected with the birth
of the State of Isreal has been highlight
ed at the expense of the tragedy.
An independent Jewish government
exista in Palestine for the first time in
2000 vears. Tts independence is being pur
chased in blood-—a price which many na
tions, including our own have paid for
libertv. But the price is still exorbitant
and unnecessary .
I The Jews are brave, and their position
is honorable. The new government of Is
rael has adopted the only positive policy
‘toward the Palestine problem. Its people
}were promised independence by the
League of Nations and voted independ
ence by the United Nations. However
much the UN may seem to have reneged
its part of the bargain, it is still on record
as favoring partition. :
Since the UN has not raised a hand to
enforce its vote, Israel is carrying out the
‘decision of that vote, It is fighting as its
ancestors fought in the days when man
Ik’ne\v no better means than war for set
‘tling disputes over territorial and sover
eign rights. Man is supposed to have a
‘higher =ocial morality, if not more wis
dom, thad he did in those days. But when
an occasion arises to put those moral
forces into action ,the world’s govern
ments don’t seem to have profited by the
lessons of the past 20 centuries.
Qo Palestine, the Holy Land of three
religions and the battleground of cen
turies is once again the scene of war. It
is a cruel, unjust war. And itisa 'war
which the United Nations has known was
as inevitabhle as tomorrow’s sunrise unless
it took action. But the organization did not
act—not because it was unable to, but be
cause it was unwilling.
The problem now facing the UN is more
acute, but it is unchanged. The UN must
still reach agreement on sending troops to
enforce a truce, not only to end the pre
sent war, but also to keep it from spread
ing. For once let the United States or Rus
sia or any other major power act unilat
erally in Palestine, outside the UN’s
framework, and the ingredients of an ex
plsoive world situation will be assembled.
The members of the United Nations
Imust see what has to be done. Yet the
special session of the General Assembly
merely sent Palestine a truce commission,
appointed a municipal commissioner for
Jerusalem, approved a mediator, and then
ladjourned for good.
" Thus the war continues. And as long
as it does, each Arab and Jewish casualty
will be a fresh reproach to the UN for its
feeble and fumbling action. In particular,
those casualties will be a reproach to the
United States for its part in the Palestine
crisis.
The American government put through
partition, then renounced it, and finally.
with the Brit:sh mandate’s end immediate
ly recognized the new independent Jew
ish- government which a few hours before
it had so strongly opposed creating to
day’s confusion and slaughter.
BIPARTISAN LABOR POLICY
AFL President Green has turned down
Paul Hoffman’s request that an AFL re
presentative serve with a CIO member as
administrative advisers to the Economic
Co-Operation Administration on labor
matters. Mr. Green gave as grounds for his
refusal the ClO’s affiliation with the
World Federation of Trade Unions, which
is said to be Communist-controlled.
Mr. Green has a point, but does it out
weigh the advisability of labor co-opera
;tion in this matter? The ClO’s affiliation
iwith the WFTU is not necessarily perma
nent. Meanwhile, the Marshall Plan has
official Cllo support.
If we need bipartisan political policy on
European aid, it seems equally necessary
to have bipartisan labor backing. Com
munism’s hold is strongest in the field of
labor. It might well weaken that hold it
Europe's workers were shown that Am
erican labor stand united in support of
freedom and recovery. ‘
The Ttalian election means a rebirth of
democracy in Europe. The victory of de
mocratic forces is a great setback to Rus
sia and Communist_plans for ezpansion—
Victe premier Giuseppe Saragat of Italy.

The United States may enjoy several
years of businmess prosperity unless the war
scare grows. —Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, presi
dential economic adviser.

the winning of the West, opéens
Wednesday at the Palace Thea
tre with two of today’s most
provocative screen personaliffes®
as its stars, The “new” Victor
Mature, whose exciting film ca
reer entered a new phase when
he recéntly took his place among
filmdom’s top dramatic stars
with his brilliant portrayal in
*“Kiss of Death,” is coupled with
Coleen Gray, who made her sen
sational movie debut opposite
him in “Kiss of Death,” was
next romantically teamed with
Tyrone Power in “Nightmare
Alley,” and now returns to Ma
ture in their current film.
‘ For Mature, Miss .Gray and an
outstanding supporfing cast
headed by Glenn Langan and
{ Reginald Gardiner, *“Fury At
!\ Furnace Creek” provides a stun
ning vehicle, packed with rous
g action, thrilling spectacle,
drama and romance, Set in the
Apache country of 1880, it tells
the story of unscrupulous silver
interests that provoke a mas-?
sacre as a means of opening up
indian lands to exploitation. A
| drama written' in the fury and
flames of vengeance, it tells of
two brothers who, torn by a
deep conflict, are nevertheless
unlied in a battle to clear the
name of their father, a U, S.
Cavalry officer, who had been
accused as responsible for the
massacre of a cavalry troop and
the historic burning of Fort
Furnace Creek,
Mature plays the role of the
’ adventurer, Cash Blackwell;
Langan is his hostile brother,
IRut‘e; Coleen Gray is the wait
ress in a local hash house who,
drawn into the brothers’ adven
’ture, finds her loyalties torn be=
tween them; Reginald Gardiner
is the broken ex-cavalry officer
‘who holds the secret of the mas=
sacre, while Albert Dekker ap
apperas as head of the crooked
Isilver syndicate.
To film the spectacular scenes
of the Apache attacks, the wag
on-train massacre, the last stand
at Fort Furpace Creek and
others, Director Bruce Humber

mar took a company of 150 into
the picturesque “badlands” of
southern Utah, and there, in
dust several inches deep and
with a sun pouring down at 115
degrees, staged the story’s out

800 Indians, 350 cowpunchers, a
train of 55 covered wagons, 900
horses and a camera earavan of
60 cars and trucks. Hundreds of
miles of mesas, buttes, canyons
and desert in a country that no
