ITORIALS
Untupermen
In our constant effort to avoid un-
derestimating the Soviet Union, we
thump hard on the size of the Russian
menace on the military, diplomatic
and economic fronts.
But just as there is grave danger in
underplaying the threat so is there
peril in blowing up the Soviet image
to unreal proportions.
We do not dare take the Russians
lightly. But neither is it wise to think
- Of them as supermen who have no
problems, can do no wrong from their
; viewpoint, and can operate with a lim-
itless treasury and boundless resourc-
es.
They do have grave problems and
they do function under sharp limits.
For all their brash boasts, they are not
dealing up money and materials from
a pit 50.000 feet deep. They can feel
the pinch the same as we. *
With us, it is always a question of
trying to build an adequate defense
and help our friends abroad without
curbing the rising living standard that
is one of the great hallmarks of our
freedom.
We have to be ready and willing
to make sacrifices in striking this bal-
ance, but we do not want to be ruin-
ous and self-defeating.
With the Russians, it is a question
not of pushing high living standards
higher but of getting any kind of de-
cent living level at all, after decades
of deliberately planned depression,
* aimed at giving the bulk of resources
' to a massive capital goods and mili-
tary effort.
v By their ruthless, unchanging com-
mitment to world conquest, the Krem-
lin leaders bind themselves to go on
laying out heavily fo r nuclear and
conventional arms. But also staring
them in the face is their other, newer
commitment to do something, finally,
for the ordinary Russian.
Premier Khrushchev and his team
are no makers of miracles. The pres-
sures are upon them. As we battle in-
flation and try to fit defense, aid and
domestic needs into one neat, balanc-
ed package, so the top Russians strug-
gle with their burden of costs.
In the view of New York Times an-
alyst Harrison Salisbury, this could be
the single biggest driving force urg-
ing Khrushchev on to the summit. He
needs a real easing of the arms load
to meet his commitments to the Rus-
sian people. The alternative might be
return to brutal Stalinist repression,
with diminishing productive results
and possibly real internal strife.
Whether or not this is Khrushchev’s
key motivation, there is no doubt the
conditions to stimulate it do exist. He
could use a big breather—and maybe
more than we.

The Russians know these words
and acts do not improve East-West
feeling. That is not their concern. In
diplomacy they are crude line-buck-
ers. They think they'll do better at
the coming foreign ministers’ and sum-
mit meetings if they show their muscle
in advance. They imagine that a flex-
ed bicep is pretty persuasive stuff.

FUN IN EUROPE. By Richard Harrity.
Duel, Sloan & Pearce. $3.95.
Harrity wanders from England’s pubs to
rich Greek yachtsmen in the Mediterranean,
visiting Dublin, Paris, Brussels, Vienna, Ber-
lin, Luxembourg, Venice, Athens and other
places. He has some odd bits of interesting
information, for instance about tailors, about
cars for hire, about plane service. But his
idea of %fun is pun, and even Europe isn't
worth a sentence like this: *‘Ah, it's a small i
whirl with 1’amour the merrier.”

___ NEA Washington Correspondent
Washington (NEA)— Democratic National Committee is
going into a couple of fancy finance promotion schemes to pay
off its 1956-58 debts and to raise around *960,000 for 1959. If
there’s a little left over for the 1960 too, nobody will be mad.
First is the ’‘750 Club.” The idea is to sign up 750 D«mo.
-prats to give $1,000 apiece and so pay off the party’s *760jlyo
debt. E. H. Foley, Washington lawyer who was treasury under,
secretary in Truman’s time, heads this up.
Principal attraction for members is that their subscription
—in addition to coming to the aid of their party in time of
need—will guarantee them n hotel reservation and two tickets
to the 1960 convention in Los Angeles.
President Roosevelt tried this idea back in 1844 to finance
the party in wartime. He called it the “One Thousand Club". The
plan then was 1,000 members at $1,000 each, to rats# a million.
But only 291 signed up.
At the ertd of the campaign, the One Thousand Club had
$3,400 in its treasury. Suggestions were made that the money
be turned over to Demacratic National Committee. The mem-
bers would have none of that. They came to Washington for the
1945 inaugural, 275 strong, and threw themselves a big dinner.
The bill was $6,155. They ended $2,755 in the red and just who
paid that tab never was cleared up.
The Democrats think they can do better this time. So far,
225 members have been enrolled, leaving 625 to get.
The second Democratic flyer will he the Harry S. 75th
birthday celebration May 8. This is a real gamble.
Mr. Truman is the only Democratic ex-president to reach
75 since James Buchanan in 1866. There was no celebration
then. This time the Democrats decided to do something. Mr.
Tinman went along with the idea, to help the party.
So a celebration is being built around a 90-minute closed-
circuit TV show. It will orginate in New York at a $100-a-plate
dinner in the Waldorf. It is being organized by Judge Sam Ros-
enman.
Speaker Sam Rayburn, Democratic National Chairman Paul
Butler and other biggies will be there too.
From New York the program will be networked to other
Democratic dinners, rallies and assorted clambakes now being
! organized as Jefferson-Jackson Day money raisings.
So far, 14 cities are on the hookup definitely. They include
| a Constitution Hall show in Washington at $20 a seat top, a $25
dinner in Boston with Texas Sen. Lyndon Johnson—not Sen-
as chief attraction. Also a Detroit rally with

More Red Muscling
‘ The harassment which Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushcrev said many times
would not occur in the Berlin corridor
has begun.
Russian authorities in Germany
suddenly have “discovered” that a
JG.OOO-foot celing exists in the author-
ized airlands between West German
soil and Bertm" aA<f that Western
planes are not supposed to fly above
that limit.
Actually, as both U. S. and British
officials quickly made clear, nothing
has ever been said about any ceilings
applying in the vital air corridors.
This is just one of those technical
devices the Soviet Union employs to
harass its adversaries. They cleverly
choose some point which to the
world’s millions, untutored in the de-
tails of the Berlin agreements, may
have a color of plausibility.
Blunter techniques are hard for the
Russians to set aside, however, and it
was perhaps inevitable that their
phony argument over a nonexistent
ceiling should be accompanied by the

of under 500,000 or $5,000 to cities over 500,000.
The cities will have to raise this money and pay it on the
