During most of the | 82nd Congress, the Democrats have controlled with \50 votes to 46, but the margin has been 49-47, and | only a hair-line victory by Senator Benton in Con- necticut in 1950 kept is from being tied, 48-48. | Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois, the G )senatmml campaign committee chairman, | party will take over by winning three or four l)vmn- | eratic seats — if they hold all of their own. That, however, is a big “if.” Here's why: The ninety-six Senators are elected for six-year | terms, with thirty-two of the total usually facing the | voters every two years. Of the thirty-two normally- | expiring scats at stake in 1952, nineteen are ¢ | held by Republicans and only thirteen by Democrat Furthermore, of these thirteen Democratic Senator five are from one-party Southern states.

All the others cah expect hard fights. The reason: These Senators were swept into office easily on the tidal wave of 1946, which gave the G. O. P. command of the Eightieth Congress. That was an off year, when no nt was elected, and the Republicans have shown gains; in such off years — 1938, 134 46, 1950.

They're afraid we may lose patience, pull the trigger and start something the entire world will be sorry for. lfie&&"»fi““ the_principal develop- ments which cause our fellow Am- ericuns south of the Rio Grande tz feel concerned: 1. Gen. Ridgway’s demands in the Korean truce talks. Measured by the public reaction in Latin Amer-! the Communists have done a much abler job than the UN, at least propaganda-wise, in making capital of the Korean negotiations. One veteran South American diplo- mat—a lifelong anti-Red—expressed it this way: “I can’t see that Ridgway has made a single concession so far.| You don’'t get an armistice that, way. Neither do you convince other people of your conciliatory aims by | calling your opponent a liar and a crook every day for three months.” ACHESON'S PESSIM!SM 2. Secretary Acheson’s pessimism and impatience at the Paris meet- ing. What troubled the Latins most was his apparent unwillingness to explore the possibilities of any for- mula at all. “Mr. Acheson has always been a diplomat’s diplomat,” said the for- eign minister of one American Re- public. “Even when he knew a cer- tain move hadn’t one chance in a hundred of succeeding, he'd often undertake it just to satisfy his col- leagues. “But his attitude was entirely dif~ ferent in Paris. When he made it very plain he had no faith that the 60-nation assembly could ac- complish anything, a group of us set about trying to follow out Pre- sident Auriol's suggestion for a four-power conference, but within the framework of this UN session. “However, Secretary Acheson was quite cold. We didn't even dare to put it forward publicly until after he had left for Rome. You couldn’t help feeling that he had just about lost all hope for peace.” 3. Ambassador Philip Jessup's ness in dealing with smaller nations. In contrast to Eleanor Roosevelt and Warren Austin, who alw ay courteous attention to representatives of the lesser powers specially the Latin Americans— Jessup has shown little interest in their views. In fact, one distinguished South American delegate, ex-President of his country, confided to an associate after a brief interview with Jessup that he had found the latter “re- markably unsympathetic.” ANGRY LATINS 4. U. S. refusal to back Uruguay’s candidacy for the vacant court seat. This really shocked and angered the Latins, animously agreed to support Uru- guay as a successor to Mexico. The precedent of “geographical distri- bution,” now accepted in akmost all UN agencies, was on their side; but the U.S. delegation unexpectedly favored India’s claim to the seat.
