North, South Fought Hard Over President Buchanan By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator, WASHINGTON. Democratic harmony, so far as the Dixie-er- at revolt is concerned, remains an uncertain quantity. Demo-crats, basically, are still Democrats, but there will always be cer-tain fundamental differences between North and South which existed even before slavery and secession became issues. Beyond that, however, recent clashes with the Dixiecrats are largely only a levelling off process and probably nothing a sensible compromise cannot cure. People outside of Washington are often surprised that differences L. "ssesm still arise between North and South over ancient mat-ters which most of the country has forgotten. The country has also forgotten that it was here that the earliest outbreaks of sectional feel-ing took place. As early as 1848, there was a riot following an "un- - became Mrs. Harriett Lane Johns-ton, lived to an affluent old age and when she died, left the sum of $50,000 (which bought a lot more marble and bronze then than it would now) for the erection of a statue of her uncle. The donation of a site required the approval of congress. This donation was cheap, consider-ing that, unlike similar tributes to the nation's hero, all ex-penses were provided. Congress was willing enough, but not that stalwart yankee, Lodge, who lived perhaps nearer to the age of Buchanan to his own genera-tion. He cho to dig up all the un-savory memories his scholarly brain could muster to block the do-nation of the site. Naturally hot southern blood grew hotter, and what some of Mr. Lodge's opponents lacked in data, they more than made up in oratory. The motion was passed, but not until tempers had been thoroughly ruffled. The site chosen for the statue was not conspicuous. In fact, I had never seen it until it was brought to my attention by h gentleman fully con-versant with the details of the dis-pute and likewise familiar with every nook and cranny of the capi-tal city. I asked him to show me the statue. He said he knew where it was. In Meridian Park. But just before we arrived at the scene, he paused and said: "It ought to be here." aergrouna running incident in which 76 household servants were spirited off to freedom. The Abo-litionist Weekly was stormed and the capital suffered the biggest at-tack of jitters it had had since the British burned the White House 34 years before. Nine years later a band of armed ruffians from Baltimore entered the city bent on help-ing the "Know Nothing" candi-dates in the local election. (We had local elections then.) The marines had to be called out: six men were killed and twice as many wounded. The tide continued to rise and no President, from Tyler to Buchanan, could or would do anything about It. It was an open secret that Bu-chanan's sympathies were largely south of the Mason-Dixo- n line. Historians agree that he learned in advance the decision in the famous Dred Scott slavery case which was one of the last of the explosions which started the Civil War. To-day supreme court secrets are kept secret. But Buchanan knew the court had ruled that Dred Scott was not a citizen under the meaning of the Consitution, and could not be made a citizen; further that the Cohstiution affirmed a property right in slaves, and such slave prop-erty was protected by the "due process of law" clause. Buchanan realized what the effect of this decision would be, but m his inauguration speech piously advised the country to accept the verdict, no matter what it was. Later when southern sentiment grew in the capital, Buchanan did try to organize a militia, but con-gress would have none of it. The regular army troops in the city were known to be of doubtful loyalty. The militia, much larger on paper, could muster only 150 men. Meanwhile the southern group, the Militant Jackson Demo-cratic association, was drilling 800 men. Finally the militia managed to get a thousand men under arms. But feeling ran high, and on Washing-ton's birthday following the election of Abraham Lincoln by the elec-toral college but before his inaug-uration, the militia paraded. Tyler, a Virginian, went to Buchanan and protested the fact that they had been allowed to dis-play the Stars and Stripes, and Bu-chanan is said to have apologized. Most people have forgotten the northern animosity toward Buchan-an, but it was to crop up again in my time when it was the subject of one of those asidulous debates for which Sen. Cabot Lodge was notorious. Many Presidents are memorialized in stone in Washing-ton, but not all, and in Lodge's time, Buchanan was one who was not Buchanan had been a bachelor and had taken his niece with him to the White House as hostess to as-sist in the brilliant entertainments for which he was noted. She later It developed that he had never seen it either. It was there in an inconspicuous spot, a huge bronze statue, of good workmanship, backed by a wide exedra which is defined as "a seat with a high back" but this would seat several squads of infantry. It is a huge piece ol stonework flanked by two symbolic figures in classic style, one representing dip-lomacy, in which Buchanan was skilled (he had served well as min-ister to Great Britain) and one representing the law in which, if we may judge by his breach of ethics in connection with the su-preme court decision, he was not of equal stature. Perhaps his niece was sensitive on this point for she specified the inscription the only words on the statue beside the dates of his term and the single word "Buchanan" It reads: ' "The incomparable statesman whose walk was upon the moun-tain ranges of the law." (Al-though it isn't indicated, it was Buchanan's own attorney-gener-who said that. There is a certain ironic touch in the fact that Buchanan's memory had to be perpetuated in stone by family subsidy, for from 1820 to 1830 he was one of the few members of congress who pursued the futile attempt to get congress to approve a suitable memorial in the capitol to George Washington. Efforts in this direction either were circumvented or ignored until 1831,' the centenary of Washington's birth. At that time, the public was so aroused over the indifference of congress that George Watterson. then librarian of congress, formed an association which raised the money for the Washington monu-ment which was eventually com-pleted on the spot originally chosen for a statue of Washington by Major L' Enfant who drew the plans for the city. The President said recently he didn't depend on opinion polls un-der any circumstances. Well, if anybody has a reason for that at-titude, it certainly would be Harry Truman. p., y , , p , ' ' ' '' t f I ' ' A if vt $Jf J 7 A 1 BUCHANAN'S ONLY MEMORIAL ai'i .

DEATH SPRAY: Nazis Had ft Out of Mountain View, Calif., came one of the most chilling, awesome post-wa- r tales of what might have been in World War II. It was about a "death spiay" a spray so fatal that if a spot of it the size of a dime lay on a per-son's skin, that person was doomed. THE SPRAY was described as being potent enough to knock out whole divisions of men in exposed positions. A dime-size- d spot, unless wiped off quickly, would kill a man in two minutes. It would penetrate ordi-nary clothing and some types of gas masks. Authorities for these statements were U. S. army engineers who destroyed 125,000 tons of the spray where it was stored in carefully hidden caves in Bavaria. Maj. James M. Graham of the engineer corps said the Germans called the chemical "tabun," a combination of the scientists who invented it. According to Major Graham, who had charge of the disposal of the chemical, "tabun" was a military secret until about six months ago when some informa-tion concerning it leaked out to the American public. One thousand tons were spared from destruction and shipped to the army proving grounds at Aberdeen, Maryland. THE MAJOR said the stuff is nearly odorless that a 'person has to know exactly what he is smell-ing before he can detect it with his nose. It has a faint fruity flavor and looks like crankcase oU. Then the Major said something that would add no comfort to those who fear a war with Russia. He said that the scientists who de-veloped "tabun" were in Berlin when the Russians took over and probably became subject to Soviet control. Speculation was that it was not ,used by the Germans because of a reluctance to engage in chemical warfare for a lack of knowledge of what weapons in this field might be possessed by the Allies. OLIVER TWIST: Fagin Is Issue Intelligent Jews would draw little consolation from the violent acts of their fellow men in multi-tor- n Berlin. With the world on tenterhooks over the possibility of a third world war and with the issue of Palestine not yet completely settled as it af-fects the Jews, a mob of Berlin Jews saw fit to demonstrate over the showing of a British-mad- e film. THE FILM was "Oliver Twist," a story familiar to almost every English-speakin- g schoolboy and, ap-parently, familiar to a great many Jews as well. The Berlin Jews, It seemed, couldn't stomach the Dickens crea-tion, Fagin, one of the major char-acters in the story. Fagin, depicted as a Jew, is an unlovely character who teaches children to steal for him and accords them brutal treat-ment. The charge that the film was "anti-Semiti- was hurled by the Jewish demonstrators. Their demon-stration was effective. It resulted in temporary withdrawal of the film. German police hospitalized some of the rioters, but said they could not continue to protect the theatre. THE ENTIRE AFFAIR provided a disturbing spectacle. Berlin, sup-posed to be the proving ground of the ability of nations to work to-gether, has become, instead, the malodorous corpse of that concep-tion. Fraternity Man Chooses Mind Over Gastronomies Culture had won a minor triumph. At Ann Arbor, Mich., Paul H. Smith, University of Michigan junior, was about to have at it with a hog for eating capacity honors. Thinking better of the idea, he changed his mind. Reason, it appears, had raised its awesome head. Smith declared that, on second thought, it occurred to him that the contest might be a "reflec-tion" on himself and his frater-nity. Fraternity men from high above Cayuga'Si waters to the Rose Bowl breathed easier, buck-led anew to their academic tasks. V Oct iu!ii LABOR LAW: llSooi ; 'Trouble, Trouble' J Imp: ; In the field of liberal or, as some would term it, even "left wing" o. Republicanism, the GOP's Sen. ,''. u Wayne Morse of Oregon was con- - ,1 ceding nothing to no man. d'jy THE SENATOR was vocally and J)f vociferously hurt. The defens of f ro the y law by "big busi- - e ., ; ness" was giving the senator no rest or , ; and he meant to let everyone know I 'rk about it. ax With little originality but much p. vigor, the senator was crying that the attitude of many defenders of j ,aj, r .1 the y law was a "Judas Kus ' betrayal of the capitalistic system." ' bps , IN A SUDDEN onslaught against j Oil . J many of the business men who have l appeared before the committee in ocVsng defense of the measure, the senator :t Co- f .': declared their attitude is "shocking Ak ""' ... selfish . . . . . . SWI1 In contrast, he praised Senator Drug C Taft (jj., Ohio) whose name the law bears, for his "fair-minde- d objec-- Velta tivity" in considering testimony on 'ullmt. J the "shortcomings" of the act. axfie Morse declared he and Taft are 7?u? "much nearer together on the need for a law less drastic against labor" K than they were in 1947 when the act 'I was passed. MEANWHILE, sentiment was growing among congressional ob- - servers that with every day of delay ' on legislative consideration of Taft- - .e Pow Hartley law repeal, there increased ""J- X the probability of labor's failing to ij get as many of the law provisions outlawed as they might hope to do. A major battle was shaping up on the proposal, with many legislators evidencing a dawning conviction ierrv ' at PerhaPs would not be wise to vjus scrap the y law in its ' Pub. entirety and replace it with some avitt version of the Wagner act. v JOBLESS: VJ 3 million Out ' At present count the number of jobless in the United States stood at three million, j However, according to the ex- - j perts, there was no cause for im-- ,1' j mediate concern. Commissioner j Ewan Clague of the federal bureau ' of labor said the time to become alarmed would be when the un- - .tJc employed total reached five mil- - "Chem ; lion and stayed there. : Drapi Would it reach five million? flinson , THAT WAS A POINT on which ' "" j the experts disagreed. Those who were loudest in point-ln- g to the possibility of a depres- - .''ij sion pointed out that in just three Ij months the jobless total had jumped j from 1.8 million to the present three million. That was a rate of J j j J acceleration which, they claimed, i should cause everyone to be j alarmed. Time was an element, Com- - :! missioner Clague contended. Wait, he said, until the March and April '' ; begins to revive the construction "oT'inl business and Easter trade and then armac r "we'll be able to tell better just Bros. ! . where we're going." arety ; j !i The federal official noted there borne j was a drop of 1.75 million workers : in jobs between ; J and hnrno' !' Part o1 this was seasonal. he said, but the overall decline was greater than normal. SIGNIFICANT was a report of Robert G. Goodwin, director of the bureau of employment security, who said that the number of people receiving jobless benefits increased by 62,000 to a total of 1,784,000 dur-ing the week ending February 12. In the same week in 1948, there were 1,030,000 such claims. Employment or its lack has al-ways been a major factor of indi-cation in an evaluation of the na-tion's economic condition because of the simple fact that in past re-cessions general unemployment has always preceded periods of national depression. RUSSIANS: Big War Talk The Russians must keep prepared for war. That was the message of Soviet Marshal Nikolai A. Bulganin, Sov-iet minister of armed forces, in "a statement in an order of the day marking the 31st anniversary of the Red army. The Marshal named the possible enemy the United States. Bulganin added that the "ruling circles of the United States which seek to establish their world domi-nation by force pursue a policy of aggression and of unleashing a new war." The language was strong, even for the Russians. Was it the begin-ning of a campaign by the Soviets to prepare the mass Russian mind for conflict? It could be. Bulganin played on fears and prejudices which might well lay the groundwork for calling the Soviet people into war. Intima-ting the possibility of attack, he assured the Russians that the "Soviet people may rest assured our army, air force and navy will vigilantly stand guard over their socialist homeland." THE UNITED STATES was the only western power singled out by the marshal in his order of the day. But there was a naive element of braggadocio in all the anniver-sary statements. It seemed Lt. Gen. S. S. Shatilov, deputy chief director of the political board of the armed services, was trying to "whistle past the graveyard" when he stated that in its early days the Soviet army had "routed the hordes of 14 powers.
