V.- THE REPUBLICAN PARTY 4
: By JOHN GUNTHER
j Written for NEA Service
Let us burrow further into the
Republican Party. An ‘“issue,”
according to the dictionary, is a
point or question in dispute. To a
politician, an issue is something
to win on, keep from losing on,
bleat about or try to muffle. As
the Republicans sec the 1952 race,
the main issues will be the follow
in~
’. Korea.
"“he main emphasis here, most
R:oublicans say, will not be so
muczh on the fact that the United
States in fighting in Korea, but
on how this tragic war is being
fought. There will be questions,
vigorously salted, on why Mr.
Truman did not consult Congress
before orcdering American forces
into action, why there has been
no declaration of war, why Mac-
Aghur was fired, and why (as
the Republicans put it) we got
entangled and enmeshed in truce
negotiations which gave the enemy
that most precious of commodities,
tir~.
“The Korean war is one which
we refuse to try.te win, and at
the same time one in which we
cannot afford to get licked,” is one
Renublican aphorism. .
If the truce negotiations suc
ceed and the United States gets
out of Korea with honor before
. November, it will immeasurably
Jhelp the Democrats. Everybody
in the country wants the boys,
home and in warm socks as soon |
as possible. !
- - . :
Republican attitudes on Korea
are sharply, bafflingly, divided |
. within the party. Some Republi-'
. cans ask for a more “positive”
Asiatic policy—while at the same
i time cutting military appropria
# tions. Some plead for peace—
and at the same time want to
" bomb China and encourage
. Chiang Kia-shek into unpredict
able adventures on the China
mainland. Some call Truman a
warmonger—and at the same time
ress for an advance beyond the
f galu. ¢ [
i 2. Corruption.
\' This issue has lost some of its
sting since Mr. Truman withdrew
“ from the presidential race. Who
f ever gets the Democratic momi
i mation ecan dissocate himself
from what went on in the way of
mink coats, not - deep enough
freezers, and the bleary internal
revenue scandals. |
If Truman were a candidate,
the corruption issue would be hot
ter. But it's hard to blame Ste
venson of Kefauver for what
happened under Truman any
more than you could fairly blame |
Coolidge, who was Harding’s vice
gresident, for what happened un
er Harding.
Democratie replies to the cor
ruption charge are: (A) Republi
cans in the past have been cor
rupt on a much more grandiose
and fancy scale; (B) Not many
geoplc care. In the scandalous
ut immortal words of Will
Rogers, “It’s awful hard to get
people interested in corruption
unless they get some of it.”
3. Communism,
In high government places, as
evidenced by the Hiss affair in
pariticular, the Republican high
command can make great play
not merely with alleged instances
of Communist infiltration into
government, but with Truman’s
<.'and attempt to dismiss the
whole acrid problem as a ‘“red
herring.”
Sen. Joe McCarthy, for all the
noise he has made, has never
succeeded in proving that there
was one Communist Party card
among the 81 cases of State De
partment. Reds he put into the
Congressiomal Record. Neverthe
less his charges will be rehashed
in thig campaign. Many Repub
licans deplore McCarthy's smear
tactics, but they think he has per
formed a public service in arous
ing the country at large to the
Communist menace, which is real
and formidable.
4. Foreign policy in general.
If Taft is nominated his iso
lationist record will be fair game.
And though his campaigning to
Jate indicates he won't flinch
from defending it, there’'s a fair

chance that, post = convention, he
would add a little more interna
tionalist flavor to his views to
| broadgn his November appeal.
If Eisenhower is the nominee,
the Democrats may attack him as
a turncoat if he protests too loud
ly against Administration foreign
lpolxcy. They’ll say he was one
of .the major executors of that
pp]lcy. But the general is un
h_kcly to be deterred by this.
Since returning to America, he
has already made clear he feels
no personal responsibility for the
Democratic program. He has
sailed into Administration con
duct in China, and belabored the
opposition on two broad counts—
cost and excessive secrecy. He
accepts the program’s basic con
cept, that the free world must be
defended, but says all Americans
must accept it regardless of party.
5. High prices, high taxes. |
“The Democrats,” say the Re
publicans, “are spending the
country into bankruptcy.” For
the first time, according to the
GOP, the average man in the
street is acutely conscious of be
ing hurt by taxes; he doesn’t think
merely in terms of take-home pay,
but has been forced to figure out
just what taxes cost him, and they
cost plenty. A pledge of lower
taxes will, of course, be a para
mount item in the Republican
platform. I have mentioned the
Democratic answer to this earlier
in this series. |
6. Socialism, planned economy,
and the purported baleful design |
of the Truman administration to
“socialize” the United States.
National health insurance, fed
eral aid to education, the Brannan
Plan—all these will be sub-issuses
within the dominating issue,
namely whether or not the U. S. i
is to continue to be devoted to
the free enterprise system. ‘
7. Finally, and above all, the |
drastic need for change. The
Democratic reply to this is to say ’
that, according to the Republi
cans, the country “needed a
change” just as much in 1948, but
that Dewey got beaten anyway.
Tomorrow: The GOP right-and
left cleavage. |

Mr., Beacham stated in his re
port that the Water and Sewer
Department had put a water line
on a portion of the Alps Road
from the Atlanta Highway to
serve the new drive-in theater,
which is under construction. An
extended main has been put on
Plum Nelly Road. Mr. Beacham
said that since both of these lines
are outside the city limits, they
were installed under a contract
basis whereby the owners guaran
teed the City an 8% return.
A water line has also been in
stalled on Arch street between
Broad and Poplar streets,
According to Mr. Beacham, the
forces have recently been engaged
in a cooperative program with the
University installing gas mains on
the University campus. The total
cost of this work is being borne
by the University and will be
beneficial to the city since it will
eliminate a number of coal hand
fire furnaces which in turn will
reduce smoke during the cold'
months. ;

Secret City Beneath Foggy City
Supposed To Be Darkesi Secret
By FERN RICE | the whole British Army, I'd bet,”
NEA Special Correspondent said one man to another.
..LONDON —The second city of
London, which has been growing
beneath England’s capital for the
past year and a half, is supposed
to be a big secret.
..But like most secrets, nearly
everyone knows about this one.
The catch is that no eofficial will
say “yes,” “no,” or even “maybe”.
..What actually seems to be going
on is the building of an atom
ic proof citadel, 45 feet beneath
London Syreets, Seven shafts have
been excavated, all of which will
be linked by tunnels and possibly
by electriec trains.
. .Supposedly there are thousands
of rooms being constructed, com
plete with power generators, food
storage facilities, telephones ard
all the equipment necessary to
permit the various ministries and
civil servants to carry on govern
ment in case of atomic attack..
* * *
Londoners are now well aware
of the citadel used by Prime Min
ister Churchill and government
leaders during the Battle of Brit
ain. It accommodated 2000 peo
ple and was built of steel and con
crete.
It was called the Rotunda and
still exists and has been main
tained. In another part of London.
about three miles from White
hall, is a World War II deep air
raid shelter and which some guess
will be included in the under
ground network.
Not far from Parliament Square
and Big Ben, some of the most
impressive construction work is
going on behind thick walls at
least 10 feet high. Doors in the
wall are equipped with buzzers
and a postage stamp size peep
hole. Police signs request that
roads he kept clear due to “exca
vating work in progress.”
I buzzed for the foreman and
a burly, kindly-faced giant opened
the door, came out on the side
walk and quickly closed the door
behind him. I told him I wanted
to know about the digging and
asked for the foreman. He was
very polite and said he would
fetch him.
Still standing on the sidewalk
outside the high wall, I tried
looking inconspicuous while pas
sersby turned to stare. The fore
man, a gnarled, cheerful Irish
man with a rich brogue, answered
my questions.
“I'm not allowed to show you
the place, miss,” he said. I'm
sorry.”
“But it is an atomic shelter?”
“This one,” he said,, being care
ful not to answer my question
directly, “is a very important
site. It leads right into Bucking
ham Palace and Westminister Ab
bey. And it’s a beautiful job!”
* * *
“How many workmen are there
at this shaft?”
“I've got only 80 now but there
were more in the beginning.”
“When did you start work?”
“Last June.”
“When will you finish?”
“We hope to be through by next
month.”
“Then what?”
“Well, then I hear talk of their
putting the Colonial Office on top
of this.”
The old Colonial Office was sev
eral blocks away and in very
shabby condition.
* * *
“Of course, if steel boys stay
on strike,” he continued, “that
plan will have to be scrapped.
“You can't keep people from
talking,” the foreman explained.
“Ilt isn't much of a secret, you
know. As a matter of fact, there’s
another of these holes over there
(he pointed toward Horseferry
Road near Victoria Street) which
hasn't got a big solid fence around
like this one. You can stand there
and see just what the workmen
are doing.”
At the other “secret” shaft, just
as the foreman had said, was the
usual group of sidewalk superin
tendents watching the excavating
of pits, one of which was stilled
with water which kept coming up
from below.
“Room enought down there for
H. Pickett, a man not listed among the
Georgia delegates; T. J. Townsend,
Alma; G. B. Headrick, Dalton; Thomas R.
Spillane, Savannah; L. H. Crawford, Dal
ton; James L. Grant, Darien. Headrick
and Spillane are alternates.— (AP Wire
photo.)
“Frightening, isn’t it?” a striped
trousered one commented, then
looked up at the bright blue sky
into the warm sunshine, shud
dered and walked away.
As the foreman said London’s
mysterious holes-in-the-ground
aren’t much of a secret, Except
for the fact that the Ministry of
Defense says there aren’t any.

Russia Anti-American Campaign
Gains As U. S. Propaganda Fails
By LEON DENNEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
PARIS —(NEA)— Though the
Cominform has suffered recent
setbacks in the West, Russia’s
“hate America” campaign is gain
ing ground among middle-of-the
road Europeans, a survey of four
countries by NEA Service reveals.
In Britain, France, Italy and
West Germany, increasing num
bers are reported inclined to be
lieve the Kremlin’s charge that the
U. S. has resorted to “germ war
fare” in Korea.
This is due in a large measure
to the almost to:al lack of effec
tive western counder-propaganda
—either on the part of U. S. of
ficials in Europe or any of the
NATO powers.
Washington is reported to be
spending fabulous sums of money
for “information services” abroad.
Hosts of U. S. public relations of
ficials, psychological warfare ex
perts and MSA representatives are
seen everywhere in Europe. But
the results of their “educational”
efforts are hardly visible.
Meanwhile, Moscow’s anti-
U. S. drive is mounting in viru
lence. The Pravda recently
printed a major article by Soviet
“philosopher” G. Aleksandrov in
which “cannibalistic American
imperialism” is charged with
having devised a ‘“master plan”
to exterminate 700,000,000 persons
in Europe and Asia by means of
atomic war, germ warfare and
disease. )
Even George XKXennan, U. S.
Ambassador to Moscow, is report
ed to be distrubed by the intensity
and venom with which the Rus
sians are now attacking the
United States.
Kennan is known as an advo
cate of a policy of “peaceful co
existence” with Communist Rus
sia. But his experiences during
the few weeks he has been in
Moscow have shocked him pro
foundly, it is reported. He os
tensibly discussed the Kremlin
sponsored “hate America” cam
paign with Secretary of State
Dean Acheson when they recent
ly met in London.
Western experts on Soviet
methods of psychological warfare
are alarmed over the impact
Russian propaganda is having on
the growing neutralist forces in
Europe. They fear that the Rus
sians’ “hate America” campaign
will succeed where their periodic
“peace” offensives failed—to split
the NATO powers and weaken the
European Defense Communnity.
At the same time, having re
cently suffered a series of set
backs in the West, the Cominform
has now put forward a mew line
calling for a “Popular Front” of
all those opposed to %“American
imperialism“ and the “rearma
ment of Germany.”
Moscow will now use the threat
of a rearmed Germany to stam
pede letists, neutralists and com
mon Europeans who fear war
FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1952,
into the Communist ecamp, ang
thus help in crippling the West's
defensive measures.
With Eastern Germany firmly
in their grip, the Russians are
clearly prepared to employ all
means—including terror and sabo
tage—to prevent the German
Federal Republic from ratifying
the Bonn and Paris agreements,
MONTANA GETTING COLDELR
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Mon
tana has grown colder and wetter
during the past 10 years. Moun
tain glaciers have grown larger in
the cold weather, and the state’s
growing season has shortened.
R. A. Dightman, chief of the
U. S. Weather Bureau in Montana,
claims Montana and the entire
Northwest, is in the midst of a
cyclical cold period. He has told
the Montana Academy of Sciences
that Weather Bureau figures show
temperatures for the last 10 years
have averaged 42.2 degrees in
Montana, two degrees less than
the previous 10 year mean. In 1937
the 10-year average moisture fall
was slightly over 12 inches. In
1952 it had climbed to 15 inches,
The increased cold has broyght
dramatic growth to the stafe’s
