What Does Mikoyan Want?
While Soviet Deputy Anasta- MiKOvan
is out galirwanting around the Lniterl
States, the guesswork goes on as to v. ha’
the real purposes of his-trip are.
Certainly he did hot c0me here to give
away anything. His brief comments to
newsroen on the Berlin situation suggest
the Kremlin will not hack off from its po-
sition—that the West get out — un!*--- it.
gets some kind of face-saver i:i return.
The idea bobs up again and again tha*
Mikoyan’* visit somehow is de-igned tu,.
enhance Premier Khrushchev’* prestige on
the occasion of the Jan. 1~ < omnium.'’
party congress in the Soviet l nion.
This has a good deal of plausibility, in-
asmuch as Khrushchev is known to be s'ill
deeply engaged in the struggle for su-
premacy within the Kremlin. Anything
Khrushchev can do to '“look big", ewn bv
proxy, may bo figured to stand him in well
for the party tests.
Naturally, any such purpose Would be
most fully advanced if Mikoyan were able
to come away from America with some-
kind of concrete gain—some concesison
front President Eisenhower or Secretary of
State Dulles. Perhaps th*- biggest hope L
for the opening of L\ S.-Soviet negotia-
tions on Berlin and wider German arid Eu-
ropean issues.
Dulles has not indicabd publicly
whether Mikoyan* in their hour and a half
talk, probed in this direction. When Mi-
koyan sees the President we may get a
clearer notion what he is actually up to
here.
It is always possible, of course, that
one secondary purpose is to sample the
American mopd and temper, to see just
how firm it is on matters like Berlin; a
continuing strong Western defense, broad-
er trade relations w ith Russia and its satel-
lies. Not many Russians of top rank have
ventured to investigate the American cli-
mate. They have preferred to stay home
and intoxicate themselves with their own
distortions of the U. 8.
Evidently the Russians have decided to
try to make some incidental public rela-
tions hav out of Hikoyan’s visit, though a
man of his grim visage has a tough time
being convincing as he hands candy to
kids.
Still, this is obviously not just a good-
will tour. And w# have yet to learn
whether any solid international good can
come of it.

IN EVERY WAR BIT ONE. By Eugene
Kinkead.j Norton. 3.75.
In July 1950 American ground force* for the
first time went into action against North Korean*.
Only four days later, one of our men who win
made prisoner committed an art of collaboration
with the Communist foe.
It was the first of an incredible and shocking
list of such actions. About 30 per cent of Ameri-
can Army men taken prisoner in that conflict were
guilty of at least “technical" collaboration. But
according to the Department of the Army, "one
man in every seven, or more than 13 per cent,
Was guilty of serious collaboration"---writing dis-
loyal tracts, or agreeing to spy or organize for
communism after the war.
As puzzled as everybody by this shameful rec-
ord, the Army made an extensive study, and
Kinkead has had access to the disturbing findings.
This is not a meloramatic story of villiany and
evil, but a sear ing account of the grubbing, petty
erosion of the manliness in man. We who are ac-
customed to revering the returned prisoner as a
kind of hero were confronted for the first time in
history by a new type of individual—uneducated,
uninformed, undisciplined, unloya] to his native
land, uncooperative with his comrades, unable to
adapt to a rugged form of life. Not a man of
ours managed to escape; some 75 swore to spy
for communism; our death rate was phenomenally
high; only 13 per cent of our Army men remained
completely unshaken by enemy pressures.
That this was a peculiarly American fuiling is
seen in the fact that the Turks, for instance, piled

Washington—(XEA)—Change of House of Representatives Re-
po' I. an leadership from Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr., of Massachusetts
to Rep. Charles A.^Halleck of Indiana will probably make~4iUle dts-
cernab.i* d.ffereme in legislative er.d results.
Martin, a bachelor, lived his job and worked at it from early morn
to iate night Haileck is more gregarious but he can't work any
harder n- show more loyalty to- {’resident 'Eisenhower.
ThiV in no sense considered a victory for Republican progres-
sive or liberals. Tije, Martin has been more of a Taft Republican,
if anyone -ucceeded to the title of "Mr. Republican” after Taft's
death, it was Joe Martin. He was always for the party.
New HOI’ leader Halleck has been identified more with the
Willkie, Dewey and Eisenhower wings of the party, though they hav e
ail handed him letter disappointments. But in his personal views
ar.d voting record, Halleck has been every bit as much of a conserva-
tive as Martin.
What got Martin in the end was not a matter of issues but of
age. Martin turned 74 on the day before last November’s election.
Halleck was 58’last Aug. 22. The job of riding herd on even a min-
ority party of only 154 congressmen i- nothing for a man of Mar-
tin's years.
His defeat for the HOP leadership by Representative Halleck—■
hi- lieutenant in many a political battle — is probably the bitterest
l-low in Martin's career; marked by personal success but many party
defeats.
•Just after the Republicans returned to control in 1953, the story
goes that. Representative Martin was reviewing GOP patronage pros-
pect-. He had just been made speaker.
The political plum rrop wasn’t too good picking. The Democrats
had been in power for 20 years. They had transferred a lot of their
political appointee jolt holders into the civil service. They were New
Dealers, but couldn't be fired. A lot of HOP-job seekers were doomed
to disappointment.
Martin has just missed complete political success more than any*
other leader.
He has been in Congress, 34 years, continuously. He has been
Republican leader in the House for 20 years: But he has been speaker
for only four years, 1947-48 and 1953-54.
He was mentioned as u Republican presidential possibility sev-
jeral times, but he never got many convention votes outside his own
state delegation.
Martin always denied that he .had presidential ambitions. He
[contented himself with being permanent chairman of the last five
jf/DP. conventions which chose others.
, Martin was also chairman of Republican National Committee
for the Trorrl JGy 1940 to November 1942. He ran the GOP campaign for
- | Wendell Willkie, which was another defeat.

v\
Washington, Jan. 13 l.fl —The
Senate has passed a compromise
bill falling far short of what back-
ers of a strong anti-filibuster
move had wanted. By a vote of
72-22, the Senate voted that two-
thirds of the members present and
voting can choke off a filibuster.
This is the compromise suggested
hy Senate Democratic Leader Lyn-
don Johnson of Texas and oppos-
ed by a bi-partisan anti-filibuster
group. That group had been de-
feated earlier on 2 key votes.
The leader of the anti-filibuster
group—Democratic lSenator Pau
Douglas of Illinois—calls the vote
a great victory for southerners
who have used marathon talks in
the past to block civil rights legis-
lation. But the leder of southern
Democrats, Senator Richard Rus-
sell of Georgia, calls it "a.sad
day. He insists no rules change
at all was needed to curtail free
speech in the Senate. Russell says,
“It is a sad day when the Senate
demeans itself by imposing new
restraints"
The old rule required a vote
of at least GC members, or two-
thirds of the total membership of
the Senate to stop a filibuster.
The new rule requires a two-
thirds vote of the members pres-
ent and voting. Xorthern and
western senators opposing filibus-
ters railed this plan little better
than the present rule, and say it is
without meaning. This group put
forth a proposal to let a hare ma-
jority of the senators choke off
filibusters. It was defeated 67-28.
A proposal to raise the figure to
three-fifths of those voting lost
out, 58 to 3fi. The Johnson com-
promise was then passed.
Johnson tol<5 the Senate the
changes now made are substantial
but are not punitive on the one
hand nor meaningless on the oth-
er. He said, “It is the will of the
people that is reflected here.”
In saying the southerners were
victorious, Senator Paul Douglas
added, “They have been able not
only to blunt but to reverse the
drive for civil rights and to get
an effective anti-filibuster rule.1’
