THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1955 NIGHT EDITOR: DICK SNYDER LABOR SPLIT MA Y GROW Tories Out To Break Traiton-AdSol oI "I'm Beginning To Think That's A Great Idea" NO A?PEASEMEA~T r BRITAIN votes today, and both prophets and pollsters agree Sir Anthony Eden's Conser- vatives will break an ancient tradition. No living Briton can remember an election when the party in power increased its Parliamentary majority. Estimates of the new Conservative majority (now a mere 19 out of 630 seats) range from 40 to 112. Their new popular lead is calculated at three and a half per cent. But prophets and pollsters have been wrong before, and the badly-divided Laborites find themselves incongruously betting on tradition. N AN unusually dull campaign, some re- strained sparks have flown. Mock ration cards issued by the Tories to remind voters of Socialist austerity are described as "rather mean" by Laborite Attlee. Conservative Eden calls opposition posters "utterly monstrous" when they depict the vot- ers' choice as being welfare and "H-warfare." Americans, who may have felt a little ashamed at what we call "election issues," may enjoy the mild consolation of knowing mudslinging is not a uniquely American custom. Laborite Aneurin Bevan, was deflated some- what when America agreed to Big Four talk, The suggestion now is that the timing of our action was not entirely governed by the exi- gencies of the Cold War but was influenced by the strength it would lend to the Conserva- tives position, perhaps with some\ justice. SURELY America and Britain will not hold hands .more tightly if the latter is ruled by Labor. Recent visits of party leaders to Com- munist countries indicate, if not an open friend- liness, at least a desire to improve Anglo-Rus- sian relations at the expense of United States friendship. Attlee's open and bitter hostility to- wards Chiang Kai-shek, at a time when we are threatening to use armed force to support the Formosan government, could cause a serious split among the Western powers. PRIME MINISTER Eden has been describing himself (for campaign purposes) as the man who has "talked across the table with the Russians for many years, probably more than any other man living." Be this as it may, he would surely be an asset to the Western side as it attempts to bargain with the Rus- sians later this year. During the negotiations on the Western European Union, Eden skill- fully reconciled divergent points of view and assuaged resentment over the defeat' of EDC. Labor has much at stake on the outcome of the election. Its ranks have been badly divided by Bevan and his followers, who broke with the Labor Party position on key votes. Bevan came within a hair's breadth of losing his members ship in the party, a heavy punishment under the British system. W'ERE LABOR to organize the government, Bevan's votes would be essential on every important issue before the House of Commons. It is doubtful that, he would be willing to risk Laborite control by voting against his fellow Socialists, if only because it would inevitably mean his political neck. i Labor continues as the opposition party, the Bevanite split may well grow, despite elec- tiontime fellowship among leaders of both wings of the party. If the prophets and pollsters are to be trusted, Attlee had better resign himself to several more trying years as Leader of a Loyal, but divided, Opposition. --Pete Eckstein 40 r r, 4.

It also brings Clark Gable back to the screen after one of his periodic absences and allows him to perform the viril-he-man role he has been repeating since his screen debut. Taken from Ernest K. Gann's novel, "Soldier of Fortune" em- ploys the same multi-character effect used in a previous Gann ef- fort, "The High and the Mighty." The film's advertisements tell the story rather well, elaborating up- on its major characters, which in- clude: 1. Hank Lee (Gable), "Yank-n- exile, gun-runner, hi-jacker of all trades!" 2. Jane Hoyt (Susan Hayward), "woman in trouble-deep fn the troubled Orient!" 3. Merryweather (Michael Ren- nie), "English 'cop' . . . taken for a ride on the South China Seas!" 4. Louis Hoyt (Gene Barry), "Newspaperman, adventurer . . and missing husband!" 5. Madame Dupree (Anna Sten, musical comedy star of the '30's in a screen comeback), "the Vod- ka-happy 'Russky' who danced for her supper!" T H E S E INDIVIDUALS, and others just as colorful, are actu- ally engaged in removing Jane's husband, Louis, from Red China so that Hank can marry Jane without experiencing guilt feel- ings. Louis has gone into the main- land to take photographs of every- day life there. The players perform with the blandness of old-time musical-co- miedy actors; and, as can be ex- pected, the results are so stereo- typed and overly melodramatic, that not even the most mild kind of interest can be aroused from the audience. I -Ernest Theodossin CINEMA GUILD: 'Steps' Good Spya Chase ALFRED HITCHCOCK directs an exciting spy chase in "The 39 ~Steps."' A m sterious woman is murder- ed in Robert Donat's London apartment. To clear himself of the crime, he must discover the reason for her murder and catch the criminals. As Hannay, he follows the dy- ing woman's directions to Scot- land, managing to keep ahead of the police and the murderers through escapes made even more miraculous by Hitchcock's camera. Hannay soon realizes the murder- ers are spies attempting to get secret plans from the country. More and more police and spies join the chase until he reveals the spy leader in the London Palla- dium. * * * THE FILM is suspenseful and humorous; Hannay's being hand- cuffed t o Madelaine Carroll through about half the film al- lows much opportunity for esca- pades behind waterfalls and in inns. His ingenuity in escaping from innumerable enemies is taxed but never strained. Climbing from trains, marching in church par- ades, and making political speech- es merely sharpen his wit and ap- petite. Hannya's meeting with the mys- terious woman at the outset of the film has been sliced and needs ex- planation. From that point, the film is straightforward, clear, and good entertainment. INTERPRETING THE NEWS: On Peacetime Morale By WALTER LIPPMANN '17E LOWER HOUSE of Congress has just done its bit in dealing with the military bills to give the tough-minded and cynical reason to say we told you so: let peace begin to dawn however faintly on the far horizon, and before you can turn around the politicians who are worrying about the election will begin to demobilize and to disarm. The President had proposed to Congress that the standing forces be cut back somewhat and that this reduction should be compensated by an improved Reserve. The President's program rested on the fact that with an ocean to cross for a war in Eur- ope or in Asia, the standing forces at home can, as he put it, be "tailored." For the rate at which troops can be moved from continental United States across an ocean cannot be fast. There is necessarily time to mobilize a Re. serve if it is already trained. The reduction of the standing forces can be justified, therefore, only if it is backed by a trained Reserve. "If we do not maintain an active virile, live ready Reserve," asked chairman Vinson, "then we shall have to keep a larger standing force?" To this Secretary Stevens replied, "That is definitely my view." IN THE FACE of this the House has now voted to reduce the standing forces. Then it has voted to lay aside the Reserve program. On both issues the majority of the Represen- tatives took the cheap and easy side, they wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They did this, it is only fair to say, with the White House and the Pentagon providing listless lead- ership. The Representatives did not mean, if any- one had asked them about it, to start demobiliz- ing and disarming before there has even been agreement on the place where we are to talk with the Russians. They were not thinking of the Russians at all. They were thinking of the constituencies. But the cynics are entitled to say that the House would not have taken the The Daily Staff Editoial Sff Eugene Hartwig...... ........ ...

No wonder that in high quarters throughout the Western coalition there is a deep concern as to whether the military and political system, put together with such trouble, may begin to melt with the first rays of the sun. The system depends upon the continuing pop- ular support of such unpopular things as con- scription, high taxes, the presence of foreign troops ,and obedience to foreign commanders. These unpopular things have been supported by democratic legislatures because there was a powerful Red Army in the heart of Europe con- trolled by an aggressive, unfriendly, and in-" scrutable government in Moscow. The system was put together because of tho tension created from Moscow. Now Moscow and the great powers say that they wish to relax the tension. If the morale of the democ- racies is to be maintained, they will need to pass through the equivalent of a decompression chamber. Otherwise, like the House of Repre- sentatives, they will develop a case of the bends. DO NOT believe that morale can now be maintained by trying to make the demo- cratic peoples believe that nothing has changed, that they ought to be just as frightened as they were before Stalin died. A propaganda to keep the democracies scared would play right into the hands of the Krem- lin, would give it the material it needs to claim that we do not want peace and that we are warmongers. The contest, we must not allow ourselves to forget, is for the support of the masses of the people who are mortally afraid of atomic war-who have themselves no atomic weapons, who have no defense against atomic weapons. There are only two atomic powers in the world, and the mass of opinion will move against that atomic power which seems the more warlike. O[NE OF THE facts of life in democratic societies is that public opinion tends to become extreme and absolute about war and peace: to oscillate between appeasement and unconditional surrender. The consequences in this century have been tragic. For absolute opinions are a fatal obstacle to successful negotiations. Foreign policy is caught between disarmament which gives in easily and a call for total victory which costs too much and is-as we have learned in the two wars-- politically worthless. What then ought to be the leading idea which the responsible leaders could give to the public opinion of the democracies? For the purposes of the coming negotiations there will be a poor public morale if the people are in a state of mind to accept and indeed to demand agree- ments at any price: or if they are unwilling, By DREW PEARSON T HE PRESIDENT recently held another of his famous stage dinners for which the guest list is no longer available, but at which he made his views clearer than ever that he did not intend to run for a second term. Those who attended the dinner came away convinced he meant what he said. "I've had it," was what one din- ner guest quoted him as saying. * * * , HE WENT ON to say that no political party should be depen- dent on one man. He explained that he had never had a vacation in his entire life and was tired. The only let-up he ever had from the stress and strain of military duties was when he was President of Columbia University, and that, he said, was no vacation. The President also complained about his bursitis, said it was the result of tension and nerves. So he felt he deserved a chance to go up to his Gettysburg farm and re- lax. The dinner meeting lasted from about 7:30 to 11:45 with a lot of politics discussed. But the politics that directly affected the Presi- dent seemed quite definite. * * * THE NEXT CHAPTER in the "Cain Mutiny" occurs today when ex-Sen. Harry Cain, the Republi- can whom Eisenhower appointed to the Subversives Control Board, testified against Eisenhower's own loyalty and security risk program. When Cain was in the Senate from Washington state, he was an ardent advocate of higher rents, less public housing, defended Joe McCarthy's war record and favor- ed the Taft-Hartley Act. But now that he's on the Sub- versive Control Board Cain tells friends he's had more time to think. The trouble with Senators, he says, is that they're always run- ning errands for constituents or worrying about getting re-elected. So today, Cain has become the mostardent Republican enemy of witch-hunting in the Capital. Today he will testify before Sen. Olin Johnson of South Carolina who's probing security risks. Cain plans to point out, as he did ear- lier this week, that the Attorney General's list of subversives is out- moded and misleading, with only 30 organizations out of 275 ac- tually Communist. He also plans to point out that the United States is a long way' from being in danger of Commun- ism from within.

He was presi- dent of the group last semester.) By JIM DYGERT T HEY STOOD waiting anxious- ly for the train at the station in Golf, Illinois last Friday. Finally someone shouted, "Here it comes." But something was wrong. The train didn't stop. And the train had always stop- ped. That's how Golf got its name. Members of nearby Glenview Country Club, riding out from Chi- cago on the Milwaukee Railroad at the turn of the century, always hollered, "Golf," when they want- ed off at Glenview. Nothing wos more natural than that a railroad station be built there and called "Golf." Next came a cluster of homes around it, and finally the Village of Golf. * * * BUT THIS TIME the train went right by. Five Evans Scholars were waiting with golf bags, portray- ing caddies who waited for the golfers to get off the train yearsj ago. Photographers and,'newsmen stood by alert. Then the train did pull to a halt, a few hundred yards down the tracks. The crowd exhaled ap- proval as it began to back up, and stopped at the station. Flash bulbs popped as'the men responsible for the nation-wide success of the Evans Scholarship program stepped off the train. One of them was asked to stop and pose for several shots. He was 'Chick' Evans, who began the scho- larship idea more than 30 years hoping to expand it. In 1930, the Association sent the first two Ev- ans Scholars to Northwestern Uni- versity. As the program grew, it set up the Evans Scholars Founda- tion to operate the plan. ' Today, the Evans Scholars Foundation sends 204 ex-caddies to 27 American colleges and uni- versities, four of which, including the University, have organized chapters of Evans Scholars. West- ern Golf embraces affiliated golf groups throughout the country who carry o nthe caddie scholar- ship program jointly with the par- ent organization. The Evans Scholars Foundation is the largest scholarship program financed by individual donations in the country. Funds are obtain- ed mainly from $5 contributions of individual members of golf clubs that belong to the Western Golf Association. CLUBS THAT participate in thes program may nominate caddies for the scholarship. To be eligible, the caddie must have been a cad- die for at least two years, be in the top quarter of his high school graduating class, and be unable to attend college without aid. A boy who grows up walking the links for spending money or savings now finds it possible to at- tend college. The Evans Scholars Foundation has provided the means, and now it has added an inspiration. That's why the train had to stop at Golf. Those who had built the program from its beginning and had accelerated it within the last five years were getting off the train for the dedication of the new of President Dwight D. er. * * * Eisenhow- DEDICATION OF the building marked the 25th anniversary of the Evans Scholars program, which in the last few years has developed to the point where it is destined to have a great influence on education in this country. By showing what can be done for young people qualified forcol- lege work but financially unable to undertake it, Western Golf has provided an inspiration for other attempts to accomplish the same. It was truly a memorable event in education at Golf, Illinois, last Friday.
