PAGE FOUR THE MiCtIGIbNILILY kRWiIAY, AkR~ll ':, 1954 Plum For Red China THE forthcoming Geneva convention may well decide the fate of American hopes for a unified European Defense Alliance. The conference, which was called in an attempt to iron out Asian problems, will un- doubtedly center upon the French-Indochi- nese War. Unless the War is concluded short- ly, top French officials say, there is grave d.anger that the current French Cabinet will fall, and with it, the last possibility of French ratification of European Defense Community plans. The French People have for five years been engaged in a battle that is sucking them dry of resources and manpower. Dissatisfaction with government handling of the war is rap- idly building up. The French masses are growing more and more impatient with gov- ernmental promises of a quick end to the War. The deadline, some French officials be- lieve, is the Geneva conference. Unless the Geneva Conference can settle the Indochina problem, the French People will elect a gov- ernment determined to get out of Indochina the quickest and cheapest way possible. That would mean either: 1) Increased Indo- chinese Military expenditures with a cor- responding decrease in EDC funds (if the Gaulists win); or, 2) or isolationist policy which would abandon a continental alliance altogether (if the large pro-Communist fac- tion gains controls. In either case, U.S. plans for a unified European Defense Alliance would be shattered. The Laniel Cabinet is looking toward the U.S. for help. It realizes that the French have nothing to offer China as an inducement to stop supplying Ho Chi Minh with arms and aid. The only plum that China can possibly hope to pluck from the conference table in U.S. recognition. And it is for just this recognition that the French are appealing to Washington. This then, briefly, is the chain which binds U.S. plans for EDC with the Asian Confer- ence. 1) Unless China can be manuevered into using her influence to stop the Indochinese war, the French pro-American, pro-EDC co- alition will fall, to be replaced by a govern- ment hostile to U.S. interests. 20) The only way to pursuade Red China to stop fighting in Indochina is by offering her U.S. recognition. 3) U.S. recognition, presumbably, will mean an end to the Indochinese conflict, and the consequent ratification of EDC by a friendly French government. It would seem that the path U.S.-Asian policy should follow is clearly defined; in- deed, scarcely debatable. Yet, there is a grave possibility that all US plans will go down the drain. The Cause: the strength of pro-Chaing, anti-Red recognition sentiment in America. The blind refusal of a great majority of Americans to even consider recognition of Communist China is due to the propaganda campaign of the powerful "China Lobby." This high-powered pressure group is paid a high fee by the Nationalist Government on Fofmosa to keep anti-Red recognition feel- ing in America high. The recognition of Red China would necessarily mean a repudia- tion of the Nationalist Government. The China Lobby intends to avoid this at any cost. It has a very influential friend in Sen- ate Republican Leader William Knowland, sometimes referred to as the "Senator from Formosa." It is his group that has been so violently against any consideration of grant- ing recognition to Communist China. The continued non-recognition of a ma- jor world power is both unrealistic and unprofitable. Recognition, on the other hand, would mean not only the end of the' conflict in Indochina, but the probable ratification of EDO as well. Also, it should be kept in mind that rec- ognition of Red China in no way implies ap- proval. The advantages of using recognition as a bargaining point cannot be ignored. As has been said repeatedly, on this issue hinges the fact of a long-lasting, binding unified de- fense alliance. It can only be hoped that the hysteria which currently accompanies theI mention of Red China will not dictate the policy decisions made at the Geneva Confer- ence. -Art Cornfeld What For? WHAT'RE you majoring in English for? Or history? Or fine arts, or speech, or languages? Questions like these can be answered only partially by vague answers, such as "Oh, I don't know - courses like these make a well-rounded, cultured person." In many cases, literary college students aren't sure themselves what practical back- ground liberal arts courses will have- given them for their prospective occupations. Questionnaire recently directed to all women students by the League were returned with many requests for better career counseling. Students, it was indicated, felt a definite need for more specific advice on the relation- ship of humanities fields to the professional world. Backed by most of the League personnel, the Women's Senate Culture and Educa- tion Committee took it from there. Sat- urday's coming Career Conference, the first of its kind on campus is the grati- fying result. Five faculty authorities will be on hand to advise women aout pro- fessional opportunities for liberal arts graduates.

However, what Senator McCar- thy did was to apply the first thinly veiled anti-Semitic pressure, this country has seen -the same pressure that Hitler's brown shirts applied before he got into power. Senator McCarthy went to call on the. istinguished 83-year-old adviser to presi- dents at the Drake Hotel in New York. Ba- ruch has been spending most of the win- ter at his farm in South Carolina and had not opened his New York apartment. With McCarthy went Roy Cohn and George Sokolsky, who arranged for the interview. According to Baruch's friends the reason for McCarthy's visit was to apologize for slurs he had cast on the City College of New York, Baruch's alma mater, which McCarthy implied specialized in graduating Commu- nists. The real reason for the visit, however, ap- peared to be to persuade Baruch, as an elder statesman, to use his influence with the Na- tional Broadcasting Company and Columbia Broadcasting System to give McCarthy time to answer Adlai Stevenson, Furthermore, McCarthy wanted Baruch to use religious pressure. Friends of Baruch say that during the McCarthy call, the Senator made the point that he was certainly not anti-Semitic, as evidenced by the fact that his chief coun- sel. Cohn, was Jewish, together with his ex-staff member, David Schine. But he pointed out that some of his followers might be anti-Semitic, and it might be dif- ficult to restrain them from criticizing the two big networks, whose executives are Jewish, for refusing him time. Chairman of CBS is William Paley. Head of NBC, through the Radio Corporation of America, is David Sarnoff. Both are dis- tinguished Americans who have made gen- erous contributions to their country in war and peace, and both are of the Jewish faith. McCarthy's veiled threat was discreetly, politely put, but was nonetheless unmistak- able. Baruch made no comment and no commitments, Shortly after the interview he went back to South Carolina and has not been available for comment since. - REPUBLICAN PROPOSAL - IT WAS purposely omitted from the official findings, but the Senate Elections Sub- committee stumbled across a juicy Republi- can scandal in its search for Democratic scandals in New Mexico. What happened was that Republican leaders tried to gorge $100,000 from GOP candidate Patrick J. Hurley. In brief, they tried to sell the GOP nomination as Senator from New Mexico for $100,000 cash on the line. DRI At Lydia llendeissohn .* THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, present- ed by the Department of Speech. HIS IS one of the most enjoyable speech department productions in a long time. "The Shrew" is a farce, and Director Wil- liam Halstead plays it for every laugh it has. He has a fine cast-both in ability and energy. Leading the list are Eise Simon ( as the Shrew) and Dale Stevenson ( as the Tamer). Miss Simon is a fierce little num- ber, properly the loudest and nastiest in the show. She carries her own in any sit- uation, and more often than not she holds the stage in her scenes. Even in her "tamed" moments we can see the fire burning in her, and she never lets her role degenerate into bombast. Stevenson plays what is necessarily a. stronger-willed man. And, in order to out- yell Miss Simon. he is necessarily louder; out this does not keep him from managing his role with subtlety and discretion. Some of the most hilarious scenes were stolen by a rather lumpy two-man horse, The occupants thereof, Robert Armstrong Though the investigators were under orders to dig up dirt against Democratic Sen. Dennis Chavez, they filed one con- fidential report that was considerably more embarrassing to the Republicans. It never saw the light of day. Here are pert- inent extracts from the suppressed report: "As far back as November 21, 1951," the report states, "(Pat) Hurley was approached by Harry Robins, Republican chairman of the State Central Committee, Governor Ed- win Mechem and Fred Moxey, tax commis- sioner, and perhaps others, in a. meeting at the Lafonda Hotel, room 12, Santa Fe, New Mexico, in regard to certain monetary advances from the contestant (Hurley)." HURLEY indignantly rejected the propos- al on the grounds that he "would be vio- lating every corrupt practice law of both the state of New Mexico and the United States" and also "would be guilty of such illegal conduct that would bar him from being seated in the United States Senate, if elected." As a result, the GOP machine opposed Hurley in the pre-primary convention and later in the primary, though Hurley won both contests hands down. "As a result," adds the suppressed Senate report, "the contestant (Hurley) and the Re- publican organization worked independently during the general election campaign." -ADMITS DEMAND- '[-HE SENATE investigators, checking on Hurley's sworn statement, got an admis- sion from Harry Robins about the $100,000 demand. "The committee has in its possession a tape recording on which Harry Robins, the Republican State Chairman, admitted that the monetary demand was his own idea," ac- cording to the investigators' report. "How- ever, he excused the demand as a lever to run the contestant's (Hurley's) campaign and his very actions, including what clothes and glasses he would be permitted to wear. Mr. Robins also stated on this same tape record- ing that this sum would be used to finance the campaigns of two candidates for Con- gress "When Mr. Robins was interviewed, he related that the money referred to above was to be placed in escrow to hold the con- testant in line. However, he was vague, when questioned, what possible stipulation for such an escrow agreement he had in mind." Note-The $200,000 New Mexico investiga- tion was run by GOP Senators Barrett of Wyoming and Potter of Michigan. The only Democratic member of the subcommittee, Senator Hennings of Missouri, complained that he was "excluded entirely" from the committee's activities. (Copyright, 1954, by the Bell Syndicate) kMA and James Umphrey, (reading from back to front), seem to have added dimensions to their interpretation that even their fel- low-actors didn't expect-at least they were laughing too, Of the innumerable clowns, two in partic- ular stand out: Conrad Stolzenbach, as the bum for whom the play is given, and Rich- ard Joy, who plays Stevenson's servant. Sev- eral characters--Arnold Stein, for example --made use of their relaxed moments to take up Hamletlike poses against the pillars (or perhaps it was just the Elizabethan cos- tumes which suggested this). Of the production itself, it might be well to note that a few liberties were taken with the play which made it easier to follow, and added a few comic touches that Shakespeare missed. The set was mobile enough to allow for changes of scene with only a few moments' alteration, and the play moved quite smoothly because of it. With a play like this, as with the Gilbert and Sullivan productions, it is as much the spirit of the actors as their theatrical ability that counts; it is pleasant when a show can have both. -Tom Arp '3 ~~ A >~ I! ~~-- f sd tett/4 TO THE EDITOR The Daily welcomes communications from its readers on matteOs t general interest, and will publish all letters which are signed by the writer and in good taste.
