Red Pressure Tactics, Now

the I
ed—at lets risk—-in pursuing the kind of
political and economic combat which has
come to be known as the Cold War.
There is plenty of evidence that free-
world diplomats understand this. They
seek to build defenses in this field every
bit as stout as those deemed necessary on
the military front. But they suffer handi-
caps.
Millions of people, particularly in long-
beleaguered Europe, seem weary of any
sort of struggle. They seek anxious ref-
uge in neutralism, or, in their almost piti-
for tranquility, are too ready
Soviet professions of good will,
other hand, some cannot see
as anything but military. They
tent of all expenditures not strict-
ly for defense purposes, or closely related.
They view money spent for economic war-
fare as vdown the drain.”
Yet the record of Russia’s performance
can afford no real comfort to either view-
point. The Kremlin’s declarations of good
intentions are phony, and Soviet leaders
demonstrate this not so much by occasion-
al attacks on American or Allied planes
as by their relentless economic and politi-
cal aggressions.
Russia^ of course, applies its pressures
everywhere. But it sees its greatest op-
portunities on underdeveloped continents
like Asia and Africa, where aching pover-
ty and nationalistic ferment combine to
stir the populace to action.
In most Of these lands the Russian
army can play no active revolutionary
role. Many times the native Communist
movement is itself small. The impetus to
rebellion must come from others more in-
fluential. But once trouble boils over, the
Reds are adept at hijacking the revolt and
making it their own. This is the essence
of their technique—egging others to act
and then seizing the fruits of their Initia-
tive.
In past months many sore spots have
been eased — in Egypt, Iran, Trieste,
4Guatemala. But the great backward con-
tinents are still in turmoil. We have no
grounds for complacency.
We hold it in our power to lead them
toward economic betterment and pplitica!
self-fulfillment. If we act boldly and con-
sistently to aid them, these stirring peo-
ples will rise to become economically
healthy, independent, free.
If we shrink from this responsibility,
if we pretend the struggle does not exist
l or that it is purely military in prospect,
then Russia will move in to hijack and
warp their surging drive for self-determi-
nation.
• Should that happen on any large scale,
Asia and Africa, and with them much of
our own national security, would likely
go down the drain. To many that will
seem a fir more fearsome prospect than
| the risk of our dollars to prevent it.

New Orleans.—Mra. Paul Butler, wife of the
new chairman of the Democratic National Com-
mittee keeps the family happy, her husband says,
. by “doing all her own cooking.’*
Friends of Mrs. Butler describe her aa an at-
tractive, girlish-looking mother of five, a model
homemaker and as charming and aggressive a poli-
. tician as her husband.
“She chauffeured Butler some 50,000 miles
last year on his campaigns for the party and is
avidly interested in what’s going on in the world
of polities anywhere, raid Mrs. lues Scholl,
tibnal commltteewoman from. Indiana, who intro-
duced Butler after hts election hfre. Mrs. Scholl,
defatted to her own campaign for Congress in
November, is a long-time friend of the Biitlcrs.
“They live in South Bend in a gorgeous house,”
went on Mrs, Scholl “It’s a modern two-story
brick. Mrs. Butler has .a flair for decorating. She
carried her color schemes out to the Nth degree,
even to the telephones. The girls’ room is rose
and so is the telephone.’’
Butler, slim, white-haired, 4”-year-old lawyer
who looks more like a Teacher 'than a politician,
married the former Anne B. Briscoe of West Hat-
field. Mass., in MMWv
"The children," he told me, “are Maureen
Anne, 19, a sophomore at St. Mary’s College, Notre
Dame; Paul Jr., 18, a freshman at Notre Dame,
and Karen Anne, 16, a junior at St. Mary's Acade-
my, South Bend."
Both the girls bear their mother’s name, Anne
—"spelled With an e—” he said.
“Then there’s Kevin James, 15, a sophomore
at Campion in Prairie du Chien, Wis., and Brian
S., IS, in the eighth grade at St. Joseph’s school.

OUT OUR WAY

The Democratic party with a
majority of seats in the House
(232 to 203) and Senate (48 to
47) took oVer responsibility for
organizing both bodies of the 84th
Congress. They also have the re-
sponsibility for the legislative
program of the Congress oduring
the next two years.
President Eisenhower becomes
the third chief executive in mod-
ern times to have an opposition
party in control of the legisla-
lative branch during his tenure
in office. The most recent parallel
occurred In November, 1946,
when President Truman was con-
fronted with Republican majori-
ties in the House and Senate.
During''this time, bipartisanship
prevailed in the field of foreign
affairs and not in domestic af-
fairs. In 1930, during President
Hoover's Administration, the
Democrats gpined a majority in
the House, but not in the Senate.
Foreign affairs and national de-
fense were of little importance
then as compared with their rat-
ing today. Domestic issues were
of paramount concern; and in
this field, thq House and the Ex-
ecutive were miles apart. In the
1932 elections, the Democratic
party took over the Senate as well
as the Presidency on the basis of
domestic economic grievances
against the Hoover Administra-
tion. %
Organisation of Congrats
Democrats and Republic*** cau-
cused before the new Congress met
and chose their Respective party
leaders At the opening session of
the 84th Congress, the majority
party slate was elected by a voice
vote to fill, this elective. posts of
the House, which include: Speak-
er, Chaplain, Clerk, Sergeant at
Arms, Doorkeeper and Postmas-
ter.,
The biggest and most important
part of the organizing task of the
new Congress consists of setting
up the /committees, or the “legsi-
ALLEY OOP - >
lative workshops of- Congress”, as
they are often called. This will
take up a good deal of the time
of the Congress during the next
few weeks.
Thera are three types of com-
mitees. The standing committee
is a reglar permanent unit of Con-
gress. Banking and Currency
Committee, of which I am » Mem-
ber, is a standing committee. Se-
lect committees are established by
resolution for a limited period and
B temporary purpose. The House
Small Business Committee, whose
.chairmanship I expect to assume,
is a select committee. Joint com-
mittees, composed of Members
from each House, are established
by statue. The Joint Committee
oh the Economic Report and Joint
Committee on Defense Produc-
tion (the Watchdog Committee)
are two of the existing Joint Com-
mittees. I am a Member of both
and expect to serve as Vice Chair-
man of the former.
Schadal* For tk* Congrae*
Indications are that for the
first 30 days the new Congress
will pass no importtant hills. The
President presented his legislative
program before the Congress in
his State of the Union message
on January 6th. The Budget mes-
sage is to be presented on Janu-
ary 17, followed by several spe-
cial messages up to the highway
program message on January
Uth.
In addition to appropriation
bills, Congress wRl have to deal
with such issues as foreign policy,-
international economic policy, the
military reserve program, pay in-
creases Jar government workers
and the armed forces, review, of Boyce Houae
tax and agricultural legsilation
passed in the' 83rd Congress to
correct inequities where possible,
minimum wage legislation, Health
reinsurance, problems of small
business survival and the encroach-
relief and possible dust bowl em-
ergencies.
Farmer’* Concern i
^ There is developing growing bi-
partisan concern about the farm
situation among Members of the
House. Of immediate concern is
the continuing drop in farm in-
comes. Since 1951, farm income
ha9 dropped from {16-billion to a
little over |ll-billion in 1954. It
is expected to decline some more
in 1955. Efforts will be made to
wipe the Republican farm law off
the books and restore the non-
sliding 90 percent of parity price
supports. Representative Cooley,
of North Carolina, ‘ the incoming
Chairman of thle House Agricul-
ture Committee, believes such an
effort will get bipartisan support
among House Members, and a
rigid 9(1 percent support law- will
be passed. However, the outlook
for approval in the Senate is
doubtful at this juncture. Any
worsening of the farm picture
could change the Senate outlook
quickly.
Disturbing Trend
President EisenhowerJia* made
a fine prediction that we should
have a gross national product of
{500-billion a year in ton years.
This is a commendable declaration
on his part; however, since he
came into office, the gross na-
tional product has gone down over
{14-million on an annual basis.
This is disturbing. In order for our
country to remain prosperous and
afford an Adequate opportunity
for full employment) our gross
national product should go up
three or four percent a. year. The

tioa Council meeting In Paris., 1
ft may well be a shift from the cooing dove of peace to a more
threatening show of force, the secretary observed to his Press con-
ference, after reading a prepared statement on the results of the
Paris NATO Council aession. '
SECRETARY DULLES does not believe that this shift in Com-
munist tactics makes any difference or means any change In the
ultimate Soviet objective of world conquest.
He was asked what the effect would be If Soviet Russia should
carry out 1U new threats to break the 20-year alliance with Prance
and a similarity with Great Britain for mutual aid against a
new German aggression.
For answer the secretary recalled a long series of ineffective
threats made by Russia over the past 10 years in its effort to pre-
vent a build-up of western strength.
First were the Soviet threats against the Western European
countries to prevent them from joining the Marshall Plan.
This was followed by a similar attempt to prevent these countries
from ratifying the North Atlantic Treaty.
When Turkey and Greece joined NATO, there was another Soviet
bluff to prevent this further extension of the western mutual de-
fense alliance.
WHEN THE UNITED STATES. Britain and France proposed to
create the new Federal Republic of Germany put of their three
xpnes of occupation, the Russians tried to prevent it. Their threat
then was that this act would make impossible the ultimate uniflea-
tion of eastern Germany with the west. This was a bluff to stop
West Germany’s acceptance of Independent status, but it failed.
When the Japanese peace treaty was signed, Russia refused to
accept It. The Communists said that since this treaty violated the
armistice agreement, they would be free to resume hostilities against
Japan Of course the Russian^ haven’t taken this step at all. In-
stead, they are now trying tb establish more normal diplomatic and
trade relations with the Japanese. ^
RUSSIAN PRESSURE TACTICS are now being employed against
the western European nations who are on the verge of ratifying the
Paris agreements to rearm western Germany. They are being
berated in diplomatic notes for refusing to attend a Moscow-
Inspired, counter European security conference.
But having heard the Russian “Wolf?,” cry so often, the western
European countries are no longer frightened by it. This is not
taken to mean that western Europe can let down its guard.
As made evident by action taken at the NATO council meeting
in Paris, the western European governments now seem convinced
that the best way to meet Soviet threats is to maintain their own
defensive strength. By this they can resist any Communist external
pressures or internal subversion.
Lincoln. Abe listened patiently,
then smiled sadly and said, “She
bawled you out once; I have to
put up with it all the time.” The
grocer grinned and said no more.

It is said that Mrs. Abraham
Lincoln “bawled out” a grocery-
man in Springfield 111., so severely
ment of monopoly power, drought that the angry man complained to
hearfedly, and a tragedy indeed is
what had caused it.
Some time during last night,
somebody in too big’ a hurry to
be human drove a car into a small,
graceful cat-shape burring across
the street. This poor broken thing
dragged. herself to qur door, and
this morning we found her, hud-
dled in agony, bleeding' from the
nose and mouth. We took her to
the vet as fast as we could, but it
was too late. All he could do we
end the pain forever.
' So my little girl crla'd, and I
might* add that I cried too. A pet
cat can be part of a family, and

where, when she was still herself a
kitten. A while later she got very
sick, but she would always get out
of her box and stagger on wobbly
legs to be with Sarah as she play-
ed. She looked so weak and piti-
ful then that we named her Pony,
and frail and undersized she re-
mained to the end. Somebody,
however, was in no mood to have
mercy on an animal, large or
small, and Puny will no longer
purr before our stove, or faith-
fully follow her little midtress.
Where we live, two busy streets
come together: Oak and Gilmer.
Day and night the cars go tearing
by, heedlessly. Four- beautiful
cats, four tame and trusting little
creatures, h'ave been struck down
in front of our house, some to die
slowly in great pain, like Puny,
some inover to know what hit
them. But there is something
worse. W'ithin the last couple of
years, two children, who also were
too trusting, have been hit by cars
at this crossing, though by *a
miracle not badly hurt.
Each night I hear the cars race
by, and many, as they pass the
intersection, blow their horns. I
always wonder how they think a
blast of |ound can deflect a ton
or more of metal coming from the
other diraetion, if there chances
to be one at the moment. It is
'more like a challenge, and seems
to say: “Everybody and every-
thing had better get out oj the
way, for 1 am coming through.
Cats, dogs, men, Women, and
children, cars with the kgra* idea
as mine,sail are warned to get out
of the way or be run down!”
I do not know if a stop-light is
the answer. Cars'headed south on
both Oak and Gilmer are unable
to see south-bound, traffic on the
other street until they come to the
intersection itself, and for some
‘mysterious reason speed is the
general response to the problem.
Something desperately needs to be
done. . •
, As I saw little Puny dying this
mornlqg, I wondered. Will noth-
ing be done until some child is
found like this, huddled in agony
and bleeding from the mouth?
Yours very sincerely,
