TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY,.,...... JULYy 19., .... 1951av GOP Preview? (Editor's Note: Leonard Wilcox, '5, was one of the 800 delegates who attended the recent Young Republican Convention in Boston. He has written the following column especially for The Daily.) NO GROUP of Republican politicians has ever assembled without eventually battl- ing over national presidential candidates. The recent Young Republican National Con- vention in Boston was no exception. It was plunged into a heated three-day contro- versy over the election of a National Young Republican Chairman. It was the "Taft-support" that largely defeated Marryl K. Davis of Utah and the "stop-Taft-support" that elected Her- bert Warburton of Delaware National Chairman. The National Chairmanship is a two-year job that will extend through the 1952 election year. Delegates wanted a National Chairman who would fairly re- flect their sentiments on presidential pros- pects without openly committing the na- tion-wide organization. Davis, apparently, could not have re- mained neutral in view of the direct help he received from the Taft backers. All signs point to a strong attempt by the Taft or- ganization to try to "steamroll" the 1952 convention into nominating the Ohio Sena- tor similar to the spectacle of party solidar- ity which Dewey achieved in Philadelphia in 1948. Such "spectacles" are arranged well in advance with the Presidential can- didate picked before the Convention even convenes. But in three successive Republican nom- inating conventions - and at the Boston Young Republican Convention - the anti- Taft forces combined to stop the Senator. The pressure put on many of the Young Republican delegates in Boston to back Davis gives observers some indication of the "steamroller" technique which the Taft sup- porters are oiling up in preparation for next year. Warburton, the new Young Republican Chairman claims to be independent of any national presidential candidate andnappears to be unattached to any group-but being from Delaware which is rather firmly in the "eastern-liberal" Republican camp, he would doubtlessly favor Eisenhower or maybe even Dewey again. Michigan backed Warburton, not only be- cause he showed promise as an administra- tor but because he led the group that op- posed Taft's carrying the Young Republican Convention by the high pressure tactics that were everywhere evident. Michigan, together with New York, Pennsylvania, Cali- fornia, Delaware, and New England pro- vided the "stop-Taft" block. Utah, Ohio; Indiana, Illinois, and the South supported the Taft-backed candidate. A third candidate who might have thrown the chairmanship to either Davis or Warburton since he held the balance of votes needed to elect one of them was Wiley Mayne of Iowa. When he was dropped on the fifth ballot, he did not commit his delegates to any candidate. The delegates that were released, largely from the farming mid-west, Iowa, Mis- souri, Kansas, Minnesota, and the Dako- tas, joined the anti-Taft forces and assured Warburton's election. The Young Republican Convention should make it clear tha the Republican candidate contest in Chicago next year is going to be a hard fight for whoever wins. Taft can be stopped if his opponents can settle on a can- didate. Unless Eisenhower will be that man there seems to be no one who can draw enough popular support to stem the drive by Taft backers to "nominate Bob on the first ballot." This would of course mean the Republicans have lost another Presidential election. -Len Wilcox Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. NIGHT EDITOR: SID KLAUS I 11 mmmmmmmmlowm MATTE R Jr FA C'6 By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP It WASHINGTON-It is an even bet tht something very secret and very import- ant preceded by some weeks the negotia- tions which have been going on at Kaesong in Korea. The redoubtable Sherlock Holmes, for example, reviewing the available evi- dence, would surely have come up with something like the following working hy- pothesis: Since early in May, the top American policy makers have had excellent unex- plained reasons, almost certainly based on highly secret negotiations of some sort, for believing that a Korean truce was imminent. There is no proof that this is so. It is officially denied that anything of the sort has been going on. Yet in this tense period of waiting on events in Korea, the reader may find it interesting to consider the evi- dence, and to decide for himself whether the hypothesis is a reasonable one. * * * * THE FIRST ITEM of evidence is wholly intangible-no more than a change of mood. But it was a very striking and sudden change of mood. Early last May, officials who a few days before had seemed down- right suicidal suddenly began to act as though they could hardly restrain them- selves from breaking into a jig. Whereas before they would glumly shrug their shoul- ders when asked how and when the Korean War might be brought to an end, in the first week of May there was suddenly talk about "a fifty-fifty chance of- ending the war this summer." Why this change? Was this abrupt shift from despair to hope the result of pure, unalloyed political instinct? Or were there powerful but secret reasons for believing that the war in Korea might be settled? Surely Mr. Holmes would accept only the second answer. At any rate, it was easy then to smell some sort of rat, whether real or imaginary. And the rat smells continued. In mid-May, Pres- idential foreign policy adviser W. Averell Harriman remarked publicly, off the cuff, that the war might end "next week, the week after, in a month or two months." The war could not possibly end without some sort of direct East-West contact. Had this contact already been made? If not, it begins to seem that Harriman should take up crystal ball gazing as a business. * * * * TESTIFYING BEFORE the MacArthur en- quiry, Secretary George Marshall exuded the same mystifying optimism. He referred repeatedly to the Berlin blockade, and to the "United Nations channels" through which the settlement had been negotiated. These "channels" took the form, of course, of highly secret talks between Yakov Malik and Ambassador-at-Large Philip Jessup. Was something of the sort, whether in this country or elsewhere, already going on? Questioned on this point at the time, officials would plead ignorance, or look carefully blank. But the note of unex- plained optimism continued throughout the testimony of all the Administration leaders during the MacArthur testimony. Then, early in June, came Secretary Mar- shall's sudden, unannounced trip to Japan and Korea, to confer with Gen. Matthew Ridgway. A great effort was made at the time to implant the notion that Marshall was much given to such sudden junkets, and that his trip had no special significance. But such a trip was a serious matter for an overbur- dened man, no longer young. And surely, in retrospect, it does not require a very nasty and suspicious mind to surmise that Mar- shall went to Japan because he knew that truce negotiations were imminent, and be- cause he wished to arrange matters in ad- vance with Ridgway. * * * * FINALLY, just before the now-famous Malik truce bid, another Korean junket was planned-that of Paul Nitze, Chief of the State Department's policy planning staff. At first it was put about that Nitze was "on vacation." Now it is said that Nitze planned purely by chance to go to Korea at that particular time, and that the Malik proposal came as a complete surprise. But how com- plete was the surprise? Surely it is remark- ably lucky that the chief policy planner should just happen to be on hand to advise Ridgway during the course of the delicate negotiations. There were, to be sure, certain very faint indications that the Communists might want a truce-vague hints by Malik and other Soviet officials, a change in the Soviet propaganda line. But these exceed- ingly tenuous indications were certainly not enough to explain the above chain of evidence. The reader may be his own Sherlock Holmes in deciding whether or not the hypothesis is reasonable-whether or not, some time about the beginning of May, highly secret East-West contact was made, which strongly indicated the like- lihood of a Korean cease-fire. At any rate, credit should be given where credit is due. If there was secret diplomatic contact, it was kept, for once, really secret, which is as it ought to be. If there was no secret contact, leading officials of the State and Defense Departments have displayed a political prescience which is little short of miraculous. (Copyright, 1951, New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) DREW PEARSON: Washington Merry-Go-Round WASHINGTON - Defense Mobilize r Charles E. Wilson has had many bitter battles with labor both before and after he came to Washington. However, the former General Electric boss pulled shoulder-to- shoulder with labor leaders last week in a closed-door assault on Congress for failing to pass effective price controls. More than 100 house members, including about 20 Republicans, heard Wilson, AFL President Bill Green and CIO Secretary- Treasurer James Carey denounce the badly gutted price control bill as a boon to Joe Stalin and an invitation to ruinous infla- tion. "If the dollar goes down to 25 cents in value because Congress has falied to con- trol prices, Joe Stalin will have gained a great victory without firing a shot," the ex-head of General Electric declared at the secret meeting, called by House Rules Chairman Adolph Sabath of Illinois. "I do not agree with labor all the time, but I agree with labor on this. We are moving into a period of .stepped-up production for defense that will greatly increase the pres- sure on our economy. Yet Congress is about to pass legislation that weakens controls on inflation instead of stiffening them. "I'm from big business and I'm proud of It," continued Wilson, "Even though this spokesman for labor"-he pointed t CIO's Jim Carey-"has ripped into me from time to time in the past. But we've got to realize -all of us, business, labor, the farmer and Congress-that we must pull tongether un-- selfishly if we are going to win the battle against inflation."' Carey, AFL President Green and Charles Anderson, an official of the railroad bro- therhoods, vogorously supported Wilson. *ASSFOD KANSA S FLOODS "Hit Him Again - He's Still Breathing" a /ettep TO THE EDITOR The Daily welcomes communications from its readers on matters of general interest, and will publish all letters which are signed by the writer and in good taste.

Rent Decontrol . . . To the Editor: THEEDITORS of The Dail have exhibited a wholly jus tified concern with the problem of rent decontrol in Ann Arbor The subject has been extremel troublesome (and as a councilman I wish I had not had to face it) Whatever the ultimate conclusion one may reach on the merits o decontrol, one cannot in good con- science be entirely comfortable about it-even those who wrote The Daily's editorial of Sunday July 15, and those who have ar- gued so vehemently on the othe side. Without attempting to de- bate the merits of continuing con- trol under the existing law as against decontrol, I wish merely to register a slight, though perhaps unavailing, protest, against some of the assertions and insinuations of bad faith which are to be found in Mr. Thomas' editorial of July 13 and in the Editors' joint editor- ial of July 15. I refer to the charge that. by asking the Housing Expediter to decontrol under a provision of the law giving him authority to do so on his own volition, and in the al- ternative requesting decontrol un- der the "local option" provision, the Council was "trying to dodge responsibility for their own ac- tion . . . thereby absolving them of a degree of responsibility if lo- cal rents went into a whirlwind upward spiral after decontrol (Thomas' editorial, July 13), and that the preferred action "would have neatly confused the elector- ate of this community by letting Woods do the honors and the Fed- eral government take the blame" (joint editorial, July 15). Perhaps Mr. Thomas and the other editors will disbelieve, but I can assure them quite honestly that, rather than dealing with the problem ir- responsibly, the Council thought it was acting quite responsibly when it sought decontrol if the need should arise. The fact is that the members of the Council's Special Rent Con- trol Committee knew perfectly well after the Council's open hear- ing on the question of decontrol how a large majority of the Coun- cil felt about the matter. A vote for decontrol under the localvop- tion clause was a foregone con- clusion. Some of us who agreed that continuing rent control un- der the present law would not be desirable believed nevertheless that the facts with respect to the housing situation were not so cry- stal clear that decontrol would not involve any risk of exhorbitant rent increases. We lacked any power under state law to threaten to impose our own system of con- trols. We sought a means of pre- serving a legal power to recon- trol, and we found it in the pro- vision of the federal law giving the Expediter power to recontrol, if the need should arise, when de- control has been accomplished by voluntary action of the Expiditer. Thus, our request for a "dual resolution" was intended, if rea- sonably possible, to accomplish de- control with power to recontrol. The alternative was flat decon- trol under the local option pro- vision. We felt that Mr. Woods could act voluntarily in reliance on y the Council's own conclusions on - the rental housing situation. He a felt that he could not do so. I can- not argue that his conclusion was y technically incorrect, though I n question its wisdom in view of the . alternative. I believe that the idea a was a good one and that there was f no attempt at "buck-passing" (es- - pecially since the Council obvi- ously was assuming full respon- sibility for decontrol-one way or the other). It is interesting to note, in connection with the edi- tors' implied charge of bad faith, r that the extremists on the other side have also charged us with bad faith in refusing to proceed direct- ly under the local option provi- sion. o My own position on the merits of the issue of decontrol can be stated very simply. I believe that we do not now have the kind of housing emergency which obvi- ously justified controls in the first instance, though I quite freely concede that we still have a hous- ing problem. I would favor a sys- tem of controls of rents and other major items in the cost of living, and of wages and salaries, set up and administered on a basis of equality of treatment of those who are to be controlled. I think trat the present system of controls does not and cannot accomplish this result. I hope the Congress will pass a good set of control 1 laws. Meanwhile, on a balancing l of all the considerations, I be- lieve the situation does not justi- fy a continuance of rent controls under the present law. I shall vote for recontrol, if that becomes le- gally possible by amendment, even under the present law if the re- sult of decontrol proves to be rent gouging. Finally, let me say that in my judgment the basic problem with respect to housing in Ann Arbor is how to get low-cost housing built, either for rent or for sale, so that the housing needs of the low income groups can be met. This problem cannot be solved in terms of rent control or decontrol. -Russell A.

Republicans at the helm of the dom- inant G.O.P.-SouthernDemocrat coali- tion are kcking Harry Truman around and automatically thwarting his proposals as blithely as if they had never heard of 1948. The Truman administration is losing no chance to build up Senator Taft as the in- evitable Republican nominee for President in the apparent confidence that he will be a sitting duck for the Democrats no matter what errors they commit. THUS THE CAPITAL is presented with the unusual spectacle of each party do- ing its utmost to see that the opposition chooses the candidate of those who will be voting for the other side. Republican tac- tics are the best possible goad to Mr. Tru- man, whose intentions are still uncertain. Democrats have opened up the Minnesota primary to Senator Taft over Harold Stas- sen's prostrate form and in many ways con- trive to stamp Republicans as the Taft party. FEw PROFESSIONAL politicos will now contend that either Mr. Truman or Sen- ator Taft would be a great unifying force in the country. If the current trend goes unchecked, however, one of them will be the winner in November, 1952. Republicans appear perfectly sincere in their belief that Mr. Truman next time cannot breast the tide against the Demo- crats. So, apart from opposing his de- sires, they are largely playing by ear. The result is almost a legislative shambles and its authors act confident that they can put the blame on the President and escape scot free themselves. They are also counting largely on a whispering campaign that Mr. Truman is breaking down. Perhaps the newcomer to this week's press conference who politely told the President he was surprised to find him looking so young and well was only practicing the famous southern courtesy. But virtually every correspondent has had to assure some editor or his own Aunt Min- nie that no, the reports are not true, Mr. Tr,,an s nnf o caaffr _ rlr - . -, I PART of the damage suffered by the peo- ple of Kansas in the current flood would have been avoided but for the custom of Senatorial courtesy. Thirteen years ago, Congress passed a bill authorizing a 22,000-acre reservoir on Tut- tle Creek, north of Manhattan, Kansas. It was proposed by the Army Engineers as a means of controlling the floods which have swept Eastern Kansas periodically. However, the dam was never built-for the reason that the money never was voted by Congress. Although authorized, it was never voted because one of the late Re- publican Senators from Kansas, Clyde Reed, objected. Every time the appropria- tion came up for the Tuttle Creek reser- voir, Sen. Reed turned thumbs down, and under the system of Senatorial courtesy he had the final say. Frank Carlson, now a GOP Senator from Kansas, was then a Congressman and did his best to obtain passage of the appropriation. Later, as Governor, Frank Carlson also tried to push the Tuttle Creek reservoir through. But Sen. Reed had some friends in that area who owned farming land which would have been taken over by the proposed reservoir. Unfortunately, he put their interest ahead of the interest of the rest of the people of eastern Kansas. Now lives have been lost and millions of dollars worth of property ruined in a flood which could have been partly controlled if the Army Engineers' plan had been fol- lowed.
