General Gruenth- er's cut was 12/%. This can be applied to the thirty-six billion dollar Defense Department expen- diture. For the average family of four, such a cut would give it more take-home pay of $2.00 per week. Is it worth seeing one's con- gressmen about this, now while they are home? -Albert Bofman Chicago, Ill. C We're No Bumphins.. To the Editor: BEING a well bred, well read, though poorly fed U. of M. man, naturally, one of the high points in my day is the two min- utes I devote to your very finely edited newspaper. Usually, I per- form this masochistic act over breakfast, which probably accounts for the failure of my coffee to per- form its hoped for function. Today, though, has been an en- tirely different story. For hours now I have been in the very high- est of spirits, and I owe it all to you. I wish to express my heart felt gratitude to Miss Tammy Mor- rison for the refreshingly positive tone of her front page article de- scribing her interview with Mme. Zinka Milanov. Really, words fail to describe the pleasure it has brought me to know that, in the words of Miss Morrison, "the Am- erican audience is fast catching up with its European counterpart in the realm of musical taste." Sure- ly this is a very encouraging piece of intelligence. Miss Morrison, as a symbol of the national inferiority complex, has again managed to place us all in the position of the awe in- spired bumpkin who loudly de- clares his inferiority, and stands longing for the snub. I, for one, have grown utterly tired of the casting and all that it implies. I suggest that a visit to any large city art gallery or a percep- tive comparison of the current literary trends on the two conti- nents might benefit this budding journalist, insofar as it would de- monstrate for her the grossness of her error. Your writer is la-' boring under the misconception that the artistic expression of this country falls short of current Eur- opean standards, and that the na- tive artist exists in a constant at- titude of backward gazing at the futile and finished cultures of the fatherlands. She also erroneously assumes that the sensitivity and tastes of American audiences are far below those manifest in European populations. Having some experience as a member of both varieties, I can only inform him that she is again mistaken. On the whole I have found that American audiences possess an equal if not larger understanding of the proceedings. Luckily, this mistaken belief is shared by only a small segment of the responsible population, and the damage they can do is slight. -Raphael A. Daley ,w (EDITOR'S NOTE: Drew Pearson is writing a series of analysis of the various presidential candidates in what is shaping up as the hottest election campaigns in years. Last week he analyzed Gov. Harriman of New York and was the first to report Harry Truman's friendly support for Harriman. Today he analyzes Senator Kefauver of Tennessee.) AN EASTERN newspaper editor phoned me recently to ask why Estes Kefauver of Tennessee was not popular with his Senate colleagues and why he didn't re- ceive more support from the Demo- cratic king-makers when obvious- ly he had a tremendous following with the voting public. The answer to the first question is professional jealousy. About 48 of the 96 Senators consider them- selves potential candidates for President or Vice President and none wants to help build up a ri- val. The ftuation is best illustrated by what went on behind the scenes when Kefauver probed the dyna- mite-laden Dixon-Yates power contract. In the first place, Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas, himself a dark-horse candidate, laid down the law to Senator Kilgore of West Virginia, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, that Ke- fauver must not be Chairman of a Judiciary Subcommittee to probe monopolies. Otherwise, Johnson warned, Kilgore's committee would get no funds.. * * * OBVIOUSLY Johnson did not want the gangling Senator from Tennessee getting headlines as a monopoly investigator. Kefauver has been fighting big business and monopoly ever since he was a member of the House Small Busi- ness Committee. Later, Kefauver managed to get hold of another subcommittee to investigate Dixon-Yates. Where- upon an amazing thing happened. Kilgore wrote an official letter to Kefauver laying down strict or- ders that he was not to probe Dix- on-Yates for more than two days. In brief, jealous Senators did not want Kefauver getting head- lines even though he did much of the pioneer bdttling against Dixon- Yates when other Senators thought he was chasing a will-o'-the-wisp. * * * WHETHER OTHER Senators, like Kefauver or not, there is one important fact that has to be tak- en into consideration regarding his capabilities as a candidate. He has a rare combination of cour- age, political know-how, and a Da- vy Crockett flair for the dramatic. ed. Kefauver, for instance, was the only, Southern Congressman who had the courage to vote for the Negro on the tough test of cloture -namely, cutting off debate on race questions. He was one of only two or three Senators who saw the danger of Harold Talbott's appointment as Secretary of the Air Force and delivered a long speech against his confirmation. Talbott's later resignation proved that the Tenneseean was right. * * * KEFAVER was one of only five or six Senators to stand up on the Senate floor and oppose the spe- cial resolution giving Eisenhower power to go to war and even drop the atom bomb over Quemoy and Matsu. Kefauver was also the only Sen- 1ator willing to ask embarrassing, penetrating questions of Federal Communications Chairman George JcConnaughey-questions that de- veloped McConnaughey's connec- tion with the Bell Telephone Company. Today, one year later, the Bell. System's contracts and influence inside the Administration has be- come about the hottest issue in Washington. * * * KEFAVER ALSO was one of the first Senators to crack down' on his colleague, Joe McCarthy -- dating back even to 1946 when he helped expose McCarthy's phony charges against American service- men for allegedly torturing the SS men, Nazis responsible for the Malmedy massacre. What makes Democratic king- makers bitter against the long, tall Senator from Tennessee is that he focused his crime probe on the big Democratic strongholds of Chicago, New York, Kansas City, shortly before the 1952 elec- tion. Kefauver has some handicaps, which will be dealt with later. But today he is probably the best single vote-getter in the Democratic par- ty and among the first three lead- ing candidiates.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst RED CHINA has a serious grain shortage and is requiring farmers to deliver a large share of their crops to the government and is taking other stringent farm regimentation measures. The United States has a grain surplus, largely owned by the government, which is a serious economic embarrassment. Red China among other things is seeking through the Geneva discussions to get a relaxation of the complete tra'de embargo imposed by the United States, and of the embargo on strategic materials maintained by other nations of the free world. The United States, among other things, is seeking at Geneva to get Red China to re- nounce the use of force pending settlements by peaceful means of Far Eastern issues. The Reds seek an immediate high-level conference on these issues. HERE THEN are two nations, one considering the other barbarous and a violator of world public opinion as an aggressor, but each having something the other vitally wants.

AssnatA RsnsManage pressure of Russia's internal needs to provide the basis of compromise when the foreign ministers meet at Geneva in a few days. Perhaps there is an internal situation in China which could produce a similar situation. Several years ago China greatly relaxed the Communist "line" with regard to agriculture in an effort to improve production. Private borrowing and selling in farm land was per- mitted in order that the more efficient farmers might procure holdings of workable size. BUT AT the same time taxes-in-kind drove workers from the land, and spreading in- dustrialization lured them to the cities. Now the rate of progress in industry has outstripped agriculture, and farmers are showing little interest in providing for urban people who have received by far the lion's share of benefits from an improved general economy. Now the Peiping regime has announced re- newal of the original collectivization program in an effort to do by force what it has not been Fable to do by other means. It admits a "tense situation." A "tense situation" with regard to China's food supply doesn't mean mere belt tightening. Where few ever have even what other peoples consider a bare subsistance, any sort of short- age means not malnutrition, but starvation. The situation, then, would appear to contain the factors for successful trading, in com- modities which mean much to both sides. But Red logic is not the same as ours.

"DO YOU TRUST YOUR WIFE?" New Give-A wayBoom in Television By CHARLES MERCER Associated Press Writer THIS will go down in the his- tory of television as the season of the give-away program. So many advertisers are trying to give away so much money these days that it's impossible to list the shows accurately. You barely catch your breath when there's a new flood of announcements of new ways of giving away money. NBC-TV has something new on Saturday evenings called "The Big Surprise," with prizes up to $100,000-apparently in an effort to top "The $64,000 Question" on CBS Tpesday evenings. Getting in the money mood of the give- away programs, "Truth or Conse- quences" (NBC-TV) dared a hyp- notized 19-year-old girl to pick up $100,000 last week. A NEW FEATURE introduced on "Name That Tune" (CBS-TV) makes it possible for contestants to win as much as $25,000 in cash. Edgar Bergen plans a new show called "Do You Trust Your Wife?" on which a contestant can win $100 a week for a year-with not gambling. You stake nothing of your own. Some critics of the give-away program scornfully dismiss it as a symptom of human greed. Well, it's true' that we all like to win money, and everyone receives a few cents worth of vicarious pleas- ure from every dollar we watch another win. BUT TO at least one critic the give-away can't be dismissed as merely showing how greedy we are. It shows, rather, that every- body likes to get into the act. And television has picked on the de- vice of money to get as many people as possible interested in the act. Money is merely the device to arouse the feeling of
