NOW THAT every arm-chair general is an expert on the Civil War
it is to be expected that Hollywood should make the most of the
trials and errors of the Confederacy. It is to Walt Disney's credit
that in ;"The Great Locomotive Chase" he ignores the usual cliche,
of pitched battles, swooning Southern women and emotional churning
on the preservation of our great Union.
Instead he has gone to a minor, allegedly true incident which
hinges around the efforts of an intrepid band of Northerners to blow

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:
Nickel Scandal Develops

up the bridges that will prevent
1the South from getting reinforce-
ments to Chatanooga. In order to
Saccomplish their purpose they in-
filtrate Southern lines, learna how
to sing Dixie, and finally succeed
in stealing a train. When the
Cconductor realizes he has lost his
train (it's kind of difficult not to
miss somethig that big) the chase
is on.
As the title indicates the atten-
tion catching feature of this par-
ticular flight is that it is all done
with train engines. This provides
lots of opportunities for breath-
less exploits with burning box-
cars and up-rooted rails and suave
coolness on the part of Fess Parker
as the secret service man who
almost talks the South into giving
?him the train,
BUT THEIR LUCK could not
last. After a couple of half-heart-
ed attempts to take to the woods
the engine-stealers resign them-
selves to captivity and the hero
to death. At this point the movie
makes a last minute decision to
become sentimental so we have a
man-to-man handshake between
the hero and the conductor who
has chased him down-the theory
behind it all being someday-this-
war-will-end-and-we'll-all-have-to
shake-hands. And Secretary of
War Seward appears with a very
unconvincing beard to pin the Con-
gressional medal on the survivors.
The acting is rather wooden be-
ing mainly of the stiff upper lip
school and how some of the party
managed to fool even a Confed-
erate child is a mystery. But the
chase is fun.
The other Disney film on the
bill records the story of "Men
Against the Arctic," another in the
series of Peoples and Places. There
are some beautiful shots of ice-
bergs twisted into triumphal arch-
es, towering mountains, and
treacherous crevasses. With a min-
imum of sentiment the role of the
icebreaker is presented but it is
not the people but the animals
who steal the show. Although only
on the screen a few minutes the
sight of walruses sporting them-
selves besides the icebreaker is
well worth seeing.

WASHINGTON-An interesting
scandal has developed in the
government-owned nickel plant at
Nicaro, Cuba, where the manager
of the plant bought a Cadillac
with government funds, and where
the paymaster helped himself to
$10,075 with the help of his fam-;
ily,
The plant, built by the govern-
ment to supply nickel during the "
war, is now being operated for
the government by the Nickel Pro-
cessing Corp., a subsidiary of Na-
tional Lead.
The general manager, who used
government money to buy the
Cadillac, is 0. D. Niedermeyer. The
paymaster who got the $10,075 is
Oscar Montane.
When this column queried Na-
tional Lead in New York about the
operations of its two employees,
there was no comment. National
Lead asked that we call back. This
was done - four times - still no
comment.
Franklin Floete, new adminis-
trator of general services who has
charge of operating government
property, was refreshingly frank.
He said that his agency had de-
tected the shortages in May and
promptly shot off a letter to Nickel
Processing Corp., May 29, asking
that the matter be cleaned up.
There have been subsequent dis-
cussions with the company about
Niedermeyer and Montane, and
the General Services Administra-
tion has forwarded the entire file
to the Justice Department for
possible criminal prosecution.
Montane has now returned $8,000,
while Niedermeyer is paying the
government on the installment

plan, He still has about $1,500 to
pay.
BIG, AFFABLE Sen. "Wild Bill"
Langer, North Dakota Republican,
strode into the senate restaurant
the other day, toured the tables
shaking hands with fellow sena-
tors, and announced his candidacy
for president of the United States
on the Republican ticket.
"I'm going to run for president,
and I want your support," he told
each senator gravely.
Then, with a twinkle in his eye,
he added:
"I have an unbeatable platform:
I am older thaniEisenhower. I am
sicker than Eisenhower. And I
need the rest more than he does."

IT'S STRICTLY a family feud,
but Jonathan Wainwright V,
son of the Corregidor hero, was
blocked from heading the Kings

Irony is that Stuyvesant was
elected to Congress largely by the
famous name of Jonathan's father.
IDAHO'S MOODY Sen. Herman
Welker has been button holing
southern senators, begging them to

Johnson, working behind the

bill's sponsors about Welker's
lobbying and urged that they get
busy counteracting it. He handed
a long list of senators to Washing-
ton's busy Sen. Warren Magnuson.
Magnuson hesitated. He had some
hectic TV hearings to preside over.
Suddenly Montana's Sen. Mike
Mansfield barged in and announ-
ced to Magnuson: "I just read on
the news ticker that the Republi-
cans have picked your opponent

"There's no rationale (and the

states that the city should offer

TODAY AND TOMORROW:
Khrushchev Embarrasses Western Reds'

By J. M. ROBERTS
A FEW MORE NAMES have been added to
the'centuries-old list of men who have
died for the liberty of Poland, and there will
be more..
There has never been any question that the
ashes strewn over Poland by Germany and
Russia had merely banked the ancient embers.
There has never been any doubt of Polish
patriotism, or of the anticommunism of her
Catholics.
There are several highly interesting angles
to the Poznan demonstration.
One of the first things to remember is that
these Poles have received special inducements
and special treatment from the Communist
government as "colonizers" of former German
territory from which millions of Germans were
deported after the war. In general, the former

German city of Posen is probably better off
than most Polish cities. Yet its people are the
first to cry in chorus, "Russians, get out."
SHREWDLY, they asked a big delegation
of Western visitors to their trade fair to tell
the world of their troubles and their aspira-
tions.
One of the acts of the rioters was to destroy
the apparatus by which their Red rulers have
jammed Western radio broadcasts. They have
been listening, and they want to hear more
from the world of truth, only 200 miles away,
yet so very, very far.
The air of uncertainty prevading world
Communist ranks these days was epitomized by
the failure of some police and soldiers to go
into action aginst the rioters, Since the ban-
ning of Stalinist police terror, what officer can
be sure of the limits of his power, or that he
will not be classed as a Beria leftover? How
many of them would support the government
in a real revolt.
IN A LAND which once produced wheat for
export the cry for bread went up, and a
demand for higher wages.The Reds began to
reap the inevitable harvest from false promises
of better living, standards, enunciated from
Moscow only recently.

By WALTER LIPPMANN
WB are now hearing from the
Western Communist leaders
on the subject of Khrushchev's
campaign to degrade Stalin. They
are profoundly embarrassed, hav-
ing for many years been Stalin's
obedient servitors, now denying
that his rule was a reign of terror
and then justifying the purges and
executions. They cannot plead, as
Khrushchev has, that he served
the tyrant because he was afraid
of him.. Togliatti and Nenni in
Italy, Thorez in France, not to
mention the little Communist pub-
lications in Britain and the United
States, did not have to embrace
Stalinism. Now that Stalin is be-
ing demolished ,in Moscow, they
have lost face and they look very
foolish indeed.
To make matters worse. Khru-
chshev has shown how little
thought he gives to them by not
taking the trouble to send them a
copy of his famous diatribe, The
leaders of Western communism
have been reduced, as they bitterly
complain, to finding out what

now made by Khrushchev have
been published long since. The
only thing about them that is
essentially new is that they are
now officially confirmed by Stal-
in's successor at the head of the
Communist Party. Men like Tog-
liatti, Thorez, Nenni have been the
victims of the hoax, not because
they have been intimidated and
not, I would think, because they
have been bribed, but because
they were in the grips of their own
will to believe.
To believe what? That the revo-
lution in Russia was showing the
way, and must therefore be fol-
lowed, to the construction of that
society which they, and European
Socialists, had learned to believe
in. They became the dupes not
only of Stalinism but of Leninism
as well because they misjudged
the essential character of the
Soviet experience.
AS DISCIPLES of Karl Marx
they should have been on their
guard. For Marx taught that So-
cialism would develop out of the

ward country. What Stalin did, atI
the sacrifice of the happiness of a
whole generation, was to organize
an economy which would enable
Russia to compete in productivity
with Western capitalism. In the
Stalin era the objective was not to
lead the West to Socialism but to
make Russia catch up with the
West's industrialism.
It was an extreme form of self-,
deception for a Socialist like Nen-
ni to look for leadership to a
country which had never developed
a modern industrial system and
had never known the civil liberties
and the democratic institutions of
the West. The most intelligent way
to conceive the Soviet system is, it
seems to me, as a successful dem-
onstration of how, by ignoring the
human costs, a country that is
primitive in its economy and un-
used to constitutional government,
can be industrialized rapidly and
developed into a powerful state.
If we conceive Soviet commun-
ism in this way-as a gospel for
the primitive-we have, I think,
the key to a number of puzzling

ests and sensibilities of the West-
ern peoples.
* * *
IN A SPEECH he made the other
day in San Francisco, Mr. Dulles
remarked that while the Russian
Communists now "dissociate them-
selves from Stalin, not even this
much gain' is registered by the
Chinese Communist Party." The
explanation may well be that the
Chinese are still Stalinists because
they are still in the early stage of
their own forced industrialization,
of which the target date is 1967.
The Russians, according to this
view of things, have now achieved
a formidable industrial system,
and have therefore outlived Stalin-
ism.
To take this view is to regard
Stalinism as in its essence the
totalitarian terror required for an
inhuman purpose-to compel a
generation to sacrifice itself in or-
der to transform a primitive pea--
sant economy into an advanced
industrial economy.
With this in mind, we can best
appreciate the crucial importance
to the future of mankind of what
