Rightist critics of tiie Peaceniks have been lambasting Johnson for allowing the Peacniks protests against the war in Vietnam to reach such dangerous proportions that they began to threaten the morale of our fighting forces. In each case, the critics of both Eisenhower and Johnson accused Communist-huntin- g the President of permitting partisan political attacks against his foreign policies to give aid and comfort to the enemy, which in each case was the Red Chinese, to strain our relations with our allies, hurt us abroad and cost American lives by prolonging similar wars in which our servicemen were engaged. McCarthyism grew out of the frustrations of the stalemated Korean War of 1950-5- 3 just as the wave of Vietnam protests grew out of the stalemated war in Vietnam which followed the War in Korea. Both divided the country. And then President Eisenhowers Republican party was split just as Democrats, including Congressional leaders, are now. Both the Korean and Vietnam protests ' developed widespread support from outside the traditional framework of our political parties and stirred groups to such frenzied, legally - questionable activity that it ended in McCarthys censure by Congress and threatens to throw many of the Peaceniks into present-da- y jail. In each instance, the President enjoyed more bipartisan support for his policies from the opposition political party than from his own. Indeed, General Eisenhower still lauds President Johnson for the support he gave him while Senate Democratic leader in halting partisan politics at the waters a edge and in developing national concensus on McCarthyism and the Korean War, just as President Johnson now relies heavily on former President Eisenhower to broaden his support for the war in Vietnam.

Eisenhower was determined not to degrade, the Presidency or upgrade McCarthy by answering his every attack. McCarthys excesses to force the President into a public quarrel merely aroused public opinion against him. Johnson, by forcing the Peaceniks to go to ever greater lengths to protest his Vietnam policies seems to be following a similar policy. The current widespread public war reaction to the be proof that he protests may is right. Eisenhowers tactic of steadfastly refusing to engage in a public slugfest with McCarthy proved right. It remains to be seen whether it will work for President Johnson, too, or if he will have to take stronger steps to meet his Peacenik critics than McCarthyism required. middle-of-the-ro- ad Dr. Ernest B. Christensen, head of the University of Utah Department of Chemical Engineering, has been elected a director of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, it was announced here today. Dr. Christiansen will travel to Philadelphia Dec. 4, for official installation ceremonies and a banquet honoring the directors. It will be the first time a U. of U. professor or any representative of chemical engineering circles in the Intermountain West has held the post. The A.I.Ch.E. is the worlds largest society for chemical engineers. In all, it includes some 100,000 members. Each of the 12 board of directors members is elected for a three-yea- r term. Christiansen was chosen from a field of 11. He received his education at the University of Utah, University of Michigan and the University of Delaware and is a member of Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi and Sigma Xi. He is also an active member of the American Chemical Society and the American Society for Engineering Education. Before coming to the U. of U. he was employed by E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.; the Department of Engineering Research, University of Michigan; Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative Association; U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey and Denver Diamond Drilling Co. He taught graduate and undergraduate courses in chemical engineering and supervised reDr. search work at the University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, before joining the U. of U. faculty in 1947.

KENNEDY (D.-Mas- s.) Senator Kennedy Is Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Refugees and Escapees Behind the gunsmoke of combat in South Vietnam it a pressing problem which demands the keen attention of the American people and their government the heartbreak of refugees displaced by the fighting. The refugee problem is basically humanitarian, but the political and economic strain caused by this movement of people also affects the conduct of the war. In three months of public hearings, the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees and Escapees has put on the record considerable information regarding the nature and causes of the refugee problem, and the kinds of programs that are needed to help these hapless people. REFUGEES VICTIMS OF RED TERRORISM The record shows the problem is serious. Since January of this year more than 600,000 refugees have fled from combat zones and areas controlled by Viet Cong forces into cities and towns secured by the Saigon government They arrive homeless and destitute in need of food, shelter and clothare in poor physical condition and ing. Many separated from immediate family and other close relatives. They are victims of Communist terrorism, persecution, and oppression. They are casualties of combat just as surely as the soldiers wounded by Viet Cong bullets. A little told story out of South Vietnam are the dedicated efforts of many individual Americans and nationals of other countries, who serve their governments or private voluntary agencies, often at great personal risk, in assisting the displaced persons. Numbered among American voluntary agencies, all of which are supported by citizens throughout our country, are Catholic Relief Services, CARE, Church World Service, International Rescue Committee, International Voluntary Services, and the Mennonite Central Committee. The work of these agencies deserves high tribute and the continued support of our. government and all Americans. It is extremely important that United States policy toward Vietnam continue to include provision for the refugee problem, and that we assist the government of South Vietnam in every way possible to provide adequate care and protection for the refugees. As President Johnson has been careful to stress, economic assistance to the people of Vietnam is just as important as the needed military effort in that country. Refugees offer an immediate test for our policy.
