It is not merely a question of Hiss, who has been convicted of perjury and to whom S Acheson has promised his contin- ued friendship. We are not surpris- { ed hy this announcement any mg than we were surprised by the news that there was every type of un- desirable among the advisers to ~+Rnow - that ™~ the™ Newberry Senator d l\mhl his con- “The plain fact was that Newberry was wrongly unjustly convicted and viction was set aside.” The Hughes leiter brought just as loud protests from the Demo- crats as the Acheson defense of Hiss has from Republicans. Loudest Ln protest was Cordell Hull, later cretary of State himself, but then chairman of the Democratic Na- tional Committee. Hull proclaimed: “If Secretary Hughes does not seat in the Senate was bought, he is the only intelligent person in America | the late President.” Aaron Burr and Hiss Acheson’s defense of Hiss has a lot of interesting precendents in U. S. History, They include: Andrew Jackson’s defense of Aaron Burr; Charles Evans Hughes' defense of Senator Newber Taft’s early de- fense of Richard Ballinger—later silenced; and Harry Truman's de- fense of Boss Tom Pendergast. The late Franklin Roosevelt un- doubtedly would have used a dif-| ferent strategy from Acheson’s. He | operated on the theory that such high office as Secretary of State or President must be kept clear of embarrassing friendships, that a good field commander must re- main behind the lines while his troops—and friends—were necessary casualties in battle. But here are some famous ])el-: sonages and incidents in which they differed with FDR's strategy: Harry Truman continued his loy- alty to Kansas City’s Boss Tom Pendergast, after the latter served | a jail sentence, flew in a govern- | ment plane to his funeral, and| promptly ousted U. S. Attorney| Maurice Milligan, who convicted | Pendergast, immediately after Tru- | man entered the White House. | Unguestionably Truman’s loyalty | to Pendergast has hurt him polit. ically, but he has snapped his fing: ers at public opinion. Note—It may have been the Pen- dergast incident that led Truman to support Acheson when he inform- ally offered to resign over the Hiss incident three weeks ago. Though | the State Department issued a carefully worded denial, here is exactly what happened. Acheson dropped in at the White House late in the afternoon shortly after the Hiss statement, and Truman began to tell him, half-jokingly, what a barrage of criticism he had been getting. Acheson remarked that he would be glad to get out if he was causing any embarrassment which the President told his Sec- | retary of State to stand pat and not to pay any attention “yapping SOB's.” Champion of Newberry Charles Evans Hughes, cool, calm, and cautious Secretary of State did pretty much what Acheson did when Michigg enator H. Newberry was convicted of vio- lating the corrupt practices act Newberry had been elected to the Senate in a contest with the | ‘late Henry Ford in which Newberry spent a great deal of money and later was convicted. Hughes, then in private practice, defended him, and the case was appealed to the Sup- reme Court which set aside conviction. By this time Hughes had become Secretary of State, but nevertheless wrote a letter stating: i | cribes to| to those Truman | e lone | —ANN AKERVICK who does not know that fact.” Inckson’s Promotion Andrew Jackson—When Aaron | Burr was being tried for treason in Richmond, Andrew Jackson was one of the few to support him un- der extremely unpopular circum- stances. Albert J. Beveridge des- | the Richmond incident as follows: “A tall, lank, uncouth-looking person.age with long locks of hair hanging over his face. .Mounted the steps of a corner grocery and harangued the glowering assemblage { that gathered in front of him. His daring and unmistakable air of danger to anyone who disputed him, prevented violent interruption certain to have been visited upon one less bold. He praised Burr as brave man and a patriot who would have led Americans against the hated Spanish. “Thus Andrew Jackson of Ten- nessee braved and cowed the hos- tile mob that was demanding and impatiently awaiting the wndtm» nation and execution of (Burr)." Note—As a result of this defense President Madison held up Jack- son’s military promotion during the war of 1812. William Howard Taft—On Sept. 13, 1909, President Taft wrote a letter to Secretary of the Interior Richard Ballinger, completely ab- |solving him in the Alaskan land | scandals. In 1911, however, Ball- inger resigned following an inves- tigation by Louis Brandeis which disclosed that the letter of 1909 actually was written by Ballinger's attorney, Oscar Lawler. The incident led to the historic split between Taft and Teddy Reosevelt, Years later, Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, inciden- | tally a strong Teddy Roosevelt man, | d vered records which led him to the deceased Ballinger.

Both Conservative leader Win- ston Churchill and Labor Prime Minister Clement Aftlee expressed confidence in victory. The struggle is between these two major parties and there seemed little prospect oi the Liberal third party making much of a showing. The Liberals would become important should the vote be close between Tories and Labor. In such an event Liberals might join with either party to form a coalition government.
