Gore Worries
Unnecessarily
From Houston Chronicle
Sen Albert Gore 'D. Tenn.i ap-
pears to ne unduly alaimed over
the possible influence of public op-
inion polls on the voters of the na-
tion He has gone so far as to sug-
gest "an investigation." holding
that the polls are mischievous. How-
he would go about such an investi-
gation is not clear
But Sen Gere surely is old e-
nough tc remember the polls of
1948 — four vears before he was ele-
cted to the United States Senate.
They were unanimous, in declaring
Gov Thomas E. Dewey of New-
York a shoo-m victor over Presi-
dent Truman vvhc was seeding his
first election Apparently, these
polls had no "extremely unjustifi-
ed influence on the election that
year.
Then there is the classic case con.
cerning the Literary Digest of ano-
ther generation. The Digest polls
m th^ days between two world
wars were regarded infallible Year
ctter election year, they compla-
cently foretold the outcome But
like Dewey, thev too their infalli-
bility for granted
Came 1836. and the literary Di-
gest polls showed F D. R. had no

★ WASHINGTON COLUMN ★
At Stake: A Continent
In the Congo Crisis
. BY PETER EDSON*
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise As n.
WASHINGTON—(NEA)—United Nations forces in the Congo
may have not more than two weeks in which to establish their
authority and get on top ol the chaotic African situation.
Tfiic challenge has developed from the rifle-butt head bash-
ings administered to American. Canadian and Swedish troops
by undisciplined detachments of Congolese revolutionists.
I N prestige has suffered. And there is gTowing sentiment in
Washington that tins prestige must be re-established.
The future of not just the former BeJeian Congo, but of all
central Alrica is considered at stake And if the U.N. cannot
controltbe Congo to guide its new government, future useful-
.cess of U.N. in other crises may be jeopardized.
SO FAR. THERE HAS BEEN NO expression of lack of confi-
d«nce in U N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. He it
fully cognizant of what is involved. His sense of timing in han-
dling similar situations in North Africa, the Middle East and
Southeast Asia has been good. His touch is cautious, correct.
U.N. troops in the Congo number under 20.000 men. From
half a dozen countries, they're mostly North Africans. Though
they are not an experienced, unified command, thev are be-
lieved to be superior to the 25.000 native Congolese enlisted
men from the Belgian-trained but now officerless Force Pub-
Lque. But up to now the UN troops have lacked authority to
shoot to defend themselves or to maintain order.
As this is WTitten. no U.N Security Council meeting has been
called to consider this matter. But it could come any day or
hour. Italian Ambassador Egidio Ortona is chairman of the
Security Coancii in September.
The Con^o could be the first big test for U.S. Ambassador
James J. Wadsworth as he takes over from Henry Cabot Lodge.
There has been some hope in United Nations circles that the
Congo's government under Premier Patrice Lumumba might
collapse. If he is thrown out by his own parliament, there will
be better prospects lor U.N. dealing with President Kasavubu.
NEW REPORTS FROM AMERICAN OBSERVERS in the Con-
go reveal deteriorating conditions. For the past year the United
States has been guided by Belgian assurances that transition to
rtative government would be without incident. That was wrong.
It is now revealed that Communists have been quietly making
inroads in the Congo for more than five years.
Native leaders were taken to Communist bloc countries for
indoctrination Guerrilla warfare leaders were given special
-training with Communist forces in Southeast Asia.
When the Congo independence agreement was negotiated in
Brussels early this year. Belgian Communist party leaders took
the Congolese in hand and coached them carefully.
Following this, more than 100 white Communists from Rus-
sia and the satellite countries were moved into the Congo as
advisers to the new native government. Belgians were ousted.
The Communists are not now given credit for pushing the
buttons that panicked the Belgians and brought on the revolt,
but the Reds have used every trick to create chaos.
The Winner Will Have
A Big Job On His Hands
Abileni Reporter - News
That must have been quite a sight
—Harry S. Truman personally con-
ducting John F. Kennedy on a tour
of the Truman museum at Inde-
pendence, Mo. There was a let of
politics in it. naturally; the tormer
president lost no opportunity to
take digs at the party he hopes a
Democratic administration will re-
place in power. There was some
geed sense behind rhe politics, how.
evei
The pood sense and the polities
got mixed up when Truman show-
ed his party's standard bearer a
sucession of displays illustrating
Kansas, the Republican candidate.
When the ballots had been counted,
Landcn had collected but 40 per
cent of the popular vote for the
worst defeat ot a presidential can-
didate in the history of the country.
F. D. R. was inaugurated and the
Digest folded on Feb. 19. 193£, its
latt poll over.
Sen Gore is worrying himself un-
necessarily about Dr. George Gal-
iup. Elmo Roper ana company.
the various tasks a president must
handle. "You'll see vvhatyou've got
on your hands,' said Harry to
Jack. But he couldn't resist adding.
"A president has got to do them
all — unless he just plays golf all
the time.
Or plays the piano. Or goes fish-
ing, as Hoover did; or reads mys-
teries and collects stamps, as the
second Roosevelt did It's all in
the way you lock at it.
But there was the good sense:
"You'll see what you've got on
vour hands." That is something
nctn Kennedy and Richard II. Ni-
xon shouid be profoundly aware
ot. The campaign is not strictly a
political game, an elaborately com-
plex and arduous striving for a
great office. There is the great oi-

Hatcher Rites
Said Saturday
Mrs Addie Belle Hatcher, 82, re-
sident of Stephens County for 72
years, died at 10:55 a. m. Friday
in Stephens Memorial Hospital a
short time after she was admitted.
She had suffered a heart attack
at her home at 203 E. 2nd St. about
10:20 a. m.
Born July 20, 1878, in Lee County
she came to Stephens County with
her parents in 1888. They lived in
the Wayland community until 1940,
when they moved to Breckenridge.
She was married to W. H. Hatch-
er in Breckenridge in 1945. He died
in 1948.
Funeral was held at 3 p. m. Sa-
turday in the Rose Ave., Baptist
Church, where Mrs. Hatcher was
a member. Rev. Luther Higgin-
■WASHINGTON — Vice Presi-
dent Richard Nixon is out of the
hospital today, ready tc resume his
drive tor the presidency. His Dt-
mocratic opponent. Senator John
Kennedy, wound up an intensive
swing down the length ot Nixon's
home state of California.
Nixon left Walter Reed Hospital
Friday night after an ll-da> la.vup
from a knee infection. On monday.
he'll start a 9.U00-inile tour ot 14
states from Baltimore, after a
breaicfast sendott from President
Eisenhower and other G. O. P.
leaders.
With Nixon back on his feet,
Kennedy unleashed a tew personal
cracks at the Vice President. He
had avoided 'direct criticism while
Nixon was hospitalized.
Kennedy told a crowd ouiside a
jammed auditorium in l.os Ange-
les last night:
"If you want to stand still under
Vice President Nixon, vote Repub-
lican. If you want to move, vote
Democratic."
Inside, ihe crowd yelled approval
when Kennedy said "I think this
state of California is a good place
to settle this election, right in Vice
President Nixon's own backyard
I've come 6,000 miles and I'm not
chasing butterflies. I'm aliei your
support."
Again. Kennedy grappeld directly
with a campaign problem that is
likely to dog him until election da> ,
his Roman Catholic religiou.
At an airport new conference he
was asked about a statement ot a j
group of protestant leaders headed i
by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale who J---,0 a„ Ameril.ans."

questioning "iu> loyalty io tlie Uni-
ted States, I think he has question-
ed my ability to fulfill by consti-
tutional oath."
Kennedy added that he's convin-
ced separation of church and siaU
is good tor the country. Hi- said:.
"I believe in that just as strongly
as Dr. Peale or anynody elsie."
Kennedy also took up the civil
rights issue, declaring the fiepub-
liean party lor eight years "has
failed to take one constructive step

is a thing for both candidates to
think about even amidst the bruis-
ing political conflict in which they
are now engaged .
